FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

One of our most important responsibilities as mutual fund managers is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner. Some of our comments in our letters to shareholders are based on current management expectations and are considered "forward-looking statements". Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from our expectations. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "estimate", "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "plan" and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

President's Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The third quarter was extremely difficult for investors around the world as the deepening problems in the banking system continued to depress global markets. Through the end of the third quarter, the broad U.S. and global market indexes fell over 25% from their peak last fall. The weakness has continued into the early days of October. While our Funds all performed better than the market averages in the third quarter, we are disappointed that recent returns fell short of our long-term goal of positive absolute returns.

The Economy and Stock Valuation

The world banking system is facing its most difficult challenge in decades. Debt markets are in disarray, and with the decline of equity markets that has continued into early October, the market's decline is now one of the deepest in many years. Although economic data indicate that the economy is very weak, if not in recession, it is important to note that recent market weakness does not seem to be a product of lower business values, but instead a crisis of market liquidity and confidence. The credit crunch is creating forced selling across broad sectors of the capital markets. Limited liquidity and a surplus of sellers have pushed prices down quickly. Other investors, spooked by market declines, have also run for the exits, adding fuel to the fire.

Last fall, before the current market decline set in, we believed that average equity valuations were reasonable. Although our outlook for corporate earnings is lower today, we do not believe that the change justifies the 40%+ declines of the broader market indexes. In fact, for our list of approved securities that our Funds can purchase, the average stock now sells at less than 40% of our estimate of intrinsic value—an historic extreme.

As we step back and examine the market from an unemotional perspective, we are sobered by the challenges facing the world's financial system, but we are won over by low valuations and investors' deeply negative sentiments. This is consistent with our belief that the best time to buy stocks is when it is emotionally hardest to do.

Cash Management and Securities Lending

Investment managers and money market funds recently made headlines when two activities believed to be relatively low risk—cash management and securities lending—produced surprise losses for investors. In good economic times, it is easy for investors to reach for extra returns by accepting what they think is a small amount of additional risk. We have often spoken about the importance of capital preservation and our desire to take risk only when we believe that we are generously rewarded for doing so. We take this approach because we understand that the unexpected often occurs and that in turbulent times, outcomes can be extreme. Last month, for example, investors learned this lesson anew as Lehman's bankruptcy filing triggered a long chain of losses for investors and money market funds that held Lehman Brothers commercial paper or participated in securities lending programs exposed to the credit of Lehman and/or other low quality collateral.

We have received many inquiries from shareholders asking about our cash management and securities lending practices. You should know that the Funds' approach to these matters is entirely consistent with the principles stated above. The Funds' cash management strategy stresses capital preservation. We generally invest only in: 1) short–term U.S. Treasury securities, 2) U.S. agencies and 3) overnight repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury or agency securities.

Securities lending is a means by which funds earn a fee by making a temporary loan of a security from their portfolio to a broker/dealer to support that firm's trading activities. The lending fund then receives collateral from the borrower that it may retain if the borrower is unable to return the securities when required.

Each of our Funds, except Oakmark Fund, is permitted to engage in securities lending. Historically, however, we have only done so infrequently and selectively. Generally, we limit our securities lending to special circumstances when the market is willing to pay fees that we believe are well above average. When we lend securities, we take the conservative approach of only accepting U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for the loaned securities. These requirements typically reduce the fees that we earn, but they also provide us with greater security and limit our exposure to losses on collateral and collateral pools. For more information about these practices, please read our Statement of Additional Information at Oakmark.com.

Capital Gains Distributions

In line with our desire to minimize the taxes that our shareholders pay, our portfolio managers pay close attention to taxable gains and losses and try to minimize required tax distributions. While volatile markets can make this more challenging, we are pleased to announce that estimated capital gains distributions for all of our Funds will be substantially smaller this year, and will equal zero for some Funds.

We would like to thank you for your continued patience and support. We welcome your comments and questions. You can reach us via e-mail at ContactOakmark@oakmark.com.

FUND EXPENSES

A shareholder of each Fund incurs two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees, and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses

The following table provides information about actual account values and actual fund expenses for Class I of each Fund. The table shows the expenses a Class I shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, 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 Class I shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at September 30, 2008, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period row as shown below.

Shares of all Funds, other than Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, invested for 90 days or less may be charged a 2% redemption fee. 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 Class I 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 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 third line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

OAKMARK AND OAKMARK SELECT FUNDS

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

I'm writing this letter on the last day of the quarter. The stock market fell more points yesterday than it ever has before, the S&P 500³ is down 19% for the year, and the House has voted down the Treasury's plan to stabilize the credit markets. During the quarter we witnessed the demise of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Washington Mutual and Wachovia Bank. Just one year ago those companies had a combined market value of over $400 billion. In such unsettled times I thought it might be useful to answer some basic questions that our shareholders have been frequently asking.

Should I sell stocks now?

It's unfortunate that this question is always asked after large declines rather than before. Everyone's risk tolerance is different, but if you can't sleep at night because you are so worried about stocks falling more, then yes, you should sell enough so you can sleep. It's never worth risking your health. You should also sell if you have invested money in the stock market that you know you will need to spend soon. We always encourage limiting stock market investments to capital that you aren't likely to need within the next five years.

If you are sleeping well and won't be a forced seller anytime soon, then we strongly believe you should not sell. In fact, we believe the decline in the market has created a very attractive environment for investing new capital. For most people, the right question to ask after a big decline is: "Should I be investing more?" We believe this is a very good time to be a cautiously optimistic buyer. I say "cautiously" because volatility has been so extreme that it seems prudent to keep some capital in reserve so that if prices fall further you can take advantage of them. Finally, remember that our Funds, like most equity mutual funds, are usually close to fully invested, so if you want to own more stocks, you need to invest additional capital.

Why do you say stocks are attractive?

Our view on whether a stock is attractive or not is based on the difference between our estimate of long-term value and the current stock price. When the stock price is well below our business value estimate, we say that stock is attractive. We started 2008 believing that many stocks were attractive—priced well below business value and likely to produce long-term returns that would significantly exceed returns on fixed income investments. Most of the businesses we own, with the exception of financial services companies, have grown business value this year more slowly than we expected, but they did grow. With stock prices down and business value up slightly, the discount to estimated fair value has increased. We therefore believe that stocks have become even more attractive investments.

You thought stocks were cheap last year, what went wrong?

Bear markets typically follow periods of excessive valuation, meaning stocks were selling at very high multiples of earnings. When price-to-earnings ratios become elevated, other investment opportunities, such as fixed income, become attractive substitutes. Investors sell stocks, driving down prices and increasing their prospective returns, and they buy bonds, reducing their yields. Eventually stocks look more attractive than bonds and the whole cycle repeats. This time, however, stock P/E⁴ ratios were not historically high, and competing bond yields did not look compelling in comparison. This market has been less about correcting overly generous valuations, and more about the fear that the losses in the banking system will spread to the rest of the economy. It wasn't the typical valuation correction, and we didn't anticipate the financial services collapse.

Why do you own any financial services companies?

Financial services companies are the exception to my comment that most of our stocks have slightly higher business value estimates today than they did a year ago. Mortgage losses for financials far exceeded our expectations and resulted in significant decreases to our value estimates. However, for most of these companies, stock prices have declined far more than estimated value. Therefore, their discount to value has grown. And for the survivors, the current turmoil has provided opportunities to make acquisitions that appear to have been real bargains. JPMorgan purchased Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual for almost nothing. Citigroup has announced the same with Wachovia. These companies sell at low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, have value additive acquisition opportunities, and face less competition than they previously did. We believe the winners will emerge as very strong companies.

What did you miss on Washington Mutual?

Washington Mutual was held in all three Funds I co-manage. We sold our position during the quarter when it appeared that regulators were increasingly looking at mark-to-market implied losses, which eliminated the chance that Washington Mutual could, over time, earn back its mortgage losses. Selling was the right decision but by the time we sold, the damage had been done. Owning Washington Mutual was a big mistake for which I fully accept responsibility. Though we believed home prices had been rising at an unsustainable pace, we took comfort that previous home price bubbles had corrected with home prices plateauing for several years rather than sharply falling. Expecting that to continue, I took too much comfort in the fact that the overwhelming majority of mortgages Washington Mutual owned had balances of less than 80% of appraised value. Believing that the collateral was so valuable, I wasn't as concerned as I should have been with softening underwriting standards. After all, if the borrower defaulted, the house could still be sold for more than the mortgage debt. After nationwide prices fell 20%—and further in hot markets—the collateral was no longer worth more than the loan, and serious losses resulted. A mortgage market previously viewed as secure became viewed as very risky. Sellers flooded the market, and prices fell sharply. Because of its leverage, Washington Mutual's assets, marked-to-market, were no longer greater than its liabilities. Ironically, the asset we've always believed was under appreciated, its strong retail deposit base, is now owned by another of our holdings, JP Morgan. Though there are many lessons to be learned from this error, perhaps the most important is that in today's economic climate, we need to consider a broader array of outcomes than we previously considered, especially for companies that employ financial leverage.

Do you think the Paulson plan can work?

Yes. Every banking executive we talk to says their models show that mortgages are worth much more than they are selling for in the market. It makes sense to us that mortgages have become undervalued because so many financial firms have been forced to sell their positions. Market prices of mortgages fell which created losses and reduced the equity of the firms that held them. With typical leverage ratios of 15:1, each $1 loss forced the sale of $14 of assets, primarily mortgages. That further depressed prices, increasing losses, decreasing equity, and forcing more sales. The downward spiral fed on itself. In most markets, value buyers step in to take advantage of low prices and reverse that vicious cycle. But because the mortgage market is so large, that process will take a long time unless a very large investor intervenes. The government, borrowing for thirty years at less than a 5% interest rate, has more attractive access to capital than any private investor. That makes it especially well-suited to step in and eliminate the supply-demand imbalance. As Warren Buffett said, "People who are buying these instruments in the market are expecting to make 15 to 20 percent...If they (the government) do it right...I think they'll make a lot of money." I agree. Many say the proposal forces Main Street to bail out Wall Street. I see it as Main Street taking advantage of Wall Street's mistakes. Investing $700 billion in cheap mortgages should yield annual profits of double-digit billions, and have the nice side-effect of reversing the downward spiral in prices. If the process is not politicized, and the money is simply invested in attractively priced debt securities, we could be arguing several years from now about whether the profits should be spent on increased services or returned through lower taxes.

The market decline has been unpleasant and the landscape is changing rapidly, so it is hard to anticipate what will happen tomorrow or next week. But as long-term investors we think about five years from now, and it is easy to be excited about the opportunities we see today.

Oakmark Fund lost 1% of its value last quarter. That loss was relatively minor compared to the 8% drop in the S&P 500. We have two goals for our Fund. Number one is to grow your capital. Number two is to outperform our competitors. Losing a little money when competitors lose a lot doesn't thrill us. However, limiting losses in tough times is perhaps the single most important requirement for achieving long-term capital growth. As Warren Buffett said, "Over the years, a number of very smart people have learned the hard way that a long stream of impressive numbers multiplied by a single zero always equals zero."

In a quarter when many financial services stocks were obliterated, our three best performers, oddly, were financials: Bank of America, Capital One and JP Morgan. We believe all three have significantly improved their competitive position during this crisis. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. At the other extreme, stocks that hurt the Fund the most were Viacom, Texas Instruments and Merrill Lynch. A slowing economy reduced sales forecasts for both Viacom and Texas Instruments. We don't believe that the value of either company meaningfully declined. We sold Merrill Lynch after its agreement to merge with Bank of America. We also sold US Bancorp because it neared our sell target as other financials traded at increasing discounts. We sold Washington Mutual and Sprint because we were disappointed with their fundamental performance. New stocks in the portfolio include Ascent Media (spun-off from Discovery), American Express and Boeing. The American Express purchase is explained on our web site.

Boeing (BA – $57)

The Boeing Company is a leading defense contractor and commercial jet manufacturer. Last year Boeing stock reached $108 because investors were excited about prospects for commercial aviation. As oil prices rose, concerns mounted about the health of the airline industry, especially airlines based in the United States. Though we share those concerns, we note the strength of non-U.S. airlines and also the compelling economics, driven by better fuel efficiency, for modernizing the fleet. More importantly, we focus on the value of Boeing's defense division, which attracts far less attention than commercial aviation does. We believe that if one values its defense business as other publicly traded defense contractors are valued, it is nearly worth Boeing's current stock price, which means the price for commercial aviation is trivial. We believe Boeing is an exceptional value selling at only 8 times expected 2009 earnings.

* Not annualized

Oakmark Select Fund lost 7% last quarter, slightly less than the 8% loss for the S&P 500. Despite the larger losses many of our competitors suffered, we are always disappointed when we nearly match a market decline. Our best performer in the quarter was JP Morgan, which increased in value by more than a third. Last quarter we highlighted its bargain purchase of Bear Stearns. This quarter it added another bargain, Washington Mutual, which was one of our most negative performers. JP Morgan appears to have dodged the bullets from this financial crisis. It is now reaping the rewards of being capital rich, while its competition is capital starved.

Last quarter we stated that our three largest positions—Yum! Brands, H&R Block and Discovery Holdings—would likely be the most important factors for our future performance. H&R Block continued to be positively recognized for its new-found focus on its tax business, making it one of our best performers. Yum! Brands gave back some of its gains due to concern about a slowing Chinese economy. The performance of those two stocks basically offset each other. The other large holding, Discovery, had the most negative effect on Fund performance. Declining expectations for advertising in a weakening economy hurt many media companies, including Discovery. We believe Discovery's business value is not only intact, but growing, so we view the decline as a significant over-reaction. Discovery completed its restructuring last quarter, spinning off Ascent Media and eliminating its holding company structure. We view those changes as important positives, and we believe other investors will, too, after the financial industry settles down and investors focus more on fundamentals and less on price momentum.

If portfolio managers add value through their stock selection, then over the long run, their favorite stocks perform better than those they have less conviction about. Investing only in their favorite stocks, rather than fully diversifying, amplifies the effect, plus or minus, that stock selection has on their results. Concentrated investing has served us well over the life of the Fund. Although we are chastised by this year's performance, we remain confident that our stock selection will add value and that our focused approach will improve long-term results. Thank you for your continued confidence.

Quarter and Fiscal Year Review

Earlier this year one of our firm's equity traders quipped that "flat is the new up." At the time, we found this amusing, but sadly it now appears to be prophetic. Oakmark Equity and Income Fund declined in value by 7% for the quarter ended September 30, which contrasts to an 8% loss for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index, the Equity and Income Fund's primary standard for comparison. For the September 30 fiscal year, the numbers are -4% for the Fund and -15% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index. Long-time readers of these reports have endured regular pronouncements concerning your managers' unstinting focus on generating positive rates of return regardless of the environment, and we ask your indulgence as we reiterate that part of our philosophy.

Anyone reading this report is probably well aware of the math of investing, especially the discouraging power of negative returns. The simplest example is the one where a fund loses 50% in the first year requiring it to gain 100% in the second year just to return to breakeven. Negative return outcomes rapidly degrade even very long-term compounded growth rates. For the Equity and Income Fund, the past fiscal year's loss has been sufficient to reduce the annualized rate of return since inception (13 years) by more than one full percentage point. Of course, the Fund's returns have compared well to many others, and some of you have generously commented on that when you write to us. But in all honesty, your managers would be happier if the Fund were up 10% for the year. We are not in the business of besting competitors. Rather, we are in the business of stewarding our client-partners hard-earned assets so that they may maintain or even improve their lifestyles. Negative returns do not achieve that end no matter the comparative realities.

Both of the Fund's managers have had the privilege and daunting responsibility of serving on investment committees for eleemosynary endowment funds. One of us also serves as the chair of an organization's budget and finance committee. We experience first hand how negative returns harm endowments. The spending drain on the endowment continues during negative market periods, amplifying the shrinkage, a pattern that some of you have experienced personally. Eleemosynary institutions have the possibility of fund-raising their way back to breakeven (although that is easier said than done in the present environment), but for retired individuals who use the Equity and Income Fund as their entire investment program, fund-raising is not an option. Given the above, your managers must express how honored we are to have client-partners who have placed so much trust in Harris Associates generally and us specifically. We always strive to treat your assets with the respect that they deserve.

Activity

We are well aware that turnover of investments in the Fund is expensive for our shareholders, and we aim to hold turnover of equities to less than 40%. Extraordinary times produce higher turnover levels, however, and the September quarter was certainly an extraordinary time. We eliminated nine equity holdings, all U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed securities, and all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issued long-term debt. We initiated three new equity positions, received shares of Scripps Networks Interactive from a spinoff distribution, and meaningfully increased the Fund's U.S. Treasury holdings, while maintaining the Fund's duration in the fixed income portfolio at 2.5 years. The net effect of this activity left the Fund at its historical low for the percentage allocated to equities and, concomitantly, its highest short-term investment position.

The quarter saw the culmination of the Fund's second investing experience with UST, the smokeless tobacco and wine company. Altria Group has agreed to purchase the company for $68.50 per share, which made UST the biggest positive contributor to the Fund's return in the quarter. For many years UST's prodigious cash flow enabled the company to maintain a high dividend payout. While we were happy simply to enjoy the benefits of ownership of this business, we have long believed that it made sense for one of the cigarette companies to acquire UST. Altria's limited success in attacking the smokeless market with a Marlboro-branded product may have driven their management to the same conclusion.

Other strong contributors in the quarter (yes, there were a few) included Avon Products (solid earnings abroad), Foot Locker (fundamental results exceeded expectations that had become overly pessimistic), and the stocks of several mid-capitalization companies that bounced from extreme valuation levels. The bottom of the contributor/detractor list for the quarter featured previous winners, all energy-related. During the quarter, the price of natural gas declined to levels that make gas exceptionally cheap on a BTU-equivalent basis to crude oil. Some believe that the U.S. is entering a period of natural gas surpluses (remember the gas bubble earlier this decade?) that will hold down prices. Given this possibility, it is important that investments in this industry be with companies that are low-cost producers, and we believe that our holdings satisfy this criterion.

As mentioned above, we eliminated the Fund's substantial holdings of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed securities. These notes had become too richly priced, in our judgment. As well, we perceived the risk of an inflationary surge to be less than the probability of no inflation or even deflation. Finally, we sold all long-term holdings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the quarter. In hindsight, this proved to be a mistake as the government chose to protect the interests of debt-holders. While we foresaw this as a likely outcome, we sold the securities because the upside from the actual outcome was small and the downside could have been severe. We always prefer to assume risk in the equity portion of the portfolio, where upside is unlimited, rather than in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, where upside potential is always capped.

Mistake Buckets

In a recent interview, a consultant probed for our investing weaknesses and noted that he had categorized our missteps into various "mistake buckets." As you may well imagine, we spend a lot of time considering our mistakes, including the one mentioned in the preceding paragraph, but we had not spent time categorizing them. Since we focus our equity analysis on valuation, business fundamentals, and management, most of our equity mistakes derive from errors in those areas. In this discussion with the consultant, we found another type of error we make—one we might call "getting it half right," or not extending an insightful judgment far enough.

Oakmark Equity and Income is intended to be the least volatile Fund in the Oakmark Family. To that end, your managers seek to craft a balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds and pay considerable attention to the downside risk of each security. Several years ago our assessment of risk in the financial sector led us to limit the Fund's financial industry exposures to well-capitalized insurance companies. We failed to draw the conclusion, however, that our risk assessment on financials, if correct, would also portend difficult times for all leveraged companies. This failure resulted in our holding of IDEARC, the yellow pages business spun off from Verizon, which became the largest loser in dollar terms in the Fund's history.

We make plenty of mistakes, of course. In fact, we make so many that we think playing baseball is excellent experience for investors. Even the best hitters make outs in the majority of their at bats. But just like baseball batters as they anticipate the next pitch, we intend to be successful with every investment that we make for our clients. And similar to the batter who has trouble hitting curve balls, we must learn from our mistakes and develop the disciplines that make them less likely in the future.

As always, we thank you for being our shareholders and invite your comments and questions.

"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell."

Sir John Templeton

We write this letter at what, to use John Templeton's phrase, feels like a time of maximum pessimism. The great Sir John, an early advocate of global value investing, passed away early in the summer, so we will not be able to learn his opinion about whether we have reached the height of the current pessimism. Sir John is also credited with having said that the five most dangerous words in investing are "This time things are different." While we agree with his aphorism, we do believe that the current investing landscape differs greatly from others, especially given the increasing degree of economic globalization. The recent loss of faith in financial structures has come at a time of unprecedented leverage, which has produced a worldwide bear market of significant proportions.

In any event, we can filibuster no longer. For the quarter ended September 30, Oakmark Global Fund recorded a loss of 9%, compared to the 15% drop of the MSCI World Index, the industry's benchmark for global funds. The Lipper Global Fund Index registered a 14% decline. Countries where holdings contributed positively to relative performance were France, the U.K., and Italy, while the Fund's Irish, U.S., and Japanese positions had the largest negative impact on relative performance. Concerning individual holdings, it is often the case that a poor performer in one quarter may reverse and be a leader in the next, and the opposite occasionally occurs. During this quarter both phenomena occurred. XTO Energy, historically a strong contributor to Fund returns, was a detractor to the Fund's return, while Live Nation, the concert promotion and venue concern, rebounded strongly from its June 30 price to rise to the top of the contributors. For the Fund's fiscal year, which ended September 30, the returns are -22% for the Global Fund, -26% for the MSCI World Index, and -25% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.

We hate these returns as much as we imagine our shareholders do. Readers who are primarily familiar with U.S. investing returns may find it surprising to learn that the U.S. stock market has outperformed almost all other national stock markets for 2008 to date, at least in U.S. dollar terms. The stupefying volatility that U.S. investors witnessed in late September was foreshadowed elsewhere. For example, the Russian stock market declined roughly 40% in the first half of September before government intervention catalyzed a vigorous, if short-lived, rally. Less than two years ago we wrote about stock market volatility and

the fact that moderate single-digit rates of return are rare. Sometimes we are sorry to be correct!

We remain pleased to be able to report that the annualized rate of return from the Fund's inception is 12%. Testing a fund's long-term record at a time of great stress in the markets is probably the fairest measuring stick for investors. We sincerely hope that we never have the opportunity to test our long term record against a bear market more vicious than the current period.

Activity Review

Given that the breakdown between the U.S. and international investments remained nearly flat for the quarter, one could assume that we were rather inactive in trading. This was true in terms of new purchases—we made none. The Fund did receive shares of Ascent Media as a spinoff distribution from Discovery Holdings. Discovery itself transformed from a tracking stock to an operating company, changing its name to Discovery Communications.

We were more active on the sell side, eliminating holdings of Samsung (Korea), Cadbury (U.K.), Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (U.S.), Teradata (U.S.), and Viacom (U.S.). We attempt to be tax-sensitive as we manage the Fund, and most of these sales contributed to this tax-management effort.

Our hedges performed well during the quarter, adding approximately 2.6% to performance. As the dollar has strengthened versus the Pound and the Euro, we have reduced our hedges from approximately 65% to 40% and 60% to 50%, respectively. Our Swiss Franc hedge was maintained at approximately 75%, because the franc remains expensive versus the dollar and because of our heavy Swiss exposure.

Core Principles

When events have severely perturbed the markets, it often is helpful to review core principles. Before we invest in an equity, we must decide that a company's shares sell at a substantial discount to intrinsic value, that the company has demonstrated a history of growth in intrinsic value per share, and that the company's managers act as owners of the business and have a history of treating their shareholders as their partners. We also assess qualitative factors, since value without quality is likely to be a losing proposition. For the rest of this letter, we will discuss these core principles in relation to two of the Fund's largest holdings, Snap-on (U.S.) and Neopost (France).

Our domestic director of research recommended Snap-on for the Global Fund in late 2004. Snap-on is best known for its fine line of mechanics tools. Many readers have seen Snap-on trucks servicing gasoline stations, tire stores and car dealers. The company's core business generates free cash flow, which always is a desirable factor, but it was our view that previous management teams had not effectively capitalized on this attribute. Although our research department had long monitored this company, our analysts were dismayed by the management's capital allocation decisions. In 2004, however, Snap-on's Board of Directors installed a new CEO, Jack Michaels, and his prior experience at Hon Industries indicated that positive change was likely. Our checks suggested that the company's brand name and the quality of its products were still unmatched in its field. Our financial analysis determined that the shares appeared to be priced at a great discount to private market value. With Michaels in place we believed that the company's history of sluggish growth in intrinsic value would improve. The stock generated an attractive dividend yield on our original cost, again an outgrowth of the company's strong internal cash flow generation and the share's low price. In the nearly four years since we initiated the Snap-on position, market volatility has afforded us multiple attractive opportunities to build up the holding, and the company's solid earning performance has eventually rewarded the Fund with attractive returns.

Neopost makes franking machines for corporate mailrooms. This is the machine that puts pre-paid stamps on mail. Since a stamp is recognized currency, this is literally a business that prints money. To avoid counterfeiting, governments limit the number of companies that can be involved in this industry. Worldwide, Neopost is the second most successful competitor with 25% of market share, while Pitney Bowes is clearly at the top. Because Neopost earns a fee per stamp and income from the rental of their franking machines, 70% of their sales are recurring. Its concentrated market share and the recurring nature of its business mean that its returns and cash flows are strong and steady. In early 2003, however, the company was incurring losses due to its failing on-line business and its difficulties with integrating Hasler, a weak Swiss franking company that had a large U.S. presence. As with Snap-on, we were able to look beyond these short-term issues and recognized the tremendous profitability of the core business. This enabled us to initiate a position while shares were selling at a significant discount to the company's value. As the on-line business was shut down and Hasler was integrated, profits grew. On top of this, Jean-Paul Villot (then CEO, now Chairman) and Denis Thiery (then CFO, now CEO) did an excellent job allocating capital. The Hasler deal was done at a very attractive multiple, and excess capital was then returned to shareholders. Since 2005, the company has used dividends and buybacks to return to shareholders over $750 million—more than 100% of profits earned over that time and equal to almost 30% of Neopost's current market cap. Since we initiated our position in 2003 until the end of Q3 2008, Neopost was up over 300%. Even with Neopost's strong performance, we still find its shares exceptionally undervalued, and it remains one of our top holdings.

Report from Bill Nygren and David Herro, Portfolio Managers

* Not annualized

Oakmark Global Select Fund finished the quarter ended September 30, 2008 down 4%, which compared favorably to the MSCI World Index which ended down 15%.

Impact Players

The top contributor this quarter was Capital One Financial, a U.S.-based financial institution, which rose 35%. Despite the global financial crisis, Capital One Financial reported solid earnings due to management's ability to keep credit costs under control. We believe Capital One Financial will weather the storm because the company is conservatively managed, maintains strong capital ratios, has limited mortgage exposure, and oversees a strong, stable deposit base.

Another top contributor was The Home Depot, Inc., a U.S.-based home improvement retail chain, which was up 11.2% for the quarter. Home Depot shares recovered from depressed levels at the beginning of the quarter as the company reported better than expected second quarter earnings. Despite a very difficult environment, the company's gross margins improved, and the new CEO's profit improvement initiatives gained traction. The business continues to generate a lot of cash, and management is committed to repurchasing a substantial amount of stock once the markets stabilize.

Rounding out the top three contributors to the Fund was Comcast Corp, a U.S. cable system and programming provider, which returned 5.4%. Comcast's quarterly performance confirmed the generally traditional defensive characteristics of cable companies in times of economic uncertainty. Comcast has increased its phone and high speed data market share and reduced video churn. Its ongoing capital discipline, combined with its strong performance, drove 44% free cash flow growth in the second quarter.

One of the largest detractors to the Fund was U.S.-based Washington Mutual. We sold our position during the quarter once it became apparent that a new regulatory focus would make it extremely difficult for Washington Mutual to recoup its mortgage losses. For a full commentary on Washington Mutual, please refer to Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds Letter.

Daiwa Securities, Japan's second largest broker, was another detractor, falling 23.5% during the quarter. Shares were hurt by numerous factors, including global financial instability, recessionary fears about the Japanese economy, and decreased equity and capital market activity.

Adecco S.A., a leading global temporary employment agency, rounds out the bottom three detractors and declined 13.6% during the quarter. Even though revenue growth is slowing across many of Adecco's markets, the company reported gross

OAKMARK GLOBAL SELECT FUND
30

margins improvement in the first half of 2008. The new U.K. management team's restructuring efforts appear to be generating positive results, including enabling Adecco to exit its lower margin contracts. Adecco is a cyclical business that will be hurt by poor economic conditions in the short-term. However, given management's recent actions to improve the quality of the underlying business, we contend that the company's margins should hold up better during this downturn than in the past. In a more normal economic environment, the company's profitability would likely exceed its historical levels, but current valuations do not reflect this.

Portfolio Composition

Contrary to last quarter, our lack of exposure to energy and materials companies, combined with our stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, contributed to the Fund's relative outperformance.

Our currency hedges performed well during the quarter adding approximately 2.8% to performance. However, due to the strengthening U.S. dollar we decreased the weighting of our Pound Sterling hedges from approximately 55% to 35% and our Euro hedges from approximately 80% to 35%. Our Swiss Franc hedge was maintained at around 75% because the Franc remains expensive versus the U.S. dollar and because of our heavy Swiss exposure.

While uncertain and volatile times can definitely cause a loss of value, such times also present unique opportunities to invest in quality companies trading at significant discounts to fair value. We continue to focus on our long-term valuation approach, and we thank you, our shareholders, for your patience and continued support.

OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL AND
OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUNDS

Fellow Shareholders,

Your International Funds had very strong relative performance for the quarter, though absolute performance was weak.

There was also an extremely high amount of market instability this quarter as concerns about the global financial markets intensified. Despite this volatility and alarmism, we remain confident and focused on our task ahead: to find, value and invest in the best international companies that are available at the lowest prices. In this regard, given our long-term value approach, we are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for all of our International and Global Funds.

Endings...

In the past nearly 23 years of my investment career I have witnessed all kinds of financial market calamity, starting with the stock market crash of 1987, the Japanese financial crisis that started in '90, the demise of the European Monetary System in '92, the collapse of the Nordic Banking system in '92, the Tequila Crisis in '94, the Asian Crisis of '97-'98, and the TMT implosion that began in 2000. And now we experience the granddaddy of them all, the liquidity/credit crunch that began late in the summer of 2007. No one could have guessed that such stalwarts as Bear Stearns, AIG, HBOS, Bradford and Bingley, Northern Rock, and Lehman Bros. would have all disappeared in the space of less than one year. For the most part, however, it is now easy to see why they and many others have departed. Their managements made poor business decisions that were magnified by their use of leverage. The global nature of our financial system and its rapid growth made the underlying financial problems difficult to deal with, especially because the ability to regulate the financial markets did not keep up with the pace with which those markets grew. Hence, greed, speculation, poor policy and stupidity simply out-gunned conservatism and regulation. We see the results in yesterday's and today's headlines.

...And Beginnings

Despite the above, and utterances from the likes of Hugo Chavez, capitalism will survive. It is our view that from this mess will arise a stronger system that, at least for a while, has cleansed itself of the weak and marginal players. As in nature, the weak have perished, and the strong not only have survived but will better their positions. Crisis also brings focus, and with focus, combined with the desire to survive, brings more prudent practice, more careful risk-taking and improved regulation. I do believe that good will ultimately come from this crisis, and our financial system will make the necessary improvements to keep up with growth and globalization.

In the meantime, despite political rhetoric, we believe the global economy is solidly positioned to grow at a stronger pace over the next 20 years than in the past 20. Consider the transformation occurring in the emerging markets where three-fifths of the world's population is slowly moving from a state of poverty to one that is more prosperous. Further, technological advances are enabling massive increases in productivity. In our opinion, these two factors will continue to influence global growth very positively.

We mentioned above that the weak have either disappeared or learned harsh lessons, and the strong have actually improved their positions. We own financial stocks such as Credit Suisse, Julius Baer and Lloyds TSB that have gone from strong franchises to even stronger ones. Others, like UBS and Barclays, seem to have learned and survived. We believe once stability returns, our investments in the financial sector will perform quite well. In other sectors, like media and technology, excessive fear appears to have created exceptional investment opportunity. When looking at prospects, we remain focused on company value as opposed to price movement. And, we seek to exploit volatility because it is our experience that company value is not determined by what happens in the next three to nine months, but is instead determined by what happens over the next three to nine years. Because "the market" is focused on the former, we feel that we are in a position to benefit over the long-term if we stay disciplined.

In closing, we know these times are unique and challenging. And, worse, most of us who are invested in the financial markets have experienced a diminution of value in the past year or so. However, I still strongly believe this is also a period of distinct investment opportunity. By staying disciplined and vigilant, we will continue to work hard to garner these abundant opportunities we believe lie before us. Thanks for your patience and support.

OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL FUND

Report from David G. Herro

THE VALUE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL FUND FROM ITS INCEPTION (9/30/92) TO PRESENT (9/30/08) AS COMPARED TO THE MSCI WORLD EX U.S. INDEX¹² (UNAUDITED)

				Average Annual Total Returns (as of 9/30/08)
(Unaudited)	Total Return Last 3 Months *			1-year			5-year			10-year			Since Inception (9/30/92)
Oakmark International Fund (Class I)		-7.42	%		-28.59	%		8.92	%		11.05	%		10.09	%

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

The expense ratio for Class I shares as of 9/30/08 was 1.10%.

* Not annualized

Oakmark International Fund declined 7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, comparing favorably to the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which lost 21%. Since its inception in September 1992, the Fund is up an average of 10% per year, which compares favorably with the MSCI World ex U.S. Index's return of 7% over the same period.

Impact Players

Signet Jewelers, which operates the Kay Jewelers and Jared's chains in the U.S., was the Fund's top performer during the quarter, returning 18.3%. Despite the poor economic climate affecting the entire jewelry sector, Signet's U.S. business continues to outperform financially, and it is increasing its already strong strategic position. Approximately 10% of its competitors have been forced to close their doors, and most survivors have had to cut back aggressively on marketing and services. Unlike the rest of the industry, Signet is still expanding its retail footprint, as well as its marketing efforts, albeit cautiously. The group is also performing well in the U.K. aided by its long-term refurbishment program. We believe these strengths will help Signet emerge from this downturn in a far superior competitive position than any other jewelry retailer.

Another top contributor to the Fund was BNP Paribas, France's largest bank, which rose 2.4% this past quarter. BNP reported better-than-expected results in its French banking and asset management divisions during the quarter, while its investment bank division appeared to continue to weather the current "credit crisis" much better than its peers. While losses and write-downs remain a top concern in global financial markets, BNP's funding position appears strong relative to its peers, as indicated by the fact that its CDS spreads are the lowest in Europe. The company's liquidity appears sufficient, and the group has successfully raised new capital in the wholesale market year to date.

Rounding out the top three contributors to the Fund is Societe Television Francaise 1 (TF1), France's largest television broadcaster, which returned 4.1%. During the quarter the market reacted positively to evidence that the new management team is quietly following through on expected operational improvements. Concurrently, the French government's reform of media regulations is advancing, which could help boost the business.

As mentioned in the International lead letter, world markets this quarter were extremely volatile due to concerns about global financial instability and the "credit crisis." During this quarter, the market experienced some nasty events, including the failures of Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and AIG; liquidity contraction; and

OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL FUND
36

plummeting consumer confidence. This global weakness hurt the Fund's three largest detractors this quarter—Bank of Ireland, Lloyds TSB Group, and Daiwa Securities.

Bank of Ireland, the largest Irish bank, declined 36.2% this quarter, making it the Fund's largest detractor. Downward revisions in Irish GDP from approximately 1-1.5% real GDP to -1% real GDP, coupled with general Irish market weakness, weakened shares of Bank of Ireland. Management continues to increase non-performing loan provisioning guidance as the credit situation continues to deteriorate in Ireland. Importantly, the bank's liquidity remains stable and is well in excess of Ireland's liquidity requirements. Additionally, the Irish government announced it will guarantee and safeguard all deposits at the nation's six largest financial institutions, including Bank of Ireland. This move is designed to reassure those who conduct business with these institutions, which could bode well for Bank of Ireland.

Global credit and liquidity problems have also hurt Lloyds TSB Group, which declined 32.4% during the quarter. Though Lloyd's shares have performed poorly, the company maintains a strong balance sheet relative to its peers and has increased its market share. Some investors have been worried about the recently announced merger with HBOS, a financial institution that is more reliant on short-term financing and that has an investment portfolio exposed to the troubled Alt-A mortgage sector, which Lloyds has avoided thus far. Even after writing down these investments to much lower levels, the combined entity will be well capitalized with a Tier 1 ratio greater than 8%. However, we believe that Lloyd's purchase of HBOS will create significant value for shareholders because Lloyd's purchased HBOS at a meaningful discount to its book value. The combined entity could benefit from at least £1B in annual cost saving and have 30% of the U.K. deposit base. Finally, Lloyd's management team has allocated capital exceptionally well in the past, and we continue to have faith in their abilities.

Rounding out the bottom of the Fund's detractors, Daiwa Securities, Japan's second largest broker, declined 23.5% during the quarter. Fears that the Japanese economy could be heading for a recession, combined with decreased equity and capital market activity, took their toll on Daiwa's share price.

Portfolio Composition

During the quarter we sold our positions in HSBC Holdings, Philips Electronics, Kookmin Bank and Trinity Mirror plc because they approached fair value or because we identified better investment opportunities at a deeper discount to value. As a result, we added Akzo Nobel, a specialty chemical manufacturer; Assa Abloy, the world's largest manufacturer of locks, security, and access control systems; Kuehne & Nagel, a global freight transporter; and Thomson Reuters, a global electronic information and solutions company.

We held significant positions in the financial and consumer discretionary sectors, which performed poorly during the quarter. Those two sectors detracted approximately 9.5% from the Fund's performance. However, our lack of exposure to energy and our relative underweight in materials boosted our relative performance against the benchmark.

Our currency hedges performed well during the quarter adding approximately 5.6% to performance. However, due to the strengthening U.S. dollar, we decreased the weighting of our hedges from approximately 70% of the Pound Sterling to 40%; 75% of the Euro to 50%; and 75% of the Swiss Franc to 60%.

Despite these difficult times, we believe our valuation process has allowed us to identify high quality names that can weather the storm and provide our shareholders significant return in the long-term. We would like to thank you for your continued support and patience.

OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL
SMALL CAP FUND

Report from David G. Herro and Chad M. Clark, Portfolio Managers

THE VALUE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN OAKMARK INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND FROM ITS INCEPTION (11/1/95) TO PRESENT (9/30/08) AS COMPARED TO THE MSCI WORLD EX U.S. INDEX¹² (UNAUDITED)

				Average Annual Total Returns (as of 9/30/08)
(Unaudited)	Total Return Last 3 Months*			1-year			5-year			10-year			Since Inception (11/1/95)
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund (Class I)		-13.41	%		-32.47	%		11.20	%		15.53	%		10.14	%
MSCI World ex U.S.		-20.68	%		-29.58	%		10.28	%		5.56	%		5.42	%
MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap¹⁵		-24.64	%		-35.34	%		9.25	%		N/A		N/A
Lipper International Small Cap Index¹⁶		-24.40	%		-35.84	%		11.80	%		10.64	%	N/A

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

The expense ratio for Class I shares as of 9/30/08 was 1.41%.

* Not annualized

Oakmark International Small Cap Fund declined 13% for the quarter ended September 30th 2008. While we are not pleased with the decline, the Fund's returns compare favorably to the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which fell 21%, and the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index, which declined 25%. Since inception, your Fund has returned 10% annualized, compared to the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which returned 5% for the same period.

The quarter was extremely volatile with the Fund's out-performance generally arising from strong stock selection in a number of markets.

Contributors

Pasona, a Japanese placement and staffing company, was the Fund's top contributor this quarter. The company announced it will spend JPY 3.5 billion to repurchase 12% of its outstanding equity over the next quarter and will also retire 4% of the shares currently held in its treasury. Because the share price has been relatively weak throughout the year and the valuation has become extremely attractive, we commend management's commitment to good capital allocation. Although we believe profits will decline next year due to increased health insurance expenses, a tight job recruitment market, and a slowing domestic economy, we continue to like the secular trends for temporary employment in Japan.

Shares of U.K. reinsurance broker Benfield surged after Chicago-based insurance company Aon Corp. agreed to buy Benfield for almost $1.6 billion in cash. Aon believes that Benfield will strengthen its existing reinsurance operations, creating a diverse global franchise that would enhance Aon's capabilities in the southern U.S. as well as in the growing Asian and Latin American markets. Because the shares reached its target price, we sold our position in Benfield.

Despite tough market conditions, Japanese brokerage firm Ichiyoshi Securities continues to gain net new accounts and net new money. In the past, we've written about the difficulty of finding investments in Japan that meet both of our criteria: low share price and high quality. Ichiyoshi is an example of a Japanese company that has a management team focused on building value per share by increasing returns and by allocating capital intelligently. In fact, Ichiyoshi is one of only 53 TOPIX-listed companies to have independent committees (nominating, remuneration and audit) to monitor the board of directors and officers of the company. They are also one of the few Japanese companies with a 50/50 split between internal and external directors. Over the years management has repurchased over 20% of shares outstanding. These are all examples of why we believe the firm has an exceptional culture.

Detractors

JJB Sports, a U.K. sporting good retailer, continues to suffer as British consumers rein in their spending. Sales were also hurt by the English soccer team's failure to reach the finals in this summer's European championships, and JJB incurred an operating loss at the Original Shoe Company, which it acquired earlier this year. To overcome this slowdown, JJB is working to bring back customers by adding its own branded goods, by expanding its highly profitable fitness club format and by refurbishing its stores' appearance.

Ementor, a large supplier of IT infrastructure products and services in the Nordic and Baltic regions, was down this quarter, even though new services and hardware sales continue to grow at a steady rate. During the quarter, one of Ementor's subsidiaries agreed to acquire all shares of another IT company, Kongsberg Systec. This acquisition will boost Ementor's position as the leading IT infrastructure supplier in Norway's Buskerud region. Although Ementor's stock declined this quarter, we believe that the company is poised for continued growth and value creation.

Despite sluggish automobile sales, profits and sales at Duerr, a German supplier of plant and equipment for the automotive industry, have grown over the past quarter. Surprisingly, investment in paint shops is not always correlated to automobile production as existing capacity is outdated and in need of modernization. Incoming paint orders continue to increase due to the estimated EUR 2.5 billion worth of new paint shops, and Duerr could secure about 40% of that new business. Duerr is an industry leader, selling for under 3x EBIT, which gives it a very compelling risk-return profile.

Portfolio Composition

It was an another active quarter of trading with the Fund exiting five positions, including Aegis Group, Anadolu Efes, Benfield Group, Square Enix and Trigano. As always, we will sell a position if the shares reach fair value, we over-estimate the company's business value, or we identify more attractive investment opportunities. We added three new holdings to the Fund, including U.K.'s ICAP plc, the largest broker of transactions between banks in the world; Kaba Holdings, a large Swiss maker of security systems; and Panalpina Welttransport, a Swiss freight forwarding company.

Geographically, our portfolio weightings have shifted slightly this quarter. Europe and the U.K. decreased to approximately 75% of investments, and the Pacific Rim increased slightly to approximately 21% of the total portfolio. The balance of the portfolio, excluding cash, was invested in the Middle East, North America and Latin America.

We continue to hedge the Fund defensively and our hedges performed well during the quarter, adding approximately 4.7% to performance. However, due to weakening foreign currencies, we decreased the weightings of the hedges from approximately 60% of the Pound Sterling to 40%; 65% of the Swiss Franc to 45%; and 65% of the Euro to 45%.

During these turbulent times we continue to thank you for your patience and support. We will remain steadfast in our pursuit of finding attractive, undervalued foreign companies with management teams dedicated to building shareholder value to add to the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These 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 an administrator for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Class I Shares do not have an associated service fee.

Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.

Redemption fees—

Each Fund (except Equity and Income) imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by short-term trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is 2% of the redemption value and is deducted from the redemption proceeds. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method is used to determine the holding period.

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 are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges outside the United States shall be 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 shall be based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Debt obligations and money market instruments maturing in more than 60 days from the date of purchase are valued at the latest bid quotation. Debt obligations and money market instruments maturing in less than 61 days from the date of purchase are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates 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 values, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee established 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 third party to value foreign securities to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. At September 30, 2008, no Fund, except Equity and Income, held securities for which market quotations were not readily available. At September 30, 2008, Equity and Income held a security for which market quotations were not readily available and was valued at a fair value determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. At September 30, 2008, Oakmark, Global, Global Select, International and Int'l Small Cap held securities that were valued at a fair value using a systematic fair valuation model due to the performance of the U.S. markets since the close of the foreign markets.

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

THE OAKMARK FUNDS

THE OAKMARK FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements (cont.)

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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates.

The Funds do not isolate the changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from securities.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid, and the realized gains or losses resulting from portfolio and transaction hedges. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at year-end resulting from changes in exchange rates.

At September 30, 2008, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - other included the following components:

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest, dividends and tax reclaims receivable	$	(16,500	)	$	(95,729	)	$	(110,280	)	$	(29,669	)	$	(639,874	)	$	58,492
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open securities purchases and sales		0			0			(1,748,621	)		(86,956	)		(226,326	)		(139,740	)

Forward foreign currency contracts—

The Funds' currency transactions are limited to transaction hedging 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. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. At September 30, 2008, Global, Global Select, International, and Int'l Small Cap held forward foreign currency contracts as follows:

expected life of each applicable security using the effective yield method. Withholding taxes 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 "short" a security in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. When the 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. At September 30, 2008, none of the Funds had short sales.

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 market 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. 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 market 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 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 the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.

At September 30, 2008, the Funds had no outstanding options.

Committed line of credit—

The Trust has an unsecured committed line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in the amount of $500 million. Borrowings under that arrangement bear interest at 0.45% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the credit agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the arrangement at September 30, 2008.

Expense offset arrangement—

State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2008, Equity and Income received an expense offset credit of $669.

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 Fund, through State Street, 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.

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 or cash equivalents 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 would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned, and would also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund would have the right to call the loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time, and the counterparty is required to return the securities within five business days or less. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. In addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period.

At September 30, 2008, International had securities on loan with a value of $19,083,338, and held as collateral for the loan U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $20,100,171. On October 1, 2008, the loan was terminated and the shares were returned.

Restricted securities—

The following investments, the sales of which are restricted to qualified institutional buyers, have been valued according to the securities valuation procedures for debt obligations and money market instruments (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates. These securities are priced using market quotations and there are no unrestricted securities with the same maturity dates and yields for the issuer.

At September 30, 2008, Equity and Income held the following restricted securities:

Quantity		Security Name	Acquisition Date	Carrying Value		Cost		Value		Percentage of Net Assets
$	3,000,000	Sealed Air Corporation, 144A, 5.625% due 7/15/2013	6/27/2003		98.2065		100.68		2,946,198		0.02	%

Federal income taxes—

It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Funds implemented the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncement—

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("FAS 157") "Fair Value Measurements." FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

Notes to Financial Statements (cont.)

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 ("FAS 159") "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 ("FAS 161") "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("FAS 133")," which expands the disclosure requirements in FAS 133 about an entity's derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of these accounting pronouncements will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

Notes to Financial Statements (cont.)

The Adviser and the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an agreement with the Adviser, which 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 non-interested 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. The accrued obligations of the Funds under the plan are reflected as deferred trustee compensation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The interested trustees are not compensated by the Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Harris
Associates Investment Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Harris Associates Investment Trust comprising Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund, Oakmark International Fund, and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund (collectively the "Funds"), as of September 30, 2008, the related statements of operations for the period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the Funds' custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2008, the results of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For a prospectus and more information about The Oakmark Funds, including management fees and expenses and the special risks of investing, please visit oakmark.com or call 1-800-OAKMARK (1-800-625-6275). Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. An investor should consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. This and other information about The Oakmark Funds are contained in the Funds' prospectus.

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 letter, and are subject to change without notice.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. The performance information for the Funds does not reflect the imposition of a 2% redemption fee on shares of all Funds, other than Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, redeemed within 90 days, in order to deter market timers. If reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Average annual total return measures annualized change, while total return measures aggregate change. To obtain current month end performance data, visit oakmark.com.

Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

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 Equity and Income Fund closed to certain new investors as of 5/7/04 and reopened as of 11/3/08.

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

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, which may result in greater share price volatility. An economic downturn could severely disrupt the market in medium or lower grade debt securities and adversely affect the value of outstanding bonds and the ability of the issuers to repay principal and interest.

Investing in foreign securities represents risks which in some way may be greater than in 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 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.

Oakmark Glossary

Book value – A company's common stock equity as it appears on a balance sheet, equal to total assets minus liabilities, preferred stock, and intangible assets such as goodwill. A company's book value often differs substantially from economic value, especially in industries such as media.

Business value/Intrinsic value – The perceived or estimated actual value of a security, as opposed to its current market price or book value. Business value can be evaluated based on what a knowledgeable buyer would pay for a business if the company were sold in its entirety.

Growth investing – Investors who look for companies based on whether the stock of a company is growing earnings and/or revenue faster than the industry as a whole or the overall market. Growth investors generally expect high rates of growth to persist, and the stock, in turn, to deliver returns exceeding the market's. A growth mutual fund is generally one that emphasizes stocks believed to offer above-average growth prospects, with little to no emphasis on the stock's current price.

M & A (Mergers & Acquisitions) – Merger: the combining of two or more entities into one, through a purchase acquisition or a pooling of interests. Acquisition: can also be called a takeover, and is defined as acquiring control of a corporation, called a target, by stock purchase or exchange, either hostile or friendly.

Market capitalization (market cap or cap) – The market price of an entire company on any given day, calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share.

Momentum investing – Approach to investing based on the belief that stock price trends are likely to continue. Momentum investors tend to buy stocks that have been outperforming the market and to sell those stocks when their relative performance deteriorates. Momentum investors do not consider a company's underlying value or fundamentals in their investment decisions.

Multiple – A ratio used to measure a stock's valuation, usually greater than 1. Sometimes used to mean price/earnings ratio.

P/B or Price-to-Book Ratio – A stock's capitalization divided by its book value. The value is the same whether the calculation is done for the whole company or on a per-share basis.

P/E or Price-to-Earnings Ratio – The most common measure of a stock's valuation. It is equal to a stock's capitalization divided by its after-tax earnings over a 12-month period. The value is the same whether the calculation is done for the whole company or on a per-share basis. Equivalently, the cost an investor in a given stock must pay per dollar of current annual earnings. Also called earnings multiple.

Share repurchase – Program through which a corporation buys back its own shares in the open market, typically an indication that the corporation's management believes the stock price is undervalued.

Value investing – Investors who utilize valuation measures such as business value (including growth rate), price/earnings ratio, price/book ratio, and yield to gauge the attractiveness of a company. Managers who employ a value investment style believe that the true, underlying value of a company is not reflected in its current share price, and, over time, the price has potential to increase as the market recognizes the overall value of the business. Value stocks sell at relatively low prices in relation to their underlying business value, earnings, or book value.

Stocks become undervalued for a variety of reasons, including an overall market decline, or when a specific industry falls into disfavor and investors view all companies in that industry in the same light. Consequently, an individual company's stock price may fall, even though it may be only temporarily affected by the industry's problems and its underlying value has remained unchanged.

"x times earnings" ("12 times earnings") – Another way to express a stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. A stock with a P/E ratio of 12 sells at 12 times earnings.

If reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Average annual total return measures annualized change, while total return measures aggregate change.

FUND EXPENSES

Actual Expenses

The following table provides information about actual account values and actual fund expenses for Class II of each Fund. The table shows the expenses a Class II shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from April 1, 2008, to September 30, 2008, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. Class II shareholders can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing their account value at September 30, 2008, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period row as shown below.

Shares of all Funds, other than Oakmark Equity & Income Fund, invested for 90 days or less may be charged a 2% redemption fee. Please consult the Funds' prospectus at oakmark.com for more information.

	Oakmark Fund			Oakmark Select Fund			Oakmark Equity and Income Fund			Oakmark Global Fund			Oakmark International Fund			Oakmark International Small Cap Fund
Beginning Account Value	$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value	$	943.00		$	864.40		$	940.70		$	878.40		$	840.90		$	812.20
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	6.56		$	4.66		$	5.58		$	7.04		$	6.44		$	5.80
Annualized Expense Ratio		1.35	%		1.00	%		1.15	%		1.50	%		1.40	%		1.28	%

* Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio for Class II, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by 366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for Class II 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 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.

	Oakmark Fund			Oakmark Select Fund			Oakmark Equity and Income Fund			Oakmark Global Fund			Oakmark International Fund			Oakmark International Small Cap Fund
Beginning Account Value	$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00		$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value	$	1,018.25		$	1,020.00		$	1,019.25		$	1,017.50		$	1,018.00		$	1,018.60
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	6.81		$	5.05		$	5.81		$	7.57		$	7.06		$	6.46
Annualized Expense Ratio		1.35	%		1.00	%		1.15	%		1.50	%		1.40	%		1.28	%

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

(a) Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that applies to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.

(b) No disclosures are required by this Item 2(b).

(d) During the period covered by the report, Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from the provisions of the Code.

(e) Not applicable.

(f) A copy of the Code is filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Form N-CSR. Copies of the Code will also be made available free of charge upon request, by writing or calling The Oakmark Funds, P.O. Box 8510, Boston, MA 02266-8510, 1-800-OAKMARK, (1-800-625-6275).

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

Registrant’s board of trustees has determined that each of the following five members of the Registrant’s audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Instruction 2(b) to Item 3 of Form N-CSR: Michael J. Friduss, Christine M. Maki, Allan J. Reich, Stephen S. Rogers and Gary N. Wilner, M.D. Each of those members of Registrant’s audit committee is “independent” as such term is defined in paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of trustees in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of trustees.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Aggregate fees billed to the Registrant for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2008		Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
Audit Fees(1)	$	218,800	$	214,900
Audit-Related Fees(2)	$	67,000	$	62,000
Tax Fees(3)	$	31,550	$	27,600
All Other Fees(4)	$	0	$	0

During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the Registrant’s audit committee will pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by the principal accountants of the Registrant. The audit committee has authorized its chairman to exercise that authority in the intervals between meetings; and the chairman presents any such pre-approvals to the audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, pre-approval of non-audit services may be waived provided that: 1) the aggregate amount for all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Registrant to its principal accountant during the fiscal year in which such services are provided; 2) such services were not recognized by management at the time of engagement as non-audit services; and 3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Registrant’s audit committee by management and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the audit committee or by one or more members of the audit committee who are members of the board of trustees to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the audit committee.

No audit-related, tax or non-audit services were approved by waiver pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(1)		“Audit Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(2)		“Audit-Related Fees” include amounts for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements, specifically the semi-annual reviews of the Funds in fiscal years 2007 and 2008.

(3)		“Tax Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, specifically distribution consultation.

(4)		“All Other Fees” include amounts for products and services provided by the principal accountant. No such products and services were provided.

Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 by the Registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, its investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant were $2,500 and $0, respectively.

The audit committee of Registrant’s board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by Registrant’s principal accountant to Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments.

(a) The Schedule of Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers as of the close of the reporting period is included as part of the annual report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

(b) No disclosures are required by this Item 6(b).

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

During the period covered by this report, no material changes were made to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees that were adopted in fiscal year 2004.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Based on an evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the “Disclosure Controls”), the Disclosure Controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this report is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the time period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Exhibits.

(a)(1)		Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers (as referenced in Item 2 above), attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1).

(2)		Certifications of John R. Raitt, Principal Executive Officer, and Kristi L. Rowsell, Principal Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 30a-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-2), attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii).
