IFA and Dimensional Fund Advisors

IFA helps clients design diversified portfolios of index funds, sponsored by advisors such as Vanguard, Fidelity, and BlackRock (iShares), but primarily from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA).

DFA transcends the rigid limitations of traditional index funds and avoids the cost-generating activity of stock picking and market timing. DFA focuses on the dimensions of capital markets that intelligently and efficiently reward investors, using indexes that overweight small cap and value stocks, where the expected returns are greater. Rated the best overall mutual fund company by more than 1,000 Investment Advisors, DFA's funds help investors create globally diversified portfolios of index funds. DFA funds are only available to individual investors through DFA approved investment advisors. IFA is approved for the purchase of DFA funds, but receives no compensation from DFA or any other investments.
