- Davis Select International ETF (DINT), launched on March 1, 2018 and managed by Davis Selected Advisers, L.P., an independent investment management firm founded in 1969 and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, seeks long-term growth of capital through an actively managed portfolio of high-conviction, best-of-breed common stocks issued by foreign companies in developed and emerging markets outside the United States; the fund employs the proprietary Davis Investment Discipline to select undervalued companies with attractive growth prospects, maintaining a benchmark-agnostic approach with low turnover, approximately 25-30 holdings (such as Samsung Electronics, Danske Bank, Prosus, Ping An Insurance, and Trip.com Group), and a net expense ratio of 0.66%; it trades on Cboe Global Markets, Inc., with total net assets of approximately $261 million as of late 2025.
The ETF's portfolio emphasizes selective investments across sectors including consumer discretionary (32%), financials (25%), industrials (14%), and information technology (10%), with significant geographic exposure to China (29%), Canada (10%), Japan (7%), South Korea (7%), and Brazil (7%), targeting large, medium, and small companies without regard to market capitalization.
In 2024, DINT delivered a strong total return of 20.91% (NAV), substantially outperforming the MSCI ACWI ex US benchmark's 5.53%, driven by holdings in Chinese consumer-facing companies like Meituan (+86%) and Trip.com Group (new position in Q3 2024, +66%), as well as Naspers/Prosus (via Tencent exposure), Ping An Insurance (+41%), Sea Ltd. (new investment in May 2024, +65%), and Coupang (+36%); detractors included Samsung Electronics (-39%) amid memory market weakness, though positioned for AI-related high-bandwidth memory recovery in 2025.
