Dimensional Fund AdvisorsVisit Website

Dimensional Fund Advisors
Our passive asset class investment approach is translated by Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) into an array of mutual funds, each of which is rigorously designed to capture a particular “dimension” or asset class within a globally diversified portfolio. (DFA is our primary but not exclusive source for implementing our recommended investment approach.)

Working years ahead of the industry, Dimensional has forged a new way to invest. The firm inaugurated its strategies in 1981 with early research into the stronger performance of small cap stocks. Later, a comprehensive analysis of stock prices worldwide deepened the strategy repertoire and set a new standard for portfolio design. This evolution reflects an abiding belief in financial science and the efficacy of capital markets.

AEGON has access to Dimensional Fund Advisor sub-accounts within a no-load, relatively low-cost variable annuity. Their annuity solution is consistent with FR Financial’s guidingprinciples by providing low-cost, passive asset class investing.
