Global Stock Fund

We are pleased to announce our fifth mutual fund, the Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund

Over the past two decades, Dodge & Cox has built its global research and investment expertise, which led to the International Stock Fund in 2001 and now the opening of the Global Stock Fund on May 1, 2008. The Dodge & Cox Stock, International Stock and Balanced Funds each have investment restrictions which limit the portfolio structure based on domicile of the issuing company. The Global Stock Fund will have greater flexibility to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise around the world.

The Global Stock Fund shares a long-term investment philosophy and decision-making framework with the other Dodge & Cox Funds. Investments are based on our assessment of a company’s long-term earnings and cash flow prospects, derived from our own fundamental research, coupled with a disciplined approach to valuation. Portfolio construction takes into consideration diversification across sectors and regions. The Global Stock Fund shares many of the same characteristics of the other Dodge & Cox Funds. Dodge & Cox has established a reputation for the management of mutual funds with low expenses, low turnover and a team decision-making process. The Global Stock Fund’s investment decisions and portfolio construction are the responsibility of the Global Investment Policy Committee (GIPC), working in conjunction with our equity research analysts. The six members of the GIPC have an average tenure at Dodge & Cox of 17 years.

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 companies from at least three different countries, including emerging markets. The Fund invests primarily in medium-to-large well established companies based on standards of the applicable market. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in set percentages in particular countries. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in securities total assets in securities of non-U.S. companies.

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.

ACCOUNT ACCESS

You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments, for any of the following reasons:

• The stock markets in the countries in which the Fund invests go down.

• Markets continue to undervalue the stocks in the Fund’s portfolio.

• Dodge & Cox’s opinion about the intrinsic worth of a company or security is incorrect.

• Dodge & Cox does not hedge or is not successful in hedging the Fund’s currency exposure.

• The reduction of income by foreign taxes, including foreign withholding taxes on interest and dividends.

• Unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

• The increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities.

• Transaction charges for currency exchange.

Since the Fund will have significant investments in securities of non-U.S. companies, there is a greater risk that the Fund’s share price will fluctuate more than if the Fund invested solely in U.S. issuers. Prices of foreign securities may go down (as well as the value of your investment) for any of the following additional reasons:

• Unfavorable foreign government actions, including expropriation and nationalization, political, economic or market instability or the absence of accurate information about foreign companies.

• A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which reduces the unhedged value of securities denominated in those currencies.

• Non-U.S. securities are sometimes less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than securities of U.S. issuers.

• Lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, with less governmental regulation and oversight than U.S. companies.

† The International Stock Fund’s inception date was May 1, 2001. The annualized total return since the Fund’s inception through March 31, 2008 (6.92 years) was 13.36%. The MSCI EAFE’s total return was 8.27% 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.

‡ The Income Fund’s inception date was January 3, 1989. The annualized total return since the Income Fund’s inception through March 31, 2008 (19.25 years) was 7.68%. The LBAG’s total return was 7.56% over the same period.

The S&P 500 and Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond (LBAG) Index are widely recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock prices and U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade fixed-income securities, respectively. The Combined Index reflects an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the S&P 500 and 40% of the LBAG. The Balanced Fund may, however, invest up to 75% of its total assets in stocks. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI     EAFE) Index is a widely recognized benchmark of the world’s stock markets, excluding the United States. The Funds’ 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 dividend and/or interest income and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses.

GLOBAL STOCK FUND

The S&P 500 and Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond (LBAG) Index are widely recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock prices and U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade fixed-income securities, respectively. The Combined Index reflects an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the S&P 500 and 40% of the LBAG. The Balanced Fund may, however, invest up to 75% of its total assets in stocks. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index is a widely recognized benchmark of the world’s stock markets, excluding the United States. The Funds’ 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 dividend 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 Performance & 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.
