Dimensional Fund Advisors LP reports holding 915,049 shares of USANA Health Sciences Inc common stock, representing 5.0% of the class. The filing states that the reported shares are owned by investment funds advised or sub‑advised by Dimensional, which disclaims beneficial ownership and says the holdings are managed in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control. Of the reported shares, Dimensional asserts sole voting power over 887,817 shares and sole dispositive power over 915,049 shares; no shared voting or dispositive power is reported.
The statement clarifies these holdings arise from Dimensional’s advisory roles to registered investment companies, commingled funds, group trusts and separate accounts and that no single Fund listed is known to hold more than 5% of the class. The filing includes the required certification by Dimensional’s compliance officer.
Positive
Aggregated position of 915,049 shares confirms meaningful institutional interest in USNA

Negative
None.
Insights
Passive adviser holdings at the 5% threshold highlight standard index/quant exposure, not control intent.
The filing shows an aggregated position of 915,049 shares, equal to 5.0% of the class, held across funds for which Dimensional provides advisory services. The statement that the securities are "owned by the Funds" and that Dimensional "disclaims beneficial ownership" is consistent with asset managers reporting aggregated positions while attributing underlying legal ownership to client vehicles.
Key dependencies are the composition of the underlying Funds and their investment mandates; because the filing asserts the position is held in the ordinary course and not to influence control, near‑term governance actions are unlikely. Monitor any future amendments that would show increased voting coordination or a rise above the 5.0% threshold.
Voting and dispositive powers are concentrated within Dimensional’s advisory role, reflecting portfolio-level decision authority.
The schedule reports sole voting power over 887,817 shares and sole dispositive power over 915,049 shares, with no shared powers disclosed. That pattern aligns with a manager executing trading and proxy instructions for client accounts rather than a single beneficial owner directing strategy.
Practical items to watch include any subsequent filings showing changes in the number of shares, voting power breakdowns, or a shift from passive to active intent; such changes would be material to investors and could alter stewardship expectations.
