Individuals
Individuals can invest in Dimensional strategies through a select group of financial advisors.
We believe an advisor can work closely with you to understand your financial needs and provide a range of wealth management services while encouraging the discipline essential to long-term investment success.
Dimensional’s Find an Advisor tool can help you locate an advisor near you.

“Knowing that someone has the incentive to work for you, rather than do something else, is pretty fundamental.”
Eugene Fama on Investing
People may invest for different reasons. But having a good outcome depends on understanding risk and taking a long-term view of markets. A qualified financial advisor can offer guidance and expertise in these and other areas. Eugene Fama, University of Chicago professor, Nobel laureate, and Dimensional Director, offers his perspective.
