CLIPPER FUNDSM Shareholder Letter

The chart below summarizes results through December 31, 2013 for Clipper Fund. As the Fund’s managers, my colleagues and I at Davis Advisors have two objectives: to earn a satisfactory absolute investment return and to generate relative results in excess of the S&P 500® Index. In our view, the data in the chart below presents a mixed but improving picture. Since we were entrusted with the management of Clipper in 2006, we have generated an absolute return of 4.5% per year versus the 7.3% return of the S&P 500® Index.1 This result falls short of both of our goals. However, for the last five years, we have generated a return of 19.5% per year versus 17.9% for the S&P 500® Index. On a relative basis we consider outperformance by 1.6% more than satisfactory. On an absolute basis, we are pleased to report these results rank as the best five year stretch since Davis Advisors assumed management of the Fund. We still have ground to make up but are pleased to report this progress.

Average Annual Total Returns as of December 31, 2013
	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years	Since Davis assumed management (1/1/06)	Since Inception (2/29/84)
Clipper Fund	34.22%	15.53%	19.48%	4.10%	4.45%	11.89%
S&P 500® Index	32.39%	16.18%	17.94%	7.41%	7.29%	11.31%

The performance presented represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Investment return and principal value will vary so that, when redeemed, an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total annual operating expense ratio as of the most recent prospectus was 0.75%. The total annual operating expense ratio may vary in future years. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit clipperfund.com or call 800-432-2504. The Fund received favorable class action settlements from companies that it no longer owns. These settlements had a material impact on the investment performance of the Fund in 2009 and 2013. These were one-time events that are unlikely to be repeated. Clipper Fund was managed from inception, February 29, 1984, until December 31, 2005 by another Adviser. Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. took over management of the Fund on January 1, 2006.

As always, our goal in preparing these reports is to provide the information we would want if our positions were reversed and we were investors in rather than the manager of Clipper Fund. At Davis Advisors, this mindset is not just theoretical but is grounded in the fact that we, our colleagues and our families have more that $100 million of our own money invested in Clipper Fund alongside our shareholders.2 As a result, making decisions and communicating based on what best serves Fund shareholders is second nature to us.

With this perspective in mind, we would like to discuss two topics in this report. First, we want to provide some perspective on our decision to ask my longtime colleague Danton Goei to join me as comanager of Clipper Fund. Second, we want to provide an update on the Portfolio as well as offer some insight into our conviction that the Portfolio is well positioned in today’s uncertain world both to generate long-term growth and to weather the inevitable storms and shocks that can occur any time.

Our Investment Team

Starting with our investment team, in mid December last year, we announced that after working together since 1998, Danton Goei would join me as comanager of Clipper Fund and our firm’s other large cap equity portfolios effective January 1, 2014. At the same time, we asked Ken Feinberg to step down. We thank Ken for his service and wish him the best.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Shareholder Letter – (Continued)

As fellow investors, we made this decision because we believe it will lead to better investment results in the years ahead. In coming to this conclusion, we considered a number of factors, the most important of which is Danton’s proven investment ability. His research has been the foundation of many of our successful investments over the last 15 years in a range of different industries, including many of our current holdings. As a member of our analyst team, Danton’s stock recommendations for our larger diversified funds, including Davis New York Venture Fund and Selected American Shares, have meaningfully added to Fund returns.3 In fact, we have had such high regard for Danton’s contribution that we have singled him out more than any other individual in our shareholder commentaries over the years. Although we would caution that these other funds are not directly comparable to Clipper, his performance as one of our most influential contributors was another important consideration in our decision. 

Beyond his talent as an investor, Danton also embodies the stewardship culture, research approach, investment philosophy, and valuation discipline of our firm. Given our focus on culture when evaluating potential investments, shareholders should not be surprised that culture played a role in this decision. On a personal level, Danton’s work ethic, modesty and humor make him a collegial as well as a capable partner that I look forward to working with in the years and decades ahead. In sum, as stewards of our clients’ savings, our responsibility is to field the best team we can. Danton’s results and character have earned him this place in our starting lineup.

Market Outlook

Turning to the Portfolio, strong market returns over the last five years have divided investors into two camps. The first camp includes those who worry because stock prices have gone up so much the market must be due for a fall. These investors point out the S&P 500® Index now trades a bit above the highs of 2000 and 2007, both of which preceded a steep market decline. The second camp includes those who have been heartened by the price increases and are anxious to jump on the bandwagon for fear of missing out. These investors are quick to point out because the world seems far less risky than it did during the dark days of the financial crisis now is a better time to invest.

Although one of these camps will ultimately prove to be correct both their forecasts rest on the faulty assumption that short-term changes in stock prices are predictable when the overwhelming evidence suggests that they are not. For example, in the chart below, the gray line represents investment strategists’ average forecast for stock market returns in the following 12 months. The black line shows what actually happened. As far as we can tell, these lines are uncorrelated.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Shareholder Letter – (Continued)

Beyond the folly of short-term market predictions, investors in both camps are making a second mistake by focusing on price rather than value. Because stocks represent ownership interests in real underlying businesses, discussing the price of a stock without reference to the value of the underlying business makes no sense. Bearing in mind the old saying “price is what you pay, value is what you get,” a closer look makes clear both the pessimists and the optimists are overlooking some important facts.

The pessimists who point out the market fell sharply in the years following the high prices reached in 2000 and 2007 are forgetting stocks purchased today are a much better value than those purchased in 2000 or in 2007 for the simple reason the underlying businesses are more profitable and less leveraged. To understand why this is important, imagine two hypothetical businesses for sale in your hometown. The first has a price of $1.5 million and generates annual earnings of $50,000 per year. The second has a price of $1.8 million and generates annual earnings of $100,000 per year. Although the price of the second business is slightly higher, its much higher earnings clearly make it a better value. Looking back to the market high in 2000, the math is almost identical for the companies that make up the S&P 500® Index. At that time, the market as measured by the S&P 500® Index was priced at about 1,500 while the earnings of companies underlying the Indexwere only $51 per share. Today the market sells at a price around 1,800 but the underlying companies generate earnings around $108 per share making them a far better value. Similarly, since the highs of 2007 just before the financial crisis, the earnings of companies underlying the Index have climbed from $83 per share then to $108 per share today, while at the same time companies have significantly reduced leverage. In short, by simply comparing today’s share prices to past market highs, the pessimists overlook the significant increase in the value of the underlying businesses.4

On the other hand, the optimists who point out that because the world seems less risky than it did during the dark days of the financial crisis now must be a safer time to invest are forgetting that, all other things being equal, higher prices may increase risk and reduce future returns. Investors buying stocks today are paying 30% more than if they bought one year ago while underlying earnings have only grown about 12%. This diminished gap between price and value leaves investors today with the prospect of lower future returns and a reduced margin of safety. Instead of feeling reassured by today’s higher prices, the optimists should acknowledge a rapid increase in prices is not good news for long-term investors.

Portfolio Review

That said, where do we stand? In managing Clipper Fund, we are neither optimistic nor pessimistic but realistic. Though our realistic approach may seem too restrained to the optimists and too confident to the pessimists, it recognizes the inherent uncertainty investors always face not just in trying to predict stock prices but in trying to predict all sorts of short-term variables from economic growth rates to interest rates to geopolitical developments.

By accepting that uncertainty is a constant, we can focus on the more realistic question of how best to invest in an uncertain world. Framed this way, the answer seems clearer. Investors should build a portfolio able to withstand downturns while also generating long-term growth. This is exactly our objective in managing Clipper Fund.

With our focus on balance sheet strength, proven management and durable business models, we look for companies with the resilience to weather the inevitable shocks and disruptions that can come at any time. Such strength allowed companies like Wells Fargo and Bank of New York Mellon to weather the worst financial crisis since the Depression.5It enabled companies like Costco and Bed Bath & Beyond to grow despite the Great Recession and consolidation in the retail sector. And it has allowed healthcare companies like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Caremark to navigate the uncertainty and changing regulation associated with health care reform.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Shareholder Letter – (Continued)

At the same time, with our focus on secular growth, competitive advantages, global leadership, and innovation, we also seek out companies that can generate the growth needed to build wealth over the long term. Companies like Google and Texas Instruments use innovation to unleash technology’s potential across a range of applications. American Express is a leader in transforming the global payments industry and as such benefits not just from increasing consumer spending but also from market share growth and the long-term transition away from cash and checks. The fact the Internet does not accept cash makes the explosive growth of Internet commerce an additional tailwind. Finally, LabCorp benefits from both the growing demand for diagnostic testing and the market share gains that accrue to the low cost provider in a large and fragmented industry.

As investors in an uncertain world, one final characteristic that we seek is adaptability. Very few business models can be carved in stone and a number of our important holdings are companies with a proven record of adaptability. For example, roughly 50 years ago Berkshire Hathaway was nothing more than a New England-based textile mill. Today the company is one of the most valuable conglomerates in the world with leading positions in businesses ranging from insurance to railroads. As another example, 50 years ago Loews was a chain of movie theaters that today has been transformed into a diversified holding company including operations in insurance, hotels and energy. Finally, 50 years ago Alleghany Corporation operated railroads. Today the company is a leader in specialty insurance and reinsurance. These examples are worth highlighting because they remind us that in a changing world standing still is not an option. Long-term success requires constant learning and a willingness to change.

This brings us full circle. We began this report by sharing with you our thoughts about a change in our investment team with the addition of Danton as my new comanager in overseeing Clipper Fund. We went on to discuss why we believe the Portfolio is well positioned in an uncertain world both to weather the inevitable storms and to build wealth over the long term. And we ended by highlighting the importance of adaptability and a willingness to change. Although we cannot know what the immediate future holds, we have never had more confidence in the strength, resiliency, capability, growth prospects, and adaptability of our Portfolio companies, our investment team or our firm.

On behalf of all of our colleagues, we thank you for the trust you have placed in us and look forward to reporting to you in the years ahead.

We thank you for your continued trust.

Sincerely,

Christopher C. Davis

President & Portfolio Manager

You should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, fees, and expenses before investing. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

This report includes candid statements and observations regarding investment strategies, individual securities, and economic and market conditions; however, there is no guarantee that these statements, opinions or forecasts will prove to be correct. These comments may also include the expression of opinions that are speculative in nature and should not be relied on as statements of fact.

Objective and Risks. Clipper Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth and capital preservation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities issued by large companies with market capitalizations of at least $10 billion. Some important risks of an investment in the Fund are: stock market risk: stock markets have periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices, including sharp declines; manager risk: poor security selection may cause the Fund to underperform relevant benchmarks; common stock risk: an adverse event may have a negative impact on a company and could result in a decline in the price of its common stock; large-capitalization companies risk: companies with $10 billion or more in market capitalization generally experience slower rates of growth in earnings per share than do mid- and small-capitalization companies; mid- and small-capitalization companies risk: companies with less than $10 billion in market capitalization typically have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources than larger companies, and may trade less frequently and in more limited volume; headline risk: the Fund may invest in a company when the company becomes the center of controversy. The company’s stock may never recover or may become worthless; focused portfolio risk: investing in a limited number of companies causes changes in the value of a single security to have a more significant effect on the value of the Fund’s total portfolio; financial services risk: investing a significant portion of assets in the financial services sector may cause the Fund to be more sensitive to systemic risk, regulatory actions, changes in interest rates, non-diversified loan portfolios, credit, and competition; foreign country risk: foreign companies may be subject to greater risk as foreign economies may not be as strong or diversified. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had approximately 10.5% of assets invested in foreign companies; depositary receipts risk: depositary receipts may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security and may be less liquid than the underlying securities listed on an exchange; and fees and expenses risk: the Fund may not earn enough through income and capital appreciation to offset the operating expenses of the Fund. See the prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Performance Overview

Clipper Fund delivered a total return on net asset value of 34.22% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index(“Index”) returned 32.39%. The Index turned in a strong performance with every sector1 within the Index returning positive results, increasing from as much as 43% (Consumer Discretionary) to a low of 11% (Telecommunication Services). The sectors within the Index that turned in the strongest performance over the year were Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. The sectors within the Index that turned in the weakest (but still positive) performance over the year were Telecommunication Services and Utilities.

The Fund’s Absolute Performance

Financial companies were the most important contributor2 to the Fund’s absolute performance over the year. American Express3, Berkshire Hathaway, Bank of New York Mellon, Oaktree, Ameriprise Financial, and Loews were among the most important contributors to performance. RHJ International was among the most important detractors from performance.

Consumer Staple companies were the second most important contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance. CVS Caremark and Costco Wholesale were among the most important contributors to performance. Brasil Pharma was among the most important detractors from performance.

Information Technology companies were also an important contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance. Google was among the most important contributors to performance.

The Fund had approximately 10% of its net assets invested in foreign companies at December 31, 2013. As a whole, those companies under-performed the domestic companies held by the Fund. The Fund’s performance benefited modestly from the recovery of shares, related to a class action settlement from 2005, and subsequent sale thereof (Interpublic Group).

The Fund’s Relative Performance

Information Technology companies were the most important contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index over the year. The Fund’s Information Technology companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index and had a lower average weighting.

Financial Companies were the second most important contributor to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s Financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index and had a higher average weighting.

Health Care companies were the most important detractor from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s Health Care companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index and had a lower average weighting.

Consumer Discretionary companies were the second most important detractor from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s Consumer Discretionary companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index and had a lower average weighting.

The Fund’s cash position over the year detracted from relative performance in a rising market.

Clipper Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth and capital preservation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. Clipper Fund’s principal risks are: stock market risk, manager risk, common stock risk, large-capitalization companies risk, mid- and small-capitalization companies risk, focused portfolio risk, financial services risk, foreign country risk, depositary receipts risk, headline risk, and fees and expenses risk. See the prospectus for a full description of each risk.

Clipper Fund focuses its investments in fewer companies, and it may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund that is not allowed to focus its investments in a few companies. The Fund’s investment performance, both good and bad, is expected to reflect the economic performance of its more focused portfolio.

1      The companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index are divided into ten sectors.  One or more industry groups make up a sector.

2      A company’s or sector’s contribution to or detraction from the Fund’s performance is a product both of 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%.

3      This Management Discussion of Fund Performance 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 the Fund’s holdings of each company discussed.

Comparison of a $10,000 investment in Clipper Fund versus the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index over 10

years for an investment made on December 31, 2003

Average Annual Total Return for periods ended December 31, 2013

Fund & Benchmark Index	1-Year	5-Year	10-Year	Since  Fund’s Inception (02/29/84)	Gross Expense Ratio	Net Expense Ratio
Clipper Fund	34.22%	19.48%	4.10%	11.89%	0.74%	0.74%
Standard & Poor’s 500® Index	32.39%	17.94%	7.41%	11.31%

In 2009, the Fund received favorable class action settlements from companies which it no longer owns. These settlements had a material impact on the investment performance of the Fund, adding approximately 5% to the Fund’s total return in 2009. In 2013, the Fund’s performance benefited modestly from the recovery of shares related to a class action settlement from 2005. These were one-time events that are unlikely to be repeated.

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 performance data for Clipper Fund contained in this report represents past performance, assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Fund today. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed. Fund performance changes over time and current performance may be higher or lower than stated. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The operating expense ratio may vary in future years.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses.  The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual maintenance fee of $10, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. An annual maintenance fee of $10, charged on retirement plan accounts per Social Security Number, is not included in the Expense Example. If this fee was included, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower, by this amount.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	(07/01/13)	(12/31/13)	(07/01/13-12/31/13)
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,150.99	$3.96
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,021.53	$3.72

Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized operating expense ratio (0.73%)**, multiplied by the average account valueover the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

** The expense ratio reflects the impact, if any, of certain reimbursements from the Adviser.

CLIPPER FUNDSM	Notes to Financial Statements
	December 31, 2013

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Clipper Fund, Inc. (“Fund”) (a California corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company.  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth and capital preservation. Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis Advisors” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, seeks to invest the Fund’s assets primarily in common stocks of large companies (generally, companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or more at the time of initial purchase) that are trading at prices below the Adviser’s estimate of their intrinsic values. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation - The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business.  Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the closing bid price.  Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.  Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what the adviser identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued using a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Fund’s Pricing Committee and Board of Directors. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser’s portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser may compare prior day prices, prices of comparable securities, and sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source. Fair value determinations are subject to review, approval, and ratification by the Fund’s Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the period in which the fair valuation was determined. Fair valuation standardized methodologies used by the Fund for equity securities include, but are not limited to, pricing securities by adjusting the value based on changes in an appropriate securities index and applying liquidity discounts. The Fund also prices a partnership it holds by calculating the liquidation value of the investment on a daily basis using the closing price of the underlying stock and a waterfall schedule, which apportions the value of the partnership’s interests based on the value of the net assets of the investment. A liquidity discount is then applied to the liquidation value.

Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Fund’s valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation procedures during the period.

Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 –	quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 –	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 –	significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Consumer Staples		14,596,934

*The application of fair value procedures for securities traded on foreign exchanges triggered the transfers of investments between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following table reconciles the valuation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the year ended December 31, 2013:

Investment Securities:
Beginning balance	$	6,910,781
Cost of purchases		25,892,256
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		3,344,043
Ending balance	$	36,147,080
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period on Level 3 securities still held at December 31, 2013 and included in the change in net assets for the year	$	3,344,043

There were no transfers of investments into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year. The cost of purchases may include securities received through corporate actions or exchanges. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts on investments in the Statement of Operations.

The following table is a summary of those assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used by the Adviser in determining fair value. Note that these amounts exclude any valuations provided by a pricing service or broker.

Assets Table
	Fair Value at		Valuation	Unobservable
Investments at Value	December 31, 2013		Technique	Input	Amount
Equity securities	$	8,856,740	Index-based value adjustment with liquidity discount	Discount rate		25%
		27,290,340	Liquidation proceeds/waterfall methodology based on underlying investment value, then applying liquidity discount	Discount rate		15%

CLIPPER FUNDSM	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2013

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Value Measurements - (Continued)

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of equity securities is the discount rate, which, if changed, would affect the fair value of the Fund’s investment.  An increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investment.

Master Repurchase Agreements - The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities. 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.

Currency Translation - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

Foreign Currency- The Fund may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Fund to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The Fund includes foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sales of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statement of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes- It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax is required. The Adviser has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements related to those tax positions. The Fund’s federal and state (Arizona) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2010.

At December 31, 2013, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows:

	Capital Loss Carryforwards
Expiring
12/31/2017	$	342,120,000
12/31/2018		5,484,000
Total	$	347,604,000
Utilized in 2013		11,085,000

CLIPPER FUNDSM	Notes to Financial Statements – (Continued)
	December 31, 2013

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income- Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, partnership income, passive foreign investment company shares, and net operating losses. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund. The Fund adjusts certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2013, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $2,070,811 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized losses from investments and foreign currency transactions.  Net assets have not been affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

	2013		2012
Ordinary income	$	4,700,198	$	19,704,424
Long-term capital gain		–		–
Return of capital		–		–
Total	$	4,700,198	$	19,704,424

As of December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	79,303
Accumulated net realized losses from investments and
foreign currency transactions		(347,603,725)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments		478,954,520
Total	$	131,430,098

Indemnification - Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, some of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements- In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) during the year ended December 31, 2013 were $91,433,483 and $145,314,474, respectively.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CLIPPER FUNDSM Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited)

In early 2014, shareholders received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during the calendar year 2013.  Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

The information and distributions reported herein may differ from the information reported as distributions taxable to certain shareholders for the calendar year 2013 with their 2013 Form 1099-DIV.

During the calendar year 2013, $4,700,198 of dividends paid by the Fund constituted income dividends for federal income tax purposes.  The Fund designates $4,700,198 or 100% as income qualifying for the corporate dividends-received deduction.

For the calendar year 2013, certain dividends paid by the Fund constitute qualified dividend income for federal income tax purposes.  The Fund designates $4,700,198 or 100% as qualified dividend income.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting dividends and distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service.  Because of the complexity of the federal regulations, which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax adviser for specific guidance.

SARBANES-OXLEY

CODE OF ETHICS

Davis Funds

Selected Funds

Clipper Fund

(“Funds”)

December 2007

I.            Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This Sarbanes-Oxley Code of Ethics (“Code”) applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Controller, or persons performing similar functions elected by the Funds (the “Covered Officers”) for the purposes of promoting:

• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

       • full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Funds;

       • compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

       • the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

       • accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II.            Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of

            Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of the officer’s family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of a position with the Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Funds. The Funds’ and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, replace these

 programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code (see Section VI below).

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from the contractual relationships between the Funds and the investment adviser (or advisory affiliates) of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Funds and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by each Fund’s Board of Directors (each a “Board” and collectively the “Boards”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Funds.

            Each Covered Officer must:

(a)not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Funds;

(b)not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Funds;

(c)not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Funds to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed by Covered Officers with the Funds’ Chief Legal Officer, if material. Examples of these conflict of interest situations include:

      •      service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

      •      the receipt of any gift, gratuity, favor award or other item or benefit having a market value inexcess of $100 per person, per year, from or on behalf of any person or entity that does, or seeks todo, business with or on behalf of the Funds. Business-related entertainment such as meals, tickets to the theater or a sporting event which are infrequent and of a non-lavish nature are excepted from this prohibition;

      •      any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds’service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter or any of their affiliates;and

      •      a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by theFunds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interestarising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III.            Disclosure and Compliance

(a)Each Covered Officer should become familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds.

(b)Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether within or outside the Funds, including to the Funds’ directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

(c)Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

(d)It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding (a) through (d) above, (i) each Covered Officer is entitled to rely upon procedures adopted by the Funds and their affiliates (including their investment adviser, sub-advisers, principal underwriter, transfer agent and custodian) that are intended to ensure accurate and timely filing of documents with the SEC or communications with the public, and (ii) Covered Officers do not have a duty to ensure the Funds’ compliance in areas outside of their span of control (for example, the Principal Financial Officer shall not have any duties with respect to compliance issues delegated to the adviser’s Legal Department, Compliance Department, Marketing Department, etc.).

IV.            Reporting and Accountability

            Each Covered Officer must:

(a)upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Boards that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

(b)annually thereafter affirm to the Boards that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

(c)report at least annually all affiliations or other relationships related to conflicts of interest that are included and described in the Funds’ Directors and Officers Questionnaires.

(d)not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

(e)notify the Funds’ Chief Legal Officer promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of the Code.

V.            Enforcement of Code

The Funds’ Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The Chief Legal Officer is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the independent directors (as defined in Rule 0-1(a)(6) of the Investment Company Act). However, any approvals or waivers sought by any Covered Officer will be considered by the Audit Committee of the affected Fund (the “Committee”).

            The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

(a)the Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations;

(b)if, after such investigation, the Chief Legal Officer believes that no material violation has occurred, the Chief Legal Officer is not required to take any further action;

(c)any matter that the Chief Legal Officer believes is a material violation will be reported to the Committee;

(d)if the Committee concurs that a material violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; monetary sanctions based on making a Fund whole for damage suffered or to deter further actions; or a recommendation to suspend or dismiss the Covered Officer;

(e)the Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate;

(f)all waivers shall be accompanied by a written memorandum, including to whom the waiver was granted, the details of the waiver, the nature and scope of the waiver, reasoning for the waiver and the date of the waiver; and

(g)any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

VI.            Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds’ and their investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VII.            Amendments

(a)This Code was initially adopted by a majority of both Boards (including a majority of the Independent Directors voting separately).

(b)Any material amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of both Boards, including a majority of Independent Directors voting separately.

(c)A copy of each version of the Code and all waivers under the Code shall be maintained for at least six (6) years following the end of the fiscal year in which the amendment or waiver occurred.

VIII.            Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Board and its independent counsel.

VIII.            Filing

Each Fund shall file a copy of this Code as an exhibit to its annual report on Form N-CSR, and shall similarly file and report all material, substantive amendments to this Code.
