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.

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, 2015 to March 31, 2016, 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, 2016, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the "Actual—Expenses Paid During Period" column shown below.

Shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, invested for 90 days or less, may be charged a 2% redemption fee upon redemption. Please consult the Funds' prospectus at Oakmark.com for more information.

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.

Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds  March 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary

William C. Nygren, CFA

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com
oaklx@oakmark.com

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

Last month, I had a Q&A session with John Rotonti of The Motley Fool. I thought John's questions gave an unusually good opportunity to explain how we at Oakmark approach investment decision making. What follows is an excerpt from that interview. The full interview is available at Oakmark.com.

John Rotonti: What's your definition of a high-quality business?

Bill Nygren: Oakmark would consider a business to be high-quality if it had many of the following attributes:

•  high return on incremental invested capital

•  high free cash generation

•  above-average growth opportunities

•  competitive advantage not subject to replication

•  low cyclicality

•  low risk of obsolescence

I'm no doubt missing other important characteristics, but you get the idea. More importantly, however, is that there is a big difference between a high-quality business and a great stock, and that difference is stock price. Just as consumers do, we are always making trade-offs between price and quality.

John Rotonti: What's your definition of a high-quality management team?

Bill Nygren: I think all investors would agree that a very important measure of a management team is its ability to maximize long-term returns for the business. It is rare that we disagree with the consensus on how well management runs the business. The issue we spend a great deal of time analyzing—that many other investors gloss over—is how a manager allocates capital.

If you buy a stock expecting to sell it after the next earnings release, capital allocation barely matters. But if you buy a stock expecting to hold it for five years, like we do, capital allocation becomes critically important. We define good capital allocators as always searching for the option that maximizes long-term risk-adjusted return. That means thinking like an owner, not a professional manager. A professional manager is almost always focused on making the company bigger—effectively focusing on the numerator. An owner pays just as much attention to the denominator, meaning maximizing per-share values.

John Rotonti: Do you think there's one source of competitive advantage that's stronger and more enduring than others?

Bill Nygren: As soon as it is obvious that a business is successful (meaning it earns a higher return than its cost of capital), other businesses begin trying to replicate that success. The most

obvious enduring protection is a patent that can't be bypassed (think pharmaceuticals), which gives relative certainty to monopoly status until expiration. Unfortunately, most investors recognize and are willing to pay for that advantage. Other competitive advantages we like are brand names, high switching costs, and scale. The longer I've been at this, the more respect I gain for corporate culture being a sustainable advantage. One would think that Liberty Media's (NASDAQ: LMCA) singular focus on per-share value, 3G's focus on cost reduction, or Goldman Sachs's (NYSE: GS) focus on hiring the best and brightest ought to be easily copied, but it isn't. I think that an advantaged corporate culture is the "moat" that is most often available for free.

John Rotonti: Now a few questions on valuation. In a previous conversation, you told me that your preferred method for estimating intrinsic value is to look at recent acquisition multiples for comparable businesses and that you use discounted cash flow analysis just as a sanity check. For businesses that don't have comparable acquisition multiples (such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google holding company Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), or Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)), what's your next preferred method?

Bill Nygren: Our preferred method is not encompassed by one summary statistic. We want to apply the statistic(s) that best captures each company's unique value. We owned Amazon most of last year—an odd holding for a value manager given a P/E1 ratio of several hundred. The metric that gave us confidence that Amazon was cheaper than other retailers was enterprise value divided by sales. It seemed odd to us that Amazon, growing sales at 20%-plus annually, was priced at a smaller percentage of sales than were average brick-and-mortar stores. Other investors were focused on Amazon's low margin; we believed forfeiting a year of earnings was a small price to pay to grow more than 2000 basis points faster than competitors.

In the case of Google, now Alphabet, we use a sum-of-the-parts approach explicitly valuing cash, cumulative investments in venture cap-like projects, and YouTube valued at a similar price-to-hours-watched ratio as other media companies. We then apply an appropriate multiple to search EBITA2 considering its low incremental capital needs, high market share, and strong industry tailwind.

John Rotonti: Are there ways of identifying what I'll call non-GAAP compounders, and is this something you try to do? These are fast-growth companies that are investing heavily today so they may not be generating a GAAP profit. I think some metrics to focus on may be customer retention and market share.

Bill Nygren: Any time you can identify a measure of value that isn't earnings-based, you have the potential to see value compounding where investors focused on reported earnings don't

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

see it. Examples we have profited from include using price-to-sales3 to identify value growth at Amazon, using price-to-subscriber to value cable TV or programming companies, price-to- EBITDA plus R&D for drug companies. All can be examples of businesses where growth capital is invested through the income statement rather than being capitalized.

John Rotonti: From what I can tell, you have tended to sell once a stock price approaches your estimate of fair value. Is this always the case, or are there some companies that you consider of such high quality that you would consider holding as long as the valuation does not balloon outside a zone of reasonableness?

Bill Nygren: When we purchase a stock at Oakmark, we set a sell target that is based on our best estimate of the value of that company. Our value estimate incorporates our belief about how the business quality compares to other businesses—higher-quality companies would benefit from higher multiples used to set sell targets. While we own a stock, the analyst's job is to constantly refine and update our estimate of fundamental value, and thus the sell target. When that target is reached, unless we are delaying the sale to allow a gain to benefit from lower long-term capital gain tax rates, we sell.

Investing is always about opportunity cost—by definition, having your assets invested in a specific portfolio of stocks means you have no capital remaining for the stocks not in the portfolio. One of the all-time great investors, Charlie Munger, is constantly reminding us that some conclusions are easier to reach if we invert our thinking. So let's assume we want to hold stocks of great businesses when they appear fully valued. The capital used to make room for holding those stocks means you no longer have as much capital to buy all the stocks you have identified as undervalued. You would effectively be saying that a fully valued stock is a superior investment to an undervalued stock. The only way that could be true is if you didn't build in an appropriate multiple premium for a great business when setting your sell target. I think it is a very risky game for a value investor to become a momentum investor once a stock has reached its sell target.

John Rotonti: Do you meet with management?

Bill Nygren: Yes, we meet with almost every management we invest with.

When I joined Harris Associates (the advisor to the Oakmark Funds) in 1983, my boss asked me to go to a due diligence meeting for an IPO and report back. Upon returning, I told him the CEO was extremely impressive. He leaned back in his chair, took a big puff of his cigar, and then said, "I don't want you giving your opinion on a CEO until you've seen 100 of them. Only then can you start to tell the top from the bottom decile. Of course they are impressive, how do you think they get to be CEOs?"

Though I didn't appreciate his comment at the time, the more years that have passed, the more I see the wisdom in what he said. It is too easy to complete all your work on a company, then meet management and convince yourself they are exceptional. Rating managements effectively requires just as much rigor as does a valuation model.

We have specific goals of what we want to learn from management meetings. As long-term holders, our questions are never about next quarter or the outlook for the year. We are trying to

learn how they think, what their long-term goals are, how they are incentivized, and how they will judge their own success or failure. It is a very different conversation than we would have if we were trying to refine our earnings estimate. Think about the questions you would ask someone you didn't know personally who wanted you to become their business partner—that is the direction our conversations normally go.

Just like our valuation models aren't always perfect, neither are our qualitative assessments of managements. But if you judge our success against a goal of being directionally right more often than not, I believe getting to know management teams has been very additive to our process.

John Rotonti: Do you have any performance metrics that you prefer management compensation be based on?

Bill Nygren: We have one objective when looking at management compensation: We want to believe that they will maximize their personal economics by maximizing the long-term return on the stock. For that reason, we prefer performance metrics that drive fundamental value and that they be measured on a per-share basis. It is easy to make a company bigger by diluting the shareholders. Every management team says they want to maximize shareholder value; the elite management teams maximize per-share value.

John Rotonti: When we experience a broad market sell-off (say 20% or 30% or more), what are you looking to buy first? Do you buy more of your core holdings? Do you look to purchase shares of businesses that may have been on your watch list but the valuation never made sense? Do you go first to the companies offering the largest margin of safety?

Bill Nygren: People who own the Oakmark Funds expect us to be reasonably fully invested most of the time. They are hiring us to find stocks that are better than the average stock, not to guess future stock market direction. In an ideal world, our investors would respond to a 20% correction by giving us more money to capitalize on the price decline. But unfortunately, very few investors behave that way. The result is that when the market corrects, we rarely have much new cash to invest. So our process is the same whether stocks are down 20% or up 20%. We want our assets invested in the stocks that have the best risk-adjusted expected returns. We are always looking for opportunities to sell stocks at or near our estimate of value and reinvest those funds in stocks selling well below our value estimate. Large market moves often create more pricing variations one stock to the next, so we tend to be more active after bigger market moves.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oakmx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Fund declined 1% in the first quarter of 2016, and it lagged behind the 1% gain for the S&P 5004. While the broader market increased only modestly from the first day of the quarter to the last, a closer look shows heightened intra-quarter volatility, with a 10% decline during the first half of the quarter followed by a swift recovery during the second half. Not surprisingly, oil prices followed a similar pattern, and the Fund's energy stocks increased from their early quarter lows. Interest rates remained at decades-low levels during the quarter, fueling "lower for longer" concerns, which along with worries about energy exposure added further pressure to the Fund's financial stocks. At Oakmark, we remain focused on assessing the long-term underlying value of businesses, which we believe are much less volatile than stock prices. As such, the financial sector's pronounced weakness has made the segment more attractive to us, and despite recent share price declines, financial companies still represent almost one-third of the Fund's equity holdings.

Our biggest contributing sectors for the first quarter were industrials and information technology, while Whirlpool and Cummins were the top individual contributors. The Fund's worst contributing sectors for the quarter were financials and materials, and our worst contributing securities were Bank of America and Citigroup.

There were no new additions to the portfolio during the first quarter, and we eliminated positions in General Mills, American Express, Union Pacific and Chesapeake Energy. General Mills has provided favorable returns since we added the stock in early 2014, and we sold our position as the share price approached our estimate of intrinsic value. When a business doesn't meet our expectations, we reduce our intrinsic value estimate accordingly, and the remaining three eliminations fall into that category. Selling our positions in American Express, Union Pacific and Chesapeake Energy allowed us to take tax losses while reinvesting proceeds into businesses in which we have more long-term confidence. Specifically, Chesapeake Energy has been a poor performer as oil prices have dropped from over $100 per barrel to less than $40 per barrel. Therefore, we swapped our Chesapeake holdings for other energy holdings that are also undervalued based on expected cost-cutting and higher commodity prices, but have what we believe are stronger balance sheets.

Portfolio Manager

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund declined 6%, compared to a 1% gain in the S&P 500 Index4. Our financial sector holdings accounted for over 80% of the decline in the Fund this quarter. While we are disappointed with this outcome, we remain confident in our financial holdings and the same process that has delivered success since the Fund's inception.

The three largest detractors from performance were Bank of America (-19%), Citigroup (-19%) and American International Group (-12%). Concerns about the economy and lower near-term expectations for interest rates have pressured financial stock prices broadly, and our holdings were not immune. Importantly, our values already reflect normalized credit losses and relatively minor interest rate increases over the next two years. While stresses in the energy and mining sectors will likely lead to some related credit losses for the banks, we believe the impact to value will prove de minimis as exposures are relatively small across our holdings. Meanwhile, operational performance and capital allocation are tracking with our expectations. Therefore, we view the lower share prices as merely increasing the discount to value at which these already cheap financials were trading, and we remain very confident in these holdings. The management and directors of Bank of America, Citigroup and JP Morgan seem to agree as they personally bought an aggregate $31.5 million of their companies' stock during the first quarter.

Our largest contributors to performance were Oracle (+12%), Apache (+11%) and General Electric (+3%). Oracle has been managing its customers' transition to the cloud largely as we have expected. We believe Apache has the balance sheet and asset quality to survive this downturn in oil and gas prices, and we continue to like what the new management team is doing to preserve and grow per share value. GE has been a welcome port in the recent market storm as it has benefitted from company-specific improvements in margins and capital allocation, and it has enjoyed well-deserved multiple expansion from its reduced dependence on earnings from GE Capital.

While there were no new companies purchased in the quarter, recent volatility in the equity and fixed income markets allowed us to purchase securities within the capital structure of two existing holdings in a way that maintained upside to these undervalued companies and added downside protection, while also providing a tax benefit. In the case of Chesapeake Energy, we purchased bonds at prices that offered similar upside to the equity, despite higher seniority in the capital structure, while capturing a tax loss on the sale of equity. Similarly, we have increased our position in Fiat Chrysler mandatory convertible bonds at prices that preserved the upside of the equity with the added benefit of downside protection through a unique conversion feature, purchased at minimal additional cost, while capturing a tax loss as we sold a corresponding dollar amount of Fiat Chrysler equity. In January, we also sold Ferrari shares upon

distribution from Fiat Chrysler because the shares were near our estimate of intrinsic value. We used the proceeds to purchase a like dollar amount of Fiat Chrysler shares, which were selling at a much larger discount to our estimate of value.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

Rocky Markets, Steady Strategy

The S&P 5004 gained 1% this quarter, a modest increase by historical standards but one few are complaining about given the unusually rough start to the year. Within the first four trading days, the index was down 5% and 2016 took the award for worst-ever start to a year. And it only got worse. By the middle of February, the market had fallen by nearly 11%, driven by fears of a slowing global economy, especially relating to China. If this all sounds familiar, it's because nearly the same thing happened in August 2015: The market plunged 11% due to broadly similar concerns.

We are pleased that the market's rebound throughout the second half of the quarter lifted the Fund to a 1% return for the quarter, and also that the market's earlier decline allowed us to establish positions in four companies at prices that were on average 23% lower than at the start of the year. Investors' occasional manifestations of fear—and greed—often provide us with unusually good opportunities to carry out our disciplined, value-based investment strategy. Typically, that means that we venture toward whatever is out of favor and away from what is in favor. So while the world was fretting about a potential U.S. recession earlier this year, we added four economically sensitive businesses to the portfolio: Citigroup, Comerica, State Street and Jones Lang LaSalle.

It is fair to wonder how economically sensitive businesses fit into a conservative balanced fund. We believe two factors can transform volatile businesses into conservative investments. The first is price. If purchased at a low enough price in relation to estimated value, a cyclical business—like any other—can offer a margin of safety large enough to cushion the investment from many unforeseen negative developments. The second is time. While in the short term the economy—and therefore the earnings of economically sensitive businesses—might be unpredictable, over the long term growth can be more predictable (and so too are the earnings of economically sensitive businesses). The combination of buying at a sufficient discount to value and having a long time horizon—key elements of our overall investment strategy—makes us comfortable investing in businesses that may have volatile year-to-year results.

The fixed income market also presented us with compelling opportunities this quarter. A broad flight to safety caused corporate credit spreads to briefly widen to levels not seen since the financial crisis, which gave us the opportunity to increase our corporate bond portfolio by over 20% during the quarter. We will continue to look for attractive opportunities to increase our fixed income portfolio, but will proceed cautiously as corporate

credit spreads need to be wide enough to compensate us for the rise in treasury yields we expect over time.

Though it may be de rigueur for investment managers to proffer macroeconomic prognostications, we neither claim to know, nor do we make an effort to know, how the economy will perform this year or next. But we have great confidence that over the long run, the economy will continue to grow and thus serve as a tailwind to the companies in the Fund. As Warren Buffett said, since 1776 it has never paid to bet against the U.S. And that generally applies to the global economy as well. Inevitably, however, there will be periods when growth slows and even reverses. Such times aren't pleasant, but they don't change our confidence in the ultimate direction of the economy. Seven years ago, this long-term perspective enabled us to confidently execute our investment strategy during the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, and it continues to serve us well today.

Quarter Review

The Equity and Income Fund returned 1% in the quarter, which was in line with the Lipper Balanced Fund Index9, the Fund's performance benchmark. For the trailing year, the Fund had a loss of 5% versus a loss of 1% for the Lipper Index. Since the Fund's inception in 1995, the annualized compound rate of return is 10%, compared to the Lipper Index return of 7% over the same time period.

Oracle, Philip Morris International, Glencore, Kate Spade and CVS Health led the list of contributors for the quarter. The largest detractors were Bank of America, General Motors, Borg Warner, Goldman Sachs and TD Ameritrade. Financials in general had a difficult quarter, but we remain confident that these stocks are undervalued.

Transaction Activity

As mentioned above, we added four companies to the portfolio. While three of these businesses are banks, each faces different market concerns: emerging market exposure for Citigroup, energy lending for Comerica, and interest rate and market sensitivity for State Street. The fourth addition, commercial real estate services provider Jones Lang LaSalle, is outside of the banking industry, but is also economically sensitive. A summary of each addition is provided below:

Citigroup: We believe that universal banks are significantly undervalued relative to their normalized earnings power. Citigroup's global franchise gives it a unique advantage as the company has more than twice as many country banking licenses and direct local payment network connections as its closest

competitor. This unique global reach is an attractive asset that is virtually impossible to replicate in today's regulatory environment, and we believe it makes Citigroup one of the only viable choices for multinational corporations looking for a consolidated banking relationship. We calculate that Citi has meaningful excess capital, which—combined with its significant deferred tax assets—should give its management team various options to increase shareholder value.

Comerica: Comerica is a well-capitalized, middle-market regional bank focused primarily on commercial lending activities. The bank's most distinguishing characteristics are its especially asset-sensitive balance sheet and its low cost deposit base, which we believe will give it pronounced earnings leverage should interest rates eventually rise as we expect. Comerica's exposure to Texas—and by extension, the energy market—has weighed heavily on the company's share price. We have confidence that any credit losses here will be manageable given that only a small portion of the company's overall loan portfolio consists of energy exposure. Plus, the management team has a strong underwriting track record. Trading at a meaningful discount to tangible book value, peer valuations and our assessment of private market value, we believe Comerica is an attractive investment opportunity.

State Street: State Street is one of the world's largest trust banks and asset managers. As a trust bank, the company provides critical back office services to owners of financial assets for which it receives fees. In the process of providing these services, State Street also holds client deposits, which it invests. The resulting spread income significantly drives State Street's earnings. We believe State Street will continue to grow with global financial assets and along the way is returning the vast majority of its earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks. We believe State Street's current valuation is too low for this high-return, growing business.

Jones Lang LaSalle: Jones Lang LaSalle is one of the world's largest commercial real estate services providers. Its scale, along with its product breadth, allows the company to provide differentiated services to large corporate customers, which are increasingly outsourcing real estate management needs. Smaller competitors have difficulty matching this value proposition, giving Jones Lang LaSalle increased market share in what remains a fragmented industry. While commercial real estate markets are inevitably cyclical, an increasing percentage of its revenue comes from recurring sources, and this should dampen the impact of cyclical market swings. We believe we are buying this high-quality, quickly growing franchise at a discount.

The Fund exited eight positions in the quarter. Broadridge and Bruker were both long-tenured holdings with results that validated our investment cases. We thank the management teams of both companies for their contribution to the Fund's success. Another company we exited that contributed to Fund returns was Precision Castparts, which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. As mentioned in the past, we seek to minimize taxable events by swapping holdings from loss positions into other holdings that offer similar exposures. This is the approach we took in selling Oceaneering, Rowan, Southern Copper and T. Rowe Price. The final elimination was Knowles, which was a small position received as a spin off from Dover and did not play out as we expected.

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

A Volatile Quarter

Although it was not particularly pleasant, the March quarter was certainly interesting. Global stocks began the year with a decline in excess of 10%, which was the worst start ever for a calendar year. The remainder of the quarter saw an uneven price recovery as investors strained to understand economic trends. A 50% rebound in the price of oil during the quarter seemed to boost investor confidence. In addition, central banks in many countries intensified their stimulation efforts. The impact of this monetary stimulation, however, remains unclear at best. One definitive outcome is negative interest rates, a heretofore almost unimaginable concept, but one that is now commonplace across European financial markets. We are uncertain if negative rates are prompting much economic activity, but it is clear to us that they are crimping banking industry profitability. Investors have also been forced to grapple with political dysfunction in some countries and increasing political populism in others. And although markets seem increasingly inured to the reality of frequent terrorism events, they contribute to a high level of investor insecurity as evidenced by the minimal returns to international markets since mid-2011.

The Oakmark Global Fund had a disappointing quarter, much of which was attributable to the Fund's significant commitment to financial industry stocks. (We discuss this in more detail below.) The Fund lost 7% in the quarter, which compares to the MSCI World Index11 which remained unchanged and the Lipper Global Fund Index's12 loss of 1%. Since inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 10%, which compares to 4% for both the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Fund Index.

Issuers domiciled in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and South Korea contributed most to the Fund's return in the quarter, while issuers domiciled in Switzerland, the U.S. and Japan were significant detractors. The five largest contributors to the Fund's return in the quarter were Oracle (U.S.), Itron (U.S.), Smiths Group (U.K.), Philips (Netherlands) and Samsung Electronics (Korea). The Fund holdings that detracted most were Credit Suisse (Switzerland), Bank of America (U.S.), Citigroup (U.S.), Toyota Motor (Japan), Incitec Pivot (Australia) and Julius Baer Group (Switzerland). Again, notice that four of the bottom six largest detractors from return were all financial institutions.

Fears of harsher regulations, minimal or negative interest rates hurting near-term profitability, and the risk of credit losses on loans to the oil industry have weighed on the share prices of the Fund's financial holdings, and nearly all declined more than 10% in the quarter. Since the financial industry was the Fund's largest sector weighting at the beginning of the quarter, it is not surprising that our absolute performance for the period was poor.

The regulatory headwind for financials has been in place for some time and has already caused us to lower our estimate of

normal returns, and thus, the multiples we are willing to pay for the financials we own. While we do not expect the regulatory environment to improve, it is nice to see signs that things are not getting worse. An example of this was the lower-than-expected leverage ratio minimums set by the Basel Committee late last year. Regardless, the balance sheets of our financial holdings have improved over the past few years and meet regulatory minimums.

Quantitative easing in many countries, along with the lack of rate increases by the Fed, has caused rates to stay lower for longer than even we expected. Having said that, the possibility of rates staying below or near zero forever does not coincide with long-term credit cycles, nor do we believe the current level of inflation or growth will persist and warrant easy money into perpetuity. As rates normalize, spreads between financial industry liabilities and assets will widen, and profitability should materially increase.

Although oil prices have improved, they remain far below levels of even one year ago, and this has caused financial distress for many oil-related businesses. If oil prices stay low, there is a chance to see defaults and/or bankruptcies that would hurt the financial industry in general and our financial holdings specifically. However, when we compare our holdings' direct exposure to oil loans with their overall loan portfolios, we believe that any losses from oil loans would primarily affect their income statements (i.e., reduce their earnings) rather than their capital or balance sheets. Since all of our financial holdings have ample capital, we do not believe that low oil prices will significantly hurt their business values.

Lastly, Credit Suisse detracted the most from the Fund's performance, reducing the Fund's return by 2%. One-off expenses related to litigation, pension true-up charges and write-downs on certain credit assets were negative surprises. However, these disappointing results have caused the management team to accelerate the restructuring and reduction of non-core investment banking lines of business. Though these changes may cause short-term pains, we view these actions as positive. They are in line with new CEO Tidjane Thiam's strategy to emphasize the company's wealth management business, which has very good secular growth trends, is fee based and requires little capital.

Portfolio Activity

As noted above, international stock indexes have stalled over the past five years while U.S. indexes have continued their choppy advance. In addition to a strong dollar, these results also reflect the fact that the U.S. economy has outperformed other developed nations over this period. We have responded to this disparate market action by gradually shifting Fund assets from U.S. to international investments; this was also true in the March quarter, as we reduced the U.S. allocation to 39%. The

Oakmark.com 23



Oakmark Global Fund  March 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

Fund's commitment to Switzerland remains the largest overweighting relative to the MSCI World Index. Of course, our country weights reflect our search for the best available values in individual securities rather than our beliefs about particular countries.

We eliminated three holdings in the quarter, two domestic and one international. The three eliminations were all small positions in the Fund. We sold Kuehne + Nagel (Switzerland) as it approached its sell target in order to raise cash to purchase more attractive issues. We sold Chesapeake Energy (U.S.) and Oceaneering International (U.S.) shares as we reoriented the Fund's energy allocation. Centene's acquisition of Health Net also became effective in March, and the Fund received a mix of cash and Centene shares as payment. We salute Health Net's management for their successful completion of this transaction.

CarMax was our one new purchase in the Fund. CarMax is the largest retailer of used cars in the U.S., but the company's market penetration is still quite low. Nevertheless, CarMax already enjoys significant scale advantages in data collection and optimization. The company's focus on data analysis provides ever-increasing advantages in inventory management and pricing. This helps CarMax to achieve industry-leading inventory turnover, which results in high returns on invested capital. We believe that the company's growth potential is substantial, particularly given what we perceive to be weak competition.

Currency Hedges

We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. We maintained our defensive currency hedges and ended the quarter with 26% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar hedged.

Oakmark Global Select Fund  March 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary

oakwx@oakmark.com

The Oakmark Global Select Fund declined 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, underperforming the MSCI World Index11, which was flat for the quarter. The Fund has returned an average of 7% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 4% over the same period.

The largest contributor to performance for the quarter was Oracle (U.S.), which returned 12%. Shares reacted positively to stronger-than-expected fiscal third quarter results from the cloud-based business. We believe Oracle's successful transition to the cloud indicates that the company is on the right track. Management also recently announced a $10 billion increase to Oracle's existing share repurchase program. Even though its stock has enjoyed recent price increases, we believe Oracle remains undervalued relative to its normalized earnings power.

Credit Suisse (Switzerland) was the largest detractor for the quarter, declining by 34%. Although CEO Tidjane Thiam warned that fourth-quarter earnings would be weak, some one-off expenses related to litigation, pension true-up charges and write-downs on certain credit assets were negative surprises during the period. However, this has caused the management team to accelerate the restructuring and reduction of non-core investment banking lines of businesses. The goal is to emphasize the wealth management business that has very good secular growth trends, is fee based and requires little capital. We believe Credit Suisse's capital position remains solid with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.4% as of year-end, which is in excess of regulators' 10% requirement. Despite some near-term challenges, we continue to believe that over time shareholders will benefit from CEO Thiam's initiatives to correct some legacy missteps, grow the business and reduce costs.

We did not add or remove any names from the Fund during the quarter. Geographically, 45% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of quarter end while approximately 45% were allocated to equities in Europe, 5% in South Korea and 5% in Japan.

We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued relative to the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 26% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.

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

Oakmark International Fund  March 31, 2016

Portfolio Manager Commentary

oakix@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Fund declined 3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index13, which declined 2% over the same period. Most importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 9% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6% per year over the same period.

Glencore (Switzerland), one of the world's largest commodities and trading companies, was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 70%. Concerns about weaker-than-expected demand for copper in China drove the price of commodities lower last year and negatively impacted Glencore's share price. The market overreacted to the weaker demand, and we used the opportunity to buy shares at what we believed to be attractive prices. Glencore has taken action to counter the negative market impact. During the quarter, investors reacted positively to news that the company delivered on recent guidance for fiscal 2015, as well as to management's aggressive and well-specified plan to deleverage the company's balance sheet. Management has indicated that the debt restructuring plan and asset sales are progressing as expected. Despite the continued weak commodity prices, Glencore should still be able to generate $3 billion in free cash flow in fiscal 2016, which will aid in debt reduction. Additionally, management noted that they are seeing stronger demand for commodities across China than many were expecting. We believe that the prices for Glencore's primary commodity exposures are low relative to fundamental value and will rebound over time. As a result, our investment thesis remains intact.

Credit Suisse (Switzerland) was the largest detractor for the quarter, declining by 34%. Although CEO Tidjane Thiam warned that fourth-quarter earnings would be weak, some one-off expenses related to litigation, pension true-up charges and write-downs on certain credit assets were negative surprises during the period. However, this has caused the management team to accelerate the restructuring and reduction of non-core investment banking lines of businesses. The goal is to emphasize the wealth management business that has very good secular growth trends, is fee based and requires little capital. We believe Credit Suisse's capital position remains solid with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.4% as of year-end, which is in excess of regulators' 10% requirement. Despite some near-term challenges, we continue to believe that over time shareholders will benefit from CEO Thiam's initiatives to correct some legacy missteps, grow the business and reduce costs.

During the quarter we sold our positions in GlaxoSmithKline (U.K.), Olympus (Japan), Schindler Holding (Switzerland), Secom (Japan) and Swedish Match (Sweden) as they approached or hit our estimate of intrinsic value. We purchased two new names during the quarter: ASML Holding (the Netherlands), one of the world's largest providers of semiconductor

lithography capital equipment; and Taiwan Semiconductor (Taiwan), the market leader with greater than 50% market share in the semiconductor foundry business.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with 68% of our holdings in Europe, 18% in Japan and 3% in Australia. The remaining positions are in South Korea, Indonesia, the U.S., China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Taiwan and Israel.

We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. We maintained our defensive currency hedges and ended the quarter with approximately 26% of the Swiss franc and 11% of the Australian dollar hedged.

We would like to thank you for your continued support.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oakex@oakmark.com

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund declined 1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index16, which returned 1% for the same period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9% per year.

The top-performing stock for the quarter was Primary Health Care. Primary operates more than 70 health care clinics in Australia and is also one of the largest providers of pathology and diagnostic imaging services in the country. During the quarter, Primary reported its fiscal year 2016 first-half earnings, which met analysts' outlook for the reporting period and showed that the company's medical centers business demonstrated stronger growth and margin development despite a lower number of doctors for the year and fee index freezes. On a recent trip to Australia, we met with CEO Peter Gregg and CFO Malcolm Ashcroft, and we continue to believe that management at the company has improved significantly. We believe the company is taking necessary actions including moving to a more sustainable doctor recruitment model, increasing the level of talent within the organization and reducing financial leverage. Furthermore, we like that management is focused on recycling capital from non-core assets, such as the recent sale of the company's software business for general practitioners in order to fund organic growth and improve returns on capital in the company's core medical center, pathology and imaging businesses.

The Fund's largest detractor for the quarter was a Swiss private bank holding company, EFG International. During the quarter, EFG International announced a proposed acquisition of one of the oldest private Swiss banks, BSI. BSI's assets under management are similar in size to EFG's and the combined entity would become the fifth-largest private bank in Switzerland. Due to the size of the deal, EFG will need to issue equity to finance the transaction; this news hurt EFG's share price during the quarter. However, in our view, the longer-term synergy opportunities are significant and if the merger is executed properly, we believe that the combined entity's earnings power should be materially higher than EFG as a stand-alone entity.

We initiated five new positions in the Fund this quarter: Aberdeen Asset Management, Azimut Holding, Ferrari, Interpump Group and Regus. Aberdeen Asset Management is based in the U.K. and is one of the world's largest asset management firms, with operations in over 20 countries. Azimut Holding is an Italy-based investment management company that offers asset management and financial services products to private and institutional clients. Ferrari is an Italian luxury sports car manufacturer. Interpump is an Italian manufacturer and marketer of high-pressure pumps, hydraulics and cleaning equipment that provides products to clients in over 60 countries. Lastly, based in the U.K., Regus is a global flexible workplace provider that serves more than two million customers in 2,600 locations across 900 cities in 106 countries. We eliminated our

positions in Fugro (Netherlands), MLP (Germany), Treasury Wine Estates (Australia) and Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment (Austria) during the quarter.

Geographically, we ended the quarter with 20% of our holdings in Asia, 61% in Europe and 12% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America (Canada and the U.S.), Latin America (Brazil) and the Middle East (Israel).

We still maintain hedge positions on two of the Fund's currency exposures, and as of the quarter end, 11% of the Australian dollar and 26% of the Swiss franc exposures were hedged.

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 two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. Class I Shares are offered to the general public. Class II Shares are offered to certain retirement plans such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Class II Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average net assets of Class II Shares of the Funds. This service fee is paid to a third-party administrator for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Class I Shares do not have such an associated service fee. Global Select had no outstanding Class II shares during the six-month period ended March 31, 2016.

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

Redemption fees

Int'l Small Cap imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to help offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by abusive trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is paid to the Fund and is 2% of the redemption value and is deducted from either the redemption proceeds or from the balance in the account. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method is used to determine the holding period. The Fund may approve the waiver of redemption fees on certain types of accounts held through intermediaries, pursuant to the Fund's policies and procedures. Redemption fees collected by the Fund, if any, are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Security valuation

The Funds' share prices or net asset values ("NAVs") are calculated as of the close of regular session trading (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on any day on which the NYSE is open for trading. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges in the United States and over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price on the day of valuation, or lacking any reported sales that day, at the most recent bid quotation. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market System. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges outside the United States are valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sales price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, or the official closing price, or are based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Each long-term debt instrument is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, lacking any reported sale price on the valuation date, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations or, if the mean is not available, at the most recent bid quotation.

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

Fair value measurement

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

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The Funds recognize transfers between level 1 and level 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At March 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2016 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Offsetting assets and liabilities

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

At March 31, 2016, certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions, in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the table included in the Forward foreign currency contracts section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2016, each Fund held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.

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

Foreign currency translations

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

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

Forward foreign currency contracts

Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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, 2016, Global, Global Select, International, and Int'l Small Cap held forward foreign currency contracts, which are considered derivative instruments, each of whose counterparty is State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Security transactions and investment income

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

Short sales

Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. Each Fund may sell shares of when-issued securities. Typically, a Fund sells when-issued securities when a company announces a spin-off or re-organization, and the post-spin-off or post-re-organization shares begin trading on a when-issued basis prior to the effective date of the corporate action. A sale of a when-issued security is treated as a short sale for accounting purposes. After the effective date, when shares of the new company are received, any shares sold on a when-issued basis will be delivered to the counterparty. At March 31, 2016 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, 2016 none of the Funds held when-issued securities.

Accounting for options

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

Credit facility

The Trust has a $300 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $200 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 0.18% 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, 2016.

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, 2016 none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.

Repurchase agreements

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

The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. At March 31, 2016 all of the Funds held repurchase agreements.

Security lending

Each Fund, except Oakmark, may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Treasuries maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by the Fund. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. In addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period.

At March 31, 2016 Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $23,847,073 and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $24,943,759.

Restricted securities

Each Fund may invest in restricted securities, which generally are considered illiquid, but such illiquid securities may not comprise more than 15% of the value of a Fund's net assets at the time of investment. The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued in good faith according to the securities valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.

At March 31, 2016 Select, Equity and Income and International held the following restricted securities:

Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Federal income taxes

It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. There is no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2014 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

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 is contractually obligated through January 31, 2017 to reimburse each Fund Class to the extent, but only to the extent, that its annualized expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary charges such as litigation costs, but including fees paid to the Adviser) exceed the percent set forth below of average daily net assets of each Fund Class.

The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2019, amounts reimbursed to that Fund Class, except to the extent that the Fund Class already has paid such recoupment to the Adviser or such recoupment would cause the annual ordinary operating expenses of a Fund Class for that fiscal year to exceed the applicable limit stated above. As of March 31, 2016, there were no amounts subject to recoupment.

The Adviser and the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an

62 OAKMARK FUNDS



Oakmark Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

agreement with the Adviser that calls for each Fund to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediary (which generally are a percentage of value of the shares held) not exceeding the lesser of 75% of the fees charged by the intermediary or what the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer's shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediary. The Adviser pays the remainder of the fees. The fees incurred by the Funds are reflected as other shareholder servicing fees in the Statements of Operations.

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

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

72 OAKMARK FUNDS




The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding The Board Of Trustees' October 2015 Approval Of Investment Advisory Contracts As Approved April 27, 2016

Each year, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") 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"), is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") to determine 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 21, 2015, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, upon recommendation of the Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee"), 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 the Agreements through October 31, 2016.

In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed materials provided by the Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Trustees and counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"), and met with senior representatives of the Adviser regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board retained an independent data provider to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and for comparable funds.

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. During the last year, the Committee and the Board met multiple times to consider the Agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered a broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review 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 periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.

Throughout the process, the Independent Trustees were advised by Independent Counsel and received from Independent Counsel a memorandum 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 review, the Committee and the Independent Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser.

In connection with their consideration of each Agreement, the Committee and the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund, as well as performance information for an appropriate market index and a peer group of other mutual funds, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund, as well as fee and expense information for comparable funds and separate accounts managed by the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders, and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser that result from its relationship with each Fund.

Below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board regarding various factors. In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed the information differently. The Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.

1.  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 reviewed the Adviser's resources and 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 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.

2.  Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, and the performance of a group of comparable funds pursuing broadly similar strategies (the Fund's "Performance Universe") selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Because the Committee commenced its review in June, the performance periods considered by the Board were those ended on April 30, 2015. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five-, and ten-year performance. 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 three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2015, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2015.

Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2015.

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, 2015.

Oakmark.com 73



Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2015, but underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2015.

Oakmark Global Select Fund. Noting that the Oakmark Global Select Fund commenced operations in October 2006, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its Performance Universe during all periods presented.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2015, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2015.

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, five-, and ten-year period ending April 30, 2015, and underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-year period ending April 30, 2015.

In addition to comparing each Fund's performance to that of its Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance compared to that of its benchmark and other comparative data provided by Broadridge, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their Performance Universe, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of a Fund's Agreements.

3.  Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser

Using information provided by Broadridge, the Board evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the advisory fee for other mutual funds comparable in size, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group"), and each Fund's expense ratio compared to that of the Expense Group.

The Board also reviewed the Adviser's advisory fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and subadvised 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 funds and/or separate accounts, 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 regarding the Funds, and the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds.

The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees and the relationship of such compensation to the Adviser's ability to attract and retain quality personnel. The Board also considered fall-out benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. 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 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.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and expense ratio of each Fund is set forth below:

Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of each Fund's Expense Group.

Oakmark Fund and Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate is higher than the median of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that each Fund's total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, is lower than the median of each Fund's Expense Group. The Board also considered its negotiation with the Adviser, the result of which was the Adviser's agreement to add additional breakpoints to its investment advisory agreement with the Oakmark Fund to reduce the Adviser's fees at levels that would come into effect as fund assets continue to grow.

Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee and total expense ratio are lower than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group.

4.  Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies

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. The Board also considered that after negotiations with the Adviser, the Adviser agreed to additional breakpoints for the Oakmark Fund to reduce the Adviser's fees at levels that would come into effect as fund assets continue to grow.

5.  Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board also considered other benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. 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.

74 OAKMARK FUNDS



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 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 products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

6.  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, 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 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 the Funds 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 of providing the investment advisory and other services 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 review of the Agreements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund invests in medium- and lower-quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher-quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. Harris Associates L.P., the Fund's adviser, contractually agreed to limit Oakmark Equity and Income Fund's annual expenses to 1% of its average net assets through January 31, 2002. Absent this expense limitation, the Fund's total return would have been lower.

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.
