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
Kristi L. Rowsell
President of Oakmark Funds
President of Harris Associates
We are pleased to announce that the Oakmark Funds have initiated the registration process to add two new share classes to our lineup: an Advisor share class and an Institutional share class. The Advisor and Institutional share classes will have higher investment minimums than our current share classes and are expected to have lower expense ratios. As part of the launch of these new share classes, our Class I will be renamed Investor class and our Class II will be renamed Service class. The features of our Investor and Service classes will be unchanged from today. The launch of the new share classes and the Class I and Class II name changes are expected to occur on November 30, 2016.
What are the new share classes?
We are adding two new share classes that will allow shareholders more flexibility in how they incur and pay fees for financial advice and shareholder services. A newly created Advisor share class, as its name suggests, will be primarily available through financial advisors and on the major intermediary platforms. We expect the Advisor share class to have a lower expense structure than our current share classes. Shareholders registered directly with the Oakmark Funds with balances of $100,000 or more in a single Fund will be eligible to purchase the Advisor shares of that Fund.
The newly created Institutional share class is targeted to retirement plans and large institutions seeking a minimal amount of shareholder services. We expect the Institutional share class to have an even lower expense structure than the Advisor share class. Shareholders registered directly with the Oakmark Funds with balances of $1,000,000 or more in a single Fund will be eligible to purchase the Institutional shares of that Fund.
Additional details may be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar database1.
How do I buy the new share classes?
Subject to satisfying the eligibility requirement of a class, shareholders will be able to exchange their shares within
the same Fund from one class to another without recognizing taxable gains or losses on the exchange. We plan to notify certain qualifying shareholders registered directly with the Funds about their eligibility status and, shortly thereafter, convert their Class I (Investor) shares to the class for which they are newly eligible.
We believe that adding share classes with a range of shareholder service fees helps provide shareholders with better options to meet their investment needs. Please contact us directly at 1-800-OAKMARK or at Oakmark.com with any questions you may have on how our new share classes may be beneficial to you.
Early year-end distribution
In order to facilitate the launch of our new share classes, the Oakmark Funds will pay their annual distributions in the last week of November. We will post distribution estimates to our Oakmark.com site in mid-November to assist in your year-end tax planning.
We hope that you will find our new share classes beneficial in meeting your financial needs. We appreciate your confidence and partnership, and remain committed to improving your Oakmark experience.

We may not sell shares of the Advisor class or Institutional class until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state in which the offer or sale is not permitted.

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, 2016 to September 30, 2016, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at September 30, 2016, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the Actual Expenses Paid During Period column shown below.
Shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, held 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. 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 transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

oaklx@oakmark.com
At Oakmark, we are long-term investors. We attempt to identify growing businesses that are managed to benefit their shareholders. We will purchase stock in those businesses only when priced substantially below our estimate of intrinsic value. After purchase, we patiently wait for the gap between stock price and intrinsic value to close.
"The years say what the days cannot tell."
-Ancient Chinese proverb
The calendar has flipped to October, and again this year, the city of Chicago is focused on its Cubs. After just concluding a 103-win, best-in-the-MLB season, the Cubs enter the playoffs as the World Series favorite. The prospect of a Cubs' World Series win is especially exciting because it hasn't happened since 1908. Into this highly charged atmosphere, along came Joe Sheehan, a writer for Sports Illustrated, who unwelcomingly inserted some math into the discussion. To win a World Series, a team must win a five-game series followed by two seven-game series. If all the teams were equal, each would have a one-in-eight chance of winning. Joe did some homework and found that teams that won over 100 games in the regular season were crowned World Series champions only 23% of the time. That means 77% of the time they weren't. So despite starting the playoffs as the overwhelming favorite, the likelihood is that the Cubs will not win the World Series this year. As Joe says, "The differences that separate great teams from good ones in baseball show over 162 games; over five or seven, those differences vanish." Nobody likes the dream killer!
Those of you who are regular readers of Oakmark reports know that we aren't here to write about sports, but as sports fans, we often see analogies that provide useful ways to think about investing. It is with that in mind that I was considering how short the average investor's time frame has become—effectively investing for just the World Series rather than the longer regular season. The financial media, broadcasting 24/7, bombards investors with information and encourages almost constant action. In that environment it is rare to take time to look at the forest instead of each tree. But right now we have the perfect reason to step back and take such an opportunity.
This year marks the 25th anniversary for Oakmark. Our flagship fund started on August 5, 1991. In some ways, 1991 seems a world away: Sixty Minutes was the most watched TV show, newspapers were viewed as one of the safest and most predictable businesses, AOL was just beginning to connect early adopters to the Internet using landlines, and the Minnesota Twins (MLB's worst team in 2016) won the World Series. In other ways—such as Clinton running for President—it seems like just yesterday. In Chicago in 1991, a group of young investment professionals, eager to invest their own capital side-by-side with their clients, convinced the decision makers at Harris Associates to launch a mutual fund using our long-term value approach, and thus Oakmark was born.
As anniversaries are a time for reflection, let's look at some of the things we can learn from a 25-year "season" rather than focusing on just the past quarter or year. Warren Buffett once referred to compound interest as the 8th Wonder of the World, and 25 years is enough time to see that "wonder" working.
Anyone who invested in the S&P 5002 just over 25 years ago, when we started Oakmark, would now have over nine times their original investment. That's what makes market timing almost impossible and why we don't even attempt it at Oakmark. The long-term record for investing in equities is so good that it is very difficult to add value by trying to identify the brief periods when stock market returns are unattractive.
In case you are tempted to think the past 25 years was a positive "perfect storm" for equity prices (the real Perfect Storm with 100 foot waves off the East Coast did occur in 1991), let's remember, chronologically, some of the key events that market-timers cited as reasons to not invest in stocks:
Operation Desert Storm, global recession, Hillarycare, Fed increasing rates, Oklahoma City bombing, U.S. government shutdown, Mad Cow disease, Asian Flu, Clinton impeachment, Y2K, tech bubble, 9/11, Afghan War, recession, Iraq War, SARS, Hurricane Katrina, subprime mortgage crisis, Lehman Brothers, Obamacare, real estate collapse, Global Financial Crisis, Greek bailout, S&P downgrading U.S. debt, oil price collapse, Ebola, Ukraine, Syrian migrant crisis, and Brexit—just to name a few.
Yes, that all happened, and the market still went up more than ninefold. So, next time someone tells you that stocks can't possibly go up because the Fed has to raise interest rates or because Congress is doing something stupid or because we have the worst presidential candidates ever, remember the very high hurdle that exists for altering your long-term asset allocation based on current events.
The second reflection that is equally impressive is the value that was added by consistent application of our disciplined investment approach. The quote at the top of the page, which has led off these commentaries for many years, describes how we invest. We search for fundamental value, making the most of opportunities created by short-term investors, and we very patiently wait for other investors to see the value that we thought was hidden. It is an approach that has led to many disappointing quarters and more disappointing years than we would have liked. But during those times, our faith in the process was unwavering. An investor who purchased Oakmark at its inception 25 years ago would today have over 19 times their original investment or more than twice the capital they would have accumulated by investing in the S&P index.
That's an uncomfortable fact for those who argue that active management can't add value. But just like our investment approach requires the discipline to stay true during periods when the market tells us it "isn't working," it is equally important for the shareholders in our funds to exhibit that same level of patience and discipline. Despite Oakmark's track record, those investors who bought the Fund after periods of strong performance and sold after periods of poor performance did not

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
generally have a profitable experience. As I highlighted in last quarter's commentary, a full one-third of the five-year holding periods for Oakmark showed returns below the S&P despite a 25-year return that doubled it. Fund investors need to have a reason for investing that goes beyond short-term performance, which is one of the reasons we've put so much effort into shareholder communication that focuses on our investment philosophy.
The third and final reflection I'd like to highlight is the value of concentrating assets into what we consider to be our best investments. As we recognize the 25th anniversary for the Oakmark Fund, we have also reached the 20-year milestone for Oakmark Select. The two Funds invest with the same philosophy and are supported by the same team of investment analysts. The main difference is that Oakmark is much more diversified than Oakmark Select. While the Oakmark Fund typically diversifies its assets across 50 or more stocks, Oakmark Select generally holds only 20. It is almost certain that a 20-stock portfolio will be much more volatile than a 50-stock portfolio, but our expectation is that over time that risk will be rewarded with a higher return. Since the inception of Oakmark Select on November 1, 1996, an Oakmark Fund investment has grown over five times while Oakmark Select has achieved a tenfold increase. Just as Oakmark endured periods when the comparison to the S&P was unfavorable, the results of concentrating in our highest conviction investments has also been a bumpy ride, but one with an equally good outcome.
As we look to the next 25 years, we clearly can't promise that the S&P will again increase ninefold. With interest rates as low as they are now, I'd say it's in fact quite unlikely the S&P replicates that performance. But I'd also say that over that much time, the S&P is likely to continue its historical pattern of meaningfully outperforming both bonds and cash. We also can't promise that Oakmark will double the return of the S&P. Just as there is no guarantee that the MLB-leading Cubs will break the curse this year, there is no guarantee that a sound investment decision will produce great returns. There is always uncertainty as to the output of any investment process. Though I can't promise great returns, I can promise that the important inputs that have worked throughout Oakmark's history will remain unchanged:
-We will continue to apply a high level of effort and talent to this challenge.
-We will continue to invest with a goal of maximizing long-term, after-tax returns.
-We will continue our attempts to make investment writing both entertaining and educational.
-We will continue to invest side-by-side with you in each of our Funds.
Thank you to our shareholders who, by entrusting us with the investment of your hard-earned dollars, have allowed us to celebrate 25 years of Oakmark, 20 years of Oakmark Select and 10 years for our newest Fund, Oakmark Global Select. We are grateful and humbled by the confidence you have expressed in us and endeavor to continue doing the best we can to reward your decision.

This quarter marks the 25th anniversary of the Oakmark Fund, and we are proud of our long-term results and pleased to mark the occasion with an all-time high adjusted NAV at quarter end. As you can see from the Growth of a $10,000 Investment chart, a $10,000 investment in the Oakmark Fund in August 1991 has appreciated to $194,000 as of the end of this quarter, which is more than twice the appreciation level of the S&P 5002 over the same time period. This represents an average annual total return of 13% for the Oakmark Fund and 9% for the S&P 500.
We're investing the same way today as we did 25 years ago. The Oakmark Fund's first quarterly report in 1991 mentioned the following principles: invest in companies selling below long-term intrinsic value, take advantage of irrational and short-term investor thinking, and invest with companies that have owner-oriented management teams. We have a great team of investment analysts who use these principles to find attractive investment opportunities for the Oakmark portfolio. It is an honor to manage the Oakmark Fund, and we want to thank you for your support and confidence. We look forward to continuing this tradition for the next 25 years and beyond.
The Oakmark Fund increased 9% during the recent quarter, bringing the increase to 14% for the fiscal year ended September 30. The S&P 500 increased 4% for the quarter and increased 15% for the fiscal year. This was a very good quarter for the Oakmark Fund, with strong performance from our highest weighted sectors. For some time we have believed that businesses with a narrower range of outcomes, or stable businesses, have been bid-up as bond substitutes, while businesses with a more cyclical profile have fallen to more attractive valuation levels. In the third quarter, that positioning paid off for the Oakmark Fund. For the quarter, Information Technology and Financials were our highest contributing sectors, and Health Care and Consumer Staples, two of our lowest weighted areas, were our weakest performers.
For the full fiscal year, Information Technology and Industrials were our best performers, and Consumer Staples and Health Care were our weakest. Our highest contributing securities for the year were Apache and Texas Instruments, and our worst performers were American Express and Liberty Interactive QVC. For the recent quarter, Bank of America and Qualcomm were our best contributors, and our weakest were Liberty Interactive QVC and General Electric Company. We added one new name to the portfolio during the quarter (see below), and we eliminated our positions in LinkedIn and Monsanto after they received acquisition offers.
MGM Resorts International (MGM-$26)
We believe there are many ways to achieve strong returns from an investment in MGM Resorts International. MGM is a recovery story, driven by improving supply and demand in Las Vegas where MGM has significant exposure. The company's Profit
Growth Plan, which is a cost-cutting and revenue enhancement program, should lead to higher profitability and allow for significant operating leverage once sales recover. From a longer term perspective, we believe MGM will benefit from its increasing geographic diversity, strong property development pipeline and improving capital structure. We think that valuing MGM on a property-by-property basis using cash flow multiples from recent transactions produces a much higher value than the current stock price indicates.

The Oakmark Select Fund returned 8% for the quarter, ahead of the S&P 500's2 4% return. This brings the Fund's return for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 to 12%, compared to 15% for the S&P 500.
During the quarter, our largest contributors to performance included Alphabet (+12%), Bank of America (+18%), MasterCard (+16%), and AIG (+13%). From a sector standpoint, our stock selection in Energy, as well as our selection and allocation to Financials, had the most positive impact. We also benefitted by what we didn't own in the quarter. For some time now, we have had trouble finding value in the Consumer Staples, Utilities and Telecommunications sectors. In these sectors, we have found that share prices appear to be valued more closely to bonds, which we believe to be unattractive at current yields. Not owning these three sectors added over 1% to our performance relative to the S&P 500.
Our largest quarterly detractor was Liberty Interactive QVC (-21%). After a long period of rather stable but low single-digit growth, the company announced that sales fell by a mid-to-upper single digit amount in June, and these trends continued through July. The management team cited numerous company-specific reasons for the decline and is taking action accordingly. We continue to hold our position because we believe the company's underlying value has only been modestly affected, relative to the decline in its share price. Only three other investments showed declines during the quarter: General Electric, Oracle and FNF Group.
For the fiscal year, our largest contributors were LinkedIn (+66%), Apache (+67%), and Alphabet (+28%). Our largest detractors were Liberty Interactive QVC (-24%), Citigroup (-4%), and CBRE Group (-13%).
Recall that earlier in 2016, we swapped most of our Chesapeake stock at approximately $4 per share for the company's bonds at $48 per $100 par value, believing the bonds offered similar upside and less downside while capturing a tax loss. Last quarter we reported that the bonds had rallied to $85 per $100 par value, and the stock was trading at $4.28. Given the relative performance of the bonds to the stock and our comfort with the improved liquidity position of the company, we elected to swap back into the stock. Today our position in Chesapeake is exclusively in the form of equity.
We sold our remaining shares of LinkedIn and established a new position in casino operator MGM Resorts International (MGM). We believe the recovery potential in the Las Vegas market and MGM's profit improvement plan are both underappreciated at the current value. Meanwhile, management has been busily working to close the price-value gap on the shares by monetizing latent real estate value and improving the balance sheet. In the short time we've owned MGM, both the
fundamentals and management actions have been consistent with our thesis.
Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

Quarter and Fiscal Year Review
After the market's Brexit-related turbulence at the end of the June quarter, comparative calm marked the September quarter. At one point the stock market posted an unusually long streak of days without a 1% price change in the averages. The fact that this torpidity occurred during a time of worldwide political upheaval made it seem even odder.
The Equity and Income Fund found this investing environment to be favorable as it gained 5% in the quarter. This compares to 3% for the Lipper Balanced Funds Index7, the Fund's performance benchmark. For the nine months of the calendar year, the Fund returned 6%, compared to 6% for the Lipper. And for the twelve months ended September 30 (the Fund's fiscal year), Equity and Income earned 7%, which compares to 10% for the Lipper Balanced Funds Index. The annualized compound rate of return since inception in 1995 is 10% while the corresponding return for the Lipper Index is 7%.
Bank of America, General Motors, Foot Locker, TD Ameritrade and Principal Financial Group provided the largest contribution to portfolio return in the quarter. CVS Health led the largest detractors list, apparently suffering collateral damage from the congressional hearings on pharmaceutical industry price increases. Other detractors included Kate Spade, HSN, Oracle and Carters. The largest contributors for the calendar year to date were Glencore, Dover, Oracle, UnitedHealth Group and Union Pacific. Bank of America, BorgWarner, CVS Health, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs were the leading detractors for the nine months. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year, the largest contributors were Dover, Glencore, Philip Morris International, Oracle and UnitedHealth Group. The stocks that detracted most were BorgWarner, HSN, Bank of America, Oceaneering International (sold) and CVS Health.
Is Value Investing Impaired?
As we all know, 2008 was the start of the Great Recession and a brutal year in the stock market. Less well known is the fact that 2008 also witnessed a significant change in stock market internal dynamics. Before 2008, measures of return for value stocks relative to growth stocks had favored value when measured over long time periods. Short-term, counter-trend moves were frequent, and some were extreme, such as the 1997-99 Internet boom. However, over the very long term, value dominated. Since 2008, though, growth stock indexes have persistently prevailed over value in terms of relative performance.
Many explanations have been given to explain this change in market dynamics, but as is usually the case, the simplest answer appears to be the best. In a period of slow or negative economic growth, those companies that can demonstrate meaningful growth in revenues and profits will generally outperform in the market regardless of valuation. Calendar year 2015 demonstrated this phenomenon to an extreme: the so-called FANG
stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google, aka Alphabet) provided a majority of the S&P 500's investment return. To have such a small number of equities dominate investment return to this degree was an unprecedented outcome.
So as fundamental value investors, what is to be done in such an investing environment? Simply put, we continue as before, knowing that over time price and value will come together often enough to be the basis of an effective investing strategy. We recently read a quote from a portfolio manager in a Financial Times article that stated "You have to believe [when] getting out of bed that you have a chance of outperforming, otherwise you wouldn't bother." This is not the way that we think about it. We would instead say that we believe when we come to work each day, we have the possibility of finding and investing in the next great value opportunity for our clients, and it is that search that energizes us. Value investing is unlike farming, however, in that we do not know when our crops will be ripe for harvesting. This means that periods of relative underperformance are inevitable, but the economic logic underpinning fundamental value investing should ensure satisfactory absolute returns when measured over a suitable time horizon. An unusual economy has favored growth for quite some time, but we believe fundamental value investing itself is not impaired.
Transaction Activity
We initiated two new positions in the September quarter while exiting one. Our one sale was Goldman Sachs, which we sold partly for tax reasons and partly to rebalance the portfolio, which had become somewhat heavy with financial industry issues. We believe Goldman Sachs is a great company with many desirable attributes, but we determined that the portfolio's other financial company investments were more attractive at this time.
Alphabetically, our first new purchase was HCA Holdings, the largest operator of for-profit hospitals and related health care services in the U.S. The company benefits from scale and size advantages, an attractive geographic footprint in higher growth markets, best-in-class management and governance, and an equity-friendly approach to capital allocation. We expect HCA to grow operating income in the mid-single digits and EPS in the low double-digits over time. The company could also benefit from increased adoption of Medicaid expansion and/or increased enrollment on public exchanges. Uncertainty about health care reform and a rotation away from levered companies have caused HCA's share price to sell below our estimate of intrinsic value, offering what we believe is an attractive entry point.
Our second new purchase, MGM Resorts International, offers several paths to being a successful investment. First, MGM Resorts is in the early stage of recovery from an industry downturn. Activity on the Las Vegas strip is strengthening, and this

should enable MGM to benefit from operating leverage in its significant Las Vegas assets. Augmenting this is the company's Profit Growth Plan, a cost-cutting and revenue-enhancement program that we believe will add substantial profitability. To our surprise, many investors have not yet fully incorporated this plan and its implications in their forecasts. Longer term, the investing story has a transformational element as well, due to the company's geographically diverse and multifaceted development pipeline, its improving capital structure, and the secular trends in Las Vegas. We believe that the stock is not getting enough credit for these and other value creators, so we view it as an attractive opportunity.
The combined effect of our transaction activity and market price movements resulted in a small increase in the portfolio's equity allocation. The Fund's fixed income allocation experienced a significant number of maturities and calls in the quarter causing that allocation to fall and the cash reserve position to rise. We continue to seek out fixed income issues that will provide income and diversification benefits without too much sensitivity to an increase in interest rates. To that end, we have kept the portfolio's fixed income duration relatively short.
As always, we thank you for entrusting us with your assets. Please feel welcome to send us your comments or questions.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return includes change in share prices and, in each case, includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. The investment return and principal value vary so that an investor's shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost.

An Atypical September Quarter
The third quarter was full of events with negative market-moving potential (e.g., the coup attempt in Turkey, numerous incidents of terrorism, Syria's agony, the U.S. election campaign), and given the stock market's seasonal tendency to decline in the quarter, investors expected the period to be challenging. But as is so often the case, the market surprised, this time to the upside. Regular readers will recall that the previous quarter ended shortly after the Brexit vote shook the stock market's equilibrium. As we noted three months ago, the Brexit vote itself was only the beginning of a process that could take up to two years once put into motion. To date, we believe the vote has done little discernible harm to the U.K.'s economy, and this has led investors to conclude that Brexit is just one more challenge with which to cope, rather than an existential threat to equity market and economic stability.
The U.S. presidential election campaign continues to bedevil many investors, or at least that is what our own investors tell us. But this was hardly obvious in market activity in the quarter as the U.S. stock market was sedate for most of the period. Given the market's equanimity, we conclude that investors forecast more divided government for the next four years in the U.S. An unexpected election outcome could have the potential to produce volatility, however.
In September, market volatility increased because of concerns about Deutsche Bank's financial strength. The U.S. Department of Justice preliminarily demanded $14 billion to settle its civil suit against the bank for its part in issuing risky mortgage-backed securities during the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis. Rumors spread that Deutsche Bank was experiencing customer defections and deposit outflows as investors fretted over the effects of such a large settlement on the bank's financial condition. As we write this letter, we do not know how this situation will play out, but we are convinced that Deutsche Bank is not in the same perilous circumstance as Bear Stearns or Lehman Brothers in 2008. Resolving this situation may prove to be expensive to Deutsche Bank's shareholders, but we do not expect long-term, systemic financial disruption.
Quarter Review
Oakmark Global gained 9% in the quarter, which compares to 5% for the MSCI World Index9 and 6% for the Lipper Global Funds Index10. For the calendar nine months, the Fund lost 3%, compared to a return of 6% for the MSCI World Index and 6% for the Lipper Global Funds Index. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund earned 3%, which compares to 11% for the MSCI World Index and 11% for the Lipper Global Funds Index.
For the quarter the countries that contributed most to return were the U.S., Switzerland and Japan, while Australia and Mexico detracted from return. Credit Suisse (Switzerland),
LafargeHolcim (Switzerland), Bank of America (U.S.), Daimler (Germany) and Toyota Motor (Japan) were the largest contributors to return while Tenet Healthcare (U.S.), Oracle (U.S.), Interpublic Group (U.S.), Incitec Pivot (Australia) and USG (U.S.) detracted most.
Over the calendar nine months, the U.S., the U.K. and South Korea were the countries that contributed most to return while Switzerland, Australia and France were the largest detractors. The companies whose stocks contributed most were LinkedIn (U.S.—sold), Itron (U.S.), Union Pacific (U.S.), Samsung Electronics (South Korea) and LafargeHolcim. The largest detractors from return were Credit Suisse, Incitec Pivot, BNP Paribas (France—sold), Julius Baer (Switzerland) and Tenet Healthcare.
For the Fund's fiscal year, the U.S., China and South Korea contributed most to return while Switzerland, France and Australia were the largest detractors. Baidu (China) was the largest contributor, followed by Samsung Electronics, LinkedIn, Alphabet (U.S.) and Itron. Credit Suisse, Tenet Healthcare, BNP Paribas, Incitec Pivot and Chesapeake Energy (U.S.—sold) detracted most from return for the twelve months.
We made no fundamental or strategic changes to the portfolio in the quarter. Rather, our trading was tactically oriented to improve the portfolio and its tax efficiency. We sold specific higher cost blocks of several holdings while taking advantage of short-term volatility to add to favored holdings at attractive prices. We also kept the allocation split between U.S. and international holdings steady, although the U.S. weight grew modestly because of superior investment return.
Robert A. Taylor
This report marks the retirement of Rob Taylor as the long-time co-manager of this Fund. Rob joined Harris Associates in 1994 and quickly distinguished himself as an analyst of international equities. He took on portfolio management responsibilities in 2003 and became co-manager of the Global Fund in 2005. Rob has traveled the world seeking out the best investment opportunities for our clients, and his pithy commentary has often graced these quarterly letters.
For many years, Rob served as research director for the firm's international team. In that role Rob worked with David Herro and others to build out the deep pool of talented international investors that populate Harris Associates today. Rob's own abilities will be sorely missed, but his legacy, in part, is present in those who benefited from his mentoring. Rob, speaking for the shareholders and ourselves, we extend to you our deepest gratitude for all that you have accomplished at Harris Associates and specifically for the Oakmark Global Fund.
Currency Hedges

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 10% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, underperforming the MSCI World Index9, which returned 11% for the same period. For the most recent quarter, the Fund returned 10%, outperforming the MSCI World Index, which returned 5%. The Fund has performed well versus the MSCI World Index since inception, returning on average 7% versus 4% for the benchmark.
The largest contributor to performance for the fiscal year was Apache, a global oil and gas exploration company, which returned 66%. Oil prices have been volatile over the past year, but have rebounded in 2016 thus far. Apache has specifically benefitted from solid quarterly results that have demonstrated improved capital efficiency, including a 45% decline in North American well costs compared to 2014 levels. The company also announced the discovery of a new resource play in the Permian Basin called "Alpine High." Initial results indicate that Apache has discovered a high quality resource at a low cost. This increased our estimate of intrinsic value and also increased our confidence in management. In our view, Apache has the balance sheet and asset quality to survive continued volatility in oil and gas prices, and we like how the management team is preserving and growing per share value during the commodity price downturn.
LafargeHolcim, the largest cement maker in the world, was the largest contributor to performance for the quarter, returning 30%. Shares reacted positively to news that LafargeHolcim agreed to sell Lafarge India for approximately $1.4B with proceeds going to pay down debt. We are impressed with the progress management has made on defining and implementing true synergies following the merger. Additionally, second quarter results exceeded expectations and illustrated Europe's improving pricing environment. Management reaffirmed its 2016 outlook as well as its commitment to targets set for 2018.
Credit Suisse, a Swiss financial services group, was the largest detractor from performance for the fiscal year. Credit Suisse's share price has been weak over the past year for multiple reasons. The company's investment banking results have struggled, although we recognize the underperformance is partially due to restructuring activity and we expect performance to strengthen once restructuring is complete. One-off expenses related to litigation, pension true-up charges and write-downs on certain credit assets also hurt performance. Additionally, the U.K.'s decision to leave the European Union negatively impacted the share price. Credit Suisse's management has responded to these challenges with a series of restructuring measures. Its management has made progress expanding its wealth management franchise, which we believe is a good move since that business is fee based, requires little capital and has very good secular growth trends. Additionally, Credit Suisse has reduced its exposure to the global markets business, which has enabled it to de-risk its balance sheet and operate with a more efficient cost
structure. Credit Suisse's management has confirmed the restructuring of its global markets business is nearing completion and should improve profitability over the coming quarters. Credit Suisse's common equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.8%, above the 10% minimum requirement, should increase even more on the back of higher consolidated profitability.
General Electric (GE), a global producer of industrial, aviation and medical goods, was the biggest detractor for the quarter. While GE has benefited from improved margins and capital allocation, shares were weak during the quarter due to concerns over the company's 2016 guidance. After producing organic growth of 1% in the first half, the company forecasts full-year organic growth between 2-4%. GE expects its Power division will drive this growth, with planned turbine shipments nearly double what they were in the first half of the year. The market appears to believe these forecasts are aggressive and expects GE management to reduce guidance when it next reports earnings. The timing of turbine shipments is essentially irrelevant to the value of the company, and our long-term investment thesis remains entirely intact.
We did not add or remove any names from the Fund during the quarter. Geographically, 47% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of quarter end while approximately 45% were allocated to equities in Europe, 4% in Japan and 4% in South Korea.
We continue to believe some currencies are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. We maintained our defensive currency hedges and ended the quarter with approximately 25% of the Swiss franc exposure hedged.
We thank you for your continued support.

The Oakmark International Fund returned 7% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, nearly matching the MSCI World ex U.S. Index11, which returned just over 7%. For the most recent quarter, the Fund outperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, returning 13% versus 6%. Additionally, the Fund has performed well versus the MSCI World ex U.S. Index since its September 1992 inception, returning an average of 9% versus 6% over the same period.
Glencore, one of the world's largest mining companies and commodities traders, was the top contributor to performance for the fiscal period and the most recent quarter. Last year, concerns about weaker-than-expected demand for copper and other industrial metals in China drove down the price of the commodity and, along with it, Glencore's share price. Investors also doubted the company's ability to service its debt. However, we believed that the market was overreacting, and we used the opportunity to buy shares at what we found to be attractive prices. In the interim, Glencore's management responded to the weakening share price by announcing an aggressive plan to reduce debt and capital expenditures as well as to sell non-core assets. In 2016, investors have reacted positively to the company's progress in deleveraging its balance sheet and the sale of its non-core assets, as well as to price increases in three of Glencore's four core commodities: zinc, coal and nickel. Our investment thesis for this company is intact, as we believe Glencore's management team is working to enhance shareholder value.
Credit Suisse, a Swiss financial services group, was the largest detractor from performance for the fiscal year. Credit Suisse's share price has been weak over the past year for multiple reasons. The company's investment banking results have struggled, although we recognize that the underperformance is partially due to restructuring activity and we expect performance to strengthen once restructuring is complete. One-off expenses related to litigation, pension true-up charges and write-downs on certain credit assets also hurt performance. Additionally, the U.K.'s decision to leave the European Union negatively impacted the share price. Credit Suisse's management has responded to these challenges with a series of restructuring measures. Its management has made progress expanding its wealth management franchise, which we believe is a good move since that business is fee based, requires little capital and has very good secular growth trends. Additionally, Credit Suisse has reduced its exposure to the global markets business, which has enabled it to de-risk its balance sheet and operate with a more efficient cost structure. Credit Suisse's management has confirmed the restructuring of its global markets business is nearing completion and should improve profitability over the coming quarters. Credit Suisse's common equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.8%, above the 10% minimum requirement, should increase even more on the back of higher consolidated profitability.
We initiated a position in Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), a U.K.-based commercial and retail bank, during the quarter after the share price plummeted on news that the U.K. had voted to leave the European Union. We believed the market had overreacted as shares of RBS fell nearly 40% in the two weeks following the announcement. We used the opportunity to purchase shares of the company at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. We believe RBS has a strong competitive position and a solid management team that has made tremendous strides in de-risking the business. The company's historical earnings have been hurt by restructuring, litigation and other non-permanent items. While RBS was the quarter's largest detractor, we expect a significant improvement in profitability and free cash flow in the quarters ahead. We also initiated a position in Olympus, the Japanese camera and endoscopes company, during the quarter. We owned Olympus in the past and most recently sold our shares in February 2016 as it approached our estimate of intrinsic value. However, by mid-August the share price had fallen over 30%, and since our investment thesis was intact, we repurchased the name into the Fund. We sold our investment in Sumitomo Mitsui Financial during the quarter.
We continue to believe some global currencies are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. We maintained our defensive currency hedges and ended the quarter with approximately 25% of the Swiss franc and 11% of the Australian dollar hedged.
We thank you for your continued confidence and support.

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 7% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index14, which appreciated 14% for the same period. For the recent quarter, the Fund returned 8%, slightly outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index, which returned 8% for the period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9% per year.
The top contributor for both the quarter and fiscal year was Konecranes, a Finnish company that specializes in the manufacturing and servicing of cranes, such as workstation cranes, industrial cranes, and cranes for shipyards and ports, as well as other lifting equipment. The company produces one out of every ten of the world's cranes, and it sells primarily to industrial companies and to harbors and shipyards around the world. In addition, Konecranes is a global leader in maintenance, inspection and repair services.
In August 2015, a merger was announced that would bring together Konecranes and Terex, the #1 and #2 players in the industrial-lifting equipment business and two of the largest players in port cranes and equipment. Terex also has a number of businesses unrelated to Konecranes. However, in May 2016, it was announced that Konecranes was instead going to acquire the Material Handling & Port Solutions (MHPS) division of Terex without acquiring the unrelated businesses. This was the desired outcome a year ago when negotiations began with Terex, but Terex's management at the time was unwilling to sell the MHPS business on its own. After news of the MHPS acquisition, Konecranes' share price rose 18%. We believe this is a very attractive transaction for Konecranes as there are significant cost synergies, and it will allow Konecranes' Service business to harvest the installed base of Terex's MHPS. Konecranes also delivered positive second quarter results in July 2016, as earnings in its Service segment and its Equipment segment exceeded market estimates. We like that the company's cost-savings program helped to improve gross margins and lower fixed costs, subsequently improving margins during the quarter. We've spoken with the new CEO several times since he joined the firm less than a year ago, including most recently in August 2016. He's demonstrated a strong attention to detail, a hands-on approach to the business, an understanding of how value is created and a clear view of where he wants to take Konecranes. We appreciate management's efforts to restructure the company and grow the Service business, which should lead to significant improvements in the earnings potential of the company.
The largest detractor for the fiscal year was Countrywide, the U.K.'s largest real estate agency group. As we discussed in our last letter, businesses that were exposed to the U.K. real estate market were the prominent detractors to Fund performance in the second quarter. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, Countrywide shares fell 30% by the close of the month. Since
then, there has been a modest decline in real estate transactions outside of London and a larger decrease in London as consumers remain reluctant to make large, life-changing decisions in such an environment. The trading atmosphere has weakened over the past three to four months and has resulted in downward revisions to Countrywide's near-term earnings estimates. However, in our view business value is not determined by what Countrywide will earn over the next 24 months, but rather the cash flow the business will generate over the next 50 years. We continue to believe the U.K.'s decision to exit the European Union has little long-term impact on the normalized levels of transactional activity in the housing market, which is more driven by population trends and household formation. We think Countrywide remains a compelling investment on a long-term basis.
One of the largest detractors for the quarter was another U.K.-based company, Regus, a global flexible workplace provider that serves more than two million customers in 2,800 locations across 900 cities in 106 countries. During the past quarter, the company released its results for the first half of 2016, which were ahead of estimates mainly due to better-than-expected benefits from reorganization. However, the company may be facing a couple of risk factors, including a recession in the U.K. that could reduce demand for office space, a correction in the U.K. real estate market and a weakening economic environment in Europe. On the positive side, the uncertainty in the marketplace could be a tailwind to flexible space providers and could help in rent negotiations, as well as in forming additional capital-light partnerships. The main reason for the decline in share price during the quarter was that Mark Dixon, the CEO and the largest shareholder of Regus, sold shares representing 4% of the company's total issued ordinary shares. Our discussions with the company indicate that Dixon wanted to increase the diversity of his assets. He will still own 27.7% of the shares of Regus, and his economic interests remain strongly aligned with shareholders. Due to its strong fundamentals and positive first half 2016 results, we continue to believe that Regus offers an attractive opportunity.
There was one new security purchased in the Fund this quarter. Hays, which is headquartered in the U.K., is a worldwide provider of permanent and temporary recruitment and human resource services, employing over 9,000 staff across 33 countries. Hays conducts its business across a wide range of industries, including accountancy and finance, construction, information technology, financial services, education and energy, and oil and gas, among others. During the quarter, the Fund sold out of Saft Groupe, Davide Campari, Kansai Paint, Premier Farnell and Prysmian.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 58% of our holdings in Europe, 22% in Asia and 12% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in North and Latin America.

We still maintain hedge positions on two of the Fund's currency exposures, and as of the quarter end, 12% of the Australian dollar and 27% of the Swiss franc exposures were hedged.
Thank you for your continued confidence.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The following are the significant accounting policies of Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark"), Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income"), Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), Oakmark Global Select Fund ("Global Select"), Oakmark International Fund ("International"), and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small Cap"), collectively referred to as the "Funds," each a series of Harris Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, organized on February 1, 1991, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. Each Fund, other than Select and Global Select, is diversified in accordance with the 1940 Act. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Class disclosure
Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. Class I Shares are offered to the general public. Class II Shares are offered to certain retirement plans such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Class II Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average net assets of Class II Shares of the Funds. This service fee is paid to a third-party administrator for performing the services associated with the administration of such retirement plans. Class I Shares do not have such an associated service fee. Global Select had no outstanding Class II shares during the year ended September 30, 2016.
Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses of the Funds not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are allocated to each class pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and other shareholder servicing fees are specific to each class.
Redemption fees
Int'l Small Cap imposes a short-term trading fee on redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less to help offset two types of costs to the Fund caused by abusive trading: portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is paid to the Fund and is 2% of the redemption value and is deducted from either the redemption proceeds or from the balance in the account. The "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") method is used to determine the holding period. The Fund may approve the waiver of redemption fees on certain types of accounts held through intermediaries, pursuant to the Fund's policies and procedures. Redemption fees collected by the Fund, if any, are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Security valuation
The Funds' share prices or net asset values ("NAVs") are calculated as of the close of regular session trading (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on any day on which the NYSE is open for trading. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges in the United States and over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price on the day of valuation, or lacking any reported sales that day, at the most recent bid quotation. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market System. Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges outside the United States are valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sales price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, or the official closing price, or are based on a pricing composite as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Each long-term debt instrument is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may use standard inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types additional inputs may be used or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Additionally, the pricing service monitors market indicators and industry and economic events, which may serve as a trigger to gather and possibly use additional market data. Each short-term debt instrument (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instrument maturing in 61 days or more from the date of valuation is valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Each short-term instrument maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities that may have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE are valued at fair value, determined by or under the direction of the pricing committee authorized by the Board of Trustees. A significant event may include the performance of U.S. markets since the close of foreign markets. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign securities in order to adjust local closing prices for information or events that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.

Fair value measurement
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are prioritized into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others)
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions of Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") 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, 2016, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2016 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Offsetting assets and liabilities
Accounting Standards Codification 210 requires entities to disclose gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and disclose instruments and transactions subject to master netting or similar agreements. This disclosure is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.
At September 30, 2016 certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions, in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the table included in the Forward foreign currency contracts section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.
At September 30, 2016 each Fund held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.
The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral as of period end, if any, are included in the Securities lending section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.
Foreign currency translations
Certain Funds invest in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates obtained by a recognized bank, dealer, or independent pricing service on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and tax reclaims recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the Statements of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts
Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates. Unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between

the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the period is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.
At September 30, 2016 Global, Global Select, International, and Int'l Small Cap held non-collateralized, forward foreign currency contracts, which are considered derivative instruments, each of whose counterparty is State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Security transactions and investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed), and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discount is accreted and premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the specific identification method.
Short sales
Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. Each Fund may sell shares of when-issued securities. Typically, a Fund sells when-issued securities when a company announces a spin-off or re-organization, and the post-spin-off or post-re-organization shares begin trading on a when-issued basis prior to the effective date of the corporate action. A sale of a when-issued security is treated as a short sale for accounting purposes. After the effective date, when shares of the new company are received, any shares sold on a when-issued basis will be delivered to the counterparty. At September 30, 2016 none of the Funds had short sales.
When-issued or delayed-delivery securities
Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. At September 30, 2016 none of the Funds held when-issued securities.
Accounting for options
When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from option transactions. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, a Fund foregoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current fair value. Options written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparties, to perform.
When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of OTC derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.
Oakmark and Select wrote put options during the year ended September 30, 2016, as follows (in thousands):

Credit facility
The Trust has a $300 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $200 million uncommitted unsecured discretionary demand line of credit (the "Facility") with State Street. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at 1.25% above the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement. To maintain the Facility, an annualized commitment fee of 0.18% on the unused committed portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the year ended September 30, 2016.
Expense offset arrangement
State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2016 none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.
Repurchase agreements
Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments whereby the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price.
The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. At September 30, 2016 all of the Funds held repurchase agreements.
Security lending
Each Fund, may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Treasury or agency securities maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by a Fund. The Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned, and would also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. There could also be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period. A Fund may not exercise proxy voting rights for a security that is on loan if it is unable to recall the security prior to the record date. The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an agreement with State Street to serve as its agent for the purpose of lending securities and maintaining the collateral account. Security lending income, if any, is included in the Statement of Operations.
At September 30, 2016 International and Int'l Small Cap had securities on loan with a value of $4,691,780 and $1,593,017, respectively, and held as collateral for the loans U.S. Treasury securities with a value of $4,939,000 and $1,606,000, respectively.
Restricted securities
Each Fund may invest in restricted securities, which generally are considered illiquid, but such illiquid securities may not comprise more than 15% of the value of a Fund's net assets at the time of investment. The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued in good faith according to the securities valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.

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, 2016 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Adviser is entitled to recoup from any Fund Class, in any fiscal year through September 30, 2020, 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, 2016 there were no amounts subject to recoupment.
The Adviser and the Funds have entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain of those services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds' transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds pay a portion of the intermediary fees pursuant to an agreement with the Adviser and the Adviser pays the remainder of the fees. The fees incurred by the Funds are reflected as other shareholder servicing fees in the Statements of Operations.
The Independent Trustees of the Trust may participate in the Trust's Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of a participant's deferral account is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more of the Funds or a money market fund as specified by the participant. Benefits would be payable after a stated number of years or retirement from the Board of Trustees. The accrued obligations of the Funds under the plan are reflected as deferred Trustee compensation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the accrued obligations for the period is included in Trustees fees in the Statements of Operations. The Trust pays the compensation of the Trustees other than those affiliated with the Adviser and all expenses incurred in connection with their services to the Trust. The Trust does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its Trustees.
The Funds reimburse the Adviser for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The CCO expenses incurred by the Funds are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations.

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, comprised of 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, 2016, 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, 2016, 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, 2016, 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 discussion of the Funds' investments and investment strategy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers' research and investment process, and portfolio characteristics) represents the Funds' investments and the views of the portfolio managers and Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser, at the time of this report, and are subject to change without notice.
All Oakmark Funds: Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
Oakmark, Oakmark Equity and Income, Oakmark Global, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: The Funds' portfolios tend to be invested in a relatively small number of stocks. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the Funds' net asset value than it would if the Funds invest in a larger number of securities. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the Funds' volatility.
Oakmark Select Fund: The stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods.
Because the Oakmark Select and Oakmark Global Select Funds are non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on the Funds' total return, and may make the Fund's returns more volatile than a more diversified fund.
Oakmark Global, Oakmark Global Select, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: Investing in foreign securities presents risks which in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.
The percentages of hedge exposure for each foreign currency are calculated by dividing the market value of all same-currency forward contracts by the market value of the underlying equity exposure to that currency.
The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund invests in medium- and lower-quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher-quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund: The stocks of smaller companies often involve more risk than the stocks of larger companies. Stocks of small companies tend to be more volatile and have a smaller public market than stocks of larger

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 members of the Registrant’s audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 3(b) of Form N-CSR: Thomas H. Hayden, Christine M. Maki, Allan J. Reich, and Peter S. Voss. 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, 2016 | | Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2015 | |
Audit Fees(1) | | $ | 243,000 | | $ | 243,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees(2) | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees(3) | | $ | 34,200 | | $ | 35,750 | |
All Other Fees(4) | | $ | 0 | | $ | 65,891 | |
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 chair to exercise that authority in the intervals between meetings; and the chair 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.
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.
(1) “Audit Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements or 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.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 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 $65,891, respectively. These non-audit services provided to the Registrant by the principal accountant related to clerical and ministerial tasks for the filing of tax reclaims in certain European Union countries.
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.

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.
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.
