Davis Advisors' Actively Managed Equity ETFs celebrate nine years of growth

Davis Advisors, an independent, employee-owned investment management firm with a long-standing focus on value investing, today announced that the Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF (NYSE:DUSA) has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM).

This milestone underscores the durability of Davis Advisors' time-tested investment discipline and reflects growing investor demand for active strategies focused on long-term value creation within the ETF structure. Managed by Chris Davis and Danton Goei, DUSA invests in U.S. large-cap companies selected for their quality, durability, and long-term growth potential. Designed as a core equity holding, the fund seeks to deliver long-term capital appreciation and preservation through a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic portfolio.

"Nearly a decade after its launch, DUSA's growth reflects our conviction in the Davis investment approach, as well as our belief that active ETFs can serve as a building block in a diversified portfolio," said Chris Davis, Portfolio Manager of DUSA and Chairman of Davis Advisors. "We believe there is a long runway ahead for active ETF strategies—both in terms of market opportunity and investor demand."

In 2026, the Davis Actively Managed Equity ETF lineup—including the Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF (DUSA), Davis Select Financial ETF (DFNL), Davis Select Worldwide ETF (DWLD), and Davis Select International ETF (DINT)—celebrates nine years since launch, positioning Davis among the first entrants to the actively managed equity ETF market in 2017. From the outset, Davis sought to extend its research-driven investment philosophy into the ETF wrapper, pairing active management with the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility investors expect from ETFs. Today, Davis ETFs collectively total over $2.3B in assets.

DUSA's growth, alongside that of the broader Davis ETF suite, builds on Davis Advisors' 50-year history as long-term value investors. Across its ETFs, mutual funds, and separately managed accounts, the firm applies a consistent, high-conviction investment approach emphasizing fundamental research, low turnover, benchmark independence, and patience.
