                         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 consists of fifteen
portfolios, of which U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III (the "Portfolio") is
presented in this report.

    The Portfolio invests all of its assets in The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series (the "Series"), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust
Company. At November 30, 1999, the Portfolio owned 23% 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 the 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. The components of net assets may be adjusted for current
period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing
book/tax treatments of net short-term capital gain distributions from The DFA
Investment Trust Company. 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, 1999, 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.

</TABLE>

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
during the year ended November 30, 1999.

                       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, 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 U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III (constituting a portfolio within
the Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at
November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the year then ended,
the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended
and the 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, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

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:  Securities held by the Series which are listed on a
securities exchange and for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the last quoted sale price of the day, or if there is no such reported
sale, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Price
information 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.  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.

    3.  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 or with the Trust's
custodian or a third party sub-custodian. All open repurchase agreements were
entered into on November 30, 1999.

    4.  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.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:

    Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("DFA" or the "Advisor") provides investment
advisory services to the Series. For the year ended November 30, 1999, the
Series' advisory fees were computed daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based
on an effective annual rate of 0.10 of 1% of average daily net assets.

    Certain officers of the Series are also officers, directors and shareholders
of the Advisor.

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. Borrowings under the line of credit by the Series
for the year ended November 30, 1999 were as follows:

</TABLE>

    There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at
November 30, 1999.

G. SECURITIES LENDING:

    Loans of domestic securities are required at all times to be secured by
collateral at least equal to 102% 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, 1999 was reinvested into overnight repurchase agreements with JP Morgan
which was in turn collateralized by U.S. Government Treasury Securities. At
November 30, 1999, the market value of securities on loan to brokers was
$3,451,603, the related collateral cash received was $4,182,800 and the value of
collateral on overnight repurchase agreements was $4,271,078.

                       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, 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 U.S. Large Cap Value Series
(constituting a portfolio within The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter
referred to as the "Fund") at November 30, 1999, and the results of its
operations, the 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, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
