About
Working years ahead of the industry, Dimensional forged a new way to invest. The firm inaugurated its strategies in the US in 1981 with early research into the stronger performance of small cap stocks. Later, a comprehensive analysis of stock prices worldwide deepened the strategy repertoire and set a new standard for portfolio design. This evolution reflects an abiding belief in financial science and the efficacy of capital markets.

At Dimensional, we see markets as an ally, not an adversary. Rather than trying to take advantage of the ways markets are mistaken, we take advantage of the ways markets are right—the ways they compensate investors. The firm designs portfolios to help our investors capture what the market offers in all its dimensions.
Dimensional is owned primarily by employees and directors, and manages assets exclusively for institutional investors and the clients of registered financial advisors. From offices in Austin, Santa Monica, London, Sydney, and Vancouver our professional staff supervises portfolios and services clients twenty-four hours a day.
