Dimensional Fund Advisors(DFA), the founder of dimensional funds, uses research based on the “efficient market hypothesis,” selects small caps and value stocks, and passively runs the funds.
DFA seeks to produce better-than-market returns over the long term through research and pinpointing quality small-caps and value stocks. Besides, the company has wide exposure to markets worldwide, like Japan, Germany, Australia, the US, Canada, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
The fund expense ratio is as low as 0.3% rather than 1% for active funds. The funds offered by DFA are mainly equity and fixed-income classes in Singapore dollars, which include Dimensional Global Core Equity Fund, Dimensional Emerging Market Large Caps Equity Fund, Dimensional Global Short Fixed Income Fund, and Dimensional Global Core Fixed Income Fund.
MoneyOwl offers five investment portfolios by creating various asset allocations of the 4 types of dimensional funds. The five portfolios are equity, growth, balanced, moderate, and conservative portfolios.
