**EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 55 (the "Amendment") to the Registration Statement of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the "Registrant") on Form N-1A (File No. 811-07440) is being filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to amend and supplement the Part B of the Registrant in Amendment No. 54 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on February 28, 2025 under the 1940 Act (Accession No. 0001137439-25-000149) ("Amendment No. 54").

The [Part A and Part B](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/896163/000113743925000149/demposami022025.htm) of the Registration Statement, as filed in Amendment No. 54, are incorporated herein by reference.

The shares of the Registrant are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), because the Registrant issues its shares only in private placement transactions pursuant to available exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.

This Amendment is not offering to sell, or soliciting any offer to buy, any security to the public within the meaning of the Securities Act.

**Item 29.** **Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant.**<br>

If an investor beneficially owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the feeder fund that invests all of its investable assets in a Series of the Registrant, then the feeder fund and its corresponding Series may be deemed to be under the common control of such investor. Accordingly, the feeder portfolio of DFA Investment Dimensions Group ("DFAIDG"), a Maryland corporation and registered investment company, may be deemed to be under common control with its corresponding Series of the Registrant. As of January 31, 2025, no person beneficially owned more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the feeder portfolio investing in the Registrant.

**Item 30.** **Indemnification.**<br>

[Reference is made to Article VII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is incorporated herein by reference.](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/896163/000179420222000052/ex28a1.htm)

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking:

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to the trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, an officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**Item 31.** **Business and Other Connections of the Investment Advisor.**<br>

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (formerly, Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc.), the investment manager for the Registrant, is also the investment manager for four other registered open-end investment companies, DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., The DFA Investment Trust Company, Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Dimensional ETF Trust. The Advisor also serves as sub-advisor for certain other registered investment companies.
