DFA U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio Institutional Class 

This fund primarily invests in a wide array of U.S. micro-cap company stocks, structuring its portfolio by weighting holdings according to each company's market capitalization. To efficiently adjust its overall exposure to the equity market, the fund can utilize derivatives such as futures contracts and options on futures, which are linked to U.S. equities and indices. This tactical use of derivatives is driven by the need to manage actual or projected cash flows into or out of the fund.
