DFA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio (DFFVX)

The fund primarily invests in a broad and diversified selection of readily tradable stocks from U.S. small and mid-capitalization companies. The advisor identifies these firms based on their attractive value characteristics and higher profitability. To manage its overall equity market exposure effectively, the fund may also utilize derivative instruments, including futures contracts and options on futures contracts, referencing U.S. equity securities and indices. This allows for adjustments in response to actual or anticipated investor capital flows into or out of the portfolio.
