Investing with Confidence: The Dimensional Fund Advisors Evidence-Based Approach

Our investment philosophy is built on the power of evidence-based investing, not speculation. We partner with Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), a leader in applying academic research and Nobel Prize-winning insights to real-world investment solutions.

DFA focuses on capturing systematic sources of expected returns, or “dimensions,” which include:

  • Company Size: Smaller companies have historically shown higher long-term returns than larger firms.
  • Value: Stocks trading at lower relative prices (value stocks) tend to outperform growth stocks over time.
  • Profitability: Companies with higher profitability generally yield better performance over the long term.

Through diversified, low-cost portfolios that emphasize these proven dimensions, we help clients pursue long-term performance with confidence and clarity.
