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.
"My own thinking has changed drastically from 35 years ago when I was taught to favor tangible assets and to shun businesses whose value depended largely on economic goodwill."
-Warren Buffett1
If you were paging through Value Line2 in February looking for cheap stocks, it would have been easy to skip right past Gartner. Value Line says, "Gartner Inc. is the world's leading information technology research and advisory company..." You would have quickly seen that it is a database-driven, asset-light business that would be expected to command a higher than market P/E ratio.3 Despite the stock falling from $142 to $119, its P/E was still 31 times expected 2018 earnings and its book value was only $2 per share. Gartner didn't look like a value stock and, in fact, it was even included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index.4 But last quarter we bought it for the Oakmark Fund. So, it's fair to ask: has Oakmark changed, or does Gartner somehow meet our value criteria?
A closer look reveals that Gartner stock fell when management opted to substantially increase selling and marketing expenses to pursue accelerated organic growth, which in turn decreased the company's reported earnings. The way GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) works, because the future benefit of a marketing expense is uncertain, the cost is immediately expensed. But at a company like Gartner, these marketing expenses could easily be seen as long-term investments in company growth. That's because a Gartner customer tends to remain with the company for a long timea little more than six years, on average. So we adjusted the sales and marketing expenses to reflect a six-year life, just like GAAP would treat the purchase of a machine that was expected to last six years. With that one adjustment, Gartner's expected EPS5 increased by almost $3. Using our adjusted earnings, which we believe reflect a more realistic view of those intangible assets, Gartner appears to be priced as just an ordinary company. And, as we have said many times, buying an extraordinary company at an ordinary price is value investing at its finest.
Throughout Oakmark's history, we've been on the lookout for situations where GAAP obscures economic value. Though value investing has always implied buying at a discount to value, the early descriptions of value relied more on assets than earnings. In 1934, Ben Graham and David Dodd wrote Security Analysis,6 which was quickly adopted as the Bible of value investing. In it, Graham explains his idea of only investing when he had a "margin of safety:" he only purchases a stock when it is priced at a large discount to a company's intrinsic value. The concept remains a core principle of value investing today, even though the idea is almost 100 years old. Then, influenced by just having been through a depression, a company's intrinsic value was defined as its liquidation value, and Graham proposed the following formula for computing it: start with cash; add accounts
receivables, discounted by 10-25%; add inventory, discounted by 25-50%; add all other assets, discounted by 50-100%; and then deduct all liabilities. A stock passed his margin of safety test only if it sold for a large discount to this estimated liquidation value.
Over the next 40 years, stock prices were generally quite tightly tied to their book values and patient investors could often find companies that were out of favor, trading below estimated liquidation value. It was an asset-heavy economy, which made it appropriate to value businesses based on their tangible assets. In fact, as recently as 1975, 83% of the stock market value of the average company was represented by its tangible book value. In an economy where value was derived from fixed assets, it was hard to maintain competitive advantage: If you earned unusually high returns, others would duplicate your fixed assets and your advantage disappeared. That made it difficult for companies temporarily trading at large premiums to book value to sustain their high stock prices. So, an effective investment approach was to buy the stocks priced at discounts to book value and then patiently wait for reversion to the mean.
But, as the economy has become more asset-light, intangible assetssuch as brand names, customer lists, R&D spending and patentshave become more important. Today, the relative importance of tangible assets compared to intangibles has completely flip-flopped from what it was 40 years ago. Intangibles now account for over 80% of the average company's market value. But much like Graham, GAAP doesn't even attempt to value those assets.
By the early 1980s, the Berkshire Hathaway investment portfolio, managed by Warren Buffett, looked nothing like the low price-to-book investments favored by his teacher Ben Graham. The portfolio included General Foods, RJ Reynolds, Time Inc. and Washington Post Co. When asked about the apparently high prices he paid for those companies relative to their book value, Buffett was fond of saying that their most valuable assetstheir brand nameswere not even on their balance sheets. The Buffett quote above, citing the decreasing importance of tangible assets in determining business value, sounds as timely today as it did when it appeared in Berkshire's 1983 Annual Report. What Buffett figured out earlier than most value investors was that conservative accounting rules overlooked the value of intangible assets. In turn, book value didn't fully reflect the economic value of businesses with strong brands.
For companies in the S&P 5007 today, the correlation between stock price and tangible book value has become quite small, just 14%. This is a very big change from 25 years ago, when that correlation was 71%or 5x stronger than it is now. Unlike 25 years ago, knowing the book value of a company today gives little clue as to its stock price. Investors who have relied primarily on a price-to-book mean reversion strategy have had disappointing performance for the past decade. Some even feel

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
they "are due" for an extended positive run. That would indeed be the case if irrational exuberance were the reason that book value is currently disconnected from stock prices.
But we don't see anything irrational about it. If book value still determined earnings power, we would expect P/E ratios to be as widely distributed as price-to-book ratios. However, that isn't the case. Today, the P/E distribution is narrower than it was 25 years ago. That shows that intangible assets are producing earnings and, therefore, investors have been acting rationally by attributing significant value to them. At Oakmark, we believe that the relative importance of intangible assets is more likely to continue than to reverse. As such, we think a portfolio of strictly low price-to-book stocks will continue to produce disappointing results.
Most value investors have come to realize that although book value can still be a useful metric in certain situations, such as analyzing a bank or a utility, it does not offer much insight for most companies. For this reason, book value is no longer used by most investors as a definitive indicator of economic value. Despite that, in our view, many investors have not yet considered what this means for the income statement. Back when GAAP book value was still closely tied to economic value, a company's annual income statement provided a pretty good approximation of the economic value added in that year. But now that economic value is not closely tied to book value, the income statement no longer provides a reliable indication of the value a company created in a particular year.
Since Oakmark's 1991 inception, we have sought out investments whose economic value was not easily seen in the simple GAAP metrics of net income and book value. Over that time, like Buffett, we've owned a lot of packaged food companies when we thought increased brand advertising was understating earnings. (Interestingly, the opposite condition is present today: Some companies have slashed advertising, increasing their GAAP earnings, but still benefit from historical spending that was previously expensed.) We owned cable TV distributors that reported net losses and negative book value while rapidly increasing their subscribers. (As with Gartner, customer acquisition costs were an immediate hit to their income, but their customers were long-lived.) We owned high-growth biotech companies that were selling at lower P/Es than mature pharmaceutical companiesonce we treated their R&D expenditures as long-term investments.
As intangibles have grown in importance, so has the number of our holdings for which we adjust earnings to better reflect our view of intangible values. That has led Oakmark to invest in more companies generally owned by growth investors, such as Alphabet, Facebook, Gartner, Netflix and Regeneron. The thought process is no different than what led us to own food and cable stocks early in Oakmark's life. Today, it simply applies to more companies.
Regardless of the changing metrics that determine a company's value, the main concepts of value investing are the same today as 84 years ago when Security Analysis was first published:
-Investors still follow fads, get emotional and overreact,
-Which means stock prices sometimes decouple from intrinsic value,
-Allowing patient investors to invest when price is below value,
-Which creates a margin of safety.
So how can investors today determine which mutual funds are rigorously applying a disciplined value investing process and which ones are simply following trends? The relevant metrics for that have evolved, too. Because we rarely find price-to-book a useful statistic for estimating intrinsic value, our portfolios often don't look cheap on that metric. Low P/E ratios are frequently, but certainly not always, an indication of value. Though our portfolios still typically have a lower P/E than the market, we are more frequently investing in "exceptions" where the GAAP P/E looks expensive.
For those "exceptions," true value investors should be able to explain how they're calculating their margin of safety: What are they getting that they don't think they're paying for? As an example, let's look at the largest holding in both Oakmark and Oakmark Select, Alphabet, a stock that is primarily owned by growth managers. Alphabet's 2018 P/E is 26 times consensus estimates, which to us seems to be in the right ballpark given the expected growth from its search business. However, the company's $115 billion in cash, YouTube and other bets (including Waymo), in total, contribute nothing to our estimate of current earnings, despite having tremendous value. That's what we're getting for free, which creates our margin of safety.
At Oakmark, we commit time to writing these pieces because we want to help our shareholders understand how we think about investing. In a world where business value rests primarily on intangible assets, it's getting harder to use a style box to understand a mutual fund's investment approach. That's why it's more important than ever to spend time reading commentaries or watching interviews. They can explain a fund's investment philosophy far better than a price-to-book ratio ever will.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

The Oakmark Fund increased 2.1% for the second quarter, which lagged behind the 3.4% gain for the S&P 500,7 the Fund's benchmark. Rapid corporate earnings growth, combined with stagnant share prices since the beginning of the calendar year, has brought broad market valuation multiples back down to historical levels. We believe equities remain the most attractive asset class, and due to the increased number of undervalued companies with misunderstood intangible assets (see Bill Nygren's market commentary), our research team has produced an impressive number of new investment ideas. The Oakmark Fund has added 10 new names to the portfolio over the past four quarters.
The Oakmark Fund's best contributing sectors during the second quarter were information technology (with double-digit gains from ADP, MasterCard, Apple, Visa, Facebook and Gartner) and energy (helped by rising commodity prices and improving asset productivity). Our lowest contributing sectors were industrials and financials. The Fund's best contributing individual securities were Netflix and Anadarko, both up over 20%, and the worst contributing securities were American Airlines and MGM Resorts International, down 27% and 17%, respectively. American Airlines was weak due to near-term profitability concerns, following a period of rapidly rising fuel costs. During the quarter, we added new positions in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Gartner and Hilton Worldwide Holdings. We eliminated our position in Aflac as the share price approached our estimate of intrinsic value, and we eliminated our position in Harley-Davidson due to deteriorating demand and profitability trends.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY-$55)
Bristol-Myers Squibb is a global biopharmaceutical company with leading franchises in oncology, immunoscience and cardiovascular drugs. Long-time shareholders may recall a successful Bristol-Myers Squibb investment that we sold in 2013. We got another opportunity to own this company during the past quarter when investors became fearful that a competing drug would take share in the cancer market. We believe these fears are overstated because cancer remains a dangerous disease that is difficult to treat. The company's two most valuable drugs Opdivo and Yervoy should continue to grow revenue as they maintain effectiveness with new tumor types. Bristol Myers Squibb also has the most new molecular agents and the highest number of combinations of agents in trials. Moreover, the company's R&D and marketing prowess also make it a desired partner for promising academic and small biotech innovators. Collectively, these assets should assure Bristol-Myers Squibb's oncology leadership for many years. We believe intrinsic value is closer to the $70 level it traded for earlier this year than its more recent price in the low $50s.
Gartner, Inc. (IT-$133)
Gartner is the world's leading provider of information technology research and advice for information technology executives. The company's research reports and benchmarking data are used by information technology executives across industries to make mission-critical decisions with potential multi-million dollar ramifications, and the subscription price represents just a fraction of the typical information technology budget. In other words, Gartner is the Consumer Reports of the information technology industry. However, while the Gartner brand has been among the most recognizable in information technology research for more than 35 years, most sizeable enterprises are still not Gartner subscribers. The company is investing heavily in sales and marketing to grow its customer base and based on the excellent long-term track record of Gartner management, we believe these investments are likely to drive years of double-digit growth. While the company trades at a high multiple of GAAP earnings, that multiple falls significantly after adjusting sales and marketing expenses to account for the multi-year life of new customers. (See Bill Nygren's market commentary). On our adjusted earnings estimates, Gartner's price-to-earnings ratio is in line with the S&P 500. We believe this is a bargain price for a high-return, high-growth business with an excellent management team.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT-$79)
Hilton Worldwide is a high-quality, well-managed company that was the target of a successful leveraged buyout by Blackstone in 2007. We believe the company's transformation into an asset-light, fee-driven business with a more resilient earnings profile is underappreciated. After spinning off most of the company's owned hotels and timeshare businesses early last year, Hilton now generates over 90% of its profits from fees (requiring minimal capital investment) and produces substantial free cash flow (greater than 100% of net income). The company should generate high single-digit operating income growth for several years. We became interested in Hilton after we determined that its competitive moat is widening. The company's unit growth leads the industry and its global pipeline share is almost 22%over four times larger than its current share of existing rooms (approximately 5%). We initiated our position at a particularly attractive price due to the temporary pressure created by HNA's sale of its 26% stake in the company for non-fundamental reasons.

Portfolio Manager

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund declined 0.4%, compared to a 3.4% increase in the S&P 500 Index,7 the Fund's benchmark. Year to date, the Fund declined 4.3%, compared to a 2.7% increase for the S&P 500.
Most of this quarter's underperformance was driven by our consumer discretionary holdings, although the reasons for the decline of individual companies within that sector varied. The largest detractors were American Airlines (27%), MGM Resorts (17%) and Adient (18%). American Airlines shares were hurt by rising oil prices, which we believe will only have a temporary impact on profits as the airline industry adjusts its prices and capacity throughout the rest of this year. During the quarter, MGM modestly lowered its annual profit forecast due to financial issues that we believe are temporary and somewhat immaterial, related to the renovation of the Monte Carlo Resort and a slow resumption of occupancy at the Mandalay Bay Resort, following the tragic shooting. Adient's fundamentals continue to be damaged by a non-core segment, its seating structures business, but its board is acting with appropriate urgency. On the positive side, the largest contributors to performance were Chesapeake Energy (+72%), Apache (+22%) and Weatherford (+46%). Whereas higher oil prices negatively impacted American Airlines, it was a distinct positive for our energy holdings.
We eliminated the final portion of our Harley-Davidson position for reasons discussed in last quarter's letter. We initiated a new position in Regeneron Pharmaceuticalsa biotech company with industry-leading research and development (R&D) productivity and a proven management team. The company is led by its founder Len Schleifer who maintains a culture focused on internal development of novel drugs. Schleifer also holds a significant equity stake in the company. Over the past decade, Regeneron has received approval for six drugs, all of which were developed in-house. Furthermore, Regeneron has a reputation for responsible drug pricing. Recent approvals of some of its new drugs provide a strong path for long-term growth. Meanwhile, its largest drug, Eylea, has additional opportunities for growth and retains patent protection through 2027. Regeneron spends significantly more on R&D than its peers, and, due to several recent drug launches, Regeneron's selling, general and administrative (SG&A) spending is relatively high, too. We believe Regeneron's R&D spending provides a great return on investment, and we
expect launch costs to normalize over time. Although the company's consensus P/E3 multiple appears high, if its R&D and SG&A costs are adjusted to average levels, Regeneron would trade at a low-teens P/E. We believe this is a compelling valuation for a growing business with a strong management team that is aligned with its shareholders.
Thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your continued investment in the Oakmark Select Fund.

Fund Fundamentals
Each year at the end of June, the investment industry experiences a curious phenomenon: the reconstitution of the Russell Indexes. Russell is a large investment industry consultant that began constructing broad market indexes in the 1980s, of which the best known may be the Russell 2000 Index.14 Russell constructs these indexes in an objective and transparent manner, basically using market capitalization as the guide. Over time, approximately $1 trillion has been committed to passively investing in line with the Russell Indexes and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods estimates they are used as benchmarks for $8.5 trillion in managed assets. Rather than changing its indexes every time a company outgrows its classification or ceases to exist, Russell chooses to reconstitute each index once per year at the end of June.
A sort of cottage industry has grown up around these reclassifications. As the end of June nears, investors begin anticipating index changes. This works to push up the prices of companies likely to move into a higher valuation index, while depressing the prices of those likely to move down or out from their current index. This has the effect of making the valuation characteristics of the actual indexes slightly higher than they otherwise would have been if the changes had taken place more organically. In a June 23 article titled "Rise in Passive Funds Sees Tail Wagging the Dog in Index World," Financial Times columnist John Authers notes, "Indices no longer merely measure markets. They move them...Generally, new additions to the Russell 2000 handily beat the market in the days leading up to the reconstitution."15
As we have often written, we fundamental investors are glad that this sort of trading is a regular market feature. We are happy to purchase shares from market participants who are selling a stock due to factors that have nothing to do with the business's intrinsic value. And again to repeat ourselves, we have seldom met the investor whose economic goal was to match or beat an index. One cannot live on relative returns. Investors instead want positive absolute returns like what we strive to obtain for the Equity and Income Fund. Observing non-fundamental activity in the securities market suggests that now would be an appropriate time to review our guiding principles for managing the Fund.
The Equity and Income Fund is a balanced fundi.e., a fund invested in several asset classesthat has the goal of producing income while preserving and growing capital. Over time, the Fund's equity allocation has tended to constitute about 60% of the total portfolio with various types of fixed income investments making up the remainder. Many decades of experience have shown that this 60:40 asset allocation buffers volatility such that investors may adhere to a long-term strategy rather than buckling in times of adversity. As well, this allocation has
proven sufficient to mediate between the need for current income and long-term growth. Many balanced funds have similar asset allocations, so what are the factors that make Oakmark Equity and Income distinctive?
The most distinctive factor for any fund in the Oakmark Family is the investment philosophy that we at Harris Associates have employed for more than 40 years. For any security we ask, "What is it worth?" and "What is its price?" If a security can be purchased at a sufficient discount to our estimate of its value such that we have a margin of safety, we consider it for investment. For our equity investments, we attempt to determine whether the company shows persistent growth in intrinsic value per share and whether its managers think and act like owners and treat their shareholder-partners appropriately.
Our concept of a balanced fund is also somewhat idiosyncratic. In our industry today, you often hear or see the word "sleeves." Many target-date funds, for example, are composed of independent asset pools (sleeves) that are mixed together in whatever way the investment manager thinks is appropriate to achieve a particular purpose. Such a fund might be categorized as "balanced," since it, like our Fund, holds multiple types of assets. We, however, understand a balanced fund to be an integrated portfolio where every holding competes for space with every other holding, actual or potential. We do not have an equity sleeve and a bond sleeve. Instead, the portfolio asset allocation itself will fluctuate depending on our ability to populate the portfolio with dominant investments. Although 60:40 is the typical ratio for the equity/fixed income allocations, equities have at times comprised as much as 75% and as little as 45% of the total portfolio.
Other Distinguishing Characteristics:
Our investment horizon is very long term. The ability to think and act with a long-term horizon is a great advantage. We can also be relatively inactive for long periods. In our view, sometimes the best course of action is to do nothing.
The Fund's diversification is an outcome of our bottom-up investing process. Our Fund is typically more focused in its holdings than other balanced funds are. Outstanding investment opportunities are scarce, in our opinion.
Although income is always desirable, value is determinative. Income itself is a factor to which we assign value, and like other characteristics, it can be over-priced or undervalued. We have generally found income to be overvalued in the current decade and this has significantly influenced our approach to investing in fixed income securities.
Quality, like income, is a factor to which we ascribe value. We can and will own low-grade fixed income investments in

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund June 30, 2018
Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
the Fund, but only when we perceive their potential return to be competitive with equities. Similarly, with highly leveraged equities, we demand a substantially higher discount to value before investing.
We are relatively indifferent to the size or domicile of an opportunity. We have the ability to invest the Fund in small-cap, medium-cap and large-cap company shares, and we can invest as much as 35% of the portfolio in international securities.
Finally, benchmarks do not drive our investing. Investors in the Fund should expect results to differ from benchmarks, especially over short time periods.
For investors in mutual funds, the question of "fit" is of paramount importance. Investors make the best decisions when they have invested with funds whose style and philosophy mesh well with their own character and needs. Perhaps the most useful advice we can give fund investors is that they should often check to see if they understand their funds and, if so, consider whether they still fit.
Quarter Review
The Equity and Income Fund earned 0.2% in the quarter, while the Lipper Balanced Fund Index,12 the Fund's performance benchmark, gained 1.1%. (Although we are not benchmark driven, we are required to have one.) For the calendar six months, the Fund lost 1.4% compared to a 0.1% increase for the Lipper. The Fund's nine-month fiscal year return was 2.8%, compared to 3.7% for the Lipper. The annualized compound rate of return since the Fund's inception in 1995 is 10.1%, while the corresponding return to the Lipper Index is 6.9%.
General Motors, UnitedHealth Group, Mastercard, National Oilwell Varco and Foot Locker led the list of contributors for the quarter. The largest detractors were TE Connectivity, Philip Morris International, Arconic, Bank of America and CommScope Holding. Short-term earnings concerns hurt Philip Morris International, Arconic and CommScope, while banks in general retreated as the fixed income yield curve flattened. Trade war fears also roiled markets and individual stocks. For the calendar six months, Mastercard, National Oilwell Varco, UnitedHealth Group, HCA Healthcare and Foot Locker contributed most while Arconic, Philip Morris International, Nestlé, CVS Health and Citigroup were the biggest detractors from return. For the nine months of the Fund's fiscal year, Mastercard, Bank of America, UnitedHealth Group, Foot Locker and National Oilwell Varco led the contributors list and Philip Morris International, CVS Health, Arconic, Baker Hughes and Oracle detracted.
Transaction Activity
During the quarter, the Fund added three new positions and exited four holdings. The three new positions are Apergy, American Airlines and Charter. Apergy was obtained through a spin-off from long-time holding Dover. Apergy provides equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas. The company's two main product segments manufacture polycrystalline diamond cutters and equipment for artificial lift, both of which are crucial for non-conventional exploration and production. Apergy has generated free cash flow throughout the downturn and we expect a rapid recovery
in earnings and free cash flow as North American drilling activity rebounds. Trading at less than 15x our estimate of normalized earnings per share, this high-quality equipment company offers an attractive valuation, in our view.
Our investment in American Airlines is predicated on an evolution and improvement in the industry. Historically, airlines have not made for good investments, despite the usefulness of their services. At issue was the lack of pricing power and poor corporate cultures. However, after years of consolidation, capped by the merger of US Airways and American Airlines in 2013, the industry is now becoming more mature and rational. The three major hub-and-spoke carriers each have strength in their respective hubs and their management teams are all behaving in a healthier manner in terms of capacity additions and capital allocation. Our choice in the sector is American Airlines, due to the unusually large opportunity still in front of the company as it finishes off its merger integration. Also, CEO Doug Parker is in the process of improving the culture and restoring credibility with employees. Parker believes that American Airlines has around $5 billion of pre-tax earnings power and he has bought back 37% of the company's shares since the merger closed. With the stock selling for a single-digit multiple of normal earnings power, we believe that it is an attractive investment.
Charter gives us the opportunity to invest in what we believe is a strong business with exceptional management at an attractive price. Because of their valuable infrastructure, U.S. cable companies are benefiting from strong demand for high-speed internet access. In many markets, Charter has the only fiber-rich network capable of providing consumers with the high internet speeds they demand. We believe that new competitors are unlikely to enter the market as they will have to invest massive amounts of capital for fractional penetration. This should provide a long runway for continued growth at Charter. The stock has lagged behind the broader market as investors appear to be frustrated with the pace of operational improvement at recently acquired Time Warner Cable. Our experience investing in turnarounds reminds us that it takes more than a couple of quarters to make meaningful progress. We take a more positive, longer term view of the business, and believe Charter is valued at a discount to peer companies and private market transactions.
Besides being an attractive investment, the purchase of Charter also allowed us to lower our capital gain position as we sold Liberty Broadband at a loss. The main asset of Liberty Broadband is Charter stock, so we were able to effectively keep our economic position in Charter, while recognizing a tax loss. We have always actively managed the tax position of the Fund with a goal of maximizing after-tax returns.
The four positions eliminated during the quarter were Fidelity National Financial, Jones Lang LaSalle, and Liberty Broadband A and C shares. Both Fidelity National Financial and Jones Lang LaSalle were strong performers and reached our sell targets. As described above, the two classes of Liberty stock were sold to realize tax losses and we used the proceeds to purchase Charter stock.
As always, we thank our shareholders for entrusting their assets to the Fund and welcome your questions and comments.

Private Versus Public Equity
A recent Wall Street Journal article discussed the current strength of the private equity market where secondhand stakes in private equity funds are being sold for 10-35% premiums (as opposed to the more typical discount) to most recent portfolio valuations.18 This had us thinking, wouldn't it be nice...
As you know, our process applies a private equity approach to public marketslike private equity, we value businesses based on our estimate of their intrinsic value, buy them at a substantial discount and then later sell when they are fully valued. Unlike private equity, however, we don't mark our portfolio companies based on where peers trade or our estimate of the long-term fundamental outlook of the businesswe mark according to current public stock prices no matter how different than an arguably better representation of fair value. (If we did, the value of the Fund would be far higher than the current stock prices dictate.) Furthermore, we give daily liquidity to our investors and we certainly never demand a premium to invest in our portfolio. So for instance, if an investor were to buy a portfolio of publicly traded businesses valued at 60 cents on the dollar and that portfolio were to get marketed to fair value and sold for an additional 20% premium, the return would be an instantaneous 100%. Wouldn't it be nice, indeed!
Performance
The Oakmark Global Fund's three-month return declined 0.3%, compared to a 1.7% return for the MSCI World Index16 during the period and the Lipper Global Fund Index's17 gain of 0.4%. Calendar year to date, the Fund returned 2.9%, versus a 0.4% return for the MSCI World Index and 0.7% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. Since inception, the Fund has achieved a compound annual return of 10.3% vs. 4.8% for the MSCI World Index and 5.5% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.
Holdings in the U.S., Mexico and China contributed the most to the Fund's return in the quarter, while holdings in Germany, the U.K. and Switzerland were the largest detractors. The five largest individual contributors during the quarter were Tenet Healthcare (+38%), Mastercard (+12%), Grupo Televisa (+19%), General Motors (+9%) and Alphabet (+8%). The five largest detractors were Daimler (21%), CNH Industrial (13%), TE Connectivity (9%), Arconic (26%) and Credit Suisse Group (8%).
Calendar year to date, holdings in the U.S., China and Mexico contributed the most to the Fund's return, while holdings in the U.K., Germany and Switzerland were the largest detractors.
The leading contributors were Tenet Healthcare (+121%), Mastercard (+30%), Interpublic Group (+18%), National Oilwell Varco (+21%) and Under Armour (+58%). The leading detractors were Daimler (21%), CNH Industrial (20%), Arconic (37%), Credit Suisse (14%) and Liberty Global, Class C (21%).
Portfolio Activity
We initiated two entirely new positions during the quarterSouthwest Airlines and Reckitt Benckiserand eliminated only one holding, Phillips, due to its price. We also added Liberty Broadband and sold our high-cost Charter shares to generate a tax loss. This enabled us to maintain exposure to Charter as Liberty Broadband has the preponderance of its value in Charter shares.
Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV)
LUV is the largest and most profitable airline in the U.S. with 24% total domestic market share and 66% share in its top 100 city pairs. LUV has been profitable for 45 consecutive years, despite competing in an industry that has been littered with bankruptcies. The company has been on Fortune's list of "World's Most Admired Companies" every year for nearly a quarter of a century. LUV's brand recognition and strong customer loyalty stem from its outstanding service, efficient operations and refusal to nickel-and-dime on fees. The company's above-average operating margins are enabled by a lower cost model compared to network carriers. LUV has a strong balance sheet and returns most of its free cash flow to shareholders through significant share repurchases and dividends. Despite these positive characteristics, we were able to purchase the shares at only a mid-single digit multiple of normal operating income due to short-term pressure from the run-up in fuel prices and the suspension of marketing following the recent passenger fatality.
Reckitt Benckiser (RB)
RB is a leading global consumer products company with $15 billion of sales in 2017 and strong brands in health, infant nutrition, home care and hygiene. RB has successfully expanded its presence in high-value health products categories and increased its operating profitability via premiumization and excellent cost discipline. RB's historical best-in-class performance can in part be attributed to its significant insider ownership: the CEO and CFO are required to own shares worth more than 40 times and 20 times their salaries, respectively. RB's share price recently declined due to transitory factors as well as weakness in its relatively small home care division.
See accompanying Disclosures and Endnotes on page 47.
Oakmark.com 25
Oakmark Global Fund June 30, 2018
Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
Management is restructuring the home care division to provide greater accountability and may sell the division to an owner who can extract greater operational synergies. Moreover, many of the transitory factors affecting the share price are expected to disappear in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, in our view, the current share price does not reflect the company's strong underlying value or its potential for increased profits, so we initiated a position in RB during the past quarter.
We thank you for being our partners in the Oakmark Global Fund, and, as always, we invite your comments and questions.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund declined 2.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the MSCI World Index,16 which returned 1.7%. However, the Fund has returned an average of 8.2% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5.8% over the same period.
Apache, a global oil and gas exploration company, was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 22%. Rising oil prices during the quarter helped boost the company's share price. Additionally, shares reacted positively to an increase in full-year production guidance and to first-quarter results, which beat production estimates. Apache's well results have met and, in some cases, exceeded our expectations. Overall, we believe that the company's valuation remains attractive, offering a compelling reason to hold the stock.
Daimler, the company best known for its passenger car business under the Mercedes-Benz brand, was the largest detractor for the quarter. During the quarter, Daimler issued a profit warning and indicated that it expects this year's group EBIT to be slightly below 2017's level. The company has faced some near-term challenges due to higher raw material costs, adverse effects from currency movements and minor difficulties with U.S. suppliers. Management largely mitigated these issues through cost cutting. However, Daimler now faces a threat of a tariff on vehicles imported from Europe to the U.S. The company also expects that reciprocal tariffs between the U.S. and China will impact its U.S.-built SUVs intended for delivery to China. Daimler's management is evaluating methods to redirect auto shipments into China from other geographies as a possible work-around strategy to avoid tariffs. There is no certainty that tariffs will be imposed; the matter remains fluid. Emissions concerns have also put pressure on Daimler's share price. To date, the company has recalled 750,000 vehicles to address emission issues, but has paid no fines. The company continues to insist that it did not illegally use its cars' software to cheat emissions tests. On a positive front, Daimler held a capital markets day for the trucks division that highlighted the opportunity for margin expansion and management continues to explore the potential for separation of the group via Project Future. Despite the current geopolitical noise, Daimler still meets our operational performance expectations and is trading at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
Geographically, 54% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S. companies as of June 30, while approximately 46% were allocated to equities in Europe and the U.K.
We continue to believe the Swiss franc is overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 21% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.
We thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and confidence.

Fellow Shareholders,
This quarter, both international Funds delivered weak results. The Oakmark International Fund lost 5.0% and underperformed its benchmark,19 whereas the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund dropped 0.6%, though it outperformed its benchmark20 for the quarter. In fact, after a strong start to 2018, international equity markets have weakened throughout the year based on factors that I will discuss below. Please see the company-specific reports for more details on Fund performances.
The Return of Instability
The VIX Index,21 a common measure of market instability, spiked dramatically in the month of February. All kinds of macro/geopolitical factors led to this change of environment. Also of note, markets had been unusually quiet for the better part of two years, with the exception of the spike in volatility caused by Brexit in the summer of 2016. Other than that, perhaps, it had been too quiet for too long.
Early in the year, headlines were consumed with news of North Korea testing intercontinental ballistic missiles that could have the capacity to deliver nuclear warheads. As the year progressed, confidence in the economic recovery in Europe came into question as well. Then came political instability in Italy as a result of an election that bore no outright winner, leading, after months of negotiations, to the formation of a government that is a bit EU unfriendly. The rhetoric coming out of the new government's formation spooked the European markets and the euro, which severely negatively impacted prices of financial service companies with Italian exposure. This hit the Oakmark International Fund particularly hard, as we have stakes in both the Italian bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, and the French bank, BNP, which has a large business in Italy. Additionally, we are overweight in the euro area, and the weakness in the euro currency hurt our performance. Despite the rhetoric out of the politicians in Italy (note: Italy has never been known for political stability with 66 different governments since 1945), we don't believe the sharp fall in share prices of high-quality financials like Intesa and BNP is at all warranted or matched by a similar decline in business value. As happens often during market instability, an exploitable value gap is created by the fall in "price" that is inconsistent with changes in business value.
Of Trade Disputes, Disagreements and "Wars"
Another factor negatively impacting short-term performance has been the threat by the U.S. to use tariffs and other barriers to correct what is believed by the U.S. to be a global trade system that is biased against the U.S. These threats and, to some degree, actual implementation of tariffs on certain metals have
caused retaliation by other countries, thereby triggering a disruption of global trade. I have mentioned in the past and truly believe that the restriction of goods, services and capital from freely moving across sovereign states is detrimental to global economic growth. The purpose of the U.S.'s confrontational approach is to "level the trade playing field" and hopefully this will be the outcome in the end. But if this objective is not reached, or if a global trade war escalates and persists, growth will certainly be negatively impacted and will hurt the earnings of many of the companies in which both Funds are invested.
One of the sectors feeling the brunt of the fall in prices has been the European auto sector. Despite some positive factors, such as recent weakness in the euro and lower Chinese tariffs on cars imported from Europe, the recent threat of tariffs on German cars being exported to the U.S. and Chinese tariff threats for German-badged cars made in the U.S. but exported to China have pummeled the share prices of two of our auto holdings, BMW and Daimler (parent of Mercedes). Additionally, the threat of tariffs on U.S. agriculture products has hurt agriculture equipment maker CNH. Clearly, if tariffs are implemented and stay for the long term, these companies will decline in intrinsic value. However, keep in mind that free trade is not "zero sum," and it would be difficult to imagine that parties will be unable to find a way to iron out differences, as it will be beneficial to all involved to do so.
Despite all of the geopolitical uncertainty that has hit where we are exposed, I am quite confident that this environment is providing opportunity. It is very difficult to imagine, for example, a country like Italy leaving the eurozone and, thus, the euro

currency, given its high level of national debt and what this exit would do to Italy's interest rates and payments. Though it is possible for a trade war to persist, I feel it is unlikely given that national self-interest of all involved would actually be harmed by this event. As such, we are still quite confident in our business valuations and see opportunity with the decline in international share prices.
We are appreciative of your patience during this volatile period and believe that this is another somewhat typical period of short-term share price weakness. Sadly, share price movements are not always positive! But we will keep looking for opportunities when changes in price do not match changes in value.

Oakmark International Fund June 30, 2018
Portfolio Manager Commentary
David G. Herro, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakix@oakmark.com
Michael L. Manelli, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakix@oakmark.com
The Oakmark International Fund declined 5.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index,19 which declined 0.8% over the same period. However, the Fund has returned an average of 9.9% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6.1% per year over the same period.
Experian, a leading worldwide credit bureau, was the top contributor to performance for the quarter. Investors were pleased with Experian's full fiscal-year results, as its revenue growth and operating profit margins were in line with market expectations. Fiscal-year organic growth was driven by the North American B2B segment and picked up substantially in the fourth quarter due to structural demand for data and analytics, coupled with new product introductions. Management is expecting continued organic growth in the 6-8% range over the next three years. Experian is gaining market share in the core North American consumer credit market after combining its credit services and decision analytics businesses, thereby providing a greater value-added solution to its clients. Management continues to be mindful of shareholder returns as evidenced by the new share repurchase program of up to $400 million. We believe Experian is an excellent business with good returns and strong free cash flow conversion that trades at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
Daimler, the company best known for its passenger car business under the Mercedes-Benz brand, was the largest detractor for the quarter. During the quarter, Daimler issued a profit warning and indicated that it expects this year's group EBIT to be slightly below 2017's level. The company has faced some near-term challenges due to higher raw material costs, adverse effects from currency movements and minor difficulties with U.S. suppliers. Management largely mitigated these issues through cost cutting. However, Daimler now faces a threat of a tariff on vehicles imported from Europe to the U.S. The company also expects that reciprocal tariffs between the U.S. and China will impact its U.S.-built SUVs intended for delivery to China. Daimler's management is evaluating methods to redirect auto shipments into China from other geographies as a possible work-around strategy to avoid tariffs. There is no certainty that tariffs will be imposed; the matter remains fluid. Emissions concerns have also put pressure on Daimler's share price. To date, the company has recalled 750,000 vehicles to address emission issues, but has paid no fines. The company continues to insist that it did not illegally use its cars' software to cheat emissions tests. On a more positive front, Daimler held a capital markets day for the trucks division that highlighted the opportunity for margin expansion and management continues to explore the potential for separation of the group via Project Future. Despite the current geopolitical noise,
Daimler still meets our operational performance expectations and is trading at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
During the quarter, we added two new names to the portfolio: Alimentation Couche-Tard (Canada), the largest independent operator of fuel and convenience stores in North America; and Reckitt Benckiser (U.K.), a large global consumer products company.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 81% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 4% in Japan and 2% in Australia. The remaining positions are in South Africa, the U.S., India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Mexico, Canada, China and South Korea.
We continue to believe the Swiss franc is overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 20% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.
Thank you for your support!

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return includes change in share prices and, in each case, includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. The investment return and principal value vary so that an investor's shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance of the Fund does not reflect the 2% redemption fee imposed on shares redeemed within 90 days of purchase. To obtain the most recent month-end performance, please visit Oakmark.com.

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund June 30, 2018

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund declined 0.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, slightly outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index,20 which declined 0.9% for the same period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an annualized average return of 9.5% per year.
The largest contributor to the Fund for the quarter was U.K.-based IWG, a global flexible workplace provider. IWG's share price soared in May, following news it had received three separate indicative takeover proposals. The three prospective buyers were given until June 8 to announce a firm intention to make an offer. However, since the May announcement, one of the firms has walked away from the takeover and two new suitors have entered the picture. At the request of IWG, the deadline for offers from these remaining firms has been extended by the U.K. takeover panel twice and the deadline is now July 21. The company currently trades at an attractive discount to our estimate of its underlying value, given its strong returns and attractive growth opportunities. We continue to monitor the takeover situation closely and find IWG to be a compelling opportunity even with the recent share price increase.
The largest detractor from performance for the quarter was Italian-based Azimut Holdings. Azimut offers financial and investment management services through financial consultants in northern and central Italy. In May, the Timone Fiduciaria (a trust composed of Azimut employees) issued a press release indicating that it intended to proceed with its previously announced plan to increase its current 15% stake in the company by up to an additional 10%. In June, the deal completed and the Timone Trust raised enough capital to increase its stake in Azimut to 24%, a transaction which we viewed very favorably. However, investors were displeased with the results from Azimut's first-quarter earnings report, including selling, general and administrative expenses that were on pace to exceed our estimate for the full-year period. Additionally, the recent Italian elections created uncertainty over investor confidence, which in turn affected Azimut's cash flows and asset performance. Despite the recent share price weakness, our investment thesis for Azimut remains intact.
We initiated positions in two European-based holdings this quarterISS and Duerr. Denmark-based ISS is a global provider of outsourced facilities management services, including catering, cleaning, facility management and property services, directly operating in 44 countries and with the ability to serve more than 70 countries. German-based Duerr is a global mechanical and plant engineering firm consisting of five main divisions. While new to the Fund this quarter, Duerr was previously held in the Fund from approximately 2007 to 2013. Since we last owned the stock, the company completed a value-accretive takeover in October 2014 of HOMAG Group AGthe world's largest maker of wood processing machines for wood-based furniture. We eliminated
positions in Amplifon (Italy), ALS Limited (Australia) and QIAGEN (U.S.) during the quarter.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 15% of our holdings in Asia, 69% in Europe and the U.K., and 9% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 4% in North America (Canada) and 3% in Latin America (Mexico and Brazil).
We continue to believe the Swiss franc and Norwegian krone are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged 19% of the Fund's franc exposure and 26% of the krone exposure.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

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 (625-6275) to request individual copies of these documents. The Funds will begin sending individual copies 30 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 and Oakmark Equity and Income Funds: 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 Funds' 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.
