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  September 30, 2013

President's Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The Oakmark Funds posted strong absolute and relative returns during the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2013, with each Fund significantly outperforming its benchmark for the period. While we are gratified by such rewarding results, we always look to our long-term performance to determine whether we are meeting our shareholders' expectations. This quarter, our portfolio managers' letters reflect upon the fiscal year and explain why we still find equity valuations attractive, even after the recent market gains.

Slowing Cash Inflows

Cash flows into the Oakmark International Fund were substantial in 2013. We have chosen to slow inflows beginning in October by closing the Fund to most new investors. Existing shareholders, including retirement plans and advisory platforms, can continue to add to their accounts or platforms. Our prospectus supplement at www.oakmark.com provides more specific details. An essential part of acting as good stewards of shareholder assets is monitoring the size of a fund versus our capacity to invest. Our experience with partial closes is that fund flows tend to level, rather than turn into net redemptions, as often occurs with full closes. This matches our desire for continued orderly investment into new, undervalued companies, while retiring those that have appreciated closer to our estimate of full business value.

Capacity determinations reflect several of our core tenets. We construct our portfolios so that successful ideas can meaningfully contribute to portfolio returns. We do this by limiting the number of stocks we own in a portfolio and by assigning the largest weights to companies that we believe trade at the greatest discount to business value. We determine holding limits for the level of outstanding shares of a company we are willing to own. These holding limits consider factors such as the average daily trading volume of the security, and they reflect our conviction in the company's business model, management team, and level of potential upside relative to business value. To test capacity, we

determine the desired position size in the Fund, and evaluate how the consequent dollar amount fits these criteria and the universe of opportunities reflected on our approved lists. We are committed to closing a fund ahead of any indications of strain, especially while there is plenty of capacity ahead for existing shareholders.

Outlook for Year-End Distributions

Mutual funds are required to distribute their income and realized capital gains annually. Throughout the year Oakmark managers strive to be tax efficient, paying close attention to maximizing after-tax returns without reducing pre-tax returns. Securities are typically held for several years, thus our distributions tend to be long-term and subject to a more favorable tax rate. That said, the Funds have experienced large absolute returns over the past year, and several positions were sold as they approached full valuation. The time period to accrue capital gains for distribution stays open through October, and income distributions continue to accrue through December 31. However, many shareholders appreciate when we share our outlook. At this time, each of the Oakmark Funds expects to pay a distribution, ranging from nominal amounts to a few dollars per share. In all cases they are expected to represent low- or mid-single-digit percentages of the respective Fund's net asset value—which we believe are very reasonable levels given performance over the year. We will release more definitive estimates on our website in mid-November, once the applicable recording periods have closed.

Thank you for your continued investment and confidence in The Oakmark Funds. We welcome your comments and suggestions. You may reach us via email at ContactOakmark@oakmark.com.

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 April 1, 2013 to September 30, 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 September 30, 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, held 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. 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 transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

4 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Fund  September 30, 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 7% during the past quarter, which brings the gain to 27% for the fiscal year ended September 30. The S&P 5001 gained 5% in the quarter and gained 19% for the fiscal year. While we are thrilled with these strong results, we remind shareholders that our style doesn't typically lead to such dramatic outperformance in periods of broad market gains.

Looking back at the fiscal year, we outperformed a very strong 19% return for the S&P 500 with leading performance from the financials and information technology sectors. We still find these two sectors to be attractively valued, and they currently represent a combined 47% of our portfolio. For the fiscal year, 26 of the Oakmark Fund's holdings gained over 30%, and only Apple declined by more than 20%. Despite Apple's poor full fiscal year performance, it was one of the Fund's top two performers for the third quarter, gaining 21%. After a period of skepticism surrounding the company's ability to create compelling new products, Apple is once again experiencing strong demand for its recently introduced iPhones. We remain pleased that the company is allocating more of their $145B cash balance to share repurchases and dividends. Throughout the market, even as equity valuations have increased, we are still finding attractive opportunities in businesses with strong balance sheets, high free cash flow, and a management committed to return a substantial portion of excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

During the quarter, we eliminated positions in Boeing and Northrop Grumman as both approached our sell targets. We started new positions in Nestle and Qualcomm, which are described briefly below:

Nestle S.A. (NSRGY-$70)

Nestle is a global leader in packaged foods with $100 billion of revenue and operations in over 70 countries. The company has more than 25 brands with sales over $1 billion, with leading market share in most of their product categories. With broad exposure to high-growth emerging markets, Nestle has enjoyed strong and consistent revenue growth. Like many of our holdings, Nestle generates more cash than they need to run the business, so the company has used a significant portion of its excess cash to repurchase shares and pay dividends. Over the past four years, Nestle has reduced their share count by over 10%. We think this is a high quality, stable business that deserves to sell at a premium, so we initiated a position when Nestle was priced at a discount to other global consumer products companies due to concerns about Europe.

Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM-$67)

Qualcomm is the global leader in wireless technology licensing and mobile device chipsets. Qualcomm has dominant market share in both businesses, and it uses the strong recurring cash flow from its licensing business to reinvest in its chipset business. The company owns intellectual property that defines many of

the standards used for 3G and 4G wireless communication, which allows it to collect royalties from handset providers that license these ubiquitous standards. Qualcomm's licensing business accounts for only a third of the company's revenue, and it is often underappreciated. However, its licensing business has unusually high profitability and represents close to two-thirds of Qualcomm's profits. The majority of the world's mobile handset users are still using older 2G technology, which is not a focus area for Qualcomm, so when these customers upgrade to 3G and 4G, Qualcomm should be well positioned to enjoy robust incremental revenue. The company is also the leading provider of chipsets, which function as the brains for wireless devices. Qualcomm's industry-leading product breadth and peer-leading R&D investment should drive the company's chipset growth. We expect Qualcomm to earn over $4.50 per share in a couple of years, and after adjusting for $20/share of cash, this high-quality business is priced at a forward P/E6 of just 11x.

Oakmark Select Fund  September 30, 2013

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund gained 6%, compared to 5% for the S&P 5001. This brings the Fund's fiscal year (September 30) return to a strong absolute and relative return of 28%, compared to 19% for the S&P 500. As we've stated in the past, our investors should not expect this magnitude of absolute and relative performance every quarter or year, but we hope you enjoy them, as we do as fellow investors in the Fund.

These strong fiscal-year results were primarily due to stock selection and our relatively large weighting in more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and financials. Our five largest contributors were TRW Automotive Holdings (up 63%), TE Connectivity (56%), Bank of America (57%), AIG (49%) and MasterCard (50%). You may have noticed that many of our top 5 contributors to performance remain among our largest holdings. This is not by accident. We are constantly evaluating the upside of our holdings relative to our estimate of intrinsic value on a risk-adjusted basis. Despite the strong price performance, we believe these investments remain attractive enough to warrant above average weights in the portfolio. Our largest two detractors were both energy related. Newfield Exploration (down 13%) and Cenovus Energy (down 12%) were the only two current holdings that generated negative returns over the past 12 months.

During the past fiscal year, we eliminated three positions in the Fund (Discovery Holdings, Dell, BMC Software) and added three new positions (Forest Laboratories, Kennametal, Oracle). Although this is less change than the Fund normally experiences, we neither wear this with a badge of honor nor manage the portfolio to a non-economic metric such as a turnover ratio. Position changes are simply the result of applying our investment process, which is to buy businesses at substantial discounts to our estimate of intrinsic value, where we see a clear path to that value growing on a per share basis, and management is focused on maximizing per share value. We sell a stock when we believe one or more of these criteria are no longer met.

We have discussed our thoughts on the Discovery and Dell sales in past letters, but we did receive a worthy update on BMC since we sold it in the fourth quarter of 2012. Recall that BMC management conducted a strategic review during the second quarter that we owned the stock and decided to remain an independent company. Given the lack of a compelling purchase offer for BMC during the review, we exited our position because we no longer believed it was selling at a significant discount to private market value. Our opinion has since been validated. On September 10, 2013, BMC management sold the company for $46.25 per share—roughly 12% above our average sale price. During that same time, the Oakmark Select Fund and the S&P 500 returned 25% and 20%, respectively—both well in excess of BMC's modest price increase.

In the past fiscal year, we purchased Forest Laboratories, Kennametal, and Oracle, which were all discussed in prior letters. Forest's many new drug launches remain on track with our original estimates and we look forward to this value being demonstrated in the income statement as sales ramp relative to expenses over the next several years. Kennametal is still operating well below our estimate of mid-cycle earnings though managing expenses consistent with our expectations such that incremental profits from an eventual recovery in demand ought to result in substantial profit improvement. In the quarter we have owned Oracle, it has had more difficulty keeping up with Wall Street's expectations than with ours. We continue to view the shares—selling at approximately 10x free cash flow—as significantly undervalued. Meanwhile, management is doing the right thing by aggressively repurchasing shares at what we believe to be a terrific price.

One year ago in this letter we discussed our view that equities remained the most attractively priced asset class despite having returned 30% in the prior year. One year later, the S&P gained another 19%, and Oakmark Select returned 28%, while the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index8 experienced a decline of 2%. While it's personally rewarding to see our analysis confirmed, you are likely (and rightly) more concerned about whether our opinion has changed. In short, it has not. While equities may be less undervalued than they were one year ago, we believe they are still reasonably priced, particularly when compared to bonds, which continue to offer historically low yields.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

A Good September Quarter Surprise

"Sell in May and go away" is a well-known phrase in the investing community. It derives from empirical observations that the summer months are often difficult for the stock market. September has a particularly high propensity to produce losses. Academics spend considerable effort attempting to explain these market tendencies, yet the past two years will only make their job more difficult: in both years the September quarters have been quite rewarding to investors.

The Equity and Income Fund participated in the September quarter's strength, earning 8% in the period, which contrasts to a 5% gain for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index9, the Fund's performance benchmark. For the nine months of the calendar year the returns are 16% for the Fund, and 10% for the Lipper Index. Finally, for the Funds' fiscal year ending September 30, the return to the Fund was 18%, while the Lipper Index returned 12%. 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%.

Rockwell Automation, Cimarex Energy, Dover, FedEx and General Dynamics contributed most significantly to the past quarter's returns. The largest detractors were Foot Locker, Ultra Petroleum (purchased during the quarter—see below), Laboratory Corporation of America, Range Resources (sold early in the quarter) and Staples. The price declines for the detractors were all quite small. Over the past nine months, detractors included Walter Energy (sold), Cenovus Energy, EnCana, Blount International and Apache (sold). The largest contributors to portfolio return were Dover, United Health, General Dynamics, MasterCard and Cimarex Energy. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year, the largest contributors were Dover, Rockwell Automation, General Dynamics, MasterCard and Flowserve (sold in the quarter). The largest 12-month detractors were Walter Energy, Cenovus Energy, EnCana, Apache and Devon Energy. The detractors were all energy resource companies, although Walter primarily produces coal used in the production of steel.

We write this letter at a time of unusual macroeconomic uncertainty given the twin possibilities for governmental shutdown and federal debt default. We see little value in ruminating about the various possibilities, especially since this may all be resolved in the time between letter completion and its distribution. We leave it to our friends in the trading community to attempt to profit from the volatility surrounding the political controversy. We will continue to focus on understanding the long-term fundamental values of the Fund's holdings, both current and prospective. We believe that, regardless of the maneuvering in

Washington, the employees of the companies in which we invest will go home at the end of each day knowing that they have helped to increase their employer's value.

Transaction Activity

Our activity in the September quarter favored the sell side as we eliminated five holdings while initiating only one. As noted above, absolute returns have been strong over the past 12 months. To produce this level of return, many stocks within the portfolio have excelled—and several more reached—our sell targets. To review our process, as value managers we establish buy and sell targets for the stock of any company that is voted onto our firm's approved list. Buy targets are normally set at 60% of our estimate of the company's intrinsic value and sell targets at 90%. Of course, our targets are not static. With new information and the passage of time, our targets evolve to reflect a business' current fundamentals better. Generally, when a stock approaches the sell target we begin to reduce the size of the holding because its relative attraction has diminished. Its higher price makes it less able to compete for portfolio space. Sometimes, however, the stock price jumps to the area of its sell target because of a merger offer, which is what happened this past quarter to one of the Fund's smallest companies, Kaydon. Kaydon is a quality manufacturer with strong market shares in specialty industrial products such as bearings and seals. SKF, a Swedish industrial company, recognized Kaydon's attractiveness and agreed to purchase the company during the quarter.

The other four portfolio eliminations also had an industrial orientation. Northrop Grumman is a major defense and aerospace contractor. The company is well-managed and shareholder-friendly with a solid history of dividends and share repurchase. Teledyne Technologies also has products in aerospace and defense electronics as well as digital imaging, although instrumentation is its largest segment. Range Resources is an exploration and production company with major leaseholds in the Marcellus Shale. Natural gas prices have been low for many months, and the outlook is for prices to stay low well into the future. This means that controlling production costs is essential for profitability, and Range's costs are among the industry's lowest. Last, but hardly least, is Flowserve, a leading manufacturer of pumps, valves and seals. Flowserve served the Equity and Income Fund well during its nearly three years in the portfolio, and we wish to thank our recently retired long-time partner John Raitt for this successful idea (as well as many others). We did not enjoy eliminating any of these five holdings from the portfolio as each company had been performing well and meeting or exceeding expectations. Nevertheless, our discipline

demands that we move on whenever price and our estimate of intrinsic value per share come together.

The Fund's one new purchase is actually a return to a previous holding, Ultra Petroleum. During the past year, companies in the energy sector have experienced a wide variety of investment outcomes. A few, such as Cimarex and Range, have enjoyed strong share price increases, but others, such as Ultra, have trailed market returns. We sold the Fund's Ultra holding 17 months ago to realize a tax loss but have watched the company carefully over the intervening period. In our opinion the discount to value in Ultra is simply too great to prevail indefinitely, particularly with its solid management team that is heavily invested in the company.

Fixed Income Management under Rate Suppression

Times remain unusual in the world of fixed income investing. The Federal Reserve continues to suppress interest rates through the purchase of Treasury and Agency securities. Although this policy does not appear to have had the desired effect of increasing business investment, it did produce negative real interest rates on 10-year Treasuries for all of 2012 and much of 2013. Negative real rates make the search for attractive fixed income instruments extremely difficult. Early in the summer interest rates increased fairly dramatically when the Fed suggested that monetary policy would soon become less accommodating (what became known as "the taper"), and we became hopeful that attractive opportunities would develop. In September, however, the Fed elected to maintain its previous policy, and rates have retraced some of their move upward. It is difficult to invest prudently in fixed income investments when rates are being managed to such low levels.

Our basic answer has been to accept credit, but not duration, risk. What this means in practice is that we have kept maturities of our investments very short, particularly for low-risk issuers such as governments and agencies, while we seek out opportunities to increase portfolio yield with what we think is well-priced corporate debt. During much of the past three years this has been difficult to execute when investors were pouring money into fixed income funds. Generally, managers of fixed income funds invest money as it comes in without regard for value considerations. In the most recent quarter, however, the competition was less fierce because investors were pulling money from bond funds.

We have made progress in building the Fund's corporate debt allocation, but this process will take time because of our price and quality requirements, combined with these unusual market conditions. Even with some success to this effort, any increase in portfolio income yield will hardly be stunning. When we opened the Fund to investment in 1995, we naively assumed as our base case that the Fund would average 6% yields on its fixed income allocation. Those days passed very quickly. Although the search for fixed income return is less rewarding than in the past, we continue the search, always guided by our disciplined value philosophy.

Once again we thank our fellow shareholders for investing in the Equity and Income Fund and welcome your comments and questions.

20 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Global Fund  September 30, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Clyde S. McGregor, CFA

Portfolio Manager

Robert A. Taylor, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakgx@oakmark.com

The September quarter produced strong equity outcomes across most world markets. The Oakmark Global Fund participated in this rally, gaining 11%. The MSCI World Index11 returned 8%, and the Lipper Global Fund Index12 returned 8%. The Fund's return for the calendar nine months is 26%, compared to the 17% return for the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Fund Index. For the Global Fund's fiscal year ended September 30 the returns are 40% for the Fund, 20% for the MSCI World Index, and 22% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. As always, we are most pleased to report the Fund's 12% compound annualized rate of return since inception, which compares to 4% for the MSCI World Index and 5% for the Lipper Global Fund Index for the same period.

The countries that contributed most to the Fund's quarter return were the U.S., Switzerland, and Japan. Australia was the only country to have equities that detracted from the Fund's return in the quarter. The five largest contributors to the Fund's return in the quarter were Daimler (Germany), Julius Baer (Switzerland), Cimarex Energy (U.S.), Credit Suisse (Switzerland) and MasterCard (U.S.). The Fund holdings that detracted most were Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), Incitec Pivot (Australia), Intel (U.S.), Bank of America (U.S. new purchase) and Canon (Japan).

For the calendar nine months the highest contributing countries were the U.S., Japan and Switzerland. Holdings in both Spain and Australia detracted from nine-month return. Daiwa Securities Group (Japan), Daimler, Live Nation (U.S.), MasterCard and Julius Baer were the leading contributors. Incitec Pivot, Canon, Banco Santander (Spain), Bank of America and Apache (U.S.) detracted most from the nine-month return. For the Fund's fiscal year the U.S., Japan and Switzerland were again the leading contributors to return while Australia was the only detractor. The five companies that led the contributors list were Daiwa Securities Group, Daimler, Tenet Healthcare, Credit Suisse and MasterCard. Detractors were Incitec Pivot, Square Enix (Japan), Apache, Bank of America and Franklin Resources (U.S. new purchase).

Portfolio Activity

Although equity markets moved higher in the quarter, we found opportunities to make new additions to the Fund, adding three U.S. and two European holdings. The first name alphabetically is Bank of America. For years, Bank of America was the poster child for all that was troubling about banks. But like the industry as a whole, we believe Bank of America has made tremendous progress simplifying and "de-risking" its business. For instance, in just the past few quarters it has gone from being one of the worst capitalized big banks to one of the best. (For perspective, the company's tangible common equity ratio is 64% higher than it was in 2006, which was before the crisis). Management also took advantage of lowered investor expectations as an opportunity to invest heavily in systems technology and rationalization. Investors have rewarded the company for

its progress and brought the stock up from its lows. However, it is still being valued at a sizeable discount to its peers. In our view, the discount derives both from stale perceptions of the relative risk profile, but also because Bank of America's near-term earnings are more depressed than its peers. We expect this discount to close with time, as investors reevaluate the "new" Bank of America and its profitability catches up.

Our second new purchase is Franklin Resources, an investment firm that manages a family of more than 300 mutual funds under the names Franklin, Templeton and Fiduciary Trust, among others. The funds invest internationally and domestically in equities, fixed income and money market instruments. Franklin Resources also offers separately managed accounts and insurance product funds. Franklin Resources has an excellent brand name and a well-established global network, with a presence in over 17 international markets. The company has deliberately built this international presence over decades, and we believe this provides, and will continue to provide, a distinct competitive advantage. In addition, management has historically returned capital to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends, and we expect Franklin Resources to continue to be good stewards of shareholders' capital.

Next is Fugro, a Netherlands-domiciled geological engineering company that primarily serves the off-shore oil market. Much of Fugro's value—about 85%—comes from businesses that are tied to construction or production related to the off-shore oil market. Investors are attracted to this market because it is growing at nearly a double-digit rate, and Fugro controls very high market shares in many of its businesses. That said, the other 15% of Fugro's value comes from Geoscience, which is not nearly as attractive. Fugro essentially operates ships that take seismic pictures of the ocean floor. This business is capital intensive (ships and cameras), and its returns are erratic, like a commodity's (because it depends on exploration demand). While this "lumpiness" can cause short-term earnings to fluctuate greatly, in our view, it does not affect long-term business value. We have taken advantage of this volatility—and other investors' shortsightedness—and initiated a position during the quarter when Fugro's share price fell after missing Street guidance.

Long-term holders of the Global Fund may remember us buying Holcim (Switzerland) in late 2010. We sold it only one year later, an unusually short holding period relative to our normal three- to five-year holding period. We did not sell because of a change in our investment thesis about Holcim. Instead, our other holdings were not doing as well. Many Japanese names were hurt by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 and the Thai floods in the Fall of 2011. In addition, many of our European names also fared poorly in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 as markets feared the break-up of the Euro. We sold Holcim so that we could purchase other positions that offered greater share appreciation potential.

Oakmark Global Fund  September 30, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Looking back, these trades worked in our favor. Since the sale of Holcim, the Global Fund appreciated almost 50%, while Holcim appreciated less than 30%. During the past quarter we started buying Holcim at a price that was only 7% higher than our previous average cost, while our estimate of intrinsic value increased more than 10%. This makes Holcim absolutely and relatively more attractive now than when we purchased it in 2010.

As a refresher, Switzerland-based Holcim is one of the world's largest cement makers. The company has a broad geographic spread, with more than 70% of its pre-tax profits originating in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia and Africa. We think the company will thrive in these emerging economies and will gain from development in these areas. In addition, recent consolidations in the cement sector have strengthened the company's market position. Holcim's cost-reduction plan, which includes a restructuring plan in India to improve the cost base, is on track for 2014, and we believe its expected benefits have not yet been reflected in the stock price and that demand for cement will increase over the medium term.

Returning to the U.S., our last new purchase was shares of Itron, a global supplier of metering products and services for electric, natural gas and water utilities. Its product portfolio includes traditional, standard (manual-read) meters as well as radio- and telephone-based automatic meter-reading systems, handheld meter-reading computers, smart meters and meter data acquisition and analysis software. Approximately 8,000 customers in more than 100 countries use its products and services. We believe that Itron is poised to benefit from a wave of spending in the coming years, as utilities around the globe continue to upgrade approximately 2.5 billion outdated meters to more advanced meters, which are capable of automated readings and two-way communication. The company generates strong free cash flow given the minimal capital needed to run the business, and we think its leading market position is protected by large R&D investments, customer switching costs and solid brand value.

There were two full eliminations from the portfolio. The first was Rohm, a Japanese semiconductor company, which was sold to help fund more attractive holdings. The second was International Flavors & Fragrances, which, despite its name, is a U.S.-domiciled concern. As IFF's shares approached our sell target, we sold it in order to help fund new purchases. We salute IFF management for their excellent stewardship of the company during the Fund's three-and-a-half years of ownership.

Applied Materials/Tokyo Electron

Late in the quarter Applied Materials, one of our holdings, announced that it would merge with Tokyo Electron in an all-stock transaction. Mergers of American and Japanese firms are quite unusual, but this one developed in part because of the two CEO's long-term friendship. Applied's CEO will become the combined company's leader and will move to Japan to help the deal progress. Both companies make semiconductor manufacturing equipment, but their products primarily overlap rather than directly compete. The deal also offers cost synergies and tax management possibilities.

If the merger takes place and semiconductor demand begins to pick up, the combined company should be very well positioned to benefit. Alternatively, should sales remain sluggish, we believe that Applied's management team can introduce produc-

tive cost-reduction measures at Tokyo Electron to boost profits. But perhaps most importantly, we think this transaction suggests ever greater possibilities for worldwide economic consolidation and integration, which can enhance productive economic growth and expansion.

Currency Hedges

Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter, but we continue to believe some currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedge a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 38% of the Australian dollar, 25% of the Swiss franc and 15% of the Japanese yen were hedged at quarter-end.

As always, we thank you for being our shareholders and partners in the Oakmark Global Fund. We look forward to your questions and comments.

Oakmark Global Select Fund  September 30, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, outperforming the 8% return from the MSCI World Index11. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Fund returned 38%, significantly outperforming the MSCI World Index, which returned 20%.

Daiwa Securities Group, Japan's second-largest broker, was the top contributor to performance over the past 12 months, returning 139%. As discussed in previous letters, Daiwa has benefitted from the Japanese stock market rally and the weakened yen that followed talks of economic reform. Daiwa's fiscal 2012 results were very strong: net operating revenues increased by 24% while operating costs decreased by 7%. The most recent quarterly numbers also exceeded our expectations. The retail business achieved operating margins around 50%, and the quarter's EBIT was more than half of what we estimated for Daiwa's entire fiscal year. Although Daiwa's stock price has almost tripled over the past year, we continue to believe the company's stock has significant upside and will remain a good investment for our shareholders.

Another top contributor for the year was Daimler, the global auto manufacturer of the Mercedes brand, which returned 67%. Shares reacted positively to the company's 2012 results, which included higher profits than we expected for the company's Mercedes-Benz Car and Truck divisions. More recently Daimler announced significantly improved earnings and net profits for the second quarter of 2013. In addition, sales of Mercedes-Benz cars increased in all markets, driving unit sales to a new record. Although Mercedes continues to underperform Audi and BMW in China, we expect an increase in growth from its new model launches, new organizational structure, and 75 new dealerships by year end. The Trucks division has also performed well, led by a significant rebound in Latin American unit sales, which increased by 57%. Daimler management remains upbeat about global operations and reiterated the full-year guidance for all divisions.

The biggest detractor from performance for the year was Cenovus, a Canadian-based oil company, which declined 17% before we sold our position in August of this year. Our business value estimate for Cenovus fell more than the stock price after we incorporated a lower futures oil price into our model. At the same time, the share price of DirecTV, a U.S. digital television entertainment provider, fell in response to weak quarterly results, which did not affect our estimate of intrinsic value. The divergence between the two stocks was enough to tip the balance in favor of owning DirecTV, and we harvested a small tax loss by selling Cenovus. In our view, DirecTV's shift in focus to higher-end customers has led to slower but more profitable growth. Management is focused on building shareholder value by returning cash to shareholders. Over the past five years DirecTV has aggressively repurchased shares and has reduced its outstanding shares by almost 50%. We are happy to see growth

in value per share whether it comes from a growing numerator or a shrinking denominator.

In addition to the sale mentioned above we sold our shares of Toyota Motor during the quarter. You will see a new security held in the Fund, CNH Industrial. This is a result of a merger between Fiat Industrial, which was owned by the Fund, and CNH Global. Fiat owned 88% of publicly listed CNH, and to simplify the shareholder structure, it decided to fully consolidate and merge the two companies. The merger is expected to result in financial, cost and tax savings. CNH Industrial is now domiciled in the Netherlands rather than Italy.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with our European and Japanese holdings comprising 42% and 12% of the Fund, respectively. North America accounts for the remainder of the Fund's holdings.

We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued, and we are defensively hedging the Fund's currency exposure. As of quarter end, approximately 25% of the Swiss franc and 7% of the Japanese yen exposures were hedged.

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

30 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark International Fund  September 30, 2013

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund returned 41% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, comparing favorably to the MSCI World ex U.S. Index13, which returned 21%. For the most recent quarter the Fund outperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, returning 13% versus 11%. The Fund has returned an average of 11% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 7% per year over the same period.

Daiwa Securities Group, Japan's second-largest broker, was the top contributor to performance over the past 12 months, returning 139%. As discussed in previous letters, Daiwa has benefitted from the Japanese stock market rally and the weakened yen that followed talks of economic reform. Daiwa's fiscal 2012 results were very strong: net operating revenues increased by 24% while operating costs decreased by 7%. The most recent quarterly numbers also exceeded our expectations. The retail business achieved operating margins around 50%, and the quarter's EBIT was more than half of what we estimated for Daiwa's entire fiscal year. Although Daiwa's stock price has almost tripled over the past year, we continue to believe the company's stock has significant upside and will remain a good investment for our shareholders.

Another top contributor was Lloyd's Banking Group, the dominant retail bank in the U.K., which returned 90% over the past twelve months. Over the past year Lloyd's has removed substantial amounts of risk from its balance sheet, and it is disposing of its non-core assets ahead of expectations. Lloyd's is projected to have less than 70 billion pounds in non-core assets and a Core Tier 1 of greater than 10% by the end of 2013, a year ahead of previous guidance. During the first half of 2013, Lloyd's core expenses were down 3%, compared to the first half of 2012, and management anticipates further cost savings. Lloyd's loan book quality has also improved due to a decline in non-performing loans. We are encouraged by Lloyd's strengthening balance sheet and believe it is well positioned for the future.

The largest detractor from performance over the past twelve months was Orica, an Australian mining-services company, which declined 24%. Shares reacted negatively to the news that the company's net profit in fiscal year 2013 would not meet expectations. Much of this was due to macro weakness and a weaker commodity environment, but numerous isolated incidents also contributed. Minova, the company's ground support business, which generated A$109m in EBIT last year, is only expected to breakeven on an EBIT basis due to restructuring, two isolated customer issues and a dispute with a supplier. Indonesia operations will suffer due to two large customers temporarily suspending operations, as well as a more difficult competitive environment. Finally, slower than expected growth will impact the Australian business. We believe many of these issues are one-off in nature and are likely to reverse next year. Synergy gains from integrating Minova with the rest of the business,

continued growth in Australia, and weakening of the Australian dollar should significantly boost Orica's earnings growth in fiscal year 2014.

There was a lot of portfolio activity during the past quarter—we sold our positions in ASSA ABLOY, Amcor, Bank of Ireland, Grupo Televisa and Roche. We added four new names to the Fund: Pernod Ricard, the second largest worldwide producer of spirits; Samsung Electronics, a consumer and industrial electronics manufacturer; Sanofi, a pharmaceutical company; and WPP, a leading advertising and communications services company.

Geographically we ended the quarter with 78% of our holdings in Europe, 14% in Japan and 5% in Australia. The remaining positions are in North America (Canada), South Korea and the Middle East (Israel).

We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedge a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 35% of the Australian dollar, 29% of the Swedish krona, 24% of the Swiss franc and 7% of the Japanese yen were hedged at quarter-end

We continue to adhere to a long-term value philosophy that has enabled us to build a portfolio of high quality names trading at discounts to our estimate of intrinsic value. We thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support.

36 THE OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark International Small Cap Fund  September 30, 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 15.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, in line with a 15.0% return from the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index16. For the fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund returned 34%, significantly outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index, which returned 25%.

The top-performing stock for the one-year period and a strong contributor for the recent quarter was LSL Property Services, one of the U.K.'s largest residential estate agency and property appraisal companies. There is increasing optimism in the U.K. over a potential recovery in the residential housing market, where transactions are off nearly 60% since the '06 peak. In early 2014, the U.K. government is expected to implement its "help to buy" program. Although other government programs have been implemented in the past to support the residential housing market, "help to buy" appears to be different because of its large scale and because it will benefit purchasers of existing homes, as opposed to previous programs that targeted new homes. Even though the program is not yet in effect, banks seem increasingly willing to make mortgage loans, as reflected in the double-digit year-over-year increase in mortgage approvals in May and June. We believe the U.K. residential market is in the early stages of recovery and that LSL will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this trend.

The weakening yen and market rally in Japan benefitted Yamaha Motor, another top performer in the Fund for fiscal year 2013. Yamaha is a world leader in producing motorcycles and recreational vehicles, and it also produces motor vehicle engines for Toyota Motor Corp. and Ford Motor Co. The company's specialty products include motor boats, snowmobiles, golf carts and electric power generators. Yamaha sells its products globally, including in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia and South America. Yamaha's first-quarter financial statements showed that its best results came from its marine segment, driven by all product areas: outboard motors, personal watercraft, boats and parts. The company's core motorcycles unit produced the weakest performance. However, we believe positive trends are emerging, including a stabilizing Indonesian market, as evidenced by a growth in Yamaha's Asian motorcycle sales and improved sales volumes month over month.

Incitec Pivot was the largest detractor from performance for the fiscal year and also a detractor for the quarter. Incitec supplies mining explosives products and services in Australasia and North America, and it is also Australia's largest fertilizer distributor and only phosphate fertilizer manufacturer. Fertilizer prices fell significantly over the period, which caused investors to lower earnings estimates for the company. However, we believe this simply reflects a move towards a more normal pricing environment. Also, in July, Incitec experienced a production outage at its Phosphate Hill ammonia plant. Management indicated that the outage would reduce production of ammonium

phosphates during the second half of the year, estimating an earnings impact around $23.5 million (USD) after tax. This setback, combined with a production disruption at the new Moranbah explosives plant, caused investors to worry about near-term consequences for the company. Although these issues occurred in close succession, we believe that both were one-off events and that the company resolved them relatively quickly. Based on our research and discussions with management, we believe that outside of the difficulties at these two plants, the rest of Incitec's plants are operating well. The company is enacting a number of improvements that should help prevent such problems in the future, including changes of operations management and in the way that the engineering and operations groups interact. We remain confident in Incitec Pivot's management team, and we continue to believe that this investment will reward shareholders in the long term.

Four new securities were added to the Fund this quarter. From Brazil, Totvs, a developer and marketer of software solutions; Wajax, a Canadian multiline distributor active in the sale and service of mobile equipment, power systems and industrial components; Italy-based Davide Campari, the sixth largest spirits company in the world; and Sulzer, a Swiss company specializing in industrial machinery and equipment, surface technology and rotating equipment maintenance. We sold Britvic, Konica Minolta and Ichiyoshi Securities during the quarter.

Geographically we ended the quarter with 23% of our holdings in Asia, 61% in Europe and 11% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America, Latin America and the Middle East.

Because we continue to believe that some global currencies are over-valued, we maintained hedge positions on five currency exposures. At the recent quarter end, we had hedged 35% of the Fund's Australian dollar, 51% of the Norwegian krone, 25% of the Swiss franc, 7% of the Japanese yen and 30% of the Swedish krona exposures.

We believe the Fund is positioned to perform well in a variety of market climates. Thank you for investing alongside us.

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 year ended September 30, 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.

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)

oakmark.com 51



The Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 September 30, 2013 Equity and Income had a transfer from level 2 to level 1 in the amount of $484,144,560. 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 September 30, 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.

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.

At September 30, 2013 Global, Global Select, International, and Int'l Small Cap held forward foreign currency contracts, which are considered derivative instruments, each of whose counterparty is State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), as follows (in thousands):

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. 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 September 30, 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 year ended September 30, 2013.

Committed line of credit—

The Trust has an unsecured committed line of credit (the "Facility") with 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 year ended September 30, 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 year ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2013 none of the Funds had securities on loan.

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, 2013 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 September 30, 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

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 of Trustees. 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.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses arising in taxable years after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. At September 30, 2013 the Funds had pre-enactment and post-enactment net capital losses for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following table (in thousands):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of Harris
Associates Investment Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Harris Associates Investment Trust, comprised of Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund, Oakmark International Fund, and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund (collectively the "Funds"), as of September 30, 2013, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2013, by correspondence with the Funds' custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

(a) Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that applies to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.

 

(b) No disclosures are required by this Item 2(b).

 

(c) During the period covered by the report, no amendments were made to the provisions of the Code.

 

(d) During the period covered by the report, Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from the provisions of the Code.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

(f) A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.  Copies of the Code will also be made available free of charge upon request, by writing or calling The Oakmark Funds, P.O. Box 8510, Boston, MA 02266-8510, 1-800-OAKMARK, (1-800-625-6275).

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

Registrant’s board of trustees has determined that each of the following members of the Registrant’s audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Instruction 2(b) to Item 3 of Form N-CSR:  Christine M. Maki, Stephen S. Rogers, Burton W. Ruder and Peter S. Voss.  Each of those members of Registrant’s audit committee is “independent” as such term is defined in paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

 

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of trustees.

 



 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

Aggregate fees billed to the Registrant for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the Registrant’s audit committee will pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by the principal accountants of the Registrant.  The audit committee has authorized its chair to exercise that authority in the intervals between meetings; and the chair presents any such pre-approvals to the audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.  Under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, pre-approval of non-audit services may be waived provided that: 1) the aggregate amount for all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Registrant to its principal accountant during the fiscal year in which such services are provided; 2) such services were not recognized by management at the time of engagement as non-audit services; and 3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Registrant’s audit committee by management and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the audit committee or by one or more members of the audit committee who are members of the board of trustees to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the audit committee.

 

No audit-related, tax or non-audit services were approved by waiver pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 


(1)              “Audit Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

 

(2)              “Audit-Related Fees” include amounts for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements.

 

(3)              “Tax Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, specifically distribution consultation.

 

(4)              “All Other Fees” include amounts for products and services provided by the principal accountant.

 



 

Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

 

The aggregate non-audit fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 by the Registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, its investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant were $124,421 and $0, respectively. These non-audit services provided to the Registrant by the principal accountant related to clerical and ministerial tasks for the filing of tax reclaims in certain European Union countries.

 

The audit committee of Registrant’s board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by Registrant’s principal accountant to Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Investments.

 

(a) The Schedule of Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers as of the close of the reporting period is included as part of the annual report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

 

(b) No disclosures are required by this Item 6(b).

 

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8.  Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

 

Not applicable.

 



 

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

During the period covered by this report, no material changes were made to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees that were adopted in fiscal year 2004.

 

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Based on an evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the “Disclosure Controls”), the Disclosure Controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this report is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the time period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 12. Exhibits.

 

(a)(1)                  Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers (as referenced in Item 2 above), attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1).

 

(2)                 Certifications of Kristi L. Rowsell, Principal Executive Officer, and Thomas E. Herman, Principal Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 30a-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-2), attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii).

 

(3)                 Not applicable.

 

(b)                                 Certification of Kristi L. Rowsell, Principal Executive Officer, and Thomas E. Herman, Principal Financial Officer, pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, attached hereto as Exhibit (b).
