The DFA Emerging Markets Value Portfolio functions as a feeder fund, meaning it aims to achieve its investment goals by allocating virtually all of its assets to its corresponding principal fund, the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. This underlying master fund operates with investment objectives and policies identical to those of the Portfolio. As a general guideline, though not a fundamental policy, the Portfolio typically dedicates a minimum of 80% of its net assets to securities from emerging markets, specifically those designated as "Approved Markets securities" within its official prospectus.
