Average Annual Total Return*

For periods ended June 30, 2007         1 Year         3 Years         5 Years         Since Inception (May 1, 2001)

Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund         28.85%         26.28%         22.98%         17.29%

MSCI EAFE Index         27.00         22.25         17.73         10.91

www.dodgeandcox.com

The Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund had a total return of 6.6% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a total return of 6.4% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Fund had a total return of 12.0%, compared to a total return of 10.7% for the MSCI EAFE. At quarter end, the Fund had net assets of $46.4 billion with a cash position of 5.4%.

SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund performed well both on an absolute basis and relative to the MSCI EAFE.

KEY CONTRIBUTORS TO RESULTS

The Fund’s selection of holdings in the Materials sector helped performance, returning 18% compared to 14% for the MSCI EAFE Materials sector. Notable performers included Imperial Chemical Industries (up 27%)—the target of a takeover by another Fund holding, Akzo Nobel, which was up 16% itself. Bayer (up 21%) and BASF (up 20%) also were strong.

The Fund’s investments in the Energy sector returned 20% on average and outperformed the MSCI EAFE Energy sector, which returned 17%. Selected strong performers included Royal Dutch Shell (up 24%), Schlumberger (up 23%) and Petrobras (up 20%).

Investments in the Emerging Markets were generally strong. Standouts included LG.Philips (up 29%), Unibanco (up 29%) and Kasikornbank (up 18%). Companies in the Emerging Markets are not represented in the MSCI EAFE.

KEY DETRACTORS FROM RESULTS

Selected investments in Media companies hurt the Fund’s relative and absolute performance. News Corp. (down 8%) and Grupo Televisa (down 5%) were notable weak performers.

The Fund’s holdings in Japan detracted from performance. In particular, Mediceo Paltac (down 20%), Toto (down 14%) and Central Japan Railway (down 7%) were weak performers.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

This was a particularly active quarter in terms of new investments as we added 15 new companies to the Fund. We construct the Fund one company at a time after formal written and oral advocacy by a global industry analyst, intense peer scrutiny and a formal review by the International Investment Policy Committee. Our investment time horizon is three-to-five years and, historically, the Fund’s turnover has reflected an even longer holding period. Our analysts are constantly monitoring their industries and, when opportunity arises, we respond.

This past quarter we added substantially to our positions in European Pharmaceutical companies (GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi-Aventis) and initiated a position in Novartis. We think current valuations embed all of the pessimism (patent expiration, regulatory conservatism, pricing pressure, etc.) and little of the long-term positives of the industry (an aging developed world, a wealthier developing world, significant intellectual property, extensive distribution networks, strong cash flow, etc.).

We also added significantly to Japanese Financial institutions and banks that serve the developing world consumer. In our opinion, concerns over the low interest-rate environment, the lack of corporate demand for lending, and consumer credit quality have created attractive valuations in Japanese Financials. We have also been looking for opportunities in financial franchises that serve the developing world. As their citizens get wealthier, financial institutions may benefit from increased financial product consumption. Therefore, we added to HSBC and Standard Chartered and initiated positions in Sabanci, Shinhan, Hang Lung and Bangkok Bank.

*The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted for any income taxes payable on these distributions. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) is an unmanaged index of the world’s stock markets, excluding the United States. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. Expense reimbursements were paid by Dodge & Cox from the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2003 to maintain operating expenses at 0.90%. Accordingly, without the expense reimbursements, the Fund’s returns prior to June 30, 2003 would have been lower.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold.

Objective The Fund seeks long-term growth of principal and income. A secondary objective is to achieve a reasonable current income.

Strategy The Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks. In selecting investments, the Fund invests in companies that, in Dodge & Cox’s opinion, appear to be temporarily undervalued by the stock market but have a favorable outlook for long-term growth. The Fund focuses on the underlying financial condition and prospects of individual companies, including future earnings, cash flow and dividends. Various other factors, including financial strength, economic condition, competitive advantage, quality of the business franchise and the reputation, experience and competence of a company’s management are weighed against valuation in selecting individual securities.

Average Annual Total Return*

For periods ended June 30, 2007         1 Year         3 Years         5 Years         10 Years         20 Years

Dodge & Cox Stock Fund         19.72%         16.02%         14.80%         13.12%         13.79%

S&P 500 Index         20.60         11.67         10.70         7.13         10.83

www.dodgeandcox.com

As equity markets rallied strongly during the second quarter, the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund had a total return of 5.4%, compared to a total return of 6.3% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Fund had a total return of 7.2%, compared to a total return of 7.0% for the S&P 500. At quarter end, the Fund had net assets of $72.0 billion with a cash position of 2.4%.

SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund performed well on an absolute basis, but underperformed the S&P 500 on a relative basis during the second quarter.

KEY DETRACTORS FROM RESULTS

The Fund’s performance was hindered by weak returns from its Health Care holdings (up 1%), in combination with a higher weighting than the S&P 500 sector (16% versus 12%). Sanofi-Aventis (down 5%) and GlaxoSmithKline (down 4%) were particularly weak performers, both releasing disappointing news on key pharmaceutical products.

The Fund’s Information Technology holdings (up 7%) underperformed the S&P 500 sector’s 10% return. Hitachi (down 8%), Sun Microsystems (down 12%) and Motorola (flat) were weak contributors.

The Fund’s higher relative weighting in Consumer Discretionary stocks (23% versus 10%) hindered results, as the Fund’s holdings (up 3%) and the S&P 500 sector (up 4%) both trailed the overall market’s return. News Corp. (down 8%) and Macy’s (down 11%) were notably weak contributors.

KEY CONTRIBUTORS TO RESULTS

Bouncing back from a weak first quarter, the Fund’s Energy holdings (up 19%) were its best performing group, and also outperformed the S&P 500 sector’s 15% return. Oil service companies Baker Hughes (up 27%), Schlumberger (up 23%) and Royal Dutch Shell (up 26%) were notably strong performers.

The Fund’s lower relative weighting (14% versus 21%) in Financial holdings again aided relative results, as the sector remained one of the market’s weakest areas. In addition, Fund holdings (up 3%) modestly outperformed the S&P 500 sector (up 2%). SLM (Sallie Mae) was a standout performer (up 41%), after agreeing to be acquired by a private equity group.

Strong individual contributors included: Avaya (up 43%, after agreeing to be acquired), Hewlett-Packard (up 11%), Union Pacific (up 14%) and McDonald’s (up 13%).

As always, we encourage shareholders to focus on the Fund’s longer-term results which appear above. However, we caution once again to not expect a continuation of the Fund’s dramatic outperformance of the S&P 500 over the past seven years: 14.3% versus 2.2% since June 30, 2000, approximately the peak of the equity market bubble.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Through our “bottom-up,” individual company fundamental research, we continue to identify what we believe are attractive long-term opportunities in selected “fallen growth stocks” within areas such as Technology, Health Care and Retailing. For example, Motorola is now one of the Fund’s largest holdings. The stock has performed poorly over the past year, down more than 25% over the past nine months, in part due to loss of market share and lower profits in its mobile handset business. However, we believe that management is working hard to stabilize the division by reducing costs and introducing new products that should be more competitive. We have added to the position as Motorola’s valuation has declined to less than one times the company’s revenues. Boston Scientific and Home Depot, new purchases during the quarter, are also examples of durable franchises under near-term pressure. In our view, Boston Scientific’s valuation is depressed, partly due to concerns about its acquisition of Guidant, and Home Depot is operating in a difficult environment due to the weak housing market. With the conviction gained by our in-depth analysis of each company’s long-term opportunities and risks, in juxtaposition to current valuation, we are optimistic about the potential returns of these holdings, as well as the other holdings in the Fund’s broadly diversified portfolio.

Objective The Fund seeks a high and stable rate of current income, consistent with long-term preservation of capital. A secondary objective is to take advantage of opportunities to realize capital appreciation.

Strategy The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of high-quality bonds and other fixed income securities, including U.S. government obligations, mortgage and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and others rated A or better by either S&P or Moody’s. To a lesser extent, the Fund may also invest in fixed income securities rated Baa/BBB, or lower, by Moody’s/S&P.

The proportions held in the various fixed income securities will be revised in light of Dodge & Cox’s appraisal of the economy, the relative yields of securities in the various market sectors, the investment prospects for issuers and other factors. In selecting securities, Dodge & Cox will consider many factors, including yield to maturity, quality, liquidity, call risk, current yield and capital appreciation potential.

www.dodgeandcox.com The Dodge & Cox Income Fund had a total return of -0.2% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to -0.5% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAG). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Fund returned 1.2%, compared to 1.0% for the LBAG. At quarter end, the Fund had net assets of $14.3 billion with a cash position of 3.0%.

SECOND QUARTER MARKET COMMENTARY Intermediate and long-term U.S. Treasury yields rose by approximately 30-40 basis points2 during the quarter and the 30-year Treasury yield exceeded (temporarily) 5.4% for the first time in three years. Contrary to market expectations, U.S. economic data revealed a nice rebound from the first quarter “stall” and there are indications that foreigners may reduce their significant U.S. Treasury purchases in search of better returns elsewhere.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met twice during the quarter without adjusting the 5.25% target Federal Funds rate. Headline inflation has been increasing since October, most recently rising 2.7% year-over-year (through May). Core (ex-food and energy) inflation has moderated slightly, rising 2.2% year-over-year.

The Lehman Corporate Index returned -0.8% and performed in line with comparable-duration3 Treasuries. Despite solid earnings reports and good equity market performance, yield premiums increased from narrow levels due to growing investor concern over the potential for LBO risk and implications of subprime mortgage lending problems. Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS, measured by the Lehman MBS Index) returned -0.5% and underperformed comparable-duration Treasuries by 0.6% primarily due to spread widening.

SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund’s total return was negative, as price declines on Fund holdings outweighed earned income for the period. However, the Fund outperformed its LBAG benchmark. The following factors influenced relative performance:

The Fund’s shorter effective duration (3.7 years versus 4.5 years for the LBAG at the beginning of the quarter) and yield curve positioning added significantly to relative returns given the general price declines of most intermediate and longer-term fixed income securities.

Strong issue-specific corporate holdings helped performance. Of note, HCA, Liberty Media, Ford Motor Credit and Dillard’s had solid relative returns, though these were offset slightly by poor performance from Macy’s (Federated).

The Fund’s MBS sector overweight (4.8% greater than the LBAG at the beginning of the quarter) detracted from relative returns given that sector’s weakness.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Within the Corporate sector we made small adjustments to several issuer weightings, including purchasing Health Net and adding to the Fund’s HCA holdings. We also purchased Wachovia Bank 5-year floating-rate notes as a means of capitalizing on our expectations that interest rates will continue to rise. The Fund’s corporate weighting was 31.6% at quarter end. The Fund’s MBS weighting was 44.7% at quarter end; during the quarter we continued to add to the Fund’s holdings of seasoned 15- and 30-year pass-throughs and “hybrid ARM” securities.

We have maintained the Fund’s shorter relative duration positioning (just over 80% of the LBAG’s duration) by focusing a relatively high proportion of the Fund’s holdings in short and intermediate-term securities. Prospective “real” (after-inflation) yields have remained stubbornly low over the past several years, particularly among longer-maturity securities. In our view, these yields do not offer a sufficiently robust level of compensation for the risks assumed, including the possibility of higher-than-expected inflation. As always, we will continue to monitor existing Fund holdings and search for new investment opportunities to add to the Fund’s yield and total return potential, while seeking to maintain a well-diversified, high average quality (Aa)4 portfolio.

Average Annual Total Return1

Combined Index         14.66         8.61         8.38         7.01         9.74

www.dodgeandcox.com

The Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund had a total return of 3.7% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a total return of 3.5% for the Combined Index. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Fund had a total return of 5.4%, compared to a total return of 4.6% for the Combined Index. At quarter end, the Fund’s net assets of $29.3 billion were invested in 65.2% stocks, 32.4% fixed income securities and 2.4% cash.

SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Strong equity markets were the primary driver of Fund performance, as rising interest rates led to a flat return for the fixed income portion of the Fund. The stark difference in performance between equity and fixed income markets meant that the Fund benefited from its higher weighting (65.2%) in stocks relative to the Combined Index (60.0%).

EQUITY PORTFOLIO

Despite strong absolute performance, the equity portion of the Fund underperformed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index’s (S&P 500) return of 6.3%. The portfolio’s relative performance was affected by several key factors:

The equity portfolio’s performance was hindered by weak returns from its Health Care holdings, in combination with a higher weighting than the S&P 500’s sector. Sanofi-Aventis (down 5%) and GlaxoSmithKline (down 4%) were particularly weak performers.

The portfolio’s Information Technology holdings modestly underperformed the S&P 500 sector’s 10% return. Hitachi (down 8%), Sun Microsystems (down 12%) and Motorola (flat) were particularly weak.

Bouncing back from a poor first quarter, the portfolio’s Energy stocks were the best performing group and also outperformed the S&P 500 sector’s 15% return. Oil service companies Baker Hughes (up 27%), Schlumberger (up 23%) and Royal Dutch Shell (up 26%) were notably strong performers.

The portfolio’s lower relative weighting (14% versus 21%) in Financial holdings again aided relative results, as the sector remained one of the market’s weakest areas. In addition, the portfolio’s holdings modestly outperformed the S&P 500 sector’s 2% return. SLM (Sallie Mae) was a standout performer (up 41%), after agreeing to be acquired by a private equity group.

Strong individual contributors included: Avaya (up 43%, after agreeing to be acquired), Hewlett-Packard (up 11%), Union Pacific (up 14%) and McDonald’s (up 13%).

FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO

The fixed income portfolio outperformed the LBAG’s -0.5% return. The following factors influenced relative performance:

The portfolio’s shorter effective duration2 (3.8 years versus 4.5 years for the LBAG at the beginning of the quarter) and yield curve positioning added to relative returns given the general price declines of most intermediate and longer-term fixed income securities.

Strong issue-specific corporate holdings helped performance. Of note, HCA, Liberty Media, Ford Motor Credit and UnumProvident had solid returns, offset slightly by poor performance by Macy’s (Federated).

The portfolio’s mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector overweight detracted from relative returns given that sector’s weakness.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

In the equity portfolio, through our “bottom-up,” individual company fundamental research, we continue to identify what we believe are attractive long-term opportunities in selected “fallen growth stocks” within areas such as Technology, Health Care and Retailing. Boston Scientific and Home Depot, new purchases during the quarter, are good examples. In our view, Boston Scientific’s valuation is depressed, partly due to concerns about its acquisition of Guidant, and Home Depot is operating in a difficult environment due to the weak housing market. With the conviction gained by our in-depth analysis of each company’s long-term opportunities and risks, in juxtaposition to current valuation, we are optimistic about the potential returns of these holdings, as well as the other holdings in the Fund’s broadly diversified stock portfolio.

The fixed income portion of the Fund is positioned with a higher weighting in Corporate and MBS than its LBAG benchmark as we use our fundamental research capabilities to seek attractive opportunities in these higher yielding sectors of the market. We have also maintained the fixed income portfolio’s shorter relative duration positioning (just under 80% of the LBAG’s duration) by focusing a relatively high proportion of the Fund’s holdings in short and intermediate-term securities. Prospective “real” (after-inflation) yields have remained stubbornly low over the past several years, particularly among longer-maturity securities. In our view, these yields do not offer a sufficiently robust level of compensation for the risks assumed, including the possibility of higher-than-expected inflation.

1 The Combined Index reflects an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500), which is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices, and 40% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAG), which is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade fixed income securities. The Fund may, however, invest up to 75% of its total assets in stocks. 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. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses.

Income Fund

Overview | Characteristics | Risks | Manager Biographies

Objectives:

The Fund seeks a high and stable rate of current income, consistent with long-term preservation of capital. A secondary objective is to take advantage of opportunities to realize capital appreciation.

Strategy:

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of high-quality bonds and other fixed-income securities, including U.S. government obligations, mortgage and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations and others rated A or better by either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Moody’s Investors Service®, Fitch Ratings, or equivalently rated by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). To a lesser extent, the Fund may also invest in fixed-income securities rated Baa or lower by Moody’s or BBB or lower by S&P or equivalently rated by any NRSRO.

The proportions held in the various fixed-income securities will be revised in light of Dodge & Cox’s appraisal of the economy, the relative yields of securities in the various market sectors, the investment prospects for issuers and other factors. In selecting securities, Dodge & Cox considers many factors, including yield-to-maturity, quality, liquidity, call risk, current yield and capital appreciation potential.

(a)

SEC yield is an annualization of the Fund’s total net investment income per share for the 30-day period ended on the last day of the month.

(b)

CMBS refers to commercial mortgage-backed securities, which are a component of the LBAG but not currently held by the Fund.

(c)

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are subject to change without notice. The mention of specific securities is not a recommendation or solicitation for any person to buy, sell or hold any particular security.

(d)

The Fund’s credit quality ratings are from Moody’s Investor Services. If no Moody’s rating is available, the Standard & Poor’s rating is reported. If unrated, the investment manager determines a comparable rating. The LBAG’s credit quality ratings are from Lehman Brothers and reference Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch ratings. The LBAG’s methodology for calculating average credit quality differs from that used by the Fund. Applying the LBAG methodology, the Fund’s average credit quality would be Aa2. The credit quality of the investments in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the Fund or its shares.

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. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade fixed income securities. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses.

Mutual fund performance changes over time and currently may be significantly lower than stated. The Fund’s most recent performance can be found in Performances & Prices. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold.

 

†

The Income Fund’s inception date was January 3, 1989. The annualized total return since the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2007 (18.50 years) was 7.77%. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index’s (LBAG) total return was 7.42% over the same period.

International Stock Fund

Overview | Characteristics | Risks | Manager Biographies

Objectives:

The Fund seeks long-term growth of principal and income.

Strategy:

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies from at least three different foreign countries, including emerging markets. The Fund focuses on countries whose economic and political systems appear more stable and are believed to provide some protection to foreign shareholders. The Fund invests primarily in medium-to-large well established companies based on standards of the applicable market.

In selecting investments, the Fund invests primarily in companies that, in Dodge & Cox’s opinion, appear to be temporarily undervalued by the stock market but have a favorable outlook for long-term growth. The Fund also focuses on the underlying financial condition and prospects of individual companies, including future earnings, cash flow and dividends. Various other factors, including financial strength, economic condition, competitive advantage, quality of the business franchise and the reputation, experience and competence of a company’s management are weighed against valuation in selecting individual securities.

†

The International Stock Fund’s inception date was May 1, 2001. The annualized total return since the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2007 (6.17 years) was 17.29%. The MSCI EAFE’s total return was 10.91% over the same period. Expense reimbursements were paid by Dodge & Cox from the Fund’s inception through June 30, 2003 to maintain operating expenses at 0.90%. Accordingly, without the expense reimbursements, the Fund’s returns prior to June 30, 2003 would have been lower.
