About DFETX
DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio II is an actively managed mutual fund designed to provide exposure to equities across global emerging markets. The fund’s primary objective is long-term capital appreciation, and it accomplishes this by serving as a feeder portfolio that invests substantially all of its assets into its corresponding master fund, The Emerging Markets Series of The DFA Investment Trust Company, which shares the same goals and investment policies. Managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors, the portfolio spans a diversified selection of companies, with more than 2,000 holdings and notable allocations to firms like Tencent Holdings, Samsung Electronics, and Alibaba Group Holding. Classified within the diversified emerging markets category, the fund’s assets are allocated across at least 20 emerging economies, with a pronounced focus on regions such as Asia and Latin America. The fund’s comprehensive approach aims to mitigate stock-specific risk while tilting toward securities with higher expected returns, contributing to its reputation as a solid choice for investors seeking broad-based, international growth potential within emerging markets.
