RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

About the Portfolio

The Portfolio:

o Is generally offered only to institutional investors and clients of
registered investment advisers.

o Does not charge sales commissions or "loads."

o Is designed for long-term investors.

The Portfolio Has a Special Structure: The Portfolio is a "fund of funds," which
means that the Portfolio allocates its assets among other mutual funds managed
by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the "Advisor" or "Dimensional"). In addition to
investing in other mutual funds, the Portfolio may also invest directly in
securities and other investments.

Management

Dimensional is the investment manager for the Portfolio.

Investment Objective, Strategies, and Risks of the DFA Global Real Estate
Securities Portfolio

o Investment Objective: Long-term capital appreciation.

o Investment Strategy: Achieve exposure to a broad portfolio of
securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies in the real estate industry,
including companies in developed and emerging markets, with a focus on
real estate investment trusts ("REITs") or companies that the Advisor
considers REIT-like entities by primarily purchasing shares of two
other mutual funds managed by the Advisor, the DFA Real Estate
Securities Portfolio and the DFA International Real Estate Securities
Portfolio (the "Underlying Funds"). In addition to investing in the
Underlying Funds, the Portfolio also may invest directly in securities
of companies in the real estate industry.

o Principal Risks: Fund of Funds Risk, Market Risk, Risks of
Concentrating in the Real Estate Industry, Real Estate Investment
Risk, Small Company Risk, Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk, and
Emerging Markets Risk.

Principal Risks

Fund of Funds Risk: The investment performance of the Portfolio is affected by
the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio
invests. The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective
depends on the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their investment
objectives and on the Advisor's decisions regarding the allocation of the
Portfolio's assets among the Underlying Funds. There can be no assurance that
the investment objective of the Portfolio or any Underlying Fund will be
achieved. Through its investments in the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio is
subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds' investments. The risks listed
below for the Portfolio include both the risks associated with direct investment
in securities by the Portfolio and indirect investment in securities through the
Portfolio's investment in the Underlying Funds.

Market Risk: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit.
Economic, political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of
securities, and the Portfolio that owns them, to rise or fall. Because the value
of your investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, there is the risk that you
may lose money.

Risks of Concentrating in the Real Estate Industry: The Portfolio is
concentrated in the real estate industry. The Portfolio's exclusive focus on the
real estate industry may expose the Portfolio to the general risks involved in
direct real estate ownership. The Portfolio's performance may be materially
different from the broad equity market.

Real Estate Investment Risk: The value of securities in the real estate industry
can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property
taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements. Investing in REITs
and REIT-like entities involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. REITs and
REIT-like entities are dependent upon management skill, may not be diversified,
and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency and self-liquidation. REITs and
REIT-like entities also are subject to the possibility of failing to qualify for
tax free pass-through of income. Also, because REITs and REIT-like entities
typically are invested in a limited number of projects or in a particular market
segment, these entities are more susceptible to adverse developments affecting a
single project or market segment than more broadly diversified investments.

Small Company Risk: Securities of small companies are often less liquid than
those of large companies. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate
relatively more in price.

Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk: Foreign securities prices may decline or
fluctuate because of: (a) economic or political actions of foreign governments,
and/or (b) less regulated or liquid securities markets. Investors holding these
securities also are exposed to foreign currency risk (the possibility that
foreign currency will decrease in value against the U.S. dollar resulting in an
adverse impact on the Portfolio's returns).

Emerging Markets Risk: Numerous emerging market countries have experienced
serious, and potentially continuing, economic and political problems. Stock
markets in many emerging market countries are relatively small, expensive to
trade, and risky. Foreigners are often limited in their ability to invest in,
and withdraw assets from, these markets. Additional restrictions may be imposed
under other conditions.

Other Risks

Derivatives:

The Underlying Funds also may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and
options on futures contracts, to gain market exposure on the Portfolio's
uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay
redemptions. The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may be considered
more speculative than other types of investments. When an Underlying Fund uses
derivatives for non-hedging purposes, the Underlying Fund will be directly
exposed to the risks of that derivative. Gains or losses from derivative
investments may be substantially greater than the derivatives' original cost.

Securities Lending:

The Underlying Funds may lend their portfolio securities to generate additional
income. The Portfolio does not currently engage in securities lending but may do
so in the future. Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may
fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, an
Underlying Fund may lose money and there may be a delay in recovering the loaned
securities. An Underlying Fund also could lose money if the Underlying Fund does
not recover the securities and/or the value of the collateral falls, including
the value of investments made with cash collateral. Securities lending may have
certain potential adverse tax consequences. See "SECURITIES LOANS" for further
information on securities lending.

Other Information

Commodity Pool Operator Exemption:

The Portfolio is operated by a person that has claimed an exclusion from the
definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Exchange
Act ("CEA"), and, therefore, such person is not subject to registration or
regulation as a pool operator under the CEA.

Risk and Return Bar Chart and Table

Performance information is not available for the Portfolio because it is new.

FEES AND EXPENSES

This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the Portfolio.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets)

Management Fee..........................................................0.35%(1)

Other Expenses..........................................................0.10%(2)

Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses.......................................0.13%(3)

Total Annual Operating Expenses............................................0.58%

Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursements.................................(0.03)%

__________________

(1) The Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of the Portfolio's
management fee to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees
paid by the Portfolio to the Advisor directly and indirectly (the
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through
its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor) to 0.35% of the
Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized basis.

(2) "Other Expenses" are annualized expenses based on anticipated fees and
expenses payable by the Portfolio through the fiscal year ending November
30, 2008.

(3) Represents the amount of fees and expenses anticipated to be incurred by
the Portfolio through its investment in the Underlying Funds and other
investment companies for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2008.

(4) Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the
Portfolio, the Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the expenses of the Portfolio (including the
expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other investment
companies managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through its investment in unaffiliated
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to 0.55% of the Portfolio's
average net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less
than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the
right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the
Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Portfolio's Expense
Limitation Amount. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor
for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor
more than thirty-six months before the date of such reimbursement. The Fee
Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect for an
initial period until April 1, 2009, and then shall continue in effect from
year to year for one-year periods thereafter unless terminated by the
Advisor.

EXAMPLE

This Example is meant to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time
periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those
periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year
and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs
would be as follows:

l Year 3 Years
-------- --------
DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio $56 $183

Because the Portfolio is new, the Example is based on the anticipated
expenses for the Portfolio for the current fiscal year, and does not extend over
five- and ten-year periods.

HIGHLIGHTS

Management Services

The Advisor serves as investment advisor to the Portfolio. See "MANAGEMENT
OF THE PORTFOLIO."

Purchase, Valuation, and Redemption of Shares

The shares of the Portfolio are sold at net asset value. The redemption
price of the shares of the Portfolio is also equal to the net asset value of its
shares. The value of the Portfolio's shares will fluctuate in relation to its
own investment experience. See "PURCHASE OF SHARES," "VALUATION OF SHARES," and
"REDEMPTION OF SHARES."

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

Investment Objective and Policies

The investment objective of the Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital
appreciation. The Portfolio seeks to achieve exposure to a broad portfolio of
securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies in the real estate industry, with a
focus on REITs or companies that the Advisor considers REIT-like entities by
primarily purchasing shares of two Underlying Funds, the DFA Real Estate
Securities Portfolio and the DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio.
The Portfolio and Underlying Funds consider a company to be principally engaged
in the real estate industry if the company's principal activities include
development, ownership, construction, management, or sale of residential,
commercial, or industrial real estate. REITs and REIT-like entities are types of
real estate companies that pool investors' funds for investment primarily in
income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests.

The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio, an Underlying Fund in which the
Portfolio invests, invests principally in readily marketable equity securities
of companies in the following sectors of the real estate industry: certain U.S.
REITs, companies engaged in residential construction and firms, except
partnerships, whose principal business is to develop commercial property. The
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio makes investments in securities traded in
the U.S. securities markets, principally on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"), American Stock Exchange ("Amex ") and over-the counter market.

The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, an Underlying Fund
in which the Portfolio invests, concentrates its investments in a broad and
diverse set of securities of non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the real
estate industry with a particular focus on non-U.S. REITs and companies the
Advisor considers to be REIT-like entities. The DFA International Real Estate
Securities Portfolio may purchase non-U.S. real estate securities listed or
traded in the form of European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts,
American Depositary Receipts or other types of depositary receipts (including
non-voting depositary receipts) and dual listed securities. The DFA
International Real Estate Securities Portfolio also may invest in stapled
securities, where one or more of the underlying securities represent interests
in a company or subsidiary in the real estate industry.

The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio may invest in the
securities of companies in developed and emerging markets. As of the date of
this Prospectus, the DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio is
authorized to invest in real estate companies in the following countries:
Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan,
the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey and the
United Kingdom. The Advisor will determine, in its discretion, when and whether
to invest in countries that have been authorized, depending on a number of
factors, such as asset growth in the Portfolio and the characteristics of each
country's markets. The Investment Committee of the Advisor also may authorize
other countries for investment in the future, in addition to the countries
listed above, or may remove one or more markets from the list of authorized
markets. If the Advisor removes a country from the list of authorized markets,
the DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio is permitted to continue
to hold such securities of companies associated with that country in its
portfolio even if the country is no longer approved for new investments.

In addition to, or in place of, investments in the Underlying Funds
described above, the Portfolio also is permitted to invest directly in the same
types of securities of companies in the real estate industry that are described
in this Prospectus as eligible investments for the Underlying Funds. As a
non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the
Portfolio's net assets will be invested directly, or indirectly through its
investment in the Underlying Funds, in securities of companies in the real
estate industry. If the Portfolio changes this investment policy, it will notify
shareholders at least 60 days before the change, and will change the name of the
Portfolio.

In addition, each Underlying Fund is authorized to use derivatives, such as
futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to gain market exposure on
uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay
redemptions. Each Underlying Fund may enter into futures contracts and options
on futures contracts for equity securities and indices, and such investments may
or may not provide exposure to the real estate industry. In addition to money
market instruments and other short-term investments, the Portfolio and each
Underlying Fund may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated unregistered money
market funds and the Portfolio and DFA International Real Estate Securities
Portfolio may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered money market
funds. The Portfolio and Underlying Funds may invest in such money market funds
and other short-term investments to manage cash pending investment in other
securities or to maintain liquidity for the payment of redemptions or other
purposes. Investments in money market funds may involve a duplication of certain
fees and expenses.

The Portfolio and DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio may
invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and similarly structured pooled
investments that provide exposure to equity markets, including the United
States, both within and outside the real estate industry, and for the purposes
of gaining exposure to the equity markets, while maintaining liquidity.

Portfolio Construction

The Portfolio primarily allocates its investments between the two
Underlying Funds. The Advisor has prepared and will maintain a schedule of
eligible investments consisting of equity securities of all companies in the
real estate industry described above as being presently eligible for investment
by each Underlying Fund. It is the intention of each Underlying Fund to invest
in the securities of eligible companies using a market capitalization weighted
approach to determine security weights and country weights. See "MARKET
CAPITALIZATION WEIGHTED APPROACH.

While a company's stock may meet the applicable criteria described above,
the stock may not be purchased by an Underlying Fund if, at the time of
purchase, in the judgment of the Advisor, the issuer is in extreme financial
difficulty or is involved in a merger or consolidation or is the subject of an
acquisition that could result in the company no longer being considered
principally engaged in the real estate business or if the Advisor determines, in
its judgment, that the purchase of such stock is inappropriate given other
conditions.

If securities must be sold in order to obtain funds to make redemption
payments, such securities may be repurchased by an Underlying Fund, as
additional cash becomes available to it. However, each Underlying Fund has
retained the right to borrow to make redemption payments and is also authorized
to redeem its shares in kind. See "REDEMPTION OF SHARES." Further, because the
securities of certain companies whose shares are eligible for purchase are
thinly traded, each Underlying Fund might not be able to purchase the number of
shares that strict adherence to market capitalization weighting might require.

Investments will not be based upon an issuer's dividend payment policy or
record. However, many of the companies whose securities will be included in an
Underlying Fund do pay dividends. It is anticipated, therefore, that an
Underlying Fund will receive dividend income. Periodically, the Advisor may
expand the schedule of eligible investments to include equity securities of
companies in sectors of the real estate industry in addition to those described
in this Prospectus and to designate additional eligible companies and countries
to respond to market events, new listings, and/or new legal structures in the
U.S. and non-U.S. markets, among others.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Securities will not be purchased or sold based on the prospects for the
economy, the securities markets, or the individual issuers whose shares are
eligible for purchase. Securities that have depreciated in value since their
acquisition will not be sold solely because prospects for the issuer are not
considered attractive or due to an expected or realized decline in securities
prices in general. Securities may be sold without regard to the length of time
held. Securities, including those eligible for purchase, may be disposed of,
however, at any time when, in the Advisor's judgment, circumstances warrant
their sale, including, but not limited to, tender offers, mergers, and similar
transactions, or bids made for block purchases at opportune prices. Generally,
securities will be purchased with the expectation that they will be held for
longer than one year and will be held until such time as they are no longer an
appropriate holding in light of the investment policies of the Portfolio.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION WEIGHTED APPROACH

The portfolio structure of the Portfolio, to the extent it purchases
portfolio securities directly, and the portfolio structures of each Underlying
Fund involve market capitalization weighting in determining individual security
weights and, where applicable, country or region weights. Market capitalization
weighting means each security is generally purchased based on the issuer's
relative market capitalization. Market capitalization weighting will be adjusted
by the Advisor for a variety of factors. The Advisor may consider such factors
as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management and other
factors determined to be appropriate by the Advisor given market conditions. The
Advisor may deviate from market capitalization weighting to limit or fix the
exposure of an Underlying Fund to a particular issuer to a maximum proportion of
the assets of the Underlying Fund. The Advisor may exclude the stock of a
company that meets applicable market capitalization criterion if the Advisor
determines, in its judgment, that the purchase of such stock is inappropriate in
light of other conditions. These adjustments will result in a deviation from
traditional market capitalization weighting.

Adjustment for free float adjusts market capitalization weighting to
exclude the share capital of a company that is not freely available for trading
in the public equity markets by international investors. For example, the
following types of shares may be excluded: (i) those held by strategic investors
(such as governments, controlling shareholders and management), (ii) treasury
shares, or (iii) shares subject to foreign ownership restrictions.

Deviation from market capitalization weighting also will occur because the
Advisor generally intends to purchase in round lots. Furthermore, the Advisor
may reduce the relative amount of any security held in order to retain
sufficient portfolio liquidity. A portion, but generally not in excess of 20% of
assets, may be invested in interest bearing obligations, such as money market
instruments, thereby causing further deviation from market capitalization
weighting. A further deviation may occur due to investments in privately placed
convertible debentures.

Block purchases of eligible securities may be made at opportune prices,
even though such purchases exceed the number of shares that, at the time of
purchase, adherence to a market capitalization weighted approach would otherwise
require. In addition, securities eligible for purchase or otherwise represented
in an Underlying Fund may be acquired in exchange for the issuance of shares.
See "PURCHASE OF SHARES--In Kind Purchases." While such transactions might cause
a deviation from market capitalization weighting, they would ordinarily be made
in anticipation of further growth of assets.

Changes in the composition and relative ranking (in terms of market
capitalization) of the stocks that are eligible for purchase take place with
every trade when the securities markets are open for trading due, primarily, to
price fluctuations of such securities. On at least a semi-annual basis, the
Advisor will prepare lists of companies whose stock is eligible for investment
by an Underlying Fund. Additional investments generally will not be made in
securities that have changed in value sufficiently to be excluded from the
Advisor's then current market capitalization requirement for eligible portfolio
securities. This may result in further deviation from market capitalization
weighting. Such deviation could be substantial if a significant amount of
holdings of an Underlying Fund change in value sufficiently to be excluded from
the requirement for eligible securities, but not by a sufficient amount to
warrant their sale.

Country weights may be based on the total market capitalization of
companies within each country. The calculation of country market capitalization
may take into consideration the free float of companies within a country or
whether these companies are eligible to be purchased for the particular
strategy. In addition, to maintain a satisfactory level of diversification, the
Investment Committee may limit or fix the exposure to a particular country or
region to a maximum proportion of the assets of that vehicle. Country weights
may also deviate from target weights due to general day-to-day trading patterns
and price movements. As a result, the weighting of certain countries may vary
from their weighting in published international indices.

SECURITIES LOANS

The Portfolio and the Underlying Funds are authorized to lend securities to
qualified brokers, dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the
purpose of earning additional income. At this time, however, the Portfolio does
not intend to engage in securities lending directly. While each Underlying Fund
may earn additional income from lending securities, such activity is incidental
to the investment objective of the Underlying Fund. The value of securities
loaned may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of a Underlying Fund's total assets,
which includes the value of collateral received. To the extent an Underlying
Fund loans a portion of its securities, the Underlying Fund will receive
collateral consisting generally of cash or U.S. government securities, which
will be maintained by marking to market daily in an amount equal to at least (i)
100% of the current market value of the loaned securities, with respect to
securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current
market value of the loaned securities, with respect to U.S. securities, and
(iii) 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities, with respect to
foreign securities. Subject to its stated investment policies, an Underlying
Fund may invest the collateral received for the loaned securities in securities
of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by
securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and registered and
unregistered money market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies
include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. In
addition, an Underlying Fund will be able to terminate the loan at any time and
will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the loaned securities. However,
dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible to be taxed
at qualified dividend income rates. See the Statement of Additional Information
(the "SAI") for a further discussion of the tax consequences related to
securities lending. An Underlying Fund will be entitled to recall a loaned
security to vote proxies or otherwise obtain rights to vote proxies of a loaned
securities if the Underlying Fund knows that a material event will occur. In the
event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Fund could experience delay in
recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of
equivalent value. See "OTHER RISKS--SECURITIES LENDING" for a discussion of the
risks related to securities lending.

MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO

The Advisor serves as investment advisor to the Portfolio. As such, the
Advisor is responsible for the management of the Portfolio's assets. The
Portfolio is managed using a team approach. The investment team includes the
Investment Committee of the Advisor, portfolio managers, and other trading
personnel.

The Investment Committee is composed primarily of certain officers and
directors of the Advisor who are appointed annually. As of the date of this
Prospectus, the Investment Committee has seven members. Investment strategies
for the Portfolio are made by the Investment Committee, which meets on a regular
basis and also as needed to consider investment issues. The Investment Committee
also sets and reviews all investment related policies and procedures and
approves any changes in regards to authorized countries, security types, and
brokers.

In accordance with the team approach used to manage the Portfolio, the
portfolio managers and portfolio traders implement the policies and procedures
established by the Investment Committee. The portfolio managers and portfolio
traders also make daily investment decisions regarding the Portfolio, including
running buy and sell programs, based on the parameters established by the
Investment Committee. Stephen A. Clark and Karen E. Umland, serve as the
portfolio managers for the Portfolio, together they coordinate the efforts of
all other portfolio managers with respect to the day-to-day management of the
Portfolio.

Mr. Clark is a Senior Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor
and chairman of the Investment Committee. Mr. Clark received his MBA from the
University of Chicago and his BS from Bradley University. Mr. Clark joined the
Advisor in 2001 and has been responsible for the portfolio management group
since January 2006.

Ms. Umland is a Senior Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor
and a member of the Investment Committee. She received her BA from Yale
University in 1988 and her MBA from the University of California at Los Angeles
in 1993. Ms. Umland joined the Advisor in 1993 and has been responsible for the
international equity portfolios since 1998.

The Portfolio's SAI provides information about the portfolio managers'
compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the
portfolio managers' ownership of Portfolio shares.

The Advisor provides the Portfolio with a trading department and selects
brokers and dealers to effect securities transactions. Securities transactions
are placed with a view to obtaining best price and execution. The Advisor's
address is 1299 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401. A discussion regarding the
basis for the Board of Directors' approving the investment management agreements
with respect to the Portfolio will be available in future annual or semi-annual
reports to shareholders of the Portfolio.

The Fund bears all of its own costs and expenses, including: services of
its independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel, brokerage
commissions, and transfer taxes in connection with the acquisition and
disposition of portfolio securities, taxes, insurance premiums, costs incidental
to meetings of its shareholders and directors, the cost of filing its
registration statements under the federal securities laws and the cost of any
filings required under state securities laws, reports to shareholders, and
transfer and dividend disbursing agency, administrative services, and custodian
fees. Expenses allocable to a particular portfolio of the Fund are so allocated.
The expenses of the Fund that are not allocable to a particular portfolio are
borne by each portfolio on the basis of its relative net assets or equally.

The Advisor has been engaged in the business of providing investment
management services since May 1981. The Advisor is currently organized as a
Delaware limited partnership and is controlled and operated by its general
partner, Dimensional Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation. Prior to November 3,
2006, the Advisor was named Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. and was organized as
a Delaware corporation. As of the date of this Prospectus, assets under
management total approximately $140 billion. The Advisor controls Dimensional
Fund Advisors Ltd. ("DFAL") and DFA Australia Limited ("DFA Australia").

The Advisor has entered into a Sub Advisory Agreement with each of DFAL (7
Down Street, London W1J 7AJ, United Kingdom) and DFA Australia (Level 29 Gateway
1, MacQuarie Place, Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia), respectively, with
respect to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the terms of each Sub Advisory Agreement,
DFAL and DFA Australia each have the authority and responsibility to select
brokers and dealers to execute securities transactions for the Portfolio. Each
Sub Advisor's duties include the maintenance of a trading desk and the
determination of the best and most efficient means of executing securities
transactions. On at least a semi-annual basis, the Advisor will review the
holdings of the Portfolio and review the trading process and the execution of
securities transactions. The Advisor is responsible for determining those
securities that are eligible for purchase and sale by the Portfolio and may
delegate this task, subject to its own review, to DFAL and DFA Australia. DFAL
and DFA Australia maintain and furnish to the Advisor information and reports on
companies in certain markets, including recommendations of securities to be
added to the securities that are eligible for purchase by the Portfolio, as well
as making recommendations and elections on corporate actions. DFAL is a member
of the Financial Services Authority ("FSA"), a self-regulatory organization for
investment managers operating under the laws of England.

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends and Distributions

The Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). As a regulated investment
company, the Portfolio generally pays no federal income tax on the income and
gains it distributes to shareholders. Dividends from net investment income of
the Portfolio are distributed quarterly (on a calendar basis) and any net
realized capital gains (after any reductions for capital loss carry-forwards)
are distributed typically in November. The Portfolio also may make an additional
dividend distribution from net investment income in November of each year. The
amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee that the
Portfolio will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution.

Shareholders of the Portfolio will automatically receive all income
dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Portfolio
whose shares may hold at net asset value (as of the business date following the
dividend record date), unless, upon written notice to the Advisor and completion
of account information, the shareholder selects one of the options listed below:

Income Option--to receive income dividends in cash and capital gains
distributions in additional shares at net asset value.

Capital Gains Option--to receive capital gains distributions in cash and
income dividends in additional shares at net asset value.

Cash Option--to receive both income dividends and capital gains
distributions in cash.

Every January, each shareholder will receive a statement that shows the tax
status of dividends and distributions received the previous year. Distributions
declared in December to shareholders of record in such month but paid in
January, are taxable as if they were paid in December. Mutual funds may
reclassify income after tax reporting statements are mailed to shareholders.
This can result from the rules in the Code that effectively prevent mutual
funds, such as the Portfolio, from ascertaining with certainty, until after the
calendar year end, and in some cases the Portfolio's fiscal year end, the final
amount and character of distributions the Portfolio has received on its
investments during the prior calendar year. Prior to issuing statements to
shareholders, the Portfolio makes every effort to search for reclassified income
to reduce the number of corrected forms mailed to shareholders. However, when
necessary, the Portfolio will send each shareholder a corrected Form 1099-DIV to
reflect reclassified information.

If a taxable shareholder invests in the Portfolio shortly before the record
date of a taxable distribution, the distribution will lower the value of the
Portfolio's shares by the amount of the distribution and, in effect, the
shareholder will receive some of the shareholders investment back in the form of
a taxable distribution.

Taxes

In general, if a shareholder is a taxable investor, Portfolio distributions
are taxable to the shareholder at either ordinary income or capital gains tax
rates. This is true whether the shareholder reinvests distributions in
additional Portfolio shares or receives them in cash. A distribution of an
amount in excess of the Portfolio's taxable income and capital gains realized
during a taxable year is treated as a non-taxable return of capital that reduces
a shareholder's tax basis in Portfolio shares.

Shareholders should be aware that the Portfolio may distribute a large part
of any appreciation in value of its investments as ordinary income rather than
as capital gains. This is because the Portfolio intends to elect to
mark-to-market its investments in certain non-U.S. real estate companies that
are treated as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) due to their capital
structure and sources of revenue. Under the mark-to-market rules, the Portfolio
must include in income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a PFIC as
of the close of the Portfolio's taxable year over the Portfolio's tax basis in
the PFIC. This unrealized gain (as well as any gain on the sale of the PFIC for
which the mark-to-market election is made) is treated as ordinary income. If the
Portfolio is unable to identify an investment as a PFIC and thus does not make a
mark-to-market election, the Portfolio may be subject to U.S. federal income tax
and a related interest charge as described in the SAI.

Whether paid in cash or additional shares and regardless of the length of
time the Portfolio's shares have been owned by shareholders who are subject to
U.S. federal income taxes, distributions from long-term capital gains are
taxable as such. Dividends from net investment income or net short-term capital
gains will be taxable as ordinary income, whether received in cash or in
additional shares. Because the Portfolio's investment strategy is to invest in
non-U.S. companies, none of the Portfolio's dividends are expected to qualify
for the corporate dividends received deduction. A portion of the income
dividends paid by the Portfolio may be qualified dividends eligible for taxation
by individual shareholders at long-term capital gains rates provided certain
holding period requirements are satisfied. The Portfolio cannot predict at this
time what portion, if any, of its dividends from non-U.S. real estate companies
will be eligible for these reduced rates because, among other requirements,
dividends from PFICs are not eligible to be treated as qualified dividend
income.

The Portfolio may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on income from
foreign securities. If more than 50% in value of the total assets of the
Portfolio is invested in securities of foreign corporations, the Portfolio may
elect to pass through to its shareholders their pro rata share of foreign income
taxes paid by the Portfolio. If this election is made, shareholders will be
required to include in their gross income their pro rata share of these foreign
taxes paid by the Portfolio, and will be entitled to deduct (as an itemized
deduction in the case of individuals) their share of such foreign taxes in
computing their taxable income or to claim a credit for such taxes against their
U.S. federal income tax, subject to certain limitations under the Code. Because
the Portfolio invests primarily as a "fund of funds" and the Underlying Funds
are treated as corporations, it is unlikely that the Portfolio will qualify to
elect to pass through to shareholders the Portfolio's pro rata share of foreign
taxes paid by the Underlying Funds.

The sale of shares of the Portfolio is a taxable event and may result in a
capital gain or loss to shareholders who are subject to tax. Capital gains or
loss may be realized from an ordinary redemption of shares or an exchange of
shares between two Portfolios. Any loss incurred on sale or exchange of the
Portfolio's shares, held for six months or less, will be treated as a long-term
capital loss to the extent of capital gain dividends received with respect to
such shares.

In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state
and local taxes on distributions from the Portfolio and on gains on redemptions
or exchanges of the Portfolio's shares. Distributions of interest income
realized from certain types of U.S. government securities may be exempt from
state personal income taxes.

Non-U.S. investors are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% or lower
treaty rate on dividends paid by the Portfolio, subject to limited exemptions
for dividends designated as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain
dividends and interest-related dividends. The exemptions from withholding for
short-term capital gain dividends and interest-related dividends sunset and will
no longer apply to dividends paid with respect to taxable years of the Portfolio
beginning after December 31, 2007 unless such exemptions are extended or made
permanent. Notwithstanding such exemptions, non-U.S. investors are subject to
backup withholding at a rate of 28% on dividends, capital gains distributions,
and redemption proceeds paid to shareholders who fails to properly certify they
are not U.S. persons. Non-U.S. investors also may be subject to U.S. estate tax.

Income received by the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund from certain equity
interests in mortgage pooling vehicles is treated as "excess inclusion income."
The Portfolio or Underlying Fund may derive such income either as a result of
its direct investment in such interests or, indirectly, through its investment
in REITs that hold such interests or otherwise qualify as taxable mortgage
pools. In general, this income is required to be reported to Portfolio
shareholders that are not disqualified organizations (as defined below) in
proportion to dividends paid with the same consequences as if the shareholders
directly received the excess inclusion income. Excess inclusion income: (i) may
not be offset with net operating losses; (ii) represents unrelated business
taxable income (UBTI) in the hands of a tax-exempt shareholder that is not a
disqualified organization; and (iii) is subject to withholding tax, without
regard to otherwise applicable exemptions or rate reductions, to the extent such
income is allocable to a shareholder who is not a U.S. person. The Portfolio
must pay the tax on its excess inclusion income that is allocable to
"disqualified organizations," which generally are certain cooperatives,
governmental entities and tax-exempt organizations that are not subject to tax
on UBTI. To the extent that Portfolio shares owned by a disqualified
organization are held in record name by a broker/dealer or other nominee, the
Portfolio must inform the broker/dealer or other nominee of the excess inclusion
income allocable to them and the broker/dealer or other nominee must pay the tax
on the portion of the Portfolio's excess inclusion income allocable to them on
behalf of the disqualified organizations.

This discussion of "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and Taxes" is
not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Prospective investors should
consult the SAI. Because everyone's tax situation is unique, you should also
consult your tax professional about federal, state, local or foreign tax
consequences before making an investment in the Portfolio.

PURCHASE OF SHARES

Cash Purchases

Investors may purchase shares of the Portfolio by first contacting the
Advisor at (310) 395-8005 to notify the Advisor of the proposed investment. The
Portfolio generally is available for investment only by institutional clients,
clients of registered investment advisors, clients of financial institutions,
and a limited number of certain other investors, as approved from time to time
by the Advisor ("Eligible Investors"). Eligible Investors include employees,
former employees, shareholders, and directors of the Advisor and the Fund, and
friends and family members of such persons. All investments are subject to
approval by the Advisor, and all investors must complete and submit the
necessary account registration forms in good order. The Fund reserves the right
to reject any initial or additional investment and to suspend the offering of
shares of the Portfolio.

"Good order" with respect to the purchases of shares means that (1) a fully
completed and properly signed Account Registration Form and any additional
supporting legal documentation required by the Advisor have been received in
legible form, and (2) the Advisor has been notified of the purchase by telephone
and, if the Advisor so requests, also in writing, no later than the close of
regular trading on the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) on the day of the purchase.
If an order to purchase shares must be cancelled due to nonpayment, the
purchaser will be responsible for any loss incurred by the Fund arising out of
such cancellation. To recover any such loss, the Fund reserves the right to
redeem shares owned by any purchaser whose order is cancelled, and such
purchaser may be prohibited or restricted in the manner of placing further
orders.

Investors having an account with a bank that is a member or a correspondent
of a member of the Federal Reserve System may purchase shares by first calling
the Advisor at (310) 395-8005 to notify the Advisor of the proposed investment,
then requesting the bank to transmit immediately available funds (federal funds)
by wire to PNC Bank, N.A. for the account of DFA Investment Dimensions Group
Inc. (DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio ). Additional investments also
may be made through the wire procedure by first notifying the Advisor. Investors
who wish to purchase shares of the Portfolio by check should send their check to
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.(DFA Global Real Estate Securities
Portfolio), c/o PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 8916, Wilmington, Delaware 19899-8916.

Payment of the total amount due should be made in U.S. dollars. However,
subject to approval by the Advisor, payment may be made in any freely
convertible currency and the necessary foreign exchange transactions will be
arranged on behalf of, and at the expense of, the applicant. Applicants settling
in any currency other than U.S. dollars are advised that a delay in processing a
purchase or redemption may occur to allow for currency conversion.

Shares also may be purchased and sold by individuals through securities
firms that may charge a service fee or commission for such transactions. No such
fee or commission is charged on shares that are purchased or redeemed directly
from the Fund. Investors who are clients of investment advisory organizations
may also be subject to investment advisory fees under their own arrangements
with such organizations.

In-Kind Purchases

If accepted by the Fund, shares of the Portfolio may be purchased in
exchange for securities that are eligible for acquisition by the Portfolio or
otherwise represented in its portfolio as described in this Prospectus or in
exchange for local currencies in which such securities of the Portfolio are
denominated. Securities and local currencies accepted by the Fund for exchange
and Portfolio shares to be issued in the exchange will be valued as set forth
under "VALUATION OF SHARES" at the time of the next determination of net asset
value after such acceptance. All dividends, interests, subscription, or other
rights pertaining to such securities shall become the property of the Portfolio
and must be delivered to the Fund by the investor upon receipt from the issuer.
Investors who desire to purchase shares of the Portfolio with local currencies
should first contact the Advisor for wire instructions.

The Fund will not accept securities in exchange for shares of the Portfolio
unless: (1) such securities are, at the time of the exchange, eligible to be
included, or otherwise represented, in the Portfolio and current market
quotations are readily available for such securities; (2) the investor
represents and agrees that all securities offered to be exchanged are not
subject to any restrictions upon their sale by the Portfolio under the
Securities Act of 1933 or under the laws of the country in which the principal
market for such securities exists, or otherwise; and (3) at the discretion of
the Fund, the value of any such security (except U.S. government securities)
being exchanged, together with other securities of the same issuer owned by the
Portfolio, may not exceed 5% of the net assets of the Portfolio immediately
after the transaction. The Fund will accept such securities for investment and
not for resale.

A gain or loss for federal income tax purposes will generally be realized
by investors who are subject to federal taxation upon the exchange depending
upon the cost of the securities or local currency exchanged. Investors
interested in such exchanges should contact the Advisor. Purchases of shares
will be made in full and fractional shares calculated to three decimal places.
In the interest of economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be
issued.

POLICY REGARDING EXCESSIVE OR SHORT-TERM TRADING

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors and is not intended for
investors that engage in excessive short-term trading activity that may be
harmful to the Portfolio, including but not limited to market timing. Short-term
or excessive trading into and out of the Portfolio can disrupt portfolio
management strategies, harm performance, and increase Portfolio expenses for all
shareholders, including long-term shareholders who do not generate these costs.

In addition, the nature of the Portfolio's holdings may present
opportunities for a shareholder to engage in a short-term trading strategy that
exploits possible delays between changes in the price of the Portfolio's
holdings and the reflection of those changes in the Portfolio's net asset value
(called "arbitrage market timing"). Such delays may occur because the Portfolio
(or an Underlying Fund in which it invests) has significant investments in
foreign securities where, due to time zone differences, the values of those
securities are established some time before the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value. In such circumstances, the available market prices for such foreign
securities may not accurately reflect the latest indications of value at the
time the Portfolio calculates its net asset value. There is a possibility that
arbitrage market timing may dilute the value of the Portfolio's shares if
redeeming shareholders receive proceeds (and purchasing shareholders receive
shares) based upon a net asset value that does not reflect appropriate fair
value prices.

The Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Board") has adopted a policy (the
"Trading Policy") and the Advisor and DFA Securities Inc. (collectively,
"Dimensional") and their agents have implemented the following procedures, which
are designed to discourage and prevent market timing or excessive short-term
trading in the Portfolio: (i) trade activity monitoring and purchase blocking
procedures, and (ii) use of fair value pricing.

The Fund, Dimensional and their agents monitor trades and flows of money in
and out of the Portfolio from time to time in an effort to detect excessive
short-term trading activities, and for consistent enforcement of the Trading
Policy. The Fund reserves the right to take the actions necessary to stop
excessive or disruptive trading activities, including refusing or canceling
purchase or exchange orders for any reason, without prior notice, particularly
purchase or exchange orders that the Fund believes are made on behalf of market
timers. The Fund, Dimensional and their agents reserve the right to restrict,
refuse or cancel any purchase or exchange request made by an investor
indefinitely if the Fund or Dimensional believes that any combination of trading
activity in the accounts is potentially disruptive to the Portfolio. In making
such judgments, the Fund and Dimensional seek to act in a manner that is
consistent with the interests of shareholders. For purposes of applying these
procedures, Dimensional may consider an investor's trading history in the
Portfolio, and accounts under common ownership, influence or control.

In addition to the Fund's general ability to restrict potentially
disruptive trading activity as described above, the Fund also has adopted
purchase blocking procedures. Under the Fund's purchase blocking procedures,
where an investor has engaged in any two purchases and two redemptions
(including redemptions that are part of an exchange transaction) in the
Portfolio in any rolling 30 calendar day monitoring period (i.e., two "round
trips"), the Fund and Dimensional intend to block the investor from making any
additional purchases in the Portfolio for 90 calendar days (a "purchase block").
If implemented, a purchase block will begin at some point after the transaction
that caused the investor to have engaged in the prohibited two round-trips is
detected by the Fund, Dimensional, or their agents. The Fund and Dimensional are
permitted to implement a longer purchase block, or permanently bar future
purchases by an investor, if they determine that it is appropriate.

Under the Fund's purchase blocking procedures, the following purchases and
redemptions will not trigger a purchase block: (i) purchases and redemptions of
shares having a value in each transaction of less than $5,000; (ii) purchases
and redemptions by U.S. registered investment companies that operate as funds of
funds pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act or an SEC exemptive order,
and non-U.S. investment companies that operate as funds of funds (subject to
monitoring by Dimensional); (iii) purchases and redemptions by a feeder
portfolio of a master fund's shares; (iv) systematic or automated transactions
where the shareholder, financial advisor or investment fiduciary does not
exercise direct control over the investment decision; (v) retirement plan
contributions, loans, loan repayments and distributions (including hardship
withdrawals) identified as such in the retirement plan recordkeeper's system;
(vi) purchase transactions involving transfers of assets, rollovers, Roth IRA
conversions and IRA recharacterizations; (vii) purchases of shares with
Portfolio dividends or capital gain distributions; (viii) transfers and
reregistrations of shares within the Portfolio; and (ix) transactions by 529
Plans. Notwithstanding the Fund's purchase blocking procedures, all transactions
in Portfolio shares are subject to the right of the Fund and Dimensional to
restrict potentially disruptive trading activity (including purchases and
redemptions described above that will not be subject to the purchase blocking
procedures).

The Fund, Dimensional or their designees have the ability, pursuant to Rule
22c-2 under the 1940 Act, to request information from financial intermediaries,
such as 401(k) plan administrators, trust companies and broker-dealers
(together, "Intermediaries"), concerning trades placed in omnibus and other
multi-investor accounts (together, "Omnibus Accounts"), in order to attempt to
monitor trades that are placed by the underlying shareholders of these Omnibus
Accounts. The Fund, Dimensional and their designees will use the information
obtained from the Intermediaries to monitor trading in the Fund and to attempt
to identify shareholders in Omnibus Accounts engaged in trading that is
inconsistent with the Trading Policy or otherwise not in the best interests of
the Fund. The Fund, Dimensional or their designees, when they detect trading
patterns in shares of the Portfolio (or other portfolios of the Fund) that may
constitute short-term or excessive trading, will provide written instructions to
the Intermediary to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of
shares of the Portfolio (and other portfolios of the Fund) by a shareholder that
has been identified as having engaged in excessive or short-term transactions in
the Portfolio's shares (directly or indirectly through the Intermediary's
account) that violate the Trading Policy.

The ability of the Fund and Dimensional to impose these limitations,
including the purchase blocking procedures, on investors investing through
Intermediaries is dependent on the receipt of information necessary to identify
transactions by the underlying investors and the Intermediary's cooperation in
implementing the Trading Policy. Investors seeking to engage in excessive
short-term trading practices may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid
detection, and despite the efforts of the Fund and Dimensional to prevent
excessive short-term trading, there is no assurance that the Fund, Dimensional
or their agents will be able to identify those shareholders or curtail their
trading practices. The ability of the Fund, Dimensional and their agents to
detect and limit excessive short-term trading also may be restricted by
operational systems and technological limitations.

The purchase blocking procedures of the Trading Policy may not apply to
redemptions by shareholders whose shares are held on the books of Intermediaries
if the Intermediaries have not adopted procedures to implement this Policy. The
Fund and Dimensional will work with Intermediaries to develop such policies to
institute the purchase blocking procedures or other procedures that the Fund and
Dimensional determine are reasonably designed to achieve the objective of this
Trading Policy. At the time the Intermediaries adopt these procedures,
shareholders whose accounts are on the books of such Intermediaries will be
subject to the Trading Policy's purchase blocking procedures or another frequent
trading policy that achieves the objective of the purchase blocking procedures.
Investors that invest in the Portfolio through an Intermediary should contact
the Intermediary for information concerning the policies and procedures that
apply to the investor.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the ability of the Fund and Dimensional
to apply the purchase blocking procedures on purchases by all investors and the
ability of the Fund and Dimensional to monitor trades through Omnibus Accounts
maintained by Intermediaries is severely limited due to systems limitations of
both the Fund's service providers and the Intermediaries. The Fund expects that
the application of the Trading Policy as described above, including the purchase
blocking procedures (subject to the limitations described above), will be able
to be implemented on or after compliance with Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act is
required of Intermediaries.

In addition, the purchase blocking procedures will not apply to a
redemption transaction in which the Portfolio distributes portfolio securities
to a shareholder in-kind, where the redemption will not disrupt the efficient
portfolio management of the Portfolio and the redemption is consistent with the
interests of the remaining shareholders of the Portfolio.

In addition to monitoring trade activity, the Board has adopted fair value
pricing procedures that govern the pricing of the securities of the Portfolio.
These procedures are designed to help ensure that the prices at which Portfolio
shares are purchased and redeemed are fair, and do not result in dilution of
shareholder interests or other harm to shareholders. See the discussion under
"VALUATION OF SHARES--Net Asset Value" for additional details regarding fair
value pricing of the Portfolio's securities.

Although the procedures are designed to discourage excessive short-term
trading, none of the procedures individually nor all of the procedures taken
together can completely eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term
trading activity in the Portfolio may occur.

VALUATION OF SHARES

Net Asset Value

The net asset value per share of the Portfolio is calculated after the
close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) by dividing the total value of the
Portfolio's investments and other assets, less any liabilities, by the total
outstanding shares of the stock of the Portfolio. The Portfolio generally
calculates its net asset value per share and accepts purchase and redemption
orders on days that the NYSE is open for trading. Note: The time at which
transactions and shares are priced may be changed in case of an emergency or if
the NYSE closes at a time other than 1:00 p.m. PT. The Portfolio will invest
shares of the Underlying Funds. The value of each Underlying Fund will be its
net asset value at the time the Portfolio's shares are priced. Each Underlying
Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value for its
portfolio securities. The Underlying Funds value securities in the same manner
as described for the Portfolio below.

The value of shares of the Portfolio will fluctuate in relation to its
investment experience. Securities held by the Portfolio will be valued in
accordance with applicable laws and procedures adopted by the Board, and
generally, as described below.

Securities held by the Portfolio (including over-the-counter securities)
are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the
Portfolio that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing
Price ("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sales price or NOCP of the day, the
Portfolio values the securities at the mean between the most recent quoted bid
and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the
exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by
open-end investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values
or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the
close of the NYSE.

The value of the securities and other assets of the Portfolio for which no
market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or
for which market quotations have become unreliable, are determined in good faith
at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of the Fund.
Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on
the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of the Investment
Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value is calculated. When
fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may
differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their
primary markets or exchanges.

The Portfolio will also fair value price in the circumstances described
below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at
various times before the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese
securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock
Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours before to the close
of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of
the Portfolio is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of
the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Portfolio prices its
shares at the close of the NYSE, the Portfolio will fair value its foreign
investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign
investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value
prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets'
perceptions and trading activities on the Portfolio's foreign investments since
the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their
primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board
of Directors of the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or
other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange
or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be
unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing. Consequently, fair valuation of
portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the
Portfolio utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that
data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign
investments). The fair value prices of portfolio securities generally will be
used when it is determined that the use of such prices will have a material
impact on the net asset value of the Portfolio. When the Portfolio uses fair
value pricing, the values assigned to the Portfolio's foreign investments may
not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary
markets or exchanges. The Board of Directors' of the Fund monitors the operation
of the method used to fair value price the Portfolio's foreign investments.

Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than
valuing securities that have readily available market quotations. There can be
no assurance that the Portfolio could obtain the fair value assigned to a
security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the
Portfolio determines its net asset value per share. As a result, the sale or
redemption by the Portfolio of its shares at net asset value, at a time when a
holding or holdings are valued at fair value, may have the effect of diluting or
increasing the economic interest of existing shareholders.

The net asset value per share of the Portfolio is expressed in U.S. dollars
by translating the net assets of the Portfolio using the mean of the most recent
bid and asked prices for the dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. Since the Portfolio owns securities that are primarily listed in
foreign exchanges that may trade on days when the Portfolio does not price its
shares, the net asset value of the Portfolio may change on days when
shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.

Certain of the securities holdings of the Portfolio in emerging markets may
be subject to tax, investment, and currency repatriation regulations of the
emerging market country that could have a material effect on the values of the
securities. For example, the Portfolio might be subject to different levels of
taxation on current income and realized gains depending upon the holding period
of the securities. In general, a longer holding period (e.g., 5 years) may
result in the imposition of lower tax rates than a shorter holding period (e.g.,
1 year). The Portfolio may also be subject to certain contractual arrangements
with investment authorities in an Approved Market that require the Portfolio to
maintain minimum holding periods or to limit the extent of repatriation of
income and realized gains.

Futures contracts are valued using the settlement price established each
day on the exchange on which they are traded. The value of such futures
contracts held by the Portfolio is determined each day as of such close.

Public Offering Price

Provided that the transfer agent has received the investor's Account
Registration Form in good order and the custodian has received the investor's
payment, shares of the Portfolio will be priced at the public offering price,
which is the net asset value of the shares next determined after receipt of the
investor's funds by the custodian. The transfer agent or the Fund may appoint,
from time to time, sub-transfer agents or various financial intermediaries
("Intermediaries") for the receipt of purchase orders, redemption orders, and
funds from certain investors. Intermediaries, in turn, are authorized to
designate other financial intermediaries ("Sub-designees") to receive purchase
and redemption orders for the Portfolio's shares from investors. With respect to
such investors, the shares of the Portfolio will be priced at the public
offering price calculated after receipt of the purchase order by the
Intermediary or Sub-designee, as applicable, that is authorized to receive
purchase orders. If the investor buys shares through an Intermediary or
Sub-designee, the purchase price will be the public offering price next
calculated after the Intermediary or Sub-designee, as applicable, receives the
order, rather than on the day the custodian receives the investor's payment
(provided that the Intermediary or Sub-designee, as applicable, has received the
investor's purchase order in good order, and the investor has complied with the
Intermediary's or Sub-designee's payment procedures). No reimbursement fee or
sales charge is imposed on purchases.

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

Investors may exchange shares of the Portfolio for shares of another
portfolio by first contacting the Advisor at (310) 395-8005 to notify the
Advisor of the proposed exchange and then completing a letter of instruction and
mailing it to: DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. as follows:

Attn: Client Operations
1299 Ocean Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90401

The minimum amount for an exchange is $100,000. Contact the Advisor for
information regarding the portfolios available for exchanges and to request a
copy of the prospective of such portfolios. There is no fee imposed on an
exchange. However, the Fund reserves the right to impose an administrative fee
in order to cover the costs incurred in processing an exchange. Any such fee
will be disclosed in the Prospectus. An exchange is treated as a redemption and
a purchase. Therefore, an investor could realize a taxable gain or loss on the
transaction. The Fund reserves the right to revise or terminate the exchange
privilege, limit the amount of or reject any exchange, or waive the minimum
amount requirement as deemed necessary, at any time.

Investors in the Portfolio also may exchange all or part of their Portfolio
shares into certain portfolios of Dimensional Investment Group Inc., subject to
the minimum purchase requirement set forth in the applicable portfolio's
prospectus. Investors may contact the Advisor at the above-listed phone number
for more information on such exchanges and to request a copy of the prospectuses
of portfolios of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.

The exchange privilege is not intended to afford shareholders a way to
speculate on short-term movements in the markets. Accordingly, in order to
prevent excessive use of the exchange privilege that may potentially disrupt the
management of the Portfolio or otherwise adversely affect the Fund, the exchange
privilege may be terminated, and any proposed exchange is subject to the
approval of the Advisor. Such approval will depend on: (i) the size of the
proposed exchange; (ii) the prior number of exchanges by that shareholder; (iii)
the nature of the underlying securities and the cash position of the Portfolios
involved in the proposed exchange; (iv) the transaction costs involved in
processing the exchange; and (v) the total number of redemptions by exchange
already made out of the Portfolio. Excessive use of the exchange privilege is
defined as any pattern of exchanges among portfolios by an investor that
evidences market timing.

The redemption and purchase prices of shares redeemed and purchased by
exchange, respectively, are the net asset values next determined after the
Advisor has received a letter of instruction in good order. "Good order" means a
completed letter of instruction specifying the dollar amount to be exchanged,
signed by all registered owners of the shares; and if the Fund does not have on
file the authorized signatures for the account, proof of authority and a
guarantee of the signature of each registered owner by an "eligible guarantor
institution." Such institutions generally include national or state banks,
savings associations, savings and loan associations, trust companies, savings
banks, credit unions, and members of a recognized stock exchange. Exchanges will
be accepted only if stock certificates have not been issued and the shares of
the Portfolio being acquired are registered in the investor's state of
residence.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Redemption Procedure

Investors who desire to redeem shares of the Portfolio must first contact
the Advisor at (310) 395-8005. The Portfolio will redeem shares at the net asset
value of such shares next determined, after receipt of a written request for
redemption in good order, by the transfer agent (or by an Intermediary or a
Sub-designee, if applicable), or (2) if stock certificates have been issued,
after receipt of the stock certificates in good order at the office of the
transfer agent. "Good order" means that the request to redeem shares must
include all necessary documentation, to be received in writing by the Advisor no
later than the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT),
including but not limited to: a letter of instruction or a stock assignment
specifying the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, signed by all
registered owners (or authorized representatives thereof) of the shares; and if
the Fund does not have on file the authorized signatures for the account, proof
of authority and a guarantee of the signature of each registered owner by an
eligible guarantor institution; and any other required supporting legal
documents. A signature guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust
company, broker, dealer, clearing agency or savings association who are
participants in a medallion program recognized by the Securities Transfer
Association. The three recognized medallion programs are Securities Transfer
Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP), and
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Signature
guarantees that are not a part of these programs will not be accepted.

Shareholders redeeming shares who have authorized redemption payment by
wire in writing, may request that redemption proceeds be paid in federal funds
wired to the bank they have designated in writing. The Fund reserves the right
to send redemption proceeds by check in its discretion; a shareholder may
request overnight delivery of such check at the shareholder's own expense. If
the proceeds are wired to the shareholder's account at a bank that is not a
member of the Federal Reserve System, there could be a delay in crediting the
funds to the shareholder's bank account. The Fund reserves the right at any time
to suspend or terminate the redemption by wire procedure after prior
notification to shareholders. No fee is charged for redemptions. The redemption
of all shares in an account will result in the account being closed. A new
Account Registration Form will be required for future investments. See "PURCHASE
OF SHARES." In the interests of economy and convenience, certificates for shares
are not issued.

Although the redemption payments will ordinarily be made within seven days
after receipt, payment to investors redeeming shares that were purchased by
check will not be made until the Fund can verify that the payments for the
purchase have been, or will be, collected, which may take up to ten days.
Investors may avoid this delay by submitting a certified check along with the
purchase order.

Redemption of Small Accounts

With respect to the Portfolio, the Fund reserves the right to redeem a
shareholder's account if the value of the shares in the Portfolio is $500 or
less because of redemptions by the shareholder. Before the Fund involuntarily
redeems shares from such an account and sends the proceeds to the stockholder,
the Fund will give written notice of the redemption to the stockholder at least
sixty days before the redemption date. The stockholder will then have sixty days
from the date of the notice to make an additional investment in the Fund in
order to bring the value of the shares in the account for a specific portfolio
to more than $500 and avoid such involuntary redemption. The redemption price to
be paid to a stockholder for shares redeemed by the Fund under this right will
be the aggregate net asset value of the shares in the account at the close of
business on the redemption date.

In-Kind Redemptions

When in the best interests of the Portfolio, it may make a redemption
payment, in whole or in part, by a distribution of portfolio securities in lieu
of cash. Such distributions will be made in accordance with the federal
securities laws and regulations governing mutual funds in accordance with Rule
18f-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Portfolio also reserves the
right to redeem its shares in the currencies in which its investments are
denominated. Investors may incur brokerage charges and other transaction costs
in selling such securities and converting such currencies to dollars. Also, the
value of foreign securities or currencies may be affected by currency exchange
fluctuations.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Portfolio generally will disclose up to its 25 largest portfolio
holdings (other than cash and cash equivalents) and the percentages that each of
these largest portfolio holdings represent of the total assets of the Portfolio,
as of the most recent month-end, online at the Advisor's public website,
http://www.dimensional.com, within 20 days after the end of each month. The
Portfolio also generally will disclose its complete portfolio holdings, as of
month-end, online at the Advisor's public website, three months following the
month-end. Please consult the SAI for a description of the other policies and
procedures that govern disclosure of the portfolio holdings by the Portfolio.

DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENTS

To eliminate duplicate mailings and reduce expenses, the Portfolio may
deliver a single copy of certain shareholder documents, such as this Prospectus
and annual and semi-annual reports, to related shareholders at the same address,
even if accounts are registered in different names. This practice is known as
"householding." The Portfolio will not household personal information documents,
such as account statements. If you do not want the mailings of these documents
to be combined with those of other members of your household, please call us
collect at (310) 395-8005. We will begin sending individual copies of the
shareholder documents to you within 30 days of receiving your request.

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS AND POLICIES

The following information supplements the information set forth in the
Prospectus of the Portfolio. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this SAI
have the meaning assigned to them in the Prospectus.

The Portfolio described in this SAI is a "fund of funds" that seeks to
achieve its investment objective by primarily allocating its assets in the DFA
Real Estate Securities Portfolio and the DFA International Real Estate
Securities Portfolio (each an "Underlying Fund" and together, the "Underlying
Funds"), which are two other funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the
"Advisor" or "Dimensional"). In addition to investing in the Underlying Funds,
the Portfolio may also invest directly in securities and other investments.
Dimensional serves as the investment advisor to the Portfolio. The Advisor is
organized as a Delaware limited partnership and is controlled and operated by
its general partner, Dimensional Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation. Prior to
November 3, 2006, the Advisor was named Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. and was
organized as a Delaware corporation.

The Portfolio is diversified under the federal securities laws and
regulations.

Because the structure of the Portfolio is based on the relative market
capitalizations of eligible holdings, it is possible that the Portfolio might
include at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities of one or more issuers
(other than an Underlying Fund). In such circumstances, the Portfolio and the
issuer would be deemed affiliated persons and certain requirements under the
federal securities laws and regulations regulating dealings between mutual funds
and their affiliates might become applicable. However, based on the Portfolio's
present intention to invest primarily in the Underlying Funds, management does
not anticipate that the Portfolio will include as much as 5% of the voting
securities of any issuer (other than an Underlying Fund).

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The following discussion relates to the policies of the Portfolio and
Underlying Funds with respect to brokerage commissions. The Portfolio and
Underlying Funds will incur brokerage costs when engaging in portfolio
transactions for securities. However, the Portfolio will not incur any brokerage
costs in connection with its purchase or redemption of shares of the Underlying
Funds.

Portfolio transactions will be placed with a view to receiving the best
price and execution. The Portfolio and Underlying Funds will seek to acquire and
dispose of securities in a manner which would cause as little fluctuation in the
market prices of stocks being purchased or sold as possible in light of the size
of the transactions being effected, and brokers will be selected with this goal
in view. The Advisor monitors the performance of brokers which effect
transactions for the Portfolio and Underlying Funds to determine the effect that
their trading has on the market prices of the securities in which the Portfolio
and Underlying Funds invest. The Advisor also checks the rate of commission
being paid by the Portfolio and Underlying Funds to their brokers to ascertain
that the rates are competitive with those charged by other brokers for similar
services.

Transactions also may be placed with brokers who provide the Advisor or the
sub-advisors with investment research, such as reports concerning individual
issuers, industries and general economic and financial trends and other research
services. The investment advisory agreements of the Portfolio and Underlying
Funds permit the Advisor knowingly to pay commissions on these transactions that
are greater than another broker, dealer or exchange member might charge if the
Advisor, in good faith, determines that the commissions paid are reasonable in
relation to the research or brokerage services provided by the broker or dealer
when viewed in terms of either a particular transaction or the Advisor's overall
responsibilities to the accounts under its management. Research services
furnished by brokers through whom securities transactions are effected may be
used by the Advisor in servicing all of its accounts and not all such services
may be used by the Advisor with respect to the Portfolio or Underlying Funds.

Subject to obtaining best price and execution, transactions may be placed
with brokers that have assisted in the sale of Portfolio or Underlying Fund
shares. The Advisor, however, pursuant to policies and procedures approved by
the Board of Directors of the Fund, is prohibited from selecting brokers and
dealers to effect a portfolio securities transactions for a Portfolio or
Underlying Fund based (in whole or in part) on a broker's or dealer's promotion
or sale of shares issued by the Portfolio or Underlying Fund or any other
registered investment companies.

The over-the-counter market (the "OTC") companies eligible for purchase by
the Portfolio and Underlying Funds may be thinly traded securities. Therefore,
the Advisor believes it needs maximum flexibility to effect OTC trades on a best
execution basis. To that end, the Advisor places buy and sell orders for the
Portfolio and Underlying Funds with market makers, third market brokers,
electronic communications networks ("ECNs") and with brokers on an agency basis.
Third market brokers enable the Advisor to trade with other institutional
holders directly on a net basis. This allows the Advisor to sometimes trade
larger blocks than would be possible by going through a single market maker.

ECNs, such as Instinet, are electronic information and communication
networks whose subscribers include most market makers and many institutions.
Such ECNs charge a commission for each trade executed on their systems. For
example, on any given trade, the Portfolio or Underlying Fund, by trading
through an ECN, could pay a spread to a dealer on the other side of the trade
plus a commission to the ECN. However, placing a buy (or sell) order on an ECN
communicates to many (potentially all) market makers and institutions at once.
This can create a more complete picture of the market and thus increase the
likelihood that the Portfolio and Underlying Funds can effect transactions at
the best available prices.

Because the Portfolio had not commenced investment operations prior to the
date of this SAI, the Portfolio has not incurred any brokerage commissions that
are required to be reported.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Portfolio has adopted certain limitations that may not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio. A "majority" is defined as the lesser of: (1) at least 67% of the
voting securities of the Portfolio present at a meeting, if the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio are present or
represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities
of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio will not:

(1) purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments and provided that this restriction
does not prevent the Portfolio from investing in issuers that invest,
deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests
therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or
interests therein;

(2) purchase or sell physical commodities, unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments and provided that this
restriction does not prevent the Portfolio from engaging in
transactions involving futures contracts and options thereon or
investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities;

(3) make loans to other persons, except: (a) through the lending of its
portfolio securities; (b) through the purchase of debt securities,
loan participations and/or engaging in direct corporate loans for
investment purposes in accordance with its investment objective and
policies; and (c) to the extent the entry into a repurchase agreement
is deemed to be a loan;

(4) purchase the securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities
of other investment companies) if immediately after such investment:
(a) more than 5% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets would be
invested in such issuer, or (b) more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of such issuer would be owned by the Portfolio,
except that up to 25% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets may
be invested without regard to such 5% and 10% limitations;

(5) borrow money, except that: (a) it may borrow from banks (as defined in
the 1940 Act) or other financial institutions in amounts up to 33 1/3%
of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), and (b) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets for temporary purposes;

(6) issue senior securities (as such term is defined in Section 18(f) of
the 1940 Act), except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act;

(7) engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by others;
and

(8) concentrate (invest more than 25% of its net assets) in securities of
issuers in a particular industry (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or securities
of other investment companies), except that the Portfolio shall invest
more than 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in the
real estate industry.

Although not a fundamental policy subject to shareholder approval, the
Portfolio does not intend to invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities.

The investment limitations described in (4) and (8) above do not prohibit
the Portfolio from investing all or substantially all of its assets in the
shares of other registered, open-end investment companies, such as the
Underlying Funds.

With respect to the investment limitation described in 5(a) above, the
Portfolio will maintain asset coverage of at least 300% (as described in the
1940 Act), inclusive of any amounts borrowed. With respect to any borrowings by
the Portfolio, and with respect to the investment limitation described in 5(b)
above, the Portfolio will segregate assets to cover the amount borrowed by the
Portfolio. The Portfolio currently does not intend to borrow money for
investment purposes.

Notwithstanding any of the above investment restrictions, the Portfolio may
establish subsidiaries or other similar vehicles for the purpose of conducting
its investment operations in emerging markets, if such subsidiaries or vehicles
are required by local laws or regulations governing foreign investors, such as
the Portfolio, or whose use is otherwise considered by the Portfolio to be
advisable. The Portfolio would "look through" any such vehicle to determine
compliance with its investment restrictions.

Subject to future regulatory guidance, for purposes of those investment
limitations identified above that are based on total assets, "total assets"
refers to the assets that the Portfolio owns, and does not include assets that
the Portfolio does not own but over which it has effective control. For example,
when applying a percentage investment limitation that is based on total assets,
the Portfolio will exclude from its total assets those assets that represent
collateral received by the Portfolio for its securities lending transactions.

Unless otherwise indicated, all limitations applicable to the Portfolio's
investments apply only at the time that a transaction is undertaken. Any
subsequent change in a rating assigned by any rating service to a security or
change in the percentage of the Portfolio's assets invested in certain
securities or other instruments resulting from market fluctuations or other
changes in the Portfolio's total assets will not require the Portfolio to
dispose of an investment until the Advisor determines that it is practicable to
sell or closeout the investment without undue market or tax consequences. In the
event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, the
Advisor will determine which rating the Advisor believes best reflects the
security's quality and risk at that time, which may be the higher of the several
assigned ratings.

The investment limitations set forth above only relate to the Portfolio.
The Underlying Funds may have investment limitations that are more or less
restrictive than those of the Portfolio. The investment limitations of the
Underlying Funds are set forth in their respective statements of additional
information.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Underlying Funds may enter into futures contracts and options on
futures contracts. Each Underlying Fund may enter into futures contracts and
options on future contracts to gain market exposure on the Underlying Fund's
uninvested cash pending investments in securities and to maintain liquidity to
pay redemptions.

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
another party of a specified amount of defined securities at a specified future
time and at a specified price. Futures contracts which are standardized as to
maturity date and underlying financial instrument are traded on national futures
exchanges. The Underlying Funds will be required to make a margin deposit in
cash or government securities with a futures commission merchant (an "FCM") to
initiate and maintain positions in futures contracts. Minimal initial margin
requirements are established by the futures exchange and FCMs may establish
margin requirements which are higher than the exchange requirements. After a
futures contract position is opened, the value of the contract is marked to
market daily. If the futures contract price changes to the extent that the
margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, payment of additional
"variation" margin to be held by the FCM will be required. Conversely, reduction
in the contract value may reduce the required margin resulting in a repayment of
excess margin to the custodial accounts of the Underlying Fund. Variation margin
payments are made to and from the futures broker for as long as the contract
remains open. The Underlying Funds expect to earn income on their margin
deposits. Each Underlying Fund intends to limit its futures-related investment
activity so that other than with respect to bona fide hedging activity (as
defined in Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") General Regulations
Section 1.3 (z)): (i) the aggregate initial margin and premiums paid to
establish commodity futures and commodity option contract positions (determined
at the time the most recent position was established) do not exceed 5% of the
liquidation value of an Underlying Fund's portfolio, after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered
into (provided that, in the case of an option that is in-the-money at the time
of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded in calculating such 5%
limitation) or (ii) the aggregate net "notional value" (i.e., the size of a
commodity futures or commodity option contract in contract units (taking into
account any multiplier specified in the contract), multiplied by the current
market price (for a futures contract) or strike price (for an option contract)
of each such unit) of all non-hedge commodity futures and commodity option
contracts that an Underlying Fund has entered into (determined at the time the
most recent position was established) does not exceed the liquidation value of
an Underlying Fund's portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and
unrealized losses on any such contracts that an Underlying Fund has entered
into.

Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange which
provides a secondary market. However, there can be no assurance that a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract at any specific
time. Therefore, it might not be possible to close a futures position and, in
the event of adverse price movements, the Underlying Fund would continue to be
required to make variation margin deposits. In such circumstances, if the
Underlying Fund has insufficient cash, it might have to sell portfolio
securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it might be
disadvantageous to do so. Management intends to minimize the possibility that it
will be unable to close out a futures contract by only entering into futures
which are traded on national futures exchanges and for which there appears to be
a liquid secondary market. Pursuant to published positions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("Commission") and interpretations of the staff of the
Commission, the Underlying Funds (or their custodians) are required to maintain
segregated accounts or to segregate assets through notations on the books of the
custodian, consisting of liquid assets (or, as permitted under applicable
interpretations, enter into offsetting positions) in connection with their
futures contract transactions in order to cover their obligations with respect
to such contracts. These requirements are designed to limit the amount of
leverage the Underlying Funds may use by entering into futures transactions.

CASH MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The Portfolio and each Underlying Fund engage in cash management practices
in order to earn income on uncommitted cash balances. Generally, cash is
uncommitted pending investment in other securities, payment of redemptions, or
in other circumstances where the Advisor believes liquidity is necessary or
desirable. For example, the Portfolio may make cash investments for temporary
defensive purposes during periods in which market, economic, or political
conditions warrant.

The Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may invest cash in short-term
repurchase agreements. In addition, the Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may
invest a portion of its assets, ordinarily not more than 20%, in money market
instruments, debt securities that at the time of purchase have an investment
grade rating by a rating agency or are deemed to be investment grade by the
Advisor, freely convertible currencies, shares of affiliated and unaffiliated
unregistered money market mutual funds, index futures contracts, and options
thereon. The Portfolio and DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio
may also each invest in shares of affiliated and unaffiliated registered money
market mutual funds. Investments in money market mutual funds may involve a
duplication of certain fees and expenses. The 20% guideline is not an absolute
limitation but the Portfolio and Underlying Funds do not expect to exceed this
guideline under normal circumstances.

EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS

The Portfolio and DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio also
may invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and similarly structured pooled
investments that provide exposure to equity markets, including the United
States, both within and outside the real estate industry, for the purposes of
gaining exposure to the equity markets, while maintaining liquidity. An ETF is
an investment company whose goal is to track or replicate a desired index, such
as a sector, market, or global segment. ETFs are passively managed, and traded
similarly to a publicly traded company. The risks and costs of investing in ETFs
are similar to those of investing in a publicly traded company. The goal of an
ETF is to correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees
and expenses, of its underlying index. The risk of not correlating to the index
is an additional risk to the investors of ETFs. When the Portfolio or DFA
International Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in an ETF, shareholders
of the Portfolio bear their proportionate share of the underlying ETF's fees and
expenses.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

The Portfolio and DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio may
each invest up to 5% of its assets in convertible debentures issued by non-U.S.
companies located in the countries in which it is permitted to invest.
Convertible debentures include corporate bonds and notes that may be converted
into or exchanged for common stock. These securities are generally convertible
either at a stated price or a stated rate (that is, for a specific number of
shares of common stock or other security). As with other fixed income
securities, the price of a convertible debenture, to some extent, varies
inversely with interest rates. While providing a fixed income stream (generally
higher in yield than the income derived from a common stock, but lower than that
afforded by a non-convertible debenture), a convertible debenture also affords
the investor an opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in
the capital appreciation of the common stock into which the debenture is
convertible. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines,
convertible debentures tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis and so may
not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common
stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the price
of a convertible debenture tends to rise as a reflection of the value of the
underlying common stock. To obtain such a higher yield, the Portfolio or
Underlying Fund may be required to pay for a convertible debenture an amount in
excess of the value of the underlying common stock. Common stock acquired by the
Portfolio or Underlying Fund upon conversion of a convertible debenture will
generally be held for as long as the Advisor anticipates such stock will provide
the Portfolio or Underlying Fund with opportunities that are consistent with the
Portfolio's investment objective and policies.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Directors

The Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for establishing the
Fund's policies and for overseeing the management of the Fund.

The Board of Directors has two standing committees, the Audit Committee and
the Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the "Performance
Committee"). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger
G. Ibbotson, and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a
disinterested Director. The Audit Committee for the Board oversees the Fund's
accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund's internal
controls, the Fund's financial statements and the independent audits thereof,
and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit
Committee for the Board recommends the appointment of the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund's

+ The term DFA Fund Complex refers to the four registered investment
companies for which the Advisor performs advisory or administrative
services and for which the individuals listed above serve as
directors/trustees on the Boards of Directors/Trustees of such companies.

* Under a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") adopted effective January
1, 2002, the disinterested Directors of the Fund may defer receipt of all
or a portion of the compensation for serving as members of the four Boards
of Directors/Trustees of the investment companies in the DFA Fund Complex
(the "DFA Funds"). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
the DFA Funds (the "Reference Funds"). The amounts ultimately received by
the disinterested Directors under the Plan will be directly linked to the
investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in
accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets,
liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to
retain the services of any disinterested Director or to pay any particular
level of compensation to the disinterested Director. The total amount of
deferred compensation accrued by the disinterested Directors from the DFA
Fund Complex who participated in the Plan during the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2007 is as follows: $_______ (Mr. Gould), $_______ (Mr.
Ibbotson); $_______ (Mr. Merton); and $_______ (Ms. Smith). A disinterested
Director's deferred compensation will be distributed at the earlier of: (a)
January in the year after the disinterested Director's resignation from the
Boards of Directors/Trustees of the DFA Funds, or death or disability, or
(b) five years following the first deferral, in such amounts as the
disinterested Director has specified. The obligations of the DFA Funds to
make payments under the Plan will be unsecured general obligations of the
DFA Funds, payable out of the general assets and property of the DFA Funds.

(1) Each officer holds office for an indefinite term at the pleasure of the
Board of Directors and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Because the Portfolio had not been offered prior to the date of this SAI,
Directors and officers as a group own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of
the Portfolio.

SERVICES TO THE PORTFOLIO

Administrative Services

PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), 301 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19809, serves as
the accounting services, dividend disbursing, and transfer agent for the
Portfolio and Underlying Funds. The services provided by PFPC are subject to
supervision by the executive officers and the Board of Directors of the Fund and
include day-to-day keeping and maintenance of certain records, calculation of
the offering price of the shares, preparation of reports, liaison with its
custodian, and transfer and dividend disbursing agency services. For the
administrative and accounting services provided by PFPC, each Underlying Fund
pays PFPC annual fees that are calculated daily and paid monthly according to a
fee schedule based on the aggregate average net assets of the Fund Complex,
which includes four registered investment companies and a group trust. The fee
schedule is set forth in the table below:

.0110% of the Fund Complex's first $50 billion of average net assets;
.0085% of the Fund Complex's next $25 billion of average net assets; and
.0075% of the Fund Complex's average net assets in excess of $75 billion.

The fees charged to each Underlying Fund under the fee schedule are
allocated to the Underlying Fund based on the Underlying Fund's pro rata portion
of the aggregate average net assets of the Fund Complex.

The Portfolio is subject to a monthly fee of $1,000. The Underlying Funds
are also subject to certain monthly base fees. The DFA Real Estate Securities
Portfolio is subject to a monthly base fee of $1,666 and the DFA International
Real Estate Securities Portfolio is subject to a monthly base fee of $2,038.

The Portfolio also pays separate fees to PFPC with respect to the services
PFPC provides as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent.

Custodian

Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, 10005, serves as the
global custodian for the Portfolio. The custodian maintains a separate account
or accounts for the Portfolio; receives, holds, and releases portfolio
securities on account of the Portfolio; makes receipts and disbursements of
money on behalf of the Portfolio; and collects and receives income and other
payments and distributions on account of the Portfolio's portfolio securities.

Distributor

The Fund's shares are distributed by DFA Securities Inc. ("DFAS"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor. DFAS is registered as a limited purpose
broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The principal business address of DFAS
is 1299 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, California 90401.

DFAS acts as an agent of the Fund by serving as the principal underwriter
of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement with the Fund, DFAS
uses its best efforts to seek or arrange for the sale of shares of the Fund,
which are continuously offered. No sales charges are paid by investors or the
Fund. No compensation is paid by the Fund to DFAS under the Distribution
Agreement.

Legal Counsel

Stradley, Ronon, Stevens & Young, LLP serves as legal counsel to the Fund.
Its address is 2600 One Commerce Square, Philadelphia, PA 19103-7098.

accounting firm to the Fund and audits the annual financial statements of the
Fund. PWC's address is Two Commerce Square, Suite 1700, 2001 Market Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103-7042.

ADVISORY FEES

David G. Booth and Rex A. Sinquefield, as directors and/or officers of the
Advisor and shareholders of the outstanding stock of the Advisor's general
partner, may be deemed controlling persons of the Advisor. For the services it
provides as investment advisor to the Portfolio, the Advisor is paid a monthly
fee calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the Portfolio. As of the
date of this SAI, the Portfolio had not yet commenced operations, so the
Portfolio has not paid any management fees.

The Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of the Portfolio's
management fee to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid
by the Portfolio to the Advisor directly and indirectly (the proportionate share
of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its investment in other
funds managed by the Advisor) to 0.55% of the Portfolio's average net assets on
an annualized basis. Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement
for the Portfolio, the Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the expenses of the Portfolio (including the
expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other funds managed by the
Advisor but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to
the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to 0.55%
of the Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense
Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio
are less than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the
right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the
Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Portfolio's Expense
Limitation Amount. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for
fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than
thirty-six months before the date of such reimbursement. The Fee Waiver and
Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect for an initial period until
April 1, 2009, and then shall continue in effect from year to year for one-year
periods thereafter unless terminated by the Advisor.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

In accordance with the team approach used to manage the Portfolios, the
portfolio managers and portfolio traders implement the policies and procedures
established by the Investment Committee. The portfolio managers and portfolio
traders also make daily investment decisions regarding the Portfolios including
running buy and sell programs based on the parameters established by the
Investment Committee. Stephen A. Clark and Karen E. Umland together coordinate
the efforts of all other portfolio managers with respect to the day-to-day
management of the Portfolio

Because the Portfolio had not commenced operations prior to the date of
this SAI, the portfolio managers do not own any shares of the Portfolio.

Description of Compensation Structure

Portfolio managers receive a base salary and bonus. Compensation of a
portfolio manager is determined at the discretion of the Advisor and is based on
a portfolio manager's experience, responsibilities, the perception of the
quality of his or her work efforts, and other subjective factors. The
compensation of portfolio managers is not directly based upon the performance of
the Portfolio or other accounts that the portfolio managers manage. The Advisor
reviews the compensation of each portfolio manager annually and may make
modifications in compensation as the Advisor's Compensation Committee deems
necessary to reflect changes in the market. Each portfolio manager's
compensation consists of the following:

o Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. The Advisor
considers the factors described above to determine each portfolio
manager's base salary.

o Semi-Annual Bonus. Each portfolio manager may receive a semi-annual
bonus. The amount of the bonus paid to each portfolio manager is based
upon the factors described above.

Portfolio managers may be awarded the right to purchase restricted shares
of stock of the Advisor's general partner as determined from time to time by the
Board of Directors of the Advisor or its delegees. Portfolio managers also
participate in benefit and retirement plans and other programs available
generally to all employees.

Other Managed Accounts

In addition to the Portfolio, each portfolio manager manages: (i) other
U.S. registered investment companies advised or sub-advised by the Advisor; (ii)
other pooled investment vehicles that are not U.S. registered mutual funds; and
(iii) other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The following
table sets forth information regarding the total accounts for which each
portfolio manager has the primary responsibility for coordinating the day-to-day
management responsibilities:

Name of Portfolio Manager Number of Accounts Managed and Total
Assets by Category As of November 30, 2007
---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stephen A. Clark o U.S. registered mutual funds with $___ million in total assets
under management.
o unregistered pooled investment vehicles with $___ million in total
assets under management.
o other accounts with $___ million in total assets under management.
---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karen E. Umland o U.S. registered mutual funds with $___ million in total assets
under management.
o unregistered pooled investment vehicles with $___ million in total
assets under management.
o other accounts with $___ million in total assets under
management.
---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager
has the primary day-to-day responsibilities with respect to more than one
portfolio and other accounts. Other accounts include registered mutual funds
(other than the Portfolio), other unregistered pooled investment vehicles, and
other accounts managed for organizations and individuals ("Accounts"). An
Account may have similar investment objectives to the Portfolio, or may
purchase, sell, or hold securities that are eligible to be purchased, sold, or
held by the Portfolio. Actual or apparent conflicts of interest include:

o Time Management. The management of multiple portfolios and/or Accounts
may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention
to the management of each portfolio and/or Account. The Advisor seeks
to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of
portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular
investment discipline. Most Accounts managed by a portfolio manager
are managed using the same investment models that are used in
connection with the management of the Portfolio.

o Investment Opportunities. It is possible that at times identical
securities will be held by more than one portfolio and/or Account.
However, positions in the same security may vary and the length of
time that any portfolio or Account may choose to hold its investment
in the same security may likewise vary. If a portfolio manager
identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for
more than one portfolio or Account, the Portfolio may not be able to
take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled
purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and Accounts.
To deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for
allocating portfolio transactions across multiple portfolios and
Accounts.

o Broker Selection. With respect to securities transactions for the
Portfolio, the Advisor determines which broker to use to execute each
order, consistent with the Advisor's duty to seek best execution of
the transaction. However, with respect to certain Accounts (such as
separate accounts), the Advisor may be limited by the client with
respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct
trades through a particular broker. In these cases, the Advisor or its
affiliates may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for the
Portfolio and another Account that may temporarily affect the market
price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to
the detriment of the Portfolio or the Account.

o Performance-Based Fees. For some Accounts, the Advisor may be
compensated based on the profitability of the Account, such as by a
performance-based management fee. These incentive compensation
structures may create a conflict of interest for the Advisor with
regard to Accounts where the Advisor is paid based on a percentage of
assets because the portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate
securities preferentially to the Accounts where the Advisor might
share in investment gains.

o Investment in an Account. A portfolio manager or his/her relatives may
invest in an Account that he or she manages and a conflict may arise
where he or she may therefore have an incentive to treat the Account
in which the portfolio manager or his/her relatives invest
preferentially as compared to the Portfolio or other Accounts for
which he or she has portfolio management responsibilities.

The Advisor and the Fund have adopted certain compliance procedures that
are reasonably designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is
no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which
a conflict arises.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Fund was incorporated under Maryland law on June 15, 1981. Until June
1983, the Fund was named DFA Small Company Fund Inc. The Portfolio described in
this SAI had not commenced investment operations prior to the date of this SAI.

CODES OF ETHICS

The Fund, the Advisor, and DFAS have adopted a revised Code of Ethics,
under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act, for certain access persons of the Portfolio.
The Code is designed to ensure that access persons act in the interest of the
Portfolio, and its shareholders, with respect to any personal trading of
securities. Under the Code, access persons are generally prohibited from
knowingly buying or selling securities (except for mutual funds, U.S. government
securities, and money market instruments) which are being purchased, sold, or
considered for purchase or sale by the Portfolio unless the access persons'
proposed purchases are approved in advance. The Code also contains certain
reporting requirements and personal securities trading clearance procedures.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

The shares of the Portfolio, when issued and paid for in accordance with
the Portfolio's Prospectus, will be fully paid and non-assessable shares. Each
share of common stock of the Portfolio represents an equal proportional interest
in the assets and liabilities of the Portfolio and has identical, non-cumulative
voting, dividend, redemption liquidation, and other rights and preferences.

With respect to matters that require shareholder approval, shareholders are
entitled to vote only with respect to matters that affect the interest of the
portfolio of shares that the shareholders hold, except as otherwise required by
applicable law. If liquidation of the Fund should occur, shareholders would be
entitled to receive, on a per class basis, the assets of the particular
portfolio whose shares they own, as well as a proportionate share of Fund assets
not attributable to any particular portfolio. Ordinarily, the Fund does not
intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders, except as required by the 1940
Act or other applicable law. The Fund's bylaws provide that special meetings of
shareholders shall be called at the written request of shareholders entitled to
cast not less than a majority of votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Such
meeting may be called to consider any matter, including the removal of one or
more directors. Shareholders will receive shareholder communications with
respect to such matters as required by the 1940 Act, including semi-annual and
annual financial statements of the Fund.

Shareholder inquiries may be made by writing or calling the Fund at the
address or telephone number appearing on the cover of this SAI. Only those
individuals whose signatures are on file for the account in question may receive
specific account information or make changes in the account registration.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

Because the Portfolio has not been offered prior to the date of this SAI,
no person beneficially owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio as of the date of this SAI.

PURCHASE OF SHARES

The following information supplements the information set forth in the
Prospectus under the caption "PURCHASE OF SHARES."

The Fund will accept purchase and redemption orders on each day that the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business, regardless of whether the
Federal Reserve System is closed. However, no purchases by wire may be made on
any day that the Federal Reserve System is closed. The Fund generally will be
closed on days that the NYSE is closed. The NYSE is scheduled to be open Monday
through Friday throughout the year except for days closed to recognize New
Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The Federal
Reserve System is closed on the same days as the NYSE, except that it is open on
Good Friday and closed on Columbus Day and Veterans' Day. Orders for redemptions
and purchases will not be processed if the Fund is closed.

The Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the
offering of shares of the Portfolio or reject purchase orders when, in the
judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interest of
the Fund or the Portfolio. Securities accepted in exchange for shares of the
Portfolio will be acquired for investment purposes and will be considered for
sale under the same circumstances as other securities in the Portfolio.

The Fund or its transfer agent may, from time to time, appoint a
sub-transfer agent, such as a broker, for the receipt of purchase and redemption
orders and funds from certain investors. With respect to purchases and
redemptions through a sub-transfer agent, the Fund will be deemed to have
received a purchase or redemption order when the sub-transfer agent receives the
order. Shares of a Portfolio will be priced at the public offering price next
calculated after receipt of the purchase or redemption order by the sub-transfer
agent.

Reimbursement fees may be charged prospectively from time to time based
upon the future experience of the Portfolio, which is currently sold at net
asset value. Any such charges will be described in the Prospectus.

REDEMPTION AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

The following information supplements the information set forth in the
Prospectus under the caption "REDEMPTION OF SHARES."

The Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment:
(1) during any period when the NYSE is closed, or trading on the NYSE is
restricted as determined by the SEC; (2) during any period when an emergency
exists as defined by the rules of the SEC as a result of which it is not
reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities owned by it, or
fairly to determine the value of its assets; and (3) for such other periods as
the SEC may permit.

Shareholders may transfer shares of the Portfolio to another person by
making a written request to the Advisor, who will transmit the request to the
transfer agent. The request should clearly identify the account and number of
shares to be transferred, and include the signature of all registered owners and
all stock certificates, if any, which are subject to the transfer. The signature
on the letter of request, the stock certificate, or any stock power must be
guaranteed in the same manner as described in the Prospectus under "REDEMPTION
OF SHARES." As with redemptions, the written request must be received in good
order before any transfer can be made.

TAXATION OF THE PORTFOLIO

The following is a summary of some of the federal income tax consequences
that may affect the Portfolio. Unless your investment in the Portfolio is
through a retirement plan, you should consider the tax implications of investing
and consult your own tax adviser.

Distributions of Net Investment Income

The Portfolio derives income generally in the form of dividends and
interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the
operation of the Portfolio, constitutes its net investment income from which
dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, any distributions
by the Portfolio from such income (other than qualified dividends) will be
taxable to you at ordinary income tax rates, whether you take them in cash or in
additional shares. A portion of the income dividends paid to shareholders may be
qualified dividends eligible to be taxed at reduced rates.

Distributions of Capital Gain

The Portfolio may realize a capital gain or loss in connection with sales
or other dispositions of its portfolio securities. Distributions derived from
the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss will
be taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions paid from the excess of net
long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss will be taxable to you
as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held your shares in
the Portfolio. Any net capital gain of the Portfolio generally will be
distributed once each year, and may be distributed more frequently, if
necessary, to reduce or eliminate excise or income taxes on the Portfolio.

Returns of Capital

If the Portfolio's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital
gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made
in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to
shareholders. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable,
but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the Portfolio and result in a
higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on
which the distribution was received are sold. Any return of capital in excess of
a shareholder's basis, however, is taxable as a capital gain.

Effect of Foreign Withholding Taxes

In general. The Portfolio may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on
income from certain foreign securities. This, in turn, could reduce the
Portfolio's income dividends paid to shareholders.

Pass-through of foreign tax credits. If more than 50% in value of the total
assets of the Portfolio is invested in securities of foreign corporations, the
Portfolio may elect to pass through to its shareholders their pro rata share of
foreign income taxes paid by the Portfolio. If this election is made, the
Portfolio may report more taxable income to you than it actually distributes.
You will then be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in
computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes
against your U.S. federal income tax (subject to limitations for certain
shareholders). The Portfolio will provide you with the information necessary to
complete your personal income tax return if it makes this election.

The amount of any foreign tax credits available to you (as a result of the
pass-through to you of your pro rata share of foreign taxes by paid by the
Portfolio) will be reduced if you receive from the Portfolio qualifying
dividends from qualifying foreign corporations that are subject to tax at
reduced rates. Shareholders in these circumstances should talk with their
personal tax advisors about their foreign tax credits and the procedures that
they should follow to claim these credits on their personal income tax returns.

Effect of foreign debt investments on distributions. Most foreign exchange
gains realized on the sale of debt securities are treated as ordinary income by
the Portfolio. Similarly, foreign exchange losses realized on the sale of debt
securities generally are treated as ordinary losses. These gains when
distributed are taxable to you as ordinary income, and any losses reduce the
Portfolio's ordinary income otherwise available for distribution to you. This
treatment could increase or decrease the Portfolio's ordinary income
distributions to you, and may cause some or all of the Portfolio's previously
distributed income to be classified as a return of capital.

PFIC securities. The Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign entities
that could be deemed for tax purposes to be passive foreign investment companies
("PFICs"). When investing in PFIC securities, the Portfolio intends to
mark-to-market these securities and will recognize any gains at the end of its
fiscal year. Deductions for losses are allowable only to the extent of any
current or previously recognized gains. These gains (reduced by allowable
losses) are treated as ordinary income that the Portfolio is required to
distribute, even though it has not sold the securities. You should also be aware
that the designation of a foreign security as a PFIC security will cause its
income dividends to fall outside of the definition of qualified foreign
corporation dividends. These dividends generally will not qualify for the
reduced rate of taxation on qualified dividends when distributed to you by the
Portfolio. In addition, if the Portfolio is unable to identify an investment as
a PFIC and thus does not make a mark-to-market election, the Portfolio may be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any "excess distribution" or
gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a
taxable dividend by the Portfolio to its shareholders. Additional charges in the
nature of interest may be imposed on the Portfolio in respect of deferred taxes
arising from such distributions or gains.

Information on the Amount and Tax Character of Distributions.

The Portfolio will inform you of the amount and character of your
distributions at the time they are paid, and will advise you of the tax status
of such distributions for federal income tax purposes shortly after the close of
each calendar year. If you have not held Portfolio shares for a full year, the
Portfolio may designate and distribute to you, as ordinary income, qualified
dividends, or capital gains, and in the case of non-U.S. shareholders the
Portfolio may further designate and distribute as interest-related dividends and
short-term capital gain dividends, a percentage of income that is not equal to
the actual amount of such income earned during the period of your investment in
the Portfolio. Taxable Distributions declared by the Portfolio in December to
shareholders of record in such month, but paid in January, are taxable to you as
if they were paid in December.

Election to be Taxed as a Regulated Investment Company

The Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company by satisfying certain distribution and asset diversification
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). As a regulated
investment company, the Portfolio generally pays no federal income tax on the
income and gains it distributes to its shareholders. The Board of Directors
reserves the right not to distribute the Portfolio's net long-term capital gain
or not to maintain the qualification of the Portfolio as a regulated investment
company if it determines such a course of action to be beneficial to
shareholders. If net long-term capital gain is retained, the Portfolio would be
taxed on the gain, and shareholders would be notified that they are entitled to
a credit or refund for the tax paid by the Portfolio. If the Portfolio fails to
qualify as a regulated investment company, the Portfolio would be subject to
federal, and possibly state, corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains,
and distributions to you would be taxed as qualified dividend income to the
extent of such Portfolio's earnings and profits.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income
tax purposes, the Portfolio must meet certain specific requirements, including:

(i) The Portfolio must maintain a diversified portfolio of securities,
wherein no security, including the securities of a qualified publicly
traded partnership (other than U.S. government securities and
securities of other regulated investment companies) can exceed 25% of
the Portfolio's total assets, and, with respect to 50% of the
Portfolio's total assets, no investment (other than cash and cash
items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated
investment companies) can exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total assets or
10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer;

(ii) The Portfolio must derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains
from the sale or disposition of stock, securities or foreign
currencies, or other income derived with respect to its business of
investing in such stock, securities, or currencies, and net income
derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership;
and

(iii) The Portfolio must distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its
investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income for each
of its fiscal years.

Excise Tax Distribution Requirement

To avoid federal excise taxes, the Code requires the Portfolio to
distribute to you by December 31 of each year, at a minimum, the following
amounts: 98% of its taxable ordinary income earned during the calendar year; 98%
of its capital gain net income earned during the twelve-month period ending
November 30; and 100% of any undistributed amounts from the prior year. The
Portfolio intends to declare and pay these distributions in December (or to pay
them in January, in which case you must treat them as received in December) but
can give no assurances that its distributions will be sufficient to eliminate
all taxes.

Sales, Exchanges and Redemption of Portfolio Shares

In general. If you are a taxable investor, sales, exchanges and redemptions
(including redemptions in kind) are taxable transactions for federal and state
income tax purposes. If you redeem your Portfolio shares the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") requires you to report any gain or loss on your redemption.
If you held your shares as a capital asset, the gain or loss that you realize
will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term or short-term, generally
depending on how long you have held your shares.

Redemptions at a loss within six months of purchase. Any loss incurred on a
redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term
capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributed to you by
the Portfolio on those shares.

Wash sales. All or a portion of any loss that you realize on a redemption
of your Portfolio shares will be disallowed to the extent that you buy other
shares in the Portfolio (through reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within
30 days before or after your share redemption. Any loss disallowed under these
rules will be added to your tax basis in the new shares.

U.S. Government Obligations

To the extent the Portfolio invests in certain U.S. government obligations,
dividends paid by the Portfolio to shareholders that are derived from interest
on these obligations should be exempt from state and local personal income
taxes, subject in some states to minimum investment or reporting requirements
that must be met by the Portfolio. The income on portfolio investments in
certain securities, such as repurchase agreements, commercial paper and federal
agency-backed obligations (e.g., Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA)
or Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) securities), generally does not
qualify for tax-free treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are
different for corporate shareholders.

Qualified Dividend Income for Individuals

For individual shareholders, a portion of the dividends paid by the
Portfolio may be qualified dividends eligible for taxation at long-term capital
gain rates. This reduced rate generally is available for dividends paid by the
Portfolio out of dividends earned on the Portfolio's investment in stocks of
domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations.

Both the Portfolio and the investor must meet certain holding period
requirements to qualify Portfolio dividends for this treatment. Specifically,
the Portfolio must hold the stock for at least 61 days during the 121-day period
beginning 60 days before the stock becomes ex-dividend. Similarly, investors
must hold their Portfolio shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period
beginning 60 days before the Portfolio distribution goes ex-dividend. The
ex-dividend date is the first date following the declaration of a dividend on
which the purchaser of stock is not entitled to receive the dividend payment.
When counting the number of days you held your Portfolio shares, include the day
you sold your shares but not the day you acquired these shares.

While the income received in the form of a qualified dividend is taxed at
the same rates as long-term capital gains, such income will not be considered as
a long-term capital gain for other federal income tax purposes. For example, you
will not be allowed to offset your long-term capital losses against qualified
dividend income on your federal income tax return. Any qualified dividend income
that you elect to be taxed at these reduced rates also cannot be used as
investment income in determining your allowable investment interest expense. For
other limitations on the amount of or use of qualified dividend income on your
income tax return, please contact your personal tax advisor.

After the close of its fiscal year, the Portfolio will designate the
portion of its ordinary dividend income that meets the definition of qualified
dividend income taxable at reduced rates. If 95% or more of the Portfolio's
income is from qualified sources, it will be allowed to designate 100% of its
ordinary income distributions as qualified dividend income.

Dividends-Received Deduction for Corporations

For corporate shareholders, a portion of the dividends paid by the
Portfolio may qualify for the dividends-received deduction. The portion of
dividends paid by the Portfolio that so qualifies will be designated each year
in a notice mailed to the Portfolio's shareholders, and cannot exceed the gross
amount of dividends received by the Portfolio from domestic (U.S.) corporations
that would have qualified for the dividends-received deduction in the hands of
the Portfolio if the Portfolio was a regular corporation. Dividends paid by the
Portfolio from interest on debt securities or dividends earned on portfolio
securities of non-U.S. issuers are not expected to qualify for the corporate
dividends-received deduction. Because Portfolio's income is derived primarily
from foreign issuers, none or only a small amount of its distributions are
expected to qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction.

The availability of the dividends-received deduction is subject to certain
holding period and debt financing restrictions imposed under the Code on the
corporation claiming the deduction. The amount that the Portfolio may designate
as eligible for the dividends-received deduction will be reduced or eliminated
if the shares on which the dividends earned by the Portfolio were debt-financed
or held by the Portfolio for less than a minimum period of time, generally 46
days during a 91-day period beginning 45 days before the stock becomes
ex-dividend. Similarly, if your Portfolio shares are debt-financed or held by
you for less than a 46-day period then the dividends-received deduction for
Portfolio dividends on your shares may also be reduced or eliminated. Even if
designated as dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction, all
dividends (including any deducted portion) must be included in your alternative
minimum taxable income calculation.

Complex Securities

The Portfolio may invest in complex securities and such investments may be
subject to numerous special and complicated tax rules. These rules could affect
whether gains or losses recognized by the Portfolio are treated as ordinary
income or capital gain, accelerate the recognition of income to the Portfolio,
defer the Portfolio's ability to recognize losses, and subject the Portfolio to
U.S. federal income tax on income from certain of the Portfolio's foreign
investments. In turn, these rules may affect the amount, timing and/or tax
character of the Portfolio's income and, in turn, of the income distributed to
you.

Derivatives. The Portfolio is permitted to invest in certain options,
futures and foreign currency contracts. If the Portfolio makes these
investments, it could be required to mark-to-market these contracts and realize
any unrealized gains and losses at its fiscal year end even though it continues
to hold the contracts. Under these rules, gains or losses on the contracts
generally would be treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term gains or losses,
but gains or losses on certain foreign currency contracts would be treated as
ordinary income or losses. In determining its net income for excise tax
purposes, the Portfolio also would be required to mark-to-market these contracts
annually as of November 30 (for capital gain net income and ordinary income
arising from certain foreign currency contracts), and to realize and distribute
any resulting income and gains.

Securities lending. The Portfolio's entry into securities lending
transactions may cause the replacement income earned on the loaned securities to
fall outside of the definition of qualified dividend income. This replacement
income generally will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on qualified
dividend income and, to the extent that debt securities are loaned, will
generally not qualify as qualified interest income for foreign withholding tax
purposes.

Tax straddles. The Portfolio's investment in options, futures and foreign
currency contracts in connection with certain hedging transactions could cause
the Portfolio to hold offsetting positions in securities. If the Portfolio's
risk of loss with respect to specific securities in its portfolio is
substantially diminished by the fact that it holds other securities, the
Portfolio could be deemed to have entered into a tax "straddle" or to hold a
"successor position" that would require any loss realized by it to be deferred
for tax purposes.

Investments in securities of uncertain tax character. The Portfolio may
invest in securities the U.S. Federal income tax treatment of which may not be
clear or may be subject to recharacterization by the IRS. To the extent the tax
treatment of such securities or the income from such securities differs from the
tax treatment expected by the Portfolio, it could affect the timing or character
of income recognized by the Portfolio, requiring the Portfolio to purchase or
sell securities, or otherwise change its portfolio, in order to comply with the
tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies under the Code.

Backup Withholding

By law, the Portfolio must withhold a portion of your taxable dividends and
sales proceeds unless you:

o provide your correct social security or taxpayer identification number,
o certify that this number is correct,
o certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, and
o certify that you are a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).

The Portfolio also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When
withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any dividends or proceeds
paid. The special U.S. tax certification requirements applicable to non-U.S.
investors are described under the "Non-U.S. Investors" heading below.

Non-U.S. Investors

Non-U.S. investors (shareholders who, as to the United States, are a
nonresident alien individual, foreign trust or estate, foreign corporation, or
foreign partnership) may be subject to U.S. withholding and estate tax and are
subject to special U.S. tax certification requirements. Non-U.S. investors
should consult their tax advisors about the applicability of U.S. tax
withholding and the use of the appropriate forms to certify their status.

In general. The United States imposes a flat 30% withholding tax (or a
withholding tax at a lower treaty rate) on U.S. source dividends, including on
income dividends paid to you by the Portfolio, subject to certain exemptions for
dividends designated as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain
dividends and interest-related dividends as described below. However,
notwithstanding such exemptions from U.S. withholding at the source, any
dividends and distributions of income and capital gains, including the proceeds
from the sale of your Portfolio shares, will be subject to backup withholding at
a rate of 28% if you fail to properly certify that you are not a U.S. person.

Capital gain dividends & short-term capital gain dividends. In general,
capital gain dividends paid by the Portfolio from either long-term or short-term
capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of U.S. real property
interests) are not subject to U.S. withholding tax unless you are a nonresident
alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods
aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year.

Interest-related dividends. Also, interest-related dividends paid by the
Portfolio from qualified interest income are not subject to U.S. withholding
tax. "Qualified interest income" includes, in general, U.S. source (1) bank
deposit interest, (2) short-term original discount and (3) interest (including
original issue discount, market discount, or acquisition discount) on an
obligation which is in registered form, unless it is earned on an obligation
issued by a corporation or partnership in which the Portfolio is a 10-percent
shareholder or is contingent interest, and (4) any interest-related dividend
from another regulated investment company. On any payment date, the amount of an
income dividend that is designated by the Portfolio as an interest-related
dividend may be more or less than the amount that is so qualified. This is
because the designation is based on an estimate of the Portfolio's qualified
interest income for its entire fiscal year, which can only be determined with
exactness at fiscal year end. As a consequence, the Portfolio may over withhold
a small amount of U.S. tax from a dividend payment. In this case, the non-U.S.
investor's only recourse may be to either forgo recovery of the excess
withholding, or to file a United States nonresident income tax return to recover
the excess withholding.

Further limitations on tax reporting for interest-related dividends and
short-term capital gain dividends for non-U.S. investors; sunset rule. It may
not be practical in every case for the Portfolio to designate, and the Portfolio
reserves the right in these cases to not designate, small amounts of
interest-related or short-term capital gain dividends. Additionally, the
Portfolio's designation of interest-related or short-term capital gain dividends
may not be passed through to shareholders by intermediaries who have assumed tax
reporting responsibilities for this income in managed or omnibus accounts due to
systems limitations or operational constraints. The exemption from withholding
for short-term capital gain dividends and interest-related dividends paid by the
Portfolio is effective for dividends paid with respect to taxable years of the
Portfolio beginning after December 31, 2004 and before January 1, 2008 unless
such exemptions are extended or made permanent.

Ordinary dividends; effectively connected income. Ordinary dividends paid
by the Portfolio to non-U.S. investors on the income earned on portfolio
investments in (i) the stock of domestic and foreign corporations, and (ii) the
debt of foreign issuers continue to be subject to U.S. withholding tax. If you
hold your Portfolio shares in connection with a U.S. trade or business, your
income and gains will be considered effectively connected income and taxed in
the U.S. on a net basis, in which case you may be required to file a nonresident
U.S. income tax return.

U.S tax certification rules. Special U.S. tax certification requirements
apply to non-U.S. shareholders both to avoid U.S. back up withholding imposed at
a rate of 28% and to obtain the benefits of any treaty between the United States
and the shareholder's country of residence. In general, a non-U.S. shareholder
must provide a Form W-8 BEN (or other applicable Form W-8) to establish that you
are not a U.S. person, to claim that you are the beneficial owner of the income
and, if applicable, to claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding
as a resident of a country with which the United States has an income tax
treaty. A Form W-8BEN provided without a U.S. taxpayer identification number
will remain in effect for a period beginning on the date signed and ending on
the last day of the third succeeding calendar year unless an earlier change of
circumstances makes the information on the form incorrect.

U.S. estate tax. An individual who, at the time of death, is a Non-U.S.
shareholder will nevertheless be subject to U.S. federal estate tax with respect
to shares at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. citizens and residents,
unless a treaty exception applies. In the absence of a treaty, there is a
$13,000 statutory estate tax credit. A partial exemption from U.S. estate tax
may apply to Portfolio shares held by the estate of a nonresident decedent. The
amount treated as exempt is based upon the proportion of the assets held by the
Portfolio at the end of the quarter immediately preceding the decedent's death
that are debt obligations, deposits, or other property that generally would be
treated as situated outside the United States if held directly by the estate.
This provision applies to decedents dying after December 31, 2004 and before
January 1, 2008, unless such provision is extended or made permanent. Transfers
by gift of shares of the Portfolio by a non-U.S. shareholder who is a
nonresident alien individual will not be subject to U.S. federal gift tax. The
tax consequences to a non-U.S. shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of an
applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Non-U.S.
shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the
particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Portfolio, including
the applicability of foreign tax.

Effect of Future Legislation; Local Tax Considerations

The foregoing general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is
based on the Code and the regulations issued thereunder as in effect on the date
of this Statement of Additional Information. Future legislative or
administrative changes or court decisions may significantly change the
conclusions expressed herein, and any such changes or decisions may have a
retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein. Rules
of state and local taxation of ordinary income, qualified dividend income and
capital gain dividends may differ from the rules for U.S. federal income
taxation described above. Distributions may also be subject to additional state,
local and foreign taxes depending on each shareholder's particular situation.
Non-U.S. shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax rules that differ significantly
from those summarized above. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax
advisers as to the consequences of these and other state and local tax rules
affecting investment in the Portfolio.

This discussion of "Taxation of the Portfolio" is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice and does not purport to deal with all federal tax
consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be
subject to special rules. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your
particular circumstances before making an investment in the Portfolio.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES

The Board of Directors of the Fund has delegated the authority to vote
proxies for the portfolio securities held by the Portfolio to the Advisor in
accordance with the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the "Voting Policies")
and Proxy Voting Guidelines ("Voting Guidelines") adopted by the Advisor.

The Investment Committee of the Advisor is generally responsible for
overseeing the Advisor's proxy voting process. The Investment Committee has
formed a Corporate Governance Committee composed of certain officers, directors
and other personnel of the Advisor and has delegated to its members authority to
(i) oversee the voting of proxies, (ii) make determinations as to how to vote
certain specific proxies, and (iii) verify the on-going compliance with the
Voting Policies. The Corporate Governance Committee may designate one or more of
its members to oversee specific, ongoing compliance with respect to the Voting
Policies and may designate other personnel of the Advisor to vote proxies on
behalf of the Portfolio, including all authorized traders of the Advisor.

The Advisor votes (or refrains from voting) proxies in a manner consistent
with the best interests of the Portfolio as understood by the Advisor at the
time of the vote. Generally, the Advisor analyzes proxy statements on behalf of
the Portfolio in accordance with the Voting Policies and the Voting Guidelines.
Most proxies that the Advisor receives will be voted in accordance with the
Voting Guidelines. Since most proxies are voted in accordance with the Voting
Guidelines, it normally will not be necessary for the Advisor to make an actual
determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating
conflicts of interest for the Advisor during the proxy voting process. However,
the Proxy Policies do address the procedures to be followed if a conflict of
interest arises between the interests of the Portfolio, and the interests of the
Advisor or its affiliates. If the Corporate Governance Committee member has
actual knowledge of a conflict of interest and recommends a vote contrary to the
Voting Guidelines, the Advisor, prior to voting, will fully disclose the
conflict to the Board of Directors of the Fund, or an authorized committee of
the Board, and vote the proxy in accordance with the direction of the Board or
its authorized committee.

The Advisor will usually vote proxies in accordance with the Voting
Guidelines. The Voting Guidelines provide a framework for analysis and decision
making, however, the Voting Guidelines do not address all potential issues. In
order to be able to address all the relevant facts and circumstances related to
a proxy vote, the Advisor reserves the right to vote counter to the Voting
Guidelines if, after a review of the matter, the Advisor believes that the best
interests of the Portfolio would be served by such a vote. In such a
circumstance, the analysis will be documented in writing and periodically
presented to the Corporate Governance Committee. To the extent that the Voting
Guidelines do not cover potential voting issues, the Advisor will vote on such
issues in a manner that is consistent with the spirit of the Voting Guidelines
and that the Advisor believes would be in the best interests of the Portfolio.

Examples of some of the Voting Guidelines are described below. Under the
Voting Guidelines proxies will usually be voted for: (i) the ratification of
independent auditors (ii) the elimination of anti-takeover measures; and (iii)
re-incorporation when the economic factors outweigh any negative governance
changes. Pursuant to the Voting Guidelines proxies will usually be voted
against: (i) the institution of anti-takeover measures (such as the institution
of classified boards of directors and the creation of super majority provisions)
and (ii) proposals authorizing the creation of new classes of preferred stock
with unspecified voting, conversion, dividend distribution and other rights. The
Voting Guidelines also provide that certain proposals will be considered on a
case-by-case basis, including: (i) mergers and acquisitions, which will be
assessed to determine whether the transaction enhances shareholder value; (ii)
proposals with respect to management compensation plans; (iii) proposals
increasing the authorized common stock of a company and (iv) proposals with
respect to the composition of a company's Board of Directors. The Advisor may,
but will not ordinarily, take social concerns into account in voting proxies
with respect to securities held by the Portfolio.

The Advisor votes (or refrains from voting) proxies in a manner that the
Advisor determines is in the best interests of the Portfolio and which seeks to
maximize the value of the Portfolio's investments. In some cases, the Advisor
may determine that it is in the best interests of the Portfolio to refrain from
exercising proxy voting rights. The Advisor may determine that voting is not in
the best interest of the Portfolio and refrain from voting if the costs,
including the opportunity costs, of voting would, in the view of the Advisor,
exceed the expected benefits of voting. For securities on loan, the Advisor will
balance the revenue-producing value of loans against the difficult-to-assess
value of casting votes. It is the Advisor's belief that the expected value of
casting a vote generally will be less than the securities lending income, either
because the votes will not have significant economic consequences or because the
outcome of the vote would not be affected by the Advisor recalling loaned
securities in order to ensure they are voted. The Advisor does intend to recall
securities on loan if it determines that voting the securities is likely to
materially affect the value of the Portfolio's investment and that it is in the
Portfolio's best interests to do so. In cases where the Advisor does not receive
a solicitation or enough information within a sufficient time (as reasonably
determined by the Advisor) prior to the proxy-voting deadline, the Advisor may
be unable to vote.

With respect to non-U.S. securities, it is typically both difficult and
costly to vote proxies due to local restrictions, customs, and other
requirements or restrictions. The Advisor does not vote proxies of non-U.S.
companies if the Advisor determines that the expected economic costs from voting
outweigh the anticipated economic benefit to the Portfolio Fund associated with
voting. The Advisor determines whether to vote proxies of non-U.S. companies on
a portfolio-by-portfolio basis, and generally implements uniform voting
procedures for all proxies of a country. The Advisor periodically reviews voting
logistics, including costs and other voting difficulties, on a portfolio by
portfolio and country by country basis, in order to determine if there have been
any material changes that would affect the Advisor's decision of whether or not
to vote.

The Advisor and the Fund have retained Institutional Shareholder Services
("ISS"), an independent third party service provider, to provide certain
services with respect to proxy voting. ISS provides information on shareholder
meeting dates and proxy materials; translates proxy materials printed in a
foreign language; provides research on proxy proposals and voting
recommendations in accordance with the Voting Guidelines; effects votes on
behalf of the Portfolio; and provides reports concerning the proxies voted.
Although the Advisor may consider the recommendations of ISS on proxy issues,
the Advisor remains ultimately responsible for all proxy voting decisions.

Information regarding how the Portfolio voted proxies related to its
portfolio securities during the 12 month period ended June 30 of each year is
available, no later than August 31 of each year, without charge, (i) upon
request, by calling collect: (310) 395-8005 or (ii) on the Advisor's web site at
http://www.dfaus.com and (iii) on the Commission's web site at
http://www.sec.gov.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Advisor and the Board of Directors of the Fund have adopted a policy
(the "Policy") to govern disclosure of the portfolio holdings of the Portfolio
("Holdings Information"), and to prevent the misuse of material non-public
Holdings Information. The Advisor has determined that the Policy and its
procedures: (1) are reasonably designed to ensure that disclosure of Holdings
Information is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Portfolio, and
(2) appropriately address the potential for material conflicts of interest.

Disclosure of Holdings Information as Required by Applicable Law. Holdings
Information (whether a partial listing of portfolio holdings or a complete
listing of portfolio holdings) shall be disclosed to any person as required by
applicable law, rules, and regulations.

Online Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings Information. The Portfolio
generally discloses up to its twenty-five largest portfolio holdings and the
percentages that each of these largest portfolio holdings represent of the
Portfolio's total assets ("largest holdings"), as of the most recent month-end,
online at the Advisor's public website, http://www.dfaus.com, within twenty days
after the end of each month. This online disclosure may also include information
regarding the Portfolio's industry allocations. The Portfolio generally
discloses its complete Holdings Information (other than cash and cash
equivalents), as of month-end, online at the Advisor's public website,
http://www.dfaus.com, three months following the month-end.

Disclosure of Holdings Information to Recipients. Each of the Advisor's
Chairman, Director of Institutional Services, Head of Portfolio Management and
Trading and General Counsel (together, the "Designated Persons") may authorize
disclosing non-public Holdings Information more frequently or at different
periods than as described above solely to those financial advisors, registered
accountholders, authorized consultants, authorized custodians, or third-party
data service providers (each a "Recipient") who: (i) specifically request the
more current non-public Holdings Information, and (ii) execute a Use and
Nondisclosure Agreement (each a "Nondisclosure Agreement"). Each Nondisclosure
Agreement subjects the Recipient to a duty of confidentiality with respect to
the non-public Holdings Information, and prohibits the Recipient from trading
based on the non-public Holdings Information. Any non-public Holdings
Information that is disclosed shall not include any material information about
the Portfolio's trading strategies or pending portfolio transactions. The
non-public Holdings Information provided to a Recipient under a Nondisclosure
Agreement, unless indicated otherwise, is not subject to a time delay before
dissemination.

As of the date of this SAI, the Advisor and the Portfolio had ongoing
arrangements with the following Recipients to make available non-public Holdings
Information:

------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------

Recipient Business Purpose Frequency
------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Citibank, N.A. Fund Custodian and available Daily
office operational support
service provider to the Advisor
------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
PFPC Trust Company Fund Custodian Daily
------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
PFPC Inc. Fund Administrator, Accounting Daily

PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP Independent registered public Semi-annually (based on fiscal
accounting firm year)
------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Pricing Service Vendor Fair Value Information Services Daily
------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------

In addition, certain employees of the Advisor and its subsidiaries receive
Holdings Information on a quarterly, monthly, or daily basis, or upon request,
in order to perform their business functions. None of the Portfolio, the
Advisor, or any other party receives any compensation in connection with these
arrangements.

The Policy includes the following procedures to ensure that disclosure of
Holdings Information is in the best interests of shareholders, and to address
any conflicts between the interests of shareholders, on the one hand, and the
interests of the Advisor, DFAS, or any affiliated person of the Fund, the
Advisor, or DFAS, on the other. In order to protect the interests of
shareholders and the Portfolio, and to ensure no adverse effect on shareholders
in the limited circumstances where a Designated Person is considering making
non-public Holdings Information available to a Recipient, the Advisor's Director
of Institutional Services and the Chief Compliance Officer will consider any
conflicts of interest. If the Chief Compliance Officer, following appropriate
due diligence, determines that: (1) the Portfolio has a legitimate business
purpose for providing the non-public Holdings Information to a Recipient, and
(2) disclosure of non-public Holdings Information to the Recipient would be in
the best interests of shareholders and will not adversely affect the
shareholders, then the Chief Compliance Officer may approve the proposed
disclosure.

The Chief Compliance Officer documents all disclosures of non-public
Holdings Information (including the legitimate business purpose for the
disclosure), and periodically reports to the Board on such arrangements. The
Chief Compliance Officer also is responsible for ongoing monitoring of the
distribution and use of non-public Holdings Information. Such arrangements are
reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer on an annual basis. Specifically, the
Chief Compliance Officer requests an annual certification from each Recipient
that the Recipient has complied with all terms contained in the Nondisclosure
Agreement. Recipients who fail to provide the requested certifications are
prohibited from receiving non-public Holdings Information.

The Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of Holdings
Information by: (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the Policy
by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Advisor and of the Fund; (2) considering
reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer concerning the
implementation of the Policy and any material compliance matters that may arise
in connection with the Policy; and (3) considering whether to approve or ratify
any amendments to the Policy. The Advisor and the Board reserve the right to
amend the Policy at any time, and from time to time without prior notice, in
their sole discretion.

Prohibitions on Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings and Receipt of
Compensation. No person is authorized to disclose Holdings Information or other
investment positions (whether online at http://www.dfaus.com, in writing, by
fax, by e-mail, orally, or by other means) except in accordance with the Policy.
In addition, no person is authorized to make disclosure pursuant to the Policy
if such disclosure is otherwise in violation of the antifraud provisions of the
federal securities laws.

The Policy prohibits the Portfolio, the Advisor, or an affiliate thereof
from receiving any compensation or other consideration of any type for the
purpose of obtaining disclosure of non-public Holdings Information or other
investment positions. "Consideration" includes any agreement to maintain assets
in the Portfolio or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the
Advisor or by any affiliated person of the Advisor.

The Policy and its procedures are intended to provide useful information
concerning the Portfolio to existing and prospective shareholders, while at the
same time preventing the improper use of Holdings Information. However, there
can be no assurance that the furnishing of any Holdings Information is not
susceptible to inappropriate uses, particularly in the hands of sophisticated
investors, or that the Holdings Information will not in fact be misused in other
ways, beyond the control of the Advisor.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Two Commerce Square, Suite 1700, 2001 Market
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-7042, is the Fund's independent registered public
accounting firm. It audits the Fund's annual financial statements. Because the
Portfolio had not commenced operations as of November 30, 2007, the annual
reports of the Fund for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 do not contain
any data regarding the Portfolio.

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Portfolio may compare its investment performance to appropriate market
and mutual fund indices and investments for which reliable performance data is
available. Such indices are generally unmanaged and are prepared by entities and
organizations that track the performance of investment companies or investment
advisors. Unmanaged indices often do not reflect deductions for administrative
and management costs and expenses. The performance of the Portfolio may also be
compared in publications to averages, performance rankings, or other information
prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services. Any performance
information, whether related to the Portfolio or to the Advisor, should be
considered in light of the Portfolio's investment objectives and policies,
characteristics and the quality of the portfolio and market conditions during
the time period indicated and should not be considered to be representative of
what may be achieved in the future.
