About DCSCX
Davis Balanced Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to deliver total return by combining capital appreciation with current income.

This balanced approach seeks to harness the growth potential of equities while reducing overall portfolio volatility with fixed income instruments. Classified within the moderately aggressive allocation category, the fund is intended for investors who prioritize long-term growth while still valuing income and diversification. The Davis Investment Discipline guides security selection, emphasizing companies with durable business models and prudent financial management. The fund's long-term track record reflects a consistent performance across both rising and declining markets, underscoring its role as a core holding for those seeking balanced exposure to stocks and bonds within a single investment vehicle.
