Fund Description
div style="line-height:11.0pt;margin-top:0.5pt;text-align:justify;"span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0%;"Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or the “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, uses the Davis Investment Discipline to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in securities issued by companies principally engaged in the financial services sector. The Fund invests principally in common stocks (including indirect holdings of common stock through Depositary Receipts (as defined below)). The Fund may invest in large, medium or small companies without regard to market capitalization and may invest in issuers in foreign /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"countries, including countries with developed or emerging markets./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:11.0pt;" /span/div div style="line-height:11.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:justify;" div style="margin-top:6pt;"span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0%;"A company is principally engaged in financial services if it owns financial services-related assets that constitute at least 50% of the value of all of its assets, or if it derives at least 50% of its revenues from providing financial services. Companies are classified by GICS based on their principal business activity. Revenue is a key factor in determining a firm’s principal business activity. Financial services companies include those with their principal business activity in one of the following areas: banks, /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"financial services, consumer finance, capital markets, insurance, and mortgage REITs./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:11.0pt;" /span/div /div div style="line-height:11.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:justify;" div style="margin-top:6pt;"span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"Davis Investment Discipline./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;" Davis Advisors manages equity funds using the Davis Investment Discipline. Davis Advisors /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0%;"conducts extensive research to try to identify businesses that possess characteristics that Davis Advisors believes foster the creation of long-term value, such as proven management, a durable franchise and business model, and sustainable competitive advantages. Davis Advisors aims to invest in such businesses when they are trading at discounts to their intrinsic worth. Davis Advisors emphasizes individual stock selection and believes that the ability to evaluate management is critical. Davis Advisors routinely visits managers at their places of business in order to gain insight into the relative value of different businesses. Such research, however rigorous, involves predictions and forecasts that are inherently uncertain. After determining which companies Davis Advisors believes the Fund should own, Davis Advisors then turns its analysis to determining the intrinsic value of those companies’ equity securities. Davis Advisors seeks companies whose equity securities can be purchased at a discount from Davis Advisors’ estimate of the company’s intrinsic value based upon fundamental analysis of cash flows, assets and liabilities, and other criteria that Davis Advisors deems to be material on a company-by-company basis. Davis Advisors’ goal is to invest in companies for the long term (ideally, five years or longer, although this goal may not be met). Davis Advisors considers selling a company’s equity securities if the securities’ market price exceeds Davis Advisors’ estimates of intrinsic value, if the ratio of the risks and rewards of continuing to own the company’s equity securities is no longer attractive, /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"to raise cash to purchase a more attractive investment opportunity, to satisfy net redemptions, or for other purposes./span/div /div
