The International Vector Equity Portfolio is a no-load mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio seeks to purchase a broad and diverse group of stocks of non-US companies in developed markets with an increased exposure to small cap stocks and those it considers value stocks relative to the market universe. Increased exposure to small and value companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the portfolio's assets in the large growth companies relative to their weight in the universe or by avoiding purchases in that segment of the market. In assessing value, Dimensional may consider factors such as the issuer's securities having a high book value in relation to their market value, as well as price-to-cash-flow or price-to-earnings ratios. The Portfolio currently invests in companies in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
