About DFSVX
DFA U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. small-cap companies that exhibit value characteristics. Structured as an institutional-class fund, it targets at least 80% of its net assets toward small-capitalization U.S. equities, while maintaining a diversified portfolio encompassing nearly 1,000 individual holdings across multiple sectors. The fund may also use futures contracts and options to manage market exposure based on cash flows. Managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors since 1993, this portfolio adopts a value-oriented investment style, emphasizing companies that are considered undervalued relative to their fundamentals. Its benchmark is the Russell 2000 Value Index, reflecting its focus on smaller companies with value attributes. The fund is characterized by a relatively low expense ratio and low portfolio turnover, which help keep costs down. It plays a significant role in the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity market, providing broad exposure for institutional investors seeking diversification within that space.
