Security Valuation - The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges including NASDAQ) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds’ assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds’ assets are valued, but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued using a fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Funds’ Pricing Committee and Board of Directors. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser’s portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser may consider (i) comparing prior day prices and/or prices of comparable securities; (ii) comparing sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source; (iii) new rounds of financing; (iv) the performance of the market or the issuer’s industry; (v) the liquidity of the security; (vi) the size of the holding in a fund; and/or (vii) any other appropriate information. The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available. Fair value determinations are subject to review, approval, and ratification by the Funds’ Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Fair valuation methods used by the Funds may include, but are not limited to, valuing securities initially at cost (excluding commissions) and subsequently adjusting the value due to: additional transactions by the issuer, changes in company specific fundamentals and changes in the value of similar securities. Values may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions.
Short-term investments purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
The Funds’ valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation procedures during the period.
Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ 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 investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Funds can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security.

The following table reconciles the valuation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period on Level 3 securities still held at March 31, 2022 was $(1,387,500) for Selected American Shares. The cost of purchases or proceeds from sales may include securities received or delivered through corporate actions or exchanges.

The following table is a summary of those assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used by the Adviser in determining fair value. Note that these amounts exclude any valuations provided by a pricing service or broker.

The significant unobservable inputs listed in the above table are used in the fair value measurement of equity securities, and if changed, would affect the fair value of the Funds’ investments. The transaction price input is attributable to private securities and includes assumptions made from private transactions. The “Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input” represents the change in fair value measurement resulting from an increase in the corresponding input. A decrease in the input would have the opposite effect.
Federal Income Taxes
At March 31, 2022, the aggregate cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
