DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance Performance Overview

Davis Global Fund underperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index (the “Index”) for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2019 (the “period”). The Fund’s Class A shares delivered a total return on net asset value of 11.35%, versus a 12.59% return for the Index. The sectors1 within the Index that reported the strongest performance were Real Estate (up 23%), Utilities (up 22%), and Information Technology (up 22%). The sectors within the Index that reported the weakest performance were Energy (down 5%), which was the only sector within the Index that reported negative performance for the period, Materials (up 8%), and Health Care (up 11%).

Detractors from Performance

The Fund’s holdings in the weakest performing sector within the Index, Energy, were the most substantial detractor2 from absolute performance and were a significant relative detractor owing to weaker stock selection (down 48%, versus down 5% for the Index). All three of the Fund’s Energy holdings were among the top detractors for the period: Encana3 (down 61%), which was the top detractor for the period, Apache (down 41%), and Seven Generations Energy (down 48%).

The Fund’s Financial holdings were the top relative detractor compared to the Index (down less than 1%, versus up 11%) and also weighed on absolute performance. Negative performers included Metro Bank (down 76%), which was a new purchase, Yiren Digital (down 58%), and Danske Bank (down 21%).

The Fund’s Information Technology securities had a positive return of 10%, compared with 22% for the Index. In addition to its lower return being a hindrance to performance, the Fund was significantly underweight in the Information Technology sector compared to the Index (average weighting of 6%, compared with 15% for the Index). Hollysys Automation, which is a leading provider of automation and control technologies and application in China, was down 26% during the period.

The Fund maintained a large position in the Consumer Discretionary sector during the period. A number of individual securities from this sector negatively affected performance including Tarena International (down 91%), Adient (down 30%), and Quotient Technology (down 33%).

Contributors to Performance

The Consumer Discretionary sector holdings were the most significant contributor to the Fund’s performance on both an absolute basis and relative to that of the Index. The Fund’s strong performance compared to the Index was primarily due to solid stock selection (up 24%, compared with up 15%) and significant overweight position (37% average weighting, versus 11%). A number of Consumer Discretionary holdings boosted Fund performance, including New Oriental Education & Technology Group (up 109%), which was the top contributor for the period, Alibaba (up 24%), JD.com (up 32%), and Meituan Dianping (up 102%). Meituan Dianping is a Chinese e-commerce platform that the Fund invested in before its shares were first publicly offered. The Fund continues to hold a limited number of investments in unlisted securities with the expectation that they also will become registered and offered publicly. New Oriental Education & Technology Group (11.16% of net assets) and Alibaba (6.12% of net assets) were the two largest positions, respectively, at the end of the period.

The Communication Services sector was beneficial to both absolute and relative performance. The Fund’s Communication Services holdings outperformed those of the Index (up 20%, versus up 13%). Naspers (up 25%) and Alphabet (up 17%) generated strong returns. Naspers moved to the Consumer Discretionary sector during the period and returned 28% prior to its move. Alphabet was among the largest holdings at the end of the period.

Industrials were another contributor to Fund performance (up 25%, versus up 15% for the Index). Two of the top contributors, Ferguson (up 30%) and InterGlobe Aviation (up 71%), boosted performance.

Sul America (up 85%) and Applied Materials (up 68%) were also top contributors.

The Fund’s foreign securities outperformed its domestic securities (up 14%, versus up 9%). A large part of this positive performance was on account of the Fund’s Chinese holdings. The Fund’s Chinese holdings represented the Fund’s largest foreign position (34% average weight during the period).

Davis Global Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. Davis Global Fund’s principal risks are: common stock risk, depositary receipts risk, emerging market risk, exposure to industry or sector risk, fees and expenses risk, foreign country risk, foreign currency risk, headline risk, large-capitalization companies risk, manager risk, mid- and small-capitalization companies risk, and stock market risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, Fund prices fluctuate, and the value of an investment may be worth more or less than the purchase price. Data provided in this performance overview is for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2019, unless otherwise noted. Return figures for underlying Fund positions reflect the return of the security from the beginning of the period or the date of first purchase if subsequent thereto through the end of the period or the date the position is completely liquidated. The actual contribution to the Fund will vary based on a number of factors (e.g., trading activity, weighting). Portfolio holding information is as of the end of the twelve-month period, October 31, 2019, unless otherwise noted.

1 The companies included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index are divided into eleven sectors. One or more industry groups make up a sector. For purposes of measuring concentration, the Fund generally classifies companies at the industry group or industry level. See the SAI for additional information regarding the Fund’s concentration policy.

2 A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Fund’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the Fund. For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

3 This Management Discussion of Fund Performance discusses a number of individual companies. The information provided in this report does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold any particular security. The Schedule of Investments lists the Fund’s holdings of each company discussed.

DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Performance Overview

Davis International Fund underperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex USA (the “Index”) for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2019 (the “period”). The Fund’s Class A shares delivered a total return on net asset value of 7.29%, versus an 11.27% return for the Index. The sectors1 within the Index that reported the strongest performance were Information Technology (up 22%), Utilities (up 20%), and Real Estate (up 18%). The sectors within the Index that reported the weakest performance were Energy (down less than 1%), which was the only sector within the Index that reported negative performance for the period, Materials (up 6%), and Financials (up 9%).

Detractors from Performance

The Fund’s holdings in the weakest performing sector within the Index, Energy, were the most substantial detractor2 from both absolute and relative performance owing to weaker stock selection (down 55%, versus down less than 1%). The Fund’s two Energy holdings, Seven Generations Energy3 (down 48%) and Encana (down 61%), were the top two detractors during the period, respectively.

The Fund’s sole Information Technology holding, Hollysys Automation, was down 26%, while the Index’s Information Technology holdings were up 22%. The Fund’s low weighting compared to the Index (4% average weight, compared to 8%) in this top performing sector hindered relative performance.

The Fund’s Financial holdings were a key detractor primarily due to stock selection (down less than 1%, versus up 9%). Negative performers included Metro Bank (down 76%), which was a new purchase, Yiren Digital (down 58%), Danske Bank (down 21%), and Bank of N.T. Butterfield (down 14%).

Tarena International (down 91%) and Prosus N.V. (down 15%), both from the Consumer Discretionary sector, were among the top detractors. Prosus N.V., a spin-off that was acquired through the Fund’s ownership of Naspers during the period, invests in and operates consumer internet companies around the globe.

Baidu (down 46%), a multinational company focusing on internet related services including a Chinese search engine and mapping service, was another leading detractor.

The Fund maintained a 4% average weighting in repurchase agreements during the period. In the strong market, this was a hindrance to performance.

Contributors to Performance

The Consumer Discretionary sector holdings were the most significant contributor to the Fund’s performance on both an absolute basis and relative to those of the Index due primarily to strong stock selection (up 25%, compared with up 16%) and significant overweight position (36% average weighting, versus 11%). A number of Consumer Discretionary holdings boosted Fund performance, including New Oriental Education & Technology Group (up 109%), which was the top contributor for the period, JD.com (up 32%), Alibaba (up 24%), and Meituan Dianping (up 102%). New Oriental Education & Technology Group (11.09% of net assets), JD.com (7.44% of net assets), and Alibaba (6.83% of net assets) were the three largest positions, respectively, at the end of the period.

Likewise, Industrials helped Fund performance. The Fund’s Industrials holdings generated a return of 28%, while the Index’s returned 14%. The Fund’s overweight position (21% average weighting, versus 12% for the Index), which included InterGlobe Aviation (up 71%), Schneider Electric (up 32%), and Ferguson (up 30%), was helpful to performance.

The Fund benefited from its low average weighting in a weak performing sector, Materials, when compared to the Index (1% average weight, compared with 8%).

Naspers (up 25%), which moved to the Consumer Discretionary sector from Communication Services during the period, was also a top contributor. Other helpful securities were Sul America (up 85%) and DBS Group Holdings (up 18%).

The Fund’s largest geographic position was in Chinese securities (average weight of 41% of net assets). The Fund’s Chinese securities were up 13% during the period.

Davis International Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. Davis International Fund’s principal risks are: common stock risk, depositary receipts risk, emerging market risk, exposure to industry or sector risk, fees and expenses risk, fees and expenses risk, foreign country risk, foreign currency risk, headline risk, large-capitalization companies risk, manager risk, mid- and small-capitalization companies risk, and stock market risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, Fund prices fluctuate, and the value of an investment may be worth more or less than the purchase price. Data provided in this performance overview is for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2019, unless otherwise noted. Return figures for underlying Fund positions reflect the return of the security from the beginning of the period or the date of first purchase if subsequent thereto through the end of the period or the date the position is completely liquidated. The actual contribution to the Fund will vary based on a number of factors (e.g., trading activity, weighting). Portfolio holding information is as of the end of the twelve-month period, October 31, 2019, unless otherwise noted. 1 The companies included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex USA are divided into eleven sectors.

industry groups make up a sector. For purposes of measuring concentration, the Fund generally classifies companies at the industry group or industry level. See the SAI for additional information regarding the Fund’s concentration policy.

2 A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Fund’s performance is a product both of its appreciation or depreciation and its weighting within the Fund. For example, a 5% holding that rises 20% has twice as much impact as a 1% holding that rises 50%.

DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Expense Example DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND As a shareholder of each Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for each class is for the six-month period ended October 31, 2019. Actual Expenses The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual maintenance fee of $15, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. This fee will be waived for accounts sharing the same Social Security Number if the accounts total at least $50,000 at Davis Funds. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. An annual maintenance fee of $15, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. This fee will be waived for accounts sharing the same Social Security Number if the accounts total at least $50,000 at Davis Funds. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Notes to Financial Statements DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND October 31, 2019 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Davis New York Venture Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) (“Company”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Company operates as a series issuing shares of common stock including the following two funds (collectively “Funds”):

Davis Global Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests principally in common stocks issued by both United States and foreign companies, including countries with developed or emerging markets. The Fund commenced operations on December 22, 2004, and until January 1, 2007, shares of the Fund were not available for public sale.

Davis International Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests principally in common stocks issued by foreign companies, including countries with developed or emerging markets. The Fund commenced operations on December 29, 2006, and until January 1, 2010, shares of the Fund were not available for public sale.

Because of the risk inherent in any investment program, the Company cannot ensure that the investment objective of its Funds will be achieved.

Prior to being available for public sale, only the directors, officers, and employees of the Funds or their investment adviser and sub-adviser (and the investment adviser itself and affiliated companies) were eligible to purchase the Funds’ shares.

The Funds follow the reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Fund. Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. Effective July 1, 2018, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 10 years. Any existing Class C shares held longer than 10 years as of July 1, 2018 were converted in July 2018. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to any contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. Class Y shares are only available to certain qualified investors. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), and gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by each class. Operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis and those directly attributable to a specific class, such as distribution and transfer agent fees, are charged against the operations of that class. All classes have identical rights with respect to voting (exclusive of each class’ distribution arrangement), liquidation, and distributions. Each Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Davis Fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by each Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Security Valuation - The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges including NASDAQ) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds’ assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser, identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds’ assets are valued, but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued using a fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Funds’ Pricing Committee and Board of Directors. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser’s portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser may consider (i) comparing prior day prices and/or prices of comparable securities; (ii) comparing sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source; (iii) new rounds of financing; (iv) the performance of the market or the issuer’s industry; (v) the liquidity of the security; (vi) the size of the holding in a fund; and/or (vii) any other appropriate information. The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a

Security Valuation - (Continued)

security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation of the security was readily available. Fair value determinations are subject to review, approval, and ratification by the Funds’ Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the period in which the fair valuation was determined. Fair valuation methods used by the Funds may include, but are not limited to, valuing securities initially at cost (excluding commissions) and subsequently adjusting the value due to: additional transactions by the issuer, changes in company specific fundamentals and changes in the value of similar securities. Values may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Funds’ valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation procedures during the period. Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of

investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Funds can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security.

The following table reconciles the valuation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the year ended October 31, 2019. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period on Level 3 securities still held at October 31, 2019 was $(5,149,380) and $(1,273,894) for Davis Global Fund and Davis International Fund, respectively. There were no transfers of investments into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the period. The cost of purchases or proceeds from sales may include securities received or delivered through corporate actions or exchanges. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts on investments in the Statements of Operations.

The significant unobservable inputs listed in the above table are used in the fair value measurement of equity securities, and if changed, would affect the fair value of the Funds’ investments. The transaction price inputs are attributable to private securities and include assumptions made from private transactions. The “Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input” represents the change in fair value measurement resulting from an increase in the corresponding input. A decrease in the input would have the opposite effect.

DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued) DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND October 31, 2019 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities. A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred. Foreign Currency - The Funds may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Funds to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. There were no forward contracts entered into by the Funds. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The Funds include foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sales of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statements of Operations. Federal Income Taxes - It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required. The Adviser analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and concluded that as of October 31, 2019, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements related to these tax positions. The Funds’ federal and state (Arizona) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state Department of Revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2016. Capital losses will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains. At October 31, 2019, Davis Global Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused short-term capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $15,948,886. Additionally, based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains, and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which they invest, the Funds will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued) DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND October 31, 2019 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Federal Income Taxes - (Continued)

At October 31, 2019, the aggregate cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes were as follows: Davis Global Davis International Fund Fund

Cost $ 898,301,344

$ 335,984,650

Unrealized appreciation 228,979,424 43,109,653 Unrealized depreciation (119,713,315) (60,455,696)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $ 109,266,109

$ (17,346,043)

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments [collectively “Distributable earnings (losses)”] may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, corporate actions, partnership income, equalization accounting, and passive foreign investment company shares. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds. The Funds adjust certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules. The Funds’ net assets have not been affected by these reclassifications.

Indemnification - Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, some of the Funds’ contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Directors Fees and Expenses - The Funds set up a Rabbi Trust to provide for the deferred compensation plan for Independent Directors that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of annual fees they are entitled to receive. The value of an eligible Director’s account is based upon years of service and fees paid to each Director during the years of service. The amount paid to the Director by the Trust under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the Davis Funds in which the amounts are invested.

NOTE 5 - BANK BORROWINGS

Each Fund may borrow up to 5% of its assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes. The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund. Each Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank, which enables it to participate with certain other funds managed by the Adviser in an unsecured line of credit, which permits borrowings of up to $50 million, collectively. Interest is charged based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate or the one month LIBOR Rate, plus 1.25%. The Funds had no borrowings during the year ended October 31, 2019. The aforementioned agreement with State Street Bank expired on November 4, 2019 and was not renewed.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. KPMG LLP We have served as the auditor of one or more Davis Funds investment companies since 1998.

DAVIS GLOBAL FUND Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited) DAVIS INTERNATIONAL FUND In early 2020 shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Funds during the calendar year 2019. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Funds to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. The information and distributions reported herein may differ from the information reported as distributions taxable to certain shareholders for the calendar year 2019 with their 2019 Form 1099-DIV.

The information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Funds to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations that may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax adviser for specific guidance. The Funds have elected to give the benefit of foreign tax credits to their shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders who must report their gross income dividends and distributions in a federal tax return will be entitled to a foreign tax credit, or an itemized deduction, in computing their U.S. income tax liability. It is generally more advantageous to claim a credit rather than to take a deduction. Davis Global Fund

During the fiscal year 2019, $13,632,534 of dividends paid by the Fund constituted income dividends for federal income tax purposes. The Fund designates $4,137,681 or 30% as income qualifying for the corporate dividends-received deduction. For the fiscal year 2019, certain dividends paid by the Fund constitute qualified dividend income for federal income tax purposes. The Fund designates $12,713,909 or 93% as qualified dividend income. During the fiscal year 2019, the Fund designated long-term capital gain distributions in the amount of $65,877,626. Pursuant to Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund designates $438,806 as foreign taxes paid during the year ended October 31, 2019. Approximately 100% of the ordinary income distribution deemed to be paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 was derived from foreign sourced income of $27,004,873. The Fund did not derive any income from ineligible foreign sources as defined under Section 901(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. Foreign taxes paid for purposes of Section 853 may be less than actual foreign taxes paid for financial statement purposes. Davis International Fund

During the fiscal year 2019, $3,701,234 of dividends paid by the Fund constituted income dividends for federal income tax purposes, of which no amount qualified for the corporate dividends-received deduction.

During the fiscal year 2019, the Fund designated long-term capital gain distributions in the amount of $3,600,369.

Approximately 100% of the ordinary income distribution deemed to be paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 was derived from foreign sourced income of $13,295,347.
