A range of investment solutions

Dimensional offers a range of Core and Sustainability Models that offer increasing levels of emphasis on higher expected returns.

Graphic with circle graphs showing higher expected risk versus higher expected return for six allocation models. 100 percent fixed income shows the lowest expected return and lowest expected risk and is followed by graphs showing increasing levels of risk and return in this order: 20 percent equity, 80 percent fixed income; 40 percent equity, 60 percent fixed income; 60 percent equity, 40 percent fixed income; 80 percent equity, 20 percent fixed income; 100 percent equity.

The Dimensional Wealth Models are intended only for use by a third party financial adviser, wealth manager, private bank, or other duly regulated financial intermediary (each a “Professional Adviser”). The Dimensional Wealth Models are intended for use only by such Professional Adviser as a resource in the development of advice or other investment services from such Professional Adviser to its own clients. The Dimensional Wealth Models shall not be the sole or primary basis for such Professional Adviser’s recommendation and/or decision.

By providing the Dimensional Wealth Models, Dimensional Ireland and Dimensional UK, as applicable (each an “Issuing Entity”, as the context requires), do not provide any investment service to recipients of the Dimensional Wealth Models, and the Issuing Entity does not agree to provide recipients with the protections afforded to the clients of the Issuing Entity’s investment services.
