About DFISX

DFA International Small Company Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on providing investors with exposure to small-cap equities from developed markets outside the United States. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation, achieved by investing predominantly in the smallest 12.5% of companies by market capitalization across international developed markets, with market caps as low as $50 million. The portfolio is widely diversified, holding thousands of stocks and maintaining a low concentration in its top holdings, with only a small percentage allocated to any single company. By targeting foreign small-cap firms, the fund gives investors access to a segment that can offer distinct growth characteristics and diversification benefits relative to large-cap and U.S.-domiciled equities. The fund is designed with institutional investors in mind, featuring a low expense ratio and low portfolio turnover. It is categorized within the foreign small/mid blend segment, making it a notable choice for those seeking broad international small-cap exposure as part of a diversified investment strategy.
