Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objective of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while minimizing federal income taxes on returns. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio is a Feeder Portfolio and pursues its objective by investing substantially all of its assets in its corresponding Master Fund, The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series (the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series ) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (the Trust ), which has the same investment objective and policies as the Portfolio. FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio. Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* Management Fee... 0.35% Other Expenses... 0.02% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses... 0.37% * The Management Fee includes an investment management fee payable by the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series and an administration fee payable by the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio. The amounts set forth under Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses reflect the direct expenses of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio and the indirect expenses of the Portfolio s portion of the expenses of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series. Example This Example is meant to help you compare the cost of investing in the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 3 s 5 s 10 s $38 $119 $208 $468 The Example reflects the aggregate estimated annual operating expenses of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio and the Portfolio s portion of the expenses of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series. Portfolio Turnover The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction 1

costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series portfolio turnover rate was 5% of the average value of its investment portfolio. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the Advisor ) believes that equity investing should involve a long-term view and a systematic focus on sources of expected returns, not on stock picking or market timing. In constructing an investment portfolio, the Advisor identifies a broadly diversified universe of eligible securities with precisely-defined risk and return characteristics. It then places priority on efficiently managing portfolio turnover and keeping trading costs low. In general, the Advisor does not intend to purchase or sell securities for the investment portfolio based on prospects for the economy, the securities markets or the individual issuers whose shares are eligible for purchase. The Advisor s tax management strategies for the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series are designed to maximize the after tax value of a shareholder s investment. Generally, the Advisor buys and sells securities for the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series with the goals of: (i) delaying and minimizing the realization of net capital gains (e.g., selling stocks with capital losses to offset gains, realized or anticipated); and (ii) maximizing the extent to which any realized net capital gains are long-term in nature (i.e., taxable at lower capital gains tax rates). The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series, using a market capitalization weighted approach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. companies that the Advisor determines to be value stocks. A company s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the U.S. company, the greater its representation in the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series. The Advisor may modify market capitalization weights and even exclude companies after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management, and expected profitability, as well as other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions. Securities are considered value stocks primarily because a company s shares have a high book value in relation to their market value. In assessing expected profitability, the Advisor may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of U.S. companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Advisor considers for purchase by Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series securities of companies whose market capitalizations generally fall within the range of total market capitalization. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ), NYSE MKT LLC, Nasdaq Global Market or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Advisor. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series and the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio each may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices, to gain market exposure on their uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income. 2

PRINCIPAL RISKS Market Risk: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuerspecific events will cause the value of securities, and the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series that owns them, and, in turn, the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio itself, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money. Value Investment Risk: Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and following a valueoriented investment strategy may cause the Portfolio to at times underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. Small Company Risk: Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies and this could make it difficult to sell a small company security at a desired time or price. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. In general, smaller capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. Tax-Management Strategy Risk: The tax-management strategies may alter investment decisions and affect portfolio holdings, when compared to those of non-tax managed mutual funds. The Advisor anticipates that performance of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio may deviate from that of non-tax managed mutual funds. Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are instruments, such as futures contracts, whose value is derived from that of other assets, rates or indices. The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may be considered more speculative than other types of investments. When the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series and Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio use derivatives, each will be directly exposed to the risks of that derivative. Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks including counterparty, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, and the risk of improper valuation. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Portfolio could lose more than the principal amount invested. Securities Lending Risk: Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series may lose money and there may be a delay in recovering the loaned securities. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series could also lose money if it does not recover the securities and/or the value of the collateral falls, including the value of investments made with cash collateral. Securities lending also may have certain adverse tax consequences. PERFORMANCE The bar chart and table immediately following illustrate the variability of Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio s returns and are meant to provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows the changes in the Portfolio s performance from year to year. The table illustrates how annualized one year, five year and ten year returns, both before and after taxes, compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio s past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Portfolio can be obtained by visiting www.dimensional.com. The after-tax returns presented in the table for the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor s tax situation and may differ from those shown in the table. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares of the Portfolio through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. 3

The following individuals are responsible for coordinating the day to day management of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio and the Tax- Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series: Stephen A. Clark, Senior Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor, has been a portfolio manager since 2001. Joseph H. Chi, Senior Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor, has been a portfolio manager since 2005. Jed S. Fogdall, Senior Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor, has been a portfolio manager since 2004. Henry F. Gray, Vice President of the Advisor, has been Head of Global Equity Trading since 2006. Bhanu P. Singh, Portfolio Manager and Vice President of the Advisor, has been a portfolio manager since 2012. PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES Investors may purchase or redeem shares of the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio on each day that the NYSE is open for business, regardless of whether the Federal Reserve System is closed, by first contacting the Portfolio s transfer agent at (888) 576-1167. Shareholders that invest in the Portfolio through a financial intermediary should contact their financial intermediary regarding purchase and redemption procedures. The Portfolio generally is available for investment only by institutional clients, clients of registered investment 4

advisors, clients of financial institutions and a limited number of certain other investors as approved from time to time by the Advisor. All investments are subject to approval of the Advisor. TAX INFORMATION The dividends and distributions you receive from the Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio are taxable and generally will be taxed as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case taxes are deferred until withdrawal from the plan or account. 5

Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objective of the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while minimizing federal income taxes on returns. FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio. Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Management Fee... 0.42% Other Expenses... 0.02% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses... 0.44% Example This Example is meant to help you compare the cost of investing in the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 3 s 5 s 10 s $45 $141 $246 $555 Portfolio Turnover The Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio s portfolio turnover rate was 6% of the average value of its investment portfolio. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the Advisor ) believes that equity investing should involve a long-term view and a systematic focus on sources of expected returns, not on stock picking or market timing. In constructing an investment portfolio, the Advisor identifies a broadly diversified universe of eligible securities with precisely-defined risk and return characteristics. It then places priority on efficiently managing portfolio turnover and keeping trading costs low. In general, the Advisor does not intend to purchase or sell securities for the investment portfolio based on prospects for the economy, the securities markets or the individual issuers whose shares are eligible for purchase. 6

The Advisor s tax management strategies for the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio are designed to maximize the after tax value of a shareholder s investment. Generally, the Advisor buys and sells securities for the Portfolio with the goals of: (i) delaying and minimizing the realization of net capital gains (e.g., selling stocks with capital losses to offset gains, realized or anticipated); and (ii) maximizing the extent to which any realized net capital gains are long-term in nature (i.e., taxable at lower capital gains tax rates). The Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. small and mid cap companies that the Advisor determines to be value stocks. A company s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the eligible company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio. The Advisor may modify market capitalization weights and even exclude companies after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management, and expected profitability, as well as other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions. Securities are considered value stocks primarily because a company s shares have a high book value in relation to their market value. In assessing expected profitability, the Advisor may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of U.S. companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Advisor considers for investment companies whose market capitalizations are generally smaller than the 500th largest U.S. company. As of December 31, 2013, companies smaller than the 500th largest U.S. company fall in the lowest 18% of total market capitalization. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ), NYSE MKT LLC, Nasdaq Global Market or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Advisor. As of December 31, 2013, the market capitalization of a company smaller than the 500th largest U.S. company was approximately $7,167 million or below. This dollar amount will change due to market conditions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices, to gain market exposure on its uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income. PRINCIPAL RISKS Market Risk: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuerspecific events will cause the value of securities, and the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio that owns them, to rise or fall.

Value Investment Risk: Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and following a valueoriented investment strategy may cause the Portfolio to at times underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. Small Company Risk: Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies and this could make it difficult to sell a small company security at a desired time or price. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. In general, smaller capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. 7

In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares of the Portfolio through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. A negative pre-tax total return translates into a higher after-tax return because this calculation assumes that an investor received a tax deduction for the loss incurred on the sale.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES Investors may purchase or redeem shares of the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio on each day that the NYSE is open for business, regardless of whether the Federal Reserve System is closed, by first contacting the Portfolio s transfer agent at (888) 576-1167. Shareholders that invest in the Portfolio through a financial intermediary should contact their financial intermediary regarding purchase and redemption procedures. The Portfolio generally is available for investment only by institutional clients, clients of registered investment advisors, clients of financial institutions and a limited number of certain other investors as approved from time to time by the Advisor. All investments are subject to approval of the Advisor. TAX INFORMATION The dividends and distributions you receive from the Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio are taxable and generally will be taxed as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case taxes are deferred until withdrawal from the plan or account. 9

Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objective of the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while minimizing federal income taxes on returns. FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio. Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Management Fee... 0.20% Other Expenses... 0.02% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses... 0.22% Example This Example is meant to help you compare the cost of investing in the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio s operating expenses remain the same. The costs for the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio reflect the net expenses of the Portfolio that result from the contractual expense waiver and assumption in the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 3 s 5 s 10 s $13 $71 $124 $280 Portfolio Turnover The Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio s portfolio turnover rate was 3% of the average value of its investment portfolio. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the Advisor ) believes that equity investing should involve a long-term view and a systematic focus on sources of expected returns, not on stock picking or market timing. In constructing an investment portfolio, the Advisor identifies a broadly diversified universe of eligible securities with precisely-defined risk and return characteristics. It then places priority on efficiently managing portfolio turnover and keeping trading costs low. In general, the Advisor does not intend to purchase or sell securities for the investment portfolio based on prospects for the economy, the securities markets or the individual issuers whose shares are eligible for purchase. 10

The Advisor s tax management strategies for the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio are designed to maximize the after tax value of a shareholder s investment. Generally, the Advisor buys and sells securities for the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio with the goals of: (i) delaying and minimizing the realization of net capital gains (e.g., selling stocks with capital losses to offset gains, realized or anticipated); and (ii) maximizing the extent to which any realized net capital gains are long-term in nature (i.e., taxable at lower capital gains tax rates). The Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of U.S. companies. A company s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the U.S. company, the greater its representation in the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio. The Advisor may modify market capitalization weights and even exclude companies after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management, and expected profitability, as well as other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions. In assessing expected profitability, the Advisor may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of U.S. companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Advisor considers for purchase by Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio securities of companies whose market capitalizations generally fall within the range of total market capitalization. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ), NYSE MKT LLC, Nasdaq Global Market or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Advisor. The Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices, to gain market exposure on their uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income. PRINCIPAL RISKS Market Risk: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuerspecific events will cause the value of securities and, in turn, the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio that owns them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money. Small Company Risk: Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies and this could make it difficult to sell a small company security at a desired time or price. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. In general, smaller capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. Tax-Management Strategy Risk: The tax-management strategies may alter investment decisions and affect portfolio holdings, when compared to those of non-tax managed mutual funds. The Advisor anticipates that performance of the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio may deviate from that of non-tax managed mutual funds. Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are instruments, such as futures contracts, whose value is derived from that of other assets, rates or indices. The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may be considered more speculative than other types of investments. When the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio uses derivatives, it 11

will be directly exposed to the risks of that derivative. Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks including counterparty, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, and the risk of improper valuation. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Portfolio could lose more than the principal amount invested. Securities Lending Risk: Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio may lose money and there may be a delay in recovering the loaned securities. The Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio could also lose money if it does not recover the securities and/or the value of the collateral falls, including the value of investments made with cash collateral. Securities lending also may have certain adverse tax consequences. PERFORMANCE The bar chart and table immediately following illustrate the variability of the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio s returns and are meant to provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows the changes in the Portfolio s performance from year to year. The table illustrates how annualized one year, five year and ten year returns, both before and after taxes, compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Portfolio s past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Portfolio can be obtained by visiting www.dimensional.com. The after-tax returns presented in the table for the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor s tax situation and may differ from those shown in the table. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares of the Portfolio through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

The Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. small cap companies. A company s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the U.S. small cap company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio. The Advisor may modify market capitalization weights, and even exclude companies after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management, and expected profitability, as well as other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions.

As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small cap U.S. companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, for purposes of the Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, the Advisor considers small cap companies to be companies whose market capitalizations are generally in the lowest 10% of total market capitalization or companies whose market capitalizations are smaller than the 1,000th largest U.S. company, whichever results in the higher market capitalization break. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ), NYSE MKT LLC, Nasdaq Global Market or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Advisor. Under the Advisor s market capitalization guidelines described above, as of December 31, 2013, the market capitalization of a small cap company was $3,522 million, or below. This dollar amount will change due to market conditions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices, to gain market exposure on its uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. The Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income. PRINCIPAL RISKS Market Risk: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit.
