Key Features
Fund overview and significant featuresThe Trust seeks to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of listed international and Australian real estate securities listed on developed and emerging markets (see section 5 of the PDS for details). The Trust is not managed with the objective of achieving a particular return relative to a benchmark index. However, to compare the performance of the Trust with a broad measure of market performance, reference may be made to a combination of the S&P Developed ex Australia REIT Index and S&P/ASX 300 A-REIT Index, weighted according to the asset allocation for the Trust, unhedged (for the unhedged class units) and hedged to the New Zealand dollar (for the NZD hedged class units). For further details please refer to www.dimensional.com.au. Investors should note that the index is referred to for comparison purposes only. The performance of the Trust may differ significantly from the index. Description of TrustTwo classes of units are offered to all investors: unhedged class units and NZD hedged class units that are denominated in New Zealand dollars. For the unhedged class units, foreign currency exposure is unhedged. For the NZD hedged class units, the Trust mitigates currency risk by hedging most major foreign currency exposures to the New Zealand dollar. Other foreign currency exposure is either partially hedged using one of the major currencies that is in Dimensional's view correlated with the relevant currency (as a proxy), or not hedged, depending on what Dimensional deems to be cost-efficient. The Trust may lend securities for the purpose of generating additional income. The Trust may gain some or all of its market exposure by investing in other funds managed by Dimensional or its affiliates (including other Dimensional Wholesale Trusts). Other members of the Dimensional Group may on occasion undertake the day-to-day trading of the securities, and make investment decisions under delegated authority from Dimensional.

Mandate
How we invest your moneyOrdinarily, the Trust will pursue its objective by investing in a diverse group of listed real estate securities associated with Australia and other approved developed and emerging markets. Eligible securities for the strategy include the securities of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), REIT-like entities as defined by Dimensional and entities principally engaged in the real estate industry. Investments in eligible securities generally will be made using a Market Capitalisation Weighted approach within each country. Dimensional may also use other factors to determine target weights for securities in the Trust. The basis for country weights will be determined by Dimensional from time to time. At the date of the PDS, the Trust's allocation of its assets to Australia is at a significantly greater weight than the country would represent if it were Market Capitalisation Weighted. Strategic asset allocationUnder normal circumstances, the Trust will invest in accordance with the following target allocation range*:
