Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The investment objective of the Dimensional World ex U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF (the World ex U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF or Portfolio) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while considering federal tax implications of investment decisions.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests in a broad universe of developed and emerging market equities outside the United States, with systematic overweighting toward smaller-capitalization, lower-priced, and higher-profitability companies relative to their market-cap-weighted representation. The manager also adjusts positions 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 active security selection and trading decisions drive returns rather than adherence to a fixed index, performance will diverge from any benchmark. The fund pursues tax efficiency through loss-offset strategies and prioritizes long-term capital gains treatment.
