Mandate
How we invest your moneyNormally, the Trust will gain some or all of its exposure by investing in other funds managed by the Dimensional Group (including other Dimensional Wholesale Trusts) that invest in equity and real estate securities. As at the date of this PDS, the Trust will seek exposure to equities (including real estate securities) as set out in the table above. The actual exposure may vary from the target exposure due to trading, portfolio management or market considerations. As at the date of this PDS, it is intended that the weighting to Australian equities will be significantly greater than this asset class would represent if it were Market Capitalisation Weighted. The underlying funds in which the Trust may invest, its allocation with respect to each underlying fund, the target allocation range, and the investment policies of the underlying funds,
may be changed at any time by Dimensional. The Trust may also gain exposure by
investing directly in securities that would fall within each asset class set
out above as determined by Dimensional. Please refer to Dimensional's website at www.dimensional.com.au for updated asset allocation information. 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). Members of the Dimensional Group will generally undertake the day-to-day trading of the securities, and on occasion may also make investment decisions, in their respective geographic regions under delegated authority from Dimensional.
