Investment objective

The Fund’s primary objective is to provide shareholders with an opportunity for long-term growth of principal and income. A secondary objective is to seek to achieve a reasonable current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Net Asset Value in equity securities, including common stocks, depositary receipts evidencing ownership of common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and securities that carry the right to buy common stocks. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Net Asset Value in U.S. Dollar-denominated securities of non U.S. companies traded in the U.S. (such as ADRs) that are not included in the S&P 500 Index.

Our view

Why we like the fund: This is a relatively concentrated fund investing in listed companies in the United States. The manager is a 'value' investor, adopting a contrarian approach and often buying companies with depressed share prices. It has been investing on this basis for decades. Dodge & Cox is employee-owned, with a firm-wide investment philosophy, and offers only a handful of funds. It is well-established, with many highly experienced investors. How to use the fund: This could be a sensible choice for an investor with a long time-horizon of ten years or more. Dodge & Cox often buys companies which are struggling in the near term and so have depressed share prices, which makes it a 'value investor.' As such, the fund would likely blend well with another US equity fund that focuses on 'quality,' such as the Brown Advisory US Sustainable Growth Fund.
