- - THE EAFE INDEX (NET DIVIDENDS) IS A MORE APPROPRIATE MEASURE OF THE DIVIDEND
  THAT FOREIGN INVESTORS CAN ATTAIN DUE TO FOREIGN WITHHOLDING TAXES THAN THE
  EAFE INDEX (GROSS DIVIDENDS), AND IS REPLACING THE LATTER FOR COMPARISON
  PURPOSES.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
A. ORGANIZATION:
 
    Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of
registered investment advisors. The Fund currently offers thirteen portfolios,
of which The DFA International Value Portfolio III (the "Portfolio") is
presented in this report.
 
    The Portfolio invests all of its assets in The DFA International Value
Series (the "Series") a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust
Company. At November 30, 1998, the Portfolio owned 17% of the outstanding shares
of the Series. The financial statements of the Series are included elsewhere in
this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
the Portfolio.
 
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such policies
are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    1.  SECURITY VALUATION:  The shares of the Series held by the Portfolio are
valued at its respective daily net asset value.
 
    2.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable
income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is required in the
financial statements.
 
    3.  OTHER:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities
sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio or to the
Series are directly charged. Common expenses are allocated using methods
determined by the Board of Directors.
 
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
 
    Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("DFA" or the "Advisor") provides
administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services
provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board
of Directors, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment
advisory services to the Series. For the year ended November 30, 1998, the
Portfolio's administrative fees were computed daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01 of 1% of average daily net
assets.
 
    Certain officers of the Portfolio are also officers, directors and
shareholders of the Advisor.
 
D. INVESTMENTS:
 
    At November 30, 1998, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for
federal income tax purposes of investment securities was as follows (amounts in
thousands):

E. LINE OF CREDIT:
 
    The Fund, together with other DFA-advised portfolios, has entered into a $50
million unsecured line of credit with its domestic custodian bank. Each
portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a
maximum of $50 million. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the
current overnight federal funds rate plus a variable rate determined at the date
of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line. There is no commitment fee on the unused
portion of the line of credit. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
by the Portfolio during the year ended November 30, 1998.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dimensional Investment Group Inc., The DFA International Value Portfolio III,
and the related statements of operations, and of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dimensional Investment Group Inc., The DFA International Value
Portfolio III at November 30, 1998, the results of its operations, changes in
its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the periods presented,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 1998 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily
traded. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available
are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities
for which quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at fair
value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees.
 
    2.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:  Securities, other assets and liabilities
of The DFA International Value Series whose values are initially expressed in
foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the mean price of such
currency against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank. Dividend and interest
income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of
exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated
in foreign currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates
and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
 
    3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  It is the Series' intention to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable
income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal taxes is required in the financial
statements.
 
    4.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:  The Series may purchase money market instruments
subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The seller will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the
collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral
being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust's
custodian or a third party sub-custodian. All open repurchase agreements were
entered into on November 30, 1998.
 
    5.  FOREIGN MARKET RISKS:  Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States, including the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of foreign government supervision and regulation of
foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and
more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States.
Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be
inhibited.
 
    6.  OTHER:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities
sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and
premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective
securities. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged.
Common expenses are allocated using methods determined by the Board of Trustees.

F. LINE OF CREDIT:
 
    The Trust, together with other DFA-advised portfolios, has entered into a
$50 million unsecured line of credit with its domestic custodian bank. Each
series is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a
maximum of $50 million. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the
current overnight federal funds rate plus a variable rate determined at the date
of borrowing. Each series is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line. There is no commitment fee on the unused
portion of the line of credit. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
by the Series during the year ended November 30, 1998.
 
G. SECURITIES LENDING:
 
    Loans of international securities are required at all times to be secured by
collateral at least equal to 105% of the market value of the securities on loan.
However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings. In the event that the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient
to cover the value of loaned securities and provided such collateral
insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has
agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the
lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Such cash collateral for November
30, 1998 was reinvested into overnight repurchase agreements with Salomon
Brothers, which was in turn collateralized by U.S. Government Treasury
Securities. At November 30, 1998, the market value of securities on loan to
brokers was $124,139,275, the related collateral cash received was $135,315,041
and the value of collateral on overnight repurchase agreements was $155,880,092.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of The DFA Investment Trust Company, The DFA
International Value Series, and the related statements of operations, and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The DFA Investment Trust Company,
The DFA International Value Series at November 30, 1998, the results of its
operations, changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of
the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at November 30, 1998 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
