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
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-14-041933/j1482751_ba008.jpg)
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The markets provided modest positive returns to shareholders during the first quarter of 2014. It is nice to see that investors reacted with relative calm to geopolitical events this quarter, showing a notable resiliency compared to recent years. The U.S. economy is growing moderately, as are corporate earnings, and unemployment levels are slowly continuing to fall. Communications from our new Federal Reserve Chairman reflect a commitment to keeping interest rates low while executing a gentle retreat in quantitative easing. Investors appear more confident that equities are the best asset class for delivering long-term returns.
High Frequency Trading Debate
Michael Lewis published a book last week called Flash Boys that is attracting much media attention to high-frequency trading ("HFT") in the stock markets. It is fascinating to see the spotlight return to this topic. One will recall that the Securities and Exchange Commission spent considerable time researching whether and how the "flash crash" of 2010 was affected by HFT. Computer-based trading and technology failures severely hurt Knight Capital and, separately, the Facebook IPO in the summer of 2012, prompting another discussion of how to manage the vulnerabilities introduced by the speed and capacity of computerized trading. Now, Michael Lewis describes how fast data feeds and special exchange order types have enabled HFT computers to execute trades in microseconds and get ahead of other market participants. The debates between certain exchange participants and Mr. Lewis are becoming highly charged but, indeed, informative. We think it is good that discussions about these issues are putting the spotlight on market health and functionality.
Over the years the traders at Harris Associates have worked diligently to navigate a technologically advanced landscape of broker algorithms, liquidity sources and evolving market structure. The tools they have cultivated assist us in accessing the additional liquidity in electronic markets without revealing too much about the nature of our trades. We think the customizations we've implemented, including using price limits and minimum fill quantities, as well as accessing dark pools and block trading venues, have helped reduce our exposure to predatory HFT strategies. We regularly review broker algorithms, order routing data and venue performance so that we can constantly adjust and improve how our orders are handled. Although we can never be perfectly insulated from HFT exposure, our practices appear to help. We believe our trading costs compare favorably to other investment managers. In fact, in December 2013, Institutional Investor's Transaction Cost Analysis survey1 ranked Harris Associates sixth overall in the Elkins/McSherry universe of asset management firms for exhibiting trading costs below market averages.
We welcome the chance for market participants to gain a better understanding and to have access to more transparency regarding trading behavior. However, let's remember two important elements of context—one applicable to all investors and one especially to Oakmark shareholders. All investors have benefited from the narrower spreads and enormous drop in commissions that markets have seen over the past decade. Trading commissions that once cost seven to ten cents per share—or more—can now be as low as fractions of a penny. The proliferation of algorithmic trading models and dozens of alternative trading venues has made trade execution hugely competitive, delivering benefits to all who own stocks. For shareholders in The Oakmark Funds, note that we are not

actively trading in and out of stocks in your portfolios. Our portfolio turnover is relatively low, implying that we typically hold securities for years at a time. Further, our interest in a company's stock is not driven by trading dynamics. We look for stocks trading at a substantial discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. Our focus on identifying a stock's true economic value and our willingness to patiently own it until that value is realized means that the penny-perfect purchase or sale price does not contribute meaningfully to the total return of the stock for our shareholders. We do, however, eagerly follow all developments in the trading arena, such as broker behavior and technological tools. This is part of good stewardship of shareholder assets. But in our view, market phenomena such as HFT are unlikely to contribute to or detract meaningfully from our success.
Lipper Awards for 2014*
In March, Lipper awarded The Oakmark Funds the "Best Equity Large Fund Group" for 2014. We are pleased to be recognized for our achievements amongst the competitive landscape represented by our peers. Also, The Oakmark Global Fund was recognized by Lipper for excellence in its category for the ten-year period.
We are grateful to receive industry accolades and are even more thankful for your continued trust in The Oakmark Funds. Please email us with your questions and comments at ContactOakmark@Oakmark.com.
* The Oakmark Family of Funds was named Lipper's Best Equity Large Fund Group, an award designed to recognize fund families with strong track records across all of their funds. Oakmark was ranked first out of 46 eligible fund groups due to the performance of all seven of its underlying funds. Each fund group must have at least three funds in Lipper's general U.S.-stock category, one world (global and international), one mixed-asset/balanced (stocks and bonds), two taxable bond and one tax-exempt bond fund. Eligibility requires that the fund group have at least five U.S. fund portfolios and each have at least 36 months of performance history ending at November of the evaluation year. Lipper's Large Fund Group classification is comprised of fund managers with assets under management of $50.7 billion or more as of 11/30/13.
The Oakmark Global Fund won an award in Lipper's Global Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the 10-year period. The Oakmark Global Fund, managed by Clyde McGregor and Rob Taylor, follows Harris Associates' value-oriented process to find opportunities across the globe. The fund was recognized for its consistent, risk-adjusted performance over the long term.
The Lipper Fund Awards are presented annually by Lipper, a mutual fund rating and research firm, to honor funds that it believes have excelled in providing superior performance relative to peers around the world. The awards are part of the broader Thomson Reuters Awards for Excellence program. More information about the Lipper Fund Awards is available at http://excellence.thomsonreuters.com/award/lipper.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The following table provides information about actual account values and actual Fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from October 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014
Portfolio Manager Commentary
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-14-041933/j1482751_da002.jpg)
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-14-041933/j1482751_da003.jpg)
The Oakmark Fund increased 2% in the first quarter, fractionally exceeding the S&P 5002 gain, which also rounded to 2%. For the first half of our fiscal year Oakmark Fund was up 14%, compared to 13% for the S&P 500. Additionally, the Fund ended the quarter at an all-time high price. Because our goal is to increase the capital of our shareholders, we are always pleased to report new highs.
After such a strong year for equities in 2013, we are not surprised to see returns moderate as we move into 2014. Stocks certainly aren't as cheap as they were a year ago, but we are still finding attractive companies to add to the portfolio. At Oakmark, we're big fans of the Chicago Blackhawks, so as we approach playoff time, we start to think about some of the best hockey clichés. One of our favorites is, "a two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey." While we are amused by the fragile logic of this statement, we appreciate the simple message that in a fast-paced, competitive environment, you can't sit on a lead. At Oakmark, we have an amazing team of research analysts who have remained diligent in uncovering attractive investment opportunities. As you will see below, we added four companies to the portfolio during the first quarter that we think are high-quality and attractively priced.
The best performing stock in the quarter was Forest Labs, up 54%. Forest has been an incredibly successful investment for the Oakmark Fund, and we offer our congratulations to the company's board and management team for maximizing per-share value for shareholders. It has only been one year since we first wrote about our purchase of Forest Labs, and since then, the share price has increased 149%. Please refer to the Oakmark Select commentary for a more detailed description of our tax-efficient sale strategy for Forest. Another top performer was our largest position, Bank of America. We still think the financial services sector is attractively valued, and with Bank of America, we are pleased to see investors recognize better visibility of higher future earnings and an enhanced capacity to return excess capital to shareholders. Our worst performer was General Motors, down 15%, due to what we believe was the market's overreaction to GM's handling of a recent product recall. We eliminated our position in Merck as the shares appreciated to our estimate of fair value.
Citigroup Inc. (C-$48)
Like its universal bank peers, we think Citigroup is significantly undervalued relative to its normalized earnings power. Unlike its peers, however, it has two hidden sources of value, neither of which is reflected in GAAP earnings: a deferred tax asset and a larger base of excess capital that is growing at a rapid rate. We have long admired Citigroup's global franchise and its growth potential. One of Citigroup's key competitive advantages is its unique global reach. Citigroup has more than twice as many country banking licenses and direct local payment network connections as its closest competitor. As a result, we think
Citigroup is uniquely positioned to offer corporate clients more visibility into their asset, liability and currency exposures, but requires fewer resources to manage the relationship. We would be remiss not to mention Citigroup's recent Fed stress test results. Although the qualitative results were disappointing, its quantitative stress test results confirm our analysis that the company has significantly more excess capital than its peers. We expect this capital to eventually benefit shareholders either through capital return or smart balance sheet growth.
Diageo PLC (DEO-$125)
Diageo is the world's largest spirits manufacturer. Diageo has a portfolio of spirits brands that is among the best in the industry, including a leading scotch franchise that is nearly impossible to replicate. These strong brands are supported by the company's global scale, which allows for meaningful efficiencies in manufacturing, distribution and marketing. As a result of these advantages, we believe Diageo will maintain its excellent competitive position. At the same time, revenues have grown consistently for years due to a combination of pricing power and emerging markets exposure, and this growth should continue for the foreseeable future. We believe this well-managed company is selling at a large discount to intrinsic value. Further, Diageo has a dividend yield of 2.5%.
General Mills, Inc. (GIS-$52)
We believe General Mills is a high quality, well-managed packaged foods company with exposure to fast-growing product categories. The company has an impressive track record of stable earnings growth, and it has consistently returned most of its strong free cash flow to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends. We think revenue and margins will continue to grow, primarily driven by its international business. The company has an attractive global cereal joint venture with Nestle, which often gets overlooked by investors. With consistent profit growth and a shrinking share base, we like its prospects for per-share value growth. In addition, General Mills has a dividend yield of 3.2%.
Sanofi (SNY-$52)
Sanofi is a pharmaceutical company with a good mix of durable businesses with strong growth characteristics. The company has a strong franchise in diabetes treatments, maintaining dominant market share in this rapidly growing category. Sanofi is a leading player in emerging markets, where sales growth rates are twice that of the overall pharmaceutical market. Sanofi is also a leader in vaccines, and they have a strong footprint in over-the-counter products. We think that margins and profitability should improve as the company leverages fixed R&D spending and enforces good cost controls. The company's balance sheet has more cash than debt, and the shares sell at a substantial discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. Moreover, Sanofi has a dividend yield of 3.7%.

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund gained 5%, compared to 2% for the S&P 500 Index2. We are pleased to report the Fund ended the quarter at a new all-time high NAV, meaning that as of 03/31/14, all current Select shareholders have unrealized gains in their holdings. These strong absolute and relative results were due in large part to Forest Laboratories (Forest) agreeing to be acquired by Actavis Plc in the quarter. Our relatively large exposure to auto-related cyclicals and financials continued to benefit our results. The largest detractors were MasterCard, Kennametal and FedEx. As discussed below, we eliminated our positions in Forest, Texas Instruments (TI) and Newfield Exploration, and we established new positions in Franklin Resources and CBRE Group (CBRE).
After returning 40% last quarter, Forest returned another 52% in the first quarter as the company agreed to be acquired by Actavis for both cash and stock. We believe the acquisition price was full and fair. While our investment thesis—that Forest's new drug launches would be successful and leverage the company's expenses—did not have the chance to transpire, we are more than pleased that the stock price reached our estimated value in short order. It's not uncommon for the management of companies in transition to resist being acquired before their strategies to create value are fully realized. We applaud the leaders at Forest for their willingness to pull forward this value, even if it denied them the personal satisfaction of seeing their efforts realized in the coming years. We believe this could serve as a lesson for the leadership of other public companies. If someone wants to pay a fair price on a risk-adjusted basis for 'what could be' in your business, you owe it to your shareholders to realize this value so that they can recycle their capital into other attractively valued investments.
At Oakmark, active management means more than just stock selection—it also involves maximizing after-tax returns and managing risk in special situations. As a case in point, we sold our Forest position in a tax-efficient manner throughout the quarter as our shares became long term holdings for tax purposes. To reduce our risk while we sold our shares, we established a short position in Actavis in proportion to the stock component of the transaction. This position was then reduced commensurate with our Forest stake until it was fully eliminated, thereby generating only long-term capital gains. We were comfortable with hedging the stock portion of our Forest position because of our belief that Actavis equity was selling closer to fair value. And unlike that of most acquirers, Actavis'
stock price rose meaningfully upon announcement of the transaction and in the days thereafter. Logic follows that Actavis shares were more likely to fall if the deal was scuttled by another bidder or some other unforeseen reason, thus providing an unusually effective hedge.
We also eliminated the remainder of our investment in TI as the final tranche of shares went long term. TI offers another example of a management team that we believe puts its shareholders first in a situation where many do not. Since its acquisition of National Semiconductor in 2011, TI has been generously returning excess capital to shareholders while maintaining a prudent, but not lazy, balance sheet. This likely contributed to their shares approaching our estimate of fair value. Many large technology companies today simply grow their already immense cash positions and offer little insight into their plans for distributing that excess capital. We believe TI set a terrific example for other companies in the technology sector. Finally, we also sold Newfield Exploration after we came to believe that its effort to transition the company to liquids was a low-return proposition that would limit its ability to grow per-share value.
We established a position in Franklin Resources, one of the world's largest global mutual fund companies, with leading products in both equities and fixed income. For starters, we believe asset management is an attractive business and Franklin has a history of strong fund performance across various asset classes and geographies. The company is selling for less than 14x our estimate of this year's EPS8 and just over 11x adjusting for net cash and securities. In our view, this is a cheap price for a well-run company in such an attractive industry. Management has historically returned capital to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends, and with insiders owning 35% of outstanding shares, we expect Franklin to continue to be good stewards of shareholders' capital.
As the largest commercial real estate brokerage and property management company in the U.S., CBRE has the geographic reach, scale and breadth of services that very few competitors in this fragmented industry can match. Bundling its services across the globe has led to share gains, which we believe will continue. While certain business lines are more volatile, related commercial real estate activity metrics are improving. At the same time, an increasing proportion of the company's profits are coming from more stable fee-based revenues. Management has a good track record, and we believe this growing company is selling for a substantial discount to value.

Off Target
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker has remarked that the only useful financial innovation over the past few decades is the ATM. While we have a slightly less extreme view, we are sympathetic to his point and are naturally suspect of new financial products and services. A recent "innovation" about which some of our shareholders have asked is the "target-date fund." A target-date fund is a mutual fund that automatically changes its asset allocation over time using a preset "glide path" such that the stock allocation is steadily reduced while the fixed income allocation is increased. The purpose of this is to automate the conventional wisdom that says investors should reduce their equity exposure as they age. We won't challenge this conventional wisdom (though some studies suggest that investors should actually increase their equity allocation throughout retirement), but we are concerned with its incorporation into the target-date model.
In our view, the problem is that a rigid adherence to a "glide path" might be prudent much of the time, but it's not prudent all of the time. Mindlessly shifting from stocks to bonds over time using a static plan fails to account for just how dynamic the world is. Bonds aren't inherently less risky than stocks, and stocks aren't inherently higher returning than bonds. It all depends on price. And as recent experience has shown, prices change a lot. During the tech bubble of the late 1990s, the S&P 500 was priced so high that the return over the next decade was actually lower than that provided by bonds. Conversely, at the start of last year when interest rates were near record lows, bonds not only were priced to offer paltry returns relative to equities, but they also presented considerable risk, as a modest rise in rates would lower the value of bonds and more than offset the income earned.
It's not just this problematic passive approach to asset allocation that concerns us. We are also concerned that target-date funds emphasize asset allocation to the point of distracting investors from focusing on the performance of the assets within the allocation. Investors should pay close attention to the composition of a target-date fund, as the whole will perform no better than the weighted average of the parts (i.e., the equity "sleeve" and the fixed income "sleeve").
Unlike target-date funds, the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund has a flexible asset allocation policy (equities can range from 40% to 75% of the Fund, while fixed income and cash can vary between 25% and 60%); a relentless focus on security selection within each asset class (with a long record of outstanding equity performance); its managers' interests are aligned with shareholders through sizeable personal investments (not typically found in target-date funds); and the Fund's expense ratio
is 15% lower than that of the average target-date fund (based on Morningstar's analysis of the 2012 average). We believe these factors are critical advantages over target-date funds and that they will help us achieve our goal of producing competitive absolute returns over the long run for our shareholders.
Quarter Review
During the quarter, the S&P 5002 was up a modest 2%. While that result hardly seems noteworthy, underlying it was a reasonable amount of volatility, including intra-quarter swings in excess of 5% due largely to geopolitical concerns. As one would expect in this environment, fixed income securities did well. Over this time period, the Equity & Income Fund returned 2%, which was in line with the Lipper Balanced Fund Index's9 return of 2%.
Top contributors to the Fund's return this quarter were Baker Hughes, General Dynamics, Bank of America, Oracle and UnitedHealth Group, while detractors included General Motors, MasterCard, FedEx, Scripps Network and Philip Morris International. Based solely on the individual stock's total return, Ultra Petroleum, Baker Hughes, Bruker, General Dynamics and HNI led the pack with Blount, General Motors, Atlas Air, Scripps Networks and MasterCard bringing up the rear. In the case of both lists, the causes of the stand-out performances were stock specific with no overarching investment themes of note.
GM is one laggard worth touching on, given its size in the portfolio. After advancing sharply in 2013, GM shares fell early in the quarter after management projected 2014 earnings that were lower than many investors were expecting, largely as a result of transient factors. Shares were further pressured in the quarter after it came to light that GM potentially mishandled a recall of discontinued models. While we obviously aren't pleased with either development, we believe GM's low valuation (its shares trade at just seven times consensus estimates for next year's earnings) more than compensates for these issues, and we remain comfortable with it being a top holding of the Fund.
Transaction Activity
After spending much of 2013 with an equity weighting near the Fund's prospectus maximum of 75%, we have moved the equity allocation down to 65%. Following last year's strong upward move in the market, we believe valuations are generally less attractive on a risk-adjusted basis, and we are therefore finding more stocks meeting our sell criteria than our buy criteria.
The Fund eliminated six positions this quarter: three that worked out well (Cimarex Energy, Concho Resources and Crane) and three that didn't (Encana, Hospira and Quest Diagnostics). Cimarex and Concho are oil and gas companies where the Fund invested with what we believe are strong management

teams for long-term and highly successful investments. We would like to thank both management teams for their contributions to the Fund's returns. The last winner—and in this case the least (in terms of weightings)—is Crane. Crane was purchased with the idea that its transition from a holding company with a collection of high quality, niche businesses to a fully integrated, operations-focused business would result in high returns, improved margins and a better stock price. Almost immediately upon initiating a position, the market came to similar conclusions, and we were unable to establish a meaningful position.
Hospira was a longtime holding of the Fund, tracing its roots back to the Fund's investment in Abbott Laboratories, which spun-off Hospira ten years ago. Over the past few years, the company suffered from numerous manufacturing quality issues that caused us to lower our appraisal of value. After management made considerable progress remedying those issues, the stock approached our new, lower sell target, and we exited the position. In the case of Encana and Quest Diagnostics, fundamental underperformance caused us to reexamine our investment cases. We have discussed Encana in previous letters, but a combination of significant management changes, pipeline politics and the exploding growth of North American shale gas production caused us to redeploy the money elsewhere. With Quest, its weakening market share and tougher industry conditions caused us to reduce our exposure to this industry.
We added two new stocks of significance to the portfolio: Knowles and Wells Fargo. With Knowles, a supplier of acoustic solutions to mobile phone makers and hearing aid manufacturers, we didn't buy the shares on the open market, but rather received them through a tax-free spinoff from longtime Oakmark Equity and Income Fund holding Dover Corporation. Even though Dover prides itself on being a diversified industrial company with businesses ranging from drilling equipment for oil and gas companies to refrigerators for retailers, the company decided Knowles could best create shareholder value as a standalone company. Knowles has grown rapidly over the years as consumers demand higher acoustic features in each new generation of smartphones and hearing aids, and we expect this trend to continue, which should drive above average top-line growth. Aided by their Dover experience, Knowles' management team should, in our view, continue to operate the business well and allocate capital wisely.
Our other material addition, Wells Fargo, is the second-largest deposit bank in the United States, holding over 10% of the nation's deposits. We think Wells Fargo has one of the best franchises in retail banking, driven by high local market shares and a relentless focus on cross-selling other banking products like mortgages and credit cards, which increases customer "stickiness." Due to its low-cost deposit base and strong management team, Wells Fargo has earned consistently high returns on equity and, through its purchase of Wachovia (a geographically complementary bank), it was one of the few financial companies able to take advantage of the financial crisis to grow its earning power per share. We believe that its significant capital base and relatively simple business model should enable Wells Fargo to continue to produce strong results.
We thank our shareholders for their support and welcome their questions and comments.

Quarter Review
The Financial Times service Ignites recently surveyed professional investors regarding the importance of macro forecasting to their investment process. "Macro is very important" proved to be the dominant answer. For these macro thinkers, the recent quarter may have been unusually challenging. If a macro investor had known that the quarter would include the Crimea annexation and the West's response, turmoil in important emerging markets (e.g., Thailand, Turkey, South Africa, Egypt and Venezuela), continuation of the tragic civil war in Syria and tepid economic growth in developed economies, we suspect that this investor would have forecasted significant market declines, particularly given 2013's strong market performance. As it happened, however, global stock prices experienced short bouts of volatility, but the quarter ended with modest gains.
During the most recent quarter the Oakmark Global Fund, which is not managed by macro investors, gained 2%. The MSCI World Index's11 return approached 1%, while the Lipper Global Fund Index12 returned 2% during the same time period. For the first six months of the Fund's fiscal year, the returns are 8% for the Fund, 9% for the MSCI World Index and 9% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. Since inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 12%, which compares to 4% for the MSCI World Index and 5% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.
The countries that contributed most to the Fund's return this quarter were Switzerland, the U.S. and Germany. The countries that detracted most from the Fund's return were Japan, the U.K. and France. The five largest contributors to the Fund's return in the quarter were Incitec Pivot (Australia), Oracle (U.S.), Rheinmetall (Germany), Union Pacific (U.S.) and TE Connectivity (Switzerland). The Fund holdings that detracted most were General Motors (U.S.), MasterCard (U.S.), Julius Baer Group (Switzerland), Daiwa Securities Group (Japan) and FedEx (U.S.).
For the fiscal six months, the U.S., Germany and Switzerland contributed the most to investment return, while Japan was the only detractor. Oracle (U.S.), Bank of America (U.S.), Daimler (Germany), Union Pacific (U.S.) and FedEx (U.S.) contributed most to fiscal six-month return, while CNH Industrial (Netherlands), Toyota Motor (Japan), Julius Baer Group (Switzerland), Hirose Electric (Japan) and Itron (U.S.) detracted most.
Portfolio Activity
Investors will recall that U.S. markets performed particularly well in 2013, as did the Global Fund's holdings. Given our value investing philosophy, it should come as no surprise that we reduced the weight of U.S. holdings in the portfolio during the previous quarter. However, we did this without eliminating any holdings. As individual issues approach their sell targets, our practice is to reduce their portfolio weight in favor of those
opportunities that we find more compelling. Remember that the Fund's guidelines are broad: the U.S. (or international) weight can range between 25% and 75% of the portfolio. Therefore, we have considerable flexibility to invest wherever we believe we are finding the best values. Also, your managers' economic interests are aligned with Fund shareholders because we have substantial personal investments in the Global Fund.
Relative to the MSCI World Index, this reduction in the Fund's U.S. weight increased its relative dispersion. The Fund is also underweight the MSCI in the U.K. and France, and it has no exposure to several other countries with index representation (e.g., Canada). Switzerland continues to be the largest overweight versus the index by a substantial margin. Larger Swiss companies typically generate the majority of their revenues outside of their relatively small home country. For several years the Swiss franc has been very strong, and this has reduced the apparent value of foreign-sourced profits when translated back to francs. We believe that this has helped to create the opportunity to purchase shares of well-managed Swiss-domiciled companies at attractive prices.
We initiated two new positions during the quarter, Citigroup (U.S.) and Samsung (Korea), which increased the number of Fund holdings to 43. The Fund went more than eight years without owning shares of a U.S. banking institution until the purchase of Bank of America last fall. We have found that in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis the Federal Reserve created an environment in which the financial industry could rebuild its capital position so that it now offers attractive risk-adjusted investing opportunities. Aside from an attractive valuation, our thesis for investing in Citigroup rests on the company's franchise, management and capital position. With its ability to bank and process payments across more countries than its competitors, Citi's global consumer banking franchise is second to none. Furthermore, in times of economic or political stress in emerging markets, Citigroup is seen as a relatively safe haven locally. In 2013 Michael Corbat became the new CEO of Citigroup, and we find him rational, realistic and respected within the organization. We calculate that Citi has meaningful excess capital, which—combined with its significant deferred tax assets—should give management various options to increase shareholder value. Finally, we note that Citi also has a substantial private banking unit, much of which services the owners and managers of its corporate clients. Late in the quarter the Federal Reserve announced that Citi had failed its latest stress test because of process (rather than capital or liquidity) issues. The stock price dropped following this announcement, giving us the opportunity to build our position at a desirable price.
Samsung Electronics is a new addition for the quarter, but it is not a new name for long-term holders of the Fund. We last owned Samsung in mid-2007, but sold the position when the

shock from the Lehman Brothers collapse gripped global markets, making other names more attractive. Incredibly, we are able to buy Samsung today at a larger discount to our estimate of intrinsic value than we did over five years ago, even though the stock has performed well since that time. We believe that this is due to faster than expected growth of sales and profits in the mobile phone business, along with the dramatic change in the competitive landscape of the memory business. The former has strengthened Samsung's balance sheet, moving the company from a small net debt to a sizable net cash position. The latter means the normal profitability from the memory business should surpass what we've experienced in the past. Samsung is the market leader for DRAM chips, holding nearly 50% of the total market share in all DRAM chips and over 60% market share in higher quality DRAM chips, such as those used in mobile communication devices. Samsung also leads the market in NAND chip production, commanding approximately 40% share. We are well aware of the inherent difficulties of choosing a winner in the mobile handset business, so we incorporated a stress test into our analysis of Samsung that included a downside scenario. Given that Samsung performed solidly on those measures and that we are only paying 4x cashflow, 1x book value and 65% of sales, we believe that the risk/reward of owning Samsung is once again attractive.
Currency Hedges
Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter, but we continue to believe some currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 28% of the Australian dollar and 37% of the Swiss franc were hedged at quarter-end.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, outperforming the MSCI World Index's11 1% return. For the first six months of this fiscal year, the Fund was up 9%, in line with the MSCI World Index. The Fund has returned an average of 9% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5% over the same period.
Bank of America was the top contributor for the quarter, returning 11%. The company's most recent quarterly earnings report demonstrated continued progress toward achieving management's expense reduction targets, driven in large part by declines in the cost of servicing its "legacy" mortgages. As management executes on its plan, investors have increasingly recognized the normalized earning power of Bank of America. We believe the combination of further operational improvements and the company's plan to return capital to shareholders—through its recently increased dividend and additional repurchase authorization—will lead to continued gains in the stock.
Daiwa Securities, Japan's second-largest broker, was the largest detractor for the quarter, falling 12%. Daiwa's stock price was negatively impacted by general Japanese market weakness during the first quarter. FedEx was another detractor for the quarter, falling 8%. FedEx reported weak third quarter numbers, which were significantly skewed by unusually severe weather and the company's widely reported difficulties during the holiday season. Despite the issues with inclement weather, FedEx's ground segment grew nicely; its volume and price grew 8% and 2%, respectively. However, in spite of this performance, the segment's margins trailed last year's, primarily because of hub/network expansion costs. In our view, this expansion will allow for rapid growth and share gains and is, therefore, worth the short-term costs. Finally, we believe FedEx remains focused on its shareholders and on returning capital via stock buybacks. During the most recent quarter, it repurchased approximately $2.7 billion of stock, and since its stock-repurchasing program began in October 2013, the company has repurchased 25 million—or 8%—of its outstanding shares. We expect further buybacks with 15 million shares left under the current authorization.
Geographically, 48% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of March 31, while approximately 42% were allocated to equities in Europe and 10% to equities in Japan.
Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter, but we continue to believe some currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 36% of the Swiss franc was hedged at quarter end.
We would like to thank our shareholders for continuing to support us and our value investing philosophy. We believe we have built a portfolio of high quality companies that will provide our shareholders with attractive returns over the long term.

The Oakmark International Fund returned 1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, slightly outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index. For the first six months of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund returned 5%, which underperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index's13 6% return. Most importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 11% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 7% per year over the same period.
Intesa Sanpaolo, an Italian retail and commercial bank, was the top contributor to performance for the quarter, returning 37%. Since September 2013, Intesa has returned 64%. Though we still believe the stock to be undervalued, we trimmed our holdings as the gap between price and our estimation of value significantly narrowed. During the quarter, management released a new 2017 business plan that we found very positive. Management has committed to return EUR 10 billion to shareholders via dividends over the next four years. This constitutes a cumulative payout ratio in excess of 70%. Even with this return of capital to shareholders, Intesa will be over-capitalized compared to Basel III requirements, leaving the door open for additional capital returns. Additionally, management plans to increase investments in fee-based businesses, including asset management and insurance. We believe management has a solid plan and that this investment will continue to provide value for our shareholders.
Another top contributor was AMP, the leading independent wealth management company in Australia and New Zealand, which returned 20%. AMP's fiscal year end results revealed that the growth in assets under management exceeded expectations. Although its Wealth Protection division continues to face challenges, the company's actions on claims management are beginning to show positive results. Additionally, management remains diligent on cost discipline and has brought controllable costs down 2.6% for the group, despite cost inflation of 2.5-3%. Management continues to return capital to shareholders via dividends and has recently committed to a share repurchase program in order to neutralize its dividend reinvestment program. Finally, we believe AMP is well positioned to benefit from expected increases in retirement savings and wage growth in Australia.
The largest detractor for the quarter was Honda Motor, the Japanese automobile manufacturer, which fell 14%. Honda has reported weaker than expected operating margins since the Civic redesign mishap. A mere 18 months after it launched a major redesign, Honda rushed a refresh of the Civic in order to address concerns with materials and quality. To ensure that the Accord's redesign did not suffer the same fate, Honda ordered changes to the new Accord's power train and engine late in the development cycle, which negatively affected margins. We expect Honda's mid-term margins to continue to feel pressure but do not believe this will damage the company's long-term prospects.
During the quarter we sold our positions of FANUC and Signet Jewelers as they approached our estimate of fair value. We did not add any new names to the Fund during the quarter.
Our geographical composition changed slightly over the past quarter. Our European holdings decreased to approximately 77%, and our Japan holdings increased to approximately 14%. The remaining positions are in Australia, North America (Canada), South Korea and the Middle East.
Global currencies were relatively stable during the quarter, but we continue to believe some currencies are overvalued. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. Approximately 32% of the Australian dollar, 36% of the Swiss franc and 26% of the Swedish krona were hedged at quarter end.
We continue to adhere to a long-term value philosophy that 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 2.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index16, which returned 3.5% for the same period. Holdings in Japan contributed most to the Fund's quarterly return, while Swiss and Australian names were the largest detractors.
The top contributing stock for the quarter was French company Altran Technologies. Altran provides a range of outsourced consulting services, categorized into four main areas: information systems, mechanical engineering, systems engineering and managing product lifecycles. Altran's fiscal 2013 revenues increased a modest 2% year-over-year, which was in line with our expectations; however, revenue trends accelerated during the second half of 2013, positioning the company for better growth in 2014. More importantly, Altran continues to improve how it uses its employees. Its invoicing rates improved in the 4th quarter up from the prior year's 4th quarter period, and they surpassed 86% in November for the first time. Higher invoicing rates are necessary for Altran to narrow the gap between its margins and the margins of its best-in-class peers. Assuming these positive trends continue in 2014, we expect Altran will report another year of margin improvement.
A large detractor from the Fund's performance for the past quarter was Hengdeli Holdings, the large luxury watch retailer in the greater China region. The company recently reported weaker than expected results due to lower demand for luxury watches in China and Hong Kong in 2013. After reporting a number of years of double-digit growth, the luxury watch market was flat year-over-year in 2013. This slowdown is a result of a government crack-down on gifting as well as weakening macro trends in China. While the high end of the market remains under pressure, demand seems to be improving in the mid-end segment, where Hengdeli is more heavily exposed. We believe that Hengdeli's results will begin to improve when demand in China recovers more broadly, which we expect to occur within the next few years as a result of the significant wealth creation still occurring in China today.
Portfolio Activity
We added a new Japanese security to the Fund this quarter, Hakuhodo DY Holdings, Japan's second-largest advertising agency. Hakuhodo has offices in more than 15 countries, including approximately 14% of the market share of Japan. It consists of three advertising businesses that offer a wide range of services to client advertisers and media companies. During the quarter, we sold Square Enix Holdings, Takata, and NORMA Group.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 21% of our holdings in Asia, 55% in Europe and 11% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North America, Latin America and the Middle East.
Because we continue to believe that some global currencies are overvalued, we maintained hedge positions on four currency exposures. At the recent quarter end, we had hedged 26% of the Fund's Australian dollar, 42% of the Norwegian krone, 36% of the Swiss franc and 16% of the Swedish krona exposures.
Our team continues to focus on finding attractive, undervalued international companies with management teams dedicated to building shareholder value. We thank you for your support.

The Oakmark Funds
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 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 six-month period ended March 31, 2014.
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.
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 provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, lacking any reported sale price on the valuation date, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations or, if the mean is not available, at the most recent bid quotation.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.
Fair value measurement
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are prioritized into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
oakmark.com 51
The Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At March 31, 2014 there were no transfers between levels.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2014 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Offsetting assets and liabilities
During the current reporting period, the Funds adopted the new disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and disclose instruments and transactions subject to master netting or similar agreements. This disclosure is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.
At period end, certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions, in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the table included in the Forward foreign currency contracts section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.
At period end, each of the Funds held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.
The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral as of period end, if any, are included in the Securities lending section of Note 1 to Financial Statements. The value of the related collateral for each applicable Fund exceeded the value of the securities on loan at period end.
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. 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 March 31, 2014 Oakmark had an open short sale.
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.

Committed line of credit
The Trust has an unsecured committed line of credit (the "Facility") with 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 0.08% 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 period ended March 31, 2014.
Expense offset arrangement
State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2014 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 March 31, 2014 International and Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $322,612,323, and $23,309,867 respectively, and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $350,759,466 and $24,479,766 respectively.
Restricted securities
The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued in good faith according to the securities valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.

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, 2013 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Fund | | Advisory Fees | |
Oakmark | | 1.00% up to $2 billion; 0.90% on the next $1 billion; 0.80% on the next $2 billion; 0.75% on the next $2.5 billion; 0.675% on the next $2.5 billion; 0.625% on the next $2.5 billion; and 0.620% over $12.5 billion | |

The Adviser is contractually obligated through January 31, 2015 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.
Fund | | Class I | | Class II | |
Oakmark | | | 1.50 | % | | | 1.75 | % | |
Select | | | 1.50 | | | | 1.75 | | |
Equity and Income | | | 1.00 | | | | 1.25 | | |

Int'l Small Cap | | | 2.00 | | | | 2.25 | | |
The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2018, amounts reimbursed to that Fund Class, except to the extent that the Fund Class already has paid such recoupment to the Adviser or such recoupment would cause the annual ordinary operating expenses of a Fund Class for that fiscal year to exceed the applicable limit stated above. As of March 31, 2014 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 that calls for each Fund to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediary (which generally are a percentage of value of the shares held) not exceeding the lesser of 75% of the fees charged by the intermediary or what the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer's shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediary. The Adviser pays the remainder of the fees. The fees incurred by the Funds are reflected as other shareholder servicing fees in the Statements of Operations.
The Independent Trustees of the Trust may participate in the Trust's Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of a participant's deferral account is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more of the Funds or a money market fund as specified by the participant. Benefits would be payable after a stated number of years or retirement from the Board of Trustees. The accrued obligations of the Funds

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.

The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding The Board of Trustees' October 2013 Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts As Approved April 16, 2014
Each year, the Board of Trustees of the Oakmark Funds (the "Board"), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") to determine whether to continue each Fund's investment advisory agreement (each an "Agreement") with the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). The Board requests and receives from the Adviser a broad range of materials and information that are relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Agreements, both throughout the year and especially in connection with its annual review of the Agreements. In addition, the Board retains an independent data provider to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and for comparable funds.
The Board's committee on contracts (the "Committee") leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised entirely of trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. During the last year, the Committee and the Board met numerous times to consider the Agreements. At each of those meetings, the Committee and the Board were advised by, and met in executive session with, their experienced independent legal counsel.
In connection with their consideration of each Agreement, the Committee and the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund, as well as performance information for comparable funds, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund, as well as fee and expense information for comparable funds and separate accounts managed by the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels share with Fund investors economies of scale and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund.
At a meeting held on October 16, 2013, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, upon recommendation of the Committee, determined that the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the continuation of the Agreements through October 31, 2014. Below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board's conclusions regarding various factors. In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed the information differently.
1. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge the Board gained during meetings with the Adviser throughout the year. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; the consistency of its investment approach; the background and experience of the Adviser's investment personnel responsible for managing the Funds; the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds; the Adviser's comprehensive compliance program; and the favorable recognition of the Adviser and the Funds in the media and in industry publications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds, including the time that investment personnel devoted to each Fund and the investment results produced as a result of the Adviser's in-house research. The Board also noted the significant personal investments that the Adviser's personnel have made in the Funds, which serve to further align the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the Fund's Agreement and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its Agreement with the Adviser.
2. Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, including how the Fund performed compared to the performance of a group of comparable funds (the Fund's "Performance Universe") selected by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). Among the performance periods considered by the Board were those ended on April 30, 2013. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.
Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during the three-, five- and ten-year periods, but underperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median for the one-year period.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. Noting that its focus continues to be on longer-term performance, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during the ten-year period, although it underperformed the Universe Median during the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Board also took into account the Adviser's assertion that the Fund's more conservative equity and bond positioning relative to its benchmark index muted performance over the past 24 months.
Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.
Oakmark Global Select Fund. Noting that the Fund commenced operations in October 2006, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.
72 THE OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during all periods presented.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. Noting that its focus continues to be on longer-term performance, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the annualized returns of its Universe Median during the five- and ten-year periods, though it underperformed the Universe Median during the one- and three-year periods.
In addition to comparing each Fund's performance to that of its Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance compared to that of its benchmark and other comparative data provided by Lipper, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk. After considering all of this information, the Board concluded that the Adviser was delivering performance for each Fund that was consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Fund, and that the Fund and its shareholders were benefiting from the Adviser's investment management of the Fund
3. Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser
Using information provided by Lipper, the Board evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the advisory fee for other mutual funds comparable in size, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group"), and each Fund's expense ratio compared to that of the Expense Group.
The Board also reviewed the Adviser's advisory fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and subadvised funds (for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). The Board noted the Adviser's explanation that, although in most instances, the fees paid by those other clients were lower than the fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's significantly greater level of responsibilities and broader scope of services regarding the Funds, and the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds.
The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees and the relationship of such compensation to the Adviser's ability to attract and retain quality personnel. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as an Investment Management Industry Profitability Analysis prepared by Lipper. The Board examined the pre-tax profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, as presented in the profitability analyses, as well as the financial condition of the Adviser.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and expense ratio of each Fund is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board, in its consideration of expenses, took into account its review of the Fund's performance. The Board also noted that, in response to Board negotiations with the Adviser, the Adviser agreed to an additional breakpoint for the Oakmark Fund to reduce the Adviser's fees on assets over $12.5 billion to 0.62% of such assets.
Oakmark Select Fund and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board, in its consideration of expenses, also took into account its review of each Fund's performance.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund and Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate is higher than the median of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that each Fund's total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, is lower than the median of each Fund's Expense Group.
Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's management fee is equal to the median of the Fund's Expense Group and the total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, is lower than the median of the Fund's Expense Group. The Board also noted that, in response to Board negotiations with the Adviser, the Adviser agreed to an additional breakpoint for the Oakmark International Fund to reduce the Adviser's fees on assets over $23 billion to 0.795% of such assets.
After its review of all the matters addressed, including those outlined above, the Board concluded that the management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided, and that the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services performed.
4. Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies
The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee structure provides for a sharing with shareholders of potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Agreement, which includes breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as a Fund's assets increase. The Board also considered that it and the Adviser had agreed to additional breakpoints in the Agreements for Oakmark Fund and Oakmark International Fund. The Board concluded that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser.

5. Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds
The Board also considered other benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as the Funds' distributor, without compensation, pursuant to a written agreement the Board evaluates annually.
The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser and considered the Adviser's assertion that its use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the continuation of each Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. On October 16, 2013, the Board continued each Agreement.
