About DWFIX

The DFA World ex U.S. Government Fixed Income Portfolio Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on providing exposure to high-quality, non-U.S. government debt securities. Its primary objective is to maximize total returns by investing at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments, supranational organizations, and their agencies, with a particular emphasis on issuers from developed markets. Notable for its strict credit quality requirements, the fund's holdings are largely rated AA or AAA, reflecting a conservative approach to credit risk management. The portfolio also strategically includes derivatives to manage currency and interest rate exposure, optimizing the risk-return profile. With a low expense ratio and institutional share class features, the fund is designed to offer efficient global diversification within fixed income while minimizing costs for large investors. It is positioned within the USD-hedged global bond category, helping investors offset currency risks associated with international bonds. Overall, this fund plays an important role for institutional investors seeking stable income and diversification beyond U.S. borders, specifically through government-backed and supranational international debt instruments.
