US Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1
|
Inception Date January 31, 2008 |
Ticker Symbol DFTVX |
CUSIP Number 233-203-231 |
The US Targeted Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns and diversification benefits of a broad cross-section of US small value companies, on a market-cap weighted basis. The Portfolio invests in securities of US companies smaller than the 500th largest company in the market universe. The market universe is comprised of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and Nasdaq National Market System. After identifying the aggregate market capitalization break, a value screen is applied to the universe. Securities are considered value stocks primarily because a company's shares have a high book value in relation to their market value (BtM). This BtM sort excludes firms with negative or zero book values. In assessing value, additional factors such as price-to-cash-flow or price-to-earnings ratios may be considered, as well as economic conditions and developments in the issuer's industry. The criteria for assessing value are subject to change from time to time.
For a full description, please consult the Portfolio's prospectus.
Class R1 shares are only intended for investors who have purchased shares through certain eligible group retirement plans.

Performance data shown for Class R1 shares is hypothetical based on the historical performance of Class I shares, adjusted for higher Class R1 share operating expenses. Class R1 shares debuted on 1/31/2008 and are only available to investors in certain eligible group retirement plans. The inception date reflects the inception of the oldest share class, Class I, on 2/23/2000. 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.
Small Company Risk
Securities of small firms are often less liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small
company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price.
