Overview
Investment Strategy
The goal of the Portfolio is to provide investors access to attractive investment opportunities in the U.S. and abroad, in both developed and developing markets. This approach can make the Davis Global ADR SMA a potential foundation for an investor's diversified equity portfolio.
The Portfolio applies our signature Davis Investment Discipline to seek durable, well-managed businesses at value prices and holding them for the long term.
Investing solely in U.S. stock funds may mean missing the tremendous growth opportunities and diversification potential that international companies provide.
"By being highly selective and rejecting the vast majority of companies in the index, we’ve uncovered businesses with highly attractive earnings growth, yet selling at some of the lowest valuations we have ever seen. We believe this sets the stage for attractive returns in the years ahead.”
– Portfolio Manager Chris Davis
