The fundamental investment objective of the Canadian Core Equity Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of Canadian companies.

In constructing the portfolio, Dimensional buys a broad and diverse group of securities, with an increased exposure to securities of small issuers and securities that it considers to be value securities. Dimensional typically determines size based upon market capitalization. In assessing value, Dimensional may consider factors such as a company's shares having a high book value in relation to its market value, and price-to-cash-flow or price-to-earnings ratios. The criteria used for assessing value may change from time to time.

Where practical, Dimensional may seek to increase the after-tax value of an investment by managing the Fund in a manner that may defer the realization of net capital gains and reduce dividend income.
