Investment philosophy
Dimensional’s investment philosophy is based on dimensions of expected returns that have been identified by academic research:
- The overall market – stocks have higher expected returns than bonds.
- Company size – small company stocks have higher expected returns than large company stocks.
- Relative price – low relative price or ‘value’ stocks have higher expected returns than high relative price stocks.
- Profitability – stocks with higher profitability have higher expected returns than stocks with lower profitability.
