Dear Shareholder,
Dimensional has been working with financial professionals for more than 40 years to deliver better results for investors. Our commitment to understanding financial professionals’ needs and building solutions informed by empirical research and ongoing innovation has helped to transform the industry toward more transparent, data-driven investments.
We use the information contained in market prices to seek better returns and manage risk. Trusting markets means we take a less subjective, more systematic approach to investing—an approach we can implement consistently around the world and across asset classes. Investor needs, economic theory, and robust data guide our investment process, from conducting research, to designing portfolios, to considering when and how to trade.
What started with the launch of our first fund in 1981 still holds true today. Every dollar invested is backed by financial science and Dimensional’s commitment to providing an outstanding investment experience. On behalf of everyone at Dimensional, we thank you for entrusting us with your investments.
Sincerely,
|

Financial Highlights | ||
(a) |
Computed using average shares outstanding | |
(b) |
Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund. | |
(c) |
Not annualized for periods less than one year. | |
(d) |
Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. Market value is determined by the composite closing price. Composite closing security price is defined as the last reported sale price from any primary listing market (e.g., NYSE Arca) or participating regional exchanges or markets. The composite closing price is the last reported sale price from any of the eligible sources, regardless of volume and not an average price and may have occurred on a date prior to the close of the reporting period. Market value may be greater or less than net asset value, depending on the Fund’s closing price on the listing market | |
(e) |
Annualized for periods less than one year. | |
(f) |
Excludes impact of in-kind transactions. | |
(g) |
Realized and unrealized gains per share are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not accord with the aggregate gains and losses in the Statements of Operations due to share transactions for the period. |

Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF
The Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market capitalization stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks relative to the market. Additionally, the ETF generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs). The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2023, the ETF held approximately 2,330 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the ETF’s assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2023, total returns were 7.93% for the ETF and 8.38% for the Russell 3000® Index, the ETF’s benchmark. The ETF’s emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations detracted from relative performance, as these stocks generally underperformed. With value stocks underperforming growth stocks, the ETF’s greater emphasis on value stocks also detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. Conversely, the ETF’s exclusion of REITs contributed positively to relative performance, as REITs generally underperformed.
Dimensional US Core Equity 1 ETF
The Dimensional US Core Equity 1 ETF invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market capitalization stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks relative to the market while considering federal tax implications of investment decisions. Additionally, the ETF generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs). The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2023, the ETF held approximately 2,430 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the ETF’s assets.
From inception on September 12, 2023, through October 31, 2023, total returns were -6.64% for the ETF and -6.35% for the Russell 3000® Index, the ETF’s benchmark. The ETF’s emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations detracted from relative performance, as these stocks generally underperformed. With value stocks underperforming growth stocks, the ETF’s greater emphasis on value stocks also detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.

Dimensional US High Profitability ETF
The Dimensional US High Profitability ETF seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large-cap stocks with higher profitability. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher profitability within the large-cap high relative profitability segment of the U.S. market. Additionally, the ETF generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs) and highly regulated utilities. As of October 31, 2023, the ETF held approximately 180 securities.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2023, total returns were 8.53% for the ETF and 9.48% for the Russell 1000® Index, the ETF’s benchmark. The ETF’s emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations within the large-cap high relative profitability segment of the U.S. market detracted from relative performance, as these stocks generally underperformed. Conversely, the ETF’s exclusion of REITs and highly regulated utilities contributed positively to relative performance, as REITs and utilities generally underperformed.
Dimensional US Large Cap Value ETF
The Dimensional US Large Cap Value ETF is designed to capture the returns of U.S. large company low relative price (value) stocks. The ETF generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs) and highly regulated utilities. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher profitability within the large-cap value segment of the U.S. market. Additionally, the ETF generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs) and highly regulated utilities. As of October 31, 2023, the ETF held approximately 350 securities.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2023, total returns were -7.84% for the ETF and -6.25% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index, the ETF’s benchmark. Differences in REIT eligibility between the ETF and the benchmark detracted from the ETF’s performance relative to the benchmark, most notably among tower REITs.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2023, these differences generally contributed positively to non-US developed markets Portfolios’ relative performance and were not material to emerging markets Portfolios’ relative performance.

The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Tables below illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the period indicated.

DIMENSIONAL ETF TRUST
A. ORGANIZATION
The Dimensional ETF Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on June 16, 2020 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2023, the Trust is comprised of thirty-four operational exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) for each fund representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):

Dimensional Global Real Estate ETF | Global Real Estate ETF | |
Dimensional World Equity ETF | World Equity ETF |
The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which Shares are held. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
The Board is responsible for establishing the Trust’s policies and for overseeing the management of the Trust. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on prior experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The World Equity ETF (the “Fund of Fund”) is a “Fund of Funds” that achieves its investment objective by allocating its assets among other funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Underlying Funds”). The World Equity ETF may also invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. The Underlying Funds’ (excluding the Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF) shareholder reports are included in this report. Copies of the Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF’s shareholder report is available from the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. As of October 31, 2023, the World Equity ETF was the owner of record of the following approximate percentages of the total outstanding shares of the following Underlying Funds as detailed below:

B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Shares of the US Core Equity ETF, US Core Equity 1 ETF, US High Probability ETF, US Large Cap Value ETF, US Real Estate ETF, US Small Cap Value ETF, International Core ETF, Emerging Markets Core ETF, Emerging Markets High Profitability ETF, Emerging Markets Value ETF, Emerging Markets Core 2 ETF, Global Real Estate ETF, and World Equity ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares of the International Core Equity 2 ETF, International Small Cap Value ETF, International Small Cap ETF, and International High Profitability ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares called “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may be purchased or redeemed directly only by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem Shares directly from a Fund.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
1. SECURITY VALUATION
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the fair value of that security will be determined by a committee established by the Advisor, with input from certain third-party pricing services and others, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various inputs used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
115
• |
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts). Money market fund shares are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported by their administrator, as they are treated as regulated investment companies and are also included as Level 1 investments. |
• |
Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• |
Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Rights and warrants are valued at the last sales price on a national securities exchange. If these instruments are not scheduled to trade for a certain period they are generally valued intrinsically based on the terms of the issuance and the price of the underlying security. These instruments are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy unless intrinsic value is used and then would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities (including exchange-traded Underlying Funds and over-the-counter securities) traded on a securities exchange are valued at the official closing price or the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. If there is no last reported sale on the principal exchange or official closing price of the day, and in the case of over-the-counter securities, the Funds value the securities at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. In each of these situations, securities are typically categorized as Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy.
With respect to the International Core ETF, International Core Equity 2 ETF, International Small Cap Value ETF, International Small Cap ETF, International High Profitability ETF, Emerging Markets Core ETF, Emerging Markets High Profitability ETF, Emerging Markets Value ETF, Emerging Markets Core 2 ETF, and Global Real Estate ETF (the “International Funds”), the prices of securities traded in foreign currencies will be expressed in U.S. dollars by using the mid-rate prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources at 4 p.m. London time. The International Funds own securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges which may trade on days when the International Funds do not price their shares, therefore the value of securities held by the International Funds may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.
Derivative Instruments: Forward currency contracts are valued using the sum of the spot rate, the available forward point quotation nearest and prior to settlement date, and the linear interpolation of the available forward point quotations nearest to, before and after the settlement date. Futures contracts are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. The value of such futures contracts held by the Fund is determined each day as of such exchange close.
Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of the Advisor) occur before the NAV is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Funds may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
116
2. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Certain securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by a Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities. Non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received from the investment in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Fund of Funds estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions.
3. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
The accounting records of the International Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The International Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as net realized gains or losses from investment securities sold and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.
4. RESTRICTED SECURITIES
A restricted security is a security that cannot be offered for public sale without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) (absent an exemption). Whether a restricted security is illiquid is determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Funds’ liquidity risk management program. Not all restricted securities are considered illiquid.
5. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
6. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Each eligible Trustee (each a “Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) of the Trust may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
117
Each Trustee has the option to receive the distribution of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
7. OTHER
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. Additionally, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad. Emerging Core Equity Market ETF, Emerging Markets High Profitability ETF, Emerging Markets Value ETF, Emerging Markets Core Equity 2 ETF, and Global Real Estate ETF are subject to tax on short-term and long-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly. Common expenses of the Funds are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
C. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each Fund’s Summary Schedule of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
1. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The International Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts, in connection with the settlement of foreign securities or to transfer cash balances from one currency to another currency. The decision to hedge a Fund’s currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be based primarily on the Fund’s existing exposure to a given foreign currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Fund’s Statement of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward currency contracts. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. As of October 31, 2023, there were no forward currency contracts outstanding. During the period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds had limited activity in forward currency contracts.
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS
Each Fund may purchase or sell futures and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known
118
as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the possibility that the Fund could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Funds entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Currency Rate Risk Exposure:
The International Funds had limited activity in forward foreign currency contracts during the period ended October 31, 2023 and no such contracts were outstanding as of October 31, 2023. Net realized and changes in unrealized gain or loss on such contracts were minimal during the period ended October 31, 2023, and are included in Net Realized Gain (Loss) from Investment Securities Sold and Foreign Currency Transactions and Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investment Securities and Foreign Currency Translations, respectively, on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities:
In order to better define contractual rights and to secure rights that will help mitigate counterparty risk, certain Funds have entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or a similar agreement with certain derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and forward currency contracts and typically contains, among other things, provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event and may also include collateral posting items. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted, if any, and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, a Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For each Fund (excluding the World Equity ETF), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (excluding the expenses that the Fund incurs indirectly through its investment in other investment companies) (“ETF Fund Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the ETF Fund Expenses of the Fund, on an annualized basis, to the rate listed above as percentage of average net assets (the “Expense Limitation Amount”).
For the World Equity ETF, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (including the expenses incurred through its investment in other investment companies but excluding the expenses that the Fund incurs through investment of its securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund) (“Fund Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund Expenses, on an annualized basis, to the rate listed above as percentage of average net assets (the “Expense Limitation Amount”).
US Core Equity ETF, International Core ETF, and Emerging Markets Core ETF (each, a “Unitary Fee Fund” and together, the “Unitary Fee Funds”) pay the Advisor a unitary management fee for managing the Funds’ assets.

2. EARNED INCOME CREDIT
Additionally, certain Funds have entered into arrangements with their custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a portion of each Fund’s custody expenses. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of each Fund’s net assets. During the period ended October 31, 2023, expenses reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):

F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund has qualified (with respect to the US Core Equity 1 ETF, US Large Cap Value ETF, Global Real Estate ETF, and World Equity ETF intend to qualify) and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains or losses, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2023, can occur as a result of realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” non-deductible expenses, realized foreign capital gains tax, the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, net foreign currency gains/losses, distributions received from real estate investment trusts and distribution redesignations, redemption in-kind transactions, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the periods ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2023, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales and amortization of certain expenses. |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments or other investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, if applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. SECURITIES LENDING
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had securities on loan to brokers/dealers for which the Funds received cash collateral. Additionally, the Funds received non-cash collateral consisting of short-and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):

Each Fund with securities on loan invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Funds’ collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Fund could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to its stated investment policies, a Fund with securities on loan will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, a Fund will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands):

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the period ended October 31, 2023.
J. CAPITAL SHARES TRANSACTIONS
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The Advisor may increase, decrease or otherwise modify the creation transaction fee to an amount that, in its judgment, is necessary or appropriate to recoup for the Fund the costs it may incur as a result of such purchases, or to otherwise eliminate or reduce so far as practicable any dilution of the value of the Shares.
Such transactions fees are treated as increases in capital and are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to subscriptions-in-kind or redemptions-in-kind may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities payable related to in-kind transactions” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
K. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, the Funds may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities held by the Funds may be inhibited.
L. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised funds, has entered into a $700 million unsecured line of credit with its custodian bank effective December 28, 2022. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through December 28, 2022. Each Fund is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of the lower of one-quarter of such Fund’s net assets or $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each Fund is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit agreement expires on December 27, 2023.
133
For the period ended October 31, 2023, borrowings by the Funds under the line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
Weighted Average Interest Rate |
Weighted Average Loan Balance |
Number of Days Outstanding |
Interest Expense Incurred |

Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the period ended October 31, 2023, that each Fund’s available line of credit was used. |
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Funds may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (funds that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating funds to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending funds as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a fund may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
The Funds did not use the interfund lending program during the period ended October 31, 2023.
M. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs were effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occurred during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and determined the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments requiring open-end management investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, to transmit concise and visually engaging semi-annual and annual reports that highlight key information, including fund expenses, performance, and holdings to
134
shareholders. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the Funds’ shareholder reports but will be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semi-annual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. Accordingly, the rule and form amendments will not impact the Funds until the 2024 annual shareholder reports, and will have no effect on the Funds’ accounting policies or financial statements.
N. OTHER
The Funds are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, claw back litigation against former shareholders of fund companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as the now ended litigation involving The Tribune Company and the ongoing litigation involving Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Funds, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Funds’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
As of October 31, 2023, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Funds’ outstanding shares. The following shareholders are omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Trustees/ Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors (each, the “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), Dimensional ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”), and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/ Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Trustees/Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Investment Strategy Committee (the “Strategy Committee”). The Audit Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.
Each Board’s Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate’s qualification for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and other principal service providers. There were four Nominating Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.
Each Board’s Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O’Reilly, Douglas W. Diamond, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios’ investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and (iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

Tax Notice to Shareholders (Unaudited)
The following information is solely for informational purposes. Each Fund is designating the U.S. federal income tax character of the following items with respect to distributions paid or expected to be paid to shareholders related to the period ended October 31, 2023. All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For each classification below and including “Section 163(j) interest dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.163(j)-1(b)(35) and “Section 199A dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.199A -3(d), it is the intent of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, shareholders generally must report distributions received from a Fund on a calendar-year basis, which therefore may include distributions with respect to portions of two fiscal years of the Fund. Annual statements needed by shareholders concerning the tax status of distributions received for the calendar year 2023 (e.g., IRS Form 1099-DIV) will be provided in early 2024. Shareholders should refer to these statements in preparing their calendar year 2023 tax returns. Please consult your tax advisor for the proper treatment of this information. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts in the table are expressed as a percentage of the distributions paid with respect to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.
