Overview

Investment Strategy

The goal of the Davis International Equity strategy is to provide a unique, actively managed solution for investors seeking to access highly durable, well-managed businesses that exist outside of the U.S. in both developed and developing markets.
 
Our Portfolio represents our highest conviction ideas in companies with long-term competitive advantages as well as strong and resilient earnings power. Based on our rigorous fundamental research, we seek to purchase companies at value prices and hold them for the long term.
 
Given our high conviction, benchmark agnostic approach, we believe the research-intensive Davis International Equity strategy merits consideration by institutional investors seeking truly active strategies.
 
Drawing upon over 50 years of experience in the business, our approach can make Davis International Equity a potential foundation for diversified equity portfolios.
