Dodge & Cox

Helping clients steer clear of financial potholes is all in a day's work for Dodge & Cox. Founded in 1930, the value investor manages mutual funds and separate accounts, focusing on steady current income and long-term growth. Its mutual fund products include domestic, global, and international stock funds, a balanced fund, and an income fund that is invested in bonds and other fixed-income securities. Other offerings include IRAs and private client accounts for high-net-worth customers. The company also serves corporations, retirement funds, and not-for-profits. Employee-owned Dodge & Cox, which shies from publicity (even advertising), has more than $110 billion in assets under management.
