About DFWVX

DFA World ex U.S. Value Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund that focuses on delivering value-driven equity exposure to markets outside the United States. Its primary objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in large-cap and mid-cap stocks from developed and emerging markets across Europe, Asia, and other regions, while limiting U.S. exposure to a minimal percentage. The portfolio is broadly diversified, with major holdings in financial services, energy, consumer cyclicals, and industrials, and allocates over 97% of its assets to non-U.S. stocks, reflecting a truly international approach. Key features include a disciplined emphasis on value stocks—shares considered undervalued based on low price ratios and high dividend yields—while maintaining a low expense ratio and a cost structure advantageous relative to peers. This institutional share class is designed for efficiency and transparency, offering investors a way to capture global value opportunities outside the U.S., playing a crucial role in asset allocation strategies that seek international diversification and exposure to value equities.
