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.

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.
