Supplement dated April 17, 2013 to the Statement of Additional Information of

the Oakmark Funds dated January 28, 2013 as supplemented April 17, 2013

 

Effective June 17, 2013, the second paragraph on page 5 of the statement of additional information under the section entitled “HOW THE FUNDS INVEST — Small Cap Securities” is deleted and replaced with the following:

 

For International Small Cap Fund, a small cap company is one whose market capitalization is no greater than the largest market capitalization of any company included in the S&P EPAC (Europe Pacific Asia Composite) Small Cap Index ($8.7 billion as of December 31, 2012). The S&P EPAC Small Cap Index is comprised of companies within the developed countries of Europe, the Pacific and Asia and whose float market capitalization generally represents the lowest 15% of each country’s cumulative market capitalization. Over time, the largest market capitalization of the companies included in the S&P EPAC Small Cap Index will change. As it does, the size of the companies in which the International Small Cap Fund invests may change. Under normal market conditions, International Small Cap Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks of small cap companies. International Small Cap Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days prior to changing that policy.
