DFA MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO

AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made this 31^st day of January, 2022, by and between DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), on behalf of the DFA Municipal Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a separate series of the Fund, and DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISORS LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Manager”), amending and restating the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement dated January 22, 2020, to lower the fee rate paid to the Manager.

1.        Investment Advisory Services. The Fund hereby employs the Manager to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio, to review and supervise the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio, to determine in its discretion the securities and instruments to be purchased or sold and the portion of the Portfolio’s assets to be uninvested, to provide the Fund with records concerning the Manager’s activities which the Fund is required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the Fund’s officers and the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”), all in compliance with the investment objective(s), policies, and limitations set forth in the Portfolio’s registration statement, and applicable laws and regulations, or as the Fund may instruct the Manager in writing. The Manager accepts such employment and agrees to provide, at its own expense, the office space, furnishings and equipment, and the personnel required by it to perform the investment advisory services described herein on the terms and for the compensation provided herein.

2.        Portfolio Transactions. The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker, or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.

3.        Non-Investment Advisory Services. The Fund hereby employs the Manager to provide certain non-investment advisory services for the Portfolio, subject to the direction of the officers and the Board on the terms hereinafter set forth. Specifically, the

Manager shall perform or arrange for the performance, as applicable, at its own expense (except as provided in Section 4 or unless otherwise agreed to by the Manager and the Fund, in which case at the Fund’s expense), the following services to the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio to the extent that any such services are not otherwise provided by any other service provider to the Fund:
