US-BASED Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) has made its name swimming against the tide of conventional thinking in the asset management industry since its founding in 1981.
Today, key aspects of its core philosophy have become mainstream such as its insistence on low costs and its scepticism over active management's ability to outperform. More recently, factor-based investing, which it has always adhered to, has also gained traction.
