Correction

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the Reply section below for additional information about this request.

I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Dimensional Fund Advisors, I'm requesting a rewording of the article's 2nd to last sentence ("The firm sells through...") in addition to the removal of the last sentence, which is unsupported by the existing citations ("Some advisors charge less than 1%...").

The firm works with institutional investors and financial advisors as their products are typically not available to retail investors.^[1]^[2]

Edit request partially implemented

Y The requested sentences were removed.
N The proposed sentence additions were not added, as the information on whom the firm works with is already located in paragraph #2 of the article (e.g., "Institutional investors can access Dimensional funds directly or through their consultant. Individual investors can access Dimensional funds through financial professionals, or through their retirement plans (both 401k and defined benefit), or certain 529 college savings plans.")
