Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The investment objective of the Dimensional U.S. Small Cap ETF (the US Small Cap ETF or Portfolio) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while minimizing federal income taxes on returns.
The fund uses a market-capitalization-weighted approach to invest in a broad portfolio of U.S. small-cap companies, with an emphasis on those with lower relative price, higher profitability, or smaller size within the small-cap universe. The manager actively adjusts holdings based on shorter-term factors including price momentum and investment characteristics, and employs tax-loss harvesting to minimize realized capital gains. Because the fund's holdings and weightings reflect active management decisions rather than a fixed index, performance may diverge materially from any small-cap benchmark. The fund is actively managed and may engage in securities lending and use derivatives to manage cash flows.

Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Stocks | 99.83% |
| Cash & short-term | 11.34% |
| Other | 0.01% |
These positions come to 111.18% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2

| Financials | 17.6% |
| Consumer Discretionary | 11.4% |
| Information Technology | 11.0% |
| 11 smaller | 41.7% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.
