- Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF (DUSA) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests in a concentrated portfolio of high-conviction, large-cap U.S. equities selected for their potential for long-term capital growth and capital preservation; the fund employs a benchmark-agnostic strategy focused on selective, attractive-growth, undervalued companies with resilient business models, durable earnings power, free cash flow generation, and competitive advantages such as pricing power or balance sheet strength. Core holdings as of December 2025 include financials like Capital One Financial Corp. (9.33%), U.S. Bancorp (5.81%), Wells Fargo & Co. (3.59%), and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (2.25%); technology and communication services such as Meta Platforms Inc. (6.81%), Applied Materials Inc. (6.12%), Alphabet Inc. Class C (5.61%), and Amazon.com Inc. (4.60%); healthcare names including CVS Health Corp. (4.65%) and Viatris Inc. (3.97%); energy firms like Coterra Energy Inc. (4.99%); and others such as Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class B (4.80%), Tyson Foods Inc. (4.74%), and MGM Resorts International (5.20%), with top sectors comprising financials (31.6%), health care (15.2%), and communication services (14.8%). Launched on January 11, 2017, and managed by Davis Selected Advisers, L.P., an independent investment firm founded in 1969 that oversees more than $25 billion in assets, DUSA trades on Cboe Global Markets with a gross/net expense ratio of 0.59%, annual dividend frequency, and total net assets of approximately $920 million as of December 2025. The fund targets individual and institutional investors seeking tax-efficient, intra-day liquidity, low-turnover exposure to approximately 26 well-researched U.S. large-cap stocks that exhibit higher earnings growth (e.g., 23.0% over five years versus 16.5% for the S&P 500) at significantly lower valuations (forward P/E of 14.5x versus 25.1x for the S&P 500). In recent developments, DUSA delivered a total return of +20.48% for the year ended December 31, 2024, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index (+14.37%) amid an economic transition from low-interest-rate policies, with portfolio managers emphasizing resilience amid AI-driven technological shifts, geopolitical uncertainty, and market concentration risks; the fund maintained its selective approach without noted acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes in 2024-2025, while institutional holdings such as those by Geneos Wealth Management increased by 41.3% in Q2 2025.
