Growth Focus Model Portfolio
Growth Focus: The Growth Focus Model Portfolio is designed for investors seeking long-term
growth of capital. A minor emphasis, if any, is placed on current income. Investors should be willing to
accept periods of volatility or even losses in exchange for potential long-term capital appreciation.
Investors should have a longer term horizon until their funds are needed which allows them to be
comfortable riding out short- to medium-term adverse results.
The Growth Focus Model Portfolio is appropriate for you if it reflects your long-term investment goals
and, given your financial circumstances, how much risk you can comfortably take. The portfolio is a
blend of mutual funds that provide exposure to publicly traded stocks, bonds and cash/equivalent
investments. This analysis considers the characteristics of the overall model portfolio, rather than each
fund in isolation. The exposure to various investments is based on the underlying holdings in the
mutual funds listed below.
The following table lists the funds that currently comprise the Growth Focus Model Portfolio with
their allocation percentage within the model, and historical performance results relative to appropriate
benchmarks.

DISCLOSURES
Performance information
The performance data quoted in this analysis represents past performance. Past performance does
not guarantee future results and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower
or higher than the performance information quoted. To obtain current month end performance for
Dimensional Funds please visit www.dimensional.com. Investing in mutual funds involves risks,
including the loss of principal. The performance quoted reflects the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions, but does not reflect our advisory fees. Such fees, if taken into
consideration, will reduce the performance quoted on page 1.
Analysis information
Each model portfolio is comprised of a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional
Fund Advisors. This analysis considers the characteristics of the overall model portfolio, rather
than each fund in isolation. The exposure to various investments and portfolio holdings
information is based on the underlying holdings in the mutual funds listed on the next page. The
portfolio is a blend of mutual funds that provide exposure to publicly traded stocks, bonds and
cash/equivalent investments.
The performance exhibits are generic and educational in nature, and do not pertain to your actual
portfolio. The exhibits were designed to illustrate the relationship between risk and return, and
the uncertainty of stocks relative to bonds.
Risk information
Stock investing involves risk including loss of principal. Securities of small companies are often less
liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more
in price. International and emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency
fluctuation and political instability, and may not be suitable for all investors. Bonds (fixed income)
are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as
interest rate rises, issuer’s creditworthiness declines, and are subject to availability and changes in
price. REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions and real estate values, and
credit and interest rate risks.
