To Our Shareholders
We are pleased to report that 2005 was the sixth consecutive year that the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund outperformed the Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) Index. For 2005, the Fund returned 9.4% compared to 4.9% for the S&P 500. At year end, the Fund had net assets of $52.2 billion with a cash position of 4.6%.
The table on page two shows the Fund’s longer-term results compared to the S&P 500. As we have written in past letters, the Fund’s favorable five-year annualized return of 11.0%, versus 0.6% for the S&P 500, is largely the product of decisions made to avoid the “growth” stock speculation that reached its crescendo in the spring of 2000. The ten-year annualized return incorporates the late 1990s when the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 as growth stock valuations ascended.
As investors in the Fund, you should understand that while we are cautiously optimistic about the potential for the Fund’s current investments, we do not expect these favorable long-term returns relative to the S&P 500 to be repeated.
Looking Back
During the late 1990s, investors were concerned about weak global demand for commodities and other industrial goods. As a result, the Fund was able to become a part owner of a number of Energy, Materials, and Industrials businesses at discount prices. In contrast, fascination with the internet led other investors to bid up valuations of Technology and Telecommunications stocks. At the peak of the internet stock mania in December 1999, the Fund had 27% of its assets invested in Energy and Materials stocks.
Energy stocks in particular have been strong contributors to the Fund’s recent performance. In 2005, as the price for a barrel of oil rose from $43 to $61, the Fund’s Energy holdings were up over 30% as a group (e.g., Amerada Hess up 56%, Unocal up 55% and ConocoPhillips up 37%). Over the past couple of years, as investors have become more optimistic about the continued strong global demand for oil and commodities and energy company valuations have risen, we have found what we believe to be more compelling opportunities in other areas of the market. As a consequence, we have been reducing the Fund’s exposure to Energy and Materials stocks, which now represent just under 15% of the Fund.
The Fund’s performance also benefited from its Technology holdings, which were up 11% as a group (e.g., Hewlett-Packard up 38% and Motorola up 32%) compared to 1% for the S&P 500 sector. Other holdings contributing to the Fund’s 2005 return included Rio Tinto (up 57%), WellPoint (up 39%) and HCA (up 28%).
On a negative note, as we detailed last quarter, we sold the Fund’s investment in Delphi (at a loss of 96% of its value from the beginning of 2005) after the company filed for bankruptcy in early October. Delphi illustrates that we do make mistakes, although we continually strive to learn from them. Delphi also illustrates the importance of portfolio diversification, as no single investment’s poor performance weighs too heavily on total results.
Looking Forward
Over the past six years the investment landscape has changed, and we now face a new set of opportunities. We are encouraged about the road ahead because 1) the range of valuations in the equity market has compressed dramatically, meaning investors no longer have to pay large premiums to own companies with attractive long-term growth prospects; and 2) the global economy continues to expand rapidly, meaning millions of consumers, particularly from the developing world, are gaining more purchasing power.
As valuations within the equity market have narrowed, we have made new investments, one stock at a time, in areas that were once considered “growth” segments of the market: Technology, Media, Telecommunications and Healthcare. As of year end, 39% of the Fund was invested in these industries, compared to only 16% six years ago. Valuations moved lower during 2005 in many Media and Pharmaceutical stocks, and the Fund’s investments in these areas were particularly weak. For instance, Comcast was down 22%, News Corp. was down 16%, Time Warner was down 10%, and Pfizer was down 11%. We continue to believe the long-term prospects for these companies are favorable, and we added to the Fund’s holdings as the share price decreased in value throughout the year.
As the global economy continues to integrate and an increasing number of countries adopt free-market capitalistic policies, it becomes less important where a company is domiciled and more important where a company competes. Moreover, U.S.-based companies are becoming increasingly dependent on the global economy for growth. For example, 37 of the Fund’s U.S.-based holdings, representing over 40% of the Fund, derive at least one-quarter of their revenues from outside of North America. A global research perspective is paramount. Over the past ten years we have dramatically increased our coverage of foreign companies, and in 2001 established our International Stock Fund, confirming our investment team’s global view. In addition to the U.S. companies with foreign sales, 18% of the Fund is now invested in 15 multinational companies based outside the U.S.
While the investment landscape has changed over the past six years, Dodge & Cox has not. The nine people on our Investment Policy
| | |
1 / Dodge & Cox Stock Fund | | |
Committee who manage the Fund have an average tenure at Dodge & Cox of 23 years, and employ the same investment philosophy our firm has used since the 1930s. Our Investment Policy Committee and our team of 20 global industry analysts manage the Fund by first asking a basic question: Do we want to become part owner of a company for the next three-to-five years, given its current price and our assessment of the probable cash flow and earnings growth over the long term?
Our optimism about the new opportunities presented by the expanding global economy and by lower valuations in former “growth” stocks is tempered somewhat by the fact that most companies are operating very efficiently as evidenced by historically high profit margins. Profitability tends to be cyclical, so there is a risk that margins will eventually decrease. The potential for higher inflation and interest rates also gives us pause, but we are optimistic that, while there will undoubtedly be potholes along the way, over the long-term the Fund is well positioned. In our rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, we will continue our efforts to uncover attractive investment opportunities.
In Closing
We welcome back John Taylor as an Independent Trustee of the Dodge & Cox Funds. Mr. Taylor was elected at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 2nd and previously served on the Board from January 1998 until March 2001, prior to his 2001 appointment as Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for International Affairs.
We are also pleased to announce that on December 31st, John Gunn became Chief Executive Officer of Dodge & Cox. Harry Hagey, the firm’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since 1992, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Investment Policy Committee until his retirement at the end of 2006. Also on December 31st, longstanding Dodge & Cox employees Ken Olivier and Dana Emery were named the firm’s President and Executive Vice President, respectively.
Thank you for the continued confidence you have placed in our firm as a shareholder of the Stock Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.
For the Board of Trustees,

Fund Expense Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.
The following example shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The example assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information on the second line of the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio of the Fund and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). The amount under the heading “Expense Paid During the Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other mutual funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/2005 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/2005 | | Expenses Paid During Period* |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,086.40 | | $ | 2.71 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.60 | | | 2.63 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio of 0.52%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
The expenses shown in the table highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. While other mutual funds may charge such fees, please note that the Fund does not charge transaction fees (e.g., redemption fees, sales loads) or universal account maintenance fees (e.g., small account fees).

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on January 4, 1965, and seeks long-term growth of principal and income. Risk considerations and investment strategies of the Fund are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus. The Fund is closed to new investors.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation. The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Stocks are valued at the official quoted close price or the last sale of the day at the close of the NYSE or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange listed bid and ask prices for the day. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends or corporate actions from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. The Fund may estimate the character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities which involve the purchase of securities from a counterparty with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities at an agreed-upon date and price. It is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
Note 2 — Related Party Transactions
Management fees. Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets to Dodge & Cox, investment manager of the Fund. The agreement further provides that Dodge & Cox shall waive its fee to the extent that such fee plus all other ordinary operating expenses of the Fund exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets for the year.
Fund officers and trustees. All officers and four of the trustees of the Trust are officers or employees of Dodge & Cox. The Trust pays a fee only to those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox.
Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities
| | |
| | Dodge & Cox Stock Fund / 8 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnities to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
Note 3 — Income Tax Information
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders.
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatment of net short-term realized gain and in-kind redemptions. At December 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting purposes.
In 2005, the Fund recognized net realized gain of $65,978,762 from the delivery of appreciated securities in an in-kind redemption
transaction. For federal income tax purposes, this gain is not recognized as taxable income to the Fund and therefore will not be distributed to shareholders.
Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | |
Ordinary income ($1.941 per share) | | $ | 697,551,960 |
Long-term capital gain ($3.094 per share) | | | 1,135,842,360 |
| |
|
|
Total distributions ($5.035 per share) | | $ | 1,833,394,320 |
| |
|
|
At December 31, 2005, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 12,861,038,449 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (307,649,229 | ) |
| |
|
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 12,553,389,220 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 2,668,828 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 101,090,310 | |
Note 4 — Purchase and Sales of Investments
For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $11,016,784,635 and $5,534,381,890, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Dodge & Cox Funds and Shareholders of Dodge & Cox Stock Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Funds’ Investment Management Agreements and Management Fees (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Dodge & Cox Funds’ investment manager and determining whether to continue the Investment Management Agreements between the Funds and Dodge & Cox each year (the “Agreements”). At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust
held on December 16, 2005, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the renewal of the Agreements for an additional one-year term through December 31, 2006. During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Dodge & Cox and the performance of the Funds.
Information Received
In advance of the meeting, the Board, including each of the Independent Trustees, requested, received and reviewed materials relating to the Agreements. The Independent Trustees retained Morningstar® to prepare an independent expense and performance summary for each Fund and comparable funds managed by other advisers identified by Morningstar®. The Morningstar® materials included information regarding advisory fee rates, expense ratios, and transfer agency, custodial and distribution expenses, as well as performance comparisons to an appropriate index or combination of indices. The materials reviewed by the Board also included information concerning Dodge & Cox’s profitability, financial results and condition, including advisory fee revenue and separate account advisory fee schedules. The Board additionally considered the Funds’ brokerage commissions, turnover rates and sales and redemption data for the Funds, including “soft dollar” payments made for research benefiting the Funds and other accounts managed by Dodge & Cox, and brokerage commissions and expenses paid by Dodge & Cox. Other aspects of Dodge & Cox’s services to the Funds which were reviewed included compliance and supervision of third-party service providers (e.g., custodian, “blue sky” administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant), shareholder servicing, accounting and administrative services, web services, the character of non-advisory services, the record of compliance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and the Funds’ Code of Ethics, investment management staffing and biographies, information furnished to investors and shareholders (including the Funds’ prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports, and quarterly reports), and third-party retirement plan administrator reimbursements by Dodge & Cox for the same periods.
The Board received a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements and copies of the Agreements. The Trust’s Governance Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 1, 2005 to discuss whether to renew the Agreements. The Board, including the
| | |
| | Dodge & Cox Stock Fund / 12 |
Independent Trustees, subsequently concluded that the existing Agreements are fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Agreements.
In considering the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor or particular information as all-important or controlling. In reaching the decision to approve the Agreements, the Board, which was advised by Independent Legal Counsel, considered the following factors, among others, and reached the conclusions described below.
Nature, Quality, and Extent of the Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of portfolio management, administrative and shareholder services performed by Dodge & Cox, including: Dodge & Cox’s established long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; demonstrated consistency in investment approach and depth, background and experience of the Dodge & Cox Investment Policy Committee, International Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Strategy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; frequent favorable recognition of Dodge & Cox and the Funds in the media and industry publications; Dodge & Cox’s performance in the areas of compliance, administration and shareholder communication and services, supervision of Fund operations and general oversight of other service providers; favorable peer group comparisons of expense ratios, management fee comparisons, expenses (e.g., transfer agent, custody and other fees and expenses) and asset comparisons and performance and risk summaries prepared independently by Morningstar® and favorable fiduciary grade and “Star” rankings by Morningstar®. The Board also acknowledged Dodge & Cox’s decision to close its institutional equity and balanced separate account business and had previously voted, at the recommendation of Dodge & Cox, to close the Stock and Balanced Funds to control the pace of growth. The Board also acknowledged that the services provided by Dodge & Cox are extensive in nature and that Dodge & Cox consistently delivered a high level of service. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment management and other services provided to the Funds by Dodge & Cox.
Investment Performance
The Board considered short-term and long-term investment performance for each Fund (including periods of outperformance or underperformance) as compared to both relevant indices and the performance of such Fund’s peer group. While not dispositive in the
determination, performance information prepared by Morningstar® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated to the Board a consistent pattern of favorable performance for investors and, in most instances, the Funds have outperformed their peer groups for short and long-term periods. The Board also noted that the strong investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the performance delivered for other (non-Fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox delivers favorable performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.
Costs and Ancillary Benefits
Costs of Services to Funds: Fees and Expenses. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee rates and expense ratios relative to industry averages for similar mutual funds and relative to management fees charged by Dodge & Cox to other (non-fund) clients. The Board evaluated the operating structures of the Funds and Dodge & Cox—which included a centralized focus on investment management operations, outsourcing of non-advisory support services to unaffiliated third-party service providers, avoiding the practice of charging front-end sales commissions or distribution fees, having Dodge & Cox pay for distribution-related costs and reimbursements to third-party retirement plan administrators, receiving numerous administrative, regulatory compliance, and shareholder support services from Dodge & Cox without any additional administrative fee, and achieving relatively low transaction costs and portfolio turnover rates. The Board noted that the Funds are substantially below peer group averages in expense ratios and management fee rates. The Board also noted that the range of services under the Agreements is much more extensive than under Dodge & Cox’s separate advisory (non-fund) client agreements, and that there are reasonable justifications for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services it receives (including the management fee paid to Dodge & Cox) are reasonable and that the fees are acceptable based upon the qualifications, experience, reputation, and performance of Dodge & Cox and the low overall expense ratios of the Funds.
Profitability and Costs of Services to Dodge & Cox; “Fall-out” Benefits. The Board reviewed reports of Dodge & Cox’s financial position, profitability and estimated overall value, and they considered Dodge & Cox’s overall profitability within its context as a private, employee-owned S-Corporation and relative to the favorable services provided. The Board considered recent increases to Dodge & Cox’s gross revenues, and noted the importance of Dodge & Cox’s profitability—which is derived solely from management fees and
| | |
13 / Dodge & Cox Stock Fund | | |
does not include other business ventures—to maintain its independence, company culture and ethics, and management continuity. They noted that Dodge & Cox’s profitability is enhanced due to its efficient internal business model, and that the compensation/profit structure at Dodge & Cox is vital for remaining independent and facilitating retention of its management and investment professionals. They also noted that Dodge & Cox has voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Stock and Balanced Funds to new investors and by not taking on new equity and balanced separate account clients. The Board noted that these actions were financially disadvantageous to Dodge & Cox, but illustrated a commitment to act in the best interest of existing Fund shareholders and separate account clients. The Board considered potential “fall-out” benefits (including the receipt of research from unaffiliated brokers) that Dodge & Cox might receive in its association with the Funds, and they concluded that these benefits are reasonable in light of Dodge & Cox’s well established stand-alone separate account business. The Board also noted the extent of additional administrative services performed by Dodge & Cox for the Funds, and that the magnitude of costs and risks borne by Dodge & Cox in rendering advisory services to the Funds (including risks in the compliance, securities valuation and investment management processes) are increasing. The Board concluded that the profitability of Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.
The Benefit of Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the management fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund assets and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board noted that considerable efficiencies of the Funds’ organization and fee structure have been realized by shareholders at the outset of their investment (i.e., from the first dollar), such as management fee rates that start lower than industry and many peer group averages and management fees and overall expense ratios that are lower than averages for peer group funds with approximately the same level of assets. Shareholders also realize efficiencies from the outset of their investment due to organizational efficiencies involved with Dodge & Cox’s investment management process and with avoiding distribution and marketing structures whose costs would ultimately be borne by the Funds. The Board noted that Dodge & Cox’s internal costs of providing investment management, administrative, and compliance services to the Funds have increased. The Board’s decision to renew the Agreements was made
after consideration of economies of scale and review of comparable fund expense ratios and historical expense ratio patterns for the Funds. Their review also included consideration of the desirability of adding breakpoints to the Funds’ fee schedules. The Board concluded that the current Dodge & Cox fee structure is fair and reasonable and adequately reflect economies of scale.
Conclusion
Based on their evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable, that each Fund was paying a competitive fee for the services provided, that the scope and quality of Dodge & Cox’s services has provided substantial value for Fund shareholders over the long-term, and that approval of the Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

To Our Shareholders
The Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund had a total return of 16.7% in 2005, compared to a total return of 13.5% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) benchmark. Since inception on May 1, 2001 through year end, the Fund had an annualized total return of 14.3% compared to 6.7% for the MSCI EAFE. The table on page two shows the Fund’s long-term results compared to the MSCI EAFE. At year end, the Fund had net assets of $13.4 billion and a cash position of 6.3%.
Performance Review
For the year, the Fund performed well on an absolute basis and relative to the MSCI EAFE. The following factors were major contributors to performance.
• | | The Fund’s investments in the Energy sector averaged a total return of 39% compared to 18% for the MSCI EAFE Energy sector. Notable performers included Petroleo Brasileiro and Schlumberger, which had total returns of 88% and 46%, respectively. |
• | | The Fund’s investments in the Financials sector averaged a total return of 23% compared to 15% for the MSCI EAFE sector. Notable performers included three commercial banks: Uniao de Banco Brasileiros (up 106%) in Brazil, Kookmin Bank (up 91%) in South Korea, and Mitsubishi UFJ (up 36%) in Japan. |
• | | Investments in the emerging markets were up with Latin America particularly strong (up 58%). |
In contrast, the Fund’s investments in the Information Technology sector hurt performance, returning -1% compared to 11% for the MSCI EAFE sector. The major detractor was Seiko Epson, a Japanese maker of printers and LCD screens, which was down 43% for the year. Shinsei Bank (down 15%) also hurt results for the year.
In 2005, changes in foreign currencies had an overall negative effect on the Fund’s performance. U.S. dollar appreciation against developed market currencies (e.g., the Euro and the Japanese Yen) was a significant performance headwind, but was slightly offset by dollar depreciation against emerging market currencies (e.g., the Brazilian Real and Korean Won). As always, we focus on the medium and long-term effects of currency changes on a company’s operations and finances, not on predicting short-term currency fluctuations.
Sticking to Our Disciplined Investment Approach
In evaluating investment opportunities for the Fund, we look for durable business franchises at low-to-reasonable valuations. We
seek companies that have good prospects for long-term earnings and cash-flow growth, and management teams working for the long-term shareholder. We have the opportunity to make these types of investments because our four-to-five year investment horizon allows us to look beyond short-term concerns which descend on even the best of companies. Short-term concerns about a company’s prospects can depress its valuation and may result in a long-term investment opportunity. Conversely, overly optimistic expectations about a company’s prospects can result in disappointing future returns.
During 2005, valuations for international equities continued to rise in recognition of higher profitability around the globe. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive companies in the market has also compressed.
We significantly reduced the Fund’s weightings in the Materials and Energy sectors during the year. Companies in these sectors had comprised approximately one-quarter of the portfolio and performed well due to large increases in the prices of oil, metals and other raw materials. For example, metals and mining companies Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton were up 59% and 41%, respectively, as prices for several metals and bulk commodities reached all-time highs. While we believe the long-term demand prospects for these companies’ products are attractive, expectations of continued high prices and robust demand growth appear to be factored into the valuations. Though we have reduced the Fund’s exposure to companies in these two areas, they still represented approximately 18% of the Fund at year end.
In contrast, we added to the Fund’s holdings in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors as valuations became more attractive. These additions significantly increased the Fund’s exposure to companies participating in areas of technological innovation and to companies benefiting from growth in the developing world. For example, we invested in Nokia, the world’s leading cell phone maker with market-leading positions in the developing world, as the valuation became attractive in 2005.
In addition, we raised the Fund’s positions in GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi-Aventis—two of the three largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. These companies are trading at comparable valuations to their peers but have promising research pipelines with several drugs in the later stages of the FDA approval process. Sanofi-Aventis, for instance, has one of the best research and development portfolios in the industry, a new obesity drug that could be very successful, an impressive management team, and a global reach with about 15% of profits from the emerging markets. We discuss
| | |
1 / Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund | | |
the companies above to illustrate our investment approach, not because we believe they are more attractive than the Fund’s other holdings.
In Closing
The performance of the Fund and international equity markets has been exceptional over the past three years—on an annualized basis the Fund was up 32.2% and the MSCI EAFE was up 23.7%. We do not think this level of returns is sustainable and encourage shareholders to have more conservative expectations of future returns.
We welcome back John Taylor as an Independent Trustee of the Dodge & Cox Funds. Mr. Taylor was elected at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 2nd and previously served on the Board from January 1998 until March 2001, prior to his 2001 appointment as Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for International Affairs.
We are also pleased to announce that on December 31st, John Gunn became Chief Executive Officer of Dodge & Cox. Harry Hagey, the firm’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since 1992, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Investment Policy Committee until his retirement at the end of 2006. Also on December 31st, longstanding Dodge & Cox employees Ken Olivier and Dana Emery were named the firm’s President and Executive Vice President, respectively.
Thank you for the continued confidence you have placed in our firm as a shareholder of the International Stock Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.
Sincerely,

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Mutual fund performance changes over time and currently may be significantly lower than stated above. Performance is updated and published monthly. Visit the Fund’s web site at www.dodgeandcox.com or call 1-800-621-3979 for current performance figures.
* | | Expense reimbursements were paid by Dodge & Cox from the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2003 to maintain operating expenses at 0.90%. Accordingly, without the expense reimbursements, the Fund’s returns prior to June 30, 2003 would have been lower. |
The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted for any income taxes payable on these distributions. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) is a widely recognized benchmark of the world’s stock markets, excluding the United States. Index returns include dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses.
Morgan Stanley®, Morgan Stanley Capital International, and EAFE® are trademarks of Morgan Stanley.
Risks of International Investing: Foreign investing, especially in developing countries,
has special risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability.
These and other risk considerations are
discussed in the Fund’s prospectus.

Fund Expense Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.
The following example shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The example assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information on the second line of the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio of the Fund and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). The amount under the heading “Expense Paid During the Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/2005 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/2005 | | Expenses Paid During Period* |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,147.60 | | $ | 3.72 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.74 | | | 3.50 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio of 0.69%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
The expenses shown in the table highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. While other mutual funds may charge such fees, please note that the Fund does not charge transaction fees (e.g., redemption fees, sales loads) or universal account maintenance fees (e.g., small account fees).

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s predecessor, Dodge & Cox International Equity Fund, L.L.C. (the “LLC”), was organized on October 25, 1999 as a private investment company that converted into, and had the same investment manager as, the Fund. The Fund was capitalized on April 30, 2001 upon the transfer of assets from the LLC and commenced operations on May 1, 2001. The Fund seeks long-term growth of principal and income, and the Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of foreign stocks. Foreign investing, especially in developing countries, has special risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation. The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Listed securities are valued at market, using as a price the official quoted close price or the last sale on the date of determination on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange listed bid and ask prices for the day. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. Foreign securities are converted to U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates.
If market quotations are not readily available or if a security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary market but before the close of trading on the NYSE, the security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. The Fund may use fair value pricing in calculating its NAV when, for example, (i) the primary
market for a security is closed or if trading of a security is suspended or limited, (ii) the Fund determines that the price provided by a pricing service is inaccurate or unreliable, or (iii) the Fund determines that a significant event affecting the value of a security has occurred before the close of the NYSE but after the close of the security’s primary market. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying a resulting change in value. For securities that do not trade during NYSE hours, fair value determinations are based on analyses of market movements after the close of those securities’ primary markets, and include reviews of developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. Pricing services are used to obtain closing market prices and to compute certain fair value adjustments utilizing computerized pricing models. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
Foreign currency translation. Assets (including investments) and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the end of the reporting period. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign currency gains and losses may arise from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, sales of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received, and from currency gains and losses between trade and settlement date on security transactions. The effects of exchange rate changes on investment securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
Foreign currency contracts. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities, it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transaction. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract’s terms.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends or corporate actions from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities which involve the purchase of securities from a counterparty with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities at an agreed-upon date and price. It is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
Note 2 — Related Party Transactions
Management fees. Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets to Dodge & Cox, investment manager of the Fund.
Fund officers and trustees. All officers and four of the trustees of the Trust are officers or employees of Dodge & Cox. The Trust pays a fee only to those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox.
Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnities to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
Note 3 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.
Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term realized gain and foreign currency realized gain (loss). At December 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting purposes.
Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | |
Ordinary income ($.394 per share) | | $ | 145,983,315 |
Long-term capital gain ($.347 per share) | | | 128,673,370 |
| |
|
|
Total distributions ($.741 per share) | | $ | 274,656,685 |
| |
|
|
At December 31, 2005, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 2,098,881,677 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (184,153,096 | ) |
| |
|
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 1,914,728,581 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 7,068,992 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 22,647,399 | |
Deferred loss* | | | (886,048 | ) |
* | | Represents net realized loss incurred between November 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund has elected to treat this loss as arising in 2006. |
Note 4 — Purchase and Sales of Investments
For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $7,817,237,678 and $580,485,696, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Dodge & Cox Funds and Shareholders of Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Funds’ Investment Management Agreements and Management Fees (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Dodge & Cox Funds’ investment manager and determining whether to continue the Investment Management
Agreements between the Funds and Dodge & Cox each year (the “Agreements”). At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on December 16, 2005, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the renewal of the Agreements for an additional one-year term through December 31, 2006. During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Dodge & Cox and the performance of the Funds.
Information Received
In advance of the meeting, the Board, including each of the Independent Trustees, requested, received and reviewed materials relating to the Agreements. The Independent Trustees retained Morningstar® to prepare an independent expense and performance summary for each Fund and comparable funds managed by other advisers identified by Morningstar®. The Morningstar® materials included information regarding advisory fee rates, expense ratios, and transfer agency, custodial and distribution expenses, as well as performance comparisons to an appropriate index or combination of indices. The materials reviewed by the Board also included information concerning Dodge & Cox’s profitability, financial results and condition, including advisory fee revenue and separate account advisory fee schedules. The Board additionally considered the Funds’ brokerage commissions, turnover rates and sales and redemption data for the Funds, including “soft dollar” payments made for research benefiting the Funds and other accounts managed by Dodge & Cox, and brokerage commissions and expenses paid by Dodge & Cox. Other aspects of Dodge & Cox’s services to the Funds which were reviewed included compliance and supervision of third-party service providers (e.g., custodian, “blue sky” administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant), shareholder servicing, accounting and administrative services, web services, the character of non-advisory services, the record of compliance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and the Funds’ Code of Ethics, investment management staffing and biographies, information furnished to investors and shareholders (including the Funds’ prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports, and quarterly reports), and third-party retirement plan administrator reimbursements by Dodge & Cox for the same periods.
The Board received a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements and copies of the Agreements. The Trust’s

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, subsequently concluded that the existing Agreements are fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Agreements.
In considering the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor or particular information as all-important or controlling. In reaching the decision to approve the Agreements, the Board, which was advised by Independent Legal Counsel, considered the following factors, among others, and reached the conclusions described below.
Nature, Quality, and Extent of the Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of portfolio management, administrative and shareholder services performed by Dodge & Cox, including: Dodge & Cox’s established long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; demonstrated consistency in investment approach and depth, background and experience of the Dodge & Cox Investment Policy Committee, International Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Strategy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; frequent favorable recognition of Dodge & Cox and the Funds in the media and industry publications; Dodge & Cox’s performance in the areas of compliance, administration and shareholder communication and services, supervision of Fund operations and general oversight of other service providers; favorable peer group comparisons of expense ratios, management fee comparisons, expenses (e.g., transfer agent, custody and other fees and expenses) and asset comparisons and performance and risk summaries prepared independently by Morningstar® and favorable fiduciary grade and “Star” rankings by Morningstar®. The Board also acknowledged Dodge & Cox’s decision to close its institutional equity and balanced separate account business and had previously voted, at the recommendation of Dodge & Cox, to close the Stock and Balanced Funds to control the pace of growth. The Board also acknowledged that the services provided by Dodge & Cox are extensive in nature and that Dodge & Cox consistently delivered a high level of service. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment management and other services provided to the Funds by Dodge & Cox.
Investment Performance
The Board considered short-term and long-term investment performance for each Fund (including periods of outperformance
or underperformance) as compared to both relevant indices and the performance of such Fund’s peer group. While not dispositive in the determination, performance information prepared by Morningstar® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated to the Board a consistent pattern of favorable performance for investors and, in most instances, the Funds have outperformed their peer groups for short and long-term periods. The Board also noted that the strong investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the performance delivered for other (non-Fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox delivers favorable performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.
Costs and Ancillary Benefits
Costs of Services to Funds: Fees and Expenses. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee rates and expense ratios relative to industry averages for similar mutual funds and relative to management fees charged by Dodge & Cox to other (non-fund) clients. The Board evaluated the operating structures of the Funds and Dodge & Cox—which included a centralized focus on investment management operations, outsourcing of non-advisory support services to unaffiliated third-party service providers, avoiding the practice of charging front-end sales commissions or distribution fees, having Dodge & Cox pay for distribution-related costs and reimbursements to third-party retirement plan administrators, receiving numerous administrative, regulatory compliance, and shareholder support services from Dodge & Cox without any additional administrative fee, and achieving relatively low transaction costs and portfolio turnover rates. The Board noted that the Funds are substantially below peer group averages in expense ratios and management fee rates. The Board also noted that the range of services under the Agreements is much more extensive than under Dodge & Cox’s separate advisory (non-fund) client agreements, and that there are reasonable justifications for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services it receives (including the management fee paid to Dodge & Cox) are reasonable and that the fees are acceptable based upon the qualifications, experience, reputation, and performance of Dodge & Cox and the low overall expense ratios of the Funds.
Profitability and Costs of Services to Dodge & Cox; “Fall-out” Benefits. The Board reviewed reports of Dodge & Cox’s financial position, profitability and estimated overall value, and they considered Dodge & Cox’s overall profitability within its context as a private, employee-owned S-Corporation and relative to the favorable
| | |

services provided. The Board considered recent increases to Dodge & Cox’s gross revenues, and noted the importance of Dodge & Cox’s profitability—which is derived solely from management fees and does not include other business ventures—to maintain its independence, company culture and ethics, and management continuity. They noted that Dodge & Cox’s profitability is enhanced due to its efficient internal business model, and that the compensation/profit structure at Dodge & Cox is vital for remaining independent and facilitating retention of its management and investment professionals. They also noted that Dodge & Cox has voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Stock and Balanced Funds to new investors and by not taking on new equity and balanced separate account clients. The Board noted that these actions were financially disadvantageous to Dodge & Cox, but illustrated a commitment to act in the best interest of existing Fund shareholders and separate account clients. The Board considered potential “fall-out” benefits (including the receipt of research from unaffiliated brokers) that Dodge & Cox might receive in its association with the Funds, and they concluded that these benefits are reasonable in light of Dodge & Cox’s well established stand-alone separate account business. The Board also noted the extent of additional administrative services performed by Dodge & Cox for the Funds, and that the magnitude of costs and risks borne by Dodge & Cox in rendering advisory services to the Funds (including risks in the compliance, securities valuation and investment management processes) are increasing. The Board concluded that the profitability of Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.
The Benefit of Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the management fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund assets and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board noted that considerable efficiencies of the Funds’ organization and fee structure have been realized by shareholders at the outset of their investment (i.e., from the first dollar), such as management fee rates that start lower than industry and many peer group averages and management fees and overall expense ratios that are lower than averages for peer group funds with approximately the same level of assets. Shareholders also realize efficiencies from the outset of their investment due to organizational efficiencies involved with Dodge & Cox’s investment management process and with avoiding distribution and marketing structures whose costs would ultimately be borne by the Funds. The Board noted that Dodge & Cox’s internal costs of providing investment management,
administrative, and compliance services to the Funds have increased. The Board’s decision to renew the Agreements was made after consideration of economies of scale and review of comparable fund expense ratios and historical expense ratio patterns for the Funds. Their review also included consideration of the desirability of adding breakpoints to the Funds’ fee schedules. The Board concluded that the current Dodge & Cox fee structure is fair and reasonable and adequately reflect economies of scale.
Conclusion
Based on their evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable, that each Fund was paying a competitive fee for the services provided, that the scope and quality of Dodge & Cox’s services has provided substantial value for Fund shareholders over the long-term, and that approval of the Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

To Our Shareholders
The Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund had a total return of 6.6% in 2005, compared to a total return of 4.0% for the Combined Index¹ benchmark. The table on page two shows the Fund’s longer-term results compared to the Combined Index. At year end, the Fund’s total assets of $23.6 billion were invested in 62.6% stocks, 33.4% fixed-income securities and 4.0% cash equivalents.
2005 Performance Review
The Fund’s equity holdings, which returned 10.3% (before Fund expenses), significantly outpaced the Standard & Poor’s 500’s (S&P 500) return of 4.9%, and drove the Fund’s overall strength versus the Combined Index. Specifically, the equity portfolio’s Information Technology stocks (e.g., Hewlett-Packard up 38%) were up 12% in aggregate, compared to 1% for the S&P 500 sector. Energy stocks (e.g., Unocal up 55%) were the largest contributors to the portfolio’s absolute performance, returning over 30% as a group, which was in line with the S&P 500’s sector return.
In contrast, the primary detractors from equity performance came from the portfolio’s Media stocks (e.g., Comcast down 22%). Also, as we detailed last quarter, Delphi was down 96% from the beginning of the year until we sold it (after the company filed for bankruptcy) in early October. Delphi illustrates that we do make mistakes, although we continually strive to learn from them. Delphi also illustrates the importance of portfolio diversification, as no single investment’s poor performance weighs too heavily on total results.
The U.S. bond market produced modest results in 2005 as price declines associated with generally rising interest rates reduced total returns. The Fund’s fixed-income portfolio returned 2.4% (before Fund expenses)— in line with the Lehman Brother’s Aggregate Bond Index’s (LBAG) 2.4% return for the year. The portfolio’s shorter-than-benchmark duration2 enhanced relative fixed-income returns in 2005 as short and intermediate interest rates rose. In addition, bonds issued by UnumProvident and AT&T performed well, as did the portfolio’s mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Conversely, investments in Ford Motor Credit Company (FMCC) and General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC) bonds detracted from returns due to concerns about the financial health of their automotive parent companies.
Looking Back: The Case for a Balanced Portfolio
By investing in a balanced portfolio, an investor typically seeks the potential for capital appreciation, historically provided by stocks, as well as the relative price stability and higher income provided by bonds. Reviewing the past five years provides a case in point.
The Fund has returned an annualized 14.5% per year for the last three years and 9.9% per year for the last five years. These annualized returns mask the Fund’s year-to-year volatility (annual returns over the past five years have ranged from -2.9% to +24.4%). Also hidden in the Fund’s annualized returns are the
relative contributions made by the equity and fixed-income portfolios, which have varied as well. For example, over the last three years the Fund’s equity holdings have been the driving force behind its performance, returning over 20% per year on average. Equity returns during this period more than compensated for the lower returns from the Fund’s fixed-income holdings, which were up 5% per year. Conversely, in 2001 and 2002 the Fund’s fixed-income portfolio returned 11% per year while the equity portfolio was down slightly. These numbers point to the importance of both a long-term horizon and a balanced approach to investing.
Looking Forward
Over the past six years, the investment landscape has changed, and we now face a new set of opportunities. We are encouraged about the road ahead because 1) the range of valuations in the equity market has compressed dramatically, meaning investors no longer have to pay large premiums to own companies with attractive long-term growth prospects; and 2) the global economy continues to expand rapidly, meaning millions of consumers, particularly from the developing world, are gaining purchasing power. From the fixed-income perspective, the relentless rise in short and intermediate-term interest rates over the past two years has elevated the bond portfolio’s yield above 5%, leaving us somewhat more optimistic about the prospects for fixed-income returns than we have been in several years.
As valuations within the equity market have narrowed, we have made new investments, one stock at a time, in areas that were once considered “growth” segments of the market: Technology, Media, Telecommunications and Healthcare. Examples of the equity portfolio’s investments in this area include the aforementioned Hewlett-Packard and Comcast, as well as pharmaceutical concerns Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis and GlaxoSmithKline.
As the global economy continues to integrate and an increasing number of countries adopt free-market capitalistic policies, it becomes less important where a company is domiciled and more important where a company competes. Moreover, U.S.-based companies are becoming increasingly dependent on the global economy for growth. For example, 37 of the equity portfolio’s U.S.-based holdings derive at least one-quarter of their revenues from outside of North America. A global research perspective is paramount. Over the past ten years we have dramatically increased our coverage of foreign companies, and in 2001 established our International Stock Fund, confirming our investment team’s global view. The equity portfolio now holds 15 multinational companies based outside the U.S.
In regards to the fixed income portfolio, we continue to be cautious about the outlook for longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds (10+ years to maturity), which currently offer a low yield and do not offer additional yield (i.e. extra income) relative to shorter maturities, despite their greater sensitivity to interest rate changes. The Fund’s fixed-income portfolio is underweight longer-term bonds in
| | |
1 / Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund | | |
general and, importantly, all such securities are Corporate bonds with yield premiums that should somewhat offset any negative price movements associated with rising rates. The Fund has no U.S. Treasuries with maturities greater than four years, and is positioned defensively with a duration of 3.3 years compared to 4.6 years for the LBAG. Given the rise in short to intermediate rates over the past two years, we have begun to trade some of the Fund’s shorter maturity bonds for intermediate maturity bonds, thereby reducing moderately the Fund’s defensive positioning.
Finally, given the wide range of returns between stocks and bonds over the past few years, investors may be tempted to try to pick next year’s top-returning asset class. We caution that this is extraordinarily difficult and often counterproductive. As long-term shareholders of the Fund know, we do not dramatically change the Fund’s asset allocation between stocks, bonds and cash quarter-to-quarter, let alone year-to-year. The Fund’s current allocation of 62.6% in stocks and 37.4% in bonds and cash reflects our belief that over the next three-to-five years the return potential for stocks is somewhat more attractive than for bonds. Furthermore, we believe a balanced approach to investing is particularly prudent today, as a mix of stocks and bonds should help cushion investors from the potholes we’ll undoubtedly experience down the road of a rapidly changing and increasingly global investment landscape.
In Closing
We welcome back John Taylor as an Independent Trustee of the Dodge & Cox Funds. Mr. Taylor was elected at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 2nd and previously served on the Board from January 1998 until March 2001, prior to his 2001 appointment as Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for International Affairs.
We are also pleased to announce that on December 31st, John Gunn became Chief Executive Officer of Dodge & Cox. Harry Hagey, the firm’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since 1992, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Investment Policy Committee until his retirement at the end of 2006. Also on December 31st, longstanding Dodge & Cox employees Ken Olivier and Dana Emery were named the firm’s President and Executive Vice President, respectively.
Thank you for the continued confidence you have placed in our firm as a shareholder of the Balanced Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

Fund Expense Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.
The following example shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The example assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information on the second line of the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio of the Fund and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). The amount under the heading “Expense Paid During the Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/2005 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/2005 | | Expenses Paid During Period* |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,055.60 | | $ | 2.72 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.55 | | | 2.68 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio of 0.53%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
The expenses shown in the table highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. While other mutual funds may charge such fees, please note that the Fund does not charge transaction fees (e.g., redemption fees, sales loads) or universal account maintenance fees (e.g., small account fees).

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 26, 1931, and seeks regular income, conservation of principal and an opportunity for long-term growth of principal and income. Risk considerations and investment strategies of the Fund are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus. The Fund is closed to new investors.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation. The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Stocks are valued at market, using as a price the official quoted close price or the last sale of the day at the close of the NYSE or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange-listed bid and ask prices for the day. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Fixed-income securities with original maturities of one year or more are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Under certain circumstances, fixed-income securities that are not valued by pricing services are temporarily valued by the investment manager utilizing both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Valuations of fixed-income securities take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading markets in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data and do not rely exclusively upon exchange or over-the-counter listed prices. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the
Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends or corporate actions from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. The Fund may estimate the character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”).
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income includes coupon interest, amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, and gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage-backed securities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities which involve the
| | |
11 / Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund | | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
purchase of securities from a counterparty with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities at an agreed-upon date and price. It is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
Note 2 — Related Party Transactions
Management fees. Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets to Dodge & Cox, investment manager of the Fund.
Fund officers and trustees. All officers and four of the trustees of the Trust are officers or employees of Dodge & Cox. The Trust pays a fee only to those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox.
Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnities to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
Note 3 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from
net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatment of net short-term realized gain and paydown loss. At December 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting purposes.
Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | |
Ordinary income ($1.866 per share) | | $ | 528,868,924 |
Long-term capital gain ($1.294 per share) | | | 371,121,077 |
| |
|
|
Total distributions ($3.160 per share) | | $ | 899,990,001 |
| |
|
|
At December 31, 2005, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,334,573,066 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (173,608,192 | ) |
| |
|
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 4,160,964,874 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 1,855,600 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 23,614,154 | |
Note 4 — Purchase and Sales of Investments
For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $3,909,742,779 and $2,047,388,942, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $4,266,223,442 and $3,373,718,117, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Dodge & Cox Funds and Shareholders of Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Funds’ Investment Management Agreements and Management Fees (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Dodge & Cox Funds’ investment manager and determining whether to continue the Investment Management Agreements between the Funds and Dodge & Cox each year (the
“Agreements”). At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on December 16, 2005, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the renewal of the Agreements for an additional one-year term through December 31, 2006. During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Dodge & Cox and the performance of the Funds.
Information Received
In advance of the meeting, the Board, including each of the Independent Trustees, requested, received and reviewed materials relating to the Agreements. The Independent Trustees retained Morningstar® to prepare an independent expense and performance summary for each Fund and comparable funds managed by other advisers identified by Morningstar®. The Morningstar® materials included information regarding advisory fee rates, expense ratios, and transfer agency, custodial and distribution expenses, as well as performance comparisons to an appropriate index or combination of indices. The materials reviewed by the Board also included information concerning Dodge & Cox’s profitability, financial results and condition, including advisory fee revenue and separate account advisory fee schedules. The Board additionally considered the Funds’ brokerage commissions, turnover rates and sales and redemption data for the Funds, including “soft dollar” payments made for research benefiting the Funds and other accounts managed by Dodge & Cox, and brokerage commissions and expenses paid by Dodge & Cox. Other aspects of Dodge & Cox’s services to the Funds which were reviewed included compliance and supervision of third-party service providers (e.g., custodian, “blue sky” administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant), shareholder servicing, accounting and administrative services, web services, the character of non-advisory services, the record of compliance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and the Funds’ Code of Ethics, investment management staffing and biographies, information furnished to investors and shareholders (including the Funds’ prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports, and quarterly reports), and third-party retirement plan administrator reimbursements by Dodge & Cox for the same periods.
The Board received a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements and copies of the Agreements. The Trust’s Governance Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 1, 2005 to
| | |
15 / Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund | | |
discuss whether to renew the Agreements. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, subsequently concluded that the existing Agreements are fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Agreements.
In considering the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor or particular information as all-important or controlling. In reaching the decision to approve the Agreements, the Board, which was advised by Independent Legal Counsel, considered the following factors, among others, and reached the conclusions described below.
Nature, Quality, and Extent of the Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of portfolio management, administrative and shareholder services performed by Dodge & Cox, including: Dodge & Cox’s established long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; demonstrated consistency in investment approach and depth, background and experience of the Dodge & Cox Investment Policy Committee, International Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Strategy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; frequent favorable recognition of Dodge & Cox and the Funds in the media and industry publications; Dodge & Cox’s performance in the areas of compliance, administration and shareholder communication and services, supervision of Fund operations and general oversight of other service providers; favorable peer group comparisons of expense ratios, management fee comparisons, expenses (e.g., transfer agent, custody and other fees and expenses) and asset comparisons and performance and risk summaries prepared independently by Morningstar® and favorable fiduciary grade and “Star” rankings by Morningstar®. The Board also acknowledged Dodge & Cox’s decision to close its institutional equity and balanced separate account business and had previously voted, at the recommendation of Dodge & Cox, to close the Stock and Balanced Funds to control the pace of growth. The Board also acknowledged that the services provided by Dodge & Cox are extensive in nature and that Dodge & Cox consistently delivered a high level of service. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment management and other services provided to the Funds by Dodge & Cox.
Investment Performance
The Board considered short-term and long-term investment performance for each Fund (including periods of outperformance or
underperformance) as compared to both relevant indices and the performance of such Fund’s peer group. While not dispositive in the determination, performance information prepared by Morningstar® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated to the Board a consistent pattern of favorable performance for investors and, in most instances, the Funds have outperformed their peer groups for short and long-term periods. The Board also noted that the strong investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the performance delivered for other (non-Fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox delivers favorable performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.
Costs and Ancillary Benefits
Costs of Services to Funds: Fees and Expenses. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee rates and expense ratios relative to industry averages for similar mutual funds and relative to management fees charged by Dodge & Cox to other (non-fund) clients. The Board evaluated the operating structures of the Funds and Dodge & Cox—which included a centralized focus on investment management operations, outsourcing of non-advisory support services to unaffiliated third-party service providers, avoiding the practice of charging front-end sales commissions or distribution fees, having Dodge & Cox pay for distribution-related costs and reimbursements to third-party retirement plan administrators, receiving numerous administrative, regulatory compliance, and shareholder support services from Dodge & Cox without any additional administrative fee, and achieving relatively low transaction costs and portfolio turnover rates. The Board noted that the Funds are substantially below peer group averages in expense ratios and management fee rates. The Board also noted that the range of services under the Agreements is much more extensive than under Dodge & Cox’s separate advisory (non-fund) client agreements, and that there are reasonable justifications for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services it receives (including the management fee paid to Dodge & Cox) are reasonable and that the fees are acceptable based upon the qualifications, experience, reputation, and performance of Dodge & Cox and the low overall expense ratios of the Funds.
Profitability and Costs of Services to Dodge & Cox; “Fall-out” Benefits. The Board reviewed reports of Dodge & Cox’s financial position, profitability and estimated overall value, and they considered Dodge & Cox’s overall profitability within its context as a private, employee-owned S-Corporation and relative to the favorable services provided. The Board considered recent increases to Dodge
| | |
| | Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund / 16 |
& Cox’s gross revenues, and noted the importance of Dodge & Cox’s profitability—which is derived solely from management fees and does not include other business ventures—to maintain its independence, company culture and ethics, and management continuity. They noted that Dodge & Cox’s profitability is enhanced due to its efficient internal business model, and that the compensation/profit structure at Dodge & Cox is vital for remaining independent and facilitating retention of its management and investment professionals. They also noted that Dodge & Cox has voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Stock and Balanced Funds to new investors and by not taking on new equity and balanced separate account clients. The Board noted that these actions were financially disadvantageous to Dodge & Cox, but illustrated a commitment to act in the best interest of existing Fund shareholders and separate account clients. The Board considered potential “fall-out” benefits (including the receipt of research from unaffiliated brokers) that Dodge & Cox might receive in its association with the Funds, and they concluded that these benefits are reasonable in light of Dodge & Cox’s well established stand-alone separate account business. The Board also noted the extent of additional administrative services performed by Dodge & Cox for the Funds, and that the magnitude of costs and risks borne by Dodge & Cox in rendering advisory services to the Funds (including risks in the compliance, securities valuation and investment management processes) are increasing. The Board concluded that the profitability of Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.
The Benefit of Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the management fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund assets and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board noted that considerable efficiencies of the Funds’ organization and fee structure have been realized by shareholders at the outset of their investment (i.e., from the first dollar), such as management fee rates that start lower than industry and many peer group averages and management fees and overall expense ratios that are lower than averages for peer group funds with approximately the same level of assets. Shareholders also realize efficiencies from the outset of their investment due to organizational efficiencies involved with Dodge & Cox’s investment management process and with avoiding distribution and marketing structures whose costs would ultimately be borne by the Funds. The Board noted that Dodge & Cox’s internal costs of providing investment management, administrative, and compliance services to the Funds have
increased. The Board’s decision to renew the Agreements was made after consideration of economies of scale and review of comparable fund expense ratios and historical expense ratio patterns for the Funds. Their review also included consideration of the desirability of adding breakpoints to the Funds’ fee schedules. The Board concluded that the current Dodge & Cox fee structure is fair and reasonable and adequately reflect economies of scale.
Conclusion

To Our Shareholders
The Dodge & Cox Income Fund generated a total return of 2.0% in 2005, compared to a 2.4% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAG). The table on page three shows the Fund’s longer-term results compared to the LBAG. At year end, the Fund’s net assets were $9.6 billion with a cash weighting of 2.9%.
The Fund and the U.S. bond market produced modest results in 2005 as price declines associated with generally rising interest rates reduced total returns. Similar to last year, the yield increases were most dramatic among short and intermediate-maturity securities, leaving the yield curve essentially flat (short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries offering comparable yields) at year end. We are cautious about the outlook for longer-term bonds (10+ years to maturity)—U.S. Treasuries particularly—which have made an outsized contribution to fixed-income returns the past two years. Nevertheless, we believe the total return prospects for the Fund, while still modest, are more attractive than they have been in several years. The Fund’s yield-to-maturity was 5.32% at year end, considerably higher than at year end 2004 (4.14%) and year end 2003 (3.63%). Income and its reinvestment are the predominant contributors to long-term fixed-income returns; as such, a higher starting Fund yield should not only contribute significantly to the Fund’s return in the future, but would offset somewhat the negative price impact if long-term rates rise.
Economic and Market Commentary
Despite the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and significantly higher energy prices, the U.S. economy generated solid economic growth in 2005 as U.S. real GDP rose approximately 3.5%. The economy is in its fifth year of economic expansion, and GDP growth has been greater than 3% year-over-year for ten consecutive quarters. Additionally, the labor market remained strong: over two million jobs were created, the unemployment rate declined to 4.9%, and the pace of hiring appears to have recovered from the effects of the hurricanes. Moreover, the manufacturing and service sectors are solid, consumer optimism has risen, and corporate earnings and cash flow are robust.
Inflation, measured on a year-over-year basis, rose from 3.3% to 3.4% in 2005, though it surged to 4.7% in September due to record-high energy prices. Core inflation (ex-food and energy) was unchanged at 2.2%. The Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds rate eight times in 2005 (in 0.25% increments) to 4.25% in
their efforts to re-establish a “neutral” rate that is neither overly stimulative nor restrictive. Recent Fed meeting minutes seem to indicate that they believe they are approaching that level.
Corporate profitability was strong in 2005, amid healthy corporate balance sheets and a solid economy. Despite these factors, corporate bond investors were not rewarded with strong relative performance. Corporate bond returns lagged as automobile sector weakness, individual company credit “events” and generally full valuations created conditions for underperformance. The initial catalyst for weak performance was the auto industry, as Ford and General Motors (GM) reported deteriorating sales beginning in early 2005, and their credit ratings were downgraded accordingly. By year end, the rating downgrades of both GM’s auto/mortgage financing subsidiary (GMAC) and Ford’s auto financing subsidiary (FMCC) resulted in these issuers exiting the investment grade-only Lehman Aggregate Index. GMAC securities recovered substantially in the second half of 2005 after GM announced that it is exploring the possible sale of a controlling interest in GMAC to a higher-rated strategic partner—such a move may restore GMAC’s investment grade rating. Other factors contributing to the Corporate sector’s subdued performance were fears of bondholder-unfriendly activities (e.g., leveraged stock buybacks, leveraged buyout risk) and concerns over potentially slowing economic growth given higher energy prices and a slowing housing market.
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) performed generally in line with comparable short-to-intermediate-term Treasuries for the year, although they have underperformed since August as the rise in interest rates during that period spurred concern over poor relative price performance for MBS as prepayments slow.
2005 Performance Review
The Fund’s FMCC and GMAC holdings were the major source of relative underperformance: the Fund’s largest FMCC and GMAC investments returned -12.7% and -4.3%, respectively. Together these two issuers comprised 4.8% of the Fund at year end, up from 4.2% at the end of 2004. The Fund’s Time Warner holdings also performed poorly. Conversely, the Fund’s investments in bonds issued by UnumProvident, AT&T, Cigna, Federated (May Department Stores) and HCA fared well, as did the Fund’s MBS holdings. Finally, the Fund’s shorter-than-benchmark effective duration1 enhanced relative returns in 2005.

1 / Dodge & Cox Income Fund | | |
Fund Strategy and OutlookThe recent performance from the bond market has been quite modest, as the LBAG has had an annualized total return of 3.38% over the past two years. This has not been surprising, given the low yields that existed two years ago when, for example, the two-year and five-year Treasuries yielded 1.82% and 3.25%, respectively. Modest as this recent performance has been, it would have been worse if not for the strong—and unexpected—performance of the 10+ year sector. This sector has returned 6.73% (twice the return of the LBAG) over the last two years. While this sector is not large—approximately 12% of the LBAG—it has certainly had an outsized impact on recent bond market performance.
As inflation, economic growth, the Fed Funds rate, and short and intermediate-term yields have increased over the past two years, many investors—including ourselves—have been surprised by the resiliency of longer-term interest rates and the strong relative performance of longer-maturity bonds. While the explanations cited for this resiliency are numerous (e.g., global savings glut, repatriation of foreign trade surpluses, expectations for continued low inflation) the results are incontrovertible: first, there is a diminished risk premium embedded in longer-term interest rates, and second, “real” yields remain low by historical standards. A look at today’s flat yield curve illustrates the absence of the risk premium typically accorded longer-term bonds relative to short-term ones, particularly as we are not faced with an obviously deteriorating economy or falling inflation. In addition, there is a much smaller safety cushion relative to inflation for longer-term bonds than historically has been the case: the gap between ten-year U.S. Treasury yields and core inflation was 2.2% at year end, while the average for the last twenty years has been 3.3%.
The risk premium of longer-term bonds compensates the investor for heightened price sensitivity to changes in inflation expectations and real yields—and accordingly, greater potential return volatility—than shorter-maturity securities. As we have discussed in previous letters, we are uncomfortable with the diminished risk premium of longer-maturity securities, and have underweighted this sector. Moreover, all of the longer-maturity securities in the Fund are Corporate bonds with yield premiums (i.e., extra income) that should offset somewhat the negative price movement associated with rising rates. The Fund currently holds no U.S. Treasuries with maturities
greater than four years, and has an overall duration of 3.5 years, shorter than the LBAG’s 4.6 years.
Our team works together to uncover new opportunities and actively monitor existing positions and strategy. Recently, we added to the Fund’s MBS holdings through the purchase of seasoned, thirty-year, Agency-backed mortgage pools at attractive valuations. Within the Corporate sector, the Fund’s FMCC and GMAC holdings are likely to remain volatile for the foreseeable future; nonetheless, they offer attractive yields (over 10% for FMCC and almost 9% for GMAC) and strong total return potential if their automotive parents can turn around their performance or if the finance units can be separated and appraised on a stand-alone basis. As always, we seek opportunities in the MBS and Corporate sectors in our efforts to add to the portfolio’s yield and total return potential without incurring undue, or uncompensated, risks.

Fund Expense Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.
The following example shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The example assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information on the second line of the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio of the Fund and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). The amount under the heading “Expense Paid During the Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/2005 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/2005 | | Expenses Paid During Period* |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,003.20 | | $ | 2.22 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.99 | | | 2.55 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio of 0.44%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
The expenses shown in the table highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. While other mutual funds may charge such fees, please note that the Fund does not charge transaction fees (e.g., redemption fees, sales loads) or universal account maintenance fees (e.g., small account fees).

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Dodge & Cox Income Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on January 3, 1989, and seeks high and stable current income consistent with long-term preservation of capital. Risk considerations and investment strategies of the Fund are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation. The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Fixed-income securities with original maturities of one year or more are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Under certain circumstances, fixed-income securities that are not valued by pricing services are temporarily valued by the investment manager utilizing both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Valuations of fixed-income securities take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading markets in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data and do not rely exclusively upon exchange or over-the-counter listed prices. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income includes coupon interest, amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, and gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage-backed securities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities which involve the purchase of securities from a counterparty with a simultaneous commitment to resell the securities at an agreed-upon date and price. It is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
Note 2 — Related Party Transactions
Management fees. Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $100 million and 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million to Dodge & Cox, investment manager of the Fund. The agreement further provides that Dodge & Cox shall waive its fee to the extent that such fee plus all other ordinary operating expenses of the Fund exceed 1% of the average daily net assets for the year.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Fund officers and trustees. All officers and four of the trustees of the Trust are officers or employees of Dodge & Cox. The Trust pays a fee only to those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox.
Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnities to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
Note 3 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term realized gain and paydown loss. At December 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting purposes.
Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | |
Ordinary income ($0.55 per share) | | $ | 390,586,222 |
Long-term capital gain | | | — |
| |
|
|
Total distributions ($0.55 per share) | | $ | 390,586,222 |
| |
|
|
At December 31, 2005, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 124,242,255 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (135,624,681 | ) |

Undistributed ordinary income | | | 6,670,694 | |
Capital loss carryforward* | | | (66,584,656 | ) |
Deferred loss** | | | (7,224,771 | ) |
* | | Represents accumulated capital loss which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. This carryforward expires as follows: |
| | | |
Expiring in 2011 | | $ | 14,093,589 |
Expiring in 2012 | | | 32,528,048 |
Expiring in 2013 | | | 19,963,019 |
| |
|
|
| | $ | 66,584,656 |
| |
|
|
** | | Represents net realized loss incurred between November 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund has elected to treat this loss as arising in 2006. |
Note 4 — Purchase and Sales of Investments
For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $879,962,954 and $430,887,177, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $4,468,161,362 and $3,051,033,404, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Dodge & Cox Funds and Shareholders of Dodge & Cox Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dodge & Cox Income Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Funds’ Investment Management Agreements and Management Fees (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the Dodge & Cox Funds’ investment manager and determining whether to continue the Investment Management Agreements between the Funds and Dodge & Cox each year (the “Agreements”). At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on December 16, 2005, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the renewal of the Agreements for an additional one-year term through December 31, 2006. During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Dodge & Cox and the performance of the Funds.
Information Received
In advance of the meeting, the Board, including each of the Independent Trustees, requested, received and reviewed materials relating to the Agreements. The Independent Trustees retained Morningstar® to prepare an independent expense and performance summary for each Fund and comparable funds managed by other advisers identified by Morningstar®. The Morningstar® materials
included information regarding advisory fee rates, expense ratios, and transfer agency, custodial and distribution expenses, as well as performance comparisons to an appropriate index or combination of indices. The materials reviewed by the Board also included information concerning Dodge & Cox’s profitability, financial results and condition, including advisory fee revenue and separate account advisory fee schedules. The Board additionally considered the Funds’ brokerage commissions, turnover rates and sales and redemption data for the Funds, including “soft dollar” payments made for research benefiting the Funds and other accounts managed by Dodge & Cox, and brokerage commissions and expenses paid by Dodge & Cox. Other aspects of Dodge & Cox’s services to the Funds which were reviewed included compliance and supervision of third-party service providers (e.g., custodian, “blue sky” administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant), shareholder servicing, accounting and administrative services, web services, the character of non-advisory services, the record of compliance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and the Funds’ Code of Ethics, investment management staffing and biographies, information furnished to investors and shareholders (including the Funds’ prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports, and quarterly reports), and third-party retirement plan administrator reimbursements by Dodge & Cox for the same periods.
The Board received a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements and copies of the Agreements. The Trust’s Governance Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 1, 2005 to discuss whether to renew the Agreements. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, subsequently concluded that the existing Agreements are fair and reasonable and voted to approve the Agreements.
In considering the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor or particular information as all-important or controlling. In reaching the decision to approve the Agreements, the Board, which was advised by Independent Legal Counsel, considered the following factors, among others, and reached the conclusions described below.
Nature, Quality, and Extent of the Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of portfolio management, administrative and shareholder services performed by Dodge & Cox, including: Dodge & Cox’s established long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the
| | |
| | Dodge & Cox Income Fund / 12 |
Funds; demonstrated consistency in investment approach and depth, background and experience of the Dodge & Cox Investment Policy Committee, International Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Strategy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; frequent favorable recognition of Dodge & Cox and the Funds in the media and industry publications; Dodge & Cox’s performance in the areas of compliance, administration and shareholder communication and services, supervision of Fund operations and general oversight of other service providers; favorable peer group comparisons of expense ratios, management fee comparisons, expenses (e.g., transfer agent, custody and other fees and expenses) and asset comparisons and performance and risk summaries prepared independently by Morningstar® and favorable fiduciary grade and “Star” rankings by Morningstar®. The Board also acknowledged Dodge & Cox’s decision to close its institutional equity and balanced separate account business and had previously voted, at the recommendation of Dodge & Cox, to close the Stock and Balanced Funds to control the pace of growth. The Board also acknowledged that the services provided by Dodge & Cox are extensive in nature and that Dodge & Cox consistently delivered a high level of service. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment management and other services provided to the Funds by Dodge & Cox.
Investment Performance
The Board considered short-term and long-term investment performance for each Fund (including periods of outperformance or underperformance) as compared to both relevant indices and the performance of such Fund’s peer group. While not dispositive in the determination, performance information prepared by Morningstar® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated to the Board a consistent pattern of favorable performance for investors and, in most instances, the Funds have outperformed their peer groups for short and long-term periods. The Board also noted that the strong investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the performance delivered for other (non-Fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox delivers favorable performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.
Costs and Ancillary Benefits
Costs of Services to Funds: Fees and Expenses. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee rates and expense ratios relative to industry averages for similar mutual funds and relative to
management fees charged by Dodge & Cox to other (non-fund) clients. The Board evaluated the operating structures of the Funds and Dodge & Cox—which included a centralized focus on investment management operations, outsourcing of non-advisory support services to unaffiliated third-party service providers, avoiding the practice of charging front-end sales commissions or distribution fees, having Dodge & Cox pay for distribution-related costs and reimbursements to third-party retirement plan administrators, receiving numerous administrative, regulatory compliance, and shareholder support services from Dodge & Cox without any additional administrative fee, and achieving relatively low transaction costs and portfolio turnover rates. The Board noted that the Funds are substantially below peer group averages in expense ratios and management fee rates. The Board also noted that the range of services under the Agreements is much more extensive than under Dodge & Cox’s separate advisory (non-fund) client agreements, and that there are reasonable justifications for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services it receives (including the management fee paid to Dodge & Cox) are reasonable and that the fees are acceptable based upon the qualifications, experience, reputation, and performance of Dodge & Cox and the low overall expense ratios of the Funds.
Profitability and Costs of Services to Dodge & Cox; “Fall-out” Benefits. The Board reviewed reports of Dodge & Cox’s financial position, profitability and estimated overall value, and they considered Dodge & Cox’s overall profitability within its context as a private, employee-owned S-Corporation and relative to the favorable
services provided. The Board considered recent increases to Dodge & Cox’s gross revenues, and noted the importance of Dodge & Cox’s profitability—which is derived solely from management fees and does not include other business ventures—to maintain its independence, company culture and ethics, and management continuity. They noted that Dodge & Cox’s profitability is enhanced due to its efficient internal business model, and that the compensation/profit structure at Dodge & Cox is vital for remaining independent and facilitating retention of its management and investment professionals. They also noted that Dodge & Cox has voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Stock and Balanced Funds to new investors and by not taking on new equity and balanced separate account clients. The Board noted that these actions were financially disadvantageous to Dodge & Cox, but illustrated a commitment to act in the best interest of existing Fund shareholders and separate account clients. The Board considered potential “fall-out” benefits (including the receipt of research from unaffiliated brokers) that Dodge & Cox might receive in its
| | |
13 / Dodge & Cox Income Fund | | |
association with the Funds, and they concluded that these benefits are reasonable in light of Dodge & Cox’s well established stand-alone separate account business. The Board also noted the extent of additional administrative services performed by Dodge & Cox for the Funds, and that the magnitude of costs and risks borne by Dodge & Cox in rendering advisory services to the Funds (including risks in the compliance, securities valuation and investment management processes) are increasing. The Board concluded that the profitability of Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.
The Benefit of Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the management fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund assets and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board noted that considerable efficiencies of the Funds’ organization and fee structure have been realized by shareholders at the outset of their investment (i.e., from the first dollar), such as management fee rates that start lower than industry and many peer group averages and management fees and overall expense ratios that are lower than averages for peer group funds with approximately the same level of assets. Shareholders also realize efficiencies from the outset of their investment due to organizational efficiencies involved with Dodge & Cox’s investment management process and with avoiding distribution and marketing structures whose costs would ultimately be borne by the Funds. The Board noted that Dodge & Cox’s internal costs of providing investment management, administrative, and compliance services to the Funds have increased. The Board’s decision to renew the Agreements was made after consideration of economies of scale and review of comparable fund expense ratios and historical expense ratio patterns for the Funds. Their review also included consideration of the desirability of adding breakpoints to the Funds’ fee schedules. The Board concluded that the current Dodge & Cox fee structure is fair and reasonable and adequately reflect economies of scale.
Conclusion
Based on their evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable, that each Fund was paying a competitive fee for the services provided, that the scope and quality of Dodge & Cox’s services has provided substantial value for Fund shareholders over the long-term, and that approval of the
Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

A code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, adopted by the registrant and applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that William F. Ausfahl and L. Dale Crandall, members of the registrant’s Audit Committee, are each an “audit committee financial expert” and are “independent,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 |
Audit Fees | | $ | 179,550 | | $ | 158,400 |
Audit-Related Fees | | | 18,000 | | | 16,500 |
Tax Fees | | | 58,000 | | | 55,200 |
All Other Fees | | | — | | | — |
Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include the performance of agreed-upon procedures in connection with the registrant’s semi-annual financial statements. Tax fees include amounts related to tax return preparation, compliance, and reviews.
(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures (“Policies”) which require the registrant’s audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the registrant. The policies also require the audit committee to pre-approve any engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser, if the services directly impact the registrant’s operations and controls. The Policies do not apply in the case of audit services that the principal accountant provides to the registrant’s adviser. If a service (other than the engagement of the principal accountant to audit the registrant’s financial statements) is required to be pre-approved under the Policies between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by a designated audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting.
(e)(2) No services included in (b) - (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
(g) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the aggregate fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, for non-audit services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and for non-audit services rendered to entities controlled by the adviser were $181,000 and $178,100, respectively.
(h) All non-audit services described under (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee and found to be compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
ITEM 5. | AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. | SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS. |
Not applicable. The complete schedule of investments is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(iv) A description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending shareholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the recommending shareholder.
In addition, the Nominating Committee may require the candidate to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to determine the eligibility of such candidate to serve on the Board or to satisfy applicable law and information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed if the candidate were a nominee in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for election of Trustees.
ITEM 11. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) An evaluation was performed within 90 days of the filing of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures.
