Today’s investors (and their financial advisors) face a paralyzing problem: Choice.
Like many investors, you probably rely on the expertise of a financial advisor to help guide you through the maze of
investing options.
With tens of thousands of investments to choose from — and more appearing every day — the decisions you face are
overwhelming and endless. But we believe all these decisions boil down to two primary choices:
1. Active Management vs. Passive Management
2. Indexing vs. Asset Class Investing
How you address these two decisions can have a substantial impact on your portfolio and its long-term financial success.

Decision 1:Active Management vs. Passive Management
The difference between active and passive investing can come down to one thing: efficiency.
Active management assumes the market isn’t completely efficient — that some securities are over- or underpriced and it is possible to figure
out which ones they are. Active managers try to beat the market through security selection and market timing. To do this, active
managers must take on more risk than the market’s inherent risk.
On the other hand, passive managers aim to capture the market’s returns, investing without regard for future forecasts. Passive managers seek
to avoid unnecessary risks and focus on keeping costs low in order to provide investors with greater potential returns. As the Nobel
Laureate in Economics, William Sharpe conclusively demonstrated in a ground-breaking paper:
“...it must be the case that
1.	before costs, the return on the average actively managed dollar will equal the return on the average passively managed dollar and
2.	after costs, the return on the average actively managed dollar will be less than the return on the average passively managed dollar
These assertions will hold for any time period. Moreover, they depend only on the laws of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division. Nothing else is required.”*
Looked at in the clear light of simple mathematics, after fees and costs are deducted, active management becomes a losing game in which
the expected outcome is negative, in which the odds are stacked against the average participant. In other words, while some active
managers will win, the majority will necessarily lose. The math is inescapable, so it isn’t surprising as the chart on the next page shows,
over the last five years, most active managers underperformed their benchmarks.
*William F. Sharpe, “TheArithmetic ofActive Management,” The FinancialAnalysts’ Journal Vol. 47, No. 1, January/February 1991. pp. 7-9

Investors Increasingly Trust the Passive Approach
More and more investors are questioning the wisdom of risking their financial futures on underperforming active
managers with high fees. Then there is the ever-present risk of style drift, which can jeopardize the overall portfolio
asset allocation.
Is it any wonder that passive investing is growing exponentially? Investors added $61 billion to passively managed funds
and ETFs in 2012, compared to outflows of $95 billion from actively managed funds, according to Morningstar.
As you can see from the chart below, passively invested assets have increased substantially — alongside a number of
academic studies which have called into question the historical ability of most active managers to outperform their
benchmarks over the long term.

Decision 2: Indexing vs.Asset Class Investing
The traditional approach to passive investing is index investing. With index
investing, you invest in a mutual fund or ETF that mimics a commercial index
representing an asset class.
While index investing, in our view, is preferable to active management, it has one
major problem: Indexes are designed to establish market performance and serve
as a benchmark for active management, not serve as investment vehicles.
As a result, index funds have three built-in drawbacks that may reduce their
effectiveness.
1.	 High trading costs from buying and selling as a “motivated trader”
	 The goal of an index fund is to track an index as closely as possible.
That means a fund’s manager must buy a security the day it is added
to an index. As the Reconstitution Effect chart to the right shows, the
end result is that the index manager must typically pay a high price
due to the temporary run up in price between the announcement and
when it is actually added. Additionally, index funds have no flexibility
to exclude or postpone a trade if the pricing is not favorable.
2.	 Inefficient asset & irregular class tracking
	 Indexes are typically reconstituted just once a year. If an underlying
security migrates to a different asset class (the company grows sub-
stantially bigger, for example) it won’t be removed from the index or
fund until its annual review — creating a disconnect between what
investors want and what their portfolios hold.
3.	 No flexibility in security selection
	 The index provider determines the securities. Managers aren’t free to
select the securities that best represent the asset class.

Asset class investing is a passive investment strategy based on the research
of some of the academic community’s most innovative and respected
thinkers and economists. Rooted in the knowledge that asset allocation
has the greatest impact on investment returns, it is designed to carefully
control the investments included in each asset class, giving investors
truer market returns than similar strategies.
What Is Asset Class Investing?
Which came first, the index or the asset class?
Nobel-Prize Winning Research
In 1952, Professor Harry S. Markowitz published a paper on what would become known as Modern Portfolio Theory. Before Modern
Portfolio Theory, investors thought the best way to make money in the markets was to buy just a few high-performing stocks.
Markowitz, who earned the Nobel Prize in Economics for his research, showed that investors could maximize returns and minimize
risk by investing in diverse portfolios containing many asset classes. To adjust the amount of risk, an investor need only change the
proportion of asset classes in his portfolio.
Markowitz’s idea was ahead of his time. Computing was in its infancy and there were few practical ways to implement his theory.
Harnessing Modern Portfolio Theory
By the early 1970s, computing technology had advanced, giving two financial innovators,
Rex Sinquefield and David Booth, a revolutionary idea. Why not develop portfolios based on
Markowitz’s discovery using indexes? The men helped pioneer some of the first index funds —
Booth at Wells Fargo and Sinquefield at American National Bank.
Index funds proved an immediate success — but Sinquefield and Booth didn’t stop there.
Building on a Brilliant Idea
By 1981, the pair were being asked repeatedly by their institutional clients for an alternative to
indexing that could deliver truer market rates of return. They knew there had to be a better way.
They founded Dimensional Fund Advisors and working with Gene Fama Sr., a renowned
professor at the University of Chicago, created Asset Class Investing.
Today Loring Ward uses institutional asset class funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors as the
building blocks of our distinctive Asset Class Investing approach to portfolio management.
All portfolios are designed by Loring Ward’s Investment Committee, which includes
Dr. Markowitz as well as Behavioral Finance pioneer, Dr. Meir Statman.

The Asset Class Investing Advantage
Asset Class Investing tries to improve on index investing by offering investors two major advantages:
1.	 Truer asset classes — meaning truer investment returns
2.	 Lower costs and higher potential returns thanks to advanced trading and engineering
How is this possible?
More Accurate Asset Class Tracking
Investors buy an asset class because its risk and return is part of a carefully
planned asset allocation. If an investment doesn’t accurately reflect the desired
asset class, it can throw off an entire investment strategy. As a pioneer in
Asset Class Investing, Dimensional makes asset class accuracy a top
priority, empowering its managers to swap out securities whenever
necessary to maintain true asset class representation. The result is a fund
that is much more faithful to its asset class than an index fund that adjusts
only annually.
Asset Class Consistency
Over time, securities within an index can migrate from one asset class to another,
e.g., from small company to large company. Since many indexes are reconsti-
tuted only once a year, their characteristics can be significantly different eleven
months after their reconstitution date. Because of this, an index that purports to
represent a certain asset class may not offer thorough, consistent exposure to the
underlying risk factors. This can be seen in the chart on the right that shows the
Russell 2000 Index and the Center for Research in Securities Prices small cap
index (CRSP 6-10 Index).
Asset Class investors are able to maintain “pure” asset class exposure. Because
Asset Class Investing is not tied to a specific target index, money managers can
utilize investor cash flows into and out of the portfolios to hold the necessary
securities for each asset class.

available for direct investment. Their performance does not reflect the expenses

Consistency of Asset Class Exposure
Flexible Trading to Enhance Efficiency
With Asset Class Investing, managers can also choose the most appropriate investments from the whole universe of
securities in an asset class — not just the ones included in an index. Managers can also exclude IPOs, financially
distressed and bankrupt companies and illiquid stocks that don’t truly represent the class. Managers can also draw from a
wider universe. For example, while there are approximately 4,500 small-cap stocks in the U.S. to choose from, most small-cap
index funds and ETFs limit themselves to the 2,000 small-cap stocks of the Russell 2000.
Flexible Trading to Enhance Efficiency
Because asset class funds aren’t tied to an index, managers
have the flexibility to decide when to add a security to the
fund. That means managers aren’t forced to buy a stock the
day it becomes part of an index — when its price is likely
to be high. Instead they trade carefully and patiently in an
effort to minimize transaction costs. They are also free to
capitalize on block trading and securities lending whenever
possible.
Independence from index tracking means lower trading
costs, which can mean that investors see higher returns.
As you can see from the chart on the right, the average
expense ratio of a DFA Fund — about .39% is significantly
lower than the .55% average of passive funds and substantially
lower than the 1.17% average for actively managed funds.

In the end, only you (working closely with your financial advisor) can decide
what is the best approach and investment vehicle for your individual situation.
However, we passionately believe that most investors can benefit from the sophistication,
truer asset class returns and lower costs that can come from adopting a strategic Asset
Class Investing approach.
This means you no longer have to spend all your time focused on trying to outguess the
market or pick the right managers. Instead, you can address what matters most — enjoy-
ing your life secure in the knowledge that you have a prudent plan in place for achieving
your long-term goals.
The Ultimate Decision
Diversification and Asset Class Investing neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.

  • 3. Today’s investors (and their financial advisors) face a paralyzing problem: Choice. Like many investors, you probably rely on the expertise of a financial advisor to help guide you through the maze of investing options. With tens of thousands of investments to choose from — and more appearing every day — the decisions you face are overwhelming and endless. But we believe all these decisions boil down to two primary choices: 1. Active Management vs. Passive Management 2. Indexing vs. Asset Class Investing How you address these two decisions can have a substantial impact on your portfolio and its long-term financial success.

  • 4. Decision 1:Active Management vs. Passive Management The difference between active and passive investing can come down to one thing: efficiency. Active management assumes the market isn’t completely efficient — that some securities are over- or underpriced and it is possible to figure out which ones they are. Active managers try to beat the market through security selection and market timing. To do this, active managers must take on more risk than the market’s inherent risk. On the other hand, passive managers aim to capture the market’s returns, investing without regard for future forecasts. Passive managers seek to avoid unnecessary risks and focus on keeping costs low in order to provide investors with greater potential returns. As the Nobel Laureate in Economics, William Sharpe conclusively demonstrated in a ground-breaking paper: “...it must be the case that 1. before costs, the return on the average actively managed dollar will equal the return on the average passively managed dollar and 2. after costs, the return on the average actively managed dollar will be less than the return on the average passively managed dollar These assertions will hold for any time period. Moreover, they depend only on the laws of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Nothing else is required.”* Looked at in the clear light of simple mathematics, after fees and costs are deducted, active management becomes a losing game in which the expected outcome is negative, in which the odds are stacked against the average participant. In other words, while some active managers will win, the majority will necessarily lose. The math is inescapable, so it isn’t surprising as the chart on the next page shows, over the last five years, most active managers underperformed their benchmarks. *William F. Sharpe, “TheArithmetic ofActive Management,” The FinancialAnalysts’ Journal Vol. 47, No. 1, January/February 1991. pp. 7-9 Active Management Passive Management Assumes markets aren’t efficient; tries to be predictive. Assumes markets are efficient. Relies on security selection and market timing to seek alpha. Asset classes define security selection. Manager style drift can compromise portfolio asset allocation. No manager style drift. Exposes the investor to above-market risk. Tries to eliminate all non-market risks. Frequent trades increase transactions costs and taxes. Lower costs mean greater potential returns for investors. vs.

  • 6. Investors Increasingly Trust the Passive Approach More and more investors are questioning the wisdom of risking their financial futures on underperforming active managers with high fees. Then there is the ever-present risk of style drift, which can jeopardize the overall portfolio asset allocation. Is it any wonder that passive investing is growing exponentially? Investors added $61 billion to passively managed funds and ETFs in 2012, compared to outflows of $95 billion from actively managed funds, according to Morningstar. As you can see from the chart below, passively invested assets have increased substantially — alongside a number of academic studies which have called into question the historical ability of most active managers to outperform their benchmarks over the long term. 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 First Asset Class Fund “Very little evidence that any individual fund was able to do significantly better than… mere random chance.” Michael Jensen,The Performance of Mutual Funds in the Period 1945-1964 First Index Fund 1960 1981 1970 1968

  • 8. Decision 2: Indexing vs.Asset Class Investing The traditional approach to passive investing is index investing. With index investing, you invest in a mutual fund or ETF that mimics a commercial index representing an asset class. While index investing, in our view, is preferable to active management, it has one major problem: Indexes are designed to establish market performance and serve as a benchmark for active management, not serve as investment vehicles. As a result, index funds have three built-in drawbacks that may reduce their effectiveness. 1. High trading costs from buying and selling as a “motivated trader” The goal of an index fund is to track an index as closely as possible. That means a fund’s manager must buy a security the day it is added to an index. As the Reconstitution Effect chart to the right shows, the end result is that the index manager must typically pay a high price due to the temporary run up in price between the announcement and when it is actually added. Additionally, index funds have no flexibility to exclude or postpone a trade if the pricing is not favorable. 2. Inefficient asset & irregular class tracking Indexes are typically reconstituted just once a year. If an underlying security migrates to a different asset class (the company grows sub- stantially bigger, for example) it won’t be removed from the index or fund until its annual review — creating a disconnect between what investors want and what their portfolios hold. 3. No flexibility in security selection The index provider determines the securities. Managers aren’t free to select the securities that best represent the asset class. indexfundsdrawbacks One Day Return after Announcement (%) Run-Up to Effective Date (%) Decay after Effective Date (%) S&P 500 Index 3.2 3.8 -2.1 MSCI EAFE Index 3.4 4.5 -2.6 Price Announcement Effective Time Reconstitution Effect • Stocks typically rise on announcement of inclusion in an index • Index funds forced to buy high on effective date • Buying and selling to track index changes reduces tracking error but generates higher transaction costs • Asset class investing strives to add value by not demanding liquidity on heaviest trading days In US dollars.

  • 9. Asset class investing is a passive investment strategy based on the research of some of the academic community’s most innovative and respected thinkers and economists. Rooted in the knowledge that asset allocation has the greatest impact on investment returns, it is designed to carefully control the investments included in each asset class, giving investors truer market returns than similar strategies. What Is Asset Class Investing?

  • 11. Nobel-Prize Winning Research In 1952, Professor Harry S. Markowitz published a paper on what would become known as Modern Portfolio Theory. Before Modern Portfolio Theory, investors thought the best way to make money in the markets was to buy just a few high-performing stocks. Markowitz, who earned the Nobel Prize in Economics for his research, showed that investors could maximize returns and minimize risk by investing in diverse portfolios containing many asset classes. To adjust the amount of risk, an investor need only change the proportion of asset classes in his portfolio. Markowitz’s idea was ahead of his time. Computing was in its infancy and there were few practical ways to implement his theory. Harnessing Modern Portfolio Theory By the early 1970s, computing technology had advanced, giving two financial innovators, Rex Sinquefield and David Booth, a revolutionary idea. Why not develop portfolios based on Markowitz’s discovery using indexes? The men helped pioneer some of the first index funds — Booth at Wells Fargo and Sinquefield at American National Bank. Index funds proved an immediate success — but Sinquefield and Booth didn’t stop there. Building on a Brilliant Idea By 1981, the pair were being asked repeatedly by their institutional clients for an alternative to indexing that could deliver truer market rates of return. They knew there had to be a better way. They founded Dimensional Fund Advisors and working with Gene Fama Sr., a renowned professor at the University of Chicago, created Asset Class Investing. Today Loring Ward uses institutional asset class funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors as the building blocks of our distinctive Asset Class Investing approach to portfolio management. All portfolios are designed by Loring Ward’s Investment Committee, which includes Dr. Markowitz as well as Behavioral Finance pioneer, Dr. Meir Statman. Professor Harry S. Markowitz
  • 12. The Asset Class Investing Advantage Asset Class Investing tries to improve on index investing by offering investors two major advantages: 1. Truer asset classes — meaning truer investment returns 2. Lower costs and higher potential returns thanks to advanced trading and engineering How is this possible? More Accurate Asset Class Tracking Investors buy an asset class because its risk and return is part of a carefully planned asset allocation. If an investment doesn’t accurately reflect the desired asset class, it can throw off an entire investment strategy. As a pioneer in Asset Class Investing, Dimensional makes asset class accuracy a top priority, empowering its managers to swap out securities whenever necessary to maintain true asset class representation. The result is a fund that is much more faithful to its asset class than an index fund that adjusts only annually. Asset Class Consistency Over time, securities within an index can migrate from one asset class to another, e.g., from small company to large company. Since many indexes are reconsti- tuted only once a year, their characteristics can be significantly different eleven months after their reconstitution date. Because of this, an index that purports to represent a certain asset class may not offer thorough, consistent exposure to the underlying risk factors. This can be seen in the chart on the right that shows the Russell 2000 Index and the Center for Research in Securities Prices small cap index (CRSP 6-10 Index). Asset Class investors are able to maintain “pure” asset class exposure. Because Asset Class Investing is not tied to a specific target index, money managers can utilize investor cash flows into and out of the portfolios to hold the necessary securities for each asset class.

  • 13. Flexible Trading to Enhance Efficiency With Asset Class Investing, managers can also choose the most appropriate investments from the whole universe of securities in an asset class — not just the ones included in an index. Managers can also exclude IPOs, financially distressed and bankrupt companies and illiquid stocks that don’t truly represent the class. Managers can also draw from a wider universe. For example, while there are approximately 4,500 small-cap stocks in the U.S. to choose from, most small-cap index funds and ETFs limit themselves to the 2,000 small-cap stocks of the Russell 2000. Flexible Trading to Enhance Efficiency Because asset class funds aren’t tied to an index, managers have the flexibility to decide when to add a security to the fund. That means managers aren’t forced to buy a stock the day it becomes part of an index — when its price is likely to be high. Instead they trade carefully and patiently in an effort to minimize transaction costs. They are also free to capitalize on block trading and securities lending whenever possible. Independence from index tracking means lower trading costs, which can mean that investors see higher returns. As you can see from the chart on the right, the average expense ratio of a DFA Fund — about .39% is significantly lower than the .55% average of passive funds and substantially lower than the 1.17% average for actively managed funds. Index Investing Asset Class Investing Strategy determined by commercial index Strategy defined by academically researched asset class Requires the purchase of securities to match index regardless of price Avoids buying high-priced securities when index reconstitutes Index class drifts from target over the year Asset class holds truer throughout the year Higher transaction costs from trading Uses advanced trading and engineering to minimize transaction costs vs. DFA Equity Average Average Passive Equity Fund Average Active Equity Fund Source: Morningstar 2013
