2012 Annual Report
Introducing Our New Annual Report Format
The report has been redesigned to present Fund information in a more efficient manner. By streamlining the layout, we have significantly reduced the number of pages and cost of printing and mailing the report—a win for both the environment and our shareholders.
We would like to highlight a couple of the report's enhancements. For each Fund's Schedule of Investments, we have changed the format and groupings of the holdings to present this important material in a more clear and concise fashion. We have also added a summary page for each Fund to provide a snapshot of key metrics.
While this report contains a wealth of information, we encourage you to visit Oakmark.com for additional commentary and insight from our portfolio managers. We hope you find these changes useful, and as always, we welcome your thoughts and feedback.

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
September 30, 2012
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The Oakmark Funds closed their fiscal year on September 30 with strong investment returns, both in the U.S. and overseas. The path has not been smooth, but the results should gratify investors who were able to stay the course over the year.
As we near the end of long election campaigns in the U.S., I can't help but remark about my desires for the upcoming political season and the coming year. Tension about the upcoming fiscal cliff is so intense that it can dominate most financial decisions in households and businesses alike. So much work has been done on a bipartisan basis to try to forge a solution that so far has been elusive. Outside of Washington, most citizens understand that change will be difficult and costly, but they also understand that the country is running out of time to adjust course. My petition to politicians from all philosophical corners is to trust that your constituents will be mature enough to appreciate real problem-solving, focus on the similarities of the proposed plans and formulate a path to long-term fiscal stability. The economy should start to recover when business managements feel confident that the landscape for taxation and monetary policy will stabilize. To allow market participants to suffer another political impasse, like the debt ceiling standoff in 2011, is simply dereliction of duty.
Trading as Long-Term Investors
Congress, regulators at home and abroad, and members of the financial industry are speaking a lot these days about high-frequency trading (HFT) and its impact on financial markets. We believe these inquiries are productive. Events such as the "flash crash" in May 2010, the Knight Capital trading debacle and the technology snafus seen during the Facebook IPO reveal that program-driven trading can go seriously awry, and errant algorithms can greatly drive up volatility in the financial markets. Some say HFT provides
valuable liquidity, serving to narrow the bid-ask spread or provide support in the event of some displacement. As long-term investors, we are less concerned with daily volatility or the efficacy of technology-driven trading platforms than how matters affect the future for individual investors. Investor confidence is already eroding, and a growing belief that unrestrained HFT further stacks the deck against small investors could exacerbate the risk aversion that keeps individuals from allocating more of their portfolios to equities.
We are long-term investors, and as a result, our portfolios consistently exhibit low turnover. When we buy a stock, we are seeking to own a slice of a business that is trading at a substantial discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. We think that Oakmark shareholders should not fear short-term price swings or temporary trading trends because these do not affect the underlying fundamentals of these businesses. Our lower trading volume should benefit our shareholders in the form of lower portfolio transaction costs which, in contrast, usually erode returns for mutual funds that trade frequently.
Nonetheless, Harris traders see themselves as an extension of our long-term intentions. Our traders are willing to aggressively assess all sources of liquidity when establishing portfolio positions at prices attractive to us, and they have found that algorithmic venues can often fill their orders for low commissions at compelling prices. They steadily refine their approach to keep up with changes in trading trends and technology, both to defend against unfavorable pricing and to safeguard sensitive information. Their dedication behind the scenes provides important protections for Oakmark shareholders.

President's Letter (continued)
September 30, 2012
S&P 5001 was around 400, and gold sold for less than $350 an ounce. The dollar was still quoted against marks and French francs, Japan was entering its "Lost Decade," Eastern Europe was trading central planning for market capitalism, and China's economy was years away from becoming a daily headline. Today, markets are much more integrated, and because information moves instantly, the globe feels much smaller.
Oakmark International extended our quest for value outside the U.S. and offered our shareholders a global investment opportunity. Amid two decades of vast global change, the Fund has stayed the same in its investment approach: Using rigorous bottom-up research and analysis, the Fund seeks out undervalued companies with a clear, long-term growth path and management teams that think and act like owners.
This consistency has paid off for the Fund and its shareholders—$10,000 invested in Oakmark International on its opening day would have grown over 20 years to more than $60,000, roughly double the gains of the Fund's benchmark. The Fund's performance ranks it in the top 10% of its category over the 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-year periods, as measured by the Morningstar U.S. OE Foreign Large Blend Category.2
Congratulations to David Herro, Rob Taylor and our entire International team for this remarkable achievement. We are confident that, in the decades ahead, the time-tested process in place at Oakmark International and all The Oakmark Funds will continue to generate success for the Funds and our fellow shareholders.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The following table provides information about actual account values and actual fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at September 30, 2012, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the Actual Expenses Paid During Period column shown below.
Shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, invested for 90 days or less, may be charged a 2% redemption fee upon redemption. Please consult the Funds' prospectus at oakmark.com for more information.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for shares of each Fund based on actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or actual expenses shareholders paid for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period column of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

Oakmark Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary
William C. Nygren, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakmx@oakmark.com
Kevin Grant, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakmx@oakmark.com
For the quarter, Oakmark Fund gained 6%, equal to the 6% gain in the S&P 500.1 Strong gains by our most important contributors—Google, Time Warner, and JP Morgan—more than offset the declines in our worst performers—Dell, Intel and FedEx. We continue to hold each of these extreme performers because we believe that the best performers are not yet fully valued and that the worst performers are still achieving the fundamental results we expect.
For the fiscal year, Oakmark Fund achieved a very high absolute return of 30%. Because we focus on value, we rarely outperform during strong markets. Most of our relative gains have historically come from losing less when the market is down. In the preceding commentary in this report, we discuss why this has been an unusual year for risk and volatility and why we believe it is creating opportunities for us to perform very well when the market is rising.
The biggest reason we performed well last year was good stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financial services sectors. Many of our cable companies returned more than 50%—Comcast, Time Warner, Disney and Discovery. They were joined in above-average performance by financial holdings, including Capital One, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Allstate and Aflac. Partially offsetting those good results, poor stock selection in technology hurt us. One of our best performing stocks was Apple (up 76%), a stock that few value funds hold. But because it comprised a smaller part of Oakmark (2%) than it did the S&P 500 (5%), it was a drag on our relative results. We want to reiterate that we don't think about portfolio construction that way. We size our positions based on our assessment of risk and return rather than basing that decision on market capitalization. It can create odd outcomes like Apple "hurting" relative performance last year, but we believe our approach leads to better long-term results.
We began the fiscal year with 56 holdings. We eliminated 12 of those positions during the year. Coincidentally, that equates to roughly a 20% turnover of names, which is consistent with the five-year time frame we use. (Note that our turnover ratio most years has exceeded 20% largely due to aggressive tax trading.) We don't manage the Fund with an eye on turnover, but we sell stocks either when we believe they have become fairly priced or when the businesses don't perform the way we expect. On average, that just works out to a five-year holding period. Last year most of our "fair value" sales were stable businesses—like Bristol Myers and Diageo—that benefited from investors paying up for safety. Our purchases, on the other hand, were mostly financials and industrials, which investors had been shunning.
During the quarter, we eliminated our holdings in Best Buy and Diageo. Diageo was sold because the stock performed well; Best Buy was sold because we were disappointed in both its business performance and how the proposed buyout by the founder was handled. The Best Buy board was not as receptive as we had
expected it to be when its founder expressed an interest in purchasing the entire company. Either the board wasn't acting in what we believed was the shareholders' best interest, or the buyout offer wasn't as real as the founder was claiming. Neither would be a good outcome for us, so we sold the stock. We initiated three new holdings which are described below.
Cummins Inc. (CMI-$92)
Cummins is the world's second-largest manufacturer of engines and the largest maker of truck engines. While North America is still its largest market, Cummins has been very successful in building sales and market share in faster-growth emerging markets, which now account for about a quarter of companywide sales. Further, we believe that its undisputed position as the industry leader in emissions controls technology should provide a long-lasting tailwind as countries mandate progressively tighter emissions standards in upcoming years. Cummins earned just over $9 per share last year, so it wasn't surprising to see the stock reach a price of $130 in March. By July, however, as investors became increasingly concerned about the possibility of decreasing global growth, the stock hit a low of $82. We believe the decline was an overreaction. Cummins now sells at about 9x expected current-year earnings. Like many of our holdings, we expect Cummins to achieve mid-single-digit revenue growth over the economic cycle, and expect per-share growth to be higher as excess cash flow is devoted to share repurchase. Our expectation for above-average EPS7 growth, a moderate but growing dividend and a higher P/E8 multiple results in us believing Cummins is likely to produce above-average returns.
Principal Financial Group (PFG-$27)
Principal Financial is a leader in providing administration services and asset management for small to mid-sized corporate retirement plans. Additionally, just over a third of its income comes from various life, annuity and dental insurance operations. Despite the overwhelming majority of income coming from the asset management business, the stock is priced like a less attractive insurer. In 2007, before the financial collapse, Principal stock surpassed $70 when operating earnings were $3.93 and book value was $26.55. So, the P/E ratio was 18x, and the stock sold for about 265% of its book value. Today, the stock sells at about 85% of expected year-end book value and at less than 9x expected 2013 earnings. Assets under management have been growing nicely; inflows alone account for a mid-single-digit growth rate. Because of Principal's strength in asset accumulation in emerging markets, we believe that growth rate is sustainable. Further, the company is repurchasing about 3% of its shares each year, and it recently raised its dividend to a current yield of more than 3%. We believe that investors' distaste for owning financial services stocks has given us a very attractive entry price for this investment.

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
UnitedHealth Group (UNH-$55)
UnitedHealth is the nation's largest provider of managed-care services. The managed-care business has strong economies of scale, so UNH is also arguably the most efficient provider. In 2005, when UNH earned $2.48 per share, its stock reached a high of $65, for a P/E ratio of 26x. UNH is expected to earn just over $5 per share this year, more than double its earnings from seven years ago, yet the stock price is now lower. The result is that UNH sells at only 10x expected 2013 earnings. Managed-care companies have fallen to below-average multiples because investors fear that health care reform will hurt these businesses significantly. We believe that fear is misplaced. We think the government needs companies like UNH because using the existing managed-care networks is far less expensive than building a new one, and UNH's breadth should allow it to thrive in most scenarios. UNH revenues grow with medical costs, supplemented by market share gains and an aging population that requires more spending on health care. Further, the share base has fallen every year since 2005 as a result of management using excess cash generation for repurchases. Shares outstanding have been reduced by about 4% per year, a trend we expect will continue. We believe that purchasing UNH at a below-average P/E ratio, combined with its moderate revenue growth, its shrinking share base and its moderate dividend, is likely to produce an above-average rate of return.

10 THE OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Select Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary
William C. Nygren, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oaklx@oakmark.com
For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund gained 6%, consistent with the 6% gain in the S&P 500.1 Good gains in our media and financial stocks—Liberty Interactive, Discovery, Time Warner, Comcast, JP Morgan and Bank of America, all up more than 10%—helped produce our good return. Two losers—Intel and Dell, off 14% and 21%, respectively—offset some of that gain. Because both businesses are performing close to our expectations, we continue to hold both stocks.
Looking at the fiscal-year results, Oakmark Select achieved a very good absolute return of 27%, just short of the S&P 500's 30% gain. Good stock selection and a heavy weighting in consumer discretionary—primarily media companies—helped our performance. Our top contributors were Discovery (up 59%), Comcast (72%), eBay (63%) Liberty Interactive (40%) and Time Warner (48%). We have trimmed the Discovery and Comcast holdings and, as discussed below, sold eBay and Time Warner.
On the negative side, two stocks suffered meaningful losses: Dell and Newfield Exploration. We've written about their issues before, but in short, Dell is really two businesses—a declining PC business and growing non-PC businesses. We believe the non-PC businesses, which now account for most of Dell's income, should be getting more investor attention. Newfield is an energy company whose main revenue stream is transitioning from natural gas to oil. Investors, however, seem to be more focused on the declining gas production than on the growing oil revenues. When a company has one growing business and one shrinking business, we find investors often behave like the Winnie the Pooh character Eeyore in always seeing the glass as half-empty.
During the fiscal year, we eliminated four positions from the Fund. That should be considered a typical number, given that the Fund holds about 20 stocks and averages about a five-year holding period. The stocks we sold were Bristol Myers, eBay, H&R Block and Time Warner. With the exception of Block, the sales were the result of stocks having performed so well that new opportunities forced them out of the portfolio. As stated in the quarterly report when we sold Block, despite having made money on it, business fundamentals were not unfolding as we had anticipated, and we lost confidence in management's ability to remedy things.
Replacing those positions, we added AIG Corp, Bank of America, BMC Software and TRW. It should come as no surprise that, as investors were paying a larger premium for safety, our purchases were generally riskier businesses than our sales. AIG and Bank of America were both new in the past quarter. Their stories are quite similar: Financial businesses at the eye of the storm in 2008, now selling for less than half of book value, with management targeting a double-digit return on equity within three years and with a commitment to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Some of the bears on these stocks are concerned that top-line growth might be very difficult to come by. Let's assume they are right and that AIG earns 7% on its equity in 2014 (EPS7 of about $5.25 per share). Further, let's assume that, by the end of next year, AIG is deemed to have sufficient capital such that future earnings are entirely excess capital. That would mean that AIG, selling at half of book value, would generate enough cash to repurchase 14% of its shares annually. If it had flat net income, it would produce a 16% annual growth rate in EPS.
Bank of America has a similar story, except that its dividends are expected to be an important part of its return. Again assuming a 7% ROE in 2014 (EPS of about $1.50 per share) but with a 30% payout ratio, Bank of America would be paying a dividend of 5% on the current stock price and repurchasing about 10% of its shares annually. As with our other financials, we aren't arguing that AIG and Bank of America are the world's greatest businesses, but rather that a price of only 50% of book value is a bargain purchase price.
As we begin our new fiscal year, we continue to believe equities are the most attractively priced asset class and that, within equities, the stocks investors mistakenly view as safe are generally the least attractive. Usually stocks get more popular after they go up and vice-versa. Despite the S&P returning 30% in the past year, we see no signs of investors being more positive on equities or more willing to take on risk. Mutual fund flows continue to strongly favor fixed income, an asset class we believe is overvalued and, at these price levels, mistakenly viewed as safe. In fact, CNBC reported last month that at fund industry giant Fidelity, long known for its equity funds, assets invested in its bond funds now exceed assets in its equity funds. We view investors' lack of interest in equities as another positive.
Thank you for your support.

14 THE OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary
Clyde S. McGregor, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakbx@oakmark.com
Quarter Review
Despite the pervasive tendency for investors to reduce equity exposure while increasing their fixed-income commitments, equity markets rebounded in the September quarter, and fixed-income markets were directionless. For the three months, the Equity and Income Fund earned 3%, which contrasts to a 5% gain for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index,10 the Fund's performance benchmark. For the calendar nine months, the returns are 8% for the Fund and 11% for the Lipper Index. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year ending September 30, the return to the Fund was 17%, while the Lipper Index returned 18%. The annualized compound rate of return since the Fund's inception in 1995 is 11%, while the corresponding return to the Lipper Index is 7%.
Diageo, Cenovus Energy, Flowserve, Dover and Nestle contributed the most to return in the quarter. The largest detractors were Walter Energy, United Health Group, Staples, FedEx, and CR Bard. During this calendar year, the most significant detractors have been Walter Energy, Staples, Varian Medical Systems, Patterson-UTI Energy and Lear. The largest contributors to portfolio return during the past nine months were Diageo, Scripps Networks Interactive, TJX, Flowserve and Philip Morris International. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year, the largest contributors were Diageo, Flowserve, Philip Morris International, TJX and Scripps Networks Interactive. The largest 12-month detractors were Walter Energy, Staples, Hospira, Lear and Republic Services (sold).
Transaction Activity
The quarter's trading activity in the Fund was modest, at least in terms of new purchases or eliminations. The two eliminations were Steris and Republic Services. Steris was a successful smaller holding, and I sold it both for valuation reasons and because of the company's exposure to the hospital capital equipment market in a period of rapid change in the health care sector. We believed that the improvement in the U.S. industrial economy would support Republic Services' earnings, but recent trends do not justify that thesis, which dictated the sale of the holding.
The Fund's only new purchase was Bruker, a diversified scientific instrument manufacturer with a strong reputation for innovation and product quality. The company's management team holds large ownership stakes and focuses on growth in intrinsic value per share over the long term. To that end, we think management is willing to make sensible elective investments in the business that promise returns only well into the future, and this factor often discourages investor interest. Earlier this year, the company hired a new chief financial officer who appears to have the necessary skills and experience required to transform the company from one known primarily for its technical excellence to one also known for its financial attributes.
Cape of Good Hope?
In the September 17 edition of the Financial Times, columnist John Authers discussed the evolution of Yale Professor Robert Shiller's "Cape" indicator. "Cape" is an acronym for "cyclically adjusted price earnings" ratio. This indicator compares the price of a stock to its average earnings over the preceding decade. When valuing stocks, most investors use forward-looking price-to-earnings ratios that depend on the ability to make reasonable forecasts of future earnings. Obviously, forecasting errors are frequent, but never more so than when the economy is approaching recession. By using a backward-looking model that covers a long time period, Shiller avoids forecasting error while capturing data that describe a company's performance through a variety of economic environments.
Although Shiller's model has proven to be helpful in identifying market extremes, it has been less valuable in more normal times. Accordingly, he has refined his concept to provide more market-timing guidance as well as industry-relative rankings. For the Equity and Income Fund, it is the industry analysis that is most revealing. Shiller's work looks at the history of the 10 main market sectors of the S&P 500 Index.1 As one would expect, different sectors have different Capes. Shiller's concept is to look at each sector relative to its own history and determine which are trading dear to that history and which are cheap. According to Authers, current industry Capes suggest that industrial, energy and health care stocks offer good value, while industries typically seen as defensive (e.g., consumer staples) are expensive. The three sectors that are most overweight in the Fund versus the S&P 500 are industrials, energy and health care. At Harris Associates, we pay little attention to the industry weights in the S&P 500, and I did not construct the Fund portfolio with the Shiller Cape in mind. Nevertheless, it should not be surprising that our value philosophy would cause the portfolio to end up in the Cape's cheapest neighborhoods.
Why own TIPS today?
For the majority of its existence, the Equity and Income Fund has had an invested position in U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, often referred to by their acronym TIPS. In general, this asset type has been good to the Fund, but at today's price levels, investors are beginning to ask why we continue to own any. Before arriving at the answer, we should first review the exact nature of this security.
TIPS represent a loan to the U.S. government at a specified interest rate (the bond's coupon) and a multiplier that amplifies (or diminishes in the event of deflation) the face value of the bond based on a formula containing "chained CPI" (a variant of the Consumer Price Index). Every month, the government provides an index value of a basket of items, which is then used to calculate the "Index Ratio." This ratio incorporates a Reference CPI statistic and an inflation assumption. For example, were you to purchase a TIPS bond for $100 and the Index Ratio

is 1.1, your cost for the bond would be $110 (ignoring any accrued interest). This value, inclusive of the Index Ratio multiplier, is realized at maturity or at time of sale.
Currently, the Equity and Income Fund has approximately $1.5 billion invested in TIPS, plus a small holding of Canadian inflation-indexed securities. This allocation accounts for more than 35% of the Fund's fixed-income assets (ignoring short-term investments). More importantly, the TIPS position comprises the bulk of the portfolio's longer duration assets. Looking at the portfolio today, one sees that the TIPS all show "negative yields," which naturally concerns Fund investors. This yield is somewhat misleading; however, as it is calculated using the current trading price for the bonds and their stated coupons without incorporating the value added by the Index Ratio multiplier. Taking the Index Ratio into account, we calculate TIPS to be yielding roughly the same as their conventional Treasury bond counterparts. It is this added feature, which protects and compensates the investor for inflation that compels us to own these bonds. In our opinion, forecasting future interest rates, especially for more distant maturities, is very difficult. What we do know is that the Federal Reserve is currently employing policies that historically have generated inflationary outcomes. Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke has stated that he will stave off deflation with massive liquidity injections into the fixed-income markets. The latest such effort was announced on September 13. Since we see future inflation to be the great risk facing the fixed-income investor, we own TIPS to reduce our exposure to that risk. In closing, I wish to thank John Tansey of our firm's fixed-income department for his assistance in writing this section.
Once again, I thank my fellow shareholders for investing in the Equity and Income Fund. I welcome your comments and questions.

20 THE OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Global Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary

Quarter Review
The September quarter witnessed a strong rebound in European equity markets while Japan and the U.S. lagged. It remains to be seen whether this rebound is well-founded, as European economic and political circumstances remain challenging. The Oakmark Global Fund gained 2% in the quarter, while the MSCI World Index12 returned 7%, and the Lipper Global Fund Index13 returned 6%. The Fund's return for the calendar nine months is 9%, which contrasts to the 13% return for the MSCI World Index and 11% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. For the fiscal year, ended September 30, the returns are 15% for the Fund, 22% for the MSCI World Index, and 19% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. As always, we are most pleased to report the Fund's 10% compound annualized rate of return since inception, which compares to 2% for the MSCI World Index and 3% for the Lipper Global Fund Index for the same period.
The countries that contributed most to the Fund's quarterly return were the U.S., Switzerland, and Spain, although it should be noted that the U.S. return was weak in relative terms. Japan was the only country to detract from the Fund's return in the quarter. The five largest contributors to the Fund's return in the quarter were Snap-on (U.S.), Credit Suisse (Switzerland), Hirose Electric (Japan), Banco Santander (Spain), and Discovery Communications, Series C (U.S.). The Fund holdings that detracted most were Canon (Japan), Intel (U.S.), FedEx (U.S.), ROHM (Japan) and Omron (Japan).
For the calendar nine months, the highest contributing countries were the U.S., Germany and Switzerland, although it must be noted that none of these three stand out relative to their local markets. Australia and Japan detracted from the nine-month return. Snap-on, Discovery Communications, Oracle (all U.S.-domiciled), Daiwa Securities Group and Hirose Electric (both Japan) were the leading contributors. Square Enix (Japan), Canon, ROHM, Health Net (U.S.), and Julius Baer (Switzerland) detracted most from the nine-month return. For the Fund's fiscal year, the U.S., Switzerland and Germany were the leading contributors to return, while Japan was the only detractor. Although the U.S. return was not exceptional on a relative basis in the period, all five companies that led the contributors list were American: Snap-on, Equifax, Discovery Communications, MasterCard and Union Pacific. Detractors were ROHM, Canon, Square Enix, Health Net and Credit Suisse.
Last quarter, we wrote about Credit Suisse, which had performed poorly in that period. We noted that the Swiss National Bank was pressuring the company to increase its balance sheet strength even though Credit Suisse was likely to satisfy regulatory capital requirements well into the future. Credit Suisse chose to issue new equity in the September quarter, and somewhat surprisingly the stock responded with a strong gain. We always find equity issuances at low valuations to be troubling because they dilute the intrinsic value per share of pre-issuance
shareholders. Nevertheless, this issuance, timed with a strong rebound in the Swiss stock market, seems to have had a salutary effect.
Another Swiss holding of interest in the quarter was Julius Baer Group. Julius Baer formally announced the acquisition of Bank of America's International Wealth Management (IWM) business for CHF 1.5 billion, the amount investors expected. The valuation is very attractive at only 9.5x earnings, assuming Baer retains approximately 90% of IWM's assets under management and achieves its synergy targets. However, there are some risks to the deal. First, IWM is currently operating at a loss and needs to improve profitability. We believe this risk to be limited given Baer's track record of successfully integrating past acquisitions. Second, the transaction could take 12 to 18 months to complete, which is longer than investors had expected. While many of the assets are in legal entities that can transition quickly, approximately half are tied to individual bankers. Baer's management will need to attract each of these bankers individually to integrate these assets. Although this method produces some uncertainty, a positive aspect is that the pricing of the entire deal is variable and predicated on retaining assets.
Investor anxiety over the unclear elements surrounding this acquisition weighed on Baer's stock price. Although we also believe that it will take time to determine the total cost and scale of the deal, we find IWM's geographic footprint very attractive. In our view, the acquisition price is reasonable, and considering that Baer's management team has a history of success when it comes to acquisitions, we believe that IWM will be even more valuable under the Julius Baer brand.
Portfolio Activity
Our trading activity in the quarter was comparatively modest, so country allocations did not change substantively. The Fund's largest overweight countries, when compared to the MSCI World Index, continue to be Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Italy. Because the Fund holds a relatively limited number of companies and is value-oriented, it does not hold positions in many countries represented in the MSCI World Index. The largest underweights include the U.K., Canada and the U.S. While it may not be obvious to U.S. residents, the U.S. stock market has meaningfully outperformed most peers over the past few years, resulting in the U.S. weight in the MSCI World Index growing to 54%. In the Fund, the U.S. is by far the largest allocation at 49%, but this is still well below the Index weight. As we've often said, we do not invest the Fund against the benchmark but attempt to select the most attractive securities based on our understanding of their intrinsic value per share. The Fund's prospectus guidelines give us considerable flexibility to go wherever our understanding of value takes us.
During the past quarter we initiated one new position, Devon Energy (U.S.) and exited our investment in Assa Abloy

(Sweden). Assa Abloy performed well for the Fund, and its sale primarily reflects our recognition that other opportunities were more attractive.
Devon Energy is an independent energy company with exploration and production operations in the U.S. and Canada. The company reported proved reserves of 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent and drilled almost 2,500 gross wells in 2011. It holds roughly 13 million net acres, of which roughly two-thirds are undeveloped. Devon Energy also produces more than 3% of all the natural gas consumed in North America each day. Although the market perceives Devon Energy as mainly a natural gas company, approximately 40% of its reserve base and 80% of its revenues come from sales of oil and natural gas liquids (such as propane, butane and ethane). We think this will provide Devon the advantage of maintaining cash flows and growing per-share value even when natural gas prices are depressed. During the past few years, management intensified its focus on increasing shareholder value. John Richels, elected president and chief executive officer in June 2010, has improved Devon Energy's capital allocation strategy and strengthened its balance sheet. As evidence, Devon divested some of its international and Gulf of Mexico operations and used about half of the proceeds to repurchase shares and the other half to reduce net debt. In our opinion, both uses enhanced shareholder value. In addition, despite the reduction of assets, the company's proved reserves have grown subsequent to these sales. Devon and Sumitomo Corporation recently entered into a joint venture in which Sumitomo will invest $1.4 billion and receive 30% interest in approximately 650,000 of Devon's net acres. This partnership will result in the drilling of approximately 40 additional gross wells in the Permian Basin, and Sumitomo will pay 79% of the overall drilling and completion costs during the carry period. We think this joint venture may also be a value-enhancing activity. In our view, Devon Energy is a high-quality company with strong fundamentals and a management team that is working effectively for the benefit of investors.
We continue to believe that the U.S. dollar is undervalued relative to other global currencies. As of quarter end, approximately 60% of the Fund's Australian dollar, 60% of the Japanese yen and 35% of the Swiss franc exposures were hedged. After the sale of Assa Abloy during the quarter, we no longer had exposure to the Swedish krona, so we closed the hedge.

26 THE OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Global Select Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary
William C. Nygren, CFA
Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Manager
oakwx@oakmark.com
The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 17% for the year ended September 30, 2012, underperforming the MSCI World Index's12 22% return. For the latest quarter and calendar year to date, respectively, the Fund was up 3% and 12%, while the MSCI World Index returned 7% and 13%. The Fund has returned an average of 4% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 1% over the same period.
The top contributor to performance for the past 12 months was Comcast, the largest cable provider in the U.S., returning 71%. The company's business services, broadband units and recently acquired NBC assets have enjoyed strong results. We continue to like Comcast's positioning as both the largest system operator (video, internet and digital phone services) and a large producer of content. Its cable business has considerable scale advantages and continues to thrive despite growing availability of video via the Internet. Over the past year management has returned more capital to shareholders, which we applaud, by boosting its dividend 44% and announcing a new $6.5 billion share-repurchase authorization. We believe Comcast is poised to continue providing good returns for our shareholders.
ROHM, a Japanese-based semiconductor manufacturer, was the top detractor for the year, falling 34%. Share prices fell the most during the second quarter of 2012 after ROHM released fiscal year results that showed a year-over-year sales decline of approximately 11% and an operating profit decline of approximately 81%. Most of ROHM's troubles revolve around its failure to expand its customer base outside of Japan. Historically ROHM's management focused on Japanese consumer electronics companies because of proximity and ease of communication. However, ROHM's new president and previous head of overseas sales, Satoshi Sawaura, has prioritized overseas expansion. We think that investing in overseas offices to get closer to clients is a very positive move. For example, ROHM's backlog for chips used in automobiles has been growing, and the recent Thai floods caused more non-Japanese auto companies to approach ROHM for potential business. ROHM was sold from this highly concentrated Fund during the quarter, though it remained in the more diversified Oakmark International and Oakmark Global.
There was a flurry of trading activity during the quarter. In addition to ROHM, we sold our positions in Diageo, Nestle and SAP and added four new names to the portfolio. Since there are so many new names in the portfolio, we would like to familiarize our shareholders with the new holdings by providing an overview of each name below.
Canon is a Japan-based professional and consumer imaging solutions company and patent-holder of digital imaging technologies. The company's products also include business office equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, television broadcast lenses and devices used for eye examinations.
We think that Canon is an attractive investment due to its formidable technological innovation and strength. The company holds several patents for the products it manufactures, giving the firm a measure of exclusivity. Over the past 10 years, Canon has consistently ranked second or third each year among the top 10 corporations awarded U.S. patents. The firm enjoys an original equipment manufacturer relationship with Hewlett-Packard that has spanned 25 years. Over the past few years, Canon has been Hewlett-Packard's sole source for printers and Laser Beam Printers (used primarily by businesses). In addition to its core products, Canon also sells the related consumables, resulting in considerable supplemental cash flow. Management has repurchased almost 13% of outstanding shares since 2005, and plans are in place to continue stock repurchases.
Fiat Industrial was spun off from Fiat SpA in January 2011 and currently consists of three main divisions: Iveco, FPT Industrial and Case New Holland Global (CNH). Iveco makes trucks and commercial vehicles, mostly in Western Europe and Latin America. FPT Industrial is an engine manufacturer for CNH, Iveco and other non-captive clients. CNH is second in the world among agricultural equipment companies, behind Deere, and the fifth-largest construction equipment company. While Fiat Industrial currently owns just under 90% of CNH, Fiat Industrial's management just announced it is pursuing a full merger with the company. We believe CNH is strong and is well-positioned to benefit from global food consumption growth. In our view, this merger will provide Fiat Industrial with several advantages, including improved utilization of FPT technology with CNH, a more efficient capital structure along with significant net interest expense savings, better integration of financial services, increased scale in emerging markets and more flexibility to pursue strategic actions. We also think that based on these expected advantages, this merger is very good news for Fiat Industrial shareholders. The economic distress enveloping Italy has depressed the stock prices of many choice companies domiciled there, enabling us to purchase shares of Fiat Industrial at what we view as an extreme discount. Fiat Industrial is an internationally diversified company that generates only a fraction of its sales and profits in Italy and less than 25% of its sales in Western Europe.
Kuehne + Nagel is one of the world's leading freight forwarders and is a high-growth, high-return, cash-generating business. As a freight forwarder, it benefits directly from expanding global trade, which has been on the rise over the past 20-plus years. In our view, Kuehne + Nagel has the best global operating assets in its industry and is employing an effective business model. Currently, the company holds the leading market position for ocean shipping operations, is second in air operations and has a true global warehouse network. Importantly, its air and ocean volumes had a compound annual growth rate since 2000 of 12% and 18%, respectively, and it also generates healthy operating returns on assets. We believe that Kuehne + Nagel's

management team is one of the best in its sector. The company has gained market share in both its air and ocean businesses for the past 10 years, which in our view demonstrates management's extensive expertise.
PPR, a French consumer discretionary company, is the world's third-largest luxury group (behind LVMH & Richemont) and owns a 99% stake in exclusive Italian company Gucci Group. Other elite brands include Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney and Yves Saint Laurent, among others. PPR's management has been divesting businesses that add little value and is working to strengthen market presence for its core and, in our view, its higher quality Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle divisions. One of the company's premier brands, Gucci Group, appears to us to be considerably underappreciated. Sales channels for Gucci products have been expanded, as Gucci goods are now available at several mass retail operations as well as through direct distribution. Demand for Gucci merchandise has been surging in China and other emerging markets, which has significantly improved PPR's competitive position in these high growth regions. PPR's other luxury brands are also particularly well-positioned with a strong presence in the Leather and Shoes trade, which is the fastest growing (and one of the highest margin) segments of the luxury sector. Additionally, the company's Sport & Lifestyle group, which already houses the well-known PUMA brand, recently acquired the Cobra Golf and Volcom names. We believe these additions will provide ongoing added value. Lastly, management has a significant vested interest in growing shareholder value, as insiders own approximately 40% of the company's shares.
Geographically, 45% of the Fund's assets were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of September 30, while approximately 34% was allocated to equities in Europe and 16% to Japan. The remaining assets were invested in Canadian stocks.
Due to the U.S. dollar's weakness relative to other global currencies, we currently hedge two underlying foreign currencies, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc.
We have built a fund of what we feel are undervalued companies that trade at attractive prices and that are run by management teams who focus on building shareholder value. We believe that the Fund is well-positioned to generate favorable long-term results for our fellow shareholders. We thank you for your continued support and confidence.

Oakmark International Fund September 30, 2012
Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager
oakix@oakmark.com
The Oakmark International Fund returned 17% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2012, comparing favorably to the MSCI World ex U.S. Index,14 which returned 14%. The Fund has returned an average of 10% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6% per year over the same period.
Lloyds Banking Group, the dominant retail bank in the U.K., was the top contributor to performance for the past 12 months. We initiated our Lloyds position in December 2011 when uncertainty about macroeconomic conditions, as well as about Lloyds's management succession, caused shares to fall 64% over the course of the year. Share prices have rebounded and the stock has returned 65% since our initial purchase. The new CEO, Antonio Osorio, is more focused on cost efficiency and risk controls than previous leaders and is focused on disposing of non-core assets. The HBOS integration continues. We expect credit costs to come down as Lloyds works through its HBOS book. We continue to believe that this integration affords significant opportunities for cost improvements, although it will be some time before they are realized. We believe Lloyd's strong deposit franchise is being significantly undervalued by the market in today's extremely low interest rate environment. Lloyds has very little exposure to PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) and we believe it is a great investment for our shareholders.
ASSA ABLOY, the world's largest manufacturer of locks, security doors and access control systems, was another top contributor for the fiscal year ending September 30, returning 59%. Despite a slowdown in the European economy, ASSA is experiencing stable demand through much of Europe, although demand in Italy and Spain is weakening. ASSA has recently increased its focus on R&D, both through internal growth and through acquisitions. Over the past year, many of the company's acquisitions have focused on door systems. Emerging market penetration continues and now makes up close to 25% of the company's sales. We expect ASSA to use cash to keep the innovation cycle turning, either through technology innovation or via acquisitions.
ROHM, a Japanese-based semiconductor manufacturer, was the top detractor for the year, falling 35%. Share prices fell the most during the second quarter of 2012 after ROHM released fiscal year results that showed a year-over-year sales decline of approximately 11% and an operating profit decline of approximately 81%. Most of ROHM's troubles revolve around its failure to expand its customer base outside of Japan. Historically ROHM's management focused on Japanese consumer electronics companies because of proximity and ease of communication. However, ROHM's new president and previous head of overseas sales, Satoshi Sawaura, has made overseas expansion a priority. We think that investing in overseas offices to get closer to clients is a very positive move. For example, ROHM's backlog
for chips used in automobiles has been growing, and the recent Thai floods caused more non-Japanese auto companies to approach ROHM for potential business. Management also seems to be more focused on shareholder value and is considering a share buyback, especially because of the weak share price. With the overseas expansion, potential share buyback, and very solid balance sheet ROHM is, in our view, attractively priced. We remain confident about ROHM's long-term risk-reward profile.
Canon, a Japanese professional and consumer imaging solutions company, also detracted from performance for the year, falling 28%. Investors reacted negatively to depressed first-quarter sales, which were primarily a result of a 9% sales decrease in Canon's office segment. The lower sales figures also prompted the company to reduce earnings guidance. Additionally, the strong yen continues to negatively impact margins. However, Canon announced it will release its first mirrorless camera later this year. We expect the new product will finally allow Canon to successfully compete with other companies who already have products in this category. Canon has also continued its share buyback program, and it has repurchased almost 13% of outstanding shares since 2005. We believe Canon is an attractive investment due to its formidable technological innovation and strength. The company holds several patents for the products it manufactures, giving the firm a measure of exclusivity. We think that Canon remains a good investment opportunity for our shareholders.
We made only a few changes to the portfolio during the quarter. We sold our position in G4S, and we added FANUC to the Fund. FANUC is the world's largest maker of computer numerically controlled equipment, which is necessary to automate machine tools in various manufacturing processes.
Geographically we ended the quarter with 70% of our holdings in Europe, 24% in Japan, 4% in Australia and the remainder in North America.
The U.S. dollar remains undervalued compared to many global currencies. We continue to hedge the portfolio defensively and currently have hedging positions on a portion of the Fund's Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and Swedish krona exposures.
We continue to adhere to a long-term value philosophy that we believe has enabled us to build a portfolio of high quality names trading at discounts to our estimate of intrinsic value. We thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support.

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to 9% for the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index.17 For the fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund returned 13.2%, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index, which returned 12.8%.
The top-performing stock for the one-year period was German-based Duerr AG. Duerr is the world's largest paint-shop designer for the automotive industry. Duerr designs and constructs fully automatic paint finishing plants, final assembly systems, and air purifiers in Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The company has experienced a surge in demand due to investment in emerging markets (59% of incoming orders in the past 12 months). As a result, Duerr has raised earnings guidance multiple times this year, and margins have improved in all of the company's divisions. We recently met with company management, and we believe Duerr will continue to benefit from this trend. We also believe that they will be able to be more selective in the orders they take going forward, which should further boost profitability.
For the recent quarter, Altran Technologies was the Fund's top-performing stock. Headquartered in France, Altran is the largest engineering outsourcing firm in Europe. Its main client industries are aerospace, defense and telecommunications. We first purchased the stock in January 2012 just after a new management team had taken over. Since this time, the management team has worked to turn the company around by selling non-core assets, reducing indirect costs and improving free cash flow conversion. We see potential for additional initiatives and improved profitability. Altran is looking at several small acquisitions to strengthen its international operations, which we believe would further enhance value.
The largest detractor from performance for the year was Japanese temporary staffing firm Pasona Group. Pasona has struggled with large profit declines due largely to a sluggish Japanese temporary staffing market. We believe the outplacement business may improve as major manufacturers in Japan focus on restructuring efforts. However, the road ahead for Pasona will be challenging.
U.K. sporting goods retailer JJB Sports was a detractor from performance for both one-year and the past quarter's returns. In the spring, things looked promising for JJB, as they gained Dick's Sporting Goods as a strategic partner. Dick's brought to the table strong relationships with two leading sporting goods suppliers, Nike and Adidas, and it also supplied additional funds to help the JJB management team with in-store restructurings. The strategic partnership appeared to come at a key time for JJB, with European football and the summer Olympics coming to London. However, JJB's two large competitors aggressively priced these key sporting events, and JJB sales continued to struggle. We divested of our holding of JJB Sports during the quarter. Since this time JJB Sports has put itself up for sale.
This quarter we added Panalpina Welttransport, the world's fourth largest freight forwarder and a name we've owned in the past. Based in Switzerland, Panalpina provides intercontinental air and ocean freight forwarding and supply chain management services through about 500 branches in about 80 countries. Panalpina has recently brought in a number of managers from outside the company with industry experience, which we believe will be the catalyst for Panalpina to report profitability levels more in line with its peers in a three- to four-year time horizon. In addition to JJB Sports, we sold our holdings in Bunzl and Lawson during the quarter.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with our European holdings comprising 56% of the portfolio and with Pacific Rim holdings decreasing slightly to 40%.
Our hedging philosophy and practice has remained consistent, and because we continue to believe that the U.S. dollar remains weak against some currencies, we maintained hedge positions on five of the Fund's currency exposures. At the recent quarter end, we have hedged a portion of the Fund's Australian dollar, Norwegian krone, Swiss franc, Japanese yen and Swedish krona exposures.
We thank you for your continued confidence and support.

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 open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund, other than Select and Global Select, is diversified in accordance with the 1940 Act. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Class disclosure—
Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. Class I Shares are offered to the general public. Class II Shares are offered to certain retirement plans such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Class II Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average net assets of Class II Shares of the Funds. This service fee is paid to a third-party administrator for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Class I Shares do not have such an associated service fee. Global Select had no outstanding Class II shares during the year ended September 30, 2012.
Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses of the Funds not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are allocated to each class pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and other shareholder servicing fees are specific to each class.
Redemption fees—
Int'l Small Cap imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to help offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by abusive trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is paid to the Fund and is 2% of the redemption value and is deducted from either the redemption proceeds or from the balance in the account. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method is used to determine the holding period. The Funds may approve the waiver of redemption fees on certain types of accounts held through intermediaries, pursuant to the Funds' policies and procedures. Prior to August 1, 2012 Global, Global Select and International also imposed a redemption fee.
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 are valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sales price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, or the official closing price, or are based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Each long-term debt instrument is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price from an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price from an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, lacking any reported sale price on the valuation date, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations or, if the mean is not available, at the most recent bid quotation.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE. At September 30, 2012 Equity and Income, Global, and International each held a security for which a market quotation was not readily available and which was valued by the pricing committee at a fair value determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The value for each of these securities is determined from observable market prices of similar assets.

Fair value measurement—
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are prioritized into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others)
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds' own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
The Funds recognize transfers between level 1 and level 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At September 30, 2012, there were transfers between level 1 and level 2 securities in the amount of $792,126,167, $107,142,842, $6,155,902,536 and $1,035,942,722 for Global, Global Select, International and Int'l Small Cap, respectively. The transfers were due to securities that were no longer 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2012 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

+ On September 30, 2011, Int'l Small Cap held a security classified as Level 3 within the Investment Banking and Brokerage category with a fair value of zero. During the year ended September 30, 2012, while still valued at zero, this security was disposed of, resulting in a realized loss of $24,294,661. The Funds had no other purchases or sales of Level 3 securities during the year ended September 30, 2012.
Foreign currency translations—
Certain Funds invest in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates obtained by a recognized bank, dealer, or independent pricing service on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and tax reclaims recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the Statements of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts—
Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates. Unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the period is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.

Security transactions and investment income—
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed), and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discount is accreted and premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method and on short-term fixed income securities using the straight-line method. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the specific identification method.
Short sales—
Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. At September 30, 2012, none of the Funds had short sales.
When-issued or delayed-delivery securities—
Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons.
Accounting for options—
When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from option transactions. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current fair value. Options written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparties, to perform.
When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of OTC derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.
The Funds did not write or purchase options during the year ended September 30, 2012.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Committed line of credit—
The Trust has an unsecured committed line of credit (the "Facility") with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in the amount of $500 million. Borrowings under that arrangement bear interest at 1.25% above the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement. To maintain the Facility, an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the year ended September 30, 2012.
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, 2012, none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.
Repurchase agreements—
Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments whereby the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price.
The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities.
Security lending—
Each Fund, except Oakmark, may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Treasurys maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by the Fund. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. In addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period.
At September 30, 2012, none of the Funds had securities on loan.

The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued according to the securities valuation procedures determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.

Federal income taxes—
It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. There is no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2012 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Adviser is contractually obligated through January 31, 2013 to reimburse each Fund Class to the extent, but only to the extent, that its annualized expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary charges such as litigation costs, but including fees paid to the Adviser) exceed the percent set forth below of average daily net assets of each Fund Class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2016, amounts reimbursed to that Fund Class, except to the extent that the Fund Class already has paid such recoupment to the Adviser or such recoupment would cause the annual ordinary operating expenses of a Fund Class for that fiscal year to exceed the applicable limit stated above. As of September 30, 2012 there were no amounts subject to recoupment.
The Adviser and the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an 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 Independent Trustees of the Trust may participate in the Trust's Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of a participant's deferral account is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more of the Funds or a money market fund as specified by the participant. Benefits would be payable after a stated number of years or retirement from the board. The accrued obligations of the Funds under the plan are reflected as deferred Trustee compensation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the accrued obligations for the period is included in Trustees fees in the Statements of Operations. The Trust pays the compensation of the Trustees other than those affiliated with the Adviser and all expenses incurred in connection with their services to the Trust. The Trust does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its Trustees.
The Funds reimburse the Adviser for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The CCO expenses incurred by the Funds are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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, 2012, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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 audits 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, 2012, 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, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

(b) No disclosures are required by this Item 2(b).
(c) During the period covered by the report, no amendments were made to the provisions of the Code.
(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: Christine M. Maki, Stephen S. Rogers, Burt W. Ruder, Peter S. Voss 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, 2012 | | Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011 | |
Audit Fees(1) | | $ | 243,000 | | $ | 243,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees(2) | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees(3) | | $ | 39,700 | | $ | 39,700 | |
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.
(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.
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, 2012 and September 30, 2011 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 $0 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 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.
