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.

At Oakmark, we are long-term investors. We attempt to identify growing businesses that are managed to benefit their shareholders. We will purchase stock in those businesses only when priced substantially below our estimate of intrinsic value. After purchase, we patiently wait for the gap between stock price and intrinsic value to close.

(May 12, 1925 – September 22, 2015) RIP

Party Like It's 1908

As I write this, something wonderful is happening in Chicago: There is excitement about winning an October baseball game for the first time in twelve years.1 The Chicago Cubs are finally back in the playoffs. As every Chicago Cubs fan knows, it has been a long road back from our last World Series win in 1908. In 2003, we were one game from going to the World Series, leading the Florida Marlins three games to one, but went on to lose three consecutive games to the eventual champions. Since then, the Cubs compiled a cumulative regular season record of 90 games below .500 and lost all six of their playoff games, bringing their post-season losing streak to nine games. Until this year.

Twelve years ago, in our June 2003 report, I wrote about the Michael Lewis book Moneyball. It tells the story of how Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane built a team that made the post-season, even though it had one of the lowest payrolls in Major League Baseball. Beane used advanced statistics to identify valuable players whom other teams had given up on. (I liked how Beane's approach resembled Oakmark's approach to buying stocks.) In 2002, after taking the A's to the playoffs for three consecutive years, Beane turned down an offer from the Boston Red Sox to become baseball's highest paid general manager.

Spurned by Beane, the Red Sox instead hired another young statistical guru, Theo Epstein. The Red Sox had just missed the 2002 playoffs despite having one of baseball's highest payrolls, and the owners had lost patience with the team's direction. By 2004, Epstein had overhauled the roster, hired a new manager and won the World Series. From 2003 through 2011—while the Cubs struggled—the Epstein-led Red Sox won two World Series, went to the playoffs six times and ended each season an average of 25 games over .500.

In 2011, the Cubs' record was 71-91. The Cubs' owners lost patience with the team's direction, so they hired Theo Epstein away from Boston. With a starting point of 20 games under .500, the Cubs were more of a teardown than the Red Sox had been. But by 2015, the roster had been overhauled and a new manager was put in place. The team's record improved to 32 games over .500, they earned a spot in the playoffs and they are now widely considered the most promising young team in baseball.

Baseball and Business Aren't That Different

Though I enjoy writing about baseball and the Cubs, the purpose of these reports is to share how we think about investing. Baseball is just a convenient analogy for examining businesses. An owner of a baseball team gets frustrated, hires a new GM and watches for signs of a turnaround. The shareholders of a poorly performing business get frustrated, the board of directors hires a new CEO and everyone watches for signs of a turnaround.

In both baseball and business, a turnaround isn't always immediately apparent in the numbers. In Epstein's first year with the Cubs, the team lost 40 more games than they won, 20 worse than the prior season. The next two seasons weren't much better, totaling 46 games under .500. But beneath the surface, the culture was improving as toxic veterans were replaced by highly talented, motivated rookies. Strategic trades took advantage of teams that were focused on the short term. (Can you believe we got Jake Arrieta for a three-month rental of Scott Feldman? Or Addison Russell for three months of Jeff Samardzija?) A new manager was hired, Joe Maddon, who had a proven track record of getting the most from young players. Individual goals finally took a back seat to team goals. But it still took three painfully long years before that progress was visible in the number of wins.

I remember many years ago talking to Warren Batts, then-CEO of Premark, which he headed after it was spun out from Kraft. (We owned it in the Oakmark Fund.) Batts said that a new CEO needs about two years to complete strategic acquisitions or divestitures and to build a new team of top managers. Then it takes those managers a year to build their teams. So three years in, the turnaround is finally in gear, yet investors have often already given up. If Theo Epstein's tenure with the Cubs was judged by the one-, two- or three-year win-loss record, it would have been deemed a failure. In year four, he looks like baseball executive of the year. Similarly, we've often used Oakmark's long investment horizon to try to gain an advantage over shorter term investors. Patience is generally a virtue in management of a baseball team, a business or an investment portfolio.

What Is the W-L Record of a Business?

In baseball it is generally agreed upon that the number of wins defines success. (Some might say success should be measured by World Series Championships, but I agree with the purists who argue that luck plays too big a factor in an individual series whereas it tends to even out over the course of a 162-game season.) In business, however, there isn't a generally agreed-upon metric to grade the success of a CEO. In a recent political debate, a particular candidate's tenure as CEO of a public company became a topic of discussion. Various statistics were cited, including changes in sales, earnings, stock price, number of

2 OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

people employed and dollars spent on R&D. Depending on which statistic was used, the resulting conclusion ranged from miserable failure to huge success.

Of those metrics, the one that interests us most is the change over time in stock price. Stock price presumably takes into account all of the other metrics and weights them appropriately. If markets were perfectly efficient, we'd say that change in stock price is the best measure of a CEO. But since we have seen markets sometimes overwhelmed by irrational exuberance or pessimism, we believe that an individual CEO can be unfairly blamed or credited for what is in fact a broad shift in valuation of many similar companies. When Jack Welch retired as CEO of General Electric in 2000, he was replaced by current CEO Jeff Immelt. Say what you will about Immelt's tenure as CEO, but it wasn't his fault that it started just as the large-cap bull market of 2000 was ending, when GE traded at 40 times earnings, a multiple at which almost no large company sells today. So, we need a better metric than stock price.

At Oakmark, we believe CEOs should have one goal: to maximize the long-term value of the business (including dividends), adjusted for net-debt and measured on a per-share basis. Interestingly, during the political debate, not one person mentioned any metric that included changes in the balance sheet or the number of shares outstanding. I don't know any business owners that would judge success or failure based on how their businesses grew without also considering how the balance sheets or their equity ownership percentage had changed. If a company doubles its size by doubling its share count, it is effectively just running in place. Many acquisitions that increase a company's sales and earnings fail to add value when considering the cash or stock that was paid to the seller.

Today it seems unpopular, especially in the political arena, to say that a CEO's goal should be to maximize value for the owners of a business. When you hear that view being challenged, remember that a company can only maximize long-term value by treating its employees fairly (or they will work elsewhere), by treating its customers fairly (or they will buy elsewhere) and by allocating its capital to the highest return projects. When a company doesn't have high return projects to invest in, returning excess capital to shareholders either through dividends or stock repurchase frees that capital to be invested in other businesses that do have growth opportunities. A no-growth company building new plants doesn't help anyone in the long run. For example, think of the societal gain that occurred when declining mainframe computer companies returned capital to shareholders and that money was invested in Internet startups. Capital returned to shareholders doesn't just get stuffed into mattresses.

At Oakmark, we believe the win-loss record of a CEO is the change in value per-share over his or her tenure. A good CEO will build a team to help maximize that change, just as a good baseball GM will build a team to maximize the number of wins. I hope by the time you read this the Cubs have passed their first playoff challenge and are on their way to the World Series. But if not, we fans will take comfort that the foundation appears to be in place for long-term success. It's a lot like our investment portfolios: When Oakmark invests in undervalued businesses run by CEOs with good win-loss records, our portfolios might not perform well next quarter or even next year, but we believe the foundation is in place for long-term success.

Oakmark Fund  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

Kevin Grant, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Fund declined 8% during the past quarter, bringing the decline to 5% for the fiscal year ended September 30. The S&P 5002 declined 6% for the quarter and declined 1% for the fiscal year. Market volatility increased dramatically during the third quarter, driven by global economic softness, interest rate uncertainty and commodity weakness. We are certainly not pleased with near-term underperformance, but we remain confident that our focus on business value and our extended investment time horizon will position the Fund for favorable results over longer periods of time. We typically view heightened volatility as an opportunity to buy undervalued companies at attractive prices.

For the quarter and the fiscal year, energy and financials were our weakest sectors. We think these are among the most attractive areas in the market, and over one-third of the Fund's equities are invested in these two sectors. Our best performing sectors for the quarter were consumer staples and health care. The best performing sectors for the year were consumer discretionary and information technology. For the fiscal year, our best performing securities were Amazon and UnitedHealth Group, and the worst performers were Chesapeake Energy and Apache. We added two new names to the portfolio during the quarter (see below). We eliminated positions in Baker Hughes Incorporated, Glencore PLC, Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Precision Castparts Corp. We sold Precision Castparts following Berkshire Hathaway's acquisition offer. The other sales were part of our ongoing tax-trading strategy, and in these instances, we elected to invest funds elsewhere after we had completed the front-end tax-trade sales.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC-$60)

Anadarko Petroleum is a large oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the United States and abroad. We believe the company has an excellent track record of discovering and developing profitable oil and gas reserves, and management has a reputation for being best-in-class operators. Anadarko has been able to consistently increase its proved reserves at costs that are well below industry averages, adding value in the process. Most importantly, management seeks to maximize per-share asset value with its capital allocation decisions and has shunned the "growth at all costs" mentality prevalent at many peers. This approach has encouraged low-cost development and intelligent asset monetization, which we believe is creating significant value. Like many oil and gas stocks, however, Anadarko shares have been affected by falling oil and gas prices, driving them down from a high of $110 last year to a low of $59 last quarter. We believe this substantially undervalues Anadarko's asset base. After adjusting for the company's stakes in public midstream equities and in large non-producing oil and gas assets, which are not needed to support future production growth, we believe Anadarko is attractively valued on multiples of earnings and cash flow. In our view, this

is a best-in-class company that is trading at a discount to lower quality peers in an already depressed industry, making Anadarko an attractive addition to our portfolio.

Cummins Inc. (CMI-$109)

The Oakmark Fund previously held shares in Cummins from the third quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2014. Cummins is the world's largest non-affiliated engine manufacturer, and it has a strong global distribution network. North America remains its largest market, but faster growing emerging markets account for almost one-third of the company's revenues. Cummins is also a leader in emissions control technology, which should lead to favorable revenue growth as more countries mandate tougher emissions standards. Global economic weakness has hurt the company's results, but we are encouraged by management's ability to innovate, cut costs and allocate capital wisely. The share price has fallen considerably from when we eliminated the position in the second quarter of 2014 when the business was valued at over 15x 2014 earnings, and we believe the business is now attractively valued at a below-average multiple of 11x expected 2015 earnings.

Portfolio Manager

oaklx@oakmark.com

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund declined 9%, compared to a 6% decline for the S&P 5002. This brings the Fund's return for the fiscal year that ended on September 30 to a decline of 7%, compared to a decline of 1% for the S&P 500 over the same period. Although we are disappointed with these outcomes, we have been through difficult periods before and remain thoroughly committed to the same investment process that has delivered success since the Fund's inception.

During the quarter, Apache (–32%) and Chesapeake (–32%) were our largest detractors, as commodity prices declined broadly. Our largest contributors were Google Cl A (+19%) and Amazon (+18%). For the fiscal year, Apache (–58%) and Chesapeake (–65%) were our largest detractors by a significant margin, and Amazon (+59%) and MasterCard (+23%) were our largest contributors. We wrote fairly extensively about Chesapeake last quarter, but an update seems warranted given the stock price's continued weakness. In short, it wasn't all bad news—lower oil and gas prices notwithstanding. Chesapeake renegotiated a meaningful component of its legacy high-cost transportation contracts (see last quarter's letter for details), and this has reduced the company's sensitivity to lower gas prices. Importantly, many of the company's fundamentals, including production volume as well as drilling and operating costs, have been consistent with our expectations. Furthermore, one of Chesapeake's competitors recently sold assets in the Haynesville Shale that were quite similar to those of Chesapeake; the sale price was consistent with our estimated value. At Oakmark, we always closely monitor private market transactions, which we believe are important indicators of business value.

We sold Franklin Resources in the quarter and allocated the proceeds across several existing holdings in the Fund. We established no new positions in the quarter. You may notice the cash balance was higher than normal at quarter end. The elevated cash position supports a tax trade on Apache, whereby we sold puts and a portion of our shares to maintain some exposure to the company while harvesting a tax loss. We expect the cash position will normalize when we complete the tax trade. While it's too early to make promises, as of September 30, we do not expect to be making a capital gain distribution this year.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

Voilà! Volatility is Back

"In the history of the stock market this is the first year to have made it to July without breaching the 3.5% barrier in either direction...A newly awakened Rip van Winkle might think that this lack of directional volatility implied a very calm economy and world political environment, to which we would reply 'Greece, Islamic State, negative first quarter GDP...'"

Just one quarter ago we commented on the unusual lack of volatility in the stock market. How quickly things change! Within seven weeks of writing our last quarterly letter, the market fell by 11% in just six trading days, and on two of those days it fell by more than 3%. While the market has recovered some of those losses, it was still down 6% in the quarter.

So what has changed? As we alluded to in our commentary last quarter, despite the subdued movement in the market through the first half of the year, the world remained a volatile place. It seems as if the market became more cognizant of this in the third quarter, after China surprised investors with weak economic indicators and equally surprising government responses. And, so, market volatility reappeared, reminding investors it was merely in hibernation and not extinct.

As if the sudden reappearance of volatility wasn't enough to rattle investors, technical issues further compounded the problem. On Monday, August 24, some exchange traded funds (ETFs) opened down as much as 40% while the underlying net asset values were down a fraction of that. Even the shares of enormous, widely owned companies like GE, JPMorgan and CVS fell 20% in the early minutes of trading, before recovering to end the day down "just" low- to mid-single digit percentages.

Such wild moves lend credence to the concerns that many have expressed about potential volatility in another asset class: bonds. With bonds having been in a 30-year bull market, some are concerned that investors aren't prepared for the repercussions that may follow the Federal Reserve's rate hikes. Making matters potentially worse, a greater percentage of the bond market is now controlled by flightier open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds; at the same time, large banks are playing a smaller role intermediating bond trading, as a result of post-financial crisis regulations. The combined effect of all of this is that the bond market could be in for a period of unusual price swings. Even plain vanilla Treasuries—long viewed as one of the most liquid markets in the world—could be "violently volatile," according to JPMorgan Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon.

While orderly capital markets are essential to a resilient and growing economy, we wonder if too much has been made of this issue. Yes, extreme volatility can cost investors who sell out during times of stress. But that only exacerbates the real problem: panicking and selling during times of stress. Certainly there are investors who need to sell merely out of unfortunate coincidence on days the market is under unusual strain. But it seems many of the sellers on such days are reacting to nothing more than the decline in the market. Indeed, the volume on Monday, August 24, was nearly twice the average experienced throughout the summer. Investors would be well served on such days (and extended periods) simply to tune out the market and adhere to their long-term investment plans. It's the deviation from those investment plans in times of stress—and not the resultant trading costs—that is the real problem.

While we may not think the issues of liquidity and volatility are quite as deleterious as some have claimed, we still have taken great care to protect shareholders of the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. In general, we take a holistic approach to managing the Fund's liquidity. In addition to holding considerable levels of cash, commercial paper, and other short-term instruments—conventional sources of liquidity—the Fund also invests in numerous other securities that we believe can be at least partially liquidated with relative ease, such as government bonds and large capitalization equities. While the composition of the portfolio will likely change over time to capitalize on the opportunity set, we seek to manage the Fund with a goal of maintaining ample total liquidity.

Regarding a rise in interest rates and any related dislocations in the fixed income markets, the Equity and Income Fund is intentionally positioned to mitigate the associated risks and ultimately, we believe, to take advantage of potential opportunities that may arise. With cash and short-term investments amounting to 20% of assets, we believe the Fund has substantial liquidity to weather such an environment without being a seller of any bond holdings that may be under temporary pressure. In fact, the Fund is positioned to be a net buyer of bonds in an environment where the risk-adjusted returns become compelling.

Although it is impossible to foresee all of the knock-on effects from a potential sharp increase in rates, we believe the direct impact on the Fund from bond market turmoil related to a rise in rates should be relatively muted given the short duration of the fixed income holdings and the substantial liquidity.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Quarter Review

The Fund has not come out of this period of volatility unscathed. For the quarter, the Fund declined 7% while the Lipper Balanced Index7, the Fund's performance benchmark, declined 5%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund declined 3% compared to the Lipper Balanced Index, which was down 1%. Top contributors for the quarter were Foot Locker, Precision Castparts, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Omnicare and Nestle. The largest detractors were Glencore, BorgWarner, Dover, Flowserve and Oracle. For the fiscal year, UnitedHealth Group, Foot Locker, Omnicare, CVS Health and Lear contributed the most, while Glencore, National Oilwell Varco, Dover, Flowserve and Ultra Petroleum were the largest detractors. Much like in previous quarters, the consumer and health care names did well while weak commodity prices hurt the shares of some of the largest detractors. We are glad to note that Precision Castparts, as well as Remy International, accepted acquisition offers during the quarter.

The stock prices of many of our equity holdings have fallen, in some cases substantially. In most instances, we believe the stock price declines have been much greater than the changes in business values. In these situations, we have often added to the holding, as we expect, over time, that stock prices and business value will converge when this current period of increased volatility subsides. In our view, the Fund's strong liquidity position enables us to be patient, long-term equity and fixed income investors. The Fund's overall asset allocation was slightly more skewed toward fixed income and cash than last quarter, with 61% of assets in equities and 39% in fixed income and cash.

Transaction Activity

During the quarter, we initiated a new position in Oceaneering International, as well as a small position in Howard Hughes Corporation, and we eliminated three holdings: Aflac, Omnicare and Remy. Omnicare left the portfolio as the result of an acquisition by fellow Fund holding CVS. Omnicare was a long-term, successful holding, and we would like to thank CEO Nitin Sahney and his team for doing a fantastic job.

As for the addition of Oceaneering International to the portfolio, this company offers various niche products and services used in deepwater oil and gas exploration and production. In our view, management has done a terrific job of growing market share and profitability through strong execution and wise capital allocation. Although the large decline in oil prices will affect near-term demand for deepwater services, we still believe that deepwater production will be necessary to meet future oil demand. Given Oceaneering's strong balance sheet, we can wait for demand to recover, and we believe that Oceaneering trades at a low teens multiple of normalized earnings.

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

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), according to Wikipedia, "is a mood disorder subset in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer." Investors know that the stock market has historically demonstrated seasonality in its return pattern. September, the month when the Northern Hemisphere generally experiences its most pleasant weather, is also the month with the stock market's worst return record. Academics have attempted to explain this phenomenon, but the explanation remains elusive. Regardless of the reason, stock markets around the globe fully demonstrated this SAD tendency in late summer 2015.

Many factors contributed to the difficult environment for investors, including U.S. monetary policy uncertainty, the international refugee crisis, seemingly endless Middle East conflicts, commodity price declines, currency volatility and decelerating Chinese economic growth. But we must assert again what we have said many times before: In our view little has changed to affect our holdings' abilities to produce positive economic outcomes for shareholders. We expect the Fund's holdings to continue to generate free cash flow, invest in their businesses, pay dividends and repurchase stock, and, in general, grow their intrinsic value per share. As always, market prices are far more volatile than intrinsic value, and it is our job to prey upon this volatility.

Perhaps nothing better demonstrates the quarter's difficult market than the outcomes in the automotive industry. The Fund owns three original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) spread across the globe: Toyota, Daimler and General Motors. In September, Volkswagen admitted that its diesel engines were outfitted with software enabling them to cheat on emissions tests. As might be expected, Volkswagen's shares plummeted as the story unfolded. Less predictably, its competitors' share prices also fell, as at least in the short term, the market took a more pessimistic view toward the entire automotive industry. We anticipate that our three OEMs will gain market share at Volkswagen's expense, and this should help to increase their per share intrinsic value.

Quarter Review

For the quarter, the Oakmark Global Fund lost 11%, which compares to the MSCI World Index's9 8% loss in the period and the Lipper Global Fund Index's10 loss of 9%. For the first nine months of 2015, the Fund lost 10%, which contrasts to losses of 6% for both the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Fund Index. For the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund lost 7%, and both the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Fund Index lost 5%. Since inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 10%, which compares to 3% for the MSCI World Index and 4% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.

For the quarter, every country represented in the Fund detracted from return. The U.S., Switzerland and the U.K. detracted most. Google (U.S.), Nestle (Switzerland), Intel (U.S.), Danone (France, position now eliminated) and Allianz (Germany) were the only positive contributors to Fund return. The Fund holdings that detracted most were CNH Industrial (Netherlands), Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland), Julius Baer Group (Switzerland) and Daimler (Germany).

For the calendar nine months, Australia and France contributed to investment return, while the U.S., U.K. and Japan detracted most. Leading contributors to return were Google, Health Net (U.S.), Adecco (Switzerland), Incitec Pivot (Australia) and Julius Baer Group. Chesapeake Energy (U.S.), Tenet Healthcare, CNH Industrial, Union Pacific (U.S.) and Franklin Resources (U.S.) were the leading detractors.

Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year that ended September 30, 2015, the countries that contributed most to return were Australia and Switzerland, and detractors were the U.S., the Netherlands and the U.K. The largest return contributors were Health Net, MasterCard (U.S.), Incitec Pivot, TE Connectivity (Switzerland) and Google. Tenet Healthcare led the detractors, followed by National Oilwell Varco (U.S.), Chesapeake Energy, CNH Industrial and Credit Suisse Group.

Portfolio Activity

Given the poor portfolio return described above, it cannot be surprising to learn that alongside the aforementioned automobile manufacturers many holdings suffered significant price declines in the quarter. Companies with interest rate sensitivity or exposure to energy and/or China had especially weak performance. Perhaps most surprising, however, is the price decline that Fund holding Health Net experienced in the period. On July 2, Centene (CNC) announced that it had agreed to purchase Health Net for a mixture of cash and CNC stock. At the time of the announcement, the deal offered a significant premium to Health Net shareholders. After an initial leap higher, however, the stock prices of both Health Net and Centene declined as investor enthusiasm for health care providers cooled. We also believe that some Centene investors sold their shares because they had anticipated that CNC itself would be a target rather than an acquirer. We reduced the Health Net holding after the deal announcement but would have been better served by eliminating the holding completely. Nevertheless, we find the combination of the two companies to be intriguing and look forward to learning more about their combined potential.

We initiated two new holdings in the quarter, one U.S. and one international. We also eliminated one U.S. and two international holdings. Although the net reduction in international holdings suggests that we reduced the international portfolio

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

weight, in fact, we increased the international weight in the quarter based on our analysis of relative attraction. Once again, we did not intentionally choose these geographical allocations; they are the result of our bottom-up search for value across the globe and of divergent price movements.

Our international new purchase was Baidu (BIDU), China's largest Internet search engine that commands over 70% market share. The company is also a leading provider of various Internet properties, such as maps, an app store, videos, and travel services. More recently, management has been investing heavily in new businesses such as online-to-offline services (e.g., food delivery, ride sharing, etc.). These investments appear to be causing a drag on both profitability and stock price. Macro fears in China have also contributed to Baidu's weak stock performance. Despite these headwinds, we remain optimistic about Baidu's long-term prospects. Investments in new businesses are masking the strength of the core search business, which continues to grow at a healthy rate and generates high levels of profitability. We believe today's valuation neither reflects the fair value of the company's search business nor gives any credit for its many non-search businesses; therefore, the stock price significantly underestimates its true value.

The Baidu purchase doubled the Fund's emerging market holdings (from one to two!), although many Fund investors may have assumed that China and Korea had already graduated from the emerging market category. Our equity research department devotes considerable time to analyzing companies based in emerging markets. Yet corporate governance and business quality continue to be the limiting factors when looking at companies in these regions.

Our one new U.S. purchase, Oceaneering International (OII), ironically, has the word "International" in its name. Oceaneering offers various niche products and services used in deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, many of which relate to its industry-leading fleet of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). In our opinion, management has capably grown market share and profitability through strong execution and wise capital allocation. This combination of management and franchise has always interested us, but only recently has the decline in energy prices caused OII's share price to fall to levels that meet our requirements for purchase. Although the large decline in oil prices affects near-term demand for deepwater services, we believe that deepwater production remains necessary to meet future energy needs.

We eliminated holdings of Applied Materials (U.S.), Danone and Fugro (Netherlands) during the quarter. These sales reflected three factors: our perception that their intrinsic value growth was not meeting our expectations, our effort to enhance the Fund's tax efficiency and our recognition that better opportunities were available elsewhere.

Currency Hedges

Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter. However, both the Swiss franc and Australian dollar weakened versus the U.S. dollar. Although we continue to believe these currencies are overvalued, we reduced our hedging levels during the quarter. Approximately 26% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar were hedged at quarter end.

Oakmark Global Select Fund  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakwx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Global Select Fund declined 3% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, ahead of the MSCI World Index9, which declined 5% over the same period. For the most recent quarter, the Fund declined 9%, which is in line with the MSCI World Index. The Fund has returned an average of 7% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 4% over the same period.

The largest contributor to performance for the quarter and past twelve months was Amazon (U.S.). Earlier this year, investors reacted positively to new disclosures about the company's cloud computing segment. They had generally expected that its high-growth segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), would post a loss, but instead the company surprised the market by showing double-digit operating margins in the first-quarter. This positive surprise led many analysts and investors to assign a higher valuation to the AWS unit and to Amazon overall. We are encouraged by the early success of the AWS business. More recently, Amazon shares increased further after reporting remarkably strong second quarter results, with great progress on both the top and bottom lines. We are very pleased with the results from Amazon's major businesses and believe the company has years of growth ahead of it as it benefits from strong secular tailwinds.

Another positive contributor to performance for the quarter was Google (U.S.), the leading Internet search engine. Google delivered a positive second-quarter earnings report that beat market expectations. We were pleased to see that aggregate paid clicks were up 18% and that paid clicks on Google websites were up 30%. Investors were encouraged by CFO Ruth Porat's favorable comments on "balance sheet efficiency" and "maximizing shareholder value," which reaffirm to us that CEO Larry Page is serious about running Google with shareholders in mind. We continue to believe that Google enjoys a very strong tailwind as advertising continues to move online.

The largest detractor from performance for the quarter and past twelve months was Apache, the U.S.-based oil and gas exploration and production company. As with most oil and gas exploration companies, Apache's share price is influenced by the direction of oil prices, which have fallen dramatically and remain low. Our assessment of Apache's business value is based on the belief that the long-term market clearing oil price is in the mid-$70s. While a decline in near-term commodity prices reduced our estimate of value due to lost interim cash flows, the stock's decline has significantly exceeded what we think is the true change in the company's underlying business value. Despite a challenging energy market, we believe the management team has a solid plan for the future, as CEO John Christmann recently changed the company's capital allocation process to better direct capital to the highest internal rate of return projects, regardless of where they are located. In addition, Christmann replaced the operating heads of each region,

changing their compensation metrics to focus on returns. In our view, these improvements strengthen Apache's ability to maximize its value. We believe most investors are ignoring the value of many Apache assets that will generate substantial cash flow when energy prices increase.

Another large detractor from performance for the quarter was CNH Industrial (Netherlands), a manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment. CNH Industrial's fiscal first-half revenue decline of 22% (–11% in constant currency) was larger than we estimated, as revenues dropped across segments. Earnings and margins also dropped more substantially than we expected. The core agriculture segment was the driving force behind these poor results as demand for tractors and combines fell across all geographies. In response, management reduced agriculture equipment production by 33% in the second quarter year-over-year. Conversely, the Iveco segment performed better than we anticipated, as revenue declined less than our forecasts (and gained 9% in constant currency) while margins expanded. Management updated full-year guidance with a reduced operating profit margin (to a range of 5.6%-6% owing to production cuts) and unchanged sales projections. Management continues to cut costs across the board, and in light of very challenging market conditions, we believe CNH Industrial's leadership team is executing relatively well. Therefore, our investment thesis for this company remains intact.

We added one new name to the Fund during the quarter: General Electric (GE), the global producer of industrial, household and medical goods. GE is a company with businesses we have always admired, but we have previously questioned the stock's valuation and 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). GE is also significantly reducing its financial services business to focus on those lending activities that are core to its industrial products. The company has totally revamped its variable compensation plan for thousands of employees, emphasizing factors that drive return on invested capital, which should boost future results. Some investors may have a stale opinion of GE after the past 15 years of persistent underperformance, but we believe the remaining businesses will grow in excess of global GDP with high returns on capital. We believe the current valuation is attractive for this good collection of businesses.

Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter, but we continue to believe some currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 24% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.

We would like to thank our shareholders for continuing to support us and our value investing philosophy.

30 OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark International Fund  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

Robert A. Taylor, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund declined 9% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index11, which declined 10%. For the most recent quarter, the Fund underperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, declining 13% versus a decline of 11%. However, the Fund has performed well versus the MSCI World ex U.S. Index since its September 1992 inception, returning an average of 10% versus 6% over the same period.

Intesa Sanpaolo, an Italian retail and commercial bank, was the top contributor to performance over the past 12 months. Intesa's share price has rebounded as fears over Italy's banking system and government have subsided. During the period of concern a few years ago, the share price of Intesa plummeted and it was a major detractor from performance. However, we were patient and added to our position, and our shareholders have benefited from the turnaround. This example illustrates why we often increase our holdings in quality companies whose stock prices suffer as a result of short-term fears. During the past 12 months, investors reacted positively to Intesa's impressive revenue growth numbers in spite of challenging headwinds: Italian GDP has been static and banking penetration remains low, while the household savings rate remains high. Management has announced additional returns of capital to shareholders in 2015 via an increased dividend, resulting in a payout ratio in excess of 70%. Even with this return of capital to shareholders, Intesa should be over-capitalized compared with Basel III requirements, leaving the door open for additional capital returns and merger and acquisition opportunities. Additionally, management plans to increase investments in fee-based businesses, including asset management and insurance, and to exit non-core businesses and investments.

The top contributor for the quarter was Safran, a French aerospace and defense company. Earnings in the propulsion unit (which accounts for about 78% of overall earnings) grew 28% in the first half of 2015, significantly above expectations. Safran is benefiting from airline companies, which are relatively healthy in today's environment, catching up on deferred engine maintenance. As a result of robust growth, management raised the 2015 earnings growth guidance for the commercial spare parts division from 10% to the higher teens. We believe Safran has a strong position and will continue to provide value for our shareholders.

Glencore (Switzerland), one of the world's largest mining and commodity trading companies, was the largest detractor from performance during the quarter and the past twelve months. Weaker than expected demand for copper in China has driven the price of the commodity lower and negatively impacted Glencore's share price. Although both supply and demand determine an item's price, we believe that copper's steep cost curve means that if prices dip lower, supply will be rapidly cut back. This quick reduction in supply should protect us against

continued price weakness. China's copper consumption is still growing, and copper will likely be in deficit in the coming years. Shares have also been weak due to concerns about Glencore's ability to service its debt. Management wanted to take decisive action to quell investors' fears and decided to pay down debt via an equity offering of $2.5 billion, asset sales and a suspension of the dividend. We were comforted that Glencore management bought 22% of the new equity during the equity raise, a clear indication that management's interests remain aligned with shareholders. This purchase allowed them to maintain their significant personal investment in the company. The management team and other employees own about one-third of Glencore's stock, and CEO Ivan Glasenberg pledged not to sell shares while employed by the company. In our view, Glencore is uniquely positioned in its industry due to the management team's entrepreneurial and value-focused approach to running the business. We believe Glencore's business value balance of 70% mining operations and 30% commodities trading affords the company an unmatched knowledge of industry pricing and supply/demand dynamics.

Another large detractor from performance for the quarter was CNH Industrial (Netherlands), a manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment. CNH Industrial's fiscal first-half revenue decline of 22% (–11% in constant currency) was larger than we estimated, as revenues dropped across segments. Earnings and margins also dropped more substantially than we expected. The core agriculture segment was the driving force behind these poor results, as demand for tractors and combines fell across all geographies. In response, management reduced agriculture equipment production by 33% in the second quarter year-over-year. Conversely, the Iveco segment performed better than we anticipated, as revenue declined less than our forecasts (and gained 9% in constant currency) while margins expanded. Management updated full-year guidance, with a reduced operating profit margin (to a range of 5.6%-6% owing to production cuts) and unchanged sales projections. Management continues to cut costs across the board, and in light of very challenging market conditions, we believe CNH Industrial's leadership team is executing relatively well. Therefore, our investment thesis for this company remains intact.

There was abundant portfolio activity during the past quarter. We sold our positions in Adecco, Christian Dior, Heineken Holding, Publicis and Wolseley. We added five new names to the Fund: Ashtead Group, a U.K.-based equipment rental company; Baidu, a China-based Internet search engine; Bank Mandiri, an Indonesian commercial bank; Burberry Group, a U.K.-based luxury goods brand; and Valeo, a French auto supplier. Geographically, we ended the quarter with 68% of our holdings in Europe, 18% in Japan, 4% in South Korea and 3% in Australia. The remaining positions are in North America (U.S.), Hong Kong, Indonesia, China and the Middle East (Israel).

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter. However, both the Swiss franc and Australian dollar weakened versus the U.S. dollar. Although we continue to believe these currencies are overvalued, we reduced our hedging levels during the quarter. Approximately 22% of the Swiss franc and 11% of the Australian dollar were hedged at quarter-end.

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

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund  September 30, 2015

Portfolio Manager Commentary

David G. Herro, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakex@oakmark.com

Michael L. Manelli, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakex@oakmark.com

Both the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund and the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index14 declined 4% for the fiscal year ended September 30. For the recent quarter the Fund declined 11%, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index, which declined 8% for the same period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9% per year.

Treasury Wine Estates (Australia), the world's largest listed wine company, was the biggest contributor to performance for the quarter. The company reported fiscal year results in August, which showed a significant improvement in the company's Asian business. Volumes in the Chinese market rose 36% in the second half of the year, and significant potential remains as China represents well under 50% of the company's Asian sales. The historically low market shares in China have left the company unaffected by gift-giving measures in China. A revamp of the company's distribution model has allowed it to significantly improve results, and management believes the company is just scratching the surface of its potential in China. The company also seems to have successfully resolved past inventory issues in North America, allowing management to focus on growing the business. We remain pleased with CEO Mike Clarke's ability to drive results and are confident that Treasury Wine Estates' leadership team will continue to increase overall value in order to benefit shareholders.

dorma+kaba Holding (Switzerland) was the largest contributor to the fiscal year ended September 30. Kaba reported strong operational results during the year as it benefited from an improving macro backdrop in Europe. Additionally, recent investments in new product development resulted in market share gains. Kaba recently completed a transformational merger with Germany-based Dorma Group. We believe the businesses are complementary, combining Kaba's historical strength in access control with Dorma's strength in doors. Together they are one of the largest global companies specializing in security and building-access solutions, commanding a sizable geographic footprint and a substantial research and development budget.

The largest detractor to performance for the quarter was Outotec, a Finnish provider of technology and equipment for the metals and mining industries. Mining companies around the world have reduced capital expenditures budgets in the wake of commodity price declines. During the past few months, Outotec has not experienced any further reduction of customer demand from an already low level, but the company has seen some additional project delays in copper and other base metals. Management has undertaken several cost-cutting initiatives in recent quarters, including job reductions, which appear to be progressing well. During the quarter, we met the new CFO and expect him to implement continuous improvement procedures so that the company can increase profitability and reduce

variability across its businesses. We also expect that Outotec will benefit from a renewed focus on its service business and an eventual improvement in end market demand.

Sluggish gaming activity, primarily in Macau, continued to plague Melco International Development (Hong Kong), the holding company that owns more than one-third of Melco Crown Entertainment in addition to other casino gaming and tourism assets. It was the largest detractor to performance for the fiscal year ended September 30. In July, Macau eased visa restrictions for visitors from mainland China, making it easier for tourists to access its gaming facilities, but gaming revenues have stayed depressed. We remain optimistic on Macau's long-term prospects due to the increasing wealth of Chinese citizens and the large infrastructure projects that should help facilitate Macau's growth.

Five new securities were added to the Fund this quarter, three of which—Kansai Paint, Metso Corporation and Melrose Industries—are previous Fund holdings. Kansai Paint is one of Japan's leading paint companies, and its products are used primarily for automobiles, construction, ships, bridges and residential housing. Based in Finland, Metso is a leading industrial company in the mining and aggregates industries and in the flow control business. Melrose Industries is a British publicly traded business that resembles a private equity firm. Canada-based Finning International, which is the world's largest Caterpillar dealer, sells, rents and offers parts and services for equipment and engines in Canada, Ireland, Latin America and the U.K. Based in Austria, Schoeller-Bleckmann produces and sells components and parts for the oil and gas industry. During the quarter, the Fund sold out of Myer Holdings, Sundrug and Rheinmetall.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with 21% of our holdings in Asia, 62% in Europe and 13% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America, Latin America and the Middle East.

While the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen, we believe that certain global currencies remain overvalued. As a result, while we decreased our exposures as these currencies weakened, the currencies for which the Fund has hedged were the same as the previous quarter. As of September 30, we decreased the Fund's Australian dollar hedge to 10%, the Norwegian krone to 11% and the Swiss franc to 22% of the exposures hedged.

Thank you for your continued confidence.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

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") and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. 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, 2015.

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 Fund may approve the waiver of redemption fees on certain types of accounts held through intermediaries, pursuant to the Fund's policies and procedures. Redemption fees collected by the Fund, if any, are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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

Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE. At September 30, 2015 Select held a security which was valued by the pricing committee at a fair value determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

Fair value measurement

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

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's 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 Adviser's 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 level 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At September 30, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2015 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Offsetting assets and liabilities

Accounting Standards Codification 210 requires entities to disclose gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and disclose instruments and transactions subject to master netting or similar agreements. This disclosure is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.

At September 30, 2015 certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions, in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the table included in the Forward foreign currency contracts section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.

At September 30, 2015 each Fund held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.

The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral as of period end, if any, are included in the Securities lending section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.

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

Oakmark.com 53



Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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, 2015 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 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. Each Fund may sell shares of when-issued securities. Typically, a Fund sells when-issued securities when a company announces a spin-off or re-organization, and the post-spin-off or post-re-organization shares begin trading on a when-issued basis prior to the effective date of the corporate action. A sale of a when-issued security is treated as a short sale for accounting purposes. After the effective date, when shares of the new company are received, any shares sold on a when-issued basis will be delivered to the counterparty. At September 30, 2015 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. At September 30, 2015 none of the Funds held when-issued securities.

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. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, a Fund foregoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price of call. 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.

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 0.15% 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, 2015.

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, 2015 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. At September 30, 2015 all of the Funds held repurchase agreements.

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. Treasuries 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, 2015 Equity and Income and Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $1,568,502 and $5,846,639, respectively, and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $1,595,503 and $6,335,564, respectively.

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, 2015 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Recently issued accounting pronouncement

In June 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-11 Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2019, 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, 2015 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.

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

3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

On September 30, 2015 the Funds had temporary book/tax differences in undistributed earnings that were primarily attributable to trustee deferred compensation expenses, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency contracts and deferrals of capital losses on wash sales. Temporary differences will reverse over time. The Funds have permanent differences in book/tax undistributed earnings primarily attributable to currency gains and losses, equalization debits, passive foreign investment companies, and distribution re-designations. Permanent differences have been recorded in their respective component of the Analysis of Net Assets.

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, 2015, 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, 2015, 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, 2015, 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.

(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:  Thomas H. Hayden, Christine M. Maki, Allan J. Reich, 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.

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, 2015 and September 30, 2014 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 $65,891 and $121,114, 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.

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.
