Efficient Advisors To Offer Dimensional Funds

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Efficient Advisors, LLC is pleased to announce that we can now offer Dimensional Fund Advisors (Dimensional) mutual funds to the advisors using the Efficient Advisors turnkey asset management platform (TAMP). This offers advisors on the Efficient platform access to Dimensional's renowned mutual funds, which have a track record of solid returns. The firm targets higher expected returns by using the information in prices and fundamentals to construct fully diversified portfolios, while seeking to mitigate unnecessary risks. Dimensional funds are now available on the Efficient Advisors platform.

Efficient Advisors' investment philosophy aligns well with Dimensional's. Efficient Advisors deploys a disciplined, diversified, low-cost investment strategy focusing on factors that research shows drive long-term outperformance. Some of the most famous of these factors are value (a low stock price compared to the overall value of the firm), small company size and profitability. "We are delighted to be able to increase the options we provide our advisors while adhering to our low-cost, diversified philosophy of asset management," said Chris Powers, National Sales Manager for Efficient Advisors. "Like Dimensional, we believe in the power of factor investing. In working with Dimensional we have yet another way to help our advisors position their clients to take advantage of factors at a reasonable cost."

Efficient Advisors maintains a disciplined approach to investing that focuses on long-term results rather than short-term trades. EA's portfolio models will deploy Dimensional's mutual funds to build factor-based portfolios at various levels of risk so advisors can address their clients' goals and needs. Diversification is a key to the EA investment philosophy, and we are always mindful of the explicit and implicit cost of investments for the end client.

The origin of evidence-based investing comes from independent academic research used to identify factors in the stock market that tend to lead to enhanced long-term performance, and building portfolios that seek to capture those risk factors at a reasonable cost. Through our relationship with Dimensional, Efficient Advisors can enhance its range of diversified domestic and international investment models. Working with Dimensional will also give Efficient's advisor clients access to the academic research, resources and experience that Dimensional's team offers.
