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.

OAKMARK FUNDS
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, 20161 to March 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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.

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.
"Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way."
-It's Hard To Be Humble by Mac Davis, 1974
What Makes a Good Oakmark Analyst?
March is one of my favorite months. The darkness of Chicago's winter slowly lifts as each day gets a little bit warmer and longer. Baseball spring training gets into full speed, and fans from every team can believe that this is their year. College basketball's tournament, March Madness, is perhaps the most exciting tournament in sports. The games are always full of irony as invariably the slowest paced teams frustrate the run-and-gun teams. Or, as happened this year, the worst free-throw shooting team in the tournament, my Wisconsin Badgers, couldn't intentionally miss a free throw with four seconds left, instead allowing Florida to set up a game winning three-pointer. In so many games we see teams' greatest strengths become weaknesses, and weaknesses become strengths.
I also like March because it is the month I get to speak to investment students at my alma mater's Applied Securities Analysis Program and Bruce Greenwald's value investing program at Columbia. Typical topics include how I got interested in investing, my education and career path, and what makes Oakmark unique. Without fail, the aspiring investment professionals will eventually ask about the characteristics we look for when we hire analysts at Oakmark or, more generally, "What do you think makes a good investment analyst?" Perhaps the answer might give some insight into how we think at Oakmark.
When I served as director of research, I used to joke that every analyst search we conducted started with the same list of requirements: "High GPA from a good university, a major in finance or accounting, intuitive math skills, strong oral and written communication ability, three to five years' related work experience, intense competitive drive, and activities demonstrating leadership. MBA or CFA required." Yet almost every hire was somewhat outside that box. We hired some analysts with low GPAs, some with different degrees and some from second-tier colleges. We hired some with over 10 years' experience, and others with no experience at all. Some had neither an MBA nor a CFA. What we realized was that our search criteria, though representative of our typical hires, was not really defining the candidates we were looking for. Those criteria defined the candidates most investment firms are looking for, but didn't at all get to what makes Oakmark unique.
Team Player
There are three additional characteristics that we believe are necessary to succeed at Oakmark that we either don't think we can teach or don't want to teach, so we require them to be present before we hire an analyst. First is being a team player. At many investment firms, analysts have a one-on-one
relationship with portfolio managers. They develop their stock recommendations and present them to a portfolio manager who decides whether or not the stocks will be purchased. If analysts pick good stocks, they will be paid well and their careers will progress. In that setup, it doesn't really matter whether the analyst is a team player or not. Oakmark is different.
Oakmark analysts succeed by helping the team succeed. Yes, we expect them to find good stocks to purchase, but that effort is collaborative. An analyst who begins working on a new buy idea seeks input from the rest of the investment team before the idea is finalized. When the work is presented, it is the job of every investment professional at our company to attempt to find flaws that would prevent us from investing. Throughout the time we hold a stock, the analysts will challenge each other as to whether or not our sell target correctly incorporates all the new information we've seen subsequent to our purchase. When the stock is sold, it is treated as a victory for the team if it went up, and a team defeat if it did not. We all understand that we do well financially when our shareholders do well financially. That's in part because a major factor in our compensation review is how well an analyst helps improve the team's stock selection.
We know that anyone who puts their personal success over Oakmark's success will not last long at our company. So, we look for clues in resumes such as a history of playing team sports or other activities where accomplishments by a group are more important than by an individual. We know that we can't teach someone how to be a team player.
Value Investor
More than 30 years ago, Warren Buffett wrote an article that has become a value investing classic: The Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville (Fall 1984, Hermes—the Columbia Business School Magazine)1. If you haven't read it, or haven't read it recently, it is well worth the time. In that article, Buffett explained the futility of trying to convert investors to a value investing philosophy:
"It is extraordinary to me that the idea of buying dollar bills for 40c takes immediately with people or it doesn't take at all. It's like an inoculation. If it doesn't grab a person right away, I find you can talk to him for years, and show him records, and it just doesn't make any difference. They just don't seem able to grasp the concept, simple as it is...I've never seen anyone who became a gradual convert over a ten-year period to this approach. It doesn't seem to be a matter of I.Q. or academic training. It is instant recognition or it is nothing."
We 100% agree with Buffett. Everything we do at Oakmark is based on value investing. We don't know how to teach someone how to think like a value investor. You can't succeed at Oakmark without practicing value investing. Therefore, we will

Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds March 31, 2017

only hire analysts who have developed a value philosophy prior to joining our team.
Humility
There are some characteristics for successful analysts that are simple "more is better" traits. Intelligence, curiosity, communication skills—all are "more is better." Then you have the continuums where, like NCAA basketball teams, a strength carried to the extreme becomes a weakness. We want discipline, but we also want creativity. We demand patience, but don't want stubbornness. We want thoroughness, but require decisions based on incomplete information. Success requires striking an appropriate balance between these traits that sound like opposites. Being at one extreme or the other is a recipe for failure.
One of the most important continuums for us is confidence versus humility. It is especially important for a value investor to have the confidence to take a position when the vast majority of investors are on the opposing side. But without humility, one loses the ability to admit a mistake. I'm reminded of the early 1980's TV show Happy Days with the super-cool Fonzie who could never say the words "I was wrong." Fonzie would have been an awful investor.
In a book many in our research department have enjoyed, Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction, Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner state:
"The humility required for good judgment is not self-doubt—the sense that you are untalented, unintelligent, or unworthy. It is intellectual humility. It is a recognition that reality is profoundly complex, that seeing things clearly is a constant struggle, when it can be done at all, and that human judgment must therefore be riddled with mistakes."
What we are looking for in Oakmark analysts is confidence paired with the humility to remain open to evidence that shows they are wrong.
One of my investing heroes, former hedge fund pioneer Michael Steinhardt, said, "The balance between confidence and humility is best learned through extensive experience and mistakes."2 Unlike being a team player or a value investor, with time, almost every investor develops humility. But it is an expensive lesson to learn. We want analysts who developed their humility by losing money somewhere else.
I can't count the number of resumes I've seen or conversations I've had with students where they excitedly state that their personal portfolio returned "X" percent last year. And of course, "X" is always some number that is astoundingly high relative to the market or to Oakmark returns. That record is almost always accompanied by scorn for "incompetent" professional investors and the offer to teach us the secrets of their success. I smile as I mentally mark off the box "needs to be humbled by losing money." Then I wish them great success in their job search and suggest they check back with us in a few years.

The Oakmark Fund increased 4.1% in the first quarter of 2017, hitting an all-time high adjusted NAV for the third quarter in a row. The Oakmark Fund lagged behind the S&P 500's3 strong 6.1% gain. Although the S&P 500 also hit new highs during the first quarter, the momentum from January and February faded in March as concerns grew over the Trump administration's plans for healthcare reform, new infrastructure spending and tax reform. Oil commodity prices also weakened in March, which hurt the performance of our energy holdings during the quarter, but we believe supply-and-demand dynamics will lead to higher commodity price trends over the long term. The information technology sector was especially strong during the first quarter, with the NASDAQ7 Index gaining 10.1%. In addition, the information technology sector has provided the highest contribution to return of the Oakmark Fund over the past three years, with several holdings returning more than 20% annually (Apple, Microsoft and Texas Instruments).
Our best contributing sectors for the first quarter were information technology and consumer staples. Apple and Unilever were the best individual performers, up 25% and 22%, respectively, and the information technology sector as a whole returned 8%. Our lowest contributing sectors for the quarter were energy and consumer discretionary. Our worst individual securities for the quarter were Apache and Anadarko. During the quarter, we added new positions in Chesapeake Energy, Delphi Automotive and Moody's (see below). We eliminated positions in Halliburton and Sanofi. Halliburton was sold when it reached our estimate of intrinsic value, and Sanofi was sold because we believed we had higher-conviction, higher-return options within the healthcare sector.
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK-$6)
The downturn in oil and gas prices since late 2014 has created an opportunity to buy well-managed exploration and production companies at discounted values. We believe Chesapeake Energy is among the best managed oil and gas companies and is trading well below the value of its assets. The company has sizeable acreage holdings across the U.S., and its management is focused on developing these assets in a cost-effective and high-return manner. The team has successfully navigated the commodity price downturn while prioritizing the interests of equity holders, and we expect this shareholder-friendly team will continue to create value in an improving commodity price environment. With the enterprise trading at a substantial discount to our estimate of asset value, we believe Chesapeake is an attractive holding.
Delphi Automotive PLC (DLPH-$80)
Delphi is an automobile parts supplier that is well positioned for the secular trends that will continue to drive the auto industry. We believe Delphi will benefit from increasing
governmental regulations for safety, fuel efficiency and emissions control, as well as rapidly growing consumer demand for vehicle connectivity. Since Delphi's initial public offering in 2010, we find the company has generated robust sales and earnings growth along with ample free cash flow. Despite strong fundamental performance, the stock trades at a discount to the market P/E8 as well as our estimate of intrinsic value due to concerns about the U.S. auto cycle, short term uncertainty in China and an uncharacteristic downward revision to earnings guidance in 2016. We believe these headwinds will prove temporary and that the company's performance will improve.
Moody's Corp. (MCO-$112)
Moody's provides essential information to the world's capital markets. We have a long history with Moody's, dating back to the 1990s when it was a part of Dun & Bradstreet. The stock briefly traded for less than 17x 2018 earnings estimates because investors feared that rising interest rates and changing tax policies would depress debt issuance. Although such events would likely result in slower growth in the short term, we believe the company's long-term prospects remain compelling. Bonds issued with a Moody's rating pay meaningfully lower interest rates than those without a Moody's rating, and the price paid to Moody's is much lower than the interest savings the issuer realizes. We believe this will create consistent demand for bond ratings as debt markets grow. Management is cognizant of the value that the Moody's rating provides, and they are able to steadily raise prices year after year. In our view, Moody's is a great business with growing profits, run by a management team we've known and respected for years, and the shares trade at a price that is well below our estimate of intrinsic value.

For the quarter, the Oakmark Select Fund increased 3.0%, compared to a 6.1% gain for the S&P 500 Index3. While good on an absolute basis, we aren't satisfied by the relative return this quarter, but understand that our investment process of buying companies that have a clear path to per-share value growth, that are run by strong management teams, and that trade at significant discounts to intrinsic value works well on average and over time, but not necessarily every quarter.
Nearly half of the underperformance relative to the S&P 500 came from our two energy holdings as oil and gas prices pulled back somewhat during the quarter. The three largest detractors—Apache (–19%), Chesapeake Energy (–15%) and General Electric (–5%)—all have direct or indirect exposure to oil and gas prices. Energy price volatility notwithstanding, the fundamentals of all three companies are largely tracking with our expectations. Furthermore, recent oil and gas property transactions confirm our belief that Apache and Chesapeake Energy are trading at substantial discounts to fair value, and in the case of Chesapeake, insiders have been buying stock. We added to the Fund's holdings in both Chesapeake and Apache during the quarter.
The three largest contributors to performance were Fiat Chrysler (+20%), CBRE Group (+10%) and Oracle (+16%). There was no identifiable catalyst for the performance at Fiat or CBRE beyond these well-run companies continuing to demonstrate good fundamentals. Often times, this is enough for stocks that are just too cheap. Oracle's latest earnings report showed continued progress managing its transition to more of a cloud-based software model. This strong performance was consistent with our expectations, but appeared to have positively surprised others.
There were no new additions or deletions from the portfolio in the quarter. We added significantly to our MGM investment after what we believe was an overreaction to its earnings release, and we trimmed JPMorgan and Bank of America after continued strong price performance had somewhat narrowed their discounts to value.
Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

The U.S. equity markets (as defined by the S&P 5003) have continued their post-election ascent, increasing 11.4% since November 8, 2016, and 6.1% in the first quarter of 2017. Against this backdrop, the Fund's equity performance has done particularly well, returning 17.1% and 6.8% over those respective time periods. These results raise the questions: how did we call the Trump presidency (considered a low probability event at the time), and what did we do to prepare the portfolio for it? In short, the answers are: we didn't, and nothing. At Harris Associates, we are long-term, bottom-up value investors; therefore, short-term events and macroeconomic considerations don't tend to play a major role in our decision making process. In fact, we have half-jokingly suggested that had we known the outcome of the election in advance, we may not have positioned the portfolio as well.
Still, we believe that the Fund's performance last quarter can be attributed to more than just luck. We seek to populate the portfolio with high-quality, growing companies that are trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic values and that are run by management teams that think and act like owners. By doing so, we believe we set the Fund's investors up for long-term success. Although we are never sure what exactly will cause the gap between price and value to narrow, we are generally confident that it will occur over time. In this case, the recent upward move seems to be explained by the anticipation of economically stimulative policies, such as tax cuts and an easier regulatory environment, as well as improved economic indicators, such as the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) and consumer confidence. While we are not going to try to predict what the next four years will hold, we believe that our group of well-managed, attractively valued companies should fare well.
For the quarter, the Equity & Income Fund earned 4.1%, which compares to 4.2% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index10, the Fund's performance benchmark. The largest contributors to performance were Oracle, Philip Morris International, Bank of America, TE Connectivity and MasterCard, while the largest detractors were TD Ameritrade, Baker Hughes, Herman Miller, Arconic and Manitowoc. The lack of a common theme or discernable pattern amongst the winners and losers is illustrative of our bottom-up approach—the movements were mostly attributable to company-specific factors rather than overarching macroeconomic developments.
Transaction Activity
We added one new position and exited three holdings during the period. We purchased Arconic after it separated from Alcoa and became an independent public company. Arconic designs and manufactures lightweight metal parts and components that are used within the aerospace, building and construction, transportation, and other industries. Its largest division, Engineered
Products and Solutions, accounts for approximately half of the firm's profits and is considered the "crown jewel" of the company. This segment has a similar product portfolio to Precision Castparts, a previous Fund holding that was acquired by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway in 2016. We believe Arconic's long-term revenue outlook is bright. It should benefit from the secular trend toward more lightweight platforms in both the commercial aerospace and automotive industries as well as market share gains within these end markets. Moreover, we expect Arconic's operating margins to expand considerably as reductions in corporate overhead, sourcing and plant optimization are met with increases in capacity utilization. Given our favorable long-term outlook for many of its end markets, the durability of its underlying business segments and its valuation discount relative to precedent transactions, we believe Arconic represents an attractive investment opportunity.
We sold three positions, all of which performed well over the past year and exceeded their sell targets. Although it is always bittersweet to sell a business that possesses strong fundamentals, is run by capable managers and has outperformed our expectations, doing so is critical to our investment process. We often explain to management teams that they should cheer for the day when we sell their stock as that usually means the company is doing well and that the consensus opinion is that leadership is doing a good job. They should be less excited when we take an initial position because this usually indicates some industry or company-specific problem that is dampening enthusiasm for the stock.
The Fund's 2017 "graduating class" to date includes Comerica, Reinsurance Group of America and Rockwell Automation. We purchased Comerica in the first quarter of 2016 when other investors were worried about the company's energy loans, as well as the impact of low interest rates, both of which we thought were overstated. As energy fears subsided and interest rates started to increase, Comerica's stock price more than doubled and approached our view of the company's fair value. We added Reinsurance Group of America to the portfolio in 2014 when worries about low interest rates and lingering fears about the company's underperforming small Australian business drove the stock below book value. The Australian underwriting problem proved to be temporary, interest rates increased and the stock valuation quickly rebounded to a more appropriate multiple of tangible book. In terms of Rockwell Automation, this was the second time we bought the stock, and the purchase worked out well again. We initially purchased Rockwell in 2009 as the world's economy and Rockwell's fundamentals were suffering from the effects of the Global Financial Crisis. We have always admired the company's strong position in factory automation along with its smart management team, so we believed that business fundamentals would rebound as the

economy improved. Business fundamentals have indeed improved materially, as reflected by the stock price's nearly fivefold increase.
The big news in the fixed income market over the past quarter was that the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the third time this decade. The amount was only 25 basis points; however, the Fed also indicated that it would likely increase rates several more times this year. Longer-term Treasury interest rates initially increased in anticipation of this move but ultimately ended the quarter fairly close to where they started. We took advantage of that brief opening, though, to modestly add to our longer dated Treasury position. On the corporate side, investment grade credit spreads have continued to tighten and are near a decade low, providing a challenging backdrop in which to find fixed income securities that we find attractive. Still, we purchased a few securities of high yield companies in which Harris Associates has large equity positions. We know these businesses and management teams well, and we believe they offer attractive spreads. Even with the addition of some longer dated treasuries and corporates this quarter, the duration of our fixed income holdings remains relatively short, which we've done to protect against rising interest rates.
As always, we thank our shareholders for entrusting their assets to the Fund and welcome your questions or comments.

Although the Oakmark Global Fund's 7.6% absolute return this quarter was nearly identical to last quarter's, the drivers of performance broadened to include more relative contribution from the Fund's large international weighting and was less driven by the financials sector, though it still contributed nicely. While we are pleased with the back-to-back 7.6% quarterly returns, please understand that high-single-digit quarterly returns are more the exception than the rule. In the meantime, we trust that you appreciate the performance as much as we do, as fellow shareholders in the Fund.
For the quarter ending March 31, as outlined above, the Oakmark Global Fund returned 7.6%, compared to the 6.4% return of the MSCI World Index12 and 7.0% return of the Lipper Global Fund Index13. Since its inception in 1999, the Fund has achieved a compound annual rate of return of 10.2%, which also compares favorably to the 4.3% return of the MSCI World Index and 5.1% return of the Lipper Global Fund Index.
Holdings in the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland contributed most to the Fund's performance while holdings in the Netherlands, Japan and China contributed least to its return. The three strongest individual contributors to the Fund's performance were CNH Industrial (+11%), Grupo Televisa (+24%) and Allianz (+12%). All of these remain significant holdings due to the still meaningful upside to our estimate of value. The largest detractors for the past quarter were Toyota Motor (–7%), CarMax (–8%) and Itron (–3%).
We initiated two new positions during the quarter (Wirecard and Arconic) and eliminated one (Omron).
Wirecard is a vertically integrated online payment services provider, primarily operating in Europe and South Asia. The majority of the activities are online, which allows for attractive growth opportunities as credit card penetration increases and as e-commerce displaces in-store purchases. As one of the leading players in the industry, Wirecard benefits from significant scale and network effects that allow it to provide an increasingly superior value proposition to its clients (i.e., a virtuous cycle effect). We find Wirecard's management team has added tremendous value for shareholders via its strategic and operational prowess, and the large insider ownership (CEO owns 7%) creates significant alignment with minority shareholders. Wirecard trades at a meaningful discount to both our fundamentally driven intrinsic value as well as recent private market transactions, and we took advantage of the short-term price weakness to initiate a position.
We purchased shares of Arconic after it separated from Alcoa and became an independent public company. We believe Arconic represents an attractive investment opportunity given our favorable long-term outlook for many of its end markets, the durability of its underlying business segments, and its discount relative to precedent acquisition activity. Arconic designs and manufactures lightweight metal parts and components that are used within the aerospace, building and construction, transportation, and other industries. Its largest division, Engineered Products and Solutions, accounts for approximately half of the firm's profits and is considered the "crown jewel" of the company. This segment has a similar product portfolio to Precision Castparts, which was acquired by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway in 2016. We believe Arconic's long-term revenue outlook is bright. It should benefit from the trend toward more lightweight platforms in both the commercial aerospace and automotive industries. Moreover, we expect Arconic's operating margins to expand considerably as the company reduces overhead and increases plant capacity utilization.
We eliminated our position in Omron as its share price approached our intrinsic value estimate, and we allocated the capital to investment opportunities that we believe offer superior risk-return profiles.
The Fund remains significantly underweight the U.S. due to relative valuation, which is probably not much of a surprise given the recent year's performance. The U.K., Switzerland and Germany remain our largest country overweights relative to the global indexes. As always, this country positioning is driven by our bottom-up stock selection process and can diverge greatly from an index. This is not because we simply believe different is good. Rather, we build portfolios in the same manner we would manage our personal capital. We seek to maximize after-tax returns over a multi-year time horizon by concentrating our investments in the most undervalued businesses with clear paths to growing per share values, managed by capable and properly motivated management teams.
We continue to believe the Swiss franc and Australian dollar are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 11% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar exposures were hedged at quarter end.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund returned 5.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to the MSCI World Index's12 6.4% return. Most importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 8.4% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 5.0% over the same period.
Richemont, the world's second-biggest luxury goods company, was the largest contributor to performance for the quarter, returning 19%. Investors reacted positively to the company's third-quarter sales update, which showed the first period of growth since the first half of 2015. Much of the improvement was driven by a recovery in greater China (PRC, Hong Kong and Macau), where demand appears to be normalizing following two-plus years of contraction after a government crackdown on gifting reduced demand for luxury watches. With the number of millionaires globally growing at a healthy rate and Richemont's ownership of one of the most valuable portfolios of luxury brands, including Cartier, Van Cleef and Piaget, we believe Richemont continues to be an attractive investment for our shareholders.
Apache, a U.S.-based leading oil and gas exploration and production company, was the largest detractor for the quarter, declining 19%. Shares reacted negatively to the company's 2017 production guidance, which was below expectations despite increased capital spending. Volumes are expected to decline in the first half of 2017 due to temporary maintenance as well as the lagging impact of capital expenditure reductions in 2016. However, production is expected to improve in the second half of 2017 primarily due to growth from the company's new oil and gas discovery (Alpine High) in the Permian Basin. In addition, the management team is focused on maximizing shareholder value through lean operations and careful capital allocation. Although Apache's near-term operating environment may be challenging, we believe its long-term prospects are promising and that the company is well positioned to benefit from an eventual recovery in oil prices.
During the quarter, we sold our position in Samsung Electronics and purchased shares of Willis Towers Watson. Samsung's stock price has performed well recently due to strong results from the company's memory business. Although Samsung remains well positioned, we decided to reinvest the proceeds into more attractive opportunities. Willis Towers Watson is the product of the 2016 merger between Willis Group and Towers Watson. At the time of the merger, Willis was the third-largest insurance broker in the world, operating in approximately 120 countries, while Towers Watson was a leading provider of risk management and
consulting services. We believe the combined group will be able to offer an enhanced value proposition to its clients and also generate significant operational and tax-related synergies. Given that the stock currently trades at 11x forward operating earnings and that the company produces a healthy free cash flow yield, we find that Willis Towers Watson has an attractive risk-reward profile.
Geographically, 47% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S.-domiciled companies as of March 31, while approximately 53% were allocated to equities in Europe.
We continue to believe the Swiss franc is overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 10% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.
We thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and confidence.

The Oakmark International Fund returned 9.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index14, which returned 6.8% over the same period. Most importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 10.0% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 5.9% per year over the same period.
Glencore, one of the world's largest mining companies and commodities traders, was the top contributor to performance again this quarter, returning 14%. Glencore reported full-year 2016 operating profit of $10.3 billion, which exceeded our estimates by approximately 5%. Improved profitability was driven by solid performance in both the Industrial and Marketing segments. In January, we met with CEO Ivan Glasenberg, who remains optimistic about copper prices given steady demand and deteriorating supply. In addition, Glencore officially completed its debt reduction plan in 2016, and its net debt declined by $14.1 billion over the last 18 months—a remarkable achievement that reflects management's decisive action. As the company's balance sheet health has improved, so has its generation of free cash flow, which will largely be returned to shareholders. Management plans to return at least $1 billion to shareholders in 2017 via dividends. We believe management is working to enhance shareholder value, and our investment thesis remains intact.
H&M, a global fashion designer and retailer, was the largest detractor for the quarter, declining 8%. As we anticipated, higher-than-normal inventory levels in the first quarter led to increased markdowns and lower margins. While H&M has started to see an improvement in a number of markets, including China, its performance in the U.S. and Central/Southern Europe remains weak. However, the company is taking definitive steps to improve results and increase its profitability. Last year, a new management team revised the company's growth targets to focus more on comparable and profitable growth. Also it recently announced the launch of the Arket brand, a higher priced concept that will offer classic garments for women, men and children, as well as home furnishings. We support this move as the company has been successful with its other lines, including & Other Stories and COS. We believe that H&M's substantial investments over the past few years will soon bear fruit and that the gross margin headwinds facing the company will also abate. For these reasons, we continue to believe that H&M provides good investment value and that it will reward shareholders in the long term.
During the quarter, we sold our position in Nomura Holdings and added two new names to the portfolio: Publicis Group (France), a leading global advertising and media services company, and Volvo (Sweden), the world's second-largest truck manufacturer.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 77% of our holdings in Europe, 8% in Japan and 4% in Australia. The remaining positions are in Mexico, the U.S., Indonesia, China, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Israel.
We continue to believe the Swiss franc and Australian dollar are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged a portion of the Fund's exposure. Approximately 10% of the Swiss franc and 10% of the Australian dollar exposures were hedged at quarter end.
We continue to focus on finding what we believe are attractive, undervalued international companies with management teams focused on building shareholder value. We thank you for your support.

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned 9.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index17, which returned 7.6% for the same period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9.6%, annualized.
The top-performing stock for the quarter was IWG (formerly known as Regus). IWG is a global flexible workplace provider whose network includes almost 3,000 locations across 900 cities in over 100 countries. IWG's share price reacted favorably after the release of the company's fiscal year 2016 earnings results in late February. The company reported 5% constant currency revenue growth, which was admittedly a little bit weaker than we had expected, but was more than offset by a 13% constant currency decline in overhead expense. This cost cutting was achieved even as the company expanded its network by 6%—a further illustration of IWG's excellent progress in restructuring its cost base. The company's strong operating leverage produced robust free cash flow and a material improvement in return on invested capital. We expect these trends to continue as management further rationalizes its overhead expenses while it increases the mix of capital contributions from third parties. These partnering relationships enable IWG to grow in a capital light manner while further reinforcing its significant scale advantage. (IWG has almost 20 times as many locations as the number two player in the industry.) While IWG's shares performed quite strongly in the first quarter, we see substantial upside from current levels and the company remains a significant holding in the portfolio.
The Fund's largest detractor for the quarter was SKY Network Television. Based in New Zealand, SKY Network Television provides pay-television services, with content ranging from news and sports to movies and pay-per-view events. SKY Network Television's fiscal first-half earnings were largely in line with analysts' expectations. However, news that the New Zealand Commerce Commission would not clear the company's proposed merger with Vodafone New Zealand weighed on SKY's share price in February and disappointed investors, including us, who believed the merger would benefit shareholders. Although we have reduced our estimate of SKY's intrinsic value, we continue to remain shareholders, as we believe its standalone business is still trading at a large discount to the company's true worth.
We initiated three new positions in the Fund this quarter: Megacable Holdings, Wirecard and Howden Joinery Group. Megacable Holdings is the second-largest cable provider in Mexico and the last remaining independent cable company of its size in the country. Based in Germany, Wirecard provides outsourcing and white label solutions for electronic payment transactions. Howden Joinery Group is the leading supplier of kitchens in the U.K., controlling 25% of the total market share.
We eliminated our positions in Ferrari (Italy) and Interpump Group (Italy) during the quarter.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 21% of our holdings in Asia, 60% in Europe and the U.K., and 11% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 5% in North America (Canada and the U.S.) and 3% in Latin America (Brazil and Mexico).
We still maintain hedge positions on two of the Fund's currency exposures. As of the quarter end, the Australian dollar hedge was 9% and the Swiss franc exposure was hedged 10%.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The following are the significant accounting policies of Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark"), Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income"), Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), Oakmark Global Select Fund ("Global Select"), Oakmark International Fund ("International"), and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small Cap"), collectively referred to as the "Funds," each a series of Harris Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, organized on February 1, 1991, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. Each Fund, other than Select and Global Select, is diversified in accordance with the 1940 Act. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Class disclosure
Each Fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Class (formerly Class I) Shares, Advisor Class Shares, Institutional Class Shares, and Service Class (formerly Class II) Shares. Investor Class, Advisor Class and Institutional Class Shares are offered for purchase directly from the Funds and through certain intermediaries who have entered into an agreement with the Funds' distributor and/or Harris Associates L.P., investment adviser to the Funds (the "Adviser"). Service Class (formerly Class II) Shares are offered to certain retirement plans such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Service Class Shares pay a service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average net assets of Service Class 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. Global Select had no outstanding Service Class Shares during the six-month period ended March 31, 2017.
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, other shareholder servicing fees and reports to shareholders expenses 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 Adviser's assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
The Funds recognize transfers between level 1 and level 2 at the end of the reporting cycle. At March 31, 2017, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2017 in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed-income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented by contract in the notes following the below summary:

Offsetting assets and liabilities
Accounting Standards Codification 210 requires entities to disclose gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and disclose instruments and transactions subject to master netting or similar agreements. This disclosure is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.
At March 31, 2017 certain Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts that were subject to a foreign exchange settlement and netting agreement with the same counterparty. The agreement includes provisions for general obligations, representations and certain events of default or termination. The agreement includes provisions for netting arrangements that may reduce credit risk and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions, in the event a counterparty fails to meet its obligations. The net recognized assets or liabilities related to open forward foreign currency contracts are presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The gross recognized assets (appreciation) and liabilities (depreciation) by contract are presented in the table included in the Forward foreign currency contracts section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.
At March 31, 2017 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. Each of the Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts were used for transaction or 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
Oakmark.com 51
Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 March 31, 2017 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 March 31, 2017 none of the Funds had short sales.
When-issued or delayed-delivery securities
Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. At March 31, 2017 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 used options written for tax management purposes during the period ended March 31, 2017, as follows (in thousands).
Oakmark
| | Number of Contracts | | Premiums | |

Credit facility
The Trust has a $200 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $300 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 0.20% on the unused committed portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the period ended March 31, 2017.

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, 2017 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 March 31, 2017 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, net of any fees retained by the securities lending agent, is included in the Statement of Operations.
At March 31, 2017 none of the Funds had securities on loan.
Interfund lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility that allows the Funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other for temporary purposes (an "Interfund Loan"). All Interfund Loans are subject to conditions pursuant to the SEC exemptive order designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of participating Funds. Any Interfund Loan would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending Fund otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments. There were no Interfund Loans during the period ended March 31, 2017.
Restricted securities
Each Fund may invest in restricted securities, which generally are considered illiquid, but such illiquid securities may not comprise more than 15% of the value of a Fund's net assets at the time of investment. The following investments, the sales of which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws, have been valued in good faith according to the securities valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees (as stated in the Security valuation section) since their acquisition dates.
At March 31, 2017 Equity and Income and International held the following restricted securities:

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.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Global Select | | 1.00% up to $2 billion; 0.95% on the next $1 billion; 0.875% on the next $4 billion; and 0.85% over $7 billion | |
International | | 1.00% up to $2 billion; 0.95% on the next $1 billion; 0.85% on the next $2 billion; 0.825% on the next $2.5 billion; 0.815% on the next $3.5 billion; 0.805% on the next $5.5 billion; 0.80% on the next $6.5 billion; 0.795% on the next $7 billion; 0.790% on the next $5 billion; and 0.785% over $35 billion | |

Effective November 1, 2016 and continuing through January 28, 2018, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee otherwise payable to it by the following percentages with respect to each Fund: 0.04% for Oakmark; 0.07% for Select; 0.10% for Equity and Income; 0.06% for Global; 0.07% for Global Select; and 0.05% for International. When determining whether a Fund's total expenses exceed the additional contractual expense cap described below, a Fund's net advisory fee, reflecting application of the advisory fee waiver, will be used to calculate a Fund's total expenses. The Adviser is not entitled to collect on or make a claim for waived fees that are the subject of this undertaking at any time in the future. This arrangement may only be modified or amended with approval from a Fund and the Adviser.
The Adviser is contractually obligated through January 28, 2018 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 | | Investor Class | | Advisor Class | | Institutional Class | | Service Class | |
Oakmark | | | 1.50 | % | | | 1.40 | % | | | 1.30 | % | | | 1.75 | % | |
Select | | | 1.50 | | | | 1.40 | | | | 1.30 | | | | 1.75 | | |
Equity and Income | | | 1.00 | | | | 0.90 | | | | 0.80 | | | | 1.25 | | |
Global | | | 1.75 | | | | 1.65 | | | | 1.55 | | | | 2.00 | | |
Global Select | | | 1.75 | | | | 1.65 | | | | 1.55 | | | | 2.00 | | |
International | | | 2.00 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.80 | | | | 2.25 | | |
Int'l Small Cap | | | 2.00 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.80 | | | | 2.25 | | |
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 March 31, 2017 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 Investor Class 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.

The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding The Board Of Trustees' October 2016 Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreements
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Oakmark Funds (the "Funds"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser") or the Funds ("Independent Trustees"), is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") to determine whether to continue each Fund's investment advisory agreement (each, an "Agreement," and collectively, the "Agreements") with the Adviser. At a meeting held on October 19, 2016, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, upon recommendation of the Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee"), determined that the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the continuation of the Agreements through October 31, 2017.
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed materials provided by the Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Trustees and counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent of the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"), and met with senior representatives of the Adviser regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board retained an independent data provider to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and for comparable funds.
The Committee leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. During the annual contract review, the Committee and the Board met multiple times to consider the Agreements and ensure that the Adviser had time to respond to questions from the Independent Trustees and that the Independent Trustees had time to consider those responses. In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered a broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Throughout the process, the Independent Trustees were advised by Independent Counsel and received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Committee and the Independent Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser.
In connection with their consideration of each Agreement, the Committee and the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund, as well as performance information for an appropriate market index and a peer group of other mutual funds, (iii) the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund, as well as fee and expense information for comparable funds and separate accounts managed by the Adviser, (iv) the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, (v) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders, and (vi) other benefits to the Adviser that result from its relationship with each Fund.
Below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board regarding various factors. In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed the information differently. The Board focused, among other things, on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.
1. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge the Board gained during meetings with the Adviser throughout the year. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; the consistency of its investment approach; the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the Adviser's investment and other personnel responsible for managing the Funds; the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds; and the Adviser's compliance program. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds, including the time that investment personnel devoted to each Fund and the investment results produced as a result of the Adviser's in-house research.
The Board considered that, pursuant to each Agreement, the Adviser provides administrative services, including, among other things, oversight of shareholder communications, fund administration and accounting services, regulatory and legal obligation oversight, supervision of fund operations, and Board support. The Board also considered that the Adviser's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding the Adviser's processes for managing risk. 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 also considered the manner in which the Adviser addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it, and considered the overall performance of the Adviser in this context.
2. Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, and the performance of a group of comparable funds pursuing broadly similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective as each Fund (the Fund's "Performance Universe") selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Because the Committee commenced its review in June, the performance periods considered by the Board were those ended on April 30, 2016. Where available, the Board considered one-, three-, five-, and ten-year performance. The Board also considered updated performance information at its October meeting at which the Agreements were approved.
68 OAKMARK FUNDS
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2016.
Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2016.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2016.
Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one- and three-year periods ending April 30, 2016.
Oakmark Global Select Fund. Noting that the Oakmark Global Select Fund commenced operations in October 2006, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during all periods presented.
Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund outperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the three-, five- and ten-year periods ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the one-year period ending April 30, 2016.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the ten-year period ending April 30, 2016, but underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending April 30, 2016.
In addition to considering each Fund's performance as compared to that of its respective Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance as compared to that of its benchmark and other comparative data provided by Broadridge, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their respective Performance Universe, the Board discussed with the Adviser each Fund's performance and considered that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of a Fund's Agreements.
3. Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser
Using information provided by Broadridge, the Board considered each Fund's management fee and the management fees for other mutual funds comparable in size, character and investment strategy to each Fund (the "Expense Group"), and considered each Fund's expense ratio and those of the Expense Group.
The Board also reviewed the Adviser's management fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and subadvised funds (for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and any such comparable funds and/or separate accounts, including any breakpoints, and noted the Adviser's explanation that, although in most instances, the fees paid by those other clients were lower than the fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's significantly greater level of responsibilities and broader scope of services regarding the Funds, and the more extensive regulatory obligations and the various risks (e.g., operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, compliance) associated with managing the Funds. The Board noted that each Fund's management fee is a single fee that compensates the Adviser for its services as investment adviser and manager under the Agreements.
The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Funds' investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees and the relationship of such compensation to the Adviser's ability to attract and retain quality personnel. The Board also considered fall-out benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as an Investment Management Industry Profitability Analysis prepared by Broadridge and a report on the Adviser's profitability prepared by an independent consultant. 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. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds, for purposes of calculating its profitability.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the management fee rate and expense ratio of each Fund as of the conclusion of each Fund's last fiscal year end is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund and Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio are higher than the respective medians of each Fund's Expense Group.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark International Fund and Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that each Fund's management fee rate is higher than the median of each 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.

4. Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies
The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee structure reflects any potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Adviser for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board reviewed each Agreement, which includes breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as Fund assets increase. The Board also considered that the Adviser has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services that were required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations and/or requested by the Board.
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.
6. Conclusion
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the continuation of each Agreement was in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the Fund's Agreement and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its Agreement with the Adviser; that the Adviser was delivering performance for each Fund that was consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Fund, and that the Fund and its shareholders were benefiting from the Adviser's investment management of the Fund; that the management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided; that the breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser; that the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Funds appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services performed; and that the benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs and risks associated with providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions are based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.

The discussion of the Funds' investments and investment strategy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers' research and investment process, and portfolio characteristics) represents the Funds' investments and the views of the portfolio managers and Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser, at the time of this report, and are subject to change without notice.
All Oakmark Funds: Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
Oakmark, Oakmark Equity and Income, Oakmark Global, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: The Funds' portfolios tend to be invested in a relatively small number of stocks. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the Funds' net asset value than it would if the Funds invest in a larger number of securities. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the Funds' volatility.
Oakmark Select Fund: The stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods.
Because the Oakmark Select and Oakmark Global Select Funds are non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on the Funds' total return, and may make the Fund's returns more volatile than a more diversified fund.
Oakmark Global, Oakmark Global Select, Oakmark International and Oakmark International Small Cap Funds: Investing in foreign securities presents risks which in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.
The percentages of hedge exposure for each foreign currency are calculated by dividing the market value of all same-currency forward contracts by the market value of the underlying equity exposure to that currency.
The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund invests in medium- and lower-quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher-quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund: The stocks of smaller companies often involve more risk than the stocks of larger companies. Stocks of small companies tend to be more volatile and have a smaller public market than stocks of larger companies.
Small companies may have a shorter history of operations than larger companies, may not have as great an ability to raise additional capital and may have a less diversified product line, making them more susceptible to market pressure.
