FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

One of our most important responsibilities as mutual fund managers is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner. Some of our comments in our letters to shareholders are based on current management expectations and are considered "forward-looking statements". Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from our expectations. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "estimate", "may", "will", "expect", "believe",

"plan" and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The Oakmark Funds  March 31, 2013

President's Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

A lot of attention these days is being paid to the behavioral biases that create a gap between what investors say and what they do.

I listened to a presentation this quarter by one of the authors of The Influential Investor, published by State Street's Center for Applied Research1. More than 3,000 investors were surveyed to try to understand the forces that will shape the next decade of the investment management industry.

The results revealed a troubling disparity between the goals of individual investors and the investment decisions they are making. For example, when questioned about becoming more prepared for retirement, participants primarily said they needed to be "more aggressive." But these same investors had 30% of their portfolio invested in cash; and when asked to predict their portfolio in 10 years, the allocations were mostly unchanged.

In fact, nearly half the assets for these investors were out of sync with their long-term goals, despite the fact that a substantial majority of them agreed with the statement that "long-term decisions are important to me." The study goes on to discuss how investors' desires and their deeds are deeply misaligned due to the dominance of short-term thinking when making investment decisions.

Short-term thinking often leads to decisions based more on emotions than on rational analysis. We believe sound investment decisions are best made with a long-term perspective. This long-term thinking is deeply ingrained in the Oakmark culture. Our research team focuses on identifying stocks that trade at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value, with growing business value and shareholder-oriented management.

The consistent imperative to think about long-term value creation underpins our entire investment approach. There is so much business news generated each day that people can easily lose sight of their investment goals. We, of course, try to sort through this information to determine what is meaningful and what is noise. Our patient culture allows our research team to identify and vigorously analyze companies that may be unloved by the market for what we believe may be temporary reasons. This process often uncovers unique ideas that drive strong returns for our shareholders.

It was a culture of long-term thinking that encouraged our team to objectively analyze the fallout of the financial crisis and identify those companies with strong capital positions and quality managements. Staying invested in Japan after its devastating earthquake also required a long time horizon. We concluded that the physical damage had not impaired the global business operations of many of our holdings. Likewise, pundits and many investors overlooked the diversification of many companies' global footprint and abandoned the eurozone during last summer's panicked markets, but we believed in our analysis and held our positions.

These scenarios represented fertile opportunities in an organization that supports patient, disciplined company evaluation. We understand it may take time, even years for the market to recognize our view of a company's value. Our conviction in our research allows us to be patient even when the trend is uncomfortable in the near term.

The success of our investment ideas was borne out during the market recovery, distinguishing The Oakmark Funds from less disciplined peers. Ultimately, we recognize that a long time horizon can be an investor's most important

advantage. It leads to investment decisions that align well with the long-term objectives of Oakmark shareholders, among whom we are also included.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The following table provides information about actual account values and actual fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at March 31, 2013, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the "Actual—Expenses Paid During Period" column shown below.

Shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, invested for 90 days or less, may be charged a 2% redemption fee upon redemption. Please consult the Funds' prospectus at oakmark.com for more information.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for shares of each Fund based on actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or actual expenses shareholders paid for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical—Expenses Paid During Period" column of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

4 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

Kevin Grant, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Fund increased by 10% in the past quarter, bringing the gain for the first half of our fiscal year to 13%. The S&P 5002 also increased significantly, up 11% and 10% for the quarter and six months, respectively. Despite these increases, we believe stocks remain moderately undervalued relative to their own history and extremely undervalued versus bonds.

Our best performing stock in the quarter was Dell, up 42%. Dell is in the midst of a bidding war between a group headed by its CEO, Michael Dell, and groups led by Blackstone and Carl Icahn. We have decided, for now, to maintain our holding as we believe there is a reasonable probability that a higher bid will emerge. A more detailed discussion of our Dell position can be found in the commentary for the Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds.

Our worst performer was Apple, down 16%, but because our weighting was less than that of the S&P 500, it didn't hurt our relative performance. We also had single-digit declines in Cenovus (7%), Capital One (5%), Oracle (3%) and Aflac (1%). None of these companies are performing meaningfully worse than we were expecting, so we continue to hold the stocks.

We eliminated two holdings during the quarter: Viacom and Heinz. Viacom's stock reached our sell target despite ratings for its main cable channels that continue to disappoint. Heinz announced its acquisition, and because the stock price immediately matched the proposed acquisition price, we sold all of our shares. We are very pleased with the performance of Heinz management over the many years we owned the stock. For a more complete discussion, read the Heinz piece we posted on our website during the quarter. We added one new holding, Forest Laboratories.

Forest Laboratories (FRX-$37)

Forest Labs is a mid-sized pharmaceutical company. It sells at almost 40 times trailing earnings at a time when many pharma stocks are priced at multiples less than half that. So it is fair for our investors to ask how we can possibly call Forest undervalued. When we evaluate most companies, we don't need to adjust P/E7 ratios to reflect differing mixes of new versus old products. Pharma companies, however, are different. Even very large pharma companies often produce most of their earnings from just a small number of drugs. When patents on those drugs expire, earnings largely disappear. So a very low P/E is justified for companies facing patent cliffs. The opposite is true when drugs are first introduced. Launch costs can wipe out most of a new drug's early earnings, so a very high P/E ratio is deserved.

Forest is in the unusual position of launching seven important new drugs. This results in very low current earnings compared to the earnings we expect several years from now. Our valuation of discounted future cash flows indicates that Forest is currently selling for just over two-thirds of value. Further, if a large

pharma company owned Forest, economies of scale would meaningfully reduce Forest's expenses, which leads us to believe its ultimate value is even higher. Finally, many pharma stocks have been strong performers because they pay high dividends, which appeals to bond investors looking for income in the stock market. Because Forest does not pay a dividend, it has not enjoyed such attention. Instead, over the past decade, its management has repurchased nearly 30% of the company's shares. When we believe a stock is selling at a large discount to its value, there are few things we like better than management increasing our ownership by reducing the outstanding shares.

Thank you for your continued investment in our Fund.

Portfolio Manager

oaklx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Select Fund increased 8% in the past quarter, bringing the gain for the first half of our fiscal year to 13%. The S&P 5002 also increased significantly, up 11% and 10% for the quarter and six months, respectively. Despite these increases, we believe stocks remain moderately undervalued relative to historical levels and extremely undervalued versus bonds.

In the first quarter of our fiscal year, financial and industrial stocks were among the market's best performers, and we own a lot of them. In this past quarter, stocks of stable businesses with high dividends tended to perform better than either financials or industrials. This trend does not appear to be supported by stock valuations. We believe that it was caused by investors searching for income who found these stocks to be cheaper than bonds. Though we agree with that assessment, we continue to believe that we will be more than adequately rewarded for owning somewhat riskier businesses at much lower P/E7 multiples.

Our best performing stock in the quarter was Dell, up 42%. Dell is in the midst of a bidding war between groups including Michael Dell (its CEO), Blackstone and Carl Icahn. We have decided, for now, to maintain our holding as we believe there is a reasonable probability that a higher bid will emerge. A more detailed discussion of our Dell position can be found in the commentary for the Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds.

We lost money on four stocks in the quarter, and these stocks prevented us from keeping up with the S&P 500. Kennametal followed a strong quarter with a 2% loss this quarter, which allowed us to fill out our position. Capital One declined 5%, due largely to management lowering its projection of how much the newly acquired HSBC credit card portfolio would add to earnings. Though we were disappointed that management bungled communication about its expectations, we don't believe this increases the probability of further earnings reductions. Our other losers were both energy stocks—Cenovus, down 7%, and Newfield, down 16%. Both companies reported fourth-quarter losses due to write-downs of natural gas assets mandated by the low gas price on December 31. Additionally, Cenovus is being hurt by tight pipeline capacity, which results in an unusually large price discount for its oil. We don't believe these issues are long-term problems, and therefore are not reducing our estimated value for either company.

During the quarter we added Forest Laboratories (FRX-$37) to the portfolio. Forest doesn't have the high yield or low P/E that has attracted investors to other pharmaceutical stocks, but it does have a collection of newly introduced drugs that we believe is worth significantly more than the stock price. A more complete explanation of our interest in Forest is available in the Oakmark Fund quarterly letter.

The purchase of Forest was largely funded by a continued reduction in our Discovery position. We couldn't be more

pleased with Discovery's growth in profitability, largely due to an increased number of viewers across its networks. We are also pleased with its use of cash to repurchase shares. But with the stock trading at $70, compared to less than $9 five years ago, it is hard to argue that investors are not giving them appropriate credit for that performance.

Thank you for your continued investment in our Fund.

12 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Equity and Income Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Clyde S. McGregor, CFA

Portfolio Manager
oakbx@oakmark.com

U.S. stocks enjoyed a sizable rally in the first calendar quarter. Fixed income investment returns were minimal, albeit positive after including income. For the past quarter, the Equity and Income Fund returned 6% while the Lipper Balanced Fund Index9, the Fund's performance benchmark, returned 5%. For the fiscal year's six months, the Fund returned 8%, which compares with the Lipper Index's 7%. The annualized compound rate of return since the Fund's inception in 1995 is 11% while the corresponding return to the Lipper Index is 7%.

Flowserve, Nestle, Dover, Cimarex Energy and Philip Morris International led the contributors' list for the quarter, while the detractors were Cenovus Energy, Walter Energy, Quest Diagnostics, Apache (sold) and Blount International. The stock market showed much more discrimination concerning energy industry investments in this quarter, rewarding our holdings that reported good finding costs and resource additions (e.g., Cimarex and Range Resources, the sixth-largest contributor), while penalizing Apache and the Fund's two Canadian holdings, Cenovus and EnCana, for differing reasons. I discuss the sale of Apache in the next section of the report. EnCana's announcement that its well-regarded CEO was taking early retirement surprised and disappointed investors. In the case of Cenovus, price realizations for Canadian heavy oil have been weak, thereby reducing profitability. During the first six months of our fiscal year, the largest contributors were Flowserve, Dover, Rockwell Automation, MasterCard and Nestle, and the leading detractors were Cenovus, Apache, EnCana, Quest Diagnostics and Devon Energy.

Out of the five top contributors to fiscal-year return, none led in terms of pure price appreciation. The five leading price performers (Patterson-UTI Energy, Lear, Bruker, Crane and TD Ameritrade) are all smaller holdings in the Fund, meaning that their outsized price increases did not make them leading contributors. Although one might wish that the Fund had held more shares in those names, their market capitalizations would have made this difficult. Nevertheless, we are glad for each share that we did own. The Fund has always been invested across market capitalizations (i.e., it is an all-cap fund), and in most investing environments, shareholders should expect a wide market cap range in the Fund's holdings.

Transaction Activity

I eliminated five holdings during the quarter, three that had excelled, one that disappointed and one that fell in between. To begin on a happy note, it was only one year ago that I wrote of the eBay purchase, so this idea came to investment maturity quite rapidly. In January 2012, we had what proved to be a fleeting opportunity to purchase eBay shares after the announcement of an unexpected management departure. We took advantage of the opportunity based on our belief that the company's PayPal unit was a "crown jewel" that investors did not fully appreciate. We sold our shares in eBay at close to our

target sell price after holding the position for a little more than one year, thereby attaining long-term taxation status. Although many of the Fund's shareholders may not care about tax considerations, others do hold their Fund shares in taxable accounts. We attempt to manage all of our Funds in a tax-friendly fashion, and our long-term investing horizon is a good match for that objective. Occasionally a holding's price may jump soon after purchase, however, and this outcome demands portfolio manager delicacy. That said, investment decisions always take priority over tax considerations.

I also eliminated holdings of Apache, Mohawk, Mine Safety Appliances and Texas Instruments. Apache was the signal disappointment within this group of sales. As noted in an earlier paragraph, when investors consider exploration and production company stocks, they are increasingly looking for companies that can find and produce oil and gas efficiently and at low cost. For many years, Apache was seen by its peers as a cost leader, but the company's statistics have been eroding meaningfully, which has limited its ability to grow intrinsic value per share, a characteristic that we demand in our investments. In contrast, both Mohawk and Mine Safety Appliance have produced solid fundamental results that translated into share prices that met our sell targets. Finally, the sale of our shares in Texas Instruments helped fund the purchase of a new holding, Oracle.

I initiated three new positions in the quarter: Atlas Air, AFLAC and the aforementioned Oracle. Starting with the latter, we hope our investment in Oracle will resemble our experience with eBay, although we certainly are not counting on it to do so as quickly. We purchased Oracle after the company's shares declined because of an earnings report in which the company minimally missed investor expectations. To be fair, many investors have been anxiously probing Oracle's reports for the past few years to discern whether trends in data management and enterprise software are moving away from the company's strengths, and the recent quarter's report did little to assuage those fears. On the positive side, Oracle has a huge installed base, and clients would incur enormous switching costs to move to alternative database schemes and software vendors. In addition, most new entrants into the market are niche players—they will win some business, but the truly large customers will find it difficult to risk moving central parts of their functionality to a small, young enterprise.

AFLAC is a leading supplemental insurance provider with operations concentrated in Japan and the U.S. While its television commercials have helped to make the company well known in the States, the majority of its profits originate in Japan, where the company dominates the cancer insurance sector. Our opportunity to purchase the stock developed as the Japanese yen began to weaken meaningfully because of a change in government monetary policy. Yen weakness reduces the value of the company's Japanese profits when expressed in dollars.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Investors have also been skeptical of the company's management of the large investment portfolio tied to its reserves. We believe, however, that the company has worked aggressively to reduce its risk exposures. The stock's above-average dividend yield is another positive attribute.

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings is an air freight and logistics company. We believe that the company's substantial investment in new, fuel-efficient aircraft has created a sustainable competitive advantage. In its primary business, Atlas operates its aircraft fleet for customers who are responsible for all fuel costs. Customers sign long-term "take-or-pay" contracts for minimum volumes, thereby affording Atlas the financial strength with which to make the enormous investment in freighters. As more of the new aircraft are delivered, we expect profit margins to increase, although we believe the company would benefit most from increasing international trade.

During the quarter, our team continued to work to shift the Fund's fixed-income allocation in a yield-enhancing direction while remaining cognizant of risk. As I have stated often, this is incredibly difficult in a world where many investors chase income. Large fund flows into this sector exacerbate this trend. Our experience with a recent Heinz bond offering provides a good illustration. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital recently announced the acquisition of Heinz, effectively taking the company private. To help finance the acquisition, the purchasing entity announced a sizable bond offering with initial "price talk" suggesting an interest rate around 5%. Believing this to be attractive, we expressed interest in participating. Unfortunately, we were far from unique in holding this opinion, and expressions of interest kept pouring in such that the underwriters were able to both increase the size of the bond offering and reduce the interest rate to 4.25%, at which level we had no desire to participate. According to Charles Mead's Bloomberg report11, this "coupon is the lowest ever awarded for similar maturity secured debt issued by high-yield companies" and it is "similar to what average investment-grade issuers paid as recently as February 2011." The Harris Associates fixed-income team and I will continue to work to build the Fund's corporate debt allocation, but only on terms that we believe will favor our shareholders. The net of our fixed-income activity in the quarter was to shrink the U.S. Treasury allocation while keeping the overall portfolio fixed-income duration virtually unchanged.

As always, I thank our shareholders for entrusting their assets to the Fund. I welcome your questions and comments.

Quarter Review

As was the case one year ago, the March quarter witnessed a strong rally in world stock markets, with very few countries experiencing losses. The Oakmark Global Fund gained 8% in the quarter. The MSCI World Index12 returned 8%, and the Lipper Global Fund Index13 gained 7%. For the Fund's fiscal six months, the return was 20%. This contrasts to 10% for the MSCI World Index and 12% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. As always, we are most pleased to report the Fund's 11% compound annualized rate of return since inception.

Countries that contributed most to the Fund's three-month return were the U.S., Japan and Switzerland, which are also by far the heaviest country weights in the portfolio. Spain, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands generated negative returns, but except for Germany, these countries have only one holding each represented in the portfolio. For the first half of the fiscal year, the positive contribution rankings were the same, with only Spain detracting from the Fund's return.

The Fund holdings with the highest contributions to return in the quarter were Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), Daiwa Securities (Japan), Live Nation (U.S.), Cimarex Energy (U.S.) and Discovery Communications, Class C (U.S.). Square Enix Holdings (Japan), Banco Santander (Spain), Canon (Japan), Kuehne + Nagel (Switzerland) and Incitec Pivot (Australia) were the primary detractors. For the fiscal six months, the leading contributors were Daiwa, Tenet Healthcare, Toyota Motor (Japan), Credit Suisse (Switzerland) and Mastercard (U.S.). The largest detractors were Square Enix Holdings, Apache (U.S.), Devon Energy (U.S.), Laboratory Corporation of America (U.S.) and Intel (U.S.). Our sale of Apache during the quarter is discussed below.

Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare and brokerage firm Daiwa Securities have been key contributors to the Fund's six-month return and outperformance. Tenet's price increase may look exceptional, but not within the context of the U.S. hospital industry. The ways that the industry might profit from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have not been lost on investors. In addition to its sector's strengths, Tenet stands out for its persistent share repurchasing. The largest non-U.S. contributor to performance was once again Daiwa, Japan's second-largest broker. Continued discussions of economic reforms have caused the Japanese market to rally and the yen to weaken. These positive developments contributed to Daiwa's strong quarterly results. The company's retail revenues increased 10%, and its retail profits grew 247%. Asset management revenues were up 4%, and profits in that segment were 50% higher than this time last year. In addition, the company's cost-cutting measures are paying off. Better trading profits and commissions have increased the wholesale unit's revenues by 117% from the year-ago period, marking that segment's first profitable quarter since 2009. Although Daiwa's stock price has more than doubled over the past six months, we continue to

believe the company has significant upside potential and that it will remain a good investment for our shareholders.

Square Enix has been the worst contributor for the past two quarters. We've written about cyclical and secular impacts affecting the entire gaming industry. These headwinds persist for all industry players. Management at Square Enix, however, has also executed poorly during recent major title launches, including Hitman and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, by overspending on development costs and undershooting volume expectations. Furthermore, the company had to write off about $85 million in development costs that management felt would not lead to adequate profitability. As a result, Yosuke Matsuda, the current CFO, will replace Yoichi Wada as president in June, and a new management team will be formed. While our assessment of intrinsic value has been negatively impacted, it has not fallen as much as the share price. Square Enix owns a library of strong content and has a loyal following among gamers, and the company's balance sheet still shows a large cash cushion. We're encouraged by the upcoming leadership changes and anxiously await the opportunity to assess the new team's strategy.

Portfolio Activity

Our portfolio activity in the quarter was modest when expressed in terms of new names or eliminations. That statement, however, does not begin to capture the extent of our daily efforts to maintain the best possible risk/return characteristics. Yamaha (Japan) was the only new purchase and Apache was the only stock holding that we completely eliminated. The U.S. portfolio weight declined slightly in the quarter, as purchase/sale activity more than offset the period's superior price performance of U.S. equities.

Clients often ask us "Aside from meeting your price targets or to satisfy redemptions, what fundamental rationale do you have for selling a stock out of the portfolio?" The answer derives from our investing process and value philosophy. We have often stated the shorthand version of our philosophy: Invest in quality businesses selling at a discount to our estimated intrinsic value, businesses that persistently grow their intrinsic value per share, and businesses with management teams that think and act as if they owned the business but who treat their shareholders as their partners. When we approve an equity for purchase, we also establish "reasons to own," which help us assess the performance of the company over time. A company whose results begin to challenge our reasons to own demands our immediate attention. Such a company is also likely not to be growing its intrinsic value per share as we anticipated. Apache falls into this category. When we purchased shares in Apache, our analysis indicated an astutely managed company with a well-diversified portfolio of oil and gas properties. Our primary reasons to own were low resource development costs, above-average growth in reserves and production and great

international assets that included a large concession in Egypt. More recently, however, the company's costs to find and develop oil and gas have increased steeply. Rising costs have slowed the pace of the company's reserve growth, causing its intrinsic value per share to stagnate. Finally, its important holdings in Egypt are difficult to value today, given the political change under way there. These combined factors prompted us to sell our shares.

Yamaha Motor is probably best known in the U.S. for its outboard marine engine business. However, over 60% of its sales and most of its profits come from emerging market countries. Yamaha has strong market positions in fast-growing areas such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, where motorcycles and scooters are primary methods of transportation. Recently, management has pursued entry into other developing regions, including India, where it expects to gain significant market share with its new "Ray" scooter model. In addition to building business in emerging economies, management has cut fixed costs, thereby reducing the break-even point for its motorcycle business in developed regions.

Hedge Discussion

Although many global currencies have weakened compared to the U.S. dollar, we believe some currencies are overvalued, so we defensively hedge the Fund's currency exposure. The Japanese yen continued to depreciate during the quarter, reaching levels not seen since 2009. We decreased our hedge to 20% of our yen exposure. Our yen hedges added over 85 basis points worth of performance for the first quarter alone. Approximately 58% of our Australian dollar and 28% of our Swiss franc exposures were also hedged at quarter end.

Oakmark Global Select Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakwx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, matching the MSCI World Index's12 return of 8%. During the first half of the fiscal year, the Fund returned 19%, compared to 10% for the MSCI World Index. More importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 7% per year since inception, outperforming the MSCI World Index, which has averaged 3% per year over the same period.

The largest contributor to performance was Dell, a U.S.-based computer manufacturer, which returned 42%. In February, a group led by Dell CEO Michael Dell offered to purchase all outstanding Dell shares for $13.65 per share. While that price was a nice premium to the year-end price of $10.14, many of Dell's long-term investors, including us, thought the offer should have been higher. We shared with Dell's board our belief that the sale process should be open and transparent so that all offers can receive fair consideration. Currently two alternative acquisition proposals have been presented, and we expect the board to conclude, as we have, that one of these new offers will be better for shareholders. We anticipate the board's decision soon.

Another large contributor was Daiwa Securities, Japan's second-largest brokerage. Continued talk of economic reform from Japan's new government has led to a weakening of the yen and a rally in the Japanese stock market. These positive developments contributed to Daiwa's strong quarterly results. Compared with the same quarter last year, retail revenues increased 10% and profits more than doubled, while asset management revenues were up 4% and profits were 50% higher. In addition, the wholesale unit realized its first profitable quarter since 2009, produced by higher trading profits and commissions, along with solid cost-cutting. Although Daiwa's stock price has more than doubled over the past six months, we continue to believe Daiwa has significant upside.

Kuehne + Nagel, a Swiss-based freight forwarder, was the Fund's largest detractor from performance for the quarter, losing 9%. Even though Kuehne continued to gain market share and significantly outpaced the market in 2012, the overall market did not grow at historical rates during that time. Kuehne's fiscal year 2012 results were below expectations. Profitability fell in the ocean market due to increased competition, while profits were down in the air market because costs were not cut quickly enough to respond to decreased demand. Management has since implemented a global cost-reduction program for the air market, so we expect improvement in this area in 2013. Despite a challenging 2012, Kuehne remains in the top tier of forwarders globally on all major trade lanes, and we believe that it will be a solid long-term investment for our shareholders.

Cenovus Energy, an integrated oil company, also detracted from performance during the quarter. Cenovus reported a fourth-quarter loss as a result of writing down its natural gas assets, necessitated by the low gas price on December 31. Additionally,

tight pipeline capacity has caused an unusually large price discount for its oil, thereby reducing the company's current cash flow. We don't believe either of these issues are long-term problems, and therefore we are not significantly reducing our estimate of the company's value.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with our European holdings increasing to 37% and Japanese holdings decreasing to 16%. The remainder of the Fund's investments, excluding cash, are in North America. We did not add or remove any names from the Fund during the quarter.

Although many global currencies have weakened compared to the U.S. dollar, we continue to believe some are overvalued, and we are defensively hedging the Fund's currency exposure. As of quarter end, approximately 22% of the Swiss franc and 13% of the Japanese yen exposures were hedged.

We thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and confidence.

28 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark International Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund returned 5.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index14, which returned 4.7% over the same period. For the first six months of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund returned 20%, which outperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index's 11% return. Since its inception in September 1992, the Fund has returned an average of 11% per year, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6% per year over the same period.

For the second straight quarter, Daiwa Securities, Japan's second-largest brokerage, was the largest contributor to performance. Continued talk of economic reform from Japan's new government has led to a weakening of the yen and a rally in Japan's stock market. These positive developments contributed to Daiwa's strong quarterly results. Compared with the same quarter last year, retail revenues increased 10% and profits more than doubled, while asset management revenues were up 4% and profits were 50% higher. In addition, the wholesale unit realized its first profitable quarter since 2009, produced by higher trading profits and commissions, along with solid cost-cutting. Although Diawa's stock price has more than doubled over the past six months, we continue to believe Daiwa has significant upside and will remain a good investment for our shareholders.

Another large contributor to performance for the quarter was Olympus, a world leader in endoscopes and other medical equipment, which returned 22%. Its medical systems group designs and manufactures clinical analyzers and other imaging devices. Olympus also makes products such as binoculars, microscopes, measuring equipment, printers, barcode scanners and magneto-optical disk drives, as well as traditional cameras. The share price rallied early in the quarter after Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa indicated the central bank would pursue monetary easing, which stands to benefit export-oriented companies. Share prices also rallied after Olympus announced plans to cut interest-bearing debt by 100 billion yen during the next fiscal year, much more than the 70 billion target in the original plan.

The top two detractors from performance were European banks hurt by Eurozone instability: Intesa Sanpaolo and Banco Santander. While the latest quarterly results for Intesa Sanpaolo were mixed, the larger issue in the quarter was the disappointing Italian election results, which have left the country without a clear government. This has called into question whether Italy will continue on the austerity path set by the technocratic Monti government. Furthermore, the conditions of the Cypriot bailout have put pressure on banks in both Italy and Spain. Despite Italy's disappointing electoral results, we continue to believe that Italy is in better long-term fiscal shape than many investors think and that it should not be lumped together with the other European Union periphery countries. We also

continue to believe Intesa Sanpaolo is attractively valued and well-managed, and that it has the highest quality retail franchise in Italy. Banco Santander also reported mixed results in its latest quarter. Although operating revenue and net interest income were lower than expected, operating costs were in line with expectations, and credit costs were less than anticipated. Santander's balance sheet remains strong, as the company has continued to strengthen its liquidity, capital and non-performing loan coverage. Deposit growth was strong in Spain (+10%), which management attributed to customers seeking out quality banks as a result of the recent series of bank failures. In addition, certain banks are under scrutiny by the Bank of Spain for uneconomic deposit pricing. We believe that Banco Santander's strength and quality will serve both its customers and its investors well.

We purchased one new stock during the quarter: AMP, the leading independent wealth management company in Australia and New Zealand. Australian law requires employers to contribute 9% of salary to employees' retirement, and this number is expected to increase to 12% by 2019. This is in addition to member contributions, which have averaged 2-3% over the past few years. We believe AMP will benefit from the required contribution increase as well as expected wage growth in Australia.

Our geographical composition has changed since last quarter. Our European holdings increased to 68%, our Pacific Rim exposure decreased to 27% and our combined Latin America and North America (Canada) exposure remained at 3%. The remainder of the portfolio is invested in the Middle East.

Although many global currencies have weakened compared to the U.S. dollar, we continue to believe they are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedge a portion of the Fund's currency exposure, though all hedges in the portfolio were reduced last quarter. As of quarter-end, approximately 51% of the Australian dollar, 13% of the Japanese yen, 26% of the Swiss franc and 9% of the Swedish krona exposures were hedged.

We thank you for your continued support.

32 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark International Small Cap Fund  March 31, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakex@oakmark.com

Michael L. Manelli, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakex@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, slightly underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index17, which returned 7% for the same period. For the Fund's fiscal six months, the return was 15%, compared to 12% for the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index.

The top contributing stock for both the quarter and six-month period was Myer Holdings, Australia's largest department store group. Myer performed well during the holiday season, and as a result, its second-quarter sales rose 2.1%. The company has reported nine straight months of positive comparable sales growth, a very encouraging trend. Myer has invested in systems, has done a very good job reducing costs, and is continuing to drive its highly profitable Myer Exclusive brands. The company is now focused on profitably growing the top line and making Myer a more competitive retailer. It is working to optimize product mix and space through refurbishing its stores and through ongoing changes, such as investing in service, improving its merchandise offerings, bringing its pricing in line with international levels, and providing a more credible online experience. We remain optimistic that Myer will continue to grow shareholder value over the long term.

The largest detractor from the Fund's performance for the past quarter was gategroup, the world's largest independent provider of catering services to the airline industry. gategroup released preliminary 2012 results in February that were in line with its recently lowered guidance, but its 2013 outlook was below market forecasts, which led to a decline in share price. The lower profitability at gategroup is coming from weak performance at its European operations, where EBITDA margins have declined from 9% to 5.75% over the past two years. gategroup is adjusting its footprint in Europe to respond to changes in customer demand, but we believe it will take until 2014 for these actions to begin to improve its profitability there. The downturn in European profitability has been larger than we forecast when we initially invested in gategroup. However, we believe management is taking the appropriate actions to restructure the business and that current valuations do not reflect these actions or the company's continued growth in North America and the emerging markets, where it continues to perform well. Although gategroup has been a disappointing investment over the past 18 months, we continue to see value in the stock and thus remain shareholders.

While international stocks have been performing well, this hasn't hindered our ability to find new attractive investment candidates. We added eight securities to the Fund this quarter. In Japan we purchased shares in Capcom, a software gaming company, and Nihon Parkerizing, a specialty chemical company. We also reintroduced two former Fund holdings, both regional South Korean banks: BS Financial Group and DGB Financial Group. Other new purchases included Norma Group,

a German auto parts supplier; Saft Groupe, a French battery manufacturer; Countrywide, a U.K. property services group; and DSV A/V, a Danish transport company. We sold Brunel International, TKC, Fourlis Holdings, Burckhardt Compression, Duerr and Pasona Group.

Because we continue to believe that the U.S. dollar remains weak against some currencies, we maintained hedge positions on five of the Fund's currency exposures. At the recent quarter end, we had hedged 57% of the Fund's Australian dollar, 57% of the Norwegian krone, 31% of the Swiss franc, 12% of the Japanese yen and 34% of the Swedish krona exposures.

We thank you for your continued confidence and support.

The Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are the significant accounting policies of Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark"), Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income"), Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), Oakmark Global Select Fund ("Global Select"), Oakmark International Fund ("International"), and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small Cap"), collectively referred to as the "Funds," each a series of Harris Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, organized on February 1, 1991, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund, other than Select and Global Select, is diversified in accordance with the 1940 Act. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Class disclosure—

Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. Class I Shares are offered to the general public. Class II Shares are offered to certain retirement plans such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Class II Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average net assets of Class II Shares of the Funds. This service fee is paid to a third-party administrator for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Class I Shares do not have such an associated service fee. Global Select had no outstanding Class II shares during the period ended March 31, 2013.

Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses of the Funds not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are allocated to each class pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and other shareholder servicing fees are specific to each class.

Redemption fees—

Int'l Small Cap imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to help offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by abusive trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is paid to the Fund and is 2% of the redemption value and is deducted from either the redemption proceeds or from the balance in the account. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method is used to determine the holding period. The Funds may approve the waiver of redemption fees on certain types of accounts held through intermediaries, pursuant to the Funds' policies and procedures.

Security valuation—

The Funds' share prices or net asset values ("NAVs") are calculated as of the close of regular session trading (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on any day on which the NYSE is open for trading. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges in the United States and over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price on the day of valuation, or lacking any reported sales that day, at the most recent bid quotation. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges outside the United States are valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sales price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, or the official closing price, or are based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Each long-term debt instrument is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, lacking any reported sale price on the valuation date, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations or, if the mean is not available, at the most recent bid quotation.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE. At March 31, 2013 Global and International each held a security for which a market quotation was not readily available and which was valued by the pricing committee at a fair value determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The value for each of these securities is determined from observable market prices of similar assets.

Fair value measurement—

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are prioritized into three broad levels as follows:

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, and others)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds' own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds recognize transfers between level 1 and 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At the period ended March 31, 2013 Equity and Income had a transfer from level 2 to level 1 in the amount of $574,585,642. The transfer was due to a security no longer being valued based on observable market prices of similar assets, but instead by a market quotation.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2013 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Foreign currency translations—

Certain Funds invest in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates obtained by a recognized bank, dealer, or independent pricing service on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and tax reclaims recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the Statements of Operations.

Forward foreign currency contracts—

Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates. Unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the period is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.

Security transactions and investment income—

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed), and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discount is accreted and premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method and on short-term fixed income securities using the straight-line method. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the specific identification method.

Short sales—

Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. At March 31, 2013, none of the Funds had short sales.

When-issued or delayed-delivery securities—

Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons.

Accounting for options—

When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from option transactions. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current fair value. Options written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparties, to perform.

When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of OTC derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.

The Funds did not write or purchase options during the period ended March 31, 2013.

The Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Committed line of credit—

The Trust has an unsecured committed line of credit (the "Facility") with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in the amount of $500 million. Borrowings under that arrangement bear interest at 1.25% above the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement. To maintain the Facility, an annualized commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the period ended March 31, 2013.

Expense offset arrangement—

State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2013, none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.

Repurchase agreements—

Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments whereby the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price.

The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

Security lending—

Each Fund, except Oakmark, may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Treasurys maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by the Fund. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. In addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period.

At March 31, 2013, Equity and Income and Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $8,024,701, and $6,999,803 respectively, and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $8,186,065 and $7,358,541 respectively.

Restricted securities—

The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued in good faith according to the securities valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.

At March 31, 2013, Equity and Income, Global and International held the following restricted securities:

The Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Federal income taxes—

It is each 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 net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. There is no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2012 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund has an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. For management services and facilities furnished, the Adviser receives from each Fund a monthly fee based on that Fund's net assets at the end of the preceding month. Annual fee rates are as follows:

The Adviser is contractually obligated through January 31, 2014 to reimburse each Fund Class to the extent, but only to the extent, that its annualized expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary charges such as litigation costs, but including fees paid to the Adviser) exceed the percent set forth below of average daily net assets of each Fund Class.

The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2017, amounts reimbursed to that Fund Class, except to the extent that the Fund Class already has paid such recoupment to the Adviser or such recoupment would cause the annual ordinary operating expenses of a Fund Class for that fiscal year to exceed the applicable limit stated above. As of March 31, 2013 there were no amounts subject to recoupment.

The Adviser and the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an agreement with the Adviser that calls for each Fund to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediary (which generally are a percentage of value of the shares held) not exceeding the lesser of 75% of the fees charged by the intermediary or what the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer's shares been registered

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediary. The Adviser pays the remainder of the fees. The fees incurred by the Funds are reflected as other shareholder servicing fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Independent Trustees of the Trust may participate in the Trust's Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of a participant's deferral account is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more of the Funds or a money market fund as specified by the participant. Benefits would be payable after a stated number of years or retirement from the board. The accrued obligations of the Funds under the plan are reflected as deferred Trustee compensation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the accrued obligations for the period is included in Trustees fees in the Statements of Operations. The Trust pays the compensation of the Trustees other than those affiliated with the Adviser and all expenses incurred in connection with their services to the Trust. The Trust does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its Trustees.

The Funds reimburse the Adviser for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The CCO expenses incurred by the Funds are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations.

Temporary differences will reverse over time. The Funds have permanent differences in book/tax undistributed earnings primarily attributable to currency gains and losses. Permanent differences have been recorded in their respective component of the Analysis of Net Assets.

64 THE OAKMARK FUNDS




The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding The Board of Trustees' October 2012 Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts As Approved April 17, 2013

Each year, the Board of Trustees of the Oakmark Funds (the "Board"), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") to determine whether to continue each Fund's investment advisory agreement (each an "Agreement") with the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). The Board requests and receives from the Adviser a broad range of materials and information that are relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Agreements, both throughout the year and especially in connection with its annual review of the Agreements. In addition, the Board retains an independent data provider to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and for comparable funds.

The Board's committee on contracts (the "Committee") leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised entirely of trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. During the last year, the Committee and the Board met numerous times to consider the Agreements. At each of those meetings, the Committee and the Board were advised by, and met in executive session with, their experienced independent legal counsel.

In connection with their consideration of each Agreement, the Committee and the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund, as well as performance information for comparable funds, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund, as well as fee and expense information for comparable funds and separate accounts managed by the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels share with Fund investors economies of scale and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund.

At a meeting held on October 17, 2012, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, upon recommendation of the Committee, determined that the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the continuation of the Agreements through October 31, 2013. Below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board's conclusions regarding various factors. In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed the information differently.

1.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge the Board gained during meetings with the Adviser throughout the year. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; the consistency of its investment approach; the background and experience of the Adviser's investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds; the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds; the Adviser's comprehensive compliance program; and the favorable recognition of the Adviser and the Funds in the media and in industry publications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds, including the time that investment personnel devoted to each Fund and the investment results produced as a result of the Adviser's in-house research. The Board also noted the significant personal investments that the Adviser's personnel have made in the Funds, which serve to further align the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the Fund's Agreement and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its Agreement with the Adviser.

2.  Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, including how the Fund performed compared to the performance of a group of comparable funds (the Fund's "Performance Universe") selected by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). Among the performance periods considered by the Board were those ended on April 30, 2012. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:

Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. Noting that its focus continues to be on longer-term performance, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during the five- and ten-year periods, although it underperformed the Universe Median during the one- and three-year periods. The Board also took into account the Adviser's assertion that the Fund's risk profile generally is more conservative than many of its peers, which may result in relative underperformance during periods of exceptionally high returns in the equity markets.

Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

Oakmark Global Select Fund. Noting that the Fund commenced operations in October 2006, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

oakmark.com 65



Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.

In addition to comparing each Fund's performance to that of its Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance compared to that of its benchmark and other comparative data provided by Lipper, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk. After considering all of this information, the Board concluded that the Adviser was delivering performance for each Fund that was consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Fund, and that the Fund and its shareholders were benefiting from the Adviser's investment management of the Fund

3.  Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser

Using information provided by Lipper, the Board evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the advisory fee for other mutual funds comparable in size, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group"), and each Fund's expense ratio compared to that of the Expense Group.

The Board also reviewed the Adviser's advisory fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and subadvised funds (for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). The Board noted the Adviser's explanation that, although in most instances, the fees paid by those other clients were lower than the fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's significantly greater level of responsibilities and broader scope of services regarding the Funds, and the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds.

The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees and the relationship of such compensation to the Adviser's ability to attract and retain quality personnel. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as an Investment Management Industry Profitability Analysis prepared by Lipper. The Board examined the pre-tax profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, as presented in the profitability analyses, as well as the financial condition of the Adviser.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and expense ratio of each Fund is set forth below:

Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board, in its consideration of expenses, took into account its review of the Fund's performance. The Board also considered that it and the Adviser agreed to reduce the Oakmark Fund's advisory fee from 0.70% to 0.675% for $7.5-$10 billion of assets under management and from 0.65% to 0.625% for assets under management over $10 billion.

Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Global Fund and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board, in its consideration of expenses, also took into account its review of each Fund's performance.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund and Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate is higher than the median of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that each Fund's total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, is lower than the median of each Fund's Expense Group.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee and total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

After its review of all the matters addressed, including those outlined above, the Board concluded that the management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided, and that the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services performed.

4.  Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies

The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee structure provides for a sharing with shareholders of potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Agreement, which includes breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as a Fund's assets increase. The Board also considered that it and the Adviser had agreed to additional breakpoints in the Agreement for Oakmark Fund. The Board concluded that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser.

5.  Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board also considered other benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as the Funds' distributor, without compensation, pursuant to a written agreement the Board evaluates annually.

The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser and considered the Adviser's assertion that its use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the continuation of each Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. On October 17, 2012, the Board continued each Agreement.
