About DFRSX
DFA Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation by focusing on small-cap equities across developed and emerging countries within the Asia Pacific region. Structured as a feeder portfolio, it invests substantially all of its assets in a corresponding master fund, thereby gaining broad exposure to a diversified pool of smaller companies in markets such as Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other Asia Pacific nations.
The fund holds hundreds of securities, with its top positions comprising only a small percentage of total assets, reflecting a strong commitment to diversification. This focus on small-cap stocks allows the portfolio to capture unique growth opportunities that may be overlooked in larger-cap broad market strategies. The fund’s strategy leverages a systematic approach to identify and maintain holdings, seeking to benefit from the risk and return characteristics specific to the region’s smaller companies. As a result, DFA Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio Institutional Class plays a specialized role for investors looking to diversify global equity exposure through targeted participation in Asia Pacific small-cap markets.
