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.

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, 2018 to September 30, 2018, 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, 2018, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the "Actual—Expenses Paid During Period" column shown below.
Shares of Oakmark International Small Cap Fund, invested for 90 days or less, may be charged a 2% redemption fee upon redemption. Please consult the Funds' prospectus at Oakmark.com for more information.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for shares of each Fund based on actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or actual expenses shareholders paid for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical—Expenses Paid During Period" column of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

Oakmark and Oakmark Select Funds September 30, 2018
Portfolio Manager Commentary
William C. Nygren, CFA
Portfolio Manager
oakmx@oakmark.com
oaklx@oakmark.com
oakwx@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.
Fiscal-year 2018 closed with a thud for Oakmark and Oakmark Select as both Funds' positive returns trailed the S&P 500's1 gains. As is typical, when the stocks we own in Oakmark underperform the market, the stocks we believe are most attractive and own in the more concentrated Oakmark Select Fund underperform by even more. As of quarter end, both Funds lagged behind the S&P 500 on a trailing one-, three- and five-year basis. As portfolio managers and fellow investors, we are as frustrated with those numbers as you are.
While many fund managers avoid talking about their underperformance, we'd prefer to confront ours head on. The goal of this commentary is to put our performance in perspective, explain why it happened and give you a framework for deciding what, if anything, to do about it. Because Oakmark is the more diversified portfolio and, therefore, holds more stocks than Oakmark Select, it provides more examples for this discussion, so it will be the focus of this piece. The Oakmark Select report will use a similar format to review specifics of that Fund.
First, let's put underperformance in context. The Oakmark Fund was started in August 1991. An investor who bought and held the S&P 500 from that date until now has earned slightly more than 13 times their initial investment. An investor who bought and held the Oakmark Fund for the same period now has earned nearly 27 times their initial investment—more than twice the capital of the S&P 500 investor. Despite that long-term record, the Fund has endured many periods when the S&P 500 fared better. Oakmark trailed the S&P 500 in 50% of the rolling 12-month periods. Over rolling three-year increments, the Fund still underperformed 47% of the time. Even if we look across five-year increments, Oakmark trailed the S&P 500 in 31%. All that underperformance came despite more than doubling the S&P 500's return over 27 years.
Some long-term investors might say there is no excuse for a five-year period of underperformance. They could decide to buy a fund after its five-year record exceeds the market return and sell that fund when its five-year record trails the market. We analyzed how that strategy would have worked for an investor in the Oakmark Fund who reviewed their position at every month end. We assume this investor used proceeds from their Oakmark sales to invest in an S&P 500 index fund. Following this approach over the Fund's history, this "in-and-out" investor would have bought and sold the Fund for eight round trips. The return achieved by that investor would have fallen short of just buying and holding the S&P 500. Here are the results based on an initial investment of $10,000 in August 1991:
Strategy | | Ending Capital | |
Oakmark Buy and Hold | | $ | 268,700 | | |
S&P 500 Buy and Hold | | $ | 132,000 | | |
Oakmark/S&P 500 "In-and-Out" | | $ | 122,200 | | |
Clearly, performance chasing has been futile. (Further, the "in-and-out" investor would have been taxed on much higher realized capital gains as each sale would have been a taxable event.)
Let's look back at the past year. When we buy a stock at Oakmark, we believe it is selling at a large discount to its true value. This means there are essentially two possible versions of what the business is really worth: the consensus view of business fundamentals, as expressed in the current stock price, or our much more positive view of them. During the time we own a stock, we constantly evaluate new information to determine which view is more accurate.
In fiscal-year 2018, new information led us to conclude that the consensus view was probably more accurate than our view of five different holdings: AutoNation, General Electric Company (GE), Harley-Davidson, Qualcomm and Whirlpool. We sold all of those names, with the exception of GE. We've found that when our judgment about a business or the people running it has been in error, it is unlikely to quickly turn around, so we typically sell those stocks. GE is different because it now has a new management team, new board members and the divisions that account for most of our valuation case today—Aviation and Healthcare—have performed as expected. Our thesis does not require either a turnaround of GE's underperforming Power division or that the managers who spent years driving the bus into the ditch now drive it out.
Of the 52 companies we owned on October 1 last year, we conceded we were wrong on our business value estimates for five of them. That isn't an unusually high error rate and, in fact, the negative effect of those five stocks on the portfolio was more than fully offset by the gain in just one good holding, Netflix. This means there was more to our performance shortfall than just these five stocks.
Instead, what was unusual over the past year was the performance of the remaining 47 stocks, the ones we don't think of as mistakes. Even though these businesses generally performed consistently with our expectations, 26 underperformed the S&P 500 by more than 1000 basis points (10 percentage points). One reason for this was the unusual divergence across the 500 stocks that comprise the index.
Because the S&P 500 is a capitalization-weighted index, the largest cap stocks have a much greater impact. And although we owned some of those names, they accounted for less of our portfolio. Over half of the S&P 500's strong performance over the past 12 months was accounted for by just 13 very big stocks (e.g., Amazon, Apple). Consistent with that, the median stock in the S&P 500 underperformed the index by nearly 700 basis points. In a typical year, the median stock is much closer to the index performance. Because we weight positions based on

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
perceived attractiveness rather than market capitalization, our returns usually track closer to the median S&P 5001 stock than to the index.
An additional factor was that well over half of our underperforming stocks were in cyclical industries, which tend to be more sensitive to the strength of the broad economy. This list includes banks, industrials, consumer durables (such as autos), airlines and energy companies. If we judged those stocks based on their business results alone, we would have thought the Fund had a pretty good year. But due to investors' increasing fears of a recession, the stock prices of these economically sensitive businesses performed poorly. Isn't it reasonable for investors to expect that after a nine-year recovery, a recession should be right around the corner? Although this recovery may be near a typical expiration date when measured by time, it is nowhere near a typical end when measured by the cumulative amount of above-trend growth. When one looks at recent economic performance—whether analyzing 20 years, 50 years or anywhere in between—it is almost impossible to get a regression line that shows 2018 GDP to be above trend. The chart below, which compares actual GDP from 1988–2018 to a 30-year regression line shows that current GDP has not yet even returned to the trend line.
Although nearly 100% of Oakmark's research is done bottom up (at the company level) as opposed to top down (making predictions about the economy), our analysis still needs to be based on some economic forecast. The projection our analysts always use is that, in five to seven years, the economy will be "normal," meaning near a midpoint of boom and recession levels. So, without trying to guess when the next recession will occur, our forecast assumes normal growth, meaning growth in real GDP (adjusted for inflation) averages about 2% per year.
Typically, forecasting that the future will be "normal" isn't an outlier forecast. Today, because such a high percentage of investors are anticipating a recession, a prediction of normal growth is actually very optimistic relative to consensus. That explains why, when we select the stocks that we believe are most attractive, our portfolios end up with more cyclical exposure. And because most of our companies currently use their earnings to repurchase stock, a brief period of investor skepticism and stock price weakness will actually increase our estimates of their future per-share value.
When business fundamentals outperform stock prices like this, we find stocks more attractive and our investment process takes these metrics into account. We set buy and sell targets for a stock at about 60% and 90% of our estimate of intrinsic value, respectively. When stocks rise above 90% of our estimate of business value, we sell them. At any point in time, our portfolio is a mix of some stocks priced below target and the rest priced between 60% and 90% of our estimate of value. Today, 55% of the Oakmark Fund's holdings are either below our buy targets or less than 10% above. That compares to a year ago when only 31% were priced similarly. This shift makes the Oakmark Fund more attractive in our view because it means there is greater potential for future returns.
At the end of each calendar year, we disclose the total amount our employees have invested in the Oakmark Funds. Many of us have been buying this year. We now own meaningfully more shares than we did a year ago, which will result in a higher dollar amount being disclosed next quarter, unless there is a significant market decline. We know that we apply the same process that created the long-term track record that was referenced earlier and we apply at least the same level of talent and effort to making our investment decisions. If you don't agree, you should sell our Funds, regardless of their performance. But if you do agree, and our portfolio positioning sounds logical to you, then consider joining us to take advantage of the recent weakness.

Oakmark Fund September 30, 2018
Portfolio Manager Commentary

Portfolio Manager

The Oakmark Fund increased 4.2% during the third quarter, which brings the increase to 11.8% for the fiscal year ended September 30th. These are good absolute returns, but Oakmark trailed the strong performance of the S&P 5001, the Fund's benchmark, which was up 7.7% for the third quarter and up 17.9% for the past 12 months. While we are disappointed to underperform the market during the third quarter and the fiscal year, we remind investors that while the Fund has outperformed the market over longer periods of time, we are not surprised to see numerous shorter periods of underperformance along the way. (See Bill Nygren's third-quarter commentary for more on this subject.)
Our highest contributing securities for the fiscal year were Netflix and HCA Healthcare, which generated impressive total returns of 106% and 76%, respectively. Netflix continues to see strong subscriber and revenue growth and its profitability has improved, despite substantial investments in marketing and new content. Our largest individual detractors for the year were General Electric Company (GE), which was down 51%, and American Airlines Group, which was down 20%. As we've mentioned before, we were mistaken in our original assessment of GE's business and we've been frustrated by how the business and the share price have performed. We believe that GE has some very good businesses (e.g., Aviation and Healthcare), strong new management is in place and the enterprise is valued at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
The highest contributing sectors for the third quarter were health care and information technology, with HCA Healthcare Inc. and Apple Inc. leading the way as the Fund's highest individual contributors. Our biggest detracting sectors for the quarter were consumer discretionary and energy. The Fund's largest individual detractors for the quarter were GE and State Street Corporation. During the quarter, we initiated positions in DXC Technology Co. and Charles Schwab Corporation (see below), and we didn't eliminate any positions.
DXC Technology Co. (DXC-$93.52)
DXC is a leading IT services company that was formed through the recent combination of Computer Sciences Corporation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services. The company has established a global footprint and a broad suite of technology offerings, which places it in a limited group of vendors that are able to serve the IT needs of large multinational corporations. We believe CEO Mike Lawrie is among the best turnaround managers at work today. He has a history of taking leadership of underperforming IT companies, then removing costs, divesting assets and re-directing investments into high-return opportunities—a formula that has driven tremendous gains in shareholder value over time. We expect Lawrie will continue to execute on this proven blueprint as he integrates the HP acquisition and we believe that he is uniquely suited to uncover
substantial hidden profits in this $19B business. DXC currently trades at just 10x 2019 consensus earnings, a significant discount to the S&P 500 multiple of 17x, despite DXC profits being forecasted to grow at a rate faster than the market for the foreseeable future.
Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW-$49.15)
Schwab is the largest discount brokerage firm in the United States with more than $3 trillion in client assets and 11 million active brokerage accounts. This size provides Schwab with meaningful scale advantages over its smaller competitors. As the largest discount brokerage firm, the company is able to offer lower prices and invest more in superior customer service and technology than its peers. Schwab management calls this its "no trade-offs" policy—i.e., investing to provide the best product at the lowest price, and these investments attract even more clients to Schwab's platform. As a result, Schwab has been able to grow its client assets at a double-digit rate in recent years, and given that the company still has less than 15% market share, we believe such growth should continue for the foreseeable future. The company also meaningfully benefits from rising interest rates, as the higher rates allow Schwab to reinvest its bank deposits at higher yields. We believe the combination of client asset growth and rising interest rates should drive substantial asset growth at Schwab in the coming years, and on our estimates, the company is currently valued at a discount to the overall S&P 500 P/E5 multiple. We believe this represents a bargain price for a well above average business.

The Oakmark Select Fund was up 0.3% for the quarter, trailing the S&P 5001 Index's 7.7% return. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, the Oakmark Select Fund decreased by –0.1%, compared to the S&P 500's 17.9% gain. As shareholders of the Fund and stewards of your capital, we are quite frustrated with this performance, but we continue to follow the same disciplined investment process that has led to our strong performance over the longer term. As referenced in the third-quarter market commentary, the market's recent general repudiation of our investment beliefs is magnified in the Select Fund, given its higher level of concentration. We'd like to use this letter to put this recent underperformance into context.
The Select Fund was started in November 1996. An investor who bought and held the S&P 500 from that date until now has earned slightly more than six times their initial investment. An investor who bought and held the Select Fund for the same period now has over 12 times their initial investment—more than twice the capital of the S&P 500 investor.
Even with that long-term record, the Fund has regularly endured long periods in which the S&P 500 fared better. In 50% of the Fund's 252 rolling 12-month periods, the Select Fund has trailed the S&P 500. Stretching the time period to three years, the Select Fund still trailed the S&P 500 43% of the time. Even when we move out to five years, the Select Fund fell short of the S&P 500 35% of the time. Yet despite all of these periods of underperformance, the Fund still generated more than double the S&P 500's return over that 22-year period.
If an investor waited to see five years of market outperformance before investing in the Oakmark Select Fund and then sold the Fund after five years of underperformance, entering and selling the Fund each time one of those triggers was met, here are the results (based on an initial investment of $10,000 in November 1996):
Strategy | | Ending Capital | |
-Oakmark Select Buy and Hold | | $ | 126,200 | | |
-S&P 500 Buy and Hold | | $ | 62,500 | | |
-Select/S&P 500 "In and Out" | | $ | 59,500 | | |
Clearly, attempting to chase trailing performance has been a poor strategy. Long-time shareholders understand that we invest in companies that we believe are selling at large discounts to their intrinsic values, and these stocks are often terribly out of favor with other investors. But if we're right about these companies' underlying values, then their cash flows should eventually win out, the market will come around to our view, and the stock prices will eventually rise to our estimate of value. No one can tell the precise moment when this will happen, and if investors only focus on past results, they could miss out on periods of strong performance.
Patience, therefore, is a necessary virtue in value investing. But stubbornness in the face of contrary evidence most certainly is not. We conduct regular retrospective looks on all of the securities across the Oakmark fund complex. We particularly pay attention to companies that are falling short of our expectations. In fiscal 2018, new information led us to conclude that the negative consensus view was probably more accurate than our optimistic view for three holdings that fell short of our expectations: General Electric (GE), Harley-Davidson, and Adient. We sold Harley-Davidson. Both GE and Adient, however, brought in new management teams, and the most valuable parts of both companies' businesses (Aviation and Healthcare within GE, and Seating within Adient) have been performing essentially in line with our expectations. We also believe that both companies are currently hobbled by less significant divisions (Power in GE, and Structures in Adient) that are relatively small components of their intrinsic values. Neither company will turn around over night, but we believe that these new management teams are quite capable and that each company is worth far more than its current stock price reflects.
Significantly, most of our underperforming stocks this year were pro-cyclical: these stocks tend to have more than a typical amount of sensitivity to the health of the broad economy. This list includes our banks, industrials, consumer durables (such as autos), energy, and travel-related companies. Had we simply judged our performance based on the business results these companies reported rather than their stock prices, we would have thought we had a pretty good year.
Of the 24 stocks we owned throughout fiscal 2018, only eight produced a total return of at least 10% while owned by the Fund (in a year in which the S&P 500 increased by 18%). Of the 16 that fell short of this hurdle, three were the companies mentioned above that disappointed fundamentally relative to our expectations. Of the remaining 13 holdings whose stocks underperformed, 11 actually produced earnings results broadly in line with our expectations, but investor fears of an upcoming recession grew throughout the year, heightened by concerns about the effects of tariffs on the broader economy, which resulted in poor stock prices, despite good business performance.
In only a slight oversimplification, if we identify a business we believe is worth $100 per share, we will set a buy target of $60 and a sell target of $90 for the stock. At any given point in time, our portfolio is a mix of some stocks selling below the buy targets and others selling at all levels between the buy and sell targets. When business fundamentals outperform stock prices, stocks, in our view, become more attractive. Today, 62% of the stocks held in Oakmark Select are below our buy targets. That compares to a year ago when 25% were below the buy targets. We are applying the same processes that created the long-term

track record that was referenced earlier, and are applying at least the same level of talent and effort to making our investment decisions. We believe the recent underperformance has made the Oakmark Select Fund more attractive—and we have been buying more shares of the Fund ourselves this year. We hope you consider joining us to take advantage of the recent weakness.
Thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your continued investment in our Fund.

Some investment industry commentators have questioned the substandard performance history of traditional value equities following the financial crisis and have posited that recent economic changes have made traditional value factors, especially price-to-book ratios9, obsolete. The basic argument is that intangible assets (e.g., patents, trademarks, research & development (R&D) spending, etc.) have become an increasingly dominant proportion of a modern company's net worth and current accounting conventions fail to capture these assets adequately. In support of this view, in 1975, over 80% of the stock market value of an average company was represented by tangible book value, with intangibles representing the rest. Today those metrics are flip-flopped.
Regular readers of the Oakmark Funds' group quarterly reports know that our colleague Bill Nygren recently addressed the inadequacies of GAAP accounting. Expenditures for property, plant and equipment are capitalized as an asset on the balance sheet and depreciated over the estimated life of that equipment. But other expenditures that yield long-term benefits, such as the R&D that a pharmaceutical company puts toward a new drug or the upfront marketing expense that a software company incurs to acquire a new customer, are expensed immediately and generate no corresponding asset. To confuse things further, an intangible asset that is acquired is treated differently than one that is developed internally.
This is all very interesting, but what does this mean for us as managers of the Equity and Income Fund? Our job is to seek value wherever we can find it in both the equity and the fixed income market. To do that, however, we must recognize that value itself is always evolving and we must also evolve to keep up. When considering investing in an equity, we always ask, "What is the price we could pay for this company and earn a fair return if we had to purchase it in its entirety and could never sell it again?" When we can estimate that price and can buy the equity at a sufficient discount, we believe that we have uncovered true value. But our analysis must continually progress for us to avoid an obsolete understanding of business value.
Several decades ago, some disciples of Benjamin Graham limited their investing to companies that were selling for less than the net value of their current assets minus all liabilities (net-nets). Over time, this investing method lost relevance as the economy developed and net-nets disappeared. Similarly, we must strive to stay ahead of the wave rather than fighting to catch up. One tactic that we use to fight obsolescence is to regularly hire new investment analysts, who, although fundamentally value oriented, have different ways of understanding exactly what that means. Another is our "devil's advocate
reviews" in which an analyst is charged with attacking our collective thinking on an issue. "Evolve or die out" is true in nature, and we realize that this also applies to our investing.
Quarter and Fiscal-Year Review
The Equity and Income Fund returned 2.5% in the quarter, which compares to 3.1% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index7, the Fund's performance benchmark. For the nine months of the calendar year, the Fund returned 1.0%, compared to 3.2% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index. And for the 12 months ended September 30 (the Fund's fiscal year), Equity and Income earned 5.3%, which compares to 6.9% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index. The annualized compound rate of return since inception in 1995 is 10.1%, while the corresponding return to the Lipper Balanced Fund Index is 7.0%.
HCA Healthcare, CVS, Mastercard, Dover and Oracle provided the largest contribution to portfolio return in the quarter. Detractors included General Motors (GM), Lear, PDC Energy, State Street and TE Connectivity. Contributors for the calendar year to date were MasterCard, HCA Healthcare, UnitedHealth Group, National Oilwell Varco and Charter Communications. GM, Philip Morris International, Arconic, Lear and TE Connectivity were the leading detractors for the nine months. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year, the largest contributors were Mastercard, Bank of America, UnitedHealth Group, HCA Healthcare and Dover. The stocks that detracted most were GM, Philip Morris International, Lear, Baker Hughes and BorgWarner.
One year ago, we wrote about the strong performance of the automotive industry stocks in the portfolio. This proved to be a premature celebration, as the 12-month detractor list demonstrates all too well. We continue to believe that the automotive sector is attractively priced. Concerning GM, the Fund's second largest holding, we were very intrigued by Softbank's $2.25 billion investment in GM's Cruise Automation subsidiary. If Softbank is correct that GM's stake in Cruise Automation is worth around $9 billion, then the valuation of GM's traditional business is less than 5x EPS10, which seems absurdly cheap. GM now trades near the price where it went public in 2010 ($33). Since then, the company has cumulatively earned more than $33/share and paid out nearly $7 in dividends. Critics of the stock will point to the current economic cycle, tariffs and the long-term threat from autonomous vehicles and ride-sharing. These concerns fail to take into account our estimate that nearly 75% of GM's earnings come from pickup trucks and large SUVs—a market segment where the company has a dominant and protected competitive moat. We believe this part of the business alone is worth more than the current stock price, even without giving credit for Cruise or GM's valuable China business.

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
Transaction Activity
During the quarter, we initiated one new holding and also eliminated one. New holding Flex is undergoing a business transformation that should result in improved margins and less cyclical, faster earnings growth. A decade ago, the company, then known as Flextronics, looked like a classic contract manufacturer. Like its peers, the company had a concentrated customer base, composed almost entirely of electronics companies, and it would manufacture products to meet customer specifications. Contract manufacturers have few meaningful competitive advantages in the low-margin manufacturing business, as their main value-add is locating production in low-cost regions.
However, since Mike McNamara took over as CEO in 2006, Flex has been diversifying its customer base to include industries such as medical, automotive and even shoe manufacturing for Nike. The company is also investing in what it calls "sketch-to-scale" capabilities, in which Flex's engineers are actually involved in the design phase of customers' products. This is a better business than contract manufacturing due to higher barriers to entry, stickier customer relationships and higher profit margins. Sketch-to-scale arrangements account for about 27% of revenues today and should be close to 40% by 2020. Recently, the stock price has been hurt by worries about tariffs and component shortages, as well as a surge in new orders, which has pressured margins and free cash flow as the company has added capacity and inventory to fulfill these orders. None of these worries will have a meaningful impact on long-term business value, and at about 10x year next 12 months EPS10 plus amortization, the stock is much too cheap, given the durable earnings growth and high return on invested capital we see ahead.
The only portfolio elimination was Wells Fargo. The Fund has a substantial commitment to the financial industry generally, and we sold Wells Fargo to fund purchases of more attractively valued securities.
Fixed Income/Fund Distributions
Over the past few years, we have often argued that "income is overpriced," which is simply another way of saying that interest rates/dividend yields are too low. Recognize that this statement has consequences: if interest rates go up from these historically low levels, bond prices go down. Given that we have struggled to find true value in income for quite some time, we have maintained a conservative, risk-averse posture in our fixed income investing. This positioning has served us well this year. With the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield finally breaking through the 3% level, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index11 looks likely to be down for the year, only the fourth time since 1990.
The fixed income portion of our portfolio, however, has shown positive returns. Given the increase in interest rates, we are finally beginning to see more attractive opportunities in the fixed income market. Of course, the danger is that this increased competition from bonds could pull money away from stocks with negative consequences for equities, so we must not see this interest rate move as entirely positive. But we hope that the changing environment will give us the opportunity to increase portfolio yield and, thereby, allow for larger income distributions.
Periodically, we receive queries from shareholders along the following lines: "Why does a fund with the word 'income' in its name not provide more in the way of income distributions?" Although we are all too aware of our failings in managing this Fund, less than anticipated income may be the one that nags at us most. When we incepted the Fund in 1995, fixed income interest rates and equity dividend yields were much higher than what soon became available to us in managing the Fund. In 1995, we lived in a world where we could generate 5-8% yields in the bond portfolio and earn 2-4% dividend yields on stocks. This could allow for something like a 3% income yield on the Fund portfolio, which would be available for distribution to shareholders. Several things occurred to change this math, however. First, interest rates declined almost continuously until their 2016 bottom when the rate on the 10-year Treasury hit 1.36%. Second, corporate leaders deemphasized dividends in favor of share repurchases. And last but not least, equity prices rose, perforce reducing dividend yields.
As noted above, we are finally beginning to see more attractive opportunities in the fixed income market. We hope that the changing environment will give us the opportunity to increase portfolio yield and, thereby, allow for larger income distributions. We thank our shareholders for entrusting their assets to the Fund, especially our long-suffering income-oriented investors. We welcome your questions and comments.

The Oakmark Global Fund earned 0.1% in the quarter, trailing the 5.0% that the MSCI World Index12 generated and the 3.4% that the Lipper Global Fund Index13 returned. For the calendar nine months, the Fund lost 2.8%, compared to a return of 5.4% for the MSCI World Index and 2.7% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund earned 1.0%, which compares to 11.2% for the MSCI World Index and 7.6% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.
The countries that contributed most to return in the quarter were the U.S., Australia and India, while South Africa, Switzerland and the U.K. detracted from return. Mastercard (U.S.), Arconic (U.S.), CNH Industrial (U.K.), Oracle (U.S.) and Alphabet (U.S.) were the largest contributors to return, while Travis Perkins (U.K.), General Motors (U.S.), Naspers (South Africa), Bayer (Germany) and Julius Baer Group (Switzerland) detracted most.
Over the calendar nine months, the U.S., China and the Netherlands were the countries that contributed most to return—and, in fact, were the only ones to generate a positive return—while the U.K., Germany and Switzerland detracted. The companies whose stocks contributed most were all from the U.S.: Mastercard, Tenet Healthcare, Alphabet, Interpublic Group and National Oilwell Varco. The largest detractors from return were Daimler (Germany), Travis Perkins, General Motors, Credit Suisse (Switzerland) and Lloyds Banking Group (U.K.).
For the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, the U.S., Australia and India contributed most to return while the U.K., Switzerland and Mexico detracted. Again, the contributors for the period were all U.S.-domiciled: Mastercard, Alphabet, Tenet Healthcare, Bank of America and USG. The largest detractors for the 12 months were Daimler, Travis Perkins, General Electric (U.S.-sold), Grupo Televisa (Mexico) and Naspers.
After an exceptional 32% return in the previous fiscal 12 months, fiscal 2018 proved disappointing. The worldwide investing environment itself has been unusual: according to the Financial Times, "the relative performance of the S&P 500 versus the rest of the world is now at its most extreme level since 1970."14 We are fundamental value investors who seek to identify individual equities selling at a material discount to their intrinsic business value. As such, we do not make macro predictions such as "U.S. stocks will dominate non-U.S." We go wherever value takes us, and that led us to weight the Global Fund more heavily in non-U.S. issues. This proved unrewarding in fiscal 2018. (FYI, the MSCI World Index now has a 60% weight in U.S. equities, a larger than typical proportion resulting from the substantial
performance differential favoring the U.S.) The portfolio has also suffered from our heavy allocation to consumer discretionary industry companies. This sector includes sub-industries, such as automotive, entertainment/media and luxury goods. Outside of Japan, automotive has been quite weak as the stock market attempts to discount trade and tariff issues. The cable television/broadband/broadcasting sub-industry also performed badly in the period for a variety of company-specific reasons.
As you may well imagine, we think that the Global Fund portfolio is unusually attractive today and we have been adding to our personal Fund holdings. We have continued to shift assets from the U.S. allocation to international to take advantage of the exceptional opportunities available abroad. The current 45% U.S. allocation, down from nearly 47% at the end of June, underrepresents the degree of this shift because of the disproportionate returns the U.S. generated versus international in the period. Value investors are often cursed with making their investment decisions too early. As we reallocate, we believe that we are identifying significant value opportunities that will be the foundation of future returns. We thank our shareholders for their patience.
Portfolio Activity
As noted above, 2018 has been a year of unusual divergences in the securities markets. Most non-U.S. markets have languished, with emerging markets particularly hard hit. In contrast, the U.S. has experienced material, if uneven, outperformance, led primarily by growth equities. In managing the Oakmark Global Fund, we seek to invest in the most undervalued equities while considering corporate governance issues, portfolio tax implications and prospectus guidelines. During the quarter, we increased the international allocation as valuation parameters continued to shift. The new purchases were Continental (Germany) and Ryanair (Ireland), while the one sale was MTU Aero Engines (Germany).
Continental's stock price has fallen due to industry-wide concerns about auto production volumes and tariffs, but we believe the company has superior end-market exposures and a lower risk profile than many of its peers. Continental's tire business accounts for about 45% of the company's earnings, and we find that it generates solid margins and returns relative to industry peers. Replacement tires account for a large portion of segment earnings and provide a meaningful source of stable growth, which gives the company an advantage over auto supplier peers, especially in an economic downturn scenario.

company recently optimized its footprint of large, modern factories in low-cost countries. This strategy benefits Continental, compared to other global tire manufacturers that are burdened with onerous legacy cost structures in smaller, less-automated plants, which are difficult and costly to shutter. The company also has leading market share in concentrated segments of the automotive components business, where it derives a good amount of revenue from high value-added components. We expect increasing trends for vehicle electrification and autonomous driving will provide significant, ongoing growth in this part of Continental's business. In addition, we think management has done a good job improving the company by taking action to deleverage the business, enhance profitability and drive organic growth.
Ryanair is the leading low-cost airline in Europe, and its structurally advantaged cost structure should enable it to continue to take market share from its less efficient competitors. Ryanair's share price has suffered recently as a result of flight cancellations and pilot disruptions, as the company negotiates new contracts with its employees. We believe this disruption will be temporary as Ryanair's enhanced offer is now in excess of what pilots can earn at competing airlines, and we are seeing encouraging signs of acceptance. Importantly, the company will still have a far more efficient cost structure than competitors and its new labor agreement should enable the airline to replicate its low-cost offerings in new locations. We like that Ryanair is the leading ultra-low-cost carrier in Europe and that it has a strong management team that is focused on maximizing operational efficiencies to provide the lowest cost service in the region. Ryanair ranks among the best performers with regard to punctuality, canceled flights, mishandled bags and technical capability. From January 2010 to July 2017, the company had the best on-time performance in Europe each month, with the exception of one month in 2012. In addition to its low-cost structure, Ryanair has gained market share by flying into secondary airports with lower landing fees, undercutting flag carriers. The company is now the largest competitor among the low-cost carriers and possesses a 15% market share of the total intra-Europe market, and it has plans for a 22% market share by 2024. Moreover, Ryanair has a strong direct distribution platform and maintains an all Boeing 737 fleet, allowing it to make large single aircraft orders and realize procurement benefits, as well as to standardize pilot training, maintenance and utilization of spare parts. We also appreciate Ryanair's strong balance sheet, which helps it navigate turbulent markets, as well as its strong free cash flow.
MTU's strong returns reduced our margin of safety on the investment, and we exited our position as the market price approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We recycled the MTU profits into investments with better risk/return profiles.
On September 26, USG Corporation shareholders voted to approve the company's acquisition by a private German business, and although this transaction is not complete yet, a review of this holding seems appropriate. We began purchasing USG shares for the Fund in May 2015, believing that the company's position in wallboard and structural ceiling tile was undervalued. We spent five months gradually building the position in the portfolio to an appropriate size. The stock was volatile over the next three years as the company's earnings stream proved to be rather inconsistent. We stuck with the holding, however, with occasional sales to fund more pressing
demands on the portfolio's cash. In early 2018, the share price rose to the $40 level, which approached our sell target. We began cutting back the holding to fund more attractive opportunities. In June, the company agreed to be acquired for $43.50 in cash, and we sold more shares both to reduce the Fund's exposure to the risk of the deal breaking and because the spread between the deal price and the market price was less rewarding than for other securities we were considering. Assuming completion of this transaction early next year, USG overall will have generated a compound annualized return in the mid-teens for the Fund—not heroic, but a solid example of our identifying an issue selling for materially less than an investor would pay to own it in its entirety. We thank the USG management team for their excellent work for the Fund's shareholders.
Currency Hedge
We defensively hedge a portion of the Fund's exposure to currencies that we believe to be overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As of quarter end, we found only the Swiss franc to be overvalued and have hedged approximately 19% of the Fund's franc exposure.
As always, we thank you for being our partners in the Oakmark Global Fund. We invite you to send us your comments or questions.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund declined 0.9% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, underperforming the MSCI World Index12, which returned 11.2%. For the most recent quarter, the Fund returned 1.8%, compared to the MSCI World Index's return of 5.0%. However, the Fund has returned an average of 8.2% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 6.1% over the same period.
You should know that, as fellow shareholders, we recognize our results have recently disappointed and we, too, are not pleased. Our recent performance has been driven primarily by short-term, macroeconomic fears that are not at all indicative of the long-term underlying value we see at the company level. We believe the market will eventually recognize the inherent strength we see in these franchises, which should result in higher stock prices and better performance. As a reflection of our confidence, we have been adding significant amounts of personal capital to the Funds over the past several months. Here are some specific details on the portfolio's performance drivers.
Mastercard, the second largest payment system in the U.S., was the largest contributor for the fiscal year. The conversion of paper-based to electronic forms of payments continues to benefit the company. We believe Mastercard is a great business with years of secular growth ahead, but sold our shares in August as the price approached our estimate of intrinsic value.
CNH Industrial, a U.K.-based global agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer, was the largest contributor for the quarter. Earnings increased by double-digit rates across all divisions in the second quarter, led by agriculture equipment (up 52%) and construction equipment, with strong demand across all regions. Due to the company's increased second-quarter profitability, combined with the expectations of a lower tax rate, management upgraded earnings guidance, albeit a bit cautiously. Management indicated that the trade wars have not meaningfully affected demand, but the company's guidance includes an undisclosed buffer in case this occurs. The improved earnings and guidance upgrades are particularly reassuring given the recent management changes and broader macroeconomic concerns. We continue to believe CNH remains attractively priced, adding to our confidence in the upside potential of this investment.
General Electric (GE), a U.S.-based global producer of industrial, household and medical goods, was the largest detractor for the quarter and for the fiscal year. Plainly said, our investment in
GE has been a disappointment. Over the past year, the company has announced a large legacy insurance reserve charge, had significant problems in its Power division and has replaced many executives. Management has been adjusting the portfolio of businesses, spinning off and selling a number of assets in order to achieve appropriate capital returns and cash flows. Although these changes take time, we believe this approach will ultimately benefit shareholders. On October 1, GE announced the immediate departure of CEO John Flannery, replacing him with former Danaher CEO Larry Culp. In the announcement, the company also withdrew 2018 guidance due to underperformance in the Power division, writing down nearly all of the division's $24 billion in goodwill. Despite the reduced guidance and goodwill write-down, the stock was up 7%. We believe that investors reacted favorably to Culp's appointment because of his extensive experience in the industrial sector and his credibility among long-time analysts. GE has been a very frustrating holding. However, we continue to remain shareholders because we believe the stock has declined more than warranted and that its intrinsic value is well above the current quote.
During the quarter, we sold our shares in Mastercard and used the proceeds to purchase Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (U.S.), the worldwide manufacturer of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Recent weakness in the automotive sector combined with disappointing second-quarter earnings provided us an opportunity to purchase Fiat at very compelling prices.
Geographically, 47% of the Fund's holdings were invested in U.S. companies as of September 30, while approximately 53% were allocated to equities in Europe and the U.K.
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 19% 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 declined 6.3% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index15, which returned 2.7% over the same period. For the most recent quarter, the Fund underperformed the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, falling 0.9%, compared to the benchmark's return of 1.3%. However, the Fund has returned an average of 9.7% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 6.1% per year over the same period.
You should know that, as fellow shareholders, we recognize our results have recently disappointed and we, too, are not pleased. Our recent performance has been driven primarily by short-term, macroeconomic fears that are not at all indicative of the long-term underlying value we see at the company level. We believe the market will eventually recognize the inherent strength we see in these franchises, which should result in higher stock prices and better performance. As a reflection of our confidence, we have been adding significant amounts of personal capital to the Funds over the past several months. Here are some specific details on the portfolio's performance drivers.
Ashtead Group, a U.K.-based construction and industrial equipment rental company, was the largest contributor for the fiscal year. Sunbelt, the U.S. rental division of the company, accounts for over 80% of Ashtead's revenue and nearly 90% of its operating profit. Sunbelt is the dominant second player in a highly fragmented market and experienced 20% revenue growth for the fiscal year, four times that of the industry. The structural shift toward renting equipment continues, and the number of longer term projects is also increasing. Historically, customers bought equipment for longer term projects, but increasingly, they are now choosing to rent instead. The shift to longer term equipment rental shows that customers have grown more comfortable with the equipment rental model, which allows customers to procure well-maintained equipment at the right location at the right time and also helps reduce capital intensity. Ashtead's management team has diversified into highly profitable new end markets by leveraging existing routes to market. We believe the company has significant scale advantages, has opportunities for strong growth and is run by an excellent management team.
H&M, a Swedish-based global fashion retailer, was the largest contributor for the quarter. While third-quarter profits were somewhat lower than expected, we believe the most recent financial results contain signs of underlying improvement. The four markets impacted by a previously disclosed logistics issue reported an 8% drop in local currency sales. However, the remaining 66 markets, which account for approximately 76% of group sales, experienced sales growth of 8% in local currency. This highlights a material improvement in performance of the undisturbed markets. Management has noted that the logistics issues have largely been resolved and the company expects a
lower financial impact in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the company's online sales were up 32% and new business sales were up 15% during the quarter. Management is also significantly improving the company's collections and better positioning the business for an omnichannel retail world. While the company still has some challenges to overcome, the most recent results have increased our confidence in our investment in H&M and its future performance.
BNP, one of the largest banking franchises in Europe with headquarters in France, was the largest detractor for the fiscal year. During the year, the company has reported mixed results. Most recently, BNP released fiscal 1H results that included year-over-year declines in revenue, pre-provision profit and operating income. However, these declines were largely due to one-time events, including an outsized regulatory tax payment. Additionally, the company has been focused on a cost transformation project that is front-end loaded, so it should start generating greater net savings in 2019 and 2020. Management has reiterated a cost-to-income target of 63% for 2020, which is in line with our expectations and it continues to target a 12% capital ratio. Lastly, recent events in Turkey have weighed on the company's share price, but we consider BNP's exposure to this market to be immaterial at 2.5% of total pre-tax profit.
Continental, a German-based company that is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of tires, automotive parts and industrial products, was the largest detractor for the quarter. Investors reacted negatively to the company's profit warning, which was attributed to three key issues: warranties, revenue shortfall and operational issues. Management decided to take a warranty provision to cover all outstanding product warranty issues in the powertrain division. The majority of the revenue shortfall occurred in the automotive side of the business, where two OEM customers significantly lowered their call-offs for the rest of the year. The operational issues were attributed to plants in NAFTA regions that suffered underutilization. Because management didn't react accordingly, the company missed its cost targets, but Continental believes restructuring can address this issue by next year. The company also had trouble ramping up production to meet customer demands for 48-volt technology. On top of these company-specific issues, Continental has traded down on the back of industry-wide concerns about auto production volumes and tariffs, but we believe the company has superior end-market exposures and a lower risk profile than many of its peers. Continental's tire division has an optimized footprint, consisting of large, modern factories in low-cost countries. This benefits the company compared with other global tire manufacturers that are burdened with onerous legacy cost structures in smaller, less-automated plants, which are difficult and costly to shutter. Continental also has leading market share in concentrated segments of the automotive components business. In addition, we expect that the increasing trends of

autonomous and connected driving will provide significant, ongoing growth in this part of the company's business. Finally, we think that the current management team has done a good job improving Continental by taking action to deleverage the business, enhance profitability and drive organic growth.
During the quarter, we removed Philips (Netherlands), Safran (France), Sanofi (France) and Swatch Group (Switzerland). We added five new names to the Fund during the quarter: Accor (France), a global hospitality company; Brambles (Australia), a pooling solutions company that specializes in the provision of reusable pallets, crates and containers; Komatsu (Japan), a global manufacturer and retailer of building and mining equipment; OMRON (Japan), a global electronics company best known for its industrial automation division that focuses on electronic controls such as sensor, timers, relays and counter; and thyssenkrup (Germany), an industrial conglomerate that derives the majority of its revenue from elevator and components technology.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 79% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 6% in Asia ex Japan and 5% in Japan. The remaining positions are in North America, Africa, Australasia and Latin America.
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 20% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.
Thank you for your support!

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund returned –6.4% for the fiscal year that ended September 30, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index18, which returned 3.4% for the same period. Similarly, the Fund underperformed the benchmark for the recent quarter end, returning –4.1%, compared to the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index return of –0.9% for the period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 9.2% per year.
Please know that as fellow shareholders, we are not pleased with these performance results. Our recent Fund performance has been driven primarily by short-term, macroeconomic fears that are not at all indicative of the long-term underlying value we are seeing at company levels. As in the past when we've experienced periods of underperformance, we believe the market will eventually recognize the inherent strength that we see in these companies that should result in higher stock prices and better performance. As a reflection of our confidence in our valuations of these franchises, we have been adding personal capital to the Funds over the last several months. Here are some specific details on the Fund's performance drivers for the quarter and fiscal year ending September 30th.
The top-contributing stock for the quarter was Megacable Holdings, a Mexican cable operator. The company produced strong sales and earnings during the first half of this year, driven by subscriber growth in both internet and video services. Sales were up 14%, while margins expanded over 200 basis points. In addition, Megacable's corporate segment has also experienced robust growth. Overall, broadband penetration in Mexico remains in the low-to-mid 50% range and we believe the company will continue to benefit from higher penetration in the future.
For the fiscal one-year period, the top-contributing stock to performance was Atea, a Nordic and Baltic supplier of IT infrastructure. This year, the company has reported strong earnings for both fiscal-year 2017 and the first half of 2018. These results were driven primarily by very strong growth in Sweden and significant margin expansion in Norway. Atea's growth is occurring across both its products and services, with particularly strong demand coming from public sector customers. Also, the legal case regarding the 2015 bribery scandal surrounding the prior management team in Denmark finally came to a conclusion during the period and the company will suffer few direct financial consequences. As a result, Atea has gone through an extensive self-cleaning process and is the only company in Denmark to attain the highest level of anti-bribery certification, which increases our confidence in the investment. Given its broad customer base, the company is well-positioned to grow profitably and it continues to trade at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
The largest detractor to the Fund's performance for the quarter was Travis Perkins, a U.K.-based builders' merchant and home improvement retailer. The company's first-half earnings report proved concerning to investors, as Wickes (DIY retailer) reported a 35% year-over-year decline in EBIT19, which caused management to reduce its full-year EBIT forecasts for the group by about 3%. The performance at Wickes was a disappointment to us, but
Travis' core merchanting operations (which account for 80% of group EBIT) continue to perform well, despite a challenging U.K. operating environment. Travis' share price declined approximately 20% following the first-half earnings release, which seems particularly harsh in light of mid-single-digit downgrade to earnings. We used this share weakness as an opportunity to add to our position. Although the company's near-term demand outlook remains uncertain because of issues surrounding Brexit, we see significant opportunity in Travis because of its best-in-class management team and the likely uptick in U.K. housing transactions over the next three to five years.
The largest detractor from performance for the one-year period was Mitie Group. Mitie is a U.K.-based support services company, providing outsourced cleaning, engineering and security services. Mitie is a restructuring story with new management taking over in December 2016, following a series of operational and accounting issues under the former management team. New management began implementing its turnaround plan in the summer of 2017, and after an initial period of success, progress recently slowed as the company needed to increase expenditures to make further technology investments, hire additional operational managers and improve service levels on existing contracts. Although Mitie's bottom line has not improved so far in 2018, we believe the business is in a much better position than it was a year ago as evidenced by its improved NPS scores, new business wins and positive third-party feedback from competitors. The company's recent share price weakness reflects both the company-specific issues we discussed above, as well as sector issues, as seen in the problems of Mitie's competitors, including Carillion's bankruptcy and Capita's trouble raising much-needed capital. With Mitie currently trading at less than 9x forward earnings, we believe it represents a compelling value.
We initiated one new holding in the Fund this quarter: ConvaTec Group, a U.K.-based manufacturer of medical devices and provider of other related services. The company focuses on solutions for ostomy, urology, incontinence and wound care. Products produced by ConvaTec range from antimicrobial and foam dressings to drainage systems and catheters. We eliminated positions in APN Outdoor (Australia), MTU Aero Engines (Germany) and Sabanci Holdings (Turkey) during the quarter.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 15% of our holdings in Asia, 68% in Europe and the U.K., and 8% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 4% in North America (Canada) and 5% in Latin America (Mexico and Brazil).
We continue to believe both the Swiss franc and Norwegian krone are overvalued versus the U.S. dollar. As a result, we defensively hedged 19% of the Fund's franc exposure and 23% of the krone exposure.
In closing, we'd like to thank you, our shareholders, for your patience and continued support. As long-term value investors, we will continue to focus on finding attractive, undervalued foreign companies with management teams dedicated to building shareholder value.

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 year ended September 30, 2018.
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 divided 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 deter abusive trading activities and 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 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 p.m. 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. In the event an option is out-of-the money and no bid is available, a zero value may be assumed as the bid for purposes of calculating the mean of the most recent bid and ask 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 assumptions of Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") 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 own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2018, in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities.

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, 2018, 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 forward foreign currency contract table included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
At September 30, 2018, 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 are 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, 2018, 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") and are listed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the notional value of forward foreign currency contracts opened and the notional value of settled contracts is listed by Fund in the table below (in thousands):
Fund | | Currency Contracts Opened | | Currency Contracts Settled | |
Global | | $ | 112,596 | | | $ | 117,613 | | |
Global Select | | | 196,600 | | | | 175,903 | | |
International | | | 1,983,751 | | | | 1,759,948 | | |
Int'l Small Cap | | | 93,956 | | | | 105,494 | | |
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 on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method. Premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-earliest call 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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 used options written for tax management purposes during the period ended September 30, 2018. Written options outstanding, if any, are listed on each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
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 year ended September 30, 2018.
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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 September 30, 2018, 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. During the year ended September 30, 2018, Int'l Small Cap borrowed money from International. The loan in the amount of $90 million was initiated on July 17, 2018, and was repaid in full on July 19, 2018. The interest rate on the borrowing was 2.216%. The total interest paid by Int'l Small Cap to International was $7,386.
Restricted securities
Each Fund may invest in restricted securities, which generally are considered illiquid, but such illiquid securities may not comprise over 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. Management has determined that no income tax provision for uncertain tax positions is required in the accompanying Financial Statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2018, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through January 28, 2019, to waive the advisory fee otherwise payable to it by the following percentages with respect to each Fund: 0.043% for Oakmark; 0.074% for Select; 0.099% for Equity and Income; 0.059% for Global; 0.066% for Global Select; and 0.052% 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 advisory fees waived for each Fund are included in the Statement of Operations.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through January 28, 2019, to reimburse each Fund Class to the extent, but only to the extent that the 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.

The Adviser is entitled to recoup from assets attributable to any Fund Class 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 that Class' total operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation or to exceed any lower limit in effect at the time of recoupment. Any such repayment must be made within three fiscal years after the year in which the reimbursement occurred. As of September 30, 2018, there were no amounts subject to recoupment.
The Adviser has voluntarily reimbursed certain of the Funds for a portion of Transfer Agency costs. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Adviser reimbursed $4,477 and $88,483 to Oakmark and International for transfer agency expenses related to Institutional Class Shares. These amounts are not subject to recovery under the contractual expense reimbursement agreement described above.
The Adviser and/or 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Harris Associates Investment Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Harris Associates Investment Trust, comprised of the 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"), including the schedules of investments as of September 30, 2018, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting the Harris Associates Investment Trust as of September 30, 2018, and 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 and Oakmark Equity and Income Funds: 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 Funds' 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 that 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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
(a) Registrant has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that applies to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.
(b) No disclosures are required by Item 2(b).
(c) During the period covered by the report, no amendments were made to the provisions of the Code.
(d) During the period covered by the report, Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from the provisions of the Code.
(e) Not applicable.
(f) A copy of the Code is incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s Form N-CSR, Investment Company Act file number 811-06279 (filed November 25, 2015). 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, 2018 | | Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2017 | |
Audit Fees(1) | | $ | 253,000 | | $ | 262,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees(2) | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees(3) | | $ | 39,700 | | $ | 39,700 | |
All Other Fees(4) | | $ | 256,944 | | $ | 47,268 | |
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.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 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 $256,944 and $47,268, 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.
(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 audit committee of Registrant’s board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by Registrant’s principal accountant to Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 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
