Noteworthy is the fund’s focus on diversifying across various sectors of the U.S. economy to mitigate company-specific risks while capturing the premium usually associated with value investing. The Dimensional U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio utilizes a systematic approach to stock selection, often relying on empirical research that supports value investing principles. Consequently, it plays a significant role in the financial market by providing investors with a methodical means to access value stocks, which can be pivotal in a diversified investment strategy. This fund contributes to efficient market hypothesis testing by demonstrating that value stocks, often overlooked in favor of growth stocks, can offer competitive returns over time.
