Dimensional Core Plus Wealth Models

The Dimensional Core Plus ETF Wealth Models offer a research-driven, systematic framework for pursuing various investment goals. There are six allocations, each consisting of different equity-fixed income allocations, and should be selected based on the investor's risk tolerance. Equity allocations provide broadly diversified global equity exposure with a U.S.-market tilt. Fixed income allocations favor shorter duration, higher credit quality, and inflation protection. The allocations use Dimensional funds designed to go beyond indexing by pursuing higher expected returns in a diversified, cost-effective manner. Dimensional is a pioneer in applying academic research to factor-based investing. The models integrate their most advanced thinking on financial theory, research, and implementation.
