Enhanced US Large Company Portfolio


Inception Date
July 2, 1996
Ticker Symbol
DFELX
CUSIP Number
233-203-637

The investment objective of the Enhanced US Large Company Portfolio is to achieve a total return which exceeds the total return performance of the S&P 500 Index. Generally, the Portfolio will invest in S&P 500 Index stocks, futures, and swaps, in conjunction with high-quality, short-term fixed income obligations (as may be acquired by Dimensional's Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series). The percentage of assets invested in S&P 500 Index stocks, futures and swaps, and fixed income instruments may vary from time to time, but the Portfolio will maintain a segregated account consisting of liquid assets to cover its open positions in Index Derivatives to avoid leveraging of the Portfolio.

For a full description, please consult the Portfolio's prospectus.

Performance data represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance displayed. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate such that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and are net of all fees and expenses. Prior to April 2002, certain international equity portfolios charged a reimbursement fee to the purchasers of shares of those portfolios.

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 funds that own them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in a fund will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money.

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 are also exposed to foreign currency risk (the possibility that foreign currency will fluctuate in value against the US dollar).
