| Description: | From Wikipedia: DFA's objective is to use the insights of Modern Portfolio Theory to produce more efficient investment vehicles. The company's board of directors includes Myron Scholes and Robert C. Merton, both of whom won the Nobel Prize for economics. The late Merton Miller, another Nobel laureate, was also on the board of directors. The company rejects stock-picking and market timing and uses an enhanced form of indexing to design portfolios and limit trading costs. Their investment philosophy emphasizes five "dimensions" that determine investment results – hence the firm's name. For example, one of their stock funds might overweight small-cap stocks and value stocks, to emphasize the dimensions of "size" and "price." Dimensional manages $160 billion of funds as of 2008, which are not offered directly to the public, but only to institutional investors and registered investment advisers. The company is owned by its employees, board members and a number of outside investors, which as of 2005 was reported to include Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. |
