DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS
DATED FEBRUARY 13, 1998
DFA International Value Portfolio IV
Emerging Markets Portfolio II
The description of the investment policies of the Portfolios listed above
(collectively, the "Portfolios") is revised as follows:
On September 1, 1998, the Malaysian government announced a series of
capital and foreign exchange controls on the Malaysian currency, the ringgit,
and on transactions on the Kuala Lampur Stock Exchange, that operate to severely
constrain or prohibit foreign investors, including the corresponding series (the
"Series") in which the Portfolios invest their assets, from repatriating assets.
While there is some confusion in the market concerning the interpretations of
these changes, it appears that the Series will not be permitted to convert the
proceeds of the sale of their Malaysian investments into U.S. dollars prior to
September 1, 1999.
As a consequence of these developments, the Series have stopped trading
securities in Malaysia. With respect to the current Malaysian investments owned
by the Series, the Series are presently valuing the securities in good faith at
fair value by discounting the current market prices of the Malaysian securities
and discounting the U.S. dollar-ringgit currency exchange rate. Pending further
clarification from Malaysian regulatory authorities regarding the controls
identified above, the Series will treat their investments in Malaysian
securities as illiquid.
As of the date of this supplement, Malaysian securities constitute
approximately 9.60% of the net asset value of the Emerging Markets Series.
Malaysian securities constitute less than one percent of the net asset value of
the DFA International Value Series.
The date of this Supplement is September 10, 1998.
