About this ETF

Dimensional World ex US Core Equity Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with diversified exposure to global equities outside of the United States. Its primary function is to capture long-term capital appreciation by investing in a wide array of companies across developed and emerging markets. By excluding U.S.-based businesses, the fund allows investors to broaden their portfolio and manage geographic risk. The fund strategically selects stocks based on their market capitalization, aiming to enhance returns by focusing on value and profitability metrics. This focus differentiates it from funds that track broad global indices, because it takes an active approach in leveraging academic finance principles related to smaller capitalization stocks, lower relative price, and higher profitability. Managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors, the Dimensional World ex US Core Equity Fund plays a significant role in the financial markets by providing institutional and retail investors with a structured pathway to international market exposure. This allows for a balanced investment strategy that can complement domestic holdings and partially hedge against U.S. market volatility, while remaining within the broader scope of a diversified investment portfolio.
