Our read on DINT
DOld-school stock picking in an ETF shell: Davis runs a concentrated book of roughly two dozen foreign businesses, developed and emerging, bought when the team judges them cheaper than they're worth.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through active management of common stocks issued by foreign companies, including developed and emerging markets. Davis selects businesses with durable franchises and sustainable competitive advantages, seeking to buy them below estimated intrinsic value.
Why people hold it
- Genuinely active. Around two dozen positions means every name carries weight, a different animal from the hundreds-of-stocks international index funds it sits beside.
- One clear brief: durable franchises with lasting competitive advantages, bought below Davis's estimate of intrinsic value. Classic value discipline, stated in the fund's own prospectus.
- Developed and emerging markets sit in the same sleeve, benchmarked to MSCI ACWI ex USA, so the manager can roam rather than stay inside a single-region box.
- Live since 2018 and running in the hundreds of millions, an established fund rather than a launch still hunting for scale.
Worth knowing
- You pay for the pickers: 0.66% a year, above the active international median and multiples of systematic rivals like AVDE (0.23%) and DFIC (0.22%).
- Thinly traded compared with the giants in this category, so bid-ask spreads can be wider and large orders need more care.
- Concentration cuts both ways, and on our overall measures the fund lands in the lower half of its active international peer group. Distributions come annually or semiannually, not monthly.
