Dodge & Cox Portfolio holdings
Dodge & Cox, founded in 1930 by Van Duyn Dodge and E. Morris Cox in San Francisco, California, is an independent, employee-owned investment management firm renowned for its disciplined, value-oriented approach to long-term investing. Managing over $350 billion in assets as of late 2024, the firm offers a concise lineup of mutual funds and separate accounts focusing on U.S. and international equities, fixed income, and balanced portfolios, serving individual and institutional investors with a low-turnover, research-driven strategy. Known for its team-based decision-making and contrarian stance—buying undervalued securities others overlook—Dodge & Cox has maintained a consistent philosophy through decades, avoiding trend-chasing and emphasizing fundamentals, even during market volatility like the 2008 crisis. With a tight-knit team of about 300 employees and no proprietary trading, the firm’s commitment to simplicity, low fees, and client alignment has earned it a loyal following and a reputation as a steadfast player in asset management.
