Dimensional’s founders launched some of the first index funds in the 1970s. In the 1980s they broke new ground pioneering factor investing, starting the firm with the belief that investors could do better than indexing through a research-backed approach using up-to-date information on what can improve returns. We believe this can lead to better outcomes for investors than active stock-picking or passive indexing.
