DFA - International Small Cap Growth Portfolio

This fund primarily seeks out small, non-U.S. companies situated in developed markets, employing a market capitalization weighting scheme for its investments. The advisor meticulously selects these firms based on their robust financial health, evidenced by high profitability, and their appealing valuations compared to other international small-cap businesses at the point of acquisition. Under typical market conditions, and as a flexible operational guideline rather than a strict mandate, the portfolio commits a minimum of 80% of its net assets to the stock of small businesses within its designated investment universe.
