DFA Financial Group

Founded in 1981, Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) is a private investment firm that applies academic research to practical investing. The company's investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that markets are efficient, and it aims to capture returns through systematic portfolio design and implementation rather than traditional stock picking or market timing. They work closely with leading financial academics, including Nobel laureates, to develop strategies that target specific dimensions of higher expected returns, such as company size, relative price, and profitability. DFA manages a range of mutual funds, ETFs, and separate accounts for institutional clients and investors working with approved financial advisors worldwide.
