   Calculated as a percentage of total net assets. Percentages shown parenthetically next to the category headings have been calculated as a percentage of total investments. “Other Securities” are those securities that are not among the top 50 holdings in unaffiliated issuers of the Fund or do not represent more than 1.0% of the net assets of the Fund. Some of the individual securities within this category may include Total or Partial Securities on Loan and/or Non-Income Producing Securities.

Financial Highlights

(a)    Computed using average shares outstanding
(b)    Net asset value (“NAV”) 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

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. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2022, the ETF held approximately 2,470 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the ETF’s assets.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2022, total returns were -13.67% for the ETF and -16.52% for the Russell 3000® Index, the ETF’s benchmark. With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the ETF’s emphasis on value stocks contributed positively to relative performance. The ETF’s emphasis on higher-profitability stocks also contributed positively to relative performance, as higher-profitability value stocks outperformed lower-profitability growth stocks.

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. As of October 31, 2022, the ETF held approximately 150 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the ETF’s assets.

From its inception on February 23, 2022, through October 31, 2022, total returns were -3.31% for the ETF and -7.82% for the Russell 1000® Index, the ETF’s benchmark. The ETF’s focus on stocks with high profitability contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks with high profitability generally outperformed stocks with low profitability for the period.

Dimensional US Real Estate ETF

The Dimensional US Real Estate ETF invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S. real estate securities. As of October 31, 2022, the Portfolio held approximately 140 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the ETF’s assets.

From its inception on February 23, 2022, through October 31, 2022, total returns were -13.52% for the ETF and -16.42% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index, the ETF’s benchmark. Differences in REIT eligibility between the ETF and the benchmark contributed positively to the ETF’s performance relative to the benchmark, most notably among entertainment and tower REITs. The ETF includes entertainment REITs, which are held by the benchmark at a lower weight, and tower REITs, which are not held by the benchmark, and these securities generally outperformed.

Dimensional US Small Cap Value ETF

Additionally, the ETF generally excludes certain companies with high asset growth. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.

From its inception on February 23, 2022, through October 31, 2022, total returns were 1.92% for the ETF and -3.23% for the Russell 2000® Value Index, the ETF’s benchmark. With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks for the period, the ETF’s greater emphasis on value stocks as compared to the benchmark contributed positively to the ETF’s relative performance. The ETF’s emphasis on higher-profitability stocks within the small-value segment of the U.S. market also contributed positively to relative performance, as these stocks outperformed. Additionally, the ETF’s exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) contributed positively to relative performance, as REITs generally underperformed.

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, 2022, these differences generally detracted from non-US developed markets Portfolios’ relative performance and were not material to emerging markets Portfolios’ relative performance.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

 

The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual 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 mutual 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 mutual 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 mutual 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 six-month period indicated.
