About DSFIX

DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to maximize total returns through a diversified allocation to investment grade debt securities. Its primary function is to provide exposure to a broad portfolio of fixed income assets issued by both U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government entities, with a particular focus on securities rated from AAA to BBB- (or the equivalent by major rating agencies). This fund distinguishes itself by systematically applying social screens, excluding bonds from issuers that do not meet specific social criteria, which aligns its holdings with certain ethical or socially responsible investing standards. With approximately 12.5% of its portfolio invested in foreign securities, it offers investors access to global bond markets while predominantly focusing on developed countries. Positioned in the intermediate core bond category, the fund generally maintains moderate credit quality and interest rate sensitivity. It appeals primarily to institutional investors seeking a balance of steady income and responsible investing, underscored by its competitive expense ratio and disciplined risk management. The fund plays a notable role in the market by integrating social considerations into fixed income portfolio construction, meeting the growing demand for socially responsible investment options in the bond sector.
