DAVIS FUNDS SICAV Management’s Discussion and Analysis Davis Value Fund The Davis Value Fund’s Class A shares delivered a negative return on net asset value of 36.50% for the six-month period ended 31 January 20091. Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index2 (“Index”) declined 33.95%. The decline was widespread as every sector3 within the Index posted substantial declines. The sectors within the Index that turned in the weakest performance over the six-month period were financials, materials, and industrials. The sectors that turned in the strongest (but still negative) performance over the six-month period were consumer staples and health care.
Factors Impacting the Fund’s Performance The Fund’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 44% versus down 56% for the Index), but were still the largest detractors4 from absolute performance. A higher relative average weighting in this sector (29% versus 14% for the Index) detracted from performance. American International Group5, American Express, Wells Fargo, Loews, and JPMorgan Chase were among the most important detractors from performance. NIPPONKOA and Ambac Financial Group were among the most important contributors to the Fund’s performance. The Fund no longer owns Ambac Financial Group. The second largest detractor from performance was energy companies. The Fund’s energy companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 40% versus down 33% for the Index) and had a higher relative average weighting (15% versus 13% for the Index). ConocoPhillips, Canadian Natural Resources, Devon Energy, and EOG Resources were among the most important detractors from performance. The Fund’s relative performance was helped by having a higher relative average weighting in consumer staple companies (15% versus 13% for the Index). Unfortunately, the Fund’s consumer staple companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 27% versus down 18% for the Index). Hershey was among the most important contributors to performance while Costco Wholesale was among the most important detractors. The Fund’s relative performance was harmed by having a lower relative average weighting in the health care sector (5% versus 14% for the Index). The Fund’s health care companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 13% versus down 17% for the Index). Schering-Plough and UnitedHealth Group were among the most important contributors to performance. The Fund ended the six-month period with approximately 11% of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a whole these companies under-performed the domestic companies held by the Fund.

DAVIS FUNDS SICAV Management’s Discussion and Analysis – (Continued) Davis Opportunities Fund
The Davis Opportunities Fund’s Class A shares delivered a negative return on net asset value of 32.68% for the six-month period ended 31 January 20091. Over the same time period, the Russell 3000® Index2 (“Index”) declined 34.92%. The decline was widespread as every sector3 within the Index posted substantial declines. The sectors within the Index that turned in the weakest performance over the six-month period were financials, materials, and industrials. The sectors that turned in the strongest (but still negative) performance over the six-month period were consumer staples and health care.
Factors Impacting the Fund’s Performance
Three sectors, consumer discretionary, information technology, and financials, accounted for over 60% of the Fund’s negative return.
The Fund had more invested in consumer discretionary companies than in any other sector and they were the most important detractors4 from the Fund’s absolute performance. The Fund’s consumer discretionary companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 31% versus down 35% for the Index) and had a higher relative average weighting (27% versus 9% for the Index). Netflix5 was among the most important contributors to the Fund’s performance. Garmin and Hunter Douglas were among the most important detractors from performance.
Financial companies were the second largest detractor from performance. The Fund’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 30% versus down 51% for the Index) and had a higher relative average weighting (20% versus 15% for the Index). Discover Financial Services, Brown & Brown, Legg Mason, and Wells Fargo were among the most important contributors to performance. Markel was among the most important detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns Discover Financial Services or Legg Mason.
The third largest detractor from performance was information technology companies. The Fund’s information technology companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 37% versus down 36% for the Index) and had a lower relative average weighting (15% versus 16% for the Index). Google was among the most important contributors to performance. Agilent Technologies and Dell were among the most important detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns Dell.
The Fund’s relative performance was also harmed by having a lower relative average weighting in the consumer staples sector (2% versus 11% for the Index) and weak stock selection in the energy sector. The Fund’s energy companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 52% versus down 37% for the Index). Transocean and Tenaris were among the most important detractors from performance.
Another company detracting from the Fund’s performance was Sigma-Aldrich.
The Fund ended the six-month period with approximately 16% of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a whole these companies under-performed the domestic companies held by the Fund.

DAVIS FUNDS SICAV Management’s Discussion and Analysis – (Continued) Davis Financial Fund
The Davis Financial Fund’s Class A shares delivered a negative return on net asset value of 40.78% for the six-month period ended 31 January 20091. Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index2 (“Index”) declined 33.95%. Financial companies as a whole turned in the weakest performance of any sector3 of the Index. The banking, diversified financial, and insurance industry groups all turned in negative performance.
Factors Impacting the Fund’s Performance
The specific financial companies that the Fund owned out-performed the majority of financial companies in the Index, but still turned in negative performance. The Fund’s non-financial holdings overall also turned in negative performance.
The Fund’s insurance companies out-performed the corresponding industry group within the Index (down 41% versus down 55% for the Index) but were still one of the largest detractors4 from performance. Transatlantic Holdings5, Loews, and American International Group were among the most important detractors from performance.
The Fund’s diversified financial companies out-performed the corresponding industry group within the Index (down 44% versus down 58% for the Index). American Express, JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, and Moody’s were among the most important detractors from performance. Merrill Lynch merged with Bank of America in January 2009.
The Fund’s banking companies out-performed the corresponding industry group within the Index (down 30% versus down 53% for the Index), but still detracted from performance.
The Fund ended the six-month period with approximately 22% of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a whole these companies under-performed the domestic companies owned by the Fund.
Davis Real Estate Fund
The Davis Real Estate Fund’s Class A shares delivered a negative return on net asset value of 48.16% for the six-month period ended 31 January 20091. Over the same time period, the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index2 (“Index”) declined 50.47%. All seven sub-industries3 within the Index delivered negative returns, with real estate operating companies, industrial REITs, and retail REITs turning in the weakest performance.
Factors Impacting the Fund’s Performance
The Fund’s office REITs out-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (down 45% versus down 53% for the Index), but they were the largest detractors4 from absolute performance. A higher relative average weighting in this sub-industry (26% versus 16% for the Index) detracted from performance. Alexandria Real Estate5, SL Green, Boston Properties, and Derwent London were among the most important detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns Boston Properties.
The second largest detractor from performance was retail REITs. The Fund’s retail REITs under-performed the corresponding sub-industry within the Index (down 70% versus down 58% for the Index). A lower relative average weighting (9% versus 22% for the Index) in this weak sub-industry improved relative performance. General Growth Properties and Taubman Centers were among the most important detractors from performance. Simon Property Group was among the most important contributors to the Fund’s performance. The Fund no longer owns General Growth Properties.
The Fund’s relative performance was also harmed by having a lower relative average weighting in specialized REITs (12% versus 28% for the Index). Cogdell Spencer was among the most important detractors from performance.
AMB Properties was the single most important contributor to the Fund’s performance. Forest City Enterprises and Cousins Properties were among the most important detractors from the Fund’s performance.
The Fund ended the six-month period with approximately 9% of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a whole these companies under-performed the domestic companies owned by the Fund.

The operating expense ratios may vary in future years. 2 The definitions of indices quoted in this report appear below. Investments cannot be made directly in the indices.
I. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Index is adjusted for dividends, weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.
II. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
III. The Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index is a broad measure of the performance of publicly traded real estate securities, such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Real Estate Operating Companies (REOCs). The Index is capitalization-weighted, and the beginning date was 1 January 1978. The Index is rebalanced monthly and returns are calculated on a buy and hold basis. 3 The companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index are divided into ten sectors. One or more industry groups make up a sector. The companies in the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index are divided into seven sub-industries. 4 A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Fund’s performance is a product of both 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%. 5 This Management Discussion and Analysis 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 or sell any particular security. The Schedule of Investments lists each Fund’s holdings of each company discussed.
Shares of the Davis Funds (SICAV) are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.

DAVIS FUNDS SICAV Notes to Financial Statements At 31 January 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Davis Funds SICAV (“SICAV”) is an investment company organized under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, qualifying as a Société d'investissement à capital variable (“SICAV”). The SICAV was governed by Part I of the amended Luxembourg law of 30 March 1988 until 13 February 2007. Since that date, the SICAV is subject to the amended law dated 20 December 2002. The SICAV is registered under number B 49.537 at the Register of Commerce at the District Court of Luxembourg, where its Articles of Incorporation are available for inspection (as well as at the SICAV’s registered office at 49, Avenue J.F. Kennedy, 1855 Kirchberg, Luxembourg).
The SICAV was incorporated in Luxembourg on 19 December 1994 for an unlimited period. The initial capital was 45,000 USD, represented by 4,500 shares. At the time of incorporation, Davis Advisors purchased 4,499 shares. The SICAV issues different classes of shares. The subscription proceeds of each class are invested in a specific pool of assets (“Fund”), which is invested in accordance with the specific investment policy applicable to such Fund. Presently, the SICAV has four such Funds, Davis Value Fund and Davis Opportunities Fund, which commenced operations on 10 April 1995, and Davis Financial Fund and Davis Real Estate Fund, which commenced operations on 15 September 1997. On 5 September 2000 each Fund commenced the offering of shares in two classes, Class A and Class B. The Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge and the Class B shares are sold at net asset value and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. 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 directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the SICAV in the preparation of its financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION – The value of securities, which are quoted or dealt in on any stock exchange, is based on the last closing price known/last available price. In some circumstances, securities are valued based upon the average price on the exchange, which is normally the principal market of such securities. Securities which are not quoted and do not trade on any stock exchange, but for which an active trading market exists, are valued in a similar manner to that provided for securities which are quoted or dealt in on any stock exchange. Securities, which are not quoted or dealt in on a regulated market, as well as quoted and non-quoted securities on such other markets, for which no current market prices are available, or for which current market prices are not representative of the fair market value, are valued at fair value as determined prudently and in good faith by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors. Investments in short-term securities (maturing in sixty days or less) are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon average cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income may be subject to withholding taxes in the distributing country. These taxes may not be recoverable.

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.

Advisory fees are paid monthly to Davis Advisors, the Funds’ investment adviser (“Investment Adviser”), at the annual rate of 1.50% of the average daily net assets of Davis Value Fund, Davis Opportunities Fund, Davis Financial Fund, and Davis Real Estate Fund.

The Investment Adviser has agreed to reimburse each Fund’s expenses to the extent necessary to cap the total annual operating expenses (Class A shares, 2.50% and Class B shares, 3.50% for each Fund). During the six months ended 31 January 2009, such reimbursements amounted to $705, $24,240, and $21,660 for the Davis Opportunity Fund, Davis Financial Fund, and Davis Real Estate Fund, respectively.
