Why choose Dimensional funds?
Dimensional Fund Advisors are a global investment company with a long history of applying academic research to real world investing. Founded in 1981, Dimensional aims to help investors achieve better long-term outcomes through a disciplined and evidence-based approach.
Rather than trying to predict short-term market movements, Dimensional build portfolios designed to capture the key drivers of long-term returns. These include factors such as company size, value, and profitability, areas that have been shown by decades of research to influence investment performance over time.
Dimensional takes a thoughtful approach to managing investments. Instead of simply tracking market indices, they apply a structured process that aims to enhance returns while managing costs and risk through broad diversification.

Risk versus returns
In the simplest possible terms, the more risk your clients are comfortable taking with their investments, the greater the potential reward over time. That also means, however, that there is greater potential for loss.
