About Dodge

Dodge and Cox specializes in value investing and has been described as "best known for its conservatively managed funds with solid track records and modest fees." Having been created during the Great Depression, the firm has "a razor sharp focus on capital preservation". Co-founder E. Morris Cox, who worked at the firm into his 90s, objected to widespread practices he considered unethical during the early 20th Century history of investment banking and thus Dodge & Cox developed policies putting customer interests as a top priority. Dodge & Cox practices a team-based management strategy and as of 2020, the firm had US$325 billion in assets under management, and one of their funds was among the largest 25 American mutual funds.
