Summary

A straightforward process held back by a restrictive mandate. Dimensional Five-Year Diversified Fixed Interest employs Dimensional’s proven approach to fixed-income investing; however, the cap on duration can act as a handicap. As a result, the fund tends to lag over the long term compared with peers that ply a more flexible approach.
