Under DFA’s books, your assets are in IFAST’s name and they are held under IFAST’s Client Trust account, separate from IFAST’s own assets. Under IFAST’s records, however, the assets are all held in your individual name.

This is similar to purchasing unit trusts through a bank, all the funds are held under the bank’s name while the bank keeps a record of your holdings.

In the unlikely event that IFAST ceases to operate, all the assets will either be transferred to another distributor or fully redeemed and returned to investor.
