Dodge & Cox Announces Share Splits for October
In a recent announcement, Dodge & Cox revealed its plans for forward share splits affecting several mutual funds. This move is poised to impact the Class I and Class X shares of the Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund, International Stock Fund, and Stock Fund.
What Are Share Splits?
Share splits occur when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding while simultaneously decreasing the share's net asset value (NAV). This strategy often aims to make shares more affordable for investors without altering the total value of their investments. Importantly, these splits do not change the rights associated with the shares and are not considered taxable events.
Key Dates to Remember
Dodge & Cox indicated that the share splits will apply to shareholders recorded at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
October 24, 2025. Thus, investors can expect to see their shares priced at the split-adjusted NAVs starting
October 27, 2025. After this date, the adjusted amounts will be reflected in their shareholder accounts, accompanied by a confirmation statement detailing their new share balances.
Details of the Share Splits
Below are the specifics regarding the share splits for each fund:
