Overview

Objectives

The Global Stock Fund seeks long-term growth of principal and income.

Investment approach

The Fund offers investors a highly selective, actively managed core global equity fund that invests in the U.S. and other developed countries as well as emerging markets, based on our analysis of fundamentals relative to current valuations. Generally, we:  

  • Target a diversified portfolio of equity securities, typically investing in medium-to-large, well-established companies that, in our opinion, appear to be temporarily undervalued by the stock market but have a favorable outlook for long-term growth.

  • Select individual securities based on our analyses of various factors—including a company’s financial strength, economic condition, competitive advantage, quality of the business franchise, financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, and the reputation, experience, and competence of its management—as weighed against valuation.

Please see the bottom of the page for definitions of key terms above.


Share class performance

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Fund performance changes over time and may be significantly lower than stated above. Performance is updated and published monthly. The Funds' total returns include dividends and interest income and reflect the deduction of expenses charged to the Funds. Index returns include dividends but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. Performance returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations.
The Fund is actively managed and uses the benchmark index for performance comparison purposes only.

    We believe investors benefit from our team-based approach to managing investments. Through close collaboration and debate, we bring our best ideas forward. The primary responsibilities of the Committee, whose members’ average tenure at Dodge & Cox is 26 years, include:
     

    • Setting and reviewing global equity investment strategy, and continually assessing opportunities and risks to the portfolio.
    • Evaluating and debating analyst recommendations and analyses to collaborate on buy, sell, and position-sizing decisions across individual holdings, sectors, and countries.
    • Overseeing the strategy’s implementation and monitoring portfolio holdings, making changes when appropriate.
