2008

Annual Report

December 31, 2008

Stock Fund

ESTABLISHED 1965

TICKER: DODGX

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

The Dodge & Cox Stock Fund had a total return of negative 43.3% for 2008, compared to a total return of negative 37.0% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). At year end, the Fund had net assets of $32.7 billion with a cash position of 2.2%. Longer-term results appear on page four.

LOOKING BACK

The past year was the most disappointing in the Stock Fund’s 43-year history and the worst year for the broad market since 1931. As we reflect on 2008, we clearly underestimated the worsening credit crisis, the likelihood of government interventions, the depth and breadth of the ongoing economic problems, and the combined effect of these on many of the Fund’s holdings, particularly within the Financials sector.

While the returns resulting from a number of our investment decisions were disappointing during 2008, we are confident in the Fund’s holdings. The Fund has experienced periods of underperformance in the past. We have learned from these past periods just as we are learning from this one, and are incorporating these lessons into our strategy and outlook on an ongoing basis.

For example, during this unique period of extreme volatility and limited liquidity, our equity and fixed income research analysts have reviewed, updated, and stress-tested our financial projections for each of the Fund’s holdings, paying particular attention to potential vulnerabilities to the challenging credit market. We review this work with our analysts while continually monitoring relative values across our investment universe in order to determine the best long-term opportunities on behalf of the Fund’s shareholders. As a result of this review, we sold General Motors and Ford during the fourth quarter.

While we have made refinements, maintaining the essence of our investment approach through previous challenging periods has been crucial to the Fund’s long-term success. That approach—constructing a diversified portfolio through in-depth, independent research, a three-to-five year investment horizon, and a focus on valuation relative to underlying fundamentals—continues to guide us through this period as well. As we learn and make

adjustments, we remain confident that our enduring value-oriented approach will benefit our shareholders in the years ahead.

Founded in 1930, our firm has weathered past financial storms and we are confident we will weather this one as well. We are independently owned by our current employees, have no debt, and have kept our employee count low. We have no need for layoffs, and in fact have continued to invest in our most important resource—people—by maintaining a pattern of hiring one or two new analysts per year. Our independence gives us the staying power to stick with our convictions and maintain our focus on the long term. Our firm’s foremost objective is to provide high quality investment management service to our clients.

LOOKING FORWARD

While the economic landscape has clearly worsened with rising unemployment, declining home values, and continuing uncertainty within the Financials sector, there are a number of factors which build our convictions about the positive prospects for equity returns over the long term.

First, government officials and companies’ management teams have been actively addressing and responding to the economic downturn. Unlike some past recessions or the Great Depression, when policy makers either did nothing or raised barriers, the U.S. and foreign governments have implemented large programs to support the financial system and stimulate the economy, and have largely maintained free-market principles. Government involvement, though, can be a double-edged sword for the equity investor, as we’ve learned since September. As regulators take a more active role addressing problems in the banking system, but also take on health care, telecommunications, energy, and environmental policy, we are working to expand our understanding of where public policy is heading and its potential impact on the Fund’s investments.

In our regular discussions with management teams, we hear how they are also rapidly responding to the downturn. Many companies are reducing costs, improving processes, reconsidering strategies, and looking for growth and market share opportunities as competitors struggle.

PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX STOCK FUND

The survivors should be better positioned and more profitable when the economy does turn around. Examples of Fund holdings gaining market share and/or aggressively cutting costs include Hewlett-Packard, Comcast, Pfizer, FedEx, Schlumberger, and Wal-Mart.

Second, the U.S. economy has been through difficult periods before—it has survived wars, flu pandemics, inflation, labor unrest, and terrorist attacks. Pessimism during these periods—just like optimism during upturns—can become pervasive. Stock market volatility during this crisis has been at record levels with prices moving as much as 10% in a day—certainly beyond any changes in the underlying fundamentals of the companies these stocks represent. The U.S. and global economies are resilient and, while setbacks have occurred throughout history, equity investors have been rewarded over the long term. In the first 52 years of the S&P 500 (from early 1957 to the end of 2008) the annualized total return was 9.5% (including dividends). This return was driven primarily by the expansion in earnings of the companies that comprise the S&P 500. Earnings expansion in turn has come from companies focusing on their relative strength, expanding productivity, and, in the last few decades, taking advantage of overseas opportunities. While companies are currently under extreme profit pressure, there is nothing to indicate to us that the experience of the past 52 years is no longer relevant to the future.

Third, valuations for companies have obviously come down dramatically, and in our opinion are even more attractive today. As a whole, the stock market is selling at depressed valuations, and select companies are selling at very low multiples to sales and earnings potential. When the global economy stabilizes and recovers, attractive nominal returns could be achieved. Furthermore, companies perceived by investors as being more defensive—generally in the Utilities, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Staples sectors—now trade at premium valuations, while companies viewed as riskier—generally those in the Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, Industrials, and Financials sectors—have been discounted. The “flight to safety” strategy could prove successful in the near term. We, however, do not believe it will prove to be successful over the long term.

And finally, the powerful forces behind accelerated global economic growth over the past five years remain in place—namely, technological innovation and the growth in developing countries. While emerging markets growth has slowed, we believe the long-term outlook is good. The 5.5 billion people in the developing world now account for 30% to 40% of the global economy, and increasingly their growth is being created by demand from their own markets, not just by exports to the West—creating potential opportunities for multinational companies. As of year end, 20% of the Fund was invested in multinational foreign companies, and another 24% invested in U.S.-based companies that have at least 50% of their sales coming from overseas—much of it from emerging markets.

Two sectors in the crosshairs of technological innovation and growth in the developing world are Health Care and Information Technology. At year end, the Fund had 28% of its assets in Health Care stocks, primarily in global pharmaceutical companies (e.g., Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline). Pharmaceuticals are faced with many regulatory challenges, but are trading at historically low valuations and are in financially strong condition. They continue to innovate, and should benefit from increased demand as discretionary income in the developing world increases. Another 18% of the Fund was invested in Information Technology stocks, including a number of software and services companies (e.g., BMC Software, Citrix Systems, and Computer Sciences), that have solid balance sheets and high recurring revenues from clients who are dependent on them to maintain their businesses.

A THOUGHT ON FINANCIALS

As you will read in the box below, the performance of several of the Fund’s holdings in the Financials sector was breathtakingly bad. And given that the root of today’s economic turmoil lies in the banking system, it is not an unfair question to ask why one would invest in this area at all. As of year end, 11% of the Fund was invested in Financials compared to 13% of the S&P 500. Despite the continued sell-off during the fourth quarter and still lower valuations, we decided not to add significantly to positions in acknowledgement of the industry’s disruptions. At the same time, we did not sell the Fund’s positions with the


		DODGE & COX STOCK FUND §		PAGE		2

rationale that banks and other financial services firms provide a necessary long-term role in the global economy, and the survivors of this crisis will eventually return to profitability with stronger market positions and higher stock valuations. As we discussed earlier, we are fully cognizant of the challenges and risks in this area and are monitoring all of the Fund’s finance holdings.

IN CLOSING

Investing can be a humbling endeavor. This past year has been humbling for us twofold. First, a number of our investment decisions—made based on considerable research, discussion, and debate—proved to be wrong. Second, we have been humbled by the loyalty and confidence our shareholders have displayed through this difficult period. While the Fund did experience net outflows during the year, the outflows were manageable and represented a small percentage of the Fund’s asset base. By and large what we have heard from shareholders is not only disappointment with our recent returns, but confidence in Dodge & Cox and our investment approach. As fellow shareholders in the Fund, we share in these sentiments.

Our experienced investment team is working hard to take advantage of the attractive opportunities being created during this period of economic stress and volatility. Although it is impossible to predict the short-term direction of stock prices, our experience has taught us that persistence in the face of significant market dislocations can potentially be rewarding for patient investors with long-term investment horizons.

We appreciate your continued patience and confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

2008 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund lagged the S&P 500 by 6.3 percentage points for the year.

Key Detractors from Relative Results

The Fund’s Financials holdings (down 72% versus down 55% for the S&P 500 sector) had the largest negative impact on performance. American International Group (AIG, down 97%), Fannie Mae (down 97% to date of sale), Wachovia (down 85%, acquired by Wells Fargo), and Citigroup (down 76%) were notable detractors.

The Fund’s higher average weighting in the Consumer Discretionary sector (22% versus 8% for the S&P 500 sector), in combination with the underperformance of the Fund’s holdings (down 41% versus down 33%), detracted. Sony (down 59%) and News Corp. (down 55%) lagged.

The Fund’s lower average weighting in the Consumer Staples sector (3% versus 11% for the S&P 500 sector) detracted, as the sector declined less than the market.

Individual detractors included Sprint Nextel (down 86%), Motorola (down 72%), Dow Chemical (down 59%), Schlumberger (down 56%), General Electric (down 54%), and Cardinal Health (down 40%).

Key Contributors to Relative Results

The Fund’s higher average weighting in the Health Care sector (23% versus 13% for the S&P 500 sector) was beneficial, as both the Fund’s holdings and the S&P 500 sector (both down 23%) declined less than the overall market. Amgen (up 24%) and Novartis (down 6%) were strong contributors.

Individual contributors included Rohm and Haas (up 42% to date of sale, potentially being acquired by Dow Chemical), Wal-Mart (up 20%), Electronic Data Systems (up 18% to date of sale, acquired by Hewlett-Packard), Union Pacific (up 10% to date of sale), Sherwin-Williams (up 10%, from initial purchase), and Wells Fargo (up 2%).

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, 2008	Beginning Account Value 7/1/2008		Ending Account Value 12/31/2008		Expenses Paid During Period*
Based on Actual Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	673.80	$	2.19
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return		1,000.00		1,022.52		2.64

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.52%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The expenses shown in the table highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional fees 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 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 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. 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 allocated 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 or agency 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 collateral securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

NOTE 2—VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, market indices, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008:


Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1: Quoted Prices	$	32,115,930,101
Level 2: Other Significant Observable Inputs		413,681,000
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs		—

Total	$	32,529,611,101

PAGE 9 § DODGE & COX STOCK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management fees Under a written agreement approved by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees, 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 three 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 4—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.

Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales and net short-term realized gain/(loss). At December 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $49,080,153,958.

Distributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:


	Year Ended December 31, 2008	Year Ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income	$863,451,970	$1,382,138,076
	($1.889 per share)	($3.197 per share)

Long-term capital gain	$1,829,710,106	$5,232,123,720
	($4.079 per share)	($12.403 per share)

At December 31, 2008, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:


Unrealized appreciation	$	2,567,345,419
Unrealized depreciation		(19,117,888,276	)

Net unrealized depreciation		(16,550,542,857	)
Undistributed ordinary income		29,973,742
Capital loss carryforward*		(30,080,078	)
Deferred loss**		(424,185,471	)

*	Represents accumulated capital loss which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. If not utilized, the capital loss carryforward will expire in 2016.

**	Represents net realized loss incurred between November 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund has elected to treat this loss as arising in 2009.

NOTE 5—COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates with the Funds in a $200 million committed credit facility (“Line of Credit”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. Interest on borrowings is charged at the prevailing rate. There were no borrowings on the Line of Credit during the year.

NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

For the year ended December 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $15,352,408,063 and $18,013,028,628, respectively.

NOTE 7—ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. At December 31, 2008, FIN 48 was applied to the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008, the open tax years subject to regulatory examination. There was no impact to the Fund’s financial statements as a result of applying FIN 48.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Fund will adopt “Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management expects that implementation of FAS 161 will not significantly impact the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

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 Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2008, 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SPECIAL 2008 TAX INFORMATION (unaudited)

The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code:

The Fund designates up to a maximum amount of $841,293,005 of its distributions paid to shareholders in 2008 as qualified dividends (treated for federal income tax purposes in the hands of shareholders as taxable at a maximum rate of 15%).

For shareholders that are corporations, the Fund designates 88% of its ordinary dividends (including short-term gains) paid to shareholders in 2008 as dividends from domestic corporations eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction, provided that the shareholder otherwise satisfies applicable requirements to claim that deduction.

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 15, 2008, 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, 2009. 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

included information regarding advisory fee rates, expense ratios, and transfer agency, custodial and distribution expenses, as well as appropriate performance comparisons to an 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, fund accountant, transfer agent and state registration administrator), 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 copies of the Agreements and a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements. The Trust’s Contract Review Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 3, 2008, and again on December 15, 2008, 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.

DODGE & COX STOCK FUND §PAGE 14

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 that Dodge & Cox provides a wide range of services to the Funds in addition to portfolio management and that the quality of these services has been excellent in all respects. The extensive nature of services provided by Dodge & Cox has been documented in materials provided to the Board and in presentations made to the Board throughout the year. In particular, 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, Global Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Investment Policy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; 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; 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 stewardship ratings and “Star” rankings by Morningstar^®. 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

peer group. In light of recent market volatility, the Board also reviewed recent performance in the context of long-term investment goals. The Board noted that the shorter-term performance of the Funds has been disappointing, particularly with respect to the Stock Fund, which performed below its peer group median. The performance information prepared by Morningstar^® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated more favorable performance over the long term in keeping with the stated goals in the Prospectus. The Board considered that the performance of the Funds is the result of a team-oriented investment management process that emphasizes a long-term investment horizon, independence, comprehensive research, price discipline and focus. The Board also noted that the investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the relevant performance delivered for other (non-fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox has delivered favorable long-term performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.

COSTS AND ANCILLARY BENEFITS

PAGE 15 § DODGE & COX STOCK FUND

substantially below peer group averages in expense ratios and management fee rates and that many media and industry reports specifically comment on the low expense ratios of Dodge & Cox, which along with solid long-term performance, has been a defining characteristic of Dodge & Cox for many years. 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 many of the separate accounts were opened decades ago when fees were lower, and considered that, when coupled with the greater risks and regulatory burdens associated with the high profile mutual fund business, there is reasonable justification for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services they receive (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 noted that net revenues for 2008 reflect a decline in assets under management compared with 2007. The Board recognized 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, stability, company culture and ethics, and management continuity. The Board also considered that revenues reflect the continued success of the Funds and that such revenues are not generated by fees that are high compared to its peers. 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. 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. 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 continuing to increase. 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. In the Board’s view, any consideration of economies of scale must take account of the Funds’ low fee structure and the considerable efficiencies of the Funds’ organization and fee structure that has been realized by shareholders at the outset of their investment (i.e., from the first dollar). Shareholders also realize efficiencies from the outset of their investment due to organizational efficiencies derived from Dodge & Cox’s investment management process (e.g., low portfolio turnover) and the avoidance of distribution and marketing structures whose costs would ultimately be borne by shareholders of the Funds. The Board noted that Dodge & Cox has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Funds over time, and that the internal costs of providing investment management, administrative and compliance services to the Funds are continuing to increase. Thus, the Funds provide access by small investors to top-rank investment management at a relatively low cost. 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 reflects 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.

2008

Annual Report

December 31, 2008

Global Stock

Fund

ESTABLISHED 2008

TICKER: DODWX

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

The Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund had a total return of negative 46.2% since its inception on May 1, 2008, compared to a total return of negative 38.1% for the MSCI World Index (MSCI World) over the same time period. At year end, the Fund had net assets of $468 million with a cash position of 3.4%. Longer-term results appear on page three.

The fourth quarter completed what turned out to be one of the worst years for global equity markets since the Great Depression, as companies and investors incorporated expectations of lower revenue and profits caused by recession. Stock markets in every region around the world suffered meaningful losses, essentially erasing the MSCI World’s gains of the past ten years.

LOOKING BACK

The financial crisis intensified throughout 2008 and manifested itself in falling consumer confidence and declining economic activity around the world. In hindsight, we clearly underestimated the worsening credit crisis, the likelihood of government interventions, the depth and breadth of the ongoing economic problems, and the combined effect of these on many of the Fund’s holdings, particularly within the Financials sector.

In this environment of fear and uncertainty, we saw a flight to safety and shunning of risk. For example, there has been extreme pessimism associated with companies with economic sensitivity or financing needs. Thus, the share prices of companies in the Materials, Industrials, and Information Technology sectors performed poorly, while the share prices of companies in the less economically sensitive areas of the market—Consumer Staples (e.g., food), Telecommunication Services, Utilities, and Health Care—held up relatively well.

LOOKING FORWARD

While the returns resulting from a number of our investment decisions were disappointing since the Fund’s launch in May 2008, we are confident in the Fund’s holdings. Over the past 78 years, our firm has experienced periods of underperformance. We have learned from those past periods just as we are learning from this one, and are incorporating these lessons into our strategy and outlook on an ongoing basis.

During this unique period of extreme volatility and limited liquidity, our equity and fixed income research analysts have reviewed, updated, and stress-tested our financial projections for each of the Fund’s holdings, paying particular attention to potential vulnerabilities to the challenging credit market. We review this work with our analysts while continually monitoring relative values across our investment universe in order to determine the best long-term opportunities on behalf of the Fund’s shareholders. As a result of this review, we trimmed or sold several positions (e.g., Ford, General Motors, and Nortel Networks).

While we have made refinements, maintaining the essence of our investment approach through our firm’s previous challenging periods has been crucial to our long-term success. That approach—using a stable investment team to analyze company fundamentals over a three-to-five year investment horizon in relation to valuations—continues to guide us through this period as well. As we learn and make adjustments, we remain confident that our enduring value-oriented approach will benefit our shareholders in the years ahead.

FINDING OPPORTUNITIES

In light of economic uncertainty, investors are understandably pessimistic about the earnings prospects of businesses whose earnings are economically sensitive, thus severely depressing the valuations of those companies. We continue to find opportunities among these economically sensitive companies that we believe are likely to withstand the current downturn. When the global economy stabilizes, the investment returns from owning these companies may prove to be attractive.

At year end, roughly 57% of the Fund was invested in companies in Information Technology, Industrials, Energy, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors, compared to about 47% for the MSCI World. Examples include Ericsson, a market share leader in wireless network equipment; Schneider, the world’s leader in electricity distribution (e.g., circuit breakers) and power management; and Schlumberger, a dominant oilfield service company in multiple geographies.

PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND

The Fund had 21% of its weighting in Financials compared to 19% for the MSCI World at year end. Despite the continued sell-off during the fourth quarter and still lower valuations, we decided not to add significantly to our positions in acknowledgement of the industry’s disruptions. As banks and other financial services firms provide a necessary role in the global economy, the survivors of this crisis will eventually return to profitability with stronger market positions and higher stock valuations in the long term. We have maintained the Fund’s current positions where we continue to find a compelling investment case.

The Fund’s remaining holdings were companies in sectors perceived to be less economically sensitive—Health Care, Telecommunication Services, Consumer Staples, and Utilities. The Fund had less exposure in these sectors—19% of the Fund compared to 34% for the MSCI World. Within this exposure, 8% of the Fund was invested in pharmaceutical companies due to their low valuations, cost-cutting opportunities, and potential from their drug pipelines. One example is Novartis, which has an impressive research and development effort that could yield promising drug compounds in the future.

THE FUTURE FOR EQUITIES

As fellow shareholders, we share in your disappointment with the Fund’s recent performance.

We are optimistic about the potential for long-term equity returns given the low valuations in the current market. At 11 times trailing 2008 earnings, the market appears inexpensive on an absolute basis and relative to history. This low valuation reflects extreme pessimism about the growth prospects for the global economy and company earnings. A low valuation provides upside potential in the form of better-than-expected earnings and/or a higher prospective valuation. Though the timing is uncertain, we think the forces of technological innovation and free market economic principles in the developing world will allow the global economy to return to growth over our investment horizon.

IN CLOSING

We appreciate the loyalty and confidence our shareholders have displayed through this difficult period. Our experienced investment team is working hard to take advantage of the attractive opportunities being created during this period of economic stress and volatility. Although it is impossible to predict the short-term direction of stock prices, our experience has taught us that persistence in the face of significant market dislocations can potentially be rewarding for patient investors with long-term investment horizons.

Thank you for your continued patience and confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund. We welcome your comments and questions.

John A. Gunn,

DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 2

PERFORMANCE REVIEW SINCE INCEPTION

The Fund lagged the MSCI World by 8.1 percentage points from May 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.

Key Detractors from Relative Results

The Fund’s overweight position and selection of holdings in the Financials sector accounted for most of the Fund’s underperformance. Weak performers included American International Group (AIG, down 97%), Royal Bank of Scotland (down 88%), Fannie Mae (down 98%), and Wachovia (down 81%).

The Fund’s overweight position and selection of holdings in the Information Technology sector hurt performance. Selected weak performers included Nortel Networks (down 97%), Infineon Technologies (down 86%), and Alcatel-Lucent (down 68%).

The Fund’s underweight position (2% versus 11% of the MSCI World at year end) and selection of holdings in the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s Consumer Staples holdings declined 24% compared to a 21% decline in the MSCI World sector.

Key Contributors to Relative Results

The Fund’s overweight position in the Health Care sector (14% versus 12% of the MSCI World at year end) and selection of holdings (down 3% versus down 14%) contributed to relative performance.

The Fund’s Energy holdings, including Occidental Petroleum (down 22%) and Royal Dutch Shell (down 32%), helped relative performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Dodge & Cox Global 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 May 1, 2008. It seeks long-term growth of principal and income, and invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. and 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.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using prevailing exchange rates. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar.

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. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

PAGE 9 § DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign currency The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to hedge portfolio positions and facilitate security transactions in foreign currency-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from unfavorable changes in currency values or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

Foreign currency-denominated assets (including investment securities) and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars each business day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currencies and from changes in currency values between the date recorded and the related settlement/cash payment on securities transactions, dividends, and foreign currency contracts. The effects of currency rate changes on investment securities are included with realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.

NOTE 2—VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, market indices, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008:


Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1: Quoted Prices	$	264,328,260
Level 2: Other Significant Observable Inputs		206,455,986
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs		—

Total	$	470,784,246

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management fees Under a written agreement approved by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees, 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.

DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends 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.

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 a gain is realized on the sale of affected securities.

Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain/(loss) on investments, foreign currency realized gain/(loss), and offering costs. At December 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $670,501,882.

Distributions during the period ended December 31, 2008 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:


		Period Ended December 31, 2008
Ordinary income		$3,126,483
		($0.037 per share)

Long-term capital gain		—

At December 31, 2008, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:


Unrealized appreciation	$	4,284,819
Unrealized depreciation		(204,002,458	)

Net unrealized depreciation		(199,717,639	)
Undistributed ordinary income		16,099
Capital loss carryforward*		(13,362,941	)
Deferred loss**		(10,063,954	)

*	Represents accumulated capital loss which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. If not utilized, the capital loss carryforward will expire in 2016.

**	Represents net realized loss on investments of $9,920,893 and net realized loss on foreign currency of $143,061 incurred between November 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund has elected to treat this loss as arising in 2009.

NOTE 5—COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

For the period ended December 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $713,284,917 and $34,131,046, respectively.

NOTE 7—ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Fund adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. At December 31, 2008, FIN 48 was applied to the period from May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the open tax period subject to regulatory examination. There was no impact to the Fund’s financial statements as a result of applying FIN 48.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of Dodge & Cox Funds and Shareholders of Dodge & Cox Global 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 Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2008, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period indicated, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BOARD APPROVAL OF FUNDS’ INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

AGREEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT FEES

(unaudited)

INFORMATION RECEIVED

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 appropriate performance comparisons to an 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, fund accountant, transfer agent and state registration administrator), 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 copies of the Agreements and a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements. The Trust’s Contract Review Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 3, 2008 and again on December 15, 2008 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.

DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 14

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

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. In light of recent market volatility, the Board also reviewed recent performance in the context of long-term investment goals. The Board noted that the shorter-term performance of the Funds has been disappointing. The Board considered that the performance of the Funds is the result of a team-oriented investment management process that emphasizes a long-term investment horizon, independence, comprehensive research, price discipline and focus. The Board also noted that the investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the relevant performance delivered for other (non-fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox is well positioned to deliver favorable long-term performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.

COSTS AND ANCILLARY BENEFITS

PAGE 15 § DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND

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 and that many media and industry reports specifically comment on the low expense ratios of Dodge & Cox, which along with solid long-term performance, has been a defining characteristic of Dodge & Cox for many years. 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 many of the separate accounts were opened decades ago when fees were lower, and considered that, when coupled with the greater risks and regulatory burdens associated with the high profile mutual fund business, there is reasonable justification for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services they receive (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.

2008

Annual Report

December 31, 2008

International Stock Fund

ESTABLISHED 2001

TICKER: DODFX

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

The Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund had a total return of negative 46.7% for 2008, compared to a total return of negative 43.4% for the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE). At year end, the Fund had net assets of $25.0 billion with a cash position of 2.2%. Longer-term results appear on page three.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The financial crisis intensified throughout 2008 and manifested itself in falling consumer confidence and declining economic activity around the world. In hindsight, we clearly underestimated the worsening credit crisis, the likelihood of government interventions, and the depth and breadth of the ongoing economic problems. This was reflected in disappointing investment results in companies such as Royal Bank of Scotland, American International Group (AIG), and Infineon Technologies.

In this environment of fear and uncertainty, we saw a flight to safety and shunning of risk. For example, there has been extreme pessimism associated with companies with economic sensitivity or financing needs. Thus, the share prices of companies in the Materials, Industrials, and Information Technology sectors performed poorly in the second half of the year, while the share prices of companies in the less economically sensitive areas of the market—Telecommunication Services, Utilities, Consumer Staples (e.g., food), and Health Care—held up relatively well.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DIFFERENTLY IN THIS INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT?

While the returns resulting from our investment decisions were disappointing during 2008, we remain confident in the Fund’s current holdings. Over the past 78 years, our

firm has experienced periods of underperformance. We have learned from these past periods just as we are learning from this one, and are incorporating these lessons into our strategy and outlook on an ongoing basis.

For example, during this unique period of extreme volatility and limited liquidity, our equity and fixed income research analysts have reviewed, updated, and stress-tested our financial projections for each of the Fund’s holdings, paying particular attention to potential vulnerabilities to the challenging credit market. We review this work with our analysts while continually monitoring relative values across our investment universe in order to determine the best long-term opportunities on behalf of the Fund’s shareholders. As a result of this work, we trimmed or sold a handful of holdings (e.g., Qimonda).

WHERE ARE YOU FINDING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TODAY?

In light of economic uncertainty, investors are understandably pessimistic about the earnings prospects of businesses whose earnings are economically sensitive, thus severely depressing the valuations of those companies. We continue to find opportunities among economically sensitive companies that we believe are likely to withstand the current downturn. When the global economy stabilizes, the investment returns from owning these companies may prove to be attractive.

At year end, roughly 55% of the Fund was invested in companies in industries such as Information Technology, Industrials, Energy, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors, compared to 43% for the MSCI EAFE. Examples include Ericsson, a market share leader

PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

in wireless network equipment; Schneider, the world’s leader in electricity distribution (e.g., circuit breakers) and power management; and Naspers, a pay-TV and Internet content developer with leading positions throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, Russia, and China.

A quarter of the Fund was invested in a variety of financial services firms around the world, a significant portion of which provide financial services in the developing world. Growing savings and demand for financial products provide these companies with long-term opportunities. Examples include Banorte, a leading bank in Mexico, and Standard Chartered, a bank with strong positions in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

The Fund’s remaining holdings were companies in sectors perceived to be less economically sensitive—Health Care, Telecommunication Services, Consumer Staples, and Utilities. The Fund had less exposure in these sectors—19% of the Fund compared to 35% for the MSCI EAFE. Within this exposure, 12% of the Fund was invested in pharmaceutical companies due to their low valuations, cost-cutting opportunities, and potential provided by their drug pipelines. An example is Novartis, which has an impressive research and development effort that could yield promising drug compounds in the future.

WHY SHOULD I CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE FUND?

As fellow shareholders, we share in your disappointment with the Fund’s recent performance.

However, we are optimistic about the potential for long-term equity returns given the low valuations in the current market. At nine times trailing 2008 earnings, the market appears inexpensive on an absolute basis and relative to history. This low valuation reflects extreme pessimism about the growth prospects for the global economy and company earnings. A low valuation provides upside potential in the form of better-than-expected earnings and/or a higher prospective valuation. Though the timing is uncertain, we think the forces of technological innovation and free market economic principles in the developing world will allow the global economy to return to growth over our investment horizon.

IN CLOSING

We appreciate the loyalty and confidence our shareholders have displayed through this difficult period. While the Fund did experience net outflows late in the year, they were manageable and represented a small percentage of the Fund’s asset base. Our experienced investment team is working hard to take advantage of the attractive opportunities being created during this period of economic stress and volatility. Although it is impossible to predict the short-term direction of stock prices, our experience has taught us that persistence in the face of significant market dislocations can potentially be rewarding for patient investors with long-term investment horizons.

We appreciate your continued patience and confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

For the Board of Trustees,

John A. Gunn,

Chairman

Senior Vice President

2008 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund lagged the MSCI EAFE by 3.3 percentage points for the year.

Key Detractors from Relative Results

Weak returns from the Fund’s holdings in the Information Technology sector (down 55% compared to down 45% for the MSCI EAFE sector) hurt performance. Infineon Technologies (down 89%), Nortel Networks (down 98%), Motorola (down 72%), Alcatel-Lucent (down 66%), and Nokia (down 59%) were weak performers.

The Fund’s significantly underweight position (0% versus 8% at year end) in the Utilities sector hurt relative performance, as the sector (down 28%) was one of the better performing areas of the market.

The Fund’s overweight position (4% versus 1%) in the poor-performing Construction Materials industry hurt performance. Selected detractors included Lafarge (down 66%) and Cemex (down 64%).

Selected additional holdings that hurt performance included American International Group (AIG, down 96%), Royal Bank of Scotland (down 90%), Unicredit (down 70%), and Sony (down 61%).

Key Contributors to Relative Results

The Fund’s overweight position in the Health Care sector (14% versus 10% at year end), an area of relative strength, contributed to results. Notable performers included Novartis (down 6%), GlaxoSmithKline (down 22%), and Sanofi-Aventis (down 29%).

The Fund’s underweight position in the Metals & Mining industry (1% versus 4% for the MSCI EAFE industry at year end) positively affected performance. Metals & Mining (down 60%) was one of the poorest performing areas of the market.

Selected strong performers included Epcos (up 44%), Seiko Epson (up 26%), and FEMSA (up 19%).

For 2008, the Fund’s active hedging of the Euro and British Pound-Sterling increased performance by 1.3 percentage points. However, U.S. Dollar appreciation had an overall negative effect on the Fund’s performance.

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 commenced operations on May 1, 2001, and 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.

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. In addition, fair values may not reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security at the time of pricing.

DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The effects of currency rate changes on investment securities are included with realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.

NOTE 2—VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, market indices, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008:


Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1: Quoted Prices	$	6,931,474,733
Level 2: Other Significant Observable Inputs		18,005,388,035
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs		—

Total	$	24,936,862,768

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Indemnification Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of

PAGE 11 § DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain (loss) on investments, and foreign currency realized gain/(loss). At December 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $43,405,140,272.

Distributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purpose.


	Year Ended December 31, 2008	Year Ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income	$1,043,595,329	$1,767,337,129
	($1.000 per share)	($1.603 per share)

Long-term capital gain	$1,589,047,446	$1,276,920,460
	($1.522 per share)	($1.158 per share)

At December 31, 2008, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:


Unrealized appreciation	$	398,396,487
Unrealized depreciation		(18,867,194,239	)

Net unrealized depreciation		(18,468,797,752	)
Undistributed ordinary income		38,173,342
Deferred loss**		(1,807,462,817	)

**	Represents net realized loss incurred between November 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund has elected to treat this loss as arising in 2009.

NOTE 5—COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

For the year ended December 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $14,881,338,908 and $15,266,062,749, 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 Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2008, 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, 2008 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)

INFORMATION RECEIVED

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 appropriate performance comparisons to an 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, fund accountant, transfer agent and state registration administrator), 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 copies of the Agreements and a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements. The Trust’s Contract Review Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 3, 2008 and again on December 15, 2008 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

PAGE 15 § DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND

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

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

peer group. In light of recent market volatility, the Board also reviewed recent performance in the context of long-term investment goals. The Board noted that the shorter-term performance of the Funds has been disappointing. The performance information prepared by Morningstar^® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated more favorable performance over the long term in keeping with the stated goals in the Prospectus. The Board considered that the performance of the Funds is the result of a team-oriented investment management process that emphasizes a long-term investment horizon, independence, comprehensive research, price discipline and focus. The Board also noted that the investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the relevant performance delivered for other (non-fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox has delivered favorable long-term 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, including the following: Dodge & Cox has a centralized focus on investment management operations and derives revenue solely from management fees; its outsourcing of non-advisory support services to unaffiliated third-party service providers is efficient and less costly to investors; Dodge & Cox does not charge front-end sales commissions or distribution fees and bears all third party research and distribution-related costs as well as reimbursements to third-party retirement plan administrators; the Funds receive numerous administrative, regulatory compliance, and shareholder support services from Dodge & Cox without any additional administrative fee; and the fact that the Funds have 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 and that many media and industry reports specifically comment on the low expense ratios of Dodge & Cox, which along

with solid long-term performance, has been a defining characteristic of Dodge & Cox for many years. 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 many of the separate accounts were opened decades ago when fees were lower, and considered that, when coupled with the greater risks and regulatory burdens associated with the high profile mutual fund business, there is reasonable justification for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services they receive (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.

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 continuing to increase. The Board concluded that the profitability of Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.

2008

Annual Report

December 31, 2008

Balanced Fund

ESTABLISHED 1931

TICKER: DODBX

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

The Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund had a total return of negative 33.6% for 2008, compared to a total return of negative 22.1% for the Combined Index (60% S&P 500/40% BCAG)¹. At year end, the Fund was 67% invested in equities, 31% in fixed income securities, and 2% cash. Net assets of the Fund were $14.7 billion. Longer-term results appear on page five.

LOOKING BACK

The past year was one of the most disappointing in the Balanced Fund’s 77-year history and the worst year for the broad equity market since 1931. As we reflect on 2008, we clearly underestimated the worsening credit crisis, the likelihood of government interventions, the depth and breadth of the ongoing economic problems, and the combined effect of these on many of the Fund’s holdings, particularly within the Financials sector.

valuation relative to underlying fundamentals—continues to guide us through this period as well. As we learn and make adjustments, we remain confident that our enduring, value-oriented approach will benefit our shareholders in the years ahead.

Founded in 1930, our firm has weathered past financial storms and we will weather this one as well. We are independently owned by our current employees, have no debt, and have kept our employee count low. We have no need for layoffs, and in fact have continued to invest in our most important resource—people—by maintaining a pattern of hiring one or two new analysts per year. Our independence gives us the staying power to stick with our convictions and maintain our focus on the long term. Our firm’s foremost objective is to provide high quality investment management service to our clients.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Asset Allocation

The Fund ended the year with 67% of its assets invested in equities, and had just over 70% of its assets in equities at various points throughout the year. This higher weighting (relative to the 60% equity weighting in the Combined Index) was detrimental, given extremely weak equity returns. Although we are disappointed with the outcome of the asset allocation in 2008, we remain confident in the decision-making process which led to the allocation. Our bottom-up process weighs the relative attractiveness among equity securities and fixed income alternatives. Our analysts build informed views of what the key drivers are for each and every investment and focus on how different macroeconomic and company-specific scenarios could affect the value of the investment over the next three to five years. We also constantly ask ourselves what could go wrong—and to what degree—and build a diversified portfolio in our efforts to strike an appropriate balance between long-term investment risk and reward.

This process has reinforced our conviction about the attractiveness of equities, which is reflected by the relatively high equity weighting in the Fund. Admittedly, we were similarly confident entering 2008. However, we measure successful investing in years rather than quarters,

PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND

and as equity market valuations have declined relative to alternatives we have continued to lean toward equities.

EQUITY PORTFOLIO

In our regular discussions with management teams we hear how they are responding to the downturn. Many companies are reducing costs, improving processes, reconsidering strategies, and looking for growth and market share opportunities as competitors struggle. The survivors should be better positioned and more profitable when the economy does turn around. Examples of portfolio holdings gaining market share and/or aggressively cutting costs include Hewlett-Packard, Comcast, Pfizer, FedEx, Schlumberger, and Wal-Mart.

Second, the U.S. economy has been through difficult periods before—it has survived wars, flu pandemics, inflation, labor unrest, and terrorist attacks. Pessimism during these periods—just like optimism during upturns—can become pervasive. However, the U.S. and global economies are resilient and, while setbacks have occurred throughout history, equity investors have been rewarded over the long term.

the global economy stabilizes and recovers, attractive nominal returns could be achieved.

Two sectors in the crosshairs of technological innovation and growth in the developing world are Health Care and Information Technology. At year end, 29% of the equity portfolio was invested in Health Care stocks, primarily in global pharmaceutical companies (e.g., Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline). Pharmaceuticals are faced with many regulatory challenges, but are trading at historically low valuations and are in financially strong condition. They continue to innovate, and should benefit from increased demand as discretionary income in the developing world increases. Another 18% of the equity portfolio was invested in Information Technology stocks, including a number of software and services companies (e.g., BMC Software, Citrix Systems, and Computer Sciences), that have solid balance sheets and high recurring revenues from clients who are dependent on them to maintain their businesses.

A Thought on Financials

As you will read below, the performance of several of the portfolio’s holdings in the Financials sector was breathtakingly bad. And given that the root of today’s economic turmoil lies in the banking system, it is not an unfair question to ask why one would invest in this area at all. As of year end, 11% of the equity portfolio was invested in Financials compared to 13% of the S&P 500. Despite the continued sell-off during the fourth quarter and still lower valuations, we decided not to add significantly to positions in acknowledgement of the industry’s disruptions. At the same time, we did not sell the Fund’s positions with the rationale that term banks and other financial services firms provide a necessary long-term

DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND §PAGE 2

role in the global economy, and the survivors of this crisis will eventually return to profitability with stronger market positions and higher stock valuations. As we discussed earlier, we are fully cognizant of the challenges and risks in this area and are monitoring the Fund’s holdings.

FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO

Market pricing of fixed income instruments (e.g., U.S. Treasury yields at all-time lows, corporate yield premiums near all-time highs) has responded vigorously to the negative economic news, but the new consensus, which incorporates expectations for a severe and multi-year economic downturn, appears too pessimistic to us. With the backdrop of extraordinary monetary and (most likely) fiscal policies aimed at arresting the economy’s decline, current valuations of many corporate securities appear attractive for a long-term investor. For example, the elevated yield levels of investment-grade Corporate securities relative to U.S. Treasuries imply a default rate among investment-grade Corporates that is a multiple of the previous 1938 high. In response to these opportunities, we have raised the emphasis on the Corporate sector in the fixed income portion of the Fund, as always with a strong focus on individual security selection.

In the most recent quarter, for example, we established new positions in two investment-grade corporate issuers and added to several existing holdings. At year end, the fixed income portion of the Fund held a 57% weighting in Corporates (up from 42% at year-end 2007) spread among 42 individual issuers in 16 different industries.

We reduced the Fund’s holdings of Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE)-guaranteed² Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) in the fourth quarter from 49% a year ago to just over 37%. Despite lagging the spectacular returns of U.S. Treasuries, the Fund’s GSE-guaranteed MBS have fulfilled a critically important role throughout the current crisis, delivering solid returns (this sector of the BCAG returned 8.3% in 2008) while retaining their liquidity. Recently, U.S. Government efforts to reduce mortgage rates have begun to bear fruit: MBS rates and yield premiums have come down

significantly and most MBS trade at a premium to par. New, lower mortgage rates create greater prepayment risk for existing mortgage securities, leading us to favor—on the margin—opportunities among corporate securities. However, the Fund has retained a significant weighting in GSE-guaranteed MBS due to their creditworthiness and attractive total return potential.

The Fund held few U.S. Treasuries during 2008, which was a detriment to performance as this sector delivered excellent returns due to its “safe haven” status. As a result, at year end, short-term U.S. Treasuries offered near-zero yields while longer-term Treasuries, whose prices are most sensitive to changes in yields, offered yields below 3%. While the safety of these securities’ principal is intuitively attractive in a period of distress, their ultimate value will be judged by what they return to investors over the long term. With these yields as starting points, the long-term outlook for returns from this sector is not promising.

IN CLOSING

Investing can be a humbling endeavor. This past year has been humbling for us twofold. First, a number of our investment decisions—made based on considerable research, discussion and debate—proved to be wrong. Second, we have been humbled by the loyalty and confidence our shareholders have displayed through this difficult period. While the Fund did experience net outflows during the year, the outflows were manageable. By and large what we have heard from shareholders is not only disappointment with our recent returns, but confidence in Dodge & Cox and our investment approach. As fellow shareholders in the Fund, we share in these sentiments.

Our experienced investment team is working hard to take advantage of the attractive opportunities being created during this period of economic stress and volatility. Although it is impossible to predict the short-term direction of securities prices, our experience has taught us that persistence in the face of significant market dislocations can be potentially rewarding for patient investors with long-term investment horizons.

The Combined Index reflects an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, which is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices, and 40% of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (BCAG), which is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of U.S. dollar denominated investment-grade fixed-income securities.

The U.S. Government does not guarantee the Fund’s shares, yield and net asset value. The guarantee does not eliminate market risk.

2008 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund lagged the Combined Index by 11.5 percentage points for the year

Key Detractors from Relative Results

The Fund’s overweighting of equities throughout the year relative to the Combined Index was detrimental, given the extremely weak returns from equities (S&P 500 down 37%).

The Fund’s equity holdings underperformed the S&P 500. Financials holdings (down 71% versus down 55% for the S&P 500 sector) had the largest negative impact on performance. AIG, Wachovia, and Citigroup were all significant detractors.

The equity portfolio’s higher average weighting in the Consumer Discretionary sector (22% versus 8% for the S&P 500 sector), in combination with the underperformance of the sector’s holdings (down 41% versus down 33%), detracted. Sony (down 59%) and News Corp. (down 55%) lagged.

The Fund’s fixed income portfolio return lagged the BCAG. A high relative weighting in the very weak Corporate bond sector, along with few holdings in the best performing U.S. Treasury sector, were the primary factors behind the underperformance.

Key Contributors to Relative Results

Within the equity portfolio, the Fund’s higher average weighting in the Health Care sector (23% versus 13% for the S&P 500 sector) was beneficial, as both the Fund’s holdings and the S&P 500 sector (both down 23%) declined less than the overall market. In particular, Amgen (up 24%) was strong.

Strong equity holdings included Rohm and Haas (up 42% to date of sale) Wal-Mart Stores (up 20%), and Electronic Data Systems (up 18% to date of sale).

The sizable nominal yield advantage for the fixed income portfolio benefited returns relative to the BCAG.

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.

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. 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 computerized pricing models. 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 computerized pricing models. 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.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income includes coupon interest, amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, and gain/loss 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. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2—VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, market indices, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008:


Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1: Quoted Prices	$	9,860,063,800
Level 2: Other Significant Observable Inputs		4,709,326,252
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs*		16,361,785

Total	$	14,585,751,837

Represents preferred shares (Preferred Blocker, Inc., a subsidiary of GMAC, LLC) received on December 31, 2008 pursuant to an exchange offer. Beginning in early January 2009, quoted prices were used to value these shares.

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain/(loss), paydown loss, and defaulted fixed income securities. At December 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $19,728,289,898.

Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund adopted, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. At December 31, 2008, FIN 48 was applied to the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008, the open tax years subject to regulatory examination. There was no impact to the Fund’s financial statements as a result of applying FIN 48.

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 Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2008, 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, fund accountant, transfer agent and state registration administrator), 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 copies of the Agreements and a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements. The Trust’s Contract Review Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 3, 2008 and again on December 15, 2008 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.

NATURE, QUALITY, AND EXTENT OF THE SERVICES

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

information prepared by Morningstar^® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated more favorable performance over the long term in keeping with the stated goals in the Prospectus. The Board considered that the performance of the Funds is the result of a team-oriented investment management process that emphasizes a long-term investment horizon, independence, comprehensive research, price discipline and focus. The Board also noted that the investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the relevant performance delivered for other (non-fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox has delivered favorable long-term performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.

COSTS AND ANCILLARY BENEFITS

DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND §PAGE 18

many of the separate accounts were opened decades ago when fees were lower, and considered that, when coupled with the greater risks and regulatory burdens associated with the high profile mutual fund business, there is reasonable justification for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services they receive (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.

Dodge & Cox’s relationship with the Funds (including fall-out benefits) was fair and reasonable.

2008

Annual Report

December 31, 2008

Income Fund

ESTABLISHED 1989

TICKER: DODIX

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

The Dodge & Cox Income Fund had a total return of negative 0.3% for 2008, compared to 5.2% for the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (BCAG)¹. At year end, the Fund had net assets of $13.8 billion with a cash position of 3.0%. Longer-term results appear on page four.

The Fund’s relative performance results since the mid-2007 onset of the credit crisis have been disappointing. As we reflect on the past year, we clearly underestimated the worsening credit crisis, the likelihood of government interventions, the depth and breadth of the ongoing economic difficulties, and the combined effect of these on many of the Fund’s holdings.

Despite the disappointing recent performance, we are confident in the Fund’s holdings. The Fund has experienced periods of underperformance in the past. We have learned from these past episodes just as we are learning from this one and are incorporating these lessons into our strategy and outlook on an ongoing basis. While we have made refinements, maintaining the essence of our investment approach through previous challenging periods for the Fund has been crucial to subsequent periods of success. That approach—constructing a diversified portfolio through in-depth, independent research, a three-to-five year investment horizon, and a focus on valuation relative to underlying fundamentals— continues to guide us through this period as well.

MARKET COMMENTARY

An extraordinary year in the financial markets was capped by an extremely volatile fourth quarter that featured more government efforts to unfreeze debt markets and restore investor confidence. The U.S. economy deteriorated significantly over the course of the year, and by year’s end was officially declared to be in a recession. The net result was a substantial rally among U.S. Treasury securities, an increase in corporate bond risk premiums to all-time highs (triple the level from the beginning of 2008), a 37% drop in the broad U.S. equity market, and a clear macroeconomic illustration of what happens to a major developed economy when the flow of credit stops abruptly.

Over the year the unemployment rate spiked from 4.9% to 7.2% (the highest level in 15 years) and the U.S.

economy shed over 2.6 million jobs (the worst annual job loss since 1945). Consumer spending fell, dragged down by plunging car sales, and manufacturing and service sector activity slowed significantly. Home prices continued to decline and housing activity levels (home building, new and existing home sales) remain depressed. One bright spot for consumers was the dramatic retreat of oil prices in the second half of the year, from $140/barrel to $45/barrel.

The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, and Congress introduced a series of policies and programs to restart the short-term debt markets, aid homeowners, recapitalize and provide liquidity to major financial institutions, and bolster investor confidence. Programs with acronyms like TARP, TLGP, TALF, and H4H have quickly become a part of the new financial market lexicon. The result of these programs has been a historic level of U.S. government involvement in a large cross-section of the U.S. debt market. In addition, the Federal Reserve lowered the target federal funds rate to close to zero, compared to 4.25% a year ago. These efforts have achieved some success of late as short-term debt markets have recovered somewhat, mortgage rates have come down substantially, and investment-grade Corporate issuance roared back in December after grinding to a halt in the summer/early fall. Despite these positive developments, capital markets remain fragile with varying levels of liquidity.

Financial market volatility can have many causes, including unanticipated changes in economic circumstances, a significant change in investor risk appetite or confidence, or a combination of these and other factors. Given the volatility of financial markets in 2008, we are frequently asked how we manage the Fund through these periods and what lessons we have learned.

MANAGING THROUGH VOLATILITY

Through periods of volatility we lean on the experience and depth of our team (our nine-member policy committee has an average tenure of 15 years, and is supported by over 50 industry analysts, research associates, and traders), our time-tested investment philosophy, and our willingness to go against the grain if a compelling

PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX INCOME FUND

long-term investment opportunity presents itself in a currently out-of-favor area.

In line with this, we consider adjustments to the composition of the Fund in response to changes in the fundamental factors and circumstances affecting an investment, a substantial move in its valuation (absolute or relative), or a combination of the two. When fundamentals and/or valuations change meaningfully for an existing investment, we examine our original thesis by incorporating as much new information as possible, then asking ourselves whether this investment remains an attractive long-term opportunity. This process is similar for a potential new investment to the Fund, and is the typical catalyst for changes to the Fund’s overall composition.

Over the past year this process has resulted in new additions to the Fund, as well as subtractions, some of which we detail below. Importantly, the discipline and thoroughness of this process are not a guarantee against mistakes. They do, however, keep us focused on facts and analysis, rather than allowing the emotions of a particularly challenging period in the financial markets to sway us from being a good, long-term steward of your capital.

There has been no shortage of learning opportunities in the credit crisis to date. To name a few: the surprising degree of correlation between securities and sectors whose fundamental sources of risk seem unrelated; the fleeting nature of liquidity in what had historically been dependably liquid markets; the degree to which a crisis shortens the collective investment world’s investment horizon; and the realization that market perceptions of a company’s risk can quickly become self-fulfilling prophecies.

An outgrowth of some of these hard-earned lessons was the incorporation of a deeper liquidity review into our corporate bond research process. While a liquidity analysis has been an important part of our company research process for a long time, the exigencies of this crisis required a re-examination of some elements of our liquidity analysis, especially in regard to access to markets for further funding, and the ability to monetize assets at a reasonable price and in a timely manner.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

While there were some encouraging signs of moderation of financial market stress toward year end, the direction of the broad economy has been sharply downward. Market pricing of fixed income instruments (e.g., U.S. Treasury yields at all-time lows, corporate yield premiums near all-time highs) has responded vigorously to the negative economic news, but the new consensus, which incorporates expectations for a severe and multi-year economic downturn, appears too pessimistic to us. With the backdrop of extraordinary monetary and (most likely) fiscal policies aimed at arresting the economy’s decline, current valuations of many corporate securities appear attractive for a long-term investor and we have raised the Fund’s emphasis on the Corporate sector, as always with a strong focus on individual security selection.

For example, the elevated yield levels of investment-grade corporate securities relative to U.S. Treasuries imply a default rate among investment-grade Corporates that is a multiple of the previous 1938 high. While we do expect defaults to rise over the near term in line with the obvious deterioration of the economy, we do not expect the level implied by current valuations and see opportunities to take advantage of this dislocation. In the most recent quarter, for example, we established new positions in two investment-grade corporate issuers and added to several existing holdings. At year end the Fund held a 43.5% weighting in Corporates (up from 34.6% at year-end 2007) spread among 42 individual issuers in 16 different industries.

We slightly reduced the Fund’s holdings of Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE)-guaranteed² Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) in the fourth quarter from 50% to just over 46%. Despite lagging the spectacular returns of U.S. Treasuries, the Fund’s GSE-guaranteed MBS have fulfilled a critically important role throughout the current crisis, delivering solid returns (this sector of the BCAG returned 8.3% in 2008) while retaining their liquidity. Recently, U.S. Government efforts to reduce mortgage rates have begun to bear fruit: MBS rates and yield premiums have come down significantly and most MBS trade at a premium to par. New, lower mortgage rates create greater prepayment risk

DODGE & COX INCOME FUND §PAGE 2

for existing mortgage securities, leading us to favor—on the margin—opportunities among corporate securities. However, the Fund has retained a significant weighting in GSE-guaranteed MBS due to their creditworthiness and attractive total return potential.

The Fund continues to de-emphasize the U.S. Treasury sector. This sector delivered excellent returns in 2008, benefiting from its “safe haven” status during the economic and financial turmoil. As a result, at year end, short-term U.S. Treasuries offered near-zero yields while longer-term Treasuries, whose prices are most sensitive to changes in yields, offered yields below 3%. While the safety of these securities’ principal is intuitively attractive in a period of distress, their ultimate value will be judged by what they return to investors over the long term. With these yields as starting points, the long-term outlook for returns from this sector is not compelling, leading us to keep a low weighting focused on shorter maturities.

IN CLOSING

Investing can be a humbling endeavor. This past year has been humbling for us twofold. First, a number of our investment decisions—made based on considerable research, discussion, and debate—proved to be wrong. Second, we have been humbled by the loyalty and confidence our shareholders have displayed through this difficult period. While the Fund did experience net outflows during the year, the outflows were manageable and represented a small percentage of the Fund’s asset base. By and large what we have heard from shareholders is disappointment with our recent returns, but also confidence in Dodge & Cox and our investment approach. As fellow shareholders in the Fund, we share in these sentiments.

Our experienced investment team is working hard to take advantage of the attractive opportunities being created during this period of economic stress and volatility. Although it is impossible to predict the short-term direction of markets, our experience has taught us that persistence in the face of significant market dislocations can potentially be rewarding for patient investors with long-term investment horizons.

Thank you for your continued patience and confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Income Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

2008 PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund lagged the BCAG by 5.5 percentage points for the year.

The primary source of the underperformance was the Fund’s overweighting of the Corporate (by 19 percentage points) and GSE-guaranteed MBS (by 9 percentage points) sectors, and a corresponding underweighting of the U.S. Treasury sector. As measured by Barclays Capital Indices, the U.S. Treasury sector returned 13.7% for the year, compared to 8.3% for GSE-guaranteed MBS and negative 4.9% for Corporates. In addition, several of the Fund’s corporate holdings, including Kaupthing Bank, Dillard’s, Macy’s, and GMAC (despite its recent partial recovery), performed very poorly during 2008. Finally, the U.S. Treasuries that the Fund held were generally of short maturity, which significantly lagged the performance of longer-maturity Treasuries.

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 computerized pricing models. 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 computerized pricing models. 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.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Repurchase agreements The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government or agency 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—VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, market indices, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008:


Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1: Quoted Prices	$	285,943,151

NOTE 3—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management fees Under a written agreement approved by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees, 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.

NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term realized gain/(loss), paydown loss, and defaulted fixed income securities. At December 31, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting purposes.

Distributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:


	Year Ended December 31, 2008		Year Ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income	$	842,066,629	$	742,086,333
		($0.675 per share)		($0.635 per share)
Long-term capital gain		—		—

At December 31, 2008, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:


Unrealized appreciation	$	201,652,833
Unrealized depreciation		(1,011,055,269	)

Net unrealized depreciation		(809,402,436	)
Undistributed ordinary income		12,291,572
Capital loss carryforward*		(94,989,305	)
Deferred loss**		(191,095,727	)

Represents accumulated capital loss as of December 31, 2008 which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. During 2008, the Fund utilized $4,267,673 of this capital loss carryforward. If not utilized, the remaining carryforward expires as follows:


Expiring in 2011	$	3,015,471
Expiring in 2012		32,528,048
Expiring in 2013		19,963,019
Expiring in 2014		39,482,767

	$	94,989,305

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 Dodge & Cox Income Fund (the “Fund”, one of the series constituting Dodge & Cox Funds) at December 31, 2008, 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, 2008 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)

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 appropriate performance comparisons to an 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

PAGE 15 § DODGE & COX INCOME FUND

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, fund accountant, transfer agent and state registration administrator), 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 copies of the Agreements and a memorandum from the Independent Legal Counsel to the Independent Trustees, discussing the factors generally regarded as appropriate to consider in evaluating advisory arrangements. The Trust’s Contract Review Committee, consisting solely of Independent Trustees, met with the Independent Legal Counsel on December 3, 2008 and again on December 15, 2008 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.

NATURE, QUALITY, AND EXTENT OF THE SERVICES

services provided by Dodge & Cox has been documented in materials provided to the Board and in presentations made to the Board throughout the year. In particular, 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, Global Investment Policy Committee, Fixed Income Investment Policy Committee and research analysts responsible for managing the Funds; Dodge & Cox’s organizational structure; 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; 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 stewardship ratings and “Star” rankings by Morningstar^®. 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. In light of recent market volatility, the Board also reviewed recent performance in the context of long-term investment goals. The Board noted that the shorter-term performance of the Funds has been disappointing. The performance information prepared by Morningstar^® and Dodge & Cox demonstrated more favorable performance over the long term in keeping with the stated goals in the Prospectus. The Board considered that the performance of the Funds is the result of a team-oriented investment management process that emphasizes a long-term investment horizon, independence,

DODGE & COX INCOME FUND §PAGE 16

comprehensive research, price discipline and focus. The Board also noted that the investment performance delivered by Dodge & Cox to the Funds appeared to be consistent with the relevant performance delivered for other (non-fund) clients of Dodge & Cox. The Board concluded that Dodge & Cox is well positioned to deliver favorable long-term performance for Fund investors consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Funds.

COSTS AND ANCILLARY BENEFITS

reasonable justification for differences in fee rates charged between the two lines of business. The Board concluded that costs incurred by the Funds for the services they receive (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.

PAGE 17 § DODGE & COX INCOME FUND

THE BENEFIT OF 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 copy of the code of ethics effective December 15, 2008 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 and Compliance 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:


	2008		2007
Audit Fees	$	225,000	$	191,720
Audit-Related Fees		26,250		22,400
Tax Fees		87,600		66,380
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 related to the registrant’s semi-annual financial statements and internal controls. Tax fees include amounts related to tax advice and tax return preparation, compliance, and reviews.

(e) (1) The registrant’s Audit and Compliance Committee has adopted policies and procedures (“Policies”) which require the registrant’s Audit and Compliance Committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the registrant. The policies also require the Audit and Compliance 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 financial reporting. 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 and Compliance Committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by a designated Audit and Compliance Committee member with ratification at the next scheduled Audit and Compliance 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% 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 $452,000 and $450,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services described under (g) above that were not pre-approved by the registrant’s Audit and Compliance Committee were considered by the registrant’s Audit and Compliance Committee and found to be compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

(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.
