Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Oakmark Funds' annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on Oakmark.com, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you hold your shares directly with the Funds, by calling 1-800-OAKMARK (625-6275) or visiting Oakmark.com.

 

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you hold your shares directly with the Funds, you can call 1-800-OAKMARK (625-6275) to let the Funds know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds you hold directly or all Funds you hold through your financial intermediary, as applicable.

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.

OAKMARK FUNDS



Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The following table provides information about actual account values and actual Fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at March 31, 2019, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the "Actual—Expenses Paid During Period" column shown below.

Prior to December 3, 2018, shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, invested for 90 days or less, may have been charged a 2% redemption fee upon redemption.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for shares of each Fund based on actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or actual expenses shareholders paid for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical—Expenses Paid During Period" column of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

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.

"I see trees of green, red roses too, I see them bloom for me and you, and I think to myself what a wonderful world."

"It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life."

-Weatherman Phil Connors played by Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"

Turn on the TV today, and on one news channel, a Democratic spokesperson is saying how stupid the Republicans are, and on the other, a Republican is saying the same about Democrats. The political division is as stark as I've ever seen. And it's affecting investor outlooks for the economy and the stock market. A decade ago, it seemed like 40 percent of the population was reluctant to believe that President Obama could lead the country out of the Great Recession, and today, it seems like 40 percent don't want to believe that the economy has grown even faster under President Trump. At Oakmark, we take the view that economic forces are stronger than political ones, which gives us the luxury of largely ignoring politics when making long-term forecasts for the businesses we own.

For those who believe political forces trump those that are economic (pardon the pun), political beliefs form the foundation for expectations regarding the economy and the stock market. So, like the news channels, a typical CNBC panel has one investor projecting a strong stock market due to the benefits of lower corporate taxes and another projecting a weak market because of tariffs that will reduce global trade. We've heard the partisan talking points so many times that we could finish their sentences.

In the past two quarterly commentaries, I've focused on the reasons our portfolios underperformed in 2018 and why we were, and still are, excited about the values in our portfolios in 2019. But as we discussed those commentaries with shareholders, we learned that they were struggling with a more basic question: "Why should we even invest in stocks?"

After a recent CNBC interview where I outlined our positive long-term case for equities, an investor protested, "Of course you're bullish; you've always been bullish on the stock market." And that's largely true. Our position at Oakmark, consistent with historical returns by asset class, is that stocks will produce the highest long-term returns. Therefore, the only market timing that investors can reliably benefit from is periodic rebalancing—moving portfolios back to their target asset allocations after the market has moved them away. But the investor's comment implied that we deserve no credit for being positive on the long-term outlook for stocks unless we are also sometimes negative.

Standard and Poor's has performance data going back to 1926—first, as the S&P Composite of 90 stocks, and, since 1957, the S&P 5001, which has become the standard measure of stock market performance. Since 1926, stocks have produced a positive return in nearly three-quarters of years—73%, to be exact.

Consider a gambling analogy: A roulette wheel has 18 black and 18 red numbers, so after enough spins, each color comes up equally. If an "investment advisor" was always suggesting to invest in black, it would be fair to be dismissive of that advice. But what if a roulette wheel had 26 black numbers and only 10 red, and the payout was the same on both colors?

The roulette ball randomly landing on red one-quarter of the time wouldn't mean the advisor should suggest investing in red one-quarter of the time. The right advice would be to invest in black as often as the casino would allow. Yet despite the stock market performing like the lopsided roulette wheel, investors, advisors and the media still create a constant flow of bearish advice, saying that now is the time to bet red because the market is going to decline.

Let's go deeper into the 93 years of S&P return data and take the perspective of a truly long-term investor. Ignore politics, next week's Fed meeting and first quarter's slowing earnings growth, and instead look at investing for real world, long-term personal financial needs. Consider a young couple who is thinking of having children and saving for college, or imagine a 40-year old worker saving for retirement. These are goals that require a 25-year timeframe. So let's look past the short-term noise and examine stock market performance over that period.

If we consider an investment at the beginning of each year, 93 years of data creates 69 twenty-five year periods to examine. Investors in January of 1929 fared the worst, immediately enduring four consecutive down years (an event which, thankfully, has not been repeated), resulting in their initial capital declining by nearly two-thirds. But by the end of 1953, those investors not only recouped their losses, but amassed more than four times their initial investment. And remember, that was the worst 25-year period. The median result of buying and holding for 25 years was a 12-fold increase in capital, the mean was almost 16-fold and the best, with an initial investment in 1975, ended with more than 53 times the original capital.

Despite those amazing numbers, market timers consistently try to guess when to sell equities. To us, that's a losing battle given the market had a positive return about three-quarters of the time. One of the arguments we hear for selling stocks today is that it has been "too good" since the market bottom in 2009. According to that version of history, investors who enjoyed a decade-long rally without having to endure a bear market have become oblivious to the risks of owning equities and are ill-prepared for an inevitable downturn. This thinking doesn't influence our

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

investment decisions, but it's something we hear so often, I think it is worth addressing.

Market historians generally define a "correction" as a 10% decline in the S&P 500 and a "bear market" as 20%. Using those definitions, a correction occurs about once every two years and a bear market every five years. A 10-year run without a bear market is nearly unprecedented, so they believe we are due.

But have investors really enjoyed 10 consecutive years of smooth sailing? In 2011, the S&P 500 lost 19.4% from its close on April 29 to its close on October 3. The decline was just a fraction of a percent short of meeting the standard definition of a bear market. But from the intraday2 high in May to the intraday low in October, the loss was 21.2%. Additionally, over 50% of the stocks in the S&P 500 declined by over 20%, and small-cap stocks performed even worse. To most investors, it seemed like a bear market.

Last year, the S&P 500 lost 19.8% from September 20 through Christmas Eve, and measured from September's highest intraday peak to December's lowest intraday trough, it lost 20.2%. As in 2011, more than half of the stocks in the S&P 500 lost over 20% of their value, and again, small caps performed even worse.

When the historians go to the replay booth, they might decide we had two bear markets over this decade, which would be consistent with history. But whatever labels they use doesn't really matter. I've been in the investment business for 38 years, and those steep declines felt like bear markets to me. Further, mutual fund investors behaved as they typically behave in bear markets: Instead of rebalancing—buying stocks to restore their equity allocation—they sold stocks that had already declined, further reducing their exposure to equities. Granted, it wasn't as bleak as the bear market of 2008-09, and investors didn't redeem their funds as aggressively. But just as a normal recession isn't as deep as the Great Recession, a normal bear market isn't as severe as was 2008-09. Have times been "too good" for the past decade? We sure don't think so.

Spring is a great time to be in Chicago. Trees turn green, baseball returns to Wrigley Field and unlike Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day," we realize the long grey winter isn't going to last forever. At Oakmark, we don't have an opinion about how equities will perform this year, if a recession will start or if the political parties will produce pro-growth candidates for 2020. As long-term investors, we don't think it matters. P/E ratios3 look to be in a normal range and GDP doesn't look extended relative to its trend line. That makes it hard to argue that equities are crazily priced, and gives us confidence that returns in the future should rhyme with the past. We fully expect that investors who buy equities in 2019 and hold them for 25 years will look back and be pleased with their decision.

Oakmark Fund  March 31, 2019

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

Kevin Grant, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

After a very difficult 2018 for the Oakmark Fund and the S&P 5001, the market shrugged off many of the uncertainties surrounding interest rates, a trade war and slowing global growth during the first quarter of 2019. For the first quarter, the Oakmark Fund was up 13%, which trailed the S&P 500's 14% gain. Despite this near-term bounce back, we continue to believe that our portfolio of stocks remains attractively valued, following a period in 2018 in which stock prices underperformed business fundamentals. As always, our investment process focuses on long-term business value and is not influenced by short-term volatility in share prices.

During the quarter, we added two new names to the portfolio (see below) and we eliminated positions in Aon, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Diageo, Flex Ltd. and Unilever. We generally sell stocks when they appreciate toward our estimate of intrinsic value or when new information proves our investment thesis to be incorrect. This quarter, we had some of each. Diageo outperformed the S&P 500 in 2018 and year to date in 2019, and we sold our position when the share price approached our estimate of intrinsic value. Aon and Unilever were also sold as they approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We sold Flex after the company announced disappointing progress in its consumer electronics segment and the termination of its partnership with Nike. These developments lowered our estimate of intrinsic value, making the stock's return potential less competitive with the rest of the portfolio and other potential additions. Bristol-Myers was sold after the company announced an acquisition that we believe was sub-optimal, signaling a reduction in the value of their core business.

Our best contributing sectors during the first quarter were financials and information technology, which were the two largest sectors in our portfolio. General Electric and Netflix were our best individual contributors for the quarter with total returns of 39% and 33%, respectively. After a long period of disappointing results at General Electric, we were pleased to see the new management team take steps to improve the company's balance sheet and remove additional layers of uncertainty. Our lowest contributing sectors for the quarter were health care and consumer staples, and our worst contributing individual securities were CVS Health and Qurate Retail with returns of –17% and –18%, respectively.

Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ-$175.33)

Constellation Brands is the top imported beer company in the U.S. and one of the world's leading wine producers. We believe that the company's valuation is compelling due to its robust long-term growth outlook of its strong brands within both beer and wine. Over the past five years, Constellation's beer segment—which includes brands such as Corona, Modelo and Pacifico, among others—has grown its sales volume and revenue at a 10% and 12% CAGR7, respectively. The company was

able to accomplish this impressive growth during a period when industry volume growth remained relatively flat. Despite a market-leading medium-term growth outlook that calls for high single-digit revenue growth within its beer segment and low-to-mid single-digit growth within its wine and spirits portfolio, Constellation trades at a meaningful discount to other consumer packaged goods companies that are experiencing slow to no growth. In addition to its portfolio of brands within beer, wine and spirits, the company has established a strategic partnership and large ownership stake in the world's largest publicly traded cannabis company, Canopy Growth Group. We believe this partnership positions Constellation to potentially become one of the bigger beneficiaries in a category that some project could exceed $200 billion in global demand over the next 10 to 15 years. On our one-year forward earnings estimate, Constellation trades in line with the earnings multiple for the overall market without giving the company any value for its significant stake in Canopy. We believe this presents an opportunity to invest in an above-average business at just an average price.

S&P Global, Inc. (SPGI-$210.55)

S&P Global is a collection of businesses that provides ratings and benchmarks that are essential to financial markets around the world. Bonds that are issued with an S&P rating pay meaningfully less in interest per year, which generates savings for debt issuers far in excess of the cost of the rating. Also, ETFs and mutual funds tied to S&P Global's indexes, especially the S&P 500, are gaining market share in the fast-growing passive investing market. And S&P Global's data and analytics services provide unique insights that help customers make critical decisions across their businesses. Each of S&P Global's segments share the common characteristic of providing value for customers that is much greater than the prices they charge. As a result, S&P Global is able to raise prices and generate above-average earnings growth. Indeed, over the past five years, S&P Global has grown its earnings per share by over 20% annually, while returning over 100% of free cash flow to shareholders. We believe S&P Global is an exceptional company with a long runway for growth, trading at a price that is below our estimate of intrinsic value.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

Win Murray

Portfolio Manager

oaklx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Select Fund was up 13.5% for the quarter, very modestly trailing the S&P 5001 Index's 13.7% return. After a punishing December 2018, our portfolio reversed sharply in January (and was, in fact, up almost 15% that month alone, compared to 8% for the S&P 500). February and March felt like a continuation of December in our industrial and consumer discretionary investments, while our energy stocks continued to do well.

Our best performer in the quarter, up 36%, was Apache. The company reported great results during the quarter and it is growing production more than expected, despite spending less on capital expenditures than had been forecasted. This is a great combination of factors for a company in the energy sector, which is notorious for capital inefficiency, and we believe it should lead to excellent cash flows over time. Despite the stock's rally, we still believe it remains quite inexpensive.

Our largest contributor to performance was CBRE Group, up 23% (one of nine stocks in the Fund up 20% or more this quarter). The company is performing exceptionally well due to strong revenue growth across business lines and geographies, margin expansion, and a new share repurchase program. We believe CBRE will continue to benefit from positive trends within the real estate sector and also from its widening competitive moat. Yet its stock is still trading for only 13x 2019 earnings per share (EPS) estimates.

Our worst performer and largest detractor in the quarter, down 18%, was Qurate Retail. The stock dropped sharply on its earnings report in late February as the HSN acquisition has, thus far, produced disappointing results while various international QVC assets underperformed. We believe the stock looks very inexpensive at the current $16 price as share repurchases and expected HSN synergies alone should drive EPS (plus amortization) comfortably above $2 in 2019.

Our only other portfolio holding to decline in the quarter was American Airlines, which dropped 3% on continued concerns about a possible economic slowdown. With the stock trading at 5x 2019 EPS estimates and with the industry consolidation having produced what appears to be a more rational capacity and pricing backdrop, we believe such concerns are currently over discounted.

We did not initiate or eliminate any positions during the quarter, other than receiving a small amount of Wabtec shares as a spin-off from GE, which we subsequently sold.

Thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your continued investment in our Fund.

Is Value Investing Dead?

Historically, value stocks—i.e., those stocks with the lowest price to book11 and lowest trailing sales growth rates—have outperformed their growth brethren. However, in 2007, this trend started to reverse, and growth stocks have outperformed ever since. The reversal has been so sharp that the media and some investors have started to ask if value investing is dead. If one defines value investing as blindly buying a basket of low price to book and low growth stocks, we, too, are skeptical that such an approach will serve investors well over the long term.

We believe that the shift in growth stocks is the result of broader economic changes that have occurred over the past several decades. Companies' budgets used to be heavily weighted toward buying and maintaining plants and equipment. Today, however, research and development (R&D) and marketing are more important. According to Empirical Research Partners, in the 1990s, publicly traded companies spent less than 40 cents of R&D for every dollar they invested in capital expenditures. Now, that number is 63 cents. Companies are maintaining fewer physical assets and focusing more on intangible assets. Because these intangible assets tend not to be captured on a balance sheet at fair value, earnings and book value are less correlated now than ever before.

This shift away from physical assets has implications not only for the balance sheets, but the income statements. That's because accounting practices treat most physical assets as if they depreciate over many years, while marketing and R&D spending are expensed immediately even though, if done efficiently, they will create benefits that last years. In effect, this means that current earnings are often understated for companies that spend wisely on R&D and marketing. The changes to the economy do not mean that book value is now meaningless. It is still a very relevant metric in certain industries—it just isn't as good of an indicator of earnings power as it used to be.

It may appear odd that, for most of history, stocks with lower trailing sales growth rates outperformed. Yet past growth rates were traditionally not very predicative of future growth rates and there was a strong tendency for reversion to the mean. This reversion to the mean was especially problematic for some of the fastest growing companies as investors would often extrapolate high growth rates and push stock valuations to extreme levels, only for the business fundamentals to disappoint. So what has changed? Revenue and earnings growth persistence have improved, especially among some of the largest technology companies whose earnings streams are protected by brand value, patents, technological leadership and network effect—all of which are much more durable advantages than simply having more fixed assets. On the flip side, several industries

(media and retail) have been hurt by the "new economy" and have experienced large value declines. As a result, over the past decade, the returns of the growth and value indexes have been nearly identical on an equal-weighted basis. Large technology stocks have clearly shifted the dynamics for growth investments.

Has this change caused us to drastically overhaul our approach to value investing? Not really. Oakmark has never solely used statistical factors to define value. Instead, we have always done extensive due diligence on each company to estimate intrinsic value. Our analysis has always tried to account for the value of both physical and intangible assets. We also strive to produce earnings and cash flow forecasts that best reflect economic reality, not GAAP accounting. This could mean adding back amortization of intangible assets, adjusting for abnormally high R&D or marketing spending, or valuing a money-losing or an under-earning asset separately. Once we are comfortable that we have estimated intrinsic value to the best of our abilities, we purchase only those securities trading substantially below that estimate. The result is that our analysts find value in a wide range of industries and companies, and the Equity and Income portfolio reflects this.

Quarter and Fiscal Year-to-Date Review

Against a strong market backdrop, the Fund gained 8.8% in the quarter, a modest outperformance, compared to 8.5% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index9. This strong gain nearly offset a very weak first quarter of the Fund's fiscal year. As a result, the Fund's –1.3% return for the first six months of the fiscal year still trails the Lipper Index's 0.2% mark. But, since inception, Equity and Income's compounded annual rate of return stands at 9.8% versus the Index's 6.8%.

The biggest positive contributors this quarter were Mastercard, Philip Morris International, Bank of America, General Motors and Nestlé, while the biggest detractors were CVS Health, Qurate Retail and Qorvo. On both ends of the spectrum, company-specific factors, rather than any industry or macro themes, drove stock outcomes. For the past six months, General Motors, Nestlé, Diageo, Foot Locker and Philip Morris led, primarily due to healthy consumer trends. Laggards were CVS Health, National Oilwell Varco, Bank of America, Anadarko and Citigroup. The common denominator among these stocks was exposure to the energy and financial industries, which performed poorly at the end of calendar 2018.

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Transaction Activity and Asset Allocation

The sole new addition to the portfolio was Booking Holdings, whereas the subtractions were Dover Corporation, Flex Ltd. and Qorvo.

Booking Holdings (formerly known as Priceline) is a pioneer and global leader in the online travel industry. We believe that Booking's strong brands, significant investment expenditures and scale advantages have given it a formidable network effect. Add to that the company's geographic exposures, revenue mix and superior online traffic conversion, and it is clear that Booking has one of the best operating models in the industry. Yet share prices fell after the company issued weaker than expected quarterly guidance due to rising macroeconomic pressures in Europe and the company's increased investment expenditures. Unlike investors focusing on the very short term, we believe Booking's investment spending will enable the company to exceed average market growth rates for the long term. Factoring in the company's net cash and investments, Booking's stock trades at a discount to the market's P/E ratio3, despite the company's superior growth outlook, above-average margin profile and high returns on incremental capital. Therefore, we find Booking stock an attractive investment opportunity.

Dover Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial products. The Fund has owned Dover since 2011, and in that time, the business and the stock have performed reasonably well. The one area that has been disappointing is operating margin progression, which has trailed peers. To address this issue, the board hired respected industry veteran Richard Tobin as CEO. Tobin quickly initiated a significant cost-savings program that produced good early results and further long-term potential. As a result, the stock appreciated to near our estimate of fair value, so we sold our position.

Both Flex Ltd. and Qorvo were small positions for the Fund and their fundamentals fell short of our expectations. Although we still believe both companies are undervalued, we decided to recognize a tax loss and move the proceeds into Booking, which we believe is even more undervalued.

The Fund ended the quarter with an asset allocation of 61% invested in equities and 39% invested in fixed income. The fixed income portion of the Fund consists of 18% corporate bonds, 12% treasuries and treasury inflation protected securities, and 9% discount notes and commercial paper. We have increased the allocation to corporate bonds as they have become more attractive over the past several years due to rising interest rates and periodic spread widening versus treasuries. The duration of the Fund's fixed income securities has increased slightly, but is only a little more than two years. We still do not see enough reward potential in long dated fixed income securities.

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

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

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.

From (Near) Worst to (Near) First in 90 days

In the prior quarter's letter, we discussed how the fundamental performance of the companies in the Global Fund was inconsistent with the decline in share prices. These sorts of opportunities don't tend to last long, but one never knows exactly when stock prices will begin to more accurately reflect business value. With virtually no change in the headlines, political climate or underlying business fundamentals, global stocks have recovered significantly from last quarter's decline. Over the last two quarters, we've seen a bottom fifth percentile return (Q4 2018) for the MSCI World Index12, followed by a top tenth percentile return (Q1 2019)14. Yet not much has changed fundamentally. Although such short-term, schizophrenic behavior is not unusual for stocks, it is quite difficult to predict. So we stay fully invested in stocks, focusing on quality businesses that sell for significant discounts to intrinsic value and are run by capable managers. Bill Nygren's letter explains the benefits of owning equities for decades (not quarters) and how maintaining an asset allocation profile that fits one's risk tolerance and rebalancing in a disciplined way greatly increases one's odds for success. We manage your global equity portfolio similarly. However, instead of rebalancing between different asset classes, we rebalance into the companies that present the best risk-adjusted values and we rebalance out of the companies where that valuation is less attractive, all while staying fully invested with the goal of maximizing long-term, after-tax returns.

Performance Discussion

The Global Fund gained 12.6% in the first calendar quarter of 2019, which roughly matched the MSCI World Index gain of 12.5%. Since inception, the Fund has returned 9.6% annually, compared to 4.7% for the MSCI World Index.

For the quarter, our holdings in the U.K., U.S. and South Africa contributed the most to returns, while Mexico and Australia detracted the most. Individually, Mastercard (U.S.), Lloyds Banking Group (U.K.) and Travis Perkins (U.K.) were the largest contributors to performance. After our in-depth discussion of Lloyds in last quarter's letter, we were gratified but not surprised that it was a significant contributor this quarter. The largest detractors were Bayer (Germany), Grupo Televisa (Mexico) and Incitec Pivot (Australia). While we are disappointed with the recent legal judgements related to the herbicide Roundup, Bayer's share price fell well in excess of our estimated liability, and given that the company had already been trading at an attractive price, we added to our Bayer holdings during the quarter.

Portfolio Activity

We initiated one new position in the quarter, Booking Holdings (U.S.), and sold Multichoice Group (South Africa), which was spun out of Naspers, to pursue more attractive opportunities.

Booking Holdings (formerly known as Priceline) is a pioneer and global leader in the online travel industry. The company's strong brands, significant investment expenditures and scale advantages have given it a formidable network effect. Add to that the company's geographic exposures, revenue mix and superior online traffic conversion, and it is clear that Booking has one of the best operating models in the industry. Yet the share price fell after the company issued weaker than expected quarterly guidance due to rising macroeconomic pressures in Europe and the company's increased investment expenditures. Booking has been investing heavily in alternative accommodations, payments, business travel and other ancillary businesses, and we believe this approach will further enhance the company's competitive position and allow it to exceed market growth rates over the long term. The company's highly regarded management team also has a long history of growing per share business value. We expect Booking to repurchase nearly 10% of its total share base over the two-year period, ending at the close of 2019, and that it will grow earnings at above-average rates while maintaining its pristine balance sheet. On our one-year forward estimate, Booking trades at a discount to the market's P/E ratio3 (excluding its net cash and investments), despite a superior growth outlook and well above-average return profile, which should earn it a premium valuation.

Currency Hedges

We defensively hedge a portion of the Fund's exposure to currencies that we believe to be overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As of quarter end, we found only the Swiss franc to be overvalued and have hedged approximately 18% of the Fund's franc exposure.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 12.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, slightly outperforming the MSCI World Index12, which returned 12.5%. Importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 7.2% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5.6% over the same period.

Lloyds Banking Group, the dominant retail bank in the U.K., was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 23%. During the quarter, Lloyds announced underlying 2018 fiscal-year results that were largely in line with our expectations. The group also announced a new GBP 1.75 billion share repurchase program for 2019, which was larger than expected and an increase from its GBP 1 billion of repurchases in 2018. Additionally, Lloyds has guided for 14-15% return on tangible equity and promised further operating expenditure reductions for 2019. While the U.K.'s decision to withdraw from the European Union has caused an outsized share price decline in previous periods, we believe the most recent results and share price gains support our investment thesis and believe that the bank's intrinsic value remains largely intact.

Another large contributor for the quarter was Apache, a U.S.-based oil and gas exploration and production company. The company reported great results during the quarter, in our opinion, and it is growing production more than expected, despite spending less on capital expenditures than had been forecast. This is a great combination of factors for a company in the energy space, which is notorious for capital inefficiency, and it should lead to excellent cash flows over time. Additionally, management announced plans to repurchase 2.5% of shares and return at least 50% of free cash flow and asset sale proceeds to shareholders going forward. Despite the stock's rally, we still believe it remains quite inexpensive.

During the quarter, we sold our investment in WPP, a U.K.-based marketing and advertising company, and used the proceeds to buy Samsung Electronics, South Korea's top electronics company and a world leader in manufacturing semiconductors. We believe Samsung provides a better risk-return profile for our shareholders. We also sold our shares of Wabtec, a U.S.-based transportation and logistics company, which we received as part of a corporate action related to our holding of General Electric. Samsung and Wabtec were owned for brief periods during the quarter and detracted slightly from performance. No other holdings detracted from performance for the quarter.

Geographically, 48.7% of the Fund's holdings were allocated to equities in Europe and the U.K., while approximately 45.1% were invested in U.S. companies and 6.2% in Asian equities.

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 19% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.

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

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund returned 9.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index15, which returned 10.5% over the same period. However, the Fund has returned an average of 9.1% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 5.8% per year over the same period.

Lloyds Banking Group, the dominant retail bank in the U.K., was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 23%. During the quarter, Lloyds announced underlying 2018 fiscal-year results that were largely in line with our expectations. The group also announced a new GBP 1.75 billion share repurchase program for 2019, which was larger than expected and an increase from its GBP 1 billion of repurchases in 2018. Additionally, Lloyds has guided for 14-15% return on tangible equity and promised further operating expenditure reductions for 2019. While the U.K.'s decision to withdraw from the European Union has caused an outsized share price decline in previous periods, we believe the most recent results and share price gains support our investment thesis and believe that the bank's intrinsic value remains largely intact.

The largest detractor for the quarter, thyssenkrupp, a German-based industrials conglomerate, returned –19%. As we had expected, thyssenkrupp reported weak first-quarter results due to reduced demand from the auto industry, raw material pressure and operational issues. EBIT18 was flat to down in all divisions, but management has maintained guidance that calls for a meaningful increase year over year. As reported last year, the board recommended to split the company in two: thyssenkrupp industrials and thyssenkrupp materials. During the quarter, the company announced further details on the split, which will target improved efficiency and simplification. The new companies will give full profit and loss responsibility to the business and consolidate central functions. The goal is to reduce selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs by roughly €80 million. We view this incremental detail positively. Although the most recent quarter's results were disappointing, we have confidence that management has a solid plan to improve operations and simplify the business, and we believe the company is trading at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.

During the quarter, we sold our holdings in Ctrip.com and Pernod Ricard as they approached our estimate of fair value. We also sold our shares of MultiChoice Group, which we received as part of a corporate action related to our holding of Naspers. During the quarter, we initiated a position in Rolls Royce, a U.K.-based gas turbine engine manufacturer.

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.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 79.2% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 12.6% in Asia, and 2.1% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 2.2% in South Africa, 1.7% in North America (Canada) and 0.9% in Latin America (Mexico).

We continue to focus on finding attractive, undervalued international companies with management teams focused on building shareholder value. We thank you for your continued support.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 13%, comparing favorably to the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index19, which returned 10.9% for the same period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 8.7% per year.

The largest contributor to performance in the Fund this quarter was Azimut Holding, which was the largest detractor in the fourth quarter of 2018 and was discussed in our last Fund report. Azimut is an Italian asset management company, based in Milan, with increasingly significant international operations in 16 countries. The company operates an integrated distribution and investment management model, aimed primarily at private clients. In January, Azimut announced a change to its fee structure that will lead to higher recurring fees and lower performance fees, and the new calculation of its performance fees will be more consistent with market practice. We view this change favorably as it will reduce the volatility of the business model. In addition, the company reported 2018 financial results that were in line with estimates and management expressed confidence in achieving its business plan target of €300 million of net profit in 2019. This result, if achieved, would be well ahead of market estimates. Along with the release, the company announced a €1.50 per share dividend. This significantly exceeded estimates and amounted to a nearly 12% yield at the time of announcement, which we believe reflects the company's strong balance sheet and cash flow generation. We continue to be impressed with the shareholder-friendly orientation of management and the fact that management and employees own over 20% of the company's stock.

The largest detractor from performance for the quarter was BNK Financial Group, a banking, securities and financial services provider in the southeast region of South Korea. The company issued fiscal-year 2018 results in February that came in below expectations, reporting a net loss of 37B KRW for the fourth quarter of 2018. These results were due to higher loan loss provisions and charges associated with an early retirement program (ERP). We believe a significant portion of these charges were one time in nature, given relatively stable underlying asset quality, coupled with an expected benefit from the ERP. The market was also disappointed that BNK's transition to a more efficient capital structure is taking longer than expected due to a change in regulatory personnel. The bank now expects the benefits of this transition to flow through in the first or second quarter of fiscal year 2019. While this is certainly disappointing, management has reiterated its targeted benefit of 60-100 basis points and indicated that the group will reach a CET121 of nearly 11% by the end of 2019. The stronger capital base should not only help assuage investor concerns but also enable BNK to

increase its dividend payout ratio and even potentially consider a buyback. Given that the company's stock trades at 4x trailing earnings (including the aforementioned one-time charges), we believe a higher dividend payout would be viewed quite positively by the market.

We initiated five new holdings in the Fund this quarter: Bharti Infratel, the largest telecom tower company in India; Dometic Group, a Swedish manufacturer of a wide array of appliances and accessories for the RV, marine and automotive industries; Autoliv, also Swedish-based and a past Fund holding, a developer and manufacturer of automotive safety systems with sales to all leading car manufacturers worldwide; DS Smith, a U.K.-based international paper company that designs and manufactures packaging products for consumer goods; and lastly, Italy-based Autogrill, the world's largest supplier of food and beverage services to travelers. During the quarter, we eliminated one position in Cosmo Lady (China).

Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 69% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 14% in Asia, and 8% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 5% in Latin America (Mexico and Brazil) and 3% in North America (Canada).

We continue to believe both 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 29% of the krone exposure.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The following are the significant accounting policies of Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark"), Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income"), Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), Oakmark Global Select Fund ("Global Select"), Oakmark International Fund ("International"), and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small Cap"), collectively referred to as the "Funds," each a series of Harris Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, organized on February 1, 1991, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. Each Fund, other than Select and Global Select, is diversified in accordance with the 1940 Act. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Class disclosure

Each Fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Class Shares, Advisor Class Shares, Institutional Class Shares and Service Class Shares. Investor Class, Advisor Class and Institutional Class Shares are offered for purchase directly from the Funds and through certain intermediaries who have entered into an agreement with the Funds' distributor and/or Harris Associates L.P., investment adviser to the Funds (the "Adviser"). Service Class Shares are offered to certain retirement plans, such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Service Class Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average net assets of Service Class Shares of the Funds. This service fee is paid to intermediaries for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Global Select had no outstanding Service Class Shares during the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses of the Funds not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are allocated to each class pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Transfer and divided disbursing agent fees, other shareholder servicing fees, and reports to shareholders expenses are specific to each class.

Redemption fees

Effective December 3, 2018, Int'l Small Cap no longer imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions. As of March 31, 2019, none of the Funds impose a short-term trading fee on redemptions.

Prior to December 3, 2018, Int'l Small Cap imposed a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to deter abusive trading activities and to help offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by abusive trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee was paid to the Fund and was 2% of the redemption value and was deducted from either the redemption proceeds or from the balance in the account. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method was used to determine the holding period. Redemption fees collected by the Fund, if any, are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Security valuation

The Funds' share prices or net asset values ("NAVs") are calculated as of the close of regular session trading (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on any day on which the NYSE is open for trading. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges in the United States and over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price on the day of valuation, or lacking any reported sales that day, at the most recent bid quotation. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market System. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges outside the United States are valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sales price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, or the official closing price, or are based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Each long-term debt instrument is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations. In the event an option is out-of-the money and no bid is available, a zero value may be assumed as the bid for purposes of calculating the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotations.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to

Oakmark.com 63



Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.

Fair value measurement

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

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the assumptions of Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") in determining the fair value of investments)

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from independent sources and unobservable inputs reflect the Adviser's own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

At March 31, 2019, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2019, in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Offsetting assets and liabilities

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

At March 31, 2019, certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the forward foreign currency contract table included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

At March 31, 2019, each Fund held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.

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

Foreign currency translations

Certain Funds invest in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates obtained by a recognized bank, dealer or independent pricing service on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and tax reclaims recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses arising from

Oakmark.com 65



Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the Statements of Operations.

Forward foreign currency contracts

Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates. Unrealized gain or loss on the contracts, as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the period, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.

At March 31, 2019, Global, Global Select, International and Int'l Small Cap held non-collateralized, forward foreign currency contracts, which are considered derivative instruments, each of whose counterparty is State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") and are listed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

For the period ended March 31, 2019, the notional value of forward foreign currency contracts opened and the notional value of settled contracts is listed by Fund in the table below (in thousands):

Security transactions and investment income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discount is accreted on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method. Premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-earliest call method. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the specific identification method.

Short sales

Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. Each Fund may sell shares of when-issued securities. Typically, a Fund sells when-issued securities when a company announces a spin-off or re-organization, and the post-spin-off or post-re-organization shares begin trading on a when-issued basis prior to the effective date of the corporate action. A sale of a when-issued security is treated as a short sale for accounting purposes. After the effective date, when shares of the new company are received, any shares sold on a when-issued basis will be delivered to the counterparty. At March 31, 2019, none of the Funds had short sales.

When-issued or delayed-delivery securities

Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. At March 31, 2019, none of the Funds held when-issued securities.

Accounting for options

When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from option transactions. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, a Fund foregoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from

66 OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current fair value. Options written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparties, to perform.

When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of OTC derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.

Oakmark and Select used options written for tax management purposes during the period ended March 31, 2019. Written options outstanding, if any, are listed on each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Oakmark and Select used purchased options for tax management purposes during the period ended March 31, 2019. Oakmark and Select had net realized gains on purchased options of $32,909 and $27,774, respectively. There were no outstanding purchased options as of March 31, 2019.

Credit facility

The Trust has a $200 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $300 million uncommitted unsecured discretionary demand line of credit (the "Facility") with State Street. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at 1.25% above the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement. To maintain the Facility, an annualized commitment fee of 0.20% on the unused committed portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the period ended March 31, 2019.

Expense offset arrangement

State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2019, none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.

Repurchase agreements

Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments whereby the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price.

The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. At March 31, 2019, all of the Funds held repurchase agreements.

Security lending

Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents, or U.S. Treasury or agency securities maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by a Fund. The Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and would also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. There could also be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period. A Fund may not exercise proxy voting rights for a security that is on loan if it is unable to recall the security prior to the record date. The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an agreement with State Street to serve as its agent for the purpose of lending securities and maintaining the collateral account. Security lending income, if any, net of any fees retained by the securities lending agent, is included in the Statement of Operations.

At March 31, 2019, International and Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $40,190,231 and $38,426,999, respectively, and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $42,216,733 and $40,381,849, respectively.

Interfund lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility that allows the Funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other for temporary purposes (an "Interfund Loan"). All Interfund Loans are subject to conditions pursuant to the SEC exemptive order designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of participating Funds. Any Interfund Loan would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending Fund otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2019, Int'l Small Cap borrowed money from Equity and Income. The loan in the amount of $30 million was initiated on December 13, 2018 and $8 million was repaid on December 14, 2018 and $22 million on December 17, 2018. The interest rate on the borrowing was 2.495%. The total interest paid by Int'l Small Cap to Equity and Income was $6,654.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund has an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. For management services and facilities furnished, the Adviser receives from each Fund a monthly fee based on that Fund's net assets at the end of the preceding month. Annual fee rates are as follows:

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through January 27, 2020, to waive the advisory fee otherwise payable to it by the following percentages with respect to each Fund: 0.043% for Oakmark; 0.074% for Select; 0.099% for Equity and Income; 0.059% for Global; 0.066% for Global Select; and 0.052% for International. When determining whether a Fund's total expenses exceed the additional contractual expense cap described below, a Fund's net advisory fee, reflecting application of the advisory fee waiver, will be used to calculate a Fund's total expenses. The Adviser is not entitled to collect on or make a claim for waived fees that are the subject of this undertaking at any time in the future. This arrangement may only be modified or amended with approval from a Fund and the Adviser. The advisory fees waived for each Fund are included in the Statement of Operations.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through January 27, 2020, to reimburse each Fund Class to the extent, but only to the extent, that the annualized expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the

The Adviser is entitled to recoup from assets attributable to any Fund Class amounts reimbursed to that Fund Class, except to the extent that the Fund Class already has paid such recoupment to the Adviser or such recoupment would cause that Class' total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation or to exceed any lower limit in effect at the time of recoupment. Any such repayment must be made within three fiscal years after the year in which the reimbursement occurred. As of March 31, 2019, there were no amounts subject to recoupment.

The Adviser has voluntarily reimbursed certain of the Funds for a portion of Transfer Agency costs. For the period ended March 31, 2019, the Adviser reimbursed $304 and $9,924 to Oakmark and International for transfer agency expenses related to Institutional Class Shares. These amounts are not subject to recovery under the contractual expense reimbursement agreement described above.

The Adviser and/or the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an agreement with the Adviser and the Adviser pays the remainder of the fees. The fees incurred by the Funds are reflected as other shareholder servicing fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Independent Trustees of the Trust may participate in the Trust's Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of a participant's deferral account is determined by reference to the change in value of Investor Class shares of one or more of the Funds or a money market fund as specified by the participant. Benefits would be payable after a stated number of years or retirement from the Board of Trustees. The accrued obligations of the Funds under the plan are reflected as deferred Trustee compensation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the accrued obligations for the period is included in Trustees' fees in the Statements of Operations. The Trust pays the compensation of the Trustees other than those affiliated with the Adviser and all expenses incurred in connection with their services to the Trust. The Trust does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its Trustees.

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

3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Adviser has determined that no income tax provision for uncertain tax positions is required in the Fund's financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2018, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

At March 31, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and related composition of unrealized gains and losses for each Fund were as follows (in thousands):

On March 31, 2019, the Funds had temporary book/tax differences in undistributed earnings that were primarily attributable to trustee-deferred compensation expenses, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency contracts and deferrals of capital losses on wash sales. Temporary differences will reverse over time. The Funds have permanent differences in book/tax undistributed earnings primarily attributable to equalization debits and distribution re-designations. Permanent differences will be recorded in their respective component of the analysis of Net Assets at the year ended September 30, 2019.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2019, the following amounts were classified due to permanent differences between book and tax accounting. (in thousands):

The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding The Board of Trustees' Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements As Approved October 24, 2018

On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of the Oakmark Funds (the "Funds"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser") or the Funds ("Independent Trustees"), considers whether to continue each Fund's investment advisory agreement (each, an "Agreement," and collectively, the "Agreements") with the Adviser. At a meeting held on October 24, 2018, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the continuation of each Agreement through October 31, 2019.

The Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee") leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. The Committee, together with the other Independent Trustees, requested, received, reviewed and considered materials provided by the Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Trustees that they believed to be relevant to the continuation of the Agreements with respect to each Fund in light of legal advice furnished to them by their legal counsel that is experienced in the Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent from the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"); their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, the markets, and mutual fund regulation and litigation. During the annual contract approval process, the Committee and the other Independent Trustees met multiple times specifically to review and consider materials related to the proposed continuation of each Agreement and to ensure that the Adviser had time to respond to questions from the Independent Trustees and that the Independent Trustees had time to consider those responses. They also met with senior representatives of the Adviser regarding, among other things, its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), an independent consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data, to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and a peer group of comparable funds, as selected by Broadridge. While the Board considered the continuation of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Fund's Agreement separately from those of each other Fund.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered a broad range of information relevant to the annual contract approval process that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; quality and cost of portfolio trade execution; compliance; and shareholder support and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.

The Independent Trustees were advised by Independent Counsel throughout the annual contract approval process and they received a memorandum from Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract approval process, the Committee and the other Independent Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser.

Provided below is a description of the Board's annual contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered regarding continuation of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract approval process.

This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services

The Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge the Board gained during meetings with the Adviser throughout the year. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; the consistency of its investment approach; the qualifications, experience and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the Adviser's investment and other personnel responsible for managing the Funds; the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds; and the Adviser's compliance program. The Board also considered the Adviser's resources and reviewed key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds, including the time that investment personnel devoted to each Fund, and the investment results produced as a result of the Adviser's in-house research.

The Board considered that, pursuant to each Agreement, the Adviser provides administrative services, including, among others, oversight of shareholder communications, fund administration and accounting services, regulatory and legal obligation oversight, supervision of Fund operations, and Board support. The Board noted that the Adviser is also responsible for monitoring compliance with each Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board also considered that the Adviser's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and on a regular basis it considers information regarding the Adviser's processes for monitoring and managing risk. The Board also noted the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' various outside service providers, including its negotiation of certain service providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered the Adviser's ongoing development of its own internal infrastructure, including, among other things, its operational and trading capabilities and its information technology to support the Funds'

80 OAKMARK FUNDS



compliance structure through, among other things, cybersecurity programs, business continuity planning and risk management. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of the Adviser.

The Board also considered the general structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees, and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board also noted the significant personal investments that the Adviser's personnel have made in the Funds, which serve to further align the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders.

The Board also considered the manner in which the Adviser addressed various matters that arose during the year. These matters may have been the result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it, including, for example, the liquidity risk management program rules and subsequent amendments. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's response to recent market conditions and considered the overall performance of the Adviser in this context.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, net of the Fund's fees and expenses, both on an absolute basis and compared to the performance of a broader group of comparable funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective as each Fund (the Fund's "Performance Universe"), as selected by Broadridge. As a general matter, the Board considered each Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such comparative groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative groups. Because the Committee commenced its review of the investment performance of the Funds in June, the performance periods considered by the Board were those ended April 30, 2018. The Board considered the one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance for each Fund. The Board also considered updated performance information at its October meeting at which the Agreements were approved.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:

Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one- and three-year periods ending April 30, 2018, but outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Select Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2018, but outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2018.

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three- and five-year periods ending April 30, 2018, but outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the ten-year period ending April 30, 2018.

In addition to considering each Fund's performance as compared to that of its respective Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance as compared to that of its benchmark and of other comparative data provided by Broadridge, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk and separate comparative data provided by the Adviser. In the case of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund and Oakmark Select Fund, each of which underperformed its respective Performance Universe over multiple periods, the Board discussed with the Adviser the factors that caused each Fund's underperformance and how the Adviser evaluates underperformance relative to Fund peers.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser

The Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under its Agreement as compared to the peer group provided by Broadridge. Specifically, using the information provided by Broadridge, the Board considered each Fund's management fee and the management fees for other mutual funds comparable in fund type, investment classification/objective, load type and asset size to each Fund (the Fund's "Expense Group"), and considered each Fund's total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, and those of its Expense Group.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio as of the conclusion of its fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, is set forth below:

Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser was lower than the median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was equal to the median of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser was lower than the median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was equal to the median of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark.com 81



Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser was equal to the median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was lower than the median of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both lower than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Select Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser was higher than the median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was lower than the median of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both lower than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund's management fee was higher than the median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was equal to the median of its respective Expense Group.

The Board also reviewed the Adviser's management fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and sub-advised funds (for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and any such comparable separate account clients and/or sub-advised funds, including any breakpoints, and noted the Adviser's explanation that, although in most instances the fees paid by those other clients were lower than the fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's significantly greater level of responsibilities and broader scope of services with respect to the Funds. The Board further noted the more extensive regulatory obligations and the various risks (e.g., operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, compliance) associated with managing the Funds as compared to any such comparable separate account clients and/or sub-advised funds.

The Board also noted that each Fund's management fee is a single fee that compensates the Adviser for its services as investment adviser and manager under the Agreements and further noted that, for comparative purposes, where possible, Broadridge aggregated the separate investment advisory and administrative fees into a single management fee for the mutual funds in the Expense Group that clearly identify two separate fees. The Board noted that some mutual funds in the Expense Group may pay directly from fund assets for certain services that the Adviser is compensated for out of the management fee for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund's total expense ratio as compared with its respective Expense Group as a way of taking account of these differences. The Board also considered the Adviser's agreement to continue the expense limitation agreement for each Fund. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's agreement to continue the investment advisory fee waiver agreement for Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund, and Oakmark International Fund.

The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Funds' investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as an Investment Management Industry Profitability Analysis prepared by Broadridge. The Board examined the estimated pre-tax profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, as presented in the profitability analyses, as well as the financial condition of the Adviser. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds, for purposes of calculating its estimated profitability, and recognized that the methodology may not reflect all of the costs or risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex. The Board also recognized that the Adviser and its affiliates are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee structure reflects any potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Adviser for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board reviewed each Agreement, which includes breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as Fund assets increase. In addition, the Board considered each Fund's expense limitation agreement and the investment advisory fee waiver agreement for Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund, and Oakmark International Fund that reduces each Fund's expenses at all asset levels, which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provides protection from an increase in expenses if a Fund's assets decline. The Board also considered that the Adviser has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board considered any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Adviser or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. The Board noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as the Funds' distributor, without compensation, pursuant to a written agreement the Board evaluates annually. The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research and brokerage products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser, and considered the Adviser's assertion that its use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain research and brokerage products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

Conclusion

After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, in its business judgment, concluded that approval of the continuation of each Agreement was in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the Fund's Agreement and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its Agreement with the Adviser; that

82 OAKMARK FUNDS



the Adviser was delivering performance for each Fund that was consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Fund, and that the Fund and its shareholders were benefiting from the Adviser's investment management of the Fund; that the management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided; that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser; that the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with each Fund appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services performed; and that the benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs and risks associated with providing the investment advisory and other services to each Fund and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions are based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual contract approval process.

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 that 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.
