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 the Oakmark Funds
President of Harris Associates L.P.

Dear Shareholders,

The second half of 2016 proved to be much more rewarding for our investors than the early half of the year. Fears around China's slowdown and the consequences of the U.K.'s Brexit vote started to dissipate by late summer as stronger economic data began to emerge worldwide. Donald Trump's unanticipated election victory heightened expectations for pro-growth economic policies and drove equity markets higher as the year came to a close. As we evaluate the performance of the Oakmark Funds over this period, we are reminded of the importance of staying true to our research discipline and the value of having a long-term investment focus.

Oakmark Family Offers Two New Share Classes

As many of you know, the Oakmark Funds restructured its lineup of share classes on November 30, adding an Advisor class and an Institutional class for eligible investors. We also renamed our existing classes. Our former Class I is now called Investor class, and our former Class II is now called Service class. We are excited that eligible shareholders registered directly with the Funds have been able to convert their shares to the new classes. We are working diligently with intermediaries to bring the new share classes to additional platforms and broaden their accessibility. Ask your financial advisor or account representative when and how you might find them available.

Harris Associates and Oakmark Invest Along with You

For many years, we have shared the level of investment that the portfolio managers, Harris Associates employees and Oakmark Trustees maintain in the Oakmark Funds. This is a measure of the conviction we hold in our value-driven investment philosophy. We expect the management of the companies in which we invest to have significant personal

assets invested in their company stock, and believe this same standard should apply to managers of mutual funds.

We are happy to report that, as of December 31, 2016, the portfolio managers and employees of Harris Associates, as well as the Funds' Trustees, have personal investments of over $400 million in the Oakmark Funds. Personal ownership aligns our interests with those of our shareholders and reflects our connection to your long-term financial goals. It also underscores the pervasive sense of stewardship we feel when investing your assets.

We would like to thank you for your continued investments in the Oakmark Funds. Happy New Year to all!

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com
oaklx@oakmark.com
oakwx@oakmark.com

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.

After the past quarter's commentary highlighting Oakmark's 25th anniversary, I was asked, "Why in the world did you have confidence 25 years ago that a small, Chicago-based, high-net-worth account manager could succeed in the mutual fund business, competing against many well-established, much larger firms?" I think the answer gives good insight into how we think, so I wanted to share it.

Perhaps we were somewhat naïve about the challenges we faced, and to the extent that played a role, I'm glad we didn't realize what a difficult journey we were embarking on. But we weren't a startup—Harris Associates had been successfully investing on behalf of its clients for 15 years. And being in the industry, we knew enough about the competition to identify five things we would strive to do better than existing funds.

Our Brand—Oakmark—Will Have Meaning

In the late 1980s, Morningstar became the dominant evaluation service for mutual funds. One of its great advances was to classify funds according to their investment style and universe. So instead of just comparing an equity fund to an index like the S&P 5001, an investor could compare it to other funds that invested in the same size companies and that used the same investment approach. They created a box comprised of a nine-square grid that represented market capitalization (from small to large) and approaches (from value to growth), and they assigned each fund to a "style box." Marketing departments for the big mutual fund companies saw the opportunity to offer funds in each style box, which resulted in a massive increase in the number of funds offered.

We never had an interest in filling all the style boxes. We knew we were good at one thing and one thing only—bottom-up value investing. So we thought it would be an advantage to our investors that when they heard the name "Oakmark," they would immediately associate it with value investing. Unlike the larger firms, our brand name was going to mean something. Our goal was for Oakmark to make the short list when investors asked, "Who has a good value fund?" And it wouldn't matter whether the question was about stocks or bonds, United States or international—Oakmark would be synonymous with bottom-up, long-term value investing.

Oakmark Communication Will Be Educational

Most mutual funds seemed to view shareholder communication as a necessary evil. As such, they allowed legal requirements to dictate how they communicated, writing reports twice a year that commented on the securities that most influenced recent performance. Based on our experience managing portfolios for individuals, we knew that the clients who had the best experience with us—and were our longest-tenured clients—were those who'd taken the time to learn how we thought about investing

and why we expected our investment philosophy to work in the long run. During the inevitable periods of underperformance, those clients were the ones most likely to stay patient. The ones who focused only on short-term performance tended to come and go rather quickly.

With that in mind, we set out to use every opportunity to educate our current and potential shareholders about our investment philosophy and the team we had built. We wrote shareholder letters every quarter, rather than the required six-month interval. Instead of just writing about which stocks we bought and sold, we wrote about why we made those transactions. We made our portfolio managers available to the press, especially for stories about value investing. And we'd go on TV to explain how this strange creature, a value investor, could ignore day-to-day news and fads, instead investing with the expectation that we would keep our positions for about five years. Our goal was to have enough publicly available information that all of our shareholders and potential shareholders could know how we thought, rather than just knowing how we'd performed last quarter. By doing so, we cut down on the number of performance chasers in our Funds, which helped lower the costs created by in-and-out trading.

Oakmark Will Limit Diversification

The average mutual fund owns well over 100 securities. The logic of spreading one's assets across such a large number of securities is consistent with academic teaching. Finance 101 students are taught that diversification is a "free good." Since the market is assumed to be efficient, adding more securities does not lower the return of the portfolio but does lower the risk. The mutual fund industry followed that logic by constructing highly diversified portfolios that minimized the harm any one bad stock could cause. The problem with that reasoning is that its logical extension is that all investors are best served by passively owning a little bit of everything—or, in other words, index funds.

Diversification is only a free good if one cannot identify mispriced securities. Once the concept of mispricing is introduced, diversifying away from undervalued securities reduces a portfolio's expected return. Instead of more diversification always being better, diversification becomes a trade-off: it lowers the risk but at the cost of also lowering expected return. As value investors, we at Oakmark believe we can identify securities that offer unusually favorable returns. We don't want to dilute our best ideas any more than is required to be prudent. We want to strike a balance between the risk we are taking and the incremental return we expect our best ideas to achieve. So instead of over 100 stocks in our Funds, you'll find our diversified Funds have less than half the industry average—around 50 holdings—and that our concentrated Funds have less than half

Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds  December 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

that number—normally about 20. By limiting diversification, we increase the impact our favorite stocks have on our Funds.

Oakmark Managers Will Invest Personal Capital

At most mutual fund companies, the decision to launch a new fund is driven by the marketing department. Based on the types of funds investors are buying, fund companies race to produce new offerings that they believe will successfully attract assets. The problem with that approach is that giving investors what they want, when they want it rarely produces good investment returns.

At Oakmark, the process couldn't have been more different. We started the Oakmark Fund because we wanted to invest our own capital in the same stocks we were purchasing for our clients. We thought that because we wanted to invest our own money that way, we should be able to convince others it was also appropriate for them. And that was the case with each of the seven Oakmark Funds. I'm still surprised by how many mutual fund managers choose to invest most of their personal capital in something other than the funds they manage.

Oakmark Will Strive to Maximize After-Tax Returns

Most services that evaluate mutual funds do so based on pre-tax returns, so it is no surprise that most managers pay very little attention to taxes. The poor track record most funds had with taxes led to the launch of many so-called "tax sensitive" or "tax efficient" funds in the 1990s. The problem was those funds were so focused on minimizing taxes that they sacrificed returns to lower the tax bill.

At Oakmark, we focus instead on maximizing after-tax returns. That's a very different goal than seeking to minimize taxes. If one thinks of pre-tax returns as a donut and the hole in the middle as taxes, we're trying to maximize the size of the donut after the hole has been taken out. During the year, we take steps to lower our shareholders' tax bills without decreasing their pre-tax returns. Because we hold almost all of our positions for more than a year, nearly all of our capital gains distributions qualify for long-term capital gains treatment, which cuts most investors' taxes almost in half. If a holding appreciates to our estimated value in less than a year, we will often drag our feet on the sale, which allows the more favorable tax treatment to apply. Additionally, we actively tax trade our loss positions throughout the year, adding to those we believe are most attractive and trimming the least attractive. Then, after 30 days, when the wash sale clock has elapsed, we reverse those trades to capture the losses. For the long-term investor, this means their investment returns typically exceed their taxable returns. By deferring taxable gains, the power of compounding returns increases.

Where Oakmark Is Today

After 25 years, we've changed very little. The Oakmark brand, as we had hoped, has become joined at the hip with value investing. Investors know that an Oakmark portfolio will be full of securities that are widely considered out-of-favor and that we believe are undervalued. We have received commendations for producing industry-leading shareholder communications. Our portfolios continue to be much more focused in our favorite securities than most in the industry. We continue to personally invest in our Funds, and our tax management boosts after-tax returns. In our president's letter, once each year we voluntarily disclose the total investment of our employees and directors in

our Funds. As stated in that letter this quarter, the portfolio managers and employees of Harris Associates, as well as the Funds' Trustees, have personal investments of over $400 million in our Funds.

This was a combination of attributes we thought should appeal to potential investors. Given a total today of $70 billion of shareholder capital invested in our seven Funds, investors seem to agree. Our team thanks each and every one of you for the confidence you've expressed in us.

Oakmark Fund  December 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

Kevin Grant, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Fund returned 8% during the fourth quarter of 2016, hitting an all-time high NAV and bringing the calendar year to a gain of 18%. These strong results were ahead of the S&P 5001, which was up 4% for the fourth quarter and up 12% for the calendar year. We are very pleased that recent performance showed a substantial reversal from the results reported to you following the fourth quarter of 2015. At that time, we reiterated confidence in our time-tested philosophy, investment process and research team. A big part of our process involves having the patience to wait for the gap between a company's intrinsic value and its stock price to close. While that gap had been frustratingly large over the past couple of years, we maintained high portfolio weightings in the out-of-favor financials, information technology, and energy sectors. At the beginning of 2016, over 60% of the Fund's equity assets were invested in these three sectors, and our long time horizon allowed us to maintain these high conviction levels throughout the year.

Our best contributing sectors for the fourth quarter were financials and industrials. Bank of America and Goldman Sachs were the best individual contributors, returning 42% and 49%, respectively, for the quarter, and the financials sector as a whole returned 19%. Our lowest contributing sectors for the quarter were consumer staples and health care, but our exposure to those sectors was lower than the S&P 500's weightings. Our worst individual securities for the quarter were News Corp and Diageo. For the calendar year, financials and information technology were the best contributing sectors, and our best individual securities were Apache and Cummins (up 46% and 61%, respectively). Our lowest contributing sectors for the calendar year were consumer staples and consumer discretionary (down 1% and up 3%, respectively), and our worst contributing securities for the calendar year were Liberty Interactive QVC and Fiat Chrysler (down 27% and 22%, respectively). Liberty Interactive QVC saw some uncharacteristic product-related revenue pressure, and Fiat Chrysler faced near-term headwinds from currencies and emerging markets. During the quarter, we added new positions in AutoNation, Baxter International and HCA Holdings (see below), and we eliminated positions in Applied Materials, Principal Financial and T. Rowe Price.

AutoNation, Inc. (AN-$49)

AutoNation is the largest automotive retailer in the U.S. The company owns and operates 371 new vehicle franchises through 261 stores, located predominantly in major metropolitan markets. The stock was down 18% in 2016 because investors were disappointed by the company's earnings and were fearful that the auto cycle had reached its peak. The soft earnings were caused by brand-building investments, disruptions from a Takata airbag recall and poor performance in Texas. We are confident that these are short-term setbacks and that AutoNation will be able to rebound. In our view, the brand and

franchise remain strong, and the company's CEO, Mike Jackson, is a proven operator and superb capital allocator. Since Jackson became CEO in 1999, he has opportunistically used share repurchases to reduce the share base by 75%, contributing to a total return to shareholders of 346% (versus 144% for the S&P 500). We believe that paying 11x depressed earnings for an industry leader with such a strong track record is a compelling investment.

Baxter International Inc. (BAX-$45)

Baxter is a collection of disparate health care businesses, which include dialysis consumables, intravenous solutions and surgical sealants. These businesses represent what was left at Baxter following the spinoff of Baxalta in mid-2015. The businesses hadn't been run optimally, and at the time of the spin were only producing 9% margins, which represents less than half of the levels we believe to be achievable. Baxter hired outsider Jose Almeida as CEO in late 2015. Oakmark Fund shareholders might fondly remember Almeida from his successful tenure as CEO of our long-time holding Covidien, where he fixed (and eventually sold) a collection of health care assets that had been spun out from Tyco International. We believe Almeida has the right skill set to improve Baxter's margins and portfolio of assets, and that the company is selling at a large discount to intrinsic value.

HCA Holdings, Inc. (HCA-$74)

HCA is the largest operator of for-profit hospitals and related health care services in the U.S. The company benefits from scale and size advantages, an attractive geographic footprint in higher growth markets, best-in-class management and governance, and an equity-friendly approach to capital allocation. We expect HCA to grow operating income in the mid-single digits and grow EPS5 in the low-double digits over time. Hospital stocks sold off following the presidential election due to concerns that the benefits from health care reform will be lost. We believe that HCA's share price discounts the effects of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Accordingly, the shares are selling below our estimate of intrinsic value.

Oakmark Select Fund  December 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oaklx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Select Fund increased 10% for the quarter, compared to 4% for the S&P 5001 Index. For all of calendar 2016, the Fund increased 15%, compared to a 12% gain for the S&P 500 Index. We're happy to highlight that the Fund hit a new all-time high adjusted NAV this quarter.

As you can see from those numbers, more than all of our 2016 outperformance came from the strong fourth calendar quarter. As always, we invest the Fund's assets where we believe the market is presenting the most compellingly valued opportunities, and thus were 32% weighted in financials and 0% weighted in health care and consumer staples at the start of the fourth quarter. Although those weightings were responsible for some of the Fund's relative underperformance throughout most of 2016, these sector weights proved hugely beneficial in the most recent quarter, producing over 450 basis points of relative performance versus the S&P 500 Index. Our top individual performers for the quarter, each up by at least 20%, were Fiat Chrysler (up 40%) and four financial companies (led by Bank of America, up 42%). Our biggest detractors, FNF Group and Intel, were each only down single-digit percentages.

For calendar 2016, our top performers were Chesapeake Energy (stock and bonds) and LinkedIn. While LinkedIn was bought out soon after our initial purchase, we still own Chesapeake and believe that it remains a very attractive investment, despite its strong performance in 2016. Our largest detractors in the calendar year were Liberty Interactive QVC and CBRE Group. We believe both stocks remain undervalued, and we still own stakes in both companies.

We continue to believe that financial stocks are quite undervalued as well. During the quarter we made a new investment in Ally Financial. Ally was founded nearly a century ago as General Motors Acceptance Corporation. Its purpose then was to provide financing to GM dealers and retail customers. Today, Ally is no longer owned by GM. It serves a wide variety of dealers (including Ford, Chrysler and Toyota), and it is carefully building a consumer franchise. In our view, investors are myopically concerned that the auto business is at a cyclical peak. U.S. auto sales are near record levels, and credit losses are below long-term averages. Some believe Ally's earnings have nowhere to go but down. We believe cyclical pressures will be more than offset by continued internal improvements, such as funding cost reductions (low-cost online deposits grew 19% in the third quarter of 2016) and improving the capital structure. With Ally's stock trading at roughly 68% of tangible book value, we believe Ally is a compelling addition to the Oakmark Select Fund. We didn't eliminate any positions during the quarter and exit 2016 with 20 investments in the portfolio.

Thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your continued investment in our Fund. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2017.

Investor Objectives

Why do you invest at all? What financial goals do you have? What do you want your money to enable in your life? If you are a regular reader of the financial press, you might conclude that most investors in funds or investing products do so to satisfy a competitive desire to "beat the market." Although interesting, we do not believe that this description is accurate. At Oakmark, we have many years of experience working with individual investors, and beating the market rarely shows up on their list of desires. Instead, investors express goals in terms of sustaining a specific lifestyle, affording certain purchases or gifts, or simply providing considerable economic security for themselves and their significant others.

But, you may ask, does "beating the market" play a part in satisfying the kind of financial goals described above? The answer is, "Not really." The market itself is an abstraction generally expressed in the form of an index (e.g., the S&P 5001). Whatever the particular merits of any index, it is only relevant as a measure of value at a particular moment in time for a particular group of businesses. That group of businesses may itself be relevant to you as an investor, but its current price simply identifies what investors in the aggregate are willing to pay for this group. Even in the case of the total market index, which attempts to measure the price of all extant public securities, you still do not have something that is undeniably relevant to the individual investor if the index itself contains many mispriced securities. And, of course, sometimes "beating the market" simply means losing less than the market index—an outcome that few investors find truly satisfying.

We believe that investors should focus first and foremost on their own financial goals and then choose an investment approach that best marries the possibility of meeting those objectives with the investor's personality traits. Most important of these is the investor's ability to tolerate price volatility. Investors with little volatility tolerance should choose an asset allocation and investment managers that have a track record of relatively low volatility. Conversely, investors with great tolerance for volatility can choose an aggressive asset allocation and more volatile funds or instruments. But, in our view, the most important decision for the investor is the appropriate asset allocation. Once that is achieved, the investor must periodically monitor allocations and rebalance when necessary.

The Equity and Income Fund helps manage the asset allocation decision for its clients. We rebalance the Fund based on our understanding of market valuations—within the limits stated in our prospectus, of course. When bond prices are high, as they have been for several years, we own less of them. As interest rates rise and bond prices fall, we increase our fixed income allocation. We do not claim to be able to customize the allocation to the needs of each individual, but history demonstrates

that a portfolio allocated to approximately 60% equities and 40% fixed income instruments should satisfy most investors' desire for solid returns and relatively low volatility.

Even if an investor finds a sensible investment approach and the proper asset allocation, he/she still needs to guard against making emotional investment decisions. "Investor share" is a metric that measures the proportion of a mutual fund's return that investors actually capture, and although this proportion varies from fund to fund, it is oftentimes far below 100%. This typically happens when investors arrive at a fund after it has enjoyed a strong period and then leave when volatility strikes. To avoid this outcome, each quarter we try to communicate clearly what occurred with the portfolio and add to investors' understanding of our thinking. We also provide many other resources on our website that explain the Fund's and the firm's investment philosophy.

In closing this section, we should note that the Equity and Income Fund has done well versus the market since its inception 20+ years ago, but this has been accomplished through its focus on price and value. Outperformance has been an outcome but not a prime objective. We believe that our investors should also focus on developing a portfolio that is right for them and their financial needs. If those needs are being satisfied, one can let the market take care of itself.

A Very Different Year

Last year we began this letter by noting how 2015 had been a "very narrow year." 2016 was anything but! In 2015, a small group of stocks provided the bulk of the market's return, whereas 2016's participation was quite broad. In 2016, the path was far from straight, however. The year began with the worst start ever for U.S. equities, and by mid-February investors wondered whether a new bear market had begun. The markets quickly stabilized and reversed course at that point, however, with the S&P 500 producing positive returns in all but one month, beginning in March. Last year we wrote that "the defining event of the quarter (in financial terms) was the Federal Reserve's decision to increase short term interest rates." Most economists forecasted that the Fed would raise rates several times in 2016, but this was not to be. In fact, we could be writing once again that the defining event of the current quarter was the Fed's decision to increase interest rates for the first time this year, but for the fact of another event—the election. Few pundits projected the election outcome correctly, and fewer still predicted the market's reaction. Since the election, stocks (as represented by the S&P 500) have returned 5% while bonds (as measured by the 10-year U.S. Treasury) have lost 5%. Within the stock market, previously shunned sectors (e.g., financials) have enjoyed new popularity while high-yielding issues have experienced diminished investor interest.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund  December 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

The Equity and Income Fund earned 5% in the quarter, which contrasts to a 1% gain for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index7, the Fund's performance benchmark. For calendar 2016 as a whole, the Fund gained 11%, compared to 7% for the Lipper Index. As always, we are pleased to report that the annualized compound rate of return since the Fund's inception in 1995 is 10% while the corresponding return to the Lipper Index is 7%.

The largest contributors to portfolio return in the quarter were Bank of America, General Motors, Baker Hughes, TD Ameritrade and Comerica. CVS Health, Nestlé, Diageo, FNF Group and Philip Morris International detracted most. It is interesting that the Fund's three consumer staples holdings with dominant international franchises detracted significantly in what was a strong period in the U.S. This reflected dollar strength, comparatively poor results in non-U.S. markets and a general move away from consumer staples stocks. For all of calendar 2016, Bank of America, Glencore, UnitedHealth Group, Dover and Comerica led the contributors while CVS Health, BorgWarner, HSN, Goldman Sachs (sold) and Oceaneering International (sold) detracted most from return.

Transaction Activity

Our transaction activity was modest in the quarter, at least in terms of new equity names or eliminations, which equaled one of each. Relative to fixed income, we increased the Fund's corporate bond allocation as interest rates rose during the quarter. These purchases, however, had only a modest impact on portfolio duration, the measure of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Should interest rates continue to drift upward, we will consider increasing portfolio duration.

The new equity purchase is VWR Corporation, the second largest distributor of laboratory equipment and supplies. Laboratory equipment is a fragmented industry, both in terms of manufacturers and distributors. Of the few larger distributors, VWR stands out for being manufacturer-agnostic because it does not manufacture branded product itself. This position can be advantageous when looking to make "tuck-in" acquisitions of smaller industry players, and growth through acquisitions is an important strategy for VWR. In our opinion, VWR is undervalued given its high returns, low capital requirements and solid cash generation.

The one elimination was Manitowoc Foodservice, the spinoff from Manitowoc Company. When we purchased the pre-spinoff company, we did so believing that the two divisions were separable and that the two parts were worth more than the combined whole. As it happened, company management came to share this point of view and split the company into two parts in March 2016. The Foodservice piece has enjoyed a strong reception in the market and attained our sell target late in the year.

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

A Populism-Inspired Market?

In writing these reports we probably should not ask questions for which we do not know the answer, and we do not in fact know whether political populism has inspired recent stock market gains. Although many prognosticators warned that political trends in 2016 would be problematic for securities markets, in this event stock markets have proven to be quite resilient. As is often said, "correlation does not imply causation," and this could be true here. Perhaps the reaction in the U.S. speaks most clearly to this issue. As the votes were being tallied on election night in November, the overnight futures market indicated that an extreme drop would occur when the market opened on Wednesday. But when the opening bell rang, all was far more orderly, and the market eventually rose significantly during the day. We do not know what to expect with the new administration, but it should be interesting. We do worry that U.S. investors have become too optimistic concerning the possibilities for tax and regulatory relief. We are especially glad to see the effect this optimism has had on the Fund's financial holdings, however. (See the next section for a more detailed discussion)

The Oakmark Global Fund's three-month return was 8%, which compares to the 2% return in the period for both the MSCI World Index9 and the Lipper Global Fund Index10. For all of calendar 2016, the Fund gained 5%, which contrasts to 8% for both the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Fund Index. Since inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 10%, which compares to 4% for the MSCI World Index and 5% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.

The U.S., United Kingdom and Switzerland contributed most to the Fund's return in the quarter while Mexico and China detracted from its return. It is probably easiest to explain the weakness in the Mexican stock market after the U.S. election, given the president-elect's promises to implement new tariffs. The five largest contributors to the Fund's return in the quarter were Bank of America (U.S.), CNH Industrial (U.K.), Citigroup (U.S.), Incitec Pivot (Australia) and Credit Suisse (Switzerland). The Fund holdings that detracted most were Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), Grupo Televisa (Mexico), Baidu (China), Diageo (U.K.) and Hirose (Japan).

The calendar year saw the U.S., the U.K. and South Korea contributing most to investment return while Switzerland, France and Australia detracted most. The leading contributors were CNH Industrial, Bank of America, LinkedIn (U.S.—sold), Itron (U.S.) and Union Pacific (U.S.). The largest detractors were Credit Suisse, Tenet Healthcare, BNP Paribas (France—sold), Incitec Pivot and Grupo Televisa.

Financial Recovery

We have written much in 2016 concerning the financials sector, both because of the Global Fund's large industry allocation and because of the sector's extreme price volatility. By the middle of February, banking industry stocks in both Europe and the U.S. had suffered double-digit price declines as investors fretted over ever-intensifying regulation and subpar economic growth. In the second quarter, U.K. and European bank stock prices plunged after the Brexit vote. The third quarter witnessed a crisis of confidence over Deutsche Bank as investors considered the possibility of contagion from that institution's travails. And for much of the year the world has seen a new phenomenon: negative yields on as much as $13 trillion in outstanding debt (primarily sovereign).

In the fourth quarter, however, the financials sector enjoyed a substantial price recovery. U.S. bank stocks ended the year with positive returns, and European and Japanese shares showed double-digit gains in the second half. What has happened to promote this outcome? To quote the December 30 Financial Times, "One of the main causes for optimism is the prospect of higher interest rates as policy gears are seen switching from monetary to fiscal measures in the coming year. Rising long-term bond yields help banks by boosting their net interest margin—the difference between the rates on their borrowing and lending."11 Another important factor is the perception that the regulatory environment has stopped worsening. It appears that most of the significant bad behavior penalties have now been assessed and that capital ratios are firmly established. Were corporate tax rates to be reduced in the U.S., banks may even start earning more than their cost of capital. We are not so optimistic as to predict that our financial holdings will return to their pre-2008 profitability levels, but at current share prices we believe that the sector is still attractive.

Portfolio Activity

We initiated one new position in the quarter and eliminated one holding. Both issues are U.K.-domiciled entities. We sold our holding in Smiths Group, a conglomerate active in seals (primarily for the oil and gas sector), healthcare, detection and connectors. Smiths' new management team had a strong first year at the helm, highlighted by margin improvement at the detection division, the announced acquisition of Safran's Morpho detection business and a significant de-risking of its U.K. pension plan. We view these developments favorably, as do other investors, and the share price has risen nearly 50% in local currency. However, this increased price more closely

Oakmark Global Fund  December 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

reflects our view of the business' intrinsic value and thus we've found more attractive investment alternatives.

Our "new" purchase is actually a return engagement: Travis Perkins. Travis is the largest supplier of building materials in the U.K., serving both the trade market via its Travis Perkins brand as well as the do-it-yourself market via its Wickes brand. The share price came under considerable pressure following the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union, which we believe provides us with an attractive entry point. Brexit will likely result in a period of slower near-term demand for Travis Perkins, but over the medium term we believe that demand for building materials in the U.K. will grow due to structural shortages of housing stock and infrastructure. We expect Travis will continue to gain market share, given its leading brands and best in class management team.

Although we have repeatedly trimmed U.S. holdings in 2016, the stronger relative performance of U.S. markets has had the effect of keeping the country weight steady. The Fund remains underweight the U.S. relative to its position in the MSCI World Index, and this difference has become more pronounced with the differential in returns in 2016. As always, we do not invest with the benchmark in mind and instead go where we find the most attractive, undervalued equities. Switzerland, the U.K. and Germany are overweight in the Fund versus the index.

Currency Hedges

While the Swiss franc and Australian dollar weakened versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter, we continue to believe they are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 24% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar were hedged at quarter-end.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, outperforming the MSCI World Index's9 2% return. For the calendar year, the Fund returned 10%, outperforming the MSCI World Index's return of 8%. The Fund has returned an average of 8% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5% over the same period.

Bank of America, one of the biggest U.S. banks, was the largest contributor to performance for the quarter, returning 42%. Bank of America's share price reacted positively to third-quarter results that showed strong capital market performance and healthy loan and deposit growth. The election of Donald Trump further boosted Bank of America's stock price amid investors' expectations that a Trump administration would lead to less regulation. Additionally, the president-elect has promised to boost economic growth, which should allow for interest rates to return to more normalized levels and benefit companies in the financials sector. We believe an improving interest rate environment, along with additional expense reductions and continued share repurchases, will drive strong EPS5 growth over the next several years. At its current price, we believe Bank of America remains undervalued.

Danone, one of the largest dairy food producers and bottled water suppliers in the world, was the largest detractor for the quarter, declining 14%. Danone's third-quarter results were weaker than expected given continued destocking in both its Waters and Early Life Nutrition segments. The Waters division is suffering from oversupply as growth normalizes in China. Early Life Nutrition has been hurt by regulatory changes in China since distribution is shifting from indirect to direct. We believe both divisions will continue to be weak in the short term. Additionally, Danone is in the process of acquiring WhiteWave, a U.S.-based dairy food producer, and investors reacted negatively to WhiteWave's third-quarter results, which fell short of expectations. We continue to believe the strategic rationale behind the WhiteWave acquisition is sound. It will enable Danone to integrate fast-growing brands and gain leverage with retailers, which should lead to improved competitive positioning. In December, Danone amended fiscal-year guidance by lowering organic growth but increasing operating margins. The organic growth shortfall is due to weakness in its European Fresh Dairy division, attributed to a shortfall in the Activia relaunch. Management believes a more tailored approach on a country-by-country basis should remedy the shortfall. Although Danone faces some near-term headwinds, we believe it remains an attractive investment for our shareholders.

During the quarter we sold our positions in Daiwa Securities Group and JPMorgan Chase and purchased two new names: Lloyds Banking Group and Citigroup. We have been following Lloyds for some time, and the U.K.'s recent decision to withdraw from the European Union translated to a decline in Lloyds' share price. In our estimation, this price drop greatly exceeded any actual loss of intrinsic value of the company, and we believe Lloyds is undervalued relative to its normalized earnings power. Citigroup's global franchise gives it a unique advantage because it has more than twice as many country banking licenses as its closest competitor. This unique global reach is an attractive asset and difficult to replicate in today's regulatory environment. We believe Citigroup has substantial excess capital, which—combined with its significant deferred tax assets—should give the management team many opportunities to increase shareholder value.

Geographically, 52% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of December 31, while approximately 45% were allocated to equities in Europe and 3% in South Korea.

Although the Swiss franc weakened versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter, we continue to believe the currency is overvalued. As a result, approximately 23% 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. We wish you all a happy and prosperous new year!

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Fellow Investors,

Despite a year that opened extremely weak and could be defined as one which had sharp downward price movements throughout the year, our international and global investment strategies were able to increase value. For the fourth quarter of 2016, both the Oakmark International Fund and the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund built on the strong absolute and relative performance of the third quarter. Please see individual Fund letters for details on performance.

Conventional Wisdom Is Often Incorrect

Going into 2016, our international and global strategies were generally overweight where we found value, particularly with stocks in the financials, industrials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors. We were tremendously underweight in the sectors that were viewed as "safe," such as utilities and consumer staples. We were positioned as such because of valuation differentials. For example, many of the financial stocks in our portfolios were selling at single-digit P/E12 ratios and below their book value.

Because of low/negative interest rates and increasing loan losses in the energy sector, conventional wisdom and many pundits believed that earnings of these companies would be decimated. In fact, there was no wide-spread earnings destruction at all, and because various banks and financials were able to grow their loan books, cut expenses and increase fees, some earnings growth occurred.

We believed that the market would eventually re-price financial businesses once it became quite clear that earnings in this sector were far more resilient than feared. And they did.

It is important to note that simultaneously, the U.S. Federal Reserve began to increase interest rates, which provided better lending spreads and an additional boost to the income statements of commercial banks.

It Is Possible to OVERPAY for Insurance

When one considers the valuation spread between the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors versus consumer staples, it was obvious to us that investors were over-paying for perceived safety. Daimler, a vehicle manufacturer, offers one example. At one point during the year, Daimler traded at just over seven times forward earnings (one year out) with a well-covered 5+% dividend yield. This compared to some companies in the consumer staples sector that traded at over 20 times forward earnings.

From a fundamental value perspective, the valuation spread between the various types of businesses was just too large and presented an exploitable investment opportunity. As value investors, this is our key task: to focus on the fundamental

drivers of long-term cash flows and see through the haze generated by market pundits, who are overly influenced by geopolitical events such as referendums and other elections. We seek to advantage our shareholders by making investment decisions based on a company's ability to generate and sustain a growing cash flow, as opposed to looking for "safe" stocks.

Our view is that these types of macro events continually move share prices. There is never a break from them. We strive to seize opportunities when prices move far greater than our estimate of intrinsic value, which is often the case and was very evident in 2016.

Wishing Our Clients a GREAT 2017!

Last year required an inordinate amount of patience and discipline. I would like to thank all of our clients for generally granting us these two virtues throughout the year. Hopefully this year will deliver similar results without all of the flare. We will continue to do our best to deliver acceptable results. Happy 2017!

The Oakmark International Fund returned 6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index13, which remained flat over the same period. The Fund's calendar-year performance was strong in absolute and relative terms, returning 8% versus the MSCI World ex U.S. Index's return of 3%. 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.

Glencore, one of the world's largest mining companies and commodities traders, was the top contributor to performance for the quarter, returning 24%. Glencore's share price reacted positively to the commodity price rebound, the company's successful debt reduction plan and the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. During the quarter, Glencore completed its sale of non-core assets, raising a total of $6.3 billion in proceeds from all asset disposals. In December, management announced plans to restart its dividend program and return at least $1 billion to shareholders in 2017. We believe management is working to enhance shareholder value, and our investment thesis remains intact.

Grupo Televisa, a media company and the world's largest producer of Spanish-language content, was the largest detractor from performance for the quarter, declining 19%. The U.S. presidential election results prompted an immediate drop in the value of the peso and hurt Televisa's share price. We expect advertising budgets will be under pressure in 2017 given the uncertain environment caused by the U.S. election while advertisers take a wait-and-see approach. Although we expect near-term volatility to continue, we believe Televisa's fundamentals remain strong. Third-quarter results were in line with our expectations and company guidance. Specifically, the company's cable segment and Sky satellite service performed well, growing 12% and 13%, respectively. We believe the company possesses a collection of great assets that the market continues to undervalue, and our investment thesis remains intact.

During the quarter we added three new names to the portfolio: BMW (Germany), Infosys (India) and Sanofi (France). Infosys is the second-largest IT service company based in India and is our first India-domiciled investment. The company primarily serves large corporations, providing a complete suite of IT-related services, including consulting, application development and maintenance, product engineering, and software-related products. Many Infosys clients are located outside of India, with North American companies contributing over 60% of revenues. We believe Infosys will benefit from the increasing complexity of technology and the trend toward outsourcing IT services.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with 76% of our holdings in Europe, 9% in Japan and 4% in Australia. The remaining positions are in the United States, China, Mexico, Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea, India, Taiwan and Israel.

Although the Swiss franc and Australian dollar weakened versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter, we continue to believe they are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 25% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar were hedged at quarter-end.

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

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, solidly outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index16, which declined 3% for the same period. For the year ended December 31, the Fund was up 6% while the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index returned 4%. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9% per year.

A top-performing stock for the quarter was Incitec Pivot, an Australian manufacturer of mining explosives, fertilizers and industrial chemicals. Incitec Pivot's share price reacted favorably following the company's fiscal year earnings report that was released in early November. Overall, these results were in line with our estimates and represent what we believe is solid performance in the face of significant macro headwinds across Incitec's businesses. We met with management in December, and found that their efforts to reduce costs during 2016 were substantive and helped counter tough market conditions that significantly affected their earnings, such as steep price declines for fertilizers. Overall, the company expects its markets to remain challenging in 2017. However, management is on track to deliver additional cost savings to help combat this, and certain markets seem to be improving, including the mining explosives and urea markets. In addition, the company is now in position to harvest the benefits of a period of significant capital investment. Even with the recent share price advance, we believe Incitec Pivot is trading at a substantial discount to the company's true worth.

The largest detractor from performance for the quarter was Aberdeen Asset Management. Based in the U.K., Aberdeen is an international investment management group, managing assets for both institutions and private investors from offices around the world. During the quarter, Aberdeen's share price fell amid concerns that Trump's presidential victory would mean higher interest rates in the U.S., which would lure investors out of emerging markets. While Aberdeen reported a better-than-expected set of fiscal year results at the end of November (due to strong investment returns from a diversified business model and disciplined cost management), profits and revenues were down from the previous year. At this time and as expected, management also confirmed emerging market flows had been disappointing since the U.S. election. We anticipate that 2017 will be challenging for Aberdeen, but management is embarking on an efficiency plan that should generate substantial savings by the end of the year. In addition, company leaders have announced they will cut the dividend and plan to build their excess cash position. We believe both of these actions will benefit the company in the long term.

During the quarter, we initiated one new position in France-based Ingenico Group, a global leader in secure electronic payment solutions. The company provides products and services that include point-of-sale payment terminals, payment software

and mobile e-payment solutions. We eliminated our positions in China ZhengTong Auto Services (China) and Ichiyoshi Securities (Japan) during the quarter. Also in December, the acquisition of gategroup (Switzerland) by Chinese conglomerate HNA Group was completed.

Geographically, we ended the year with 21% of our holdings in Asia, 62% in Europe and the U.K., and 11% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America (Canada and the U.S.) and Latin America (Brazil).

We still maintain hedge positions on two of the Fund's currency exposures. As of the most recent quarter end, the Australian dollar hedge was 10% and the Swiss franc exposure was hedged 23%.

We thank you for your continued confidence and support, and wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2017!

Disclosures and Endnotes

Reporting to Shareholders. The Funds reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports your household receives by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. Call the Funds at 1-800-OAKMARK to request individual copies of these documents. The Funds will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request.

Before investing in any Oakmark Fund, you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, management fees and other expenses. This and other important information is contained in the Funds' prospectus and a Fund's summary prospectus. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing. For more information, please visit Oakmark.com or call 1-800-OAKMARK (625-6275).

The discussion of the Funds' investments and investment strategy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers' research and investment process, and portfolio characteristics) represents the Funds' investments and the views of the portfolio managers and Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser, at the time of this report, and are subject to change without notice.

All Oakmark Funds: Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.

Oakmark, Oakmark Equity and Income, Oakmark Global, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: The Funds' portfolios tend to be invested in a relatively small number of stocks. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the Funds' net asset value than it would if the Funds invest in a larger number of securities. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the Funds' volatility.

Oakmark Select Fund: The stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods.

Because the Oakmark Select and Oakmark Global Select Funds are non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on the Funds' total return, and may make the Fund's returns more volatile than a more diversified fund.

Oakmark Global, Oakmark Global Select, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: Investing in foreign securities presents risks which in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.

The percentages of hedge exposure for each foreign currency are calculated by dividing the market value of all same-currency forward contracts by the market value of the underlying equity exposure to that currency.

The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund invests in medium- and lower-quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher-quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund: The stocks of smaller companies often involve more risk than the stocks of larger companies. Stocks of small companies tend to be more volatile

and have a smaller public market than stocks of larger companies. Small companies may have a shorter history of operations than larger companies, may not have as great an ability to raise additional capital and may have a less diversified product line, making them more susceptible to market pressure.
