Each January, we provide an update on leadership changes at Dodge & Cox.
We evolve the composition of our firm and Committee leadership gradually over time to provide continuity of our investment philosophy, research process, and culture and to align with our goal of delivering excellent long-term performance to our clients.
This year, we are providing an update on the firm leadership succession we shared with you last year and announcing one planned departure that impacts our Global Fixed Income Investment Committee.
Firm Leadership Succession Complete

As planned, David Hoeft succeeded Dana as Chair and continues to serve as Chief Investment Officer. Roger Kuo succeeded Dana as Chief Executive Officer and retains the title of President.

After more than 27 years with Dodge & Cox, Jim Dignan will be leaving the firm on 30 June 2026. He will step off the Global Fixed Income Investment Committee on that date. We are grateful for Jim’s contributions to our firm and commitment to our clients, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.
