Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2012
Stock Fund
ESTABLISHED 1965
TICKER: DODGX
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
The Dodge & Cox Stock Fund had a total return of 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 9.5% for the S&P 500 Index. On June 30, the Fund had net assets of $38.2 billion with a cash position of 1.4%.
MARKET COMMENTARY
After a strong first quarter in which the S&P 500 rose 12.6%, the market fell 2.8% during the second quarter and ended the first half of 2012 up 9.5%. Market returns during the second quarter of the year were characterized by an increase in volatility, as macroeconomic concerns continued to weigh heavily on investors. Although first quarter estimated GDP growth was revised down to 1.9%, the modest U.S. economic recovery continued. Reported unemployment declined to 8.2%, inflation and interest rates remained low, consumer credit expanded, home prices rose, and residential real estate began to show signs of recovery. Since March 2009, corporate earnings have grown faster than stock prices, which we believe has created compelling valuations for stocks. On June 30, the S&P 500 was trading at 13 times forward(a) earnings.
Eurozone economic concerns have contributed to investor anxiety around the world. The growth previously seen in some emerging markets—such as China, India, and Brazil—has slowed. The decline in oil prices has negatively impacted the health of those emerging markets dependent on oil revenues, such as Russia, although it benefits the U.S. consumer. Political turmoil in the Middle East also continues to feed uncertainty. Closer to home, fear-based investing has caused a “flight” to perceived safety, driving the yields on U.S. Treasuries to all-time lows.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Despite the current turmoil, we are confident in our longstanding approach to investing, which emphasizes bottom-up stock selection with a focus on intensive fundamental analysis. Over time, we have built sizeable positions in established franchises at attractive valuations. We continue to have confidence in the long-term outlook for the Fund. Here is an assessment of four of the Fund’s largest holdings, two of which have helped the Fund’s six-month results, and two of which have hurt.(b)
Strong Performers: Wells Fargo and Comcast
Wells Fargo (4.4% of the Fund on June 30) and Comcast (4.3%) helped the Fund’s relative results in the first half of the year. Although investors’ fears did negatively impact many financial services firms with capital market operations, well-run banks such as Wells Fargo have proved more resilient. Wells Fargo, the second largest U.S. bank by deposits, ended the first half of the year up 23%. The company has strong consumer and small business banking franchises, is gaining market share, and remains attractively valued relative to its peers.
Comcast rose 36% in the first half of the year. The Fund has held Comcast since 2002, and we continue to be optimistic about its prospects. It is the largest pay-television and residential broadband service provider in the United States and operates a strong portfolio of cable networks. In addition, Comcast has growth potential from its broadband internet business and from expanding its services to business customers. Over the past four years, Comcast has generated consistent free cash flow growth; on June 30, it traded at an enterprise value of 6.6 times estimated 2013 EBITDA.(c)
Weak Performers: Hewlett-Packard and Novartis
Hewlett-Packard (3.4% of the Fund on June 30) and Novartis (2.4%) both hurt relative results in the first half of the year. Hewlett-Packard, down 21% year to date, has been one of the Fund’s largest holdings for the past several years. The company has struggled recently with management changes, acquisition integrations, and disappointing earnings. Despite these concerns, we have confidence in the company’s prospects due to its collection of durable business franchises (such as printers and servers), attractive valuation (trading at 0.3 times sales and 4.7 times forward earnings on June 30), CEO Meg Whitman and her management team, and scale advantages from its position as one of the largest technology companies in the world.
Novartis, a Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer whose return was 2% year to date, has seen its stock price impacted by Eurozone concerns over the past several years. We note, though, that less than half of its revenues
PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX STOCK FUND
are from Europe, and the valuation appears compelling (trading at 2.3 times sales and 9.6 times forward earnings on June 30). In addition, Novartis has growth potential from an encouraging pipeline of new compounds and other medical products, such as eye care.
Our investment decisions for the Fund are not based on recent share price performance alone. Importantly, we also consider the current valuation and our assessment of the long-term fundamental outlook for each holding. Our investment process and team remain unchanged. Our 24 equity analysts have been with the firm for an average of 12 years, and the nine members of the Investment Policy Committee managing the Fund have an average tenure with Dodge & Cox of 27 years. We believe that the Fund’s portfolio of 75 stocks is well positioned in areas of long-term growth, such as technology, media, and health care.
IN CLOSING
Uncertainty associated with the Eurozone debt crisis has been a lingering concern for companies in Europe and the United Kingdom in general and banks in particular (representing 16.6% and 1.2%, respectively, of the Fund on June 30). The Fund had no holdings domiciled in the peripheral countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain), and all of the Fund’s European holdings are multinational firms that derive significant revenues outside of Europe.
Despite slowing economic conditions worldwide and mixed recent economic data in the United States, we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for equities. Valuations have been pushed to low levels, reflecting investors’ low expectations and risk aversion. Earnings growth has remained positive, and consumer activity has improved. We believe that the combination of low valuations and optimism about future growth creates opportunities for patient, long-term investors.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following example shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The example assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER MUTUAL FUNDS
Information on the second line of the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio of the Fund and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses (not the Fund’s actual return). The amount under the heading “Expense Paid During the Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other mutual funds.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2012 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2012 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,098.20 | | | $ | 2.74 | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,022.25 | | | | 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 182/366 (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. Though 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).

In cases where the Fund considers the country of incorporation to be a “jurisdiction of convenience” chosen primarily for tax purposes, the Fund uses the country designation of an appropriate broad-based market index. In that circumstance, two countries are listed - the country of incorporation and the country designated by an appropriate index, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Listed securities are valued at market, using 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. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or when the Fund first learns of the dividend/corporate action if the ex-dividend date has passed. 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. Dividends characterized as return of capital 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 based on relative net assets or other expense methodologies determined by the nature of the expense.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements The Fund enters 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.
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 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 |
PAGE 9 § DODGE & COX STOCK FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
§ | | 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 Fund management’s 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 holdings as of June 30, 2012:
| | | | | | | | |
Security Classification(a) | | LEVEL 1 (Quoted Prices) | | | LEVEL 2 (Other Significant Observable Inputs) | |
Common Stocks(b) | | $ | 37,685,841,282 | | | $ | — | |

(b) | All common stocks held in the Fund are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of common stocks by major industry classification, please refer to the Portfolio of Investments. |
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.
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, and such amounts may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences at year end to reflect tax character.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, in-kind redemptions, and net short-term realized gain (loss). During the period, the Fund recognized net realized gains of $59,680,161 from the delivery of appreciated securities in an in-kind redemption transaction. For federal income tax purposes, this gain is not recognized as taxable income to the Fund and therefore will not be distributed to shareholders. At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $36,330,937,034.
Distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | | $399,366,815 | | | | $664,086,748 | |
| | | ($1.14 per share) | | | | ($1.754 per share) | |
| | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | — | |
At June 30, 2012, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,500,197,260 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (4,859,166,858 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 1,641,030,402 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 20,259,572 | |
Accumulated capital gain(a) | | | 1,604,502,340 | |
Capital loss carryforward(b) | | | (5,853,733,576 | ) |
(a) | Represents capital gain realized for tax purposes during the period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012. |
(b) | Represents accumulated capital loss as of December 31, 2011, which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. During 2011, the Fund utilized $443,284,672 of the carryforward. If not utilized, the remaining capital loss carryforward will expire in 2017. |
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after January 1, 2011, will not be subject to expiration.
DODGE & COX STOCK FUND §PAGE 10
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the years preceding enactment. (The Fund had net capital gains in 2011.)
Fund management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (three years and four years, respectively, from filing the Fund’s Federal and State tax returns) as applicable to the Fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 5—LOAN FACILITIES
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility (Facility). The Facility allows the Fund to borrow money from or loan money to the Funds. Loans under the Facility are made for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest on borrowings is the average of the current repurchase agreement rate and the bank loan rate. There was no activity in the Facility during the period.
All Funds in the Trust participate in a $500 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. The maximum amount available to the Fund is $250 million. Each Fund pays an annual commitment fee on its pro-rata portion of the Line of Credit. The Fund’s commitment fee for the six months ended June 30, 2012, amounted to $87,014 and is reflected as a Miscellaneous Expense in the Statement of Operations. Interest on borrowings is charged at the prevailing rate. There were no borrowings on the Line of Credit during the period.
NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $2,240,733,602 and $4,046,146,749, respectively.
NOTE 7—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Fund management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2012, and through the date of the Fund’s financial statements issuance, which require additional disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 8—HOLDINGS OF 5% VOTING SECURITIES
Each of the companies listed below was considered to be an affiliate of the Fund because the Fund owned 5% or more of the company’s voting securities during all or part of the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Printed on recycled paper
Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2012
Global Stock
Fund
ESTABLISHED 2008
TICKER: DODWX
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
The Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund had a total return of 6.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 5.9% for the MSCI World Index. On June 30, the Fund had net assets of $2.1 billion with a cash position of 2.0%.
MARKET COMMENTARY
After a strong first quarter in which the MSCI World rose 11.6%, the market fell 5.1% during the second quarter and ended the first half of 2012 up 5.9%. In the first quarter, investor optimism increased as companies reported healthy earnings, concerns about Eurozone banks were alleviated with the liquidity provided by the European Central Bank, and job growth in the United States was robust. In the second quarter, questions about the fate of the euro and potential impact of austerity measures on European economies resurfaced. Manufacturing activity in China and employment growth in the United States also showed signs of slowing down.
Equity valuations have declined to low levels: the MSCI World traded at 14 times trailing earnings on June 30. Low valuations have historically been associated with attractive subsequent long-term returns. As a result, we continue to believe that now is a compelling time to invest in equities.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Our longstanding approach to investing remains unchanged. We practice bottom-up stock selection based on intensive fundamental analysis. Investment decisions for the Fund are based on current valuation relative to our assessment of the long-term fundamental outlook for each holding. Market turmoil creates opportunities to invest in established franchises at attractive valuations. We have assembled a diversified portfolio of such investments. We remain confident in the long-term outlook for the Fund. Our assessment of two leading contributors to, and two leading detractors from, the Fund’s six-month performance follows.(a)
Strong Performers: Wells Fargo and Comcast
Wells Fargo (2.8% of the Fund on June 30) and Comcast (1.6%) helped the Fund’s results in the first half of the
year. Wells Fargo, the second largest U.S. bank by deposits, ended the first half of the year up 23%. The company has a long record of growth and strong risk management. It has leading consumer and small business banking franchises, is gaining market share, and yet remains attractively valued relative to its peers.
Comcast rose 36% in the first half of the year. Comcast has been a holding since the Fund’s inception in 2008, and we continue to be optimistic about its prospects. It is the largest pay-television and residential broadband service provider in the United States and operates a strong portfolio of cable networks. In addition, Comcast has growth potential from its broadband internet business and from expanding its services to business customers. Over the past four years, Comcast has generated consistent free cash flow growth; on June 30, it traded at an enterprise value of 6.6 times estimated(b) 2013 EBITDA.(c)
Weak Performers: Hewlett-Packard and Credit Suisse
Hewlett-Packard (2.6% of the Fund on June 30) and Credit Suisse (1.5%) both hurt results in the first half of the year. Hewlett-Packard, down 21% year to date, has been one of the Fund’s largest holdings for the past several years. The company has struggled recently with management changes, acquisition integrations, and disappointing earnings. Despite these concerns, we have confidence in the company’s prospects due to its collection of durable business franchises (such as printers and servers), its attractive valuation (trading at 0.3 times sales and 4.7 times forward earnings on June 30), and scale advantages from its position as one of the largest technology companies in the world.
PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND
Credit Suisse, a leading global private and investment bank, was down 20% in the first half of the year due to disappointing results in its investment banking division and concerns over a relatively weak capital position. In July, the company initiated a series of actions to increase its capitalization levels. Credit Suisse is well positioned to benefit from growth in private banking and capital markets around the world, while it is relatively insulated from the challenges of the Eurozone banking system.
IN CLOSING
Global equity markets are trading at compelling valuations, reflecting concerns about the course of the world economy. And yet, we note that most companies are better capitalized today than five years ago, with stronger cash flows and lower cost structures. Thus, they have greater ability to withstand an uncertain environment and take actions to build long-term value. Markets could continue to be volatile over the short term, but we are enthusiastic about the long-term prospects for equities in general, and especially for the holdings in the Fund.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

YEAR-TO-DATE PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Fund outperformed the MSCI World by 0.5 percentage points year to date.
Key Contributors to Relative Results
| § | | Strong returns in the Financials sector (up 14% versus up 9% for the MSCI World sector), combined with a higher average weighting (25% versus 18%), had a positive impact. Bank of America (up 48%), Capital One (up 30%), and Wells Fargo (up 23%) were strong performers. | |
| § | | Returns in the Materials sector (up 8% versus down 2% for the MSCI World sector) contributed to relative performance. | |
| § | | The Energy sector was the weakest sector of the market. Therefore, the Fund’s lower average weighting (6% versus 11% for the MSCI World sector) contributed to relative results. | |
| § | | Additional contributors included AOL (up 86%), Comcast (up 36%), and Microsoft (up 19%). | |
Key Detractors from Relative Results
| § | | Weak returns from holdings in the Information Technology sector (down 2% versus up 10% for the MSCI World sector) hurt results. Nokia (down 56%) and Hewlett-Packard (down 21%) were notable detractors. | |
| § | | Weak relative returns in the Consumer Discretionary sector (up 5% versus up 11% for the MSCI World sector) also hindered performance. Yamaha Motor (down 25%) was a weak performer. | |
| § | | Additional detractors included Unicredit (down 31%), Celanese (down 22%), and Credit Suisse (down 20%). | |

Risks: The Fund is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the Fund may decline in value for extended periods due to the financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
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 June 30, 2012 | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2012 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2012 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,063.80 | | | $ | 3.37 | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,021.60 | | | | 3.30 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.66%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (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. Though 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).

In determining a company’s country designation, the Fund generally references the country of incorporation. In cases where the Fund considers the country of incorporation to be a “jurisdiction of convenience” chosen primarily for tax purposes, the Fund uses the country designation of an appropriate broad-based market index. In that circumstance, two countries are listed - the country of incorporation and the country designated by an appropriate index, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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, and seeks long-term growth of principal and income. The Fund 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.
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. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Listed securities are valued at market, using the official quoted close price or the last sale on the date of determination or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange listed bid and ask prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current value.
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 per share (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 under 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 materially change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying a resulting change in value. Because trading in securities on most non-U.S. exchanges is normally completed before the close of the NYSE, the value of foreign securities can change by the time the Fund calculates its NAV. To address these changes, the Fund may utilize adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing service to systematically value foreign securities at fair value. These adjustment factors are based on statistical analyses of subsequent movements and changes in securities indices, specific security prices, and exchange rates in foreign markets. 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.
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, or when the Fund first learns of the dividend/corporate action if the ex-dividend date has passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Dividends characterized as return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 10
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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 based on relative net assets or other expense methodologies determined by the nature of the expense.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements The Fund enters 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.
Foreign taxes The Fund is subject to foreign taxes which may be imposed by certain countries in which the Fund invests. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the associated dividend is recorded. Capital gains taxes are incurred upon disposition of certain foreign securities. Capital gains taxes on appreciated securities are accrued as unrealized losses and are reflected as realized losses upon the sale of the related security. Currency taxes may be incurred when the Fund purchases certain foreign currencies related to securities transactions and are recorded as realized losses on foreign currency transactions. The Fund endeavors to record foreign taxes based on applicable foreign tax law.
Forward foreign currency contracts A forward foreign currency contract represents an obligation to purchase or sell a specific foreign currency at a future date and at a price set at the time of the contract. Losses from these transactions may arise from unfavorable changes in currency values or if the counterparties do not perform under a contract’s terms.
The values of the forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of
the underlying currency. Changes in the value of open contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the period, the Fund maintained foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments denominated in Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. These forward foreign currency contracts had U.S. dollar total values of approximately 1% of net assets during the period.
Foreign currency translation The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.
Reported realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments include foreign currency gain (loss) related to investment transactions.
Reported realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions include the following: holding/disposing of foreign currency and forward foreign currency contracts, the difference between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, and currency losses on the purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose taxes on such transactions.
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 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 Fund management’s 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 holdings as of June 30, 2012:

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.
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.
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, and such amounts may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences at year end to reflect tax character.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain (loss) on investments, foreign capital gain taxes, and foreign currency realized gain (loss). At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,111,655,706.
DODGE & COX GLOBAL STOCK FUND §PAGE 12
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | | — | | | | $35,098,359 | |
| | | | | | | ($0.149 per share) | |
| | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | $12,720,210 | |
| | | | | | | ($0.054 per share) | |
At June 30, 2012, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 251,568,557 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | $ | (284,489,355 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | | (32,920,798 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 30,640,188 | |
Accumulated capital gain | | | 21,443,301 | |
During 2011, the Fund utilized all of its capital loss carryforward, which amounted to $66,447,920.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after January 1, 2011, will not be subject to expiration. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the years preceding enactment. (The Fund had net capital gains in 2011.)
Fund management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (three years and four years, respectively, from filing the Fund’s Federal and State tax returns) as applicable to the Fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 5—LOAN FACILITIES
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility (Facility). The Facility allows the Fund to borrow money from or loan money to the Funds. Loans under the Facility are made for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest on borrowings is the average of the current
repurchase agreement rate and the bank loan rate. There was no activity in the Facility during the period.
All the Funds in the Trust participate in a $500 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. The maximum amount available to the Fund is $250 million. Each Fund pays an annual commitment fee on its pro-rata portion of the Line of Credit. The Fund’s commitment fee for the six months ended June 30, 2012, amounted to $4,458 and is reflected as a Miscellaneous Expense in the Statement of Operations. Interest on borrowings is charged at the prevailing rate. There were no borrowings on the Line of Credit during the period.
NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $231,739,200 and $127,069,131, respectively.
NOTE 7—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Fund management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2012, and through the date of the Fund’s financial statements issuance, which require additional disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2012
International Stock Fund
ESTABLISHED 2001
TICKER: DODFX
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
The Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund had a total return of 3.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 3.0% for the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index. On June 30, the Fund had net assets of $36.0 billion with a cash position of 1.6%.
MARKET COMMENTARY
Global equity markets experienced significant volatility during the first six months of 2012. The markets rose steadily in the first quarter—the MSCI EAFE was up 11%—as investor optimism increased amid encouraging economic signs. Companies reported healthy earnings, concerns about Eurozone banks were partially alleviated with the liquidity provided by the European Central Bank, and job growth in the United States was robust. Markets then dropped during the second quarter—the MSCI EAFE declined 7%—as macroeconomic concerns resurfaced. The epicenter was Europe with major questions about the fate of the euro, the likelihood of fiscal reform, and potential contagion given Europe’s importance in the global economy. These concerns were reinforced by slowing manufacturing activity in China and slowing employment growth in the United States.
Investors have responded to uncertainty by leaving assets perceived as risky and turning toward safety and security. The mutual fund industry’s fund flows epitomize this trend. In the first six months of 2012, the Investment Company Institute estimates that fund flows out of equity funds were $28 billion, while fund flows into bond funds were $151 billion. This flight to perceived safety is also evident in long-term government yields of 1.6% for the 10-year German bund and 1.7% for the 10-year U.S. Treasury (as of June 30)—a rate of interest below the current level of inflation.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In this environment of uncertainty and fear, equity valuations have been pushed to low levels and thereby provide an excellent inception point for potentially attractive long-term results. On June 30, the MSCI EAFE was trading at 13 times trailing earnings, compared to 19 times trailing earnings since the MSCI EAFE’s inception in 1970, and a 3.8% dividend yield, compared to an
average of 2.9% over the same period. Low valuations have historically been strongly associated with attractive subsequent ten-year returns. As a result, we believe that now is a compelling time to invest in international equities.
Share prices have fluctuated wildly as investors react to headlines from one day to the next. However, we observe that the fundamentals of individual companies do not change that rapidly. These price gyrations often create opportunities for patient, long-term investors like us to nudge the portfolio. We are able to retest and revisit our convictions as prices change, staying focused on our three- to five-year investment horizon.
Europe
Companies are not immune to the macroeconomic environment in which they operate, and therefore we incorporate this element into our bottom-up research process. Investors are concerned about Europe and view it as a risky place to invest. We recognize the wide range of potential economic outcomes associated with the region. However, we don’t view exposure as equivalent to domicile. On June 30, 40.7% of the Fund was invested in companies domiciled in developed Europe, of which roughly 70% was represented by companies that have more than 60% of their sales from outside of Europe. Examples(a) of such companies that we recently added to include Lafarge and Philips Electronics.
Lafarge, a global leader in construction materials, was one of the Fund’s largest holdings at 2.7% on June 30. Domiciled in France, Lafarge has a large international presence in 64 countries, and provides cement and aggregates to serve the world’s demand for housing and infrastructure. Lafarge has substantially increased its cement production capacity in markets with growing demand, especially in the emerging markets. In 2011, approximately 60% of Lafarge’s sales came from outside of Europe and the United States. As Lafarge’s share price declined 25% in March and April due to concerns about slowing economic activity, we added to the Fund’s holding because of our view of its long-term attractiveness. In hindsight, this proved to be an opportune time to add—the shares subsequently
PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
rebounded 22% and were up 26% year to date as of June 30. Given the significant volatility of the market, we recognize the shares could very well decline again, but we remain focused on the long term.
Philips Electronics, a 2.5% position in the Fund on June 30, is another European company where domicile belies exposure. Headquartered in the Netherlands, the company generates only 28% of its sales from Western Europe, while 33% of sales come from fast- growing emerging market economies. We increased the Fund’s investment in the company as the share price declined due to raw materials inflation, heavy investment in marketing and R&D, and restructuring charges that decreased profit margins in 2011. Despite these issues, we believe the stock presents an attractive long-term investment opportunity. Importantly, Philips has world-class franchises and is a global leader in health care, consumer, and lighting products. These businesses benefit from megatrends including health care quality and cost optimization, disposable income growth, and energy efficiency. Company management is addressing unsatisfactory profitability through a turnaround plan that involves exiting the volatile and commoditized TV business, enhancing accountability and incentive structures, and reducing overhead costs by roughly 20%, or 4–5% of sales. Philips’ strong balance sheet and the stock’s low valuation should serve to mitigate the downside.
Update on European Financials
A bank is inextricably linked to the health of its sovereign: a country’s credit rating, cost of funding, and economic growth all affect the asset quality and earnings potential of its banks. Accordingly, it is not surprising that European bank share prices have come under pressure. While we do not discount the difficult path ahead for Europe in terms of macroeconomic adjustment and restructuring, European bank valuations are low (60% of book value), and we believe that the companies the Fund is invested in are strong enough to survive the current difficulties and prosper when conditions improve. Extensive monitoring, review, and discussion of the Fund’s financial services holdings are a critical part of our investment process, given the wide range of possible outcomes to the Eurozone crisis. We have recently added
to the Fund’s position in UniCredit (Italy) and initiated a position in Lloyds Banking Group (United Kingdom). The Fund continues to have limited direct exposure to the periphery (2.2%) within its overall exposure to developed Europe and United Kingdom Financials of 14.3%.
In January, we participated in UniCredit’s rights offering, which we believe places it among the more securely capitalized banks in Europe. On June 30, UniCredit (a 1.3% position in the Fund) was trading at only 26% of book value despite healthy capital ratios, tangible progress on restructuring Italian commercial banking, and improved access to liquidity, including participation in the European Central Bank’s Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO). We recognize that UniCredit has substantial exposure to Italian sovereign risk and the Italian economy. Austerity measures are a strong economic headwind: Italy is experiencing a recession. However, UniCredit’s minority stakes in two strong and growing banks—Yapi Kredi (Turkey) and Bank Pekao (Poland)—account for almost half of its current market value, and the magnitude of the new capital raised is roughly half of its current market value. Thus, we believe there are meaningful pillars of valuation support.
Lloyds, a leading British bank, has a dominant franchise in mortgage and consumer lending with approximately 25% market share across most products and customer segments. The British government owns a roughly 40% stake from its support during the 2008 bank crisis. The British economy is currently experiencing negative economic growth and we believe this is weighing on the share price. In addition, Lloyds has losses from a legacy loan book that it acquired from HBOS plc in 2009. However, Lloyds has set aside substantial reserves against these potential losses, thus enabling it to shrink its loan books without further substantial reductions in the bank’s equity. Furthermore, Lloyds’ new management team has a broader plan to improve results and eventually return capital to shareholders. Lloyds trades at an attractive valuation—only 2.3% of assets and 54% of tangible book value as of June 30—and has a quality underlying core franchise. We believe that banking in the United Kingdom will remain profitable and Lloyds is well placed to benefit from an eventual economic recovery.

IN CLOSING
We acknowledge the challenges that are creating a high degree of uncertainty and fear about the world economy. As a result, global equity markets are trading at compelling valuations. And yet, we note that most companies are better capitalized with stronger cash flows and lower cost structures today than five years ago. Thus, they have greater ability to withstand an uncertain environment and take actions to build long-term value. Markets could continue to be volatile over the short term, but we are enthusiastic about the long-term prospects for equities in general, and especially the holdings in the Fund.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.
For the Board of Trustees,

YEAR-TO-DATE PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE by 0.4 percentage points year to date.
Key Contributors to Relative Results
| § | | The Fund’s holdings in the Financials sector (up 10% compared to up 7% for the MSCI EAFE sector), notably selected European and emerging market holdings, helped results. Sabanci Holding (up 49%), Kasikornbank (up 33%), Swiss Re (up 27%), and HSBC (up 18%) were especially strong. | |
| § | | The Fund’s holdings in the Materials sector (up 14% compared to down 3% for the MSCI EAFE sector), especially the Fund’s holdings in the Construction Materials industry and underweight position in the Metals & Mining industry, aided results. Cemex (up 30%), Lafarge (up 26%), and Lanxess (up 23%) were notable. | |
| § | | Additional contributors included Naspers (up 22%) and Bayer (up 15%). | |
Key Detractors from Relative Results
| § | | The Fund’s overweight position and holdings in the Information Technology sector (down 14% compared to down 3% for the MSCI EAFE sector), one of the worst performing sectors of the market, hindered results. Nokia (down 56%), Hewlett-Packard (down 21%), and Nintendo (down 15%) were particularly weak. | |
| § | | The Fund’s underweight position in the Consumer Staples sector, a stronger area of the market (up 6%), detracted from results. | |
| § | | Additional detractors included Yamaha Motor (down 25%), Petrobras (down 21%), and Mitsubishi Electric (down 13%). | |

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Fund performance changes over time and currently may be significantly lower than stated. Performance is
updated and published monthly. Visit the Fund’s website at www.dodgeandcox.com or call 1-800-621-3979 for current performance figures.
The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted for any income taxes payable by shareholders on these distributions or on Fund share redemptions. Index returns include dividends but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index is a broad-based, unmanaged equity market index aggregated from 22 developed market country indices, excluding the United States. MSCI makes no express or implied warranties or representations and shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any MSCI data contained herein.

Risks: The Fund is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the Fund may decline in value for extended periods due to the financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
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 June 30, 2012 | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2012 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2012 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,033.20 | | | $ | 3.24 | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,021.68 | | | | 3.22 | |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.64%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (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. Though 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).

In cases where the Fund considers the country of incorporation to be a “jurisdiction of convenience” chosen primarily for tax purposes, the Fund uses the country designation of an appropriate broad-based market index. In that circumstance, two countries are listed - the country of incorporation and the country designated by an appropriate index, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of foreign stocks. Foreign investing, especially in developing countries, has special risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Listed securities are valued at market, using the official quoted close price or the last sale on the date of determination or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange listed bid and ask prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Security values are not discounted based on the size of the Fund’s position. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value.
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 per share (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 under 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 materially change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying a resulting change in value. Because trading in securities on most non-U.S. exchanges is normally completed before the close of the NYSE, the value of foreign securities can change by the time the Fund calculates its NAV. To address these changes, the Fund may utilize adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing service to systematically value foreign securities at fair value. These adjustment factors are based on statistical analyses of subsequent movements and changes in securities indices, specific security prices, and exchange rates in foreign markets. 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.
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, or when the Fund first learns of the dividend/corporate action if the ex-dividend date has passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Dividends characterized as return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
PAGE 11 § DODGE & COX INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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 based on relative net assets or other expense methodologies determined by the nature of the expense.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements The Fund enters 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.
Foreign taxes The Fund is subject to foreign taxes which may be imposed by certain countries in which the Fund invests. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the associated dividend is recorded. Capital gains taxes are incurred upon disposition of certain foreign securities. Capital gains taxes on appreciated securities are accrued as unrealized losses and are reflected as realized losses upon the sale of the related security. Currency taxes may be incurred when the Fund purchases certain foreign currencies related to securities transactions and are recorded as realized losses on foreign currency transactions. The Fund endeavors to record foreign taxes based on applicable foreign tax law.
Forward foreign currency contracts A forward foreign currency contract represents an obligation to purchase or sell a specific foreign currency at a future date and at a price set at the time of the contract. Losses from these transactions may arise from unfavorable changes in currency values or if the counterparties do not perform under a contract’s terms.
The values of the forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of
the underlying currency. Changes in the value of open contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the period, the Fund maintained foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments denominated in Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. These forward foreign currency contracts had U.S. dollar total values ranging from 1% to 3% of net assets.
Foreign currency translation The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.
Reported realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments include foreign currency gain (loss) related to investment transactions.
Reported realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions include the following: holding/disposing of foreign currency and forward foreign currency contracts, the difference between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, and currency losses on the purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose taxes on such transactions.
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 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 Fund management’s 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 holdings as of June 30, 2012:

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.
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.
NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, and such amounts may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences at year end to reflect tax character.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain (loss) on investments, foreign capital gain taxes, and foreign currency realized gain (loss). At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $41,303,856,438.

Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2012
Balanced Fund
ESTABLISHED 1931
TICKER: DODBX
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
The Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund had a total return of 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 6.7% for the Combined Index(a) (a 60/40 blend of stocks and fixed income securities). On June 30, the Fund’s net assets of $12.1 billion were invested in 74.2% common stocks, 22.9% fixed income securities, and 2.9% cash.
MARKET COMMENTARY
After a strong first quarter in which the S&P 500 rose 12.6%, the market fell 2.8% during the second quarter and ended the first half of 2012 up 9.5%. Market returns during the second quarter were characterized by an increase in volatility, as macroeconomic concerns continued to weigh heavily on investors. Although first quarter estimated GDP growth was revised down to 1.9%, the modest U.S. economic recovery continued. Reported unemployment declined to 8.2%, inflation and interest rates remained low, consumer credit expanded, home prices rose, and residential real estate began to show signs of recovery. In Europe, the economic outlook deteriorated and concerns about the periphery reemerged (e.g., Spanish banks requiring significant recapitalization and Greece’s fiscal and political problems worsening). This backdrop produced a risk-averse market environment reflected by the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declining to an all-time low of 1.5% on June 1.
In fixed income, investment-grade corporate bonds returned 4.7%(b) in the first half, outperforming comparable-duration(c) Treasuries by 2.6 percentage points. Financials generated a 7.1% total return, the highest corporate sector return on an absolute and relative basis. Despite the macroeconomic challenges referenced above, corporate balance sheets and credit fundamentals remained strong. Agency-guaranteed(d) mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS) registered a 1.7% total return, moderately outperforming comparable short-duration Treasuries. Intermediate and long-term Treasury rates declined during the first half of 2012 and the associated price gains drove the sector’s 1.5% total return.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We continue to set the Fund’s asset allocation based on our three- to five-year outlook for the Fund’s equity and fixed income holdings. We find equity valuations to be attractive. On June 30, the S&P 500 was trading at 13 times forward(e) earnings, which is an advantageous starting point for future equity returns. Accordingly, the Fund maintains a high weighting in equities.
We believe that prospective fixed income returns are less attractive than equities due to exceptionally low current interest rates. The yield of the BCAG and the Treasury sector both reached record lows in June of 1.9% and 0.8%, respectively. At the same time, the duration of the BCAG is above its historical average. For these reasons, we believe that a low weighting in fixed income and a shorter duration profile is appropriate, given the prospects for higher inflation in the future. The Fund’s 22.9% weighting in fixed income securities with a portfolio duration that is 71% of the BCAG’s (3.6 years versus 5.1 years) reflects this view.
Equity Strategy
Despite the current turmoil, we are confident in our longstanding approach to investing, which emphasizes bottom-up stock selection with a focus on intensive fundamental analysis. Over time, we have built sizeable positions in established franchises at attractive valuations. Here is an assessment of four of the equity portfolio’s largest holdings, two of which have helped the six-month results, and two of which have hurt.(f)
Wells Fargo (4.6% of the equity portfolio on June 30) and Comcast (4.3%) helped the portfolio’s results in the first half of the year. Although investors’ fears negatively impacted many financial services firms with capital market operations, well-run banks such as Wells Fargo have proved more resilient. Wells Fargo, the second largest U.S. bank by deposits, ended the first half of the year up 23% while Comcast rose 36%. The Fund has held Comcast in the equity portfolio since 2002 and in the fixed income portfolio since 2003. We continue to be optimistic about Comcast’s prospects. It is the largest pay-television and residential broadband service provider in the United States and operates a strong portfolio of
PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND
cable networks. Over the past four years, Comcast has generated consistent free cash flow growth; on June 30, it traded at an enterprise value of 6.6 times estimated 2013 EBITDA.(g)
Hewlett-Packard (3.5% of the equity portfolio on June 30) and Novartis (2.5%) both hurt relative results in the first half of the year. Hewlett-Packard, down 21% year to date, has been one of the portfolio’s largest equity holdings for the past several years. The company has struggled recently with management changes, acquisition integrations, and disappointing earnings. Despite these concerns, we have confidence in the company’s prospects due to its durable business franchises (such as printers and servers), its attractive valuation (trading at 0.3 times sales and 4.7 times forward earnings on June 30), a management team led by new CEO Meg Whitman, and its scale advantages as one of the largest technology companies in the world. Novartis, a Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer whose return was 2% year to date, has seen its stock price impacted by Eurozone concerns over the past several years. We note, though, that less than half of its revenues are from Europe, and the valuation appears compelling (trading at 2.3 times sales and 9.6 times forward earnings on June 30).
Fixed Income Strategy
In the fixed income markets there are many, and at times quite significant, pricing inefficiencies affecting individual issuers, securities, and sectors, often due to short-term factors. When our research-informed view diverges from the market consensus, we find investment opportunities. Based on this research effort and changes in market valuations, we made several changes to the fixed income portfolio’s positioning year-to-date.
We meaningfully reduced the Agency MBS weighting to 33% of the fixed income portfolio (versus 31% for the BCAG), down from 42% at year end, due to heightened prepayment concerns. We increased the portfolio’s Corporate sector allocation by roughly 4 percentage points to 54% (versus 21% for the BCAG) as corporate spreads remain elevated. On June 30, U.S. Treasuries comprised 4% of the fixed income portfolio
(versus 36% for the BCAG), a significant underweight position.
Corporates. Corporate fundamentals remain strong (e.g., high cash positions plus solid cash flow relative to debt burden at industrial companies and strong capital positions at banks), and yield premiums are attractive relative to investment alternatives. We made a number of U.S. dollar-denominated investments in the debt of non-U.S. companies that we believe have attractive long-term total return prospects. As with all of the corporate fixed income investments in the portfolio, these recent additions followed an in-depth research process conducted by our experienced team of industry and credit analysts who cover companies on a global basis. We continue to maintain a low direct and indirect exposure to peripheral Europe, with no investments in European sovereign debt, due to our concerns about economic growth and longer-term structural issues in the Eurozone.
Within Europe, we purchased the senior unsecured debt of Lloyds TSB Bank (Lloyds). Lloyds is a leading British bank with a dominant retail franchise in mortgage and consumer lending and is approximately 40% owned by the British government. Since 2009, Lloyds has made substantial progress reducing its non-core asset base, decreasing its reliance on wholesale funding, and increasing its common equity and liquidity. Risks confronting Lloyds include lackluster growth in the British economy, substantial loan losses from a legacy loan book that it acquired from HBOS plc in 2009, and banking reform legislation pending in the House of Commons.
In Asia, we initiated a position in the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM). KEXIM is South Korea’s official export credit agency and benefits from a legal duty of the Korean government to maintain its net worth. Key credit positives include the prospects for continued Korean economic growth, KEXIM’s high quality asset base, and the importance of KEXIM to the export-intensive Korean economy. Some potential risks include the integrity of the implied sovereign guarantee, a substantial reliance on wholesale funding markets, political risk associated with North Korea, and a number of large single-name loan exposures in the shipbuilding industry.
Agency MBS. The portfolio’s MBS holdings were 33% of the fixed income portfolio at June 30. Recent changes in government policy have increased the
DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND §PAGE 2
refinancing options for homeowners. HARP 2.0, which became effective in December 2011, removed the loan-to-value cap on eligible loans, relaxed appraisal requirements, and provided financial incentives to mortgage servicers to facilitate refinancing. These changes resulted in increased prepayments beginning in March 2012, especially for mortgages originated in 2006–2008. Given the high average dollar price of the MBS portfolio, $111.29 at June 30, higher prepayments at par ($100) are a significant risk. As a result, we have reduced the portfolio’s exposure to the MBS that we believe are most susceptible to HARP 2.0 refinancing, lowering the overall Agency MBS weighting significantly in the process.
IN CLOSING
Despite slowing economic conditions worldwide and mixed recent economic data in the United States, we remain optimistic about the long-term opportunities for equities. Valuations have been pushed to low levels, reflecting investors’ low expectations and risk aversion. Earnings growth has remained positive, and consumer activity has improved, fueled by low inflation and interest rates and declining oil prices. We believe that the combination of low valuations and optimism about future growth creates opportunities for patient, long-term investors. The Fund’s high allocation to equities reflects this viewpoint.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

Risks: The Fund is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the Fund may decline in value for extended periods due to the financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. The Fund also invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and prepayment risk, all of which could have adverse effects on the value of the Fund. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

YEAR-TO-DATE PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Fund outperformed the Combined Index by 1.7 percentage points year to date. The Fund’s higher allocation to equities helped, as equities outperformed bonds.
EQUITY PORTFOLIO
| § | | Returns from Financials (up 20% versus up 14% for the S&P 500 sector) contributed. Bank of America (up 48%), Capital One (up 30%), and Wells Fargo (up 23%) were strong performers. | |
| § | | Consumer Discretionary returns (up 18% versus up 13% for the S&P 500 sector), in combination with a higher average weighting (16% versus 11%), had a positive impact. Comcast (up 36%) and News Corp. (up 25%) helped. | |
| § | | Additional contributors included eBay (up 39%), Microsoft (up 19%), and General Electric (up 18%). | |
| § | | Weak relative Information Technology returns (up 3% versus up 13% for the S&P 500 sector) hurt results. Nokia (down 55%) and Hewlett-Packard (down 21%) were significant detractors. | |
| § | | Weak relative returns in Health Care (up 7% versus up 11% for the S&P 500 sector), combined with a higher average weighting (20% versus 12%), detracted. | |

| § | | The portfolio’s significant overweight to corporate bonds (49% versus 20% for the BCAG)(a) added to returns, given the outperformance of this sector. The portfolio’s overweight to Financial Institutions (roughly three times the BCAG weighting) provided an additional benefit, as this sub-sector fared the best. | |
| § | | Many of the portfolio’s financial and lower-rated corporate holdings performed well, including AIG, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland, Sprint, and Telecom Italia. | |
| § | | The portfolio’s Agency MBS (42% versus 32% for the BCAG) outperformed comparable-duration alternatives. | |
| § | | The portfolio’s nominal yield advantage was a positive factor. | |
| § | | The portfolio’s shorter relative duration (roughly 73% of the BCAG’s duration) detracted from returns as intermediate and long-term Treasury rates declined. | |
| (a) | | Weights used in this section denote positioning at the beginning of the period. | |

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Fund performance changes over time and currently may be significantly lower than stated. Performance is updated and published monthly. Visit the Fund’s website at www.dodgeandcox.com or call 1-800-621-3979 for current performance figures.
The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted for any income taxes payable by shareholders on these distributions or on Fund share redemptions. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses.

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 June 30, 2012 | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2012 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2012 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,083.80 | | | $ | 2.77 | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,022.21 | | | | 2.69 | |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.53%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (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. Though 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 (unaudited)
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 26, 1931, and seeks regular income, conservation of principal, and an opportunity for long-term growth of principal and income. Risk considerations and investment strategies of the Fund are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus.
The 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Stocks are valued at the official quoted close price or the last sale of the day at the close of the NYSE or, if not available, at the mean between the exchange-listed bid and ask prices. 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 are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by independent pricing services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and 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 pricing models. Pricing models may consider quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. Futures contracts are valued daily at the closing settlement price on the exchange. 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 under the direction of
the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or when the Fund first learns of the dividend/corporate action if the ex-dividend date has passed. 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. Dividends characterized as return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain.
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.
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 based on relative net assets or other expense methodologies determined by the nature of the expense.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
PAGE 13 § DODGE & COX BALANCED FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Repurchase agreements The Fund enters 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.
Treasury Futures Contracts Futures contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell (depending on whether the Fund has entered a long or short futures contract, respectively) an asset at a future date, at a price set at the time of the contract. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an amount of cash or liquid assets (referred to as initial margin) in a segregated account with the clearing broker. Subsequent payments (referred to as variation margin) to and from the clearing broker are made on a daily basis based on changes in the market value of futures contracts. Futures are traded publicly and their market value changes daily. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on futures contracts are recorded in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Cash deposited with a broker as initial margin is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable and/or payable to brokers for daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Investments in futures contracts may include certain risks, which may be different from, and potentially greater than, those of the underlying securities. To the extent the Fund uses Treasury futures, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses resulting from leverage.
The Fund has entered into short Treasury futures contracts to assist with the management of the portfolio’s interest rate exposure. During the period ended June 30,
2012, the Fund remained consistently invested in short Treasury futures contracts. These Treasury futures contracts had notional values ranging from 3% to 5% of net assets.
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 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 Fund management’s 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.

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.
NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to
shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, and such amounts may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences at year end to reflect tax character.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, net short-term realized gain (loss), and Treasury futures contracts. At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $11,058,358,246.
Distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | | $156,471,384 | | | | $316,115,114 | |
| | | ($0.920 per share) | | | | ($1.620 per share) | |
| | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | — | |
At June 30, 2012, the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 1,945,209,382 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (1,039,846,376 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 905,363,006 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 7,815,758 | |
Accumulated capital gain(a) | | | 548,699,678 | |
Capital loss carryforward(b) | | | (2,085,110,003 | ) |
(a) | Represents capital gain realized for tax purposes during the period from January 1, 2012, to June 30, 2012. |
(b) | Represents accumulated capital loss as of December 31, 2011, which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. During 2011, the Fund utilized $174,362,715 of the carryforward. If not utilized, the remaining capital loss carryforward will expire in 2017. |
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after January 1, 2011, will not be subject to expiration. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the years preceding enactment. (The Fund had net capital gains in 2011.)
Fund management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (three years and four years, respectively, from filing the Fund’s Federal and State tax returns) as

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
applicable to the Fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 5—LOAN FACILITIES
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility (Facility). The Facility allows the Fund to borrow money from or loan money to the Funds. Loans under the Facility are made for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest on borrowings is the average of the current repurchase agreement rate and the bank loan rate. There was no activity in the Facility during the period.
All Funds in the Trust participate in a $500 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. The maximum amount available to the Fund is $250 million. Each Fund pays an annual commitment fee on its pro-rata portion of the Line of Credit. The Fund’s commitment fee for the six months ended June 30, 2012, amounted to $26,683 and is reflected as a Miscellaneous Expense in the Statement of Operations. Interest on borrowings is charged at the prevailing rate. There were no borrowings on the Line of Credit during the period.
NOTE 6—PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $624,618,409 and $1,527,228,982, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, purchases and sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $108,232,279 and $301,591,722, respectively.
NOTE 7—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Fund management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2012, and through the date of the Fund’s financial statements issuance, which require additional disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Semi-Annual Report

Income Fund
ESTABLISHED 1989
TICKER: DODIX
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
The Dodge & Cox Income Fund had a total return of 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 2.4% for the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (BCAG). On June 30, the Fund had net assets of $24.8 billion with a cash position of 5.7%.
MARKET COMMENTARY
The first half of 2012 was characterized by two distinct market environments. In the first quarter, better-than-expected U.S. economic data and greater clarity around various global uncertainties elevated equity prices and drove relatively strong performance from the corporate bond sector. Greece restructured its debt, the second round of the European Central Bank’s Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) was implemented, and the Federal Reserve released favorable results from its bank stress tests. Market sentiment reversed partially in the second quarter. Within the United States, disappointing data on hiring and lower-than-expected retail sales indicated the U.S. economic recovery had slowed. The economic outlook in Europe deteriorated and concerns about the periphery (e.g., Greece’s fiscal and political problems worsening and Spanish banks requiring significant recapitalization) reemerged. These factors produced a risk-averse market environment reflected by the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declining to an all-time low of 1.5% on June 1.
Investment-grade corporate bonds returned 4.7%(a) in the first half of the year, outperforming comparable-duration(b) Treasuries by 2.6 percentage points. Financials generated a 7.1% total return, the highest corporate sector return on an absolute and relative basis, and lower-rated bonds outperformed. Despite the macroeconomic challenges referenced above, corporate balance sheets and credit fundamentals remained strong. Agency-guaranteed(c) mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS) registered a 1.7% total return, moderately outperforming comparable short-duration Treasuries. Prepayment speeds increased with the implementation of the expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0), although valuations were largely unaffected. Intermediate and long-term Treasury rates declined during the first half of 2012 and the associated price gains drove the sector’s 1.5% total return.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We believe that in the bond market there are many, and at times quite significant, pricing inefficiences affecting individual issuers, securities, and sectors, often due to short-term factors. Consequently, our research approach is based on identifying and seizing those opportunities through a combination of fundamental research and a strict valuation discipline. We seek to differentiate those concerns that may temporarily depress the price of an investment from the fundamental factors that will determine the investment’s value over our three- to five-year investment horizon. When our research-informed view diverges from the market consensus, we find investment opportunities. Based on this research effort and changes in market valuations, we made several changes to the Fund’s positioning year to date.
We meaningfully reduced the Fund’s Agency MBS weighting to 31% (versus 31% for the BCAG), down from 41% at year end. We increased the Fund’s Corporate sector allocation by roughly 2 percentage points to 50% (versus 21% for the BCAG). The Fund’s small allocations to U.S. Treasuries and Government Agencies increased by roughly 3 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively, since December 31. On June 30, U.S. Treasuries comprised 5% of the Fund (versus 36% for the BCAG) and Government Agencies 9% (versus 11% for the BCAG).
Corporates: Foreign Opportunities
Corporate securities represented 50% of the Fund at June 30, with 54 issuers selected for their specific investment merits. Corporate fundamentals remain strong (e.g., high cash positions plus solid cash flow relative to debt burden at industrial companies and strong capital positions at banks), and yield premiums are attractive relative to investment alternatives. As a result, we added slightly to the sector and remain comfortable with the Fund’s significant weighting.
Specifically, we made a number of U.S. dollar-denominated investments in the debt of non-U.S. companies that we believe have attractive long-term total return prospects.(d) As described below, we believe the positive attributes of these new investments outweigh
PAGE 1 § DODGE & COX INCOME FUND
their risks given the attractive yield premiums. As with all of the corporate investments in the Fund, these recent additions followed an in-depth research process conducted by our experienced team of industry and credit analysts who cover companies on a global basis. We continue to have low direct and indirect exposure to peripheral Europe, and no investments in European sovereign debt, due to our concerns about economic growth and longer-term structural issues in the Eurozone.
Within Europe, we purchased the senior unsecured debt of Lloyds TSB Bank plc (Lloyds). Lloyds is a leading British bank with a dominant retail franchise in mortgage and consumer lending and is approximately 40% owned by the British government. Since 2009, Lloyds has made substantial progress reducing its non-core asset base, decreasing its reliance on wholesale funding, and increasing its common equity and liquidity. We believe its low exposure to peripheral Europe and declining loan loss provisions are credit positives. Risks confronting Lloyds include lackluster growth in the British economy, substantial loan losses from a legacy loan book that it acquired from HBOS plc in 2009, and banking reform legislation pending in the House of Commons.
We initiated a position in the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM). KEXIM is South Korea’s official export credit agency and benefits from a legal duty of the Korean government to maintain its net worth. Key credit positives include the prospects for continued Korean economic growth, KEXIM’s high quality asset base, and the importance of KEXIM to the export-intensive Korean economy. Some potential risks include the integrity of the implied sovereign guarantee, a substantial reliance on wholesale funding markets, political risk associated with North Korea, and a number of large single-name loan exposures in the shipbuilding industry.
We also began a position in Petroleo Brasileiro, S.A. (Petrobras), one of the largest oil companies in the world, with a dominant share of Brazil’s petroleum industry. Petrobras is majority-owned by the Brazilian government and enjoys the benefits of low-cost domestic financing through BNDES, the Brazilian development bank. Key positive attributes of Petrobras are its low leverage, substantial scale in upstream and downstream operations, and strong reserve replacement trends. In addition, its
U.S. dollar-denominated bonds currently trade at a historically high yield premium versus the Brazilian sovereign. Some risks we are monitoring include the deep-water nature of Petrobras’ reserves (which adds complexity, risk, and costs to their extraction), price controls and tax rates imposed by the Brazilian government, and the high capital intensity of Petrobras’ business for the foreseeable future.
Agency MBS
We apply the same fundamental research approach we use for corporate security selection to the Fund’s Agency MBS holdings. As the Fund’s mortgage portfolio consists entirely of Agency MBS, our primary focus in security selection is assessing the propensity of homeowners to prepay their loans across a range of economic environments and policy scenarios. We believe that recent government actions like HARP 2.0 have meaningfully improved the refinancing prospects for homeowners. As a result, we have significantly reduced the Fund’s MBS holdings over the first half of the year, from 41% at the end of 2011 to 31% at June 30, which is the Fund’s lowest allocation to this sector since August 2005.
At each point in time, the Fund’s Agency MBS allocation and composition is driven by our view of specific securities’ risk-adjusted return potential versus short- to intermediate-duration alternatives. For historical context, in 2005, we confronted a flat yield curve, concerns about inflation, and an increasingly tight monetary policy that was ineffective in slowing the economy. In that environment, we positioned the Fund with a relatively low allocation to Agency MBS, and focused those investments in higher-coupon, seasoned pools with lower loan balances to mitigate prepayment risk in an easy refinancing environment. From August 2005 to September 2008, we gradually increased the Fund’s Agency MBS allocation from 30% to 50% due to the growing attractiveness of their valuations (historically wide yield premiums in Fall 2008) and our positive outlook on prepayment risk.
From 2008 to 2011, we focused the mortgage portfolio on selected high-coupon Agency MBS backed by borrowers with either a low incentive to refinance or poor refinancing qualifications (e.g., low/negative home equity
DODGE & COX INCOME FUND §PAGE 2
or low borrower creditworthiness). Due to the severe tightening in Agency mortgage underwriting standards and consolidation of the mortgage banking industry in recent years, credit-impaired borrowers have had difficulty refinancing, allowing the Fund to earn above-market rates on those loans for a longer-than-expected time period. Beginning in late 2008, we reduced the Fund’s mortgage weighting as we saw better opportunities in corporates, but continued with a general overweight position due to the benign prepayment environment.
Recent changes in government policy have markedly increased the refinancing options for credit-impaired borrowers. HARP 2.0, which became effective in December 2011, removed the loan-to-value cap on eligible loans, relaxed appraisal requirements, and provided financial incentives to mortgage servicers to facilitate refinancing. These changes resulted in increased prepayments beginning in March 2012, especially for mortgages originated in 2006–2008. Given the high average dollar price of the Fund’s MBS portfolio, $110.51 at June 30, higher prepayments at par ($100) are a significant risk. As a result, we have reduced the Fund’s exposure to the MBS that we believe are the most susceptible to HARP 2.0 refinancing, lowering the overall Agency MBS weighting significantly in the process.
IN CLOSING
At June 30, the Fund’s duration was 67% of the BCAG’s (3.4 years versus 5.1 years), down from 78% at December 31, 2011. We believe that a defensive duration position is prudent given our expectation of a return to higher real interest rates once the economy re-accelerates and the Federal Reserve stops purchasing long-dated Treasuries. To meet our duration target, we have increased the Fund’s short position in Treasury futures, which had a notional value of 10.8% of the Fund’s net assets and had the effect of lowering portfolio duration by 0.7 years at June 30. Despite the defensive position vis-à-vis interest rate risk, the Fund still enjoyed a significant yield advantage versus the BCAG (2.7% versus 2.0%), due largely to the Fund’s overweight position in the credit-sensitive Corporate sector. We believe the Fund’s yield advantage will contribute to relative returns,
even if interest rates stay low for an extended period or decline further.
We continue to seek attractive long-term investment opportunities, primarily within the higher-yielding Corporate, Government-related, and Agency MBS sectors of the bond market. By focusing on these sectors and positioning the Fund defensively with respect to interest rate risk, we believe the Fund may provide reasonable relative returns over longer periods of time. However, given the historically low starting yield, we expect total returns to be quite modest in the near term.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

YEAR-TO-DATE PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Fund outperformed the BCAG by 1.9 percentage points year to date.
Key Contributors to Relative Results
| § | | The Fund’s significant overweight to corporate bonds (48% versus 20% for the BCAG)(a) added to returns, given the outperformance of the Corporate sector. The Fund’s overweight to Financial Institutions (roughly three times the BCAG weighting) provided an additional benefit, as this sub-sector fared the best. | |
| § | | Many of the Fund’s financial and lower-rated corporate holdings performed well, including AIG, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland, Sprint, and Telecom Italia. | |
| § | | The Fund’s Agency MBS (41% versus 32% for the BCAG) outperformed comparable-duration alternatives. | |
| § | | The Fund’s nominal yield advantage was a positive factor. | |
Key Detractors from Relative Results
| § | | The Fund’s shorter relative duration (roughly 78% of the BCAG’s duration) detracted from returns as intermediate and long-term Treasury rates declined. | |
| (a) | | Weights used in this section denote positioning at the beginning of the period. | |

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 June 30, 2012 | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2012 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2012 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,043.00 | | | $ | 2.19 | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,022.72 | | | | 2.17 | |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.43%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (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. Though 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 (unaudited)
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Dodge & Cox Income Fund (the “Fund”) is one of the series constituting the Dodge & Cox Funds (the “Trust” or the “Funds”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on January 3, 1989, and seeks high and stable current income consistent with long-term preservation of capital. Risk considerations and investment strategies of the Fund are discussed in the Fund’s Prospectus.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security valuation The Fund’s net assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Fixed income securities are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by independent pricing services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and 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 pricing models. Pricing models may consider quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. Futures contracts are valued daily at the closing settlement price on the exchange. 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 under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates current value. All securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses, and distributions Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income includes coupon interest, amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, and 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.
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 based on relative net assets or other expense methodologies determined by the nature of the expense.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Repurchase agreements The Fund enters 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.
Treasury Futures Contracts Futures contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell (depending on whether the Fund has entered a long or short futures contract, respectively) an asset at a future date, at a price set at the time of the contract. Upon entering into a
DODGE & COX INCOME FUND §PAGE 14
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an amount of cash or liquid assets (referred to as initial margin) in a segregated account with the clearing broker. Subsequent payments (referred to as variation margin) to and from the clearing broker are made on a daily basis based on changes in the market value of futures contracts. Futures are traded publicly and their market value changes daily. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on futures contracts are recorded in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Cash deposited with a broker as initial margin is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable and/or payable to brokers for daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Investments in futures contracts may include certain risks, which may be different from, and potentially greater than, those of the underlying securities. To the extent the Fund uses Treasury futures, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses resulting from leverage.
The Fund has entered into short Treasury futures contracts to assist with the management of the portfolio’s interest rate exposure. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund remained consistently invested in short Treasury futures contracts. These Treasury futures contracts had notional values ranging from 6% to 11% of net assets.
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 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 Fund management’s 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 holdings as of June 30, 2012:

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.
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.
NOTE 4—INCOME TAX INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
A provision for federal income taxes is not required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, and such amounts may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences at year end to reflect tax character.
Book/tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, in-kind redemptions net short-term realized gain (loss), and Treasury futures contracts. During the period, the Fund recognized net realized gains of $55,212,915 from the delivery of appreciated securities in an in-kind redemption transaction. For federal income tax purposes, this gain is not recognized as taxable income to the Fund and therefore will not be distributed to shareholders. At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $21,794,856,202.
Distributions during the the six months ended June 30, 2012, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, were characterized as follows for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | | | | |
