                SUPPLEMENT TO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
                              DATED MARCH 30, 2007

Effective  October 10, 2007, the Funds  established two new classes of shares of
certain  Portfolios  contained  in  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information
("SAI"), which new classes are offered to qualified investors and described in a
separate SAI. In conjunction  with the creation of these two additional  classes
of shares, the original class of shares of each Portfolio  described in this SAI
has been named the "Institutional Class shares."

Effective October 10, 2007, the following changes are made to the SAI:

(i)  The following sentence is added to the front cover of the SAI:

     This SAI relates to the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolios.

(ii) The following disclosure is added as the second paragraph under the heading
     "PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS AND POLICIES" on page 1 of the SAI:

     This SAI describes the Institutional  Class shares of each Portfolio.  Each
     Portfolio (except the U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity
     2 Portfolio,  U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio,  Japanese Small Company  Portfolio,
     Asia  Pacific  Small  Company  Portfolio,   United  Kingdom  Small  Company
     Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap
     Value  Portfolio,  Emerging  Markets Small Cap  Portfolio,  DFA  Short-Term
     Municipal  Bond  Portfolio and DFA  California  Short-Term  Municipal  Bond
     Portfolio)  also offers two additional  classes of shares,  Class R1 shares
     and Class R2 shares, which are offered to qualified investors and described
     in a separate SAI.

(iii) The first two paragraphs under the heading  "SHAREHOLDERS  RIGHTS" on page
     41 of the SAI are deleted, and replaced as follows:

          The shares of each  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 a class of a 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  as each other  class of the  Portfolio,
     except that on a matter  affecting a single class only shares of that class
     of the Portfolio are permitted to vote on the matter.

          With  respect  to  matters   which   require   shareholder   approval,
     shareholders are entitled to vote only with respect to matters which affect
     the  interest of the  Portfolio or class of shares of the  Portfolio  which
     they hold,  except as otherwise  required by applicable law. If liquidation
     of a Fund  should  occur,  the Fund's  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 class.  Ordinarily,  the Funds do not intend
     to hold annual meetings of shareholders, except as required by the 1940 Act
     or other  applicable law. Each Fund's bylaws provide that special  meetings
     of  shareholders  shall be called at the written request of at least 10% of
     the 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 Funds, the latter being audited.

(iv) The fee waiver and expense assumption  agreement for a Portfolio  described
     either  under the  heading  "SERVICES  TO THE  FUNDS" or under the  heading
     "ADVISORY  FEES"  relates  only to the  Institutional  Class  shares of the
     Portfolio.
