DFA International Small Cap Fund Class A
The mutual funds managed by DFA Canada are available only to Canadian residents, through representatives authorized by us and affiliated with approved registered dealers.
The following is only a summary of the Fund. For a full description, please consult the Fund's prospectus.
The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of small non-Canadian and non-US companies. To achieve the Fund's investment objectives, Dimensional Fund Advisors will generally invest in a broad and diverse group of readily marketable stocks of small non-Canadian and non-US companies with developed markets and traded on an exchange.
Where practical, Dimensional Fund Advisors will seek to increase the after-tax value of an investment by managing the Fund in a manner that may defer the realization of net capital gains and reduce dividend income.
The management fee payable with respect to Class A units is 1.00% higher than the Class F units because we pay a trailer fee to dealers who sell Class A units.
