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.

President's Letter

Kristi L. Rowsell
President of Oakmark Funds
President of Harris Associates L.P.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Divergent equity market returns marked 2014. U.S. markets continued their six-year climb while foreign market returns were mixed, with most declining in U.S. dollar terms. The global bond market was strong in 2014, as benchmark interest rates ended the year lower than many had expected. As we enter the new year, we continue to believe that the companies we own represent good value and that a meaningful allocation to equities is an important component of long-term wealth creation.

Oakmark Account Access Site

We are pleased to announce that we have released an upgrade to the shareholder Account Access site on oakmark.com. The site has been redesigned to better serve shareholders who hold their accounts directly with the Funds' transfer agent and interact through oakmark.com or with a service representative at 1-800-OAKMARK. We think the new design and improved navigation are now much more intuitive, allowing you to quickly evaluate your investments and efficiently execute desired transactions. Shareholders owning more than one Fund will enjoy the new Portfolio Summary, which displays accounts either by registration or by Fund, whichever users choose. The opening page will also allow shareholders to initiate most actions from a standard banner with one-click navigation, and this navigational format is consistent throughout the site. We have also enhanced the security provisions. Upon logging in for the first time, you will be asked to establish three security questions and answers, which will then be used to verify your identity. Congratulations to our Mutual Fund Services team for a job well done.

Personal Investments in the Funds

At the end of each year, we update our shareholders on the level of investment in the Oakmark Funds by Harris Associates personnel and Oakmark trustees. We think this demonstrates our commitment to shareholders and exemplifies the conviction behind our investing philosophy. When we evaluate companies for potential investment, we look for management teams with high levels of personal stock ownership. We believe that managers who have tied their wealth directly to their company's stock show that their interests are aligned with their investors. You should take comfort that we apply the same principle internally at Harris Associates. When we buy a company for investment, it's being added to Funds in which we have personal assets—put simply, our personal assets move in tandem with our shareholders' assets. Plus, we experience first-hand the same tax consequences and service levels as our shareholders. Managers who personally invest in their own funds help reinforce the foundation for good long-term stewardship.

We are proud to report that, as of December 31, 2014, the value of Oakmark Funds owned by the employees of Harris Associates, our families and the Funds' officers and trustees was more than $435 million. Sharing this information attests to our personal conviction that our Funds remain attractive investments for the future.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Oakmark Funds. As always, you can reach us via email at ContactOakmark@oakmark.com.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

"It's one of the most frustrating aspects of mutual fund investing: paying capital gains taxes when you haven't sold a single share."

-Beverly Goodman, Barron's December 13, 2014 "Fund Investors Get Hit With Surprising Capital Gains"

Like much of the mutual fund industry, our Oakmark Funds had higher than normal capital gains distributions in 2014. Going into year six of the market advance, there just weren't many losses left to offset the gains realized on stocks we sold. The Oakmark Select Fund, with a distribution of 12% of its value, unfortunately made some lists of tax-unfriendly funds due to its double-digit distribution. Oakmark Select's 2014 performance benefited from three mergers: DirecTV being acquired by AT&T, Forest Laboratories by Actavis and TRW Automotive Holdings by ZF Friedrichshafen. A year ago those three acquirees accounted for 18% of the Oakmark Select portfolio, and their sales accounted for the majority of our gains. Unless we wanted to hold stock in the acquiring companies, there simply wasn't a good way to avoid recognizing those taxable gains. But given the disconnect between our large distributions this year and our claims to be a tax-sensitive fund family, an explanation might be helpful.

Mutual funds are one of the only securities that require owners to pay capital gains before they sell their shares. Every mutual fund annually has to total up the capital gains it realized during the year and distribute the net gain proportionately to its shareholders. The shareholders are taxed currently on that gain despite not selling their shares. When a shareholder does eventually sell, the gain on sale is reduced by the amount of the gains recognized each year that the shares were held. In the end, capital gains taxes are paid on the exact amount of the total gain, but some of that gain was "prepaid" via the annual taxable distributions.

As an aside, I believe mutual funds present a great opportunity for tax simplification. Given that many investors now have a short-term outlook (most Oakmark investors aside, thankfully), the value to the government of the "prepayment" is trivial relative to the record-keeping costs it generates. Taxing fund shareholders only when they sell shares would cost the government next to nothing, reduce administrative expenses and encourage fund investors to improve their own performance by reducing their turnover. But alas, for now the rules are what they are.

At Oakmark our goals are to maximize long-term returns and—more specifically—to take every reasonable opportunity to maximize after-tax returns when those actions don't harm our tax-free shareholders. Some funds that claim to be "tax-efficient" focus so much on minimizing taxes that they also inadvertently reduce their returns. We want to minimize

the hole in the donut that is lost to taxes, but do so without reducing the size of the donut.

One of the most obvious ways we reduce shareholders' tax burden is by using our long-term approach, which typically produces long-term gains. For most individuals long-term capital gains are taxed at less than half the rate paid on short-term gains. Based on distributions paid last year, over 20% of the average mutual fund capital gain distribution was short-term gain. The Oakmark Fund has paid out nearly $15 per share in gains since 2000. Of that, only $0.08 was short-term gain, about half of one percent. Since its inception in 1996, Oakmark Select has distributed $0.56 of short-term gain, a little over 2% of total gains. When our stocks appreciate quickly and hit sell targets before we've held them for a full year, unless we see unusually high risk in continuing to hold, we will generally wait to sell until our holding period exceeds one year so that we get the less expensive long-term gain rate. You might wonder why our Global Select Fund would keep such a small position in Medtronic. The answer is that we have a nice gain in those shares and that they have not yet turned long-term.

In some cases when a company gets a stock acquisition offer—as one of our holdings, Forest Laboratories, did earlier this year—we protect the gain while we wait for shares to turn long-term by selling shares of the acquirer short. Mutual funds generally don't engage in short sales because they are perceived to be higher risk, but in this case, we believe the short sale both reduces taxes and risk.

We also capture tax losses to net against our gains. We look at our holdings by tax lot and will routinely sell any individual tax lot that has a loss of 20% or more. Many value funds don't take this step because value investors typically believe stocks that have gone down in price have become more attractive. Though we often agree, when we have a loss to capture, we will either sell some shares immediately and repurchase in 31 days (to avoid wash sales rules) or buy more immediately and sell those shares in 31 days. We do this throughout the year, which allows us to maintain our core positions in the stocks we believe are most attractive while still capturing losses and reducing our net gain. Further, we believe this benefit to our taxable shareholders has been achieved without harming our tax-free holders. So when you see our portfolio turnover spike, as when the Oakmark Fund's hit 62% in the 2009 turmoil, check to see if we might be engaging in tax-loss selling before you conclude we've abandoned our long-term approach.

Another way we seek to capture losses is to replace losing stocks with similar, but equally attractive, stocks. An example in the Oakmark Fund from this past quarter was selling our remaining Cenovus shares and redeploying the proceeds into Chesapeake. We believe Cenovus is a fine, well-managed company, but due

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

to rapidly declining oil prices, it had fallen beneath our purchase price. Another company we believed was also fine and well-managed, Chesapeake, had fallen to a price where it appeared to us to be more attractive than Cenovus. So even though Cenovus was far beneath our sell target, we captured the loss, increased our exposure to an energy sector we thought was cheap and switched to a stock we believed was somewhat more attractive.

When Kevin Grant and I started managing the Oakmark Fund in 2000, we inherited a portfolio full of cheap stocks that had been left behind in the Internet boom. Because the Fund had suffered heavy redemptions, the portfolio had fewer positions in it than we thought was appropriate, especially given how many other stocks were also priced inexpensively. So we sold the high-cost tax lots from each position and reinvested in other cheap stocks. The resulting capital loss carry forward allowed us to fully shelter our gains until a distribution was finally required in 2006.

Making sure almost all of our gains are long-term before we realize them actually reduces the total amount of tax our shareholders pay. The other steps—tax trading around a core position, swapping loss positions into stocks with similar exposures, as well as transactions involving short sales, stock options, merger arbitrage and exchanges of similar securities—simply delay the tax, deferring as much tax as possible until the time the shareholders sell their position in the fund. We go to these lengths because we believe there is a lot of value gained from compounding returns on that deferred tax.

So when you see a large capital gains distribution from an Oakmark Fund, first, realize it might be a good thing. We only make distributions when we've made money on our holdings. But also realize we've tried to do everything we reasonably can to minimize that distribution without decreasing your actual gain. And if you have a spare minute, contact your representatives to suggest a very sensible tax reform!

All of us at Oakmark thank you for your investment, and wish you and your family a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015.

Oakmark Fund  December 31, 2014

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

Kevin Grant, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Fund increased 4% during the fourth quarter of 2014, bringing the gain for the calendar year to 12%. These results lagged slightly behind the S&P 5001, which was up 5% for the quarter and up 14% for the calendar year. Although the Fund slightly trailed the strong performance of the S&P 500 for the quarter and the year, we are pleased with its double-digit gain for the year and strong cumulative results over the past three years.

As we have written in the past, we believe the financial and information technology sectors are among the most attractive, and investments in these areas represent over half of the Fund's equity holdings. These sectors were among the top three contributors for Fund performance for the calendar year. Our great team of research analysts continues to find attractive new investment ideas, and over the past 12 months we added 14 new names to the portfolio. We continue to look for companies that have strong balance sheets and generate a lot of free cash flow, that have management teams that invest capital to maximize per-share value and that sell at a discount to our estimate of fair value. During the quarter, we added new positions in Chesapeake Energy and General Electric (see below). We eliminated positions in Baxter International, Cenovus Energy, Covidien and Kohl's.

Our biggest contributing sectors for the fourth quarter were information technology and financials, and with a substantial decline in oil prices during the quarter, energy was our worst performing sector. As with all of our holdings, we take a long-term view of our investments in the energy sector, so while stock prices have fallen precipitously in reaction to higher volatility in spot oil prices, we remain focused on less volatile long-term oil prices, which are set more by supply and demand fundamentals than by financial speculation. In the information technology sector, it is interesting to note that "old-line" technology companies with strong cash flow and re-invigorated cloud offerings made a positive comeback in 2014. Intel, Apple, Microsoft and Oracle were among the Oakmark Fund's top 12 contributors for the calendar year, gaining on average 33%. The Fund's highest contributors for the quarter were Visa, MasterCard and Oracle, and our worst performers were Apache, Halliburton and Sanofi.

Chesapeake Energy (CHK-$19.57)

Chesapeake Energy is one of the largest oil and natural gas producers in the United States. The company has a storied history. Since its founding in 1989, it grew rapidly by acquiring acreage positions across North America's largest resource plays. In our view, this growth left the company flush with high-quality assets, but financially overextended and operationally inefficient. During the past two years, the board of directors and the executive management team were replaced with new,

shareholder-oriented leaders. This team began overhauling Chesapeake quickly by reducing leverage, simplifying the company's financial structure and refocusing capital allocation on the highest return uses. In the past 18 months, Chesapeake has managed to spin off its non-core oilfield services business, sell billions of dollars of assets to reduce leverage, cut its capital spending budget by two-thirds and reduce general and administrative expenses by half. We believe these actions show that management's focus has shifted away from acreage growth and toward maximizing shareholder returns. Chesapeake's shares are trading at less than the company's book value and at just 11x earnings per share. We see this as a bargain price for such high quality oil and gas assets run by what we believe is a strong, shareholder-friendly management team.

General Electric (GE-$25.27)

General Electric is a company with businesses we have always admired, but we have questioned management's focus on returns when making capital allocation decisions. However, the appointment of a new CFO in mid-2013 ushered in significant changes. Since then, GE has, in our view, acquired assets cheaply (Alstom) and sold assets at good prices (Synchrony and its appliances division). In 2015 the company plans to totally revamp its variable compensation plan for thousands of employees, emphasizing factors that drive return on invested capital5, which should boost future results. We believe there is substantial opportunity to improve gross margins, and the stock trades for just under a market multiple on 2016 earnings. Some investors may have a stale opinion of GE after the past 15 years of persistent underperformance, but we believe it's a good investment at the current price.

Oakmark Select Fund  December 31, 2014

The Oakmark Select Fund increased 3% for the quarter, compared to 5% for the S&P 500 Index1. For all of calendar 2014, the Oakmark Select Fund returned 15%, compared to 14% for the S&P 500. We're always happy to produce a return for our shareholders in excess of the S&P 500, an achievement which proved particularly challenging for many investors in 2014; this modest outperformance ranked the Fund in the 6th percentile of its Morningstar peer group7.

Our portfolio has been heavily invested in information technology and financial services stocks, and these sectors provided our four largest positive contributors to Fund performance in the quarter: MasterCard, Oracle, FNF Group, and TE Connectivity. Our intrinsic value estimates for these companies are still comfortably in excess of their current market values, and we believe they still merit inclusion in the portfolio.

Our worst quarterly performer by far was Apache, down 33%, as oil prices fell dramatically. No other stock in the Fund declined even 10% this quarter. Our assessment of Apache's business value is based upon a long-term normal oil price in the mid-$70's, and while a decline in near-term commodity prices reduced our estimate of value due to lost interim cash flows, the stock market's punishment of the stock has significantly exceeded what we think is the true change in the company's underlying business value. We remain confident that Apache's management team is properly thinking about the ways to increase the per-share value of the company, as evidenced by the continued sale of international assets at prices near our estimate of intrinsic value, with proceeds used to purchase undervalued Apache stock. We took advantage of the stock's sell-off to add to our position.

As the price of many energy-related equities has fallen, their attractiveness has increased. As such, our one new position in the Fund this quarter is Chesapeake Energy, an energy exploration and production company. We believe the company's prior management team left the business flush with high-quality assets, but financially overextended and operationally inefficient. Over the past two years, the board of directors and executive management team were replaced with new, shareholder-oriented leaders. This new team quickly began overhauling Chesapeake by reducing leverage, simplifying the company's financial structure, and refocusing capital allocation on the highest return uses. Chesapeake's shares are trading at less than the company's book value and at a big discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. We see this as a bargain price for such high-quality oil and gas assets run by what we believe is a shareholder-friendly management team.

During the quarter, we eliminated our TRW Automotive Holdings position, which was trading at full valuation due to its pending acquisition by ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a deal discussed at length in Bill Nygren's 3Q14 Market Commentary piece.

Thank you for your continued investment in our Fund, and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2015.

Another Strong December Quarter and Year

One year ago we began our report reviewing 2013's exceptional market returns. We noted that although commentators had begun to use words such as "bubble" to describe the equity market, the historical record was surprisingly positive for years that followed +30% years. And "surprisingly positive" is how 2014 turned out, although not without its bouts of downside volatility, two of which unsettled investors late in the year.

The Equity and Income Fund earned 4% in the quarter, which contrasts to a 2% gain for the Lipper Balanced Funds Index8, the Fund's performance benchmark. For calendar 2014 the returns for both the Fund and the Lipper Index were 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%.

Oracle, CVS Health, UnitedHealth Group, TE Connectivity and MasterCard Class A were the largest contributors to return in the quarter. The largest detractors were National Oilwell Varco, Ultra Petroleum, Dover, Glencore and Baker Hughes. We doubt that anyone will be surprised to see that energy stocks dominated the detractors list. Detractors from return for the year were General Motors, Glencore, Diageo, Dover and Ultra Petroleum. The largest contributors to annual portfolio return were General Dynamics (sold), United Health Group, CVS Health, Union Pacific and Oracle.

Loser's Game?

The Financial Times'10 always interesting John Authers used the title above (without the question mark) for an extensive December 21, 2014 article. In this piece he describes how difficult it has been since 2009 for U.S. active managers to beat their benchmarks. He also writes that investors have persistently shifted assets from active managers to passive index funds over this period (which itself tends to exacerbate the relative performance problem). Authers goes on to quote Amin Rajan of U.K. consultancy Create, who argues, "The more money that goes into passive, the more they (index funds) will become dumb." Rajan believes that indexing helps to fuel investment bubbles because new money flowing into such funds is automatically allocated to the companies with the highest market value.

We agree with the arguments in this article, as far as they go. Our problem with this discussion, however, is that we believe that it mischaracterizes the fundamental investment problem for individual investors. Here is our view. Few investors in mutual funds actually have a need to "beat the market." To most, the market is an abstraction with which they have little personal connection. Instead, most investors desire that their

capital grow in real value over time, produce cash flows that can help them meet their personal lifestyle needs and to do all of this in a manner that does not offend their sensibilities. It may be that one can find investors who simply wish to participate in the broader economy in a manner that index funds represent, and for them the passive approach makes good sense. But others need to have their personal economic requirements met over time, and to that end they need to develop an investment portfolio that marries their own character attributes with their investing goals. And, the degree to which they can tolerate volatility is often the most important personal character attribute. Again and again we hear of investors who have not returned to equities since 2009 because of the losses that they suffered in that downturn. If their personal portfolios had been allocated according to their actual risk tolerance, they likely would not have missed out on the rally since then.

As we manage the Equity and Income Fund, we have no explicit goal of beating the market. Rather, our goal is to construct a portfolio that produces income and growth sufficient to meet the needs of the Fund's investors, and for the pattern of returns to be one which does not overly stress those investors. Ideally this means positive rates of return with low volatility. We do not always succeed, as 2008 amply demonstrated. Of course, to some observers the Equity and Income Fund's 2008 outcome was successful in that it "outperformed" most similar funds. To actual clients, however, such a relative victory was hollow at best—no one can support their lifestyle with such victories. Nevertheless, in the Fund's 19-year history 2008 stands out as the only significant loss year, and it is our job as portfolio managers to keep it that way.

Investors should also never forget that we invest the Fund according to the tenets of our value investing philosophy. Very simplistically, we look to purchase equities selling cheaply relative to our estimate of their intrinsic value and to build out the portfolio with bonds that enhance income and reduce volatility. Someone who does not find the core idea of value investing compelling may find it hard to stick with the Fund in times when value investing is out of favor.

As we have often written, we believe that the most important consideration for investors is that they attempt to know themselves, especially to understand how they may react under stress, because securities markets will often produce significant stress. So we conclude that the true "Loser's Game" is not active management per se, but for someone to invest in a manner that is not aligned with who they are.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund  December 31, 2014

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Transaction Activity

One year ago we wrote that stock market strength meant that more of the Fund's holdings were approaching their sell targets while it was becoming more difficult to identify dominant investing opportunities suitable for the Fund. Accordingly, it should not be surprising that the Fund's equity allocation shrank in 2014 even though the equity allocation itself had another solid year. In the December quarter, however, we modestly increased the equity allocation as short-term market volatility afforded us opportunities to establish new positions. Perhaps the most striking economic event in the quarter was the major decline in the price of oil. Concomitant with that decline, companies with almost any sort of commodity exposure also suffered substantial share price erosion in the period, and we took advantage of the resulting attractive valuations to establish new positions.

The holding most directly connected to oil's price decline is Rowan, shares of which we had eliminated from the portfolio only one quarter ago. This offshore driller's price plummeted during the quarter, affording us the opportunity to repurchase shares at a large discount to its book value. Flowserve also returned to the portfolio as its share price slumped during the oil price collapse. Flowserve manufactures pumps, valves and seals. While we think its original equipment manufacturing business is attractive in its own right, Flowserve's aftermarket operations comprise almost half of its revenue, which should help to reduce the company's cyclicality. Flowserve rewarded Equity and Income Fund shareholders in the past, and we believe the time has come again to invest with this company's strong management team.

In the case of recent portfolio addition WESCO International, we believe that its share price decline in the quarter far overstated the importance of that company's energy exposure. WESCO, originally the distribution arm of the old Westinghouse Electric, is still perceived to be a mere distributor, but we believe the company has evolved into a value-added supply chain outsourcer. We had been monitoring the company for some time and took advantage of the quarter's bouts of volatility to build a position.

Finally, Southern Copper is the most obvious commodity producer of our four new purchases, but rather than oil, it mines the commodity that many forecast to have the best long-term supply/demand fundamentals. Southern owns four low-cost and long-lived copper mines in Mexico and Peru. Unlike energy commodities, which are subject to conservation and alternatives, copper participates more than fully with worldwide economic growth.

We eliminated four holdings for price reasons in the quarter. General Dynamics had one of the longest tenures in the Fund's history, and the company's results have justified our investment case. We thank the employees of General Dynamics for their contribution to the Fund's success, as well as our retired partner and former co-manager Ed Studzinski for initially recommending General Dynamics for the Fund. Laboratory Corporation of America and Varian Medical Systems were both purchased during the dark days of the financial crisis, and they met our price objectives during the quarter. Although HNI dipped below our buy price on more than one occasion, these opportunities proved to be quite short-lived, and we were never able to accumulate a meaningful position. We look forward to future

occasions when we might repurchase shares of these companies at favorable prices.

As always, we thank our fellow shareholders for investing in the Equity and Income Fund and welcome your comments and questions.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

The Year of Global Divergence

U.S. investors enjoyed another year of double-digit equity market returns in 2014. Unfortunately, only a few small country markets, such as Israel and Ireland, could also make that positive double-digit claim. From the perspective of a dollar-based investor, many foreign markets declined in the year, and three—Portugal, Austria and Norway—lost more than 20%! All in all, it was a challenging year to be a U.S.-domiciled, diversified global investor.

For the quarter the Oakmark Global Fund gained 3%, which compares to the MSCI World Index's11 1% return in the period and the Lipper Global Funds Index's12 gain of 1%. For all of calendar 2014 the Fund returned 4%, which contrasts to 5% for the MSCI World Index, and 4% for the Lipper Global Funds Index. Since inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 11%, which compares to 4% for the MSCI World Index and 5% for the Lipper Global Funds Index.

For the quarter the countries that contributed the most to the Fund's return were the U.S., Switzerland and Australia, while the leading detractors were the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom. The five largest contributors to Fund return in the quarter were Oracle (U.S.), TE Connectivity (Switzerland), MasterCard (U.S.), Interpublic Group (U.S.) and Health Net (U.S.). The Fund holdings that detracted most were Credit Suisse (Switzerland), Fugro (Netherlands), Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), National Oilwell Varco (U.S.) and BNP Paribas (France). Given the remarkable collapse in the price of oil in the quarter, it followed that the Fund's two oil service holdings were on the detractors' list, but European bank stocks also languished in the period.

For all of 2014 the U.S., Australia and Switzerland contributed most to investment return, while the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France detracted most. By this point it comes as no surprise that five U.S. holdings were the leading return contributors for the year: Health Net, Union Pacific, Oracle, Applied Materials and Intel. Fugro, CNH Industrial (Netherlands), Credit Suisse, Daiwa (Japan) and General Motors (U.S.) detracted most from return.

Does domicile really matter?

In 2014 the issue of inequality became important in academic circles and political debate. Although most discussions focused on differences in personal income, inequality in national prosperity has great importance for us as investors. Clearly our U.S. equity holdings have benefited from a comparatively strong home economy. One must be careful, however, not to think narrowly concerning any individual company's nation of domicile. For example, Intel may be based in Santa Clara, California, but the vast majority of its revenues originate outside the U.S. Similarly, CNH is headquartered in the Netherlands, but its

single largest market for sales—about 25%—is the U.S. and its second largest is Brazil at 14%. Fugro and National Oilwell Varco were both disappointing holdings for us in 2014 despite one being domiciled in the economically stronger U.S. When we analyze a company as a potential investment, its home base is relevant primarily for us to understand the laws and accounting conventions under which it must operate. Once a company has passed the criteria screens (which includes a domicile screen), the key for us is to analyze properly the economics of the business, which includes understanding the company's ownership structure and evaluating the alignment of management with shareholders. In 2014 it appeared that U.S. domicile trumped all other characteristics, but we've found that the investing world has a history of restoring equilibrium to such imbalances. Withal, we will continue to seek out value wherever we may find it.

Portfolio Activity

At the end of the year we often read quotes such as this from the December 31 New York Times: "Trading was slow [on December 30] as most investors have closed their books for 2014." We find such statements totally perplexing, if not absurd. Every hour that equity markets are open for trading we look to improve the performance of the Fund, whether by tactical adjustments to Fund holdings or by taking advantage of new opportunities that the markets provide. This does not, however, mean that our process typically involves heavy trading, as the Fund's 31% turnover ratio for the past 12 months attests.

Nevertheless, the December quarter was an active one for the Fund as we initiated two new holdings, both U.S.-domiciled, and eliminated five from the portfolio. Overall activity left the U.S. portfolio weight stable at 45%. Both new purchases may surprise Fund shareholders at first glance, but we believe that they demonstrate how companies and their valuations evolve over time. Chesapeake Energy attracted us because of a change in management. We often state the importance we ascribe to the alignment of management and shareholder interests for a potential investment. In Chesapeake's case, for years we viewed the company as owning an attractive portfolio of assets, but we were unconvinced that management's interests were appropriately aligned with shareholders. This changed in 2013 when a new CEO and board of directors took control. This new team has simplified the company, sold off low-priority assets, paid down debt and installed "return on invested capital" compensation structures. Despite these improvements, the stock, in our opinion, trades very cheaply because of the recent rout in oil and natural gas prices. We have no forecast for short-term energy prices, but we believe that Chesapeake's improved internal dynamics should enable it to adjust to a new pricing environment.

Oakmark Global Fund  December 31, 2014

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

The second new holding is Google, a company whose services are probably well-known to Fund shareholders. For us, Google is an example of a wonderful company that has grown into its valuation. Despite the U.S. stock market's 2014 strength, Google's share price eroded over the year because of a combination of new regulatory threats, particularly in Europe, and decelerating revenue growth. While other investors may fret over revenue deceleration, we find Google's current growth rate to be extraordinary for such a large company and believe that it amply demonstrates the strength of the business model. Intrusive regulation remains a possibility, but we believe that the current stock price adequately discounts that possibility.

Turning to the portfolio eliminations, Laboratory Corporation of America (U.S.) was the Fund's longest-held U.S. investment. In our view, the company successfully grew its intrinsic value per share over the holding period, and we thank LabCorp's management team for its contribution to the Fund's success.

Given the strength of the Japanese market over the past couple of years, it should come as no surprise that three of our four non-U.S. eliminations came from Japan—Kansai Paint, Canon and Yamaha Motors. The extremely cheap valuations we found in Japanese-listed companies in 2011 and 2012 appear to have been corrected. As such, our significant weighting there has moved from a high of 24%, versus the MSCI World weighting of (11%), to our current weighting of 6.4% (whereas MSCI World is at 8%). We also sold Akzo Nobel (Netherlands) because of its diminished relative attractiveness.

Currency Hedges

Although the U.S. dollar appreciated versus many foreign currencies during the quarter, we continued to believe some currencies are overvalued. Based on the increased strength of the U.S. dollar, we decreased our defensive currency hedges. As of quarter end, approximately 25% of the Swiss franc and 23% of the Australian dollar were hedged.

Oakmark Global Select Fund  December 31, 2014

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakwx@oakmark.com

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakwx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, outperforming the MSCI World Index's11 1% return. For the calendar year, the Fund returned 3%, underperforming the MSCI World Index return of 5%. The Fund has returned an average of 9% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5% over the same period.

Oracle (U.S.) was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 18%. Oracle's share price continued its recovery after reporting solid results this quarter, which were better than investors had expected. Over the past few months, we have spoken with both of the newly appointed CEOs (Safra Catz and Mark Hurd, who were promoted as Larry Ellison moves from CEO to Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer), and we remain comfortable with the company's leadership, strategy and prospects. Additionally, we continue to be excited about Oracle's transition to cloud-based services and its strong reported revenue growth of 45% year-over-year. It was also reported during the quarter that Oracle and SAP reached an agreement on copyright infringement litigation, providing Oracle with $357 million in damages. We believe that Oracle is a solid investment that will reward shareholders into the future.

The largest detractor for the quarter was Apache (U.S.), a global oil and gas exploration and production company, falling 18%. As with most oil and gas exploration companies, Apache's share price is sometimes influenced by the direction of oil prices, which have fallen dramatically in recent months. The weakness in oil prices enabled us to purchase the name for the portfolio during the quarter at what we believed to be an attractive price. Apache has outlined a strategic plan to divest its nearly fully valued oil and gas assets and announced its intent to spin-off or sell all of its international assets and use the proceeds from these transactions for share repurchases. In line with this plan, in December Apache announced a deal to sell two of its natural gas projects. Although the price of the deal was a bit short of our estimates, we remain confident in management's ability to divest fully valued assets and return proceeds to shareholders. Furthermore, newly appointed COO John Christmann recently changed the company's capital allocation process and implemented a system for ranking the internal rates of return on wells across North America that should ensure a more efficient use of capital. In addition, Christmann replaced the operating heads of each region, changing their compensation metrics to focus on returns, and he also put in place a new geoscience team, which he considers to be the "best in the business." In our view, these improvements are strengthening Apache's underlying value, and we believe the true quality of this company is currently under-appreciated by the market.

There was abundant trading activity during the quarter. We sold our positions in Canon (Japan), Capital One Financial (U.S.), FedEx (U.S.) and Intel (U.S.); the positions were sold because

they either approached our estimate of fair value or we identified other investments with what we believe is a better risk-return profile. We purchased three new names during the quarter: Apache (discussed above); MasterCard, a global payment system company; and Samsung Electronics, South Korea's top electronics company and world leader in semiconductors.

Geographically, 43% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of December 31, while approximately 48% were allocated to equities in Europe, 5% in Japan and 4% in South Korea.

While the U.S. dollar appreciated versus many foreign currencies during the quarter, we continued to believe some currencies are overvalued. As of quarter-end, approximately 25% of the Fund's Swiss franc exposure was hedged.

We would like to thank our shareholders for continuing to support us and our value investing philosophy. We wish you all a happy and prosperous new year!

Oakmark International Fund  December 31, 2014

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

Robert A. Taylor, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund declined 0.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index13, which declined 4% over the same period. The Fund's calendar-year performance was weak in absolute and relative terms, declining 5% versus the MSCI World ex U.S. Index's loss of 4%. Most importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 10% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6% per year over the same period.

Daimler AG, a leading global vehicle manufacturer, was the quarter's top contributor, returning 9%. Daimler's third-quarter results released late in October showed overall revenue growth of 10% from the year-ago period. Additionally, free cash flow reached approximately EUR 3.4 billion, which was nearly twice the EUR 1.8 billion from one year ago. For the full fiscal nine months, revenues in its core Mercedes-Benz division were stronger than our forecast, driven by unit sales increases mainly in China and the U.S. Despite continued weakness in Germany, Western Europe improved in the third quarter. We recently met with CFO Bodo Uebber to discuss details of Daimler's previously announced long-term strategy, which includes increasing the number of Mercedes-Benz dealerships and unit sales in China and capitalizing on recent dealership improvements (better sales training, new technology systems) to steadily boost division profits, as well as initiatives to strengthen business in other divisions. We think that Daimler's management team is taking the right steps that will result in continued benefits to shareholders.

Honda Motors, another leading global vehicle manufacturer, was the quarter's biggest detractor, falling 15%. Honda's second-quarter operating profit was below investors' expectations, partially due to costs associated with a vehicle recall in Japan. The company reduced its full-year auto sales volume guidance and lowered its net profit forecast, but left its total operating profit expectations unchanged. Despite lower earnings, management reduced its current capital spending budget and expects free cash flow to improve for the remainder of the year. During the quarter, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a probe into whether Honda failed to report incidents involving air bag malfunctions that resulted in injuries or deaths. Subsequently, Honda launched its own independent audit of "potential inaccuracies" related to under-reporting. Because an outside company manufactured the airbags, we believe that company may be held partially responsible for any liability claims made against Honda. Based on similar circumstances involving vehicle manufacturer recalls, our assessment is that Honda's liability should not materially affect its shareholders. Global auto demand remains strong, which we think will benefit Honda, and we expect the company's performance will improve.

In previous commentaries we discussed the succession of issues faced by Tesco, a U.K. based grocery retailer, and our reassessment of fair value estimates. Typically, when we make an error in judgment on a stock, we have confidence it will overcome any short-term headwinds and recover. However, we recognized this investment was a mistake and thus sold our shares. Tesco was the largest detractor for the calendar year and was a major cause of our underperformance for the year. Although we strive to keep investment errors to a minimum, we do learn from our mistakes.

During the quarter we sold our positions in Givaudan, Novartis and Sanofi as they approached or hit our estimate of intrinsic value. We also sold our shares of Hermes, which we received as part of a corporate action related to our holding of LVMH. We added one new name to the portfolio for the quarter: Continental, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of tires for cars, trucks, bicycles and agricultural equipment.

Geographically we ended the quarter with 81% of our holdings in Europe, 11% in Japan and 4% in Australia. The remaining positions are in North America (Canada), South Korea, Hong Kong, and the Middle East (Israel).

While the U.S. dollar appreciated versus many foreign currencies during the quarter, we continued to believe some currencies are overvalued. Based on the increased strength of the U.S. dollar, we decreased our defensive currency hedges. As of quarter-end, approximately 25% of the Swiss franc, 23% of the Australian dollar and 14% of the Swedish krona were hedged.

We would like to thank our shareholders for continuing support us and our value investing philosophy. We wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year!

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund  December 31, 2014

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 declined 2.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, slightly less than the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index16, which declined 3.4% for the same period. For the year ended December 31, the Fund declined 8%, and the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index declined 5%. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 10% per year.

The top performing stock in the Fund this past quarter was gategroup ("Gate"), a Swiss company that provides services to the travel industry, including flight catering, airport services and lounge operation. During the quarter Gate reported its third quarter results, which showed that its multiyear restructuring program was beginning to have a positive impact on group margins. Furthermore, 2014 proved to be one of the better operating environments for the airline industry (Gate's key customers) since the financial crisis due to robust passenger growth and recent declines in oil prices, which have helped airline profitability. The more favorable macro backdrop should benefit Gate into 2015, but the key driver to value creation will be the continued execution of its cost-reduction plans. In November, Gate's board appointed Christoph Schmitz as its new Chief Financial Officer, which we hope leads to better execution of the cost-reduction plan and increased focus on improving the cash conversion of the business.

The Fund's largest detractor for the quarter was DGB Financial Group, a regional South Korean financial holding company that provides a full range of consumer and commercial banking-related financial services. Late in October, DGB released its third quarter results, which were only slightly below our estimates but were weaker than its peers in South Korea. In mid-November, DGB announced a rights issuance, which ignited a significantly negative market response. DGB plans to use the additional capital to accommodate growing its loan business, to initiate an auto finance business and to acquire Woori Aviva Life Insurance Company. We also have concerns about the issuance, as the use of capital appears to be suboptimal and is counter to DGB's previously stated intentions of slowing growth in order to focus on harvesting better margins. However, we continue to believe DGB's primary business region and its current undervaluation support the stock's attractiveness.

Netherlands-domiciled geological engineering company Fugro was the largest detractor from performance for the calendar year due to continued declines in oil prices, which led to further postponements/cancellations of off-shore projects. During the fourth quarter Fugro announced another significant downgrade to its earnings outlook as well as a host of restructuring/impairment charges, which put into question its ability to comply with financial covenants. As the quarter progressed, Fugro's balance sheet improved as Royal Boskalis Westminster acquired nearly a 15% stake in the company and Fugro secured amendments to its financial covenants. However,

falling oil prices could make the operating environment in 2015 even more challenging than it was in 2014.

Fugro is a highly operationally-geared business, and our original investment thesis assumed a continuation of high single-digit growth in off-shore exploration and production capital expenditures (E&P CAPEX), which has proven to be inaccurate. Because we miscalculated the operating environment for Fugro, over the past six months we have significantly reduced our estimate of Fugro's intrinsic value. However, even with the challenges Fugro faces, we believe that off-shore E&P CAPEX trends will eventually improve and that Fugro's market positions are strong, Thus, we remain invested in the name.

We added one new security to the Fund during the quarter, Spain-based Applus Services. Applus is a leading global certification company specializing in testing, inspection and certification services. The company provides solutions for clients in all sectors to ensure that their assets and products comply with environmental, quality, health and safety standards and regulations. During the quarter we sold Nifco and Yamaha Motor from the Fund.

Geographically we ended the quarter with 20% of our holdings in Asia, 65% in Europe and 12% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America (Canada and the U.S.), Latin America (Brazil) and the Middle East (Israel).

While the U.S. dollar has strengthened, we still maintain hedge positions on three of the Fund's currency exposures. As of the recent quarter end and as a result of the strengthening dollar, we decreased the Fund's Australian dollar hedge to 24%, the Norwegian krone exposure to 19% and the Swiss franc exposure to 25%.

We thank you for your continued confidence and support and wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2015!
