Investment objective
The Fund’s objective is to provide shareholders with an opportunity for long-term growth of principal and income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities from at least three different countries located anywhere in the world, including Emerging Market Countries. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its Net Asset Value in securities of non-U.S. companies, excluding non-U.S. companies included in the S&P 500 Index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Net Asset Value in common stocks, preferred stocks, certain securities convertible into common stocks, and securities that carry the right to buy common stocks, including ADRs, EDRs, and GDRs. The Fund may invest up to 5% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value directly in Russian securities.

Our view

person-circle-filled

Why we like the fund: This is a relatively concentrated fund investing in companies across the world. It focuses primarily on developed markets, like the US, Europe, UK, Japan and Australasia, but will also invest smaller amounts in emerging markets, like parts of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The managers are ‘value’ investors, often buying companies with depressed share prices; they have been investing on this basis for decades. Dodge & Cox is an employee-owned business which offers a limited number of funds. Having a firm-wide investment philosophy enables the culture to thrive. It is well-established, with many highly experienced investors. How to use the fund: This is 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 have depressed share prices. As a ‘value’ fund this would likely blend well with another global equity fund that focuses on ‘quality’, such as the BNY Mellon Long-Term Global Equity Fund.
