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 two of our Fixed Income Investment Committees.
