pretty tough time with the market this year. Over and over again, we
hear from people who want to take action instead of sitting still. The

• Buy commodities and commodity funds.
• Dump the “dogs” in their portfolios, the funds that have underperformed.

We’ve been managing money for clients since
1983, and the best way we have ever found to build a buy-and-hold portfolio is using
no-load asset-class index funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA). These funds

This all-equity portfolio represents what we believe is the very best
way for investors to diversify their investments using mutual funds
available to the public. It’s designed to provide exposure to the nine
most important equity asset classes that we recommend. No single fund
family, including Fidelity and Vanguard, has open funds in all nine.
