Dimensional Fund Advisors Portfolio holdings
Dimensional Fund Advisors runs its own versions of index funds, which lean toward smaller company and value stocks. Its approach is to take a long-term view and focus systematically on the sources of expected returns, rather than picking stocks or timing the market. Its founders, David Booth, Rex Sinquefield and Larry Klotz, started it in 1981 after studying at the University of Chicago. The firm is privately owned, and David Booth, one of its founders, is its executive chairman and a principal owner. For decades Dimensional sold only to institutions and through registered advisers, before offering ETFs to the general public in 2020.
