Vice President
Dimensional Fund Advisors
Arthur H.F. Barlow is a senior member of the Financial Advisor Services group. Beginning work at Dimensional in 1989 while still a graduate student, Art started full-time in 1990 as a general portfolio manager, trading securities for all of Dimensional's US products. In 1991 he transferred to the non-US equities trading desk and managed the European components of Dimensional's strategies. This led to a move to London in 1992, where he opened an office for the firm and continued to trade for the European portfolios in London, expanding the office to include two portfolio managers and two trading assistants.
In 1993, Art returned to Los Angeles as the senior equity portfolio manager on the desk responsible for all of Dimensional's international equity products as well as operations in London and Sydney, Australia. Having set up trading desks and systems, Art's responsibilities naturally evolved into being in charge of the information systems across the firm, which he managed until moving to the Financial Advisor Services group in 2004.
Art received his MBA in finance from the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles and holds a B.A. in economics from UCLA.
