Description: DFEM Dimensional Trust

The Dimensional Emerging Markets Core Equity 2 ETF (DFEM) provides broad exposure to equity securities across emerging and frontier markets. The fund maintains a non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in approved market securities as defined by its prospectus. This strategy targets a diverse range of companies within developing economies to capture total market returns.

The emerging markets sector typically includes nations experiencing rapid industrialization and higher potential GDP growth compared to developed markets. This business model focuses on systematic diversification to mitigate the volatility inherent in frontier market investments.
