Dimensional Fund Advisors
Financial economists lead the way in understanding risk and return in securities markets. Working with some of the industry's most respected financial economists, Dimensional brings academic research to practicing investors in the form of distinctive empirical strategies. Founded in 1981, they are headquartered in Los Angeles.
Dimensional Fund Advisor’s investment philosophy is that markets work, that risk and return are related, and that investors' returns are determined principally by asset allocation decisions, not market timing or stock picking. DFA funds are set up to capture the returns of specific asset classes without using active management. Dimensional works to minimize transaction costs and enhance returns through trading and engineering.
Dimensional Fund shares are not available directly to individuals, but are limited to institutional investors and a select group of fee only financial advisors.
