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.

Kristi L. Rowsell
President of the Oakmark Funds
President of Harris Associates L.P.
In my September 30th president's letter, I discussed the events of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. This included the challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic for people all over the world and the many steps we at Harris Associates have taken to adapt to these difficult circumstances. I also outlined upcoming changes to our share classes, cost structure and leadership team.
I am sending this letter to share some important recent updates since that time.
Share Class Changes
As discussed in my last letter, we have revised our share class lineup and fee structure in order to reduce our overall costs and enhance our competitive position in the marketplace, especially with retirement plans. Our Advisor, Institutional and newly created R6 Classes are expected to have lower expense ratios going forward.
These changes are on track and scheduled to roll out on December 15. Please look for our upcoming prospectus update for more details and eligibility criteria. As always, we are available to assist you at 1-800-Oakmark from Monday through Friday during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
Oakmark Bond Fund
We are pleased to announce the addition of the Oakmark Bond Fund to our mutual fund family. For decades, Harris Associates has managed fixed-income strategies for individual investors and as part of the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. Over the past several years, we have built additional capabilities in this area and are now offering this expertise in a new Oakmark mutual fund. This diversified portfolio of bonds and other fixed-income securities will reflect the same bottom-up investment process and value
discipline applied to our equity portfolios. The Oakmark Bond Fund formally launched on June 10 under the guidance of Co-Portfolio Managers Adam Abbas and Colin Hudson. Since the Fund's inception date, it has gained enough assets to provide full diversification and to offer the Fund at a reasonable cost to investors. We have included the September 30th portfolio of investments and manager commentary for this Fund in this annual report.
Personal Investments in the Oakmark Funds
Each year, we share our level of personal investments in the Oakmark Funds as a demonstration of our belief in our investment philosophy. We want you to know that we stand beside you as fellow investors and that we, too, experience the same performance, tax consequences and client service as you do. We are proud to report that as of September 30, 2020, the value of Oakmark Funds owned by Harris Associates employees, our families, the Funds' officers and our trustees was more than $585 million. This is a substantial increase from the past year as opportunistic purchases were made during the down markets and as seed capital was accumulated for the Oakmark Bond Fund. We share this information as a testament to our personal conviction that our Funds remain attractive investments for the future.
Leadership Transitions
At year-end, Allan Reich will retire as trustee and chair of the Oakmark Board of Trustees. On behalf of Harris Associates and all of the trustees, we sincerely thank Allan for his 27 years of exemplary service. Our fund family has benefited from his seasoned wisdom about fund governance and his tireless commitment to effective communication between board members, including among board members

President's Letter (continued)
and Harris Associates. His distinguished legal career, in addition to his leadership with industry organizations, made him an influential and well-respected voice. We wish Allan the very best. We are happy that Tom Hayden will serve as chair starting in January. He has served on the Oakmark Board for 25 years. Tom is on the faculty of Northwestern University's Integrated Marketing Communication program, following a 30-year career in marketing and advertising. He brings considerable experience in the fields of law, policy, ethics and data governance to the board.
To close, I would like to report that our transition efforts for my retirement are going very well. Rana Wright, while continuing in her role as general counsel, will be elevated to chief administrative officer of Harris Associates and will become president of the Oakmark Funds on January 1. Chris Keller will be elevated from chief operating officer to president of Harris Associates. I will stay with the firm through the first quarter of 2021 to support these transitions.
As always, we appreciate your continued support of the Oakmark Funds.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The following table provides information about actual account values and actual Fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, 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, 2020, by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the number in the "Actual—Expenses Paid During Period" column shown below.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for shares of each Fund based on actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or actual expenses shareholders paid for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical—Expenses Paid During Period" column of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, the total costs would have been higher.

At Oakmark, we are long-term investors. We attempt to identify growing businesses that are managed to benefit their shareholders. We will purchase stock in those businesses only when priced substantially below our estimate of intrinsic value. After purchase, we patiently wait for the gap between stock price and intrinsic value to close.
Are large-cap stocks really less risky?
The large-cap universe, which refers to the 250 stocks with the highest market capitalizations, is getting smaller. There were 40 newcomers to the large-cap universe in just the past year and they are much smaller businesses than those that exited. The median level of sales for these new additions was just under $2.4 billion. Compare that to the companies that exited the large-cap universe: only two of them had sales below $2.4 billion and their median sales was nearly $14 billion. The reason those new additions are now considered large cap is because the market is valuing them highly relative to their sales. The median new large-cap stock is selling at nearly 13 times its trailing sales. The companies no longer considered large cap are selling at just 1.4 times sales. Big businesses, such as Schlumberger, Phillips 66, Southwest Airlines and Dollar Tree, no longer qualify as large cap having been displaced by the likes of Square, Splunk and Snap.
Why is this important? Investors typically view large-cap stocks as less risky than small-cap stocks—and we would normally agree. Large companies usually have longer histories, more consistent profit margins and predictable competitive dynamics. As an example, it is easier to forecast the market shares a decade from now for the large insurers than for emerging online gaming companies. It is less difficult to guess the future profit margin for a large food company than it is for a new payments company that has just turned profitable. One problem with thinking that large-cap stocks are less risky is if that classification is due to a large valuation multiple rather than a large underlying business. In that case, the investor faces magnified risk: the higher risk inherent in a small business combined with the extra risk associated with a high valuation multiple.
The biggest newcomer to the large-cap list this year was Zoom Video Communications. The company has a market cap of $134 billion and sells at nearly 100 times trailing sales. With so many people working from home, video conferencing has been a lifesaver. Most days I have multiple video calls. When people talk about changes from the past six months that are likely to outlast Covid-19, increased use of video conferencing is at the top of most lists. I use Zoom frequently and love the service. But I also use Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Apple FaceTime and Verizon BlueJeans Meetings. When I'm on a call, it's hard to remember which one I'm using because the services are so similar. Zoom's competitors are not underfunded startups, but rather are some of the biggest businesses in the world. While it is easy to project that video conferencing will grow over the next decade, there is a wide range in the growth estimates, and it is hard to predict what market shares will be, what the services will cost or what profit margins will look like. Zoom faces the uncertainties you'd expect for a young company with $1 billion of sales. But its future is much more uncertain
than you'd typically see from a $134 billion market-cap stock. Will Zoom stock perform well from here? I have no idea. But I do know the range of possible outcomes for the business is much wider than it is for most companies that enjoy a market cap above $100 billion.
One of our many financial holdings, Wells Fargo, has a market cap just under $100 billion, less than three-quarters of Zoom's cap. But Wells is one of the big three retail banks in the U.S. along with Bank of America (also a current portfolio holding) and JPMorgan. The demand for retail banking has been relatively predictable and has grown with GDP. Ten years ago, the same three banks were the largest. Due to economies of scale, their market share has grown over the past decade. It doesn't take much imagination to assume that 10 years from now, the banking industry will be larger than it is today and that these three competitively advantaged banks should have more market share. Banks have historically earned a low-to-mid teens return on their tangible equity, and we expect that to continue. The relatively narrow range of outcomes for any of the large banks stands in stark contrast to the very wide range for a small business like Zoom.
With many of the banks, including Wells and Bank of America, priced at single digit P/E ratios,1 we believe reversion to the mean is on our side. Financial stocks, including banks, have typically sold at about two-thirds of the S&P 5002 multiple. They are currently trading at seven to eight times pre-Covid-19 earnings. And if they have accurately estimated their Covid-19-related charge-offs, they should quickly return to those earnings. We believe they deserve P/E ratios at least 50% higher than their trailing P/E ratios,3 which would be consistent with their long-term average. And when (or if) interest rates eventually rise, they are expected to produce a further increase in earnings. Compared to the small businesses that are now large-cap stocks, we believe the banks are both less risky and have larger expected returns.
In the Oakmark Fund, we buy large businesses because we view them as less risky than small businesses. Rather than defining "large" based on market capitalization, we define it by business fundamentals: sales, net income or shareholders' equity (book value). If a company is in the 250 largest on any of those metrics, we consider it "large" and in our investible universe, regardless of its market capitalization. Typically, there isn't too much difference between the universe of large businesses and large-cap stocks. But at times when investors will seemingly pay any price for growth, small businesses with very high valuations begin crowding out big businesses from the large-cap universe.
Empirical Research tracks the price investors have been willing to pay for high growth. This chart compares the P/E multiples for fast growers to the lowest P/E companies.

It uses a proprietary list of 75 fast growers (combining sales growth and earnings growth over varying time periods to weed out cyclical companies recovering from a downturn) and compares their P/E to the 100 lowest P/E companies in a universe that mimics the Russell 1000 Value Index.4 As you can see, for nearly 70 years, with the exception of the spike during the internet bubble in 1999, the P/E on the highest growers has typically been two to three times the P/E for the cheapest stocks. In 1999, when value investing was as out of favor as it is today, investors were paying nine times as much for rapid growers as for low multiple stocks. That premium was three to four times larger than normal.
Today, like 20 years ago, the fast growers have P/E ratios nearly 10 times higher than the lowest multiple stocks. Although low interest rates and shortcomings of GAAP5 accounting could justify a somewhat higher multiple than the 2-3x frequently observed over the past 70 years, 10 times strikes us as extreme. That large valuation spread is causing a divergence between large businesses and large-cap stocks. Of the 40 stocks that fell out of the large-cap universe over the past year, 35 qualified as large businesses based on sales, income or book value. Of the 40 that replaced them, only 9 did. This roughly doubled the number of "small business large-cap" stocks compared to a year ago. In the Oakmark Select Fund, three holdings that were considered large cap a year ago—AIG International, EOG Resources and Hilton Worldwide—are now considered mid-cap stocks. In the Oakmark Fund, we bought 10 new stocks over the past year.
Despite us considering them large businesses, only five were classified as large cap at the time of purchase.
We faced a similar situation 20 years ago when the dot-com bubble peaked, and we wrote about it in the Oakmark Fund September 2000 report (https://oakmark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/10/2000-Annual93000.pdf):
Oakmark—A Large Company Fund
When investors categorize equity mutual funds, they generally look at two criteria: investment style and the size of the companies being purchased. For investment style—growth or value—The Oakmark Fund is clearly a value fund. All our energy goes into identifying and buying inexpensive stocks, selling them when they are no longer inexpensive, and then repeating the process. To categorize us based on the size of companies we purchase is more difficult. Since larger companies tend to have longer operating histories and more predictable earnings streams, they tend to be less risky investments. Therefore, many investors prefer mutual funds that focus on larger companies, as we do in The Oakmark Fund.
We believe The Oakmark Fund has always invested primarily in large companies. That's because when we think of large, we think of fundamental characteristics that measure the size of underlying businesses. Using measures like sales, net income or shareholders' equity, most of our investments have been and still are in stocks that are among the 250 largest businesses in the United States. But most organizations that categorize mutual funds look instead at how Wall Street values those businesses. For example, Morningstar calls the

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
250 stocks with the biggest market capitalizations "large cap." Based on their definition, a "large cap fund" primarily buys stocks that have market capitalizations over $10 billion. Because we own many stocks with market caps below $10 billion, in the last quarter Morningstar moved The Oakmark Fund from the "large cap value" to the "mid cap value" category.
This is important because we believe that investors who own funds that are still called "large cap" may not be getting the lower risk level they expect from investing in large companies. Last year, many small companies, mostly technology companies, had such high stock prices that they were categorized as large-cap stocks. By our count, the number of these small-company large-caps was five times as high as it was a decade ago! These stocks have a much higher risk profile than is typically associated with large companies. Avoiding these stocks is what has reduced the average market capitalization of our stock positions. The Oakmark Fund will continue buying stocks in large companies that we believe are priced at bargain levels. We believe this is simply acting rationally in a market that has priced many securities irrationally. And, if that means that, in this environment, our "large company value" fund gets categorized as "mid cap value," it just shows we are doing our job!
We believe those words of caution, which proved timely 20 years ago, are again applicable. If the price for growth remains this high or goes higher, we expect that more of our holdings will get classified as mid cap. Today, 250 companies have market caps above $26 billion, and to meet Morningstar's definition of large cap, companies now need a market cap of about $35 billion. (Morningstar now ranks companies by cap and sets the large-cap line at 70% of total public market cap.) Most of the large businesses our analysts are working on today have market caps below $35 billion. This means more of our new positions are likely to be mid cap than usual. Though our funds may look less large cap, it will be because we are doing the same thing we did in 2000 and have done for all the years since—buying big businesses that appear undervalued.

The Oakmark Fund increased 6.2% during the third quarter, compared to an 8.9% gain for the S&P 500 Index.2 For the fiscal year ending September 30, the Oakmark Fund increased 1.2%, trailing the 15.2% gain for the S&P 500. It's only fitting that unusual times produce unexpected outcomes, as illustrated by the fact that just four stocks in the S&P 500 drove approximately 70% of its total return over the past 12 months. Furthermore, the relative underperformance of the Russell 1000 Value Index4 against the S&P 500 is near an all-time high, with the former down 5% over the past fiscal year. Fortunately, we believe the magnitude of this atypically high performance dispersion presents an attractive investment environment for patient, value-oriented investors like Oakmark. Our disciplined investment process and long-term focus enable us to capitalize on dislocations between stock price and business value without having to speculate about short-term catalysts or to manage to a specific benchmark. This perspective has allowed us to outperform the market over the near 30-year life of the Oakmark Fund.
Our highest contributing securities for the fiscal year were Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Netflix and our largest individual detractors were Citigroup and Wells Fargo. For the quarter, our best performing securities were Ally Financial and Pinterest and our largest detractors were Citigroup and EOG Resources. Our strongest contributing sectors over the past fiscal year were communication services and health care and our biggest detractors were financials and energy. In our assessment, $40 per barrel is an unsustainably low price for oil and it fails to incentivize necessary U.S. and other non-OPEC production growth. We believe that our holdings in this sector can benefit from increased cost discipline and the potential for rising prices. Although energy makes up a small percentage of the Fund's total assets, we believe our holdings in this sector offer some of the highest upside potential and should benefit from a recovery in demand over the next several years.
During the quarter, we initiated new positions in CBRE Group and Keurig Dr Pepper and we eliminated positions in Match Group and Pinterest. We took advantage of the market's heightened volatility during the first calendar quarter of this year to establish positions in both Match Group and Pinterest, which had traded down significantly, despite attractive long-term fundamental outlooks, increased user engagement and strong balance sheets. While we rarely anticipate that our thesis will play out as expeditiously as it did for both companies, the market ended up agreeing with our thesis for each in short order, and both stocks approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We expect Match Group and Pinterest will continue to grow at above-average rates for the foreseeable future and we believe they are both well managed and well positioned in their respective industries. However, we elected to sell them to pursue more
attractive alternatives that were trading at steeper discounts to our estimates of intrinsic value.
If you carefully examine our portfolio holdings, you will see a number of options positions. As you know, while minimizing taxes is not a primary investment strategy at Oakmark, maximizing long-term after-tax returns is. Realizing tax losses on stocks we believe are still attractive is an important part of achieving that goal. The September market decline gave us the opportunity to take tax losses in several of our energy and financial stocks. To maintain some economic interest in those stocks, we sold out of the money put options. After the 30-day wash sale period expires, we want to repurchase those shares, which is what will happen if the stock price falls and we are assigned on the options. If the stock price increases, the premiums we received for writing the options will capture at least some of the gain that we will have missed out on. Despite having exited several of our long-term holdings that had appreciated substantially, we anticipate that our taxable capital gain distribution will be zero this year.
We appreciate your continued support and confidence in the Oakmark Fund. Below is a brief description of our new additions during the quarter:
CBRE Group, Inc. Class A
CBRE Group is the largest commercial real estate services firm in the U.S. The company has significant scale across its various service lines and geographies, enabling it to consistently invest more than its smaller peers into the research, tools and technology that customers value. This industry-leading value proposition has driven consistent share gains for CBRE in recent years as large clients have been attracted to the company's differentiated capabilities and the best brokers have been attracted by the steady stream of clients. We expect CBRE to continue to gain market share in this highly fragmented brokerage industry for many years to come while it further transitions away from transaction-driven commissions and toward contractual fee revenues. Outsized fears around work from home have caused the company to sell for less than 9x our estimate of mid-cycle earnings. We think this is a bargain price for this high-quality and well-managed business.
Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc.
Keurig Dr Pepper is one of North America's leading beverage companies and commands dominant positions in single-serve coffee and flavored sodas. We believe single-serve coffee pods will capture almost all of the incremental growth in at-home coffee consumption because coffee drinkers increasingly prefer K-Cups over drip brewing due to its greater convenience, quality, variety and value. Keurig's competitive advantages (low-cost production, the largest installed base of brewers, exclusive

brand partnerships) allow it to collect a toll on most pods sold in North America. The company's soda franchises remain highly profitable, and we do not expect health-related concerns about sugar to materially impact consumption trends. We believe that Keurig's brands should deliver steady growth, consistent market share gains and significant excess cash. We think the company is an above-average business trading at a meaningful discount to the broader market, its beverage peers and historical private market transactions.

The Oakmark Select Fund was up 5.2% for the quarter, trailing the S&P 500 Index's2 8.9% return. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, the Oakmark Select Fund decreased by 2.5%, compared to a 15.2% gain for the S&P 500 Index. As has been well-documented, this past year has continued a particularly difficult period for value managers; the Russell 1000 Value Index4 declined by 5.0% over the same 12-month period. We expect no capital gain distribution this year.
The most significant contributors to performance during the quarter were Ally Financial (+28%) and Charter Communications (+22%). For the full fiscal year, the most significant performers were Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (+102%) and Netflix (+87%). We continue to hold all four investments. Ally, Charter, and Netflix have large weights in the Fund, still selling at sizable discounts to our estimates of their intrinsic values despite their strong stock performance, while Regeneron is now a smaller position as its gap to value has narrowed more materially.
The most significant detractors from performance during the quarter were EOG Resources (-29%) and Citigroup (-15%). For the full year, the largest detractors were Citigroup (-35%) and Apache (-63%). All of these companies remain holdings in the Fund, and all continue to sell at a significant discount to our estimate of fair value.
Citigroup was our largest detractor for the period due to Covid-19-related concerns that have hurt the entire financial sector, as well as a handful of Citigroup-specific headlines that amplified near-term uncertainty. We believe that investors' short-term focus can cause them to miss the bigger picture. The company has remained profitable throughout the Covid-19 crisis to date. It continues to operate with significant excess capital relative to regulatory minimums, even as it has added more than $10.5B to credit reserves year to date. We believe the company is proving its resilience during a real-life stress test. Yet, despite this positive early evidence, Citigroup currently trades at only 60% of tangible book value and slightly over 5x 2019 earnings per share. Given that we think the company's normalized earnings power is greater than what it achieved in 2019, we find these valuation metrics especially attractive. As we move beyond the pandemic, we think investors' focus will shift to the underlying quality of the business and they will value the resilience Citigroup demonstrated during this crisis.
We bought one new position in the Fund this quarter, HCA Healthcare. HCA has been a longstanding holding in more diversified Oakmark portfolios, including the Oakmark Fund and the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. We were happy to take advantage of the pandemic-driven stock price volatility to add it to the Select Fund during the quarter. HCA is the largest operator of for-profit hospitals and related health care services in the U.S. The company benefits from scale and size
advantages, an attractive geographic footprint in higher growth markets, best-in-class management and governance, and an equity-friendly approach to capital allocation. Although the Covid-19 pandemic created disruptions across the hospital sector, we believe HCA's fundamentals have held up remarkably well. Management believes the company will be in an even stronger position coming out of the crisis than it was coming into it and that demand for health care services will be robust for years to come. As the economy normalizes, we expect HCA to resume growing its operating income in the mid-single digits. At less than 10x normal earnings, the shares are selling well below our estimate of intrinsic value.
We eliminated our position in Qurate Retail during the quarter. The company is still selling at a discount to our estimate of its intrinsic value; however, that discount has narrowed as its stock price benefitted from the increase in online shopping during the quarantine. As such, we don't believe the stock is attractive enough to merit holding in a concentrated portfolio.
Thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your continued investment in our Fund.

Quarter Review
The summer quarter mostly continued the process of recovery that the stock market experienced since its March panic bottom. September, however, lived up to its reputation for being the month most likely to see stocks decline. Economies worldwide continued to generate erratic recovery from the Covid-19-induced recession, and periodic resurgences of the virus depressed many service industries.
Oakmark Global gained 6.9% in the quarter, which compares to a gain of 7.9% for the MSCI World Index10 and 8.1% for the Lipper Global Fund Index. For the calendar nine months, the Fund lost 15.8%, compared to a 1.7% gain for the MSCI World Index and 2.4% for the Lipper Global Fund Index.11 Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, the Fund lost 6.7% and the MSCI World Index gained 10.4%, while the Lipper Global Fund Index gained 11.2%. Since inception, the Fund's compound annualized return rate is 8.7%.
For the quarter, the countries that contributed most to return were the U.S., Germany and Ireland, while the U.K., Belgium and South Africa detracted from return. Daimler (Germany), Pinterest (U.S.), TE Connectivity (U.S.), Mastercard (U.S.) and Tenet Healthcare (U.S.) were the largest contributors to returns, while Rolls-Royce Holdings (U.K.), Lloyds Banking Group (U.K.), Bayer (Germany), National Oilwell Varco (U.S.) and Citigroup (U.S.) detracted most.
Over the calendar nine months, South Africa, China and Taiwan were the countries that contributed most to return, while the U.K., U.S. and Switzerland detracted most. The companies whose stocks contributed most were Pinterest, Mastercard, CoreLogic (U.S.—sold), Alphabet (U.S.) and Liberty Broadband (U.S.). The largest detractors from return were Lloyds Banking Group, Rolls-Royce, Citigroup, CNH Industrial (U.K.) and Bank of America (U.S.). The fact that the five largest contributors were all U.S.-domiciled yet the U.S. was one of the countries that detracted most from return speaks to the extreme outcomes in this turbulent time period.
For the Fund's fiscal year, the U.S., Ireland and South Africa contributed most to return, while the U.K., Australia and Mexico were the largest detractors. For the second fiscal year in a row, Mastercard was the largest contributor, followed by Pinterest, Alphabet, Daimler and Liberty Broadband. Lloyds Banking Group, Rolls-Royce, CNH Industrial, Citigroup and Howmet Aerospace (U.S.) detracted most from return for the 12 months.
The lists of detractors above collectively include almost all of the Fund's banking industry holdings and the Fund's entire financials sector has been the largest detractor throughout the
fiscal year. This reflects many factors. Central banks have suppressed interest rates across the developed world, which depresses the profit margins on banks' loan books. As well, banks have vigorously increased their reserves for bad debts in response to the Covid-19 crisis, even though actual losses incurred to date are not consistent with a major downturn. Indeed, after selling off during the early days of the pandemic, corporate bond prices now reflect an expectation of rapid recovery. Nevertheless, banks have put their share repurchase plans on hiatus and some have cut or eliminated dividends. Banks' substantial capital positions have virtually eliminated the chance that they will need to raise capital and, therefore, dilute their balance sheets. Yet share prices that declined when the Covid-19 crisis hit have not yet bounced back. In perhaps a more dramatic demonstration of the industry's poor relative market performance, 10 years ago European banks accounted for six times technology's share of the Eurozone market index while today their respective shares are roughly equal.
Value investors must decide whether the drop in bank share prices properly reflects evolving circumstance or is an overstated case. We have concluded the latter and believe that the passing of the Covid-19 crisis will allow the undervaluation to become clear. European banks are generally priced at half of book value (and in some cases even less), so modest improvements in their operating environment can have leveraged positive effects on valuations. U.S. banks are more highly valued today, reflecting stronger home market economic conditions, but they still offer considerable value if conditions ever normalize. At that time, we expect share repurchases to accelerate intrinsic value per share growth. Although holdings in this industry have proven painful in 2020, we expect future outcomes to be rewarding.
Transaction Activity
We were rather active in the quarter, culling several small holdings and initiating one new name. These actions, combined with the solid performance of U.S. stocks, resulted in a 1% increase in the Fund's U.S. allocation. The U.S. retains the largest weighting in our portfolio, but it still falls well below the ever-increasing U.S. weight in the MSCI World Index. We do not think the index's overweight in the U.S. reflects economic reality. Nevertheless, given continual U.S. outperformance, our relative underweighting has not helped the portfolio.
During the quarter, we eliminated four holdings—two U.S. and two international. On the U.S. side, we sold EOG Resources to harvest a tax loss. We continue to believe that EOG is one of the best positioned energy producers, but current economic activity has not rewarded that position. In our June letter, we

Oakmark Global Fund September 30, 2020
Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
wrote about the takeover offer that another holding, CoreLogic, had received. Because of this offer, the stock attained a price close to our estimate of intrinsic value and we sold our shares to purchase more attractive names.
On the international side, we disposed of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) and LafargeHolcim. TSMC was sold as its share price approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We used this capital to allocate to securities with more attractive risk-reward profiles. We sold LafargeHolcim to opportunistically fund a position in Anheuser-Busch Inbev (ABI). ABI is the world's largest brewer and its global 27% market share is more than twice the volume of the #2 player. Importantly, its dominant market share positions, strong brands and vertical integration allow it to generate industry-leading margins, returns and cash flows. ABI's significant scale advantage enables it to earn more than 4x the profitability of the #2 player. The majority of the company's profitability is derived from developing markets where duopoly market structures, growing per capita income and premiumization drive attractive growth and profitability. ABI is a good example of finding opportunities during times of volatility. We have long covered the company and admired the franchise from afar, but our strict valuation criteria kept us on the sidelines. However, when the share price fell by nearly 50% due to shorter term Covid-19 concerns, we quickly ramped up our research and initiated a position. Covid-19-related closures of bars and restaurants have depressed recent operating performance, which has hurt sales in the on-trade channel and pressured the stock price. Nevertheless, we expect these headwinds will prove short term. We think that ABI's scale should enable it to outperform smaller peers during this pandemic. Notably, the company's debt structure has been smartly termed out, so it has plenty of liquidity to invest while navigating the pandemic. ABI's management has done an excellent job of creating long-term value and its interests are aligned with shareholders.
Currency Hedges
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 the Swiss franc to be overvalued and have hedged approximately 17% 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 returned 1.5% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, underperforming the MSCI World Index,10 which returned 10.4%. For the most recent quarter, the Fund returned 6.4%, compared to the benchmark's return of 7.9%. More importantly, the Fund has returned an average of 6.7% per year since its inception in October 2006, outperforming the MSCI World Index's annualized gain of 6.1% over the same period.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company, was the top contributor for the fiscal year as management advanced both marketed drugs and their pipeline of new treatments. With regards to marketed drugs, Eylea and Dupixent both continued to increase the number of patients treated for blindness and immune disorders, respectively. In addition, one of Eylea's competitors encountered safety issues, which removed a significant risk to Regeneron. Separately, management advanced potential new treatments for immuno-oncology and rare diseases. They also reacted quickly to the Covid-19 pandemic by developing an antibody treatment for infected patients, which demonstrated initial efficacy. Lastly, management repurchased more than $5 billion of shares at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
Daimler, a global luxury automotive and truck manufacturer based in Germany, was the largest contributor for the quarter. Considering the operating environment, we were happy with the company's second-quarter earnings results, specifically in Mercedes-Benz cars and vans. Despite Mercedes-Benz cars' and vans' volumes being down 22% and 29% year-to-date, respectively, the revenue is only down 14.8%. We think this reflects significant product mix benefits within both markets along with resilient pricing dynamics. China also contributed to the company's solid performance, delivering 17% year-over-year growth, even though the overall Chinese auto market was down 4%. In addition, free cash flow was significantly stronger than had been expected, which we believe is a result of management's stringent focus on improving Daimler's cash flow generation. As a result, the company ended the second quarter with a strong net financial position. Management's earnings guidance was also better than had been expected. These results reflect well on the new management team.
Lloyds Banking Group, a dominant retail bank in the U.K., was the largest detractor for the fiscal year. The company's fiscal-year results fell short of expectations. Results were also weaker than our estimates, which we attributed to 2019's very difficult operating environment, one that was dominated by uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the formation of a U.K. government.
The company's results for the first half of 2020 were also disappointing, primarily because of Covid-19. Total revenue from core operations declined 16% from a year ago and operating profit realized a loss of GBP 281 million, driven by a significant impairment provision charge. Management stated that the larger than anticipated provision amount was due to a significantly depressed economic outlook. However, Lloyds' loan book continues to perform well and actual defaults to date remain stable. Despite the difficult operating environment, the company is well capitalized. Its Tier 1 ratio is 14.6% and it holds GBP 11.8 billion more in excess capital than regulations require. We believe that Lloyds has the preeminent retail banking franchise in a consolidated U.K. market and that its balance sheet has improved greatly in recent years, possessing strong levels of capital, liquidity and reserves. Overall, we find that Lloyds is trading at a large discount to our estimate of the company's intrinsic value and that it remains an attractive investment. Bayer, a German-based company with sizable businesses in pharmaceuticals, agricultural productivity and consumer health products, was the largest detractor for the quarter.
During the quarter, we sold our holdings of Kuehne + Nagel (Switzerland), Reckitt Benckiser Group (U.K.) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (U.S.) as they approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We also sold our investment in LafargeHolcim (Switzerland) during the quarter as we identified other investments that offered a better risk-return profile. We initiated positions in Alibaba, Compass Group, Fresenius Medical Care and HCA Healthcare.
Alibaba (China) is one of the largest internet platforms in China and a market leader in several businesses, including e-commerce, cloud computing and fintech (via the company's partial ownership in Ant Financial). The management team has proven itself to be quite astute and has used its significant data advantage to position the company at the forefront of several technological trends in China. We believe Alibaba should continue to enjoy robust long-term growth, especially since several of its businesses remain underpenetrated and have yet to fully scale.
Compass Group (U.K.) is a leading global food services provider. Its superior scale enables it to provide services at a lower cost than its peers, which helps to drive a superior value proposition to clients while maintaining an industry-leading level of growth and returns. This virtuous circle of investing in growth and greater scale benefits has long made us admirers of the franchise, but the company's high valuation has historically kept us

on the sidelines. That changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, when shares lost nearly half of their value. Although we believe that short-term conditions will remain challenging, we believe the difficult economic environment will likely lead to greater outsourcing and market share gains for Compass, which already had a significant competitive advantage over its smaller peers.
Fresenius Medical Care (Germany) is the largest provider of dialysis services and products worldwide, occupying the top position in each business. Fresenius provides life-critical dialysis service with a steady 6% global growth of patients in need. In particular, we like that the U.S. dialysis market is a duopoly, and both players control more than one-third of the market, which gives them clout with insurers and benefits from scale. In addition, Fresenius is the only integrated supplier of products and services. This means that its products business benefits from insight and rapid industry adoption from the service side and its service business benefits from improved international market access from the products side. Furthermore, we believe that the company's pricing outlook is improving, which should help its margin, and that the rise of home-based dialysis will provide additional momentum, which adds to our confidence in this investment.
HCA Healthcare (U.S.) is the largest operator of for-profit hospitals and related health care services in the U.S. The company benefits from scale and size advantages, an attractive geographic footprint in higher growth markets, best-in-class management and governance, and an equity-friendly approach to capital allocation. Although the Covid-19 pandemic created disruptions across the hospital sector, HCA's fundamentals have held up remarkably well. Management believes the company will be in an even stronger position coming out of the crisis than it was coming into it and that demand for health care services will be robust for years to come.
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.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 49% of the Fund's investments in the U.S., 44% in the U.K. and Europe, and 7% in Asia.
We thank you for your continued support.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

The Oakmark International Fund declined 11.4% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, underperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index,12 which was nearly flat over the same period. For the most recent quarter, the Fund returned 3.6%, compared to the benchmark's return of 4.9%. However, the Fund has returned an average of 8.3% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 5.6% per year over the same period. We are disappointed any time we report absolute or relative underperformance, but we believe the portfolio is well positioned to provide you, our shareholders, with attractive returns in the long term.
NAVER, an internet company based in South Korea, was the largest contributor during the fiscal year. Over the past year, the company has generated strong operating results while management has completed several corporate actions that have significantly added value. Operationally, NAVER has produced strong revenue growth in all of its key businesses, including search, e-commerce, fintech and content services while also maintaining healthy margins. In addition, the company recently received regulatory approval to merge its Japanese subsidiary, Line Corp, with Yahoo Japan (Z Holdings). This combination will create one of the largest internet companies in Japan and we are optimistic about its long-term prospects. NAVER also spun out its financial technology business, NAVER Financial, and received a sizable investment from an outside party. We expect this business to generate strong revenue growth in the coming years and to be among the leaders in South Korea's fintech industry. With healthy growth, improving profitability and strong market positions across most of its businesses, NAVER remains an attractive holding, in our view.
Daimler, a global luxury automotive and truck manufacturer based in Germany, was the largest contributor for the quarter. Considering the operating environment, we were happy with the company's second-quarter earnings results, specifically in Mercedes-Benz cars and vans. However, year to date, Mercedes-Benz cars' and vans' volumes are down 22% and 29%, respectively, but we appreciate that revenue in the segment is only down 14.8%. We think this reflects significant product mix benefits within both markets as well as resilient pricing dynamics. China also contributed to Daimler's solid performance, delivering 17% year-over-year growth, even though the overall Chinese auto market was down 4%. Free cash flow was also significantly stronger than had been expected, which we attribute to management's stringent focus on this metric. As a result, the company ended the second quarter with a strong net financial position. Daimler also provided earnings guidance that was better than had been expected. We believe these results reflect well on the new management team. During the quarter, Daimler announced that it reached an agreement in principle with various U.S. authorities to settle civil and environmental claims
regarding emissions control systems on about 250,000 diesel passenger cars and vans in the U.S. The company also reached an agreement with the plaintiffs' counsel to settle the ongoing class action lawsuit. Importantly, the costs associated with the settlements are covered by existing provisions and removes a material area of uncertainty for Daimler.
Rolls-Royce Holdings, the U.K.-based producer of engines for the aerospace, defense and power markets, detracted the most from performance for both the fiscal year and most recent quarter. We wrote extensively about Rolls-Royce in our last quarterly letter and continue to believe that Covid-19 will cause a material and long-lasting disruption to its civil business. However, we also believe the company's other businesses, namely power systems and defense, offer significant value and have been much less disrupted by Covid-19. The company's share price weakness implies that all of its businesses have declined as much in value as the civil business, which we believe is not the case. We would note that after the close of the quarter, Rolls-Royce announced a GBP 2 billion rights issue as part of a GBP 5 billion recapitalization package that will strengthen its balance sheet and ensure adequate liquidity even if flight hours increase only moderately in 2021.
Another large detractor from performance for the most recent quarter and fiscal year was Lloyds Banking Group, a dominant retail bank in the U.K. The company's fiscal-year results fell short of expectations as revenue fell 4%, underlying profit fell 7% and pre-provision profit declined 3% from a year earlier. Results were also weaker than our estimates, which we attributed to 2019's very difficult operating environment, one that was dominated by uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the formation of a U.K. government. The company's results for the first half of 2020 were also disappointing. Key metrics fell far short of our estimates primarily because of Covid-19. Total revenue from core operations declined 16% from a year ago and operating profit realized a loss of GBP 281 million, driven by a significant impairment provision charge. Management stated that the larger than anticipated provision amount was due to a significantly depressed economic outlook. However, Lloyds loan book continues to perform well and actual defaults to date remain stable. Despite the difficult operating environment, Lloyds is well capitalized. Its Tier 1 ratio is 14.6% and it holds GBP 11.8 billion more in excess capital than regulations require. We believe that Lloyds has the preeminent retail banking franchise in a consolidated U.K. market and its balance sheet has improved greatly in recent years, possessing strong levels of capital, liquidity and reserves. In our view, the management team has successfully simplified the business and achieved significant cost savings from capitalizing on acquisition synergies, reducing headcounts, deploying technology improvements and decreasing its number of branches. This simplification plan has contributed to a cost-to-income ratio that is

largely in line with our estimates, despite continued pressures from low interest rates. In our view, Lloyds possesses a wide range of strengths that it can draw on to reinforce its business during current near-term challenges. Overall, we find that Lloyds is trading at a large discount to our estimate of the company's intrinsic value and that it remains an attractive investment.
During the quarter, we sold our holdings of Kuehne + Nagel (Switzerland), Nestlé (Switzerland), Reckitt Benckiser Group (U.K.) and Taiwan Semiconductor (Taiwan) as they approached our estimates of intrinsic value. We initiated positions in Anheuser-Busch InBev (Belgium), the world's largest brewing company and owners of brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Michelob and Stella Artois; Fresenius Medical Care (Germany), the largest global provider of dialysis services and products; and Novartis (Switzerland), one of the leading branded global pharmaceutical companies.
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 13% of the Swiss franc exposure was hedged at quarter end.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 82% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 9% in Asia, and 3% in Australasia. The remaining positions are 2% in South Africa, 2% in North America (Canada and the U.S.) and 1% in Latin America (Mexico).
We thank you for your continued support.

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund declined 6.2% for the fiscal year that ended September 30, compared to its benchmark, the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index,15 which returned 6.9% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the benchmark for the recent quarter end, returning 8.3%, compared to the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index return of 10.1% for the period. Since the Fund's inception in November 1995, it has returned an average of 8% per year.
Although we remain disappointed with the Fund's underperformance, we are enthusiastic about the quality of the portfolio's holdings and continue to believe the Fund is well positioned to generate attractive rates of return over mid- and long-term periods.
The top contributing stock for a second quarter in a row was Konecranes, the Finnish company that specializes in the manufacture and service of overhead cranes and lifting equipment. During the quarter, the company announced second-quarter earnings that were above expectations. Even though Covid-19 dampened the demand for Konecranes' products and services, which resulted in a 14.2% drop in revenue, all three of the company's divisions reported improved margins over the previous quarter, largely due to management's significant cost reduction efforts. During the quarter, the company announced additional cost reductions and restructuring activities, which should further improve profitability. During the second quarter, Konecranes also enjoyed solid free cash flow generation, driven by resilient margins and significant working capital release. We believe the company remains an attractive investment and is well positioned for long-term growth and profitability. After the close of the quarter, Konecranes and Cargotec, a Finnish cargo handling machinery maker, announced plans to merge. The two companies expect that the merger will increase scale and generate at least EUR100 Million of synergies. News of the merger sent the share price of Konecranes up sharply.
For the fiscal one-year period, the top contributing stock was Duerr, a German-based global mechanical and plant-engineering firm. Due to Covid-19, demand for Duerr's customers' products has fallen and, as a result, customers have needed less of the company's aftermarket services. Duerr's order intake and revenue have, therefore, declined. However, this drop in demand appears to have bottomed. In the second quarter, the company reported that demand has improved significantly since June. Duerr has also launched three separate and aggressive restructuring programs that combine to target EUR60 Million in cost savings by 2021. In addition, the company's free cash flow generation has improved significantly over the past several quarters and its balance sheet remains robust. We believe that management will build value for shareholders via restructuring efforts and that the rebound in end market demand will support higher earnings for the company.
The largest detractor to the Fund's performance for both the quarter and the one-year period was ISS, a facilities services
company headquartered in Denmark. ISS provides cleaning services, support services, property services, catering services and security. Before Covid-19, ISS suffered from a massive IT malware attack in early 2020 that disrupted operations and resulted in excess costs. Due to Covid-19, revenue declined by nearly 10% organically in the second quarter. The business segments most significantly impacted by Covid-19 were catering and above-base (work in excess of contract), and this revenue is falling away at a slightly higher margin than anticipated. Despite improving conditions, the near-term outlook remains uncertain and the company issued a rather wide guidance range for the 2020 fiscal year. That said, Covid-19 has significantly increased demand for the company's deep cleaning and disinfection services, which could support revenues in the medium term. ISS has a rather indebted balance sheet, but thanks to the lack of financial covenants and high liquidity, the company should be able to navigate this difficult environment successfully. Although the current environment is more challenging than expected, we are optimistic that the appointment of the new CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen, who started in September 2020, will provide the company with the fresh perspective it needs to improve its results. We believe ISS remains an attractive investment.
We initiated one new holding in the Fund this quarter: Link Group, an Australia-based firm that provides administration and operating support to a range of financial asset classes. The company's offerings include pension administration to Australian superannuation funds, share registry and corporate actions, employee and executive share plan administration, fund administration, loan servicing, and property transaction administration.
We eliminated positions in ALS Limited (Australia) and Signature Aviation (U.K.) as both companies' share price neared our estimate of intrinsic value. Metso recently completed a merger of its minerals division with Outotec to create Metso Outotec; this position remains in the Fund. The remaining division of Metso, flow control, was renamed Neles and sold during the quarter.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 70% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 10% in Asia, and 8% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in the Americas with 5% in Latin America (Mexico) and 6% in North America (Canada).
We continue to believe the Swiss franc remains overvalued versus the U.S. dollar and we ended September with hedges on 13% of the Fund's franc exposure.
During this unprecedented year, we thank you for your continued confidence and support. We remain committed to finding attractive, undervalued foreign companies with management teams that are dedicated to building shareholder value.

It Has Been 25 Years!
By the time shareholders receive the hard copy of this report, the Equity and Income Fund will have celebrated its 25th birthday. The Fund's early years were marked by the dot-com mania, a less than salubrious environment for a value fund, but we persisted. The Fund's fortunes improved with the turn of the millennium and the long-term result has been a fund that has approximately matched the return to stocks (as measured by the S&P 500 Index2) but with less volatility. We normally thank our investors for their commitment to this Fund at the end of the letter, but this time we wish to lead off with thanks for those of you who have been with us from the beginning. We also wish to thank our former co-managers, Edward Studzinski, Matthew Logan and Edward Wojciechowski, for their considerable contributions to the success of this Fund.
Market Distortions
Over the Fund's long history, the stock market has gone through many phases that were identifiable either mid-stream or in hindsight. Earlier, we mentioned the dot-com mania of the late 1990s, which was very difficult for value investors like ourselves. The past few years have been another difficult period. One way to characterize it is to look at the returns of Russell's sub-indexes. Since January 2018, the Russell 1000 Growth Index19 has bested its 1000 Value Index4 by over 19% per year. The spread in 2020 to date is an all-time record: 36%! Professor Kenneth French of Dartmouth looked at this factor by studying 10-year periods.20 In the 90-such 10-year periods for which he had data, growth outperformed value only eight times. Five of those eight time periods were the most recent five. In short, it has certainly been a challenging time for value investors.
Long-term Fund shareholders may recall that during the dot-com era we were critical of the valuations of some established companies. We could not understand why General Electric achieved a price/earnings ratio1 of more than 40 times, yet similar businesses were priced with multiples in the teens. Time has vindicated our skepticism. Over the past few years, GE's share price has declined to single digits, making it very painful for anyone who purchased shares in 1999. Perhaps a better example is Cisco Systems, the company which attained the highest market value in the dot-com era. In 2000, Cisco's market capitalization peaked at a multiple roughly equal to 200 times its annual revenue. Since then, its revenues have increased by 16 times and its stock has been added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.6 Yet its share price remains below its 2000 peak.
Today, the stock that value investors complain the most about is Tesla, the manufacturer of battery-powered vehicles. We hesitate to quote many valuation measures for this company because its volatility quickly makes such statements obsolete. Nevertheless, during the recent quarter, its market capitalization exceeded a value of $1 million for each car it annually
produces. Although the company reports profits, those profits are an outcome of its sale of environmental credits, i.e., it is not profitable on car sales alone. In contrast, Fund holding General Motors sells for less than $10,000 per annually produced vehicle and the company makes profits on those sales. Perhaps Snowflake, which went through its IPO in September, offers an even more salient example of extreme valuation. This eight-year-old company quickly attained a market capitalization similar to IBM's, a company with 120 times as much revenue. In fact, IBM's dividend payout alone is almost 10 times Snowflake's annual revenue.
Now, we do not wish to equate current market conditions with the 1999 experience. Market history often rhymes, but it rarely repeats. The high-multiple stocks today are generally interesting, real businesses unlike some of the short-lived dot-coms 20 years ago. Nevertheless, Cisco also proved to be a real business and has stood the test of time, yet its stock price has never returned to its 2000 heights. The message is simple: price matters, and in the long run it matters a lot. We continue to have no ability to forecast when value investing will once again outperform growth, but we remain certain that as long as human nature does not change, value investing will work. History suggests that value investing enjoys its greatest outperformance when it is most out of fashion. Waiting for this change demands patience, but we can point to the 1999-2000 experience when waiting eventually paid off handsomely.
Do Balanced Funds Have a Future?
As you can well imagine, we absolutely believe that balanced funds, such as Equity and Income, can continue to benefit investors. We offer this assertion in response to the September 23 Financial Times21 article, "Investors wonder if the 60/40 portfolio has a future." In this piece, the author suggests that balanced funds may be obsolete because of their forecasted underperformance given current stock and bond prices. But, underperformance versus what, we ask? And the answer is underperformance compared to balanced funds' previous returns. Indeed, those historic returns have been generous: 7% per annum for the past 40 years and 9% per annum since 1926, for a 60/40 S&P 500/Treasury note portfolio. We agree that a generic portfolio is unlikely to generate those returns today, but in our opinion, this oversimplifies the issue.
The Equity and Income Fund is a flexible balanced fund and its asset allocation and security selection reflect Harris Associates' ever-evolving understanding of value. When equity opportunities are abundant, the equity allocation will be high, and in times of scarcity, the fixed income allocation increases. The Fund is eclectic. It invests in both U.S.- and internationally domiciled equities and bonds and it is agnostic with regards to capitalization. In its fixed income holdings, the Fund invests in investment grade and high-yield corporate debt, government

and government agency debt, bank debt, and preferred stocks. This flexibility provides a key advantage because it allows us to pursue return opportunities wherever we perceive them. And we manage the Fund with high conviction (i.e., concentration) and low turnover.
As described in the previous section, value equities have underperformed for the past decade, such that return possibilities remain significant in that sector. In part, this underperformance results from the fact that market returns have been concentrated in a small number of very large-capitalization growth equities. But while the exalted few have been marching ceaselessly upward, others have been steadily increasing their intrinsic value without recognition in the stock market, creating ever greater opportunity.
It is hard to make the case for generic fixed income investing today. Thirty-year Treasury notes actually yield less than the S&P 500, something that except for a brief moment in the great financial crisis last occurred in the 1950s. Of course, for quite some time we have been warning of the increased riskiness in fixed income investments. This is pure math—when rates shrink to minimal levels, bond prices react more violently to changes in rates. A 10-year Treasury yielding 0.65% offers a modest return with high vulnerability to changing market conditions. But even in this environment, our go-anywhere flexibility enables our fixed income investing team to find pockets of opportunity with which to enhance the Fund's return.
Most importantly, we think that the Financial Times' argument fails because returns are not the only reason for investors to stick with a balanced fund. Balanced funds have endured because they help investors cope with the frailties of human nature. Many of us know individuals who have sold out of equities shortly before the bottom of a bear market period. With the buffered volatility of a balanced fund, investors have generally proven to be better able to maintain their allocation and avoid this kind of error.
To conclude, we believe that balanced funds fill an important role for many investors and that a value-oriented fund, such as Equity and Income, has the potential to meet investor needs even in the current environment. To that end, each of this Fund's managers has added to their holdings in the Fund in 2020.
Quarter and Fiscal-Year Review
The Equity and Income Fund returned 4.8% in the quarter, which compares to 6.2% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index,17 the Fund's performance benchmark. For the nine months of the calendar year, the Fund lost 6.4%, compared to a gain of 3.6% for the Lipper. For the 12 months ended September 30 (the Fund's fiscal year), Equity and Income earned -0.9%, which compares to 8.9% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index. The annualized compound rate of return since inception in 1995 is 9.3%, while the corresponding return for the Lipper Index is 6.9%.
TE Connectivity, General Motors, Charter Communications, Ally Financial and Mastercard provided the largest contribution to portfolio return in the quarter. The largest detractors from return were Citigroup, CVS Health, Diamondback Energy, American International Group and Thor. Contributors for the calendar year to date were Charter Communications, Thor, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Mastercard and Alphabet. Bank of
America, Citigroup, General Motors, Howmet Aerospace and ChampionX were the leading detractors for the nine months. Finally, for the Fund's fiscal year, the largest contributors were Charter Communications, Mastercard, Regeneron, UnitedHealth Group and Thor. The stocks that detracted most were Citigroup, General Motors, Howmet Aerospace, Bank of America and Howard Hughes.
Transaction Activity
Our transaction activity was modest in the quarter in terms of new purchases and eliminations. We exited CoreLogic, which received a takeover offer at the end of the June quarter that came close to our estimate of the company's intrinsic value. Our trading was far more active than this one elimination indicates, however, as we took advantage of intra-quarter market volatility and worked to become more tax-efficient.
We thank our shareholders for entrusting their assets to the Fund and welcome your questions and comments.

Oakmark Bond Fund September 30, 2020
Portfolio Manager Commentary
M. Colin Hudson, CFA
Portfolio Manager
Adam D. Abbas
Portfolio Manager
We're pleased to introduce you to the Oakmark Bond Fund, the first dedicated bond fund in Oakmark's history. As a natural extension of our value-driven investment philosophy, we incepted the Fund in June of this year to take advantage of opportunities in the fixed income space. We look forward to telling you more about the Fund and these investment opportunities on or about December 15, 2020, when we publish an updated Prospectus. In the meantime, we wanted to provide a brief performance update followed by some thoughts on the market.
Performance
Since launched on June 10, 2020, the Oakmark Bond Fund returned 2.07%, outperforming its benchmark by 1.0%. This outperformance was largely due to the Fund's overweight allocation to corporate credit (55%) versus the benchmark (29%). Performance was driven by positive security selection (+89 basis points) and positive allocation (+70 basis points) effects, while modestly hurt (-36 basis points) by its short duration position versus the benchmark (5.3 years vs. 6.1 years).
Although the Fund has a more aggressive allocation to corporate credit than the benchmark given its high yield exposure at 22% of the total portfolio versus 0% for the benchmark, the quality of its corporate credit holding remains high with 18% of corporate holdings in "A" rated credit, 25% in "BBB," 16% (72% of HY) of corporates in BB, and just 6% of the overall portfolio in B or below rated credit with underweight positions in volatile sectors like basic materials. During the year, weighting to higher rated credit was opportunistically increased as credit default spreads contracted.
Market Outlook
The fixed income market continued the momentum from the previous quarter with tighter credit spreads (lower default risk) across virtually all fixed income asset classes, sectors and quality buckets. The economic recovery from the sudden stop in the first quarter continued to gain traction as businesses slowly reopened and the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained an ultra-supportive stance through monetary tools and forward guidance. Notably, for the first time in its history, the Fed announced a departure from its absolute 2% inflation target and replaced the objective with an average 2% inflation goal. Although the change in language appears trivial, the central bank's signal was historic in that it showed a willingness to overshoot its 2% inflation objective for a sustained period. While the shift had little effect on inflation expectations (break-evens were unchanged), U.S. Treasurys continued to see a strong bid from buyers who translated the central banks pivot to a lower for longer scenario for risk free rates.
We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season.
Adam Abbas and Colin Hudson, Portfolio Managers
New Fund Risk: The Fund is recently established and has limited operating history. The Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy.
Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments.
Bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions.
High yield bonds are rated below BBB/Baa. Ratings are determined by third-party rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's and are an indication of a bond's credit quality. Investment grade refers to bonds rated BBB/Baa or higher. Ratings are determined by third-party rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's and are an indication of a bond's credit quality.
Duration is a bond's price sensitivity to interest rate changes.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The following are the significant accounting policies of Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark"), Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), Oakmark Global Select Fund ("Global Select"), Oakmark International Fund ("International"), Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small Cap"), Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income") and Oakmark Bond Fund ("Bond") 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 ("ASC") Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. Bond commenced operations on June 10, 2020. 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, except Bond Fund, offers four classes of shares: Investor Class Shares, Advisor Class Shares, Institutional Class Shares and Service Class Shares. Bond Fund offers Advisor Class Shares and Institutional Class 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 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 intermediaries 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, 2020.
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.
Security valuation
The share price is also called the net asset value (the "NAV") of a share. The NAV of shares of each class is normally determined by the Funds' custodian as of the close of regular session trading (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on any day on which the NYSE is open for regular trading. If the NYSE is unexpectedly closed on a day it would normally be open for business, or if the NYSE has an unscheduled early closure, the Funds reserve the right to accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate their share price as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day.
The NYSE is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on New Year's Day, the third Mondays in January and February, Good Friday, the last Monday in May, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the NYSE will be closed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively. A Fund's NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is closed. The NAV of a class of Fund shares is determined by dividing the value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class.
Trading in securities of non-U.S. issuers takes place in various markets on some days and at times when the NYSE is not open for trading. In addition, securities of non-U.S. issuers may not trade on some days when the NYSE is open for trading. The value of the Funds' portfolio holdings may change on days when the NYSE is not open for trading and shareholders cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Equity securities principally traded on securities exchanges in the United States are valued at the last sale price or the official closing price as of the time of valuation on that exchange, or lacking a reported sale price on the principal exchange at the time of valuation, at the most recent bid quotation. Each over-the-counter security traded on the NASDAQ National Market System shall be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or lacking a NOCP at the time of valuation, at the most recent bid quotation. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sales prices at the time of valuation or, lacking any reported sales on that day, at the most recent bid quotations. Each equity security principally traded on a securities exchange outside the United States shall be valued, depending on local convention or regulation, at the last sale price, the last bid or asked price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices, the official closing price, an auction price, or the pricing convention accepted as the official closing price by MSCI for their index calculations. If there are unexpected disruptions in the primary market or valuations from the primary market are deemed suspect, equity securities may be valued based on a pricing composite or valuations from another exchange as of the close of the regular trading hours on the appropriate exchange or other designated time. The market value of exchange-traded securities is determined by using prices provided by one or more independent pricing services, or, as needed, by obtaining market quotations from independent broker-dealers. Short-term debt instruments (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) or money market instruments are valued at the latest bid quotation or an evaluated price from an independent pricing service. If a bid quotation or evaluated price from a pricing vendor is not available for short-term debt instrument or money market instrument maturing in 60 days or less from date of valuation, such instruments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. All other debt instruments are valued at the latest bid

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
quotation or at 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. 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. In the event that designated pricing vendors are unable to provide valuations or timely valuations for FLEX options on a given day, each FLEX option purchased or written may be valued using the Option Valuation (OVME) function on Bloomberg. The OVME function requires objective inputs (strike price, exercise style and expiration dates) to derive a valuation using Bloomberg's proprietary calculations. FLEX options shall be valued at the mid of the buy and sell valuations produced by OVME. If values or prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, or if an event that is expected to affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of the primary market or exchange on which that security is traded and before the close of the NYSE, the security will be valued at a fair value determined in good faith in accordance with Fund policies and procedures approved by the Board. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value securities of non-U.S. issuers in order to adjust for changes in value that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at a current exchange price quoted by an independent pricing service or any major bank or dealer. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be determined in good faith in accordance with Fund policies and procedures. Although fair valuation may be more commonly used with equity securities of non-U.S. issuers, it also may be used in a range of other circumstances, including thinly-traded domestic securities or fixed-income securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the value of a portfolio security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.
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 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, 2020, in valuing each Fund's assets and liabilities. Except for the industries or investment types separately stated below, the total amounts for common stocks, fixed income and short-term investments in the table below are presented by industry or investment type in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Information on forward foreign currency contracts is presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Offsetting assets and liabilities
ASC 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, 2020, 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, 2020, each Fund held investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value of these investments and the value of the related collateral are presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral for each Fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements held at period end.
The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral as of period end, if any, are included in the Securities lending section of Note 1 to Financial Statements.
Foreign currency translations
Certain Funds invest in foreign securities, which may involve a number of risk factors and special considerations not present with investments in securities of U.S. corporations. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates obtained by a recognized bank, dealer or independent pricing service on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and tax reclaims recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation in the Statements of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts
Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current day's interpolated foreign exchange rates. Unrealized gain or loss on the contracts, as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the end of the period, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.
At September 30, 2020, 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.
For the year ended September 30, 2020, 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):

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, Oakmark Select, and Global Select used purchased equity options for tax management purposes during the year ended September 30, 2020. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on purchased equity options for the period, if any, are included in the Fund's Statements of Operations. There were no outstanding purchased equity options as of September 30, 2020.
Oakmark, Oakmark Select, and Global Select used equity options written for tax management purposes during the year ended September 30, 2020. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written equity options for the period, if any, are included in the Fund's Statements of Operations. Written equity options outstanding, if any, are listed on each Fund's Schedule of Investments and shown as liabilities on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the year ended September 30, 2020, the amount of premiums paid (received) for equity options purchased and written are listed by Fund in the table below (in thousands):
Fund | | Equity Options Purchased | | Equity Options Written | |
Oakmark | | $ | 147,442 | | | $ | (394,004 | ) | |

Global Select | | | 2,736 | | | | (2,868 | ) | |
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, 2020.
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, 2020, 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.
76 OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, 2020, 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, 2020, none of the Funds had securities on loan.
Interfund lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility that allows the Funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other for temporary purposes (an "Interfund Loan"). All Interfund Loans are subject to conditions pursuant to the SEC exemptive order designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of participating Funds. Any Interfund Loan would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending Fund otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments. There were no interfund loans during the year ended September 30, 2020.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund has an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. For management services and facilities furnished, the Adviser receives from each Fund a monthly fee based on that Fund's net assets at the end of the preceding month. Annual fee rates are as follows:

Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through January 27, 2021, 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; 0.059% for Global; 0.066% for Global Select; 0.052% for International; and 0.099% for Equity and Income. 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 27, 2021, 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.
Fund | | Investor Class | | Advisor Class | | Institutional Class | | Service Class | |
Oakmark | | | 1.50 | % | | | 1.40 | % | | | 1.30 | % | | | 1.75 | % | |
Select | | | 1.50 | | | | 1.40 | | | | 1.30 | | | | 1.75 | | |
Global | | | 1.75 | | | | 1.65 | | | | 1.55 | | | | 2.00 | | |
Global Select | | | 1.75 | | | | 1.65 | | | | 1.55 | | | | 2.00 | | |
International | | | 2.00 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.80 | | | | 2.25 | | |
Int'l Small Cap | | | 2.00 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.80 | | | | 2.25 | | |
Equity and Income | | | 1.00 | | | | 0.90 | | | | 0.80 | | | | 1.25 | | |
Bond | | | — | | | | 0.54 | | | | 0.44 | | | | — | | |
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, 2020, there were no amounts subject to recoupment.
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 Institutional 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.
3. 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. The Adviser has determined that no income tax provision for uncertain tax positions is required in the Funds' financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2020, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

5. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED ISSUERS
A company was considered to be an affiliate of a Fund because that Fund owned 5% or more of the company's voting securities during all or part of the year ended September 30, 2020. Purchase and sale transactions and dividend and interest income earned during the period on these securities are listed after the applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Adviser has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Funds' financial statements. The Adviser has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements through the date of the publication of this report.
The continued impact of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") on the financial results of each Fund will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and related advisories and restrictions. COVID-19 has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, global financial market declines, higher default rates, and substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. These developments and the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The effects of COVID-19 may materially impact the value and performance of each Fund, its ability to buy and sell fund investments at appropriate valuations, and its ability to achieve its investment objectives. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the future financial results of each Fund may be materially adversely affected.

Please note that on October 1, 2020, Harris Associates Investment Trust made a 485A filing to amend the Fund's Registration Statement, which is currently in the 75 day SEC comment period. The primary changes proposed to the Funds are discussed in the President Letter contained in this report. These include the introduction of a new R-6 share class, reduction of advisory fees, and structural cost changes related to the Investor, Advisor, and Institutional share classes. In addition, Oakmark Bond Fund was added to the Oakmark Fund prospectus and is available for investment. These changes are expected to be effective December 15, 2020, which will coincide with the 485B filing.
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04") Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on the Trust's financial statements and related disclosures.

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, 2020, 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Liquidity Rule"), the Oakmark Funds (the "Funds") have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the "Program") designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk. Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Funds has designated the Funds' investment adviser, Harris Associates L.P., as the administrator of the Program (the "Program Administrator").
The Program Administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee to carry out its primary responsibilities under the Program including (1) classification of the liquidity of each Fund's portfolio investments; (2) assessment, management and periodic review of each Fund's liquidity risk; (3) determination of each Fund's Highly Liquid Investment Minimum ("HLIM"), if applicable, and the response process to shortfalls if a Fund's level of highly liquid investments falls below its HLIM; (4) management of each Fund's liquidity risk by not acquiring an illiquid investment, if immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of such Fund's net assets in illiquid investments; (5) required SEC Reporting via Form N-PORT and Form N-Liquid (as applicable); (6) annual review and drafting an annual report on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program to the Board; and (7) recordkeeping. As part of its responsibilities, the Program Administrator has retained a third party service provider ("Service Provider") to perform certain functions, including providing market data and liquidity classification model information.
On April 22, 2020, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator's annual report (the "Report") on the operation of the Program and the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation for the 12-month period April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 (the "Reporting Period"). The Report included a summary of the operation of the Program, information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program was adequately and effectively implemented, and the Program Administrator's evaluation of the sufficiency of services provided by the Service Provider. The Report concluded that during the Period, the Funds' Program operated adequately and effectively, including during more stressed market conditions, and was adequately and effectively implemented. There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Disclosure Regarding Investment Advisory Agreements Approval
The Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees' Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements as Approved September 25, 2020
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of the Oakmark Funds (the "Funds"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser") or the Funds ("Independent Trustees"), considers whether to continue each Fund's investment advisory agreement (each, an "Agreement," and collectively, the "Agreements") with the Adviser. At a special meeting held on September 25, 2020, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the continuation of the Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the continuation of each Agreement through October 31, 2021.
The Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee") leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. The Committee, together with the other Independent Trustees, requested, received, reviewed and considered materials provided by the Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Trustees that they believed to be relevant to the continuation of the Agreements with respect to each Fund in light of legal advice furnished to them by their legal counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent from the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"); their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, the markets and mutual fund regulation and litigation. During the annual contract approval process, the Committee and the other Independent Trustees met multiple times specifically to review and consider materials related to the proposed continuation of each Agreement; and to ensure that the Adviser had time to respond to questions from the Independent Trustees and that the Independent Trustees had time to consider those responses. They also met with senior representatives of the Adviser regarding, among other things, its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), an independent consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data, to provide performance and expense information for each Fund and a peer group of comparable funds, as selected by Broadridge. The Board also met with Broadridge representatives to request certain additional information and again to follow up on specific questions regarding data provided.
While the Board considered the continuation of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Fund's Agreement separately from those of each other Fund.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered a broad range of information relevant to the annual contract approval process that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; quality and cost of portfolio trade execution; compliance; and shareholder support and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.
The Independent Trustees were advised by Independent Counsel throughout the annual contract approval process and they received a memorandum from Independent Counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract approval process, the Committee and the other Independent Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser.
Provided below is a description of the Board's annual contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered regarding continuation of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract approval process.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the Funds took into account the knowledge the Board gained during meetings with the Adviser throughout the year. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the Funds; the consistency of its investment approach; the qualifications, experience and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the Adviser's investment and other personnel responsible for managing the Funds; the Adviser's performance as administrator of the Funds; and the Adviser's compliance program. The Board also considered the Adviser's resources and reviewed key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Funds, including the time that investment personnel devoted to each Fund, and the investment results produced as a result of the Adviser's in-house research. The Trustees also reviewed information regarding each Fund's "active share" in relation to its benchmark index.
The Board noted the extensive range of services that the Adviser provides to the Funds beyond the investment management services. The Board considered that, pursuant to each Agreement, the Adviser provides administrative services, including, among others, oversight of shareholder communications, fund administration and accounting services, regulatory and legal obligation oversight, supervision of Fund operations and Board support. The Board noted that the Adviser is also responsible for monitoring compliance with each Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board also considered that the Adviser's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and on a regular basis it considers information regarding the Adviser's processes for monitoring and managing risk. The Board also noted the Adviser's oversight of the Funds' various outside service providers, including its negotiation of certain service
92 OAKMARK FUNDS
providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board further noted the additional responsibilities of Management in administering the liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the Adviser's ongoing development of its own internal infrastructure, including, among other things, its operational and trading capabilities, and its information technology to support the Funds' compliance structure through, among other things, cybersecurity programs, business continuity planning and risk management. The Board also noted the Adviser's implementation of its business continuity plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of the Adviser.
The Board also considered the general structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees, and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board also noted the significant personal investments that the Adviser's personnel have made in the Funds, which serve to further align the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Funds' shareholders.
The Board also considered the manner in which the Adviser addressed various matters that arose during the year. These matters may have been the result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's response to recent market conditions, such as the economic dislocation and rise in volatility that accompanied shutdowns related to the efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19 and considered the overall performance of the Adviser in this context.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered each Fund's investment performance over various time periods, net of the Fund's fees and expenses, both on an absolute basis and compared to the performance of a broader group of comparable funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective as each Fund (the Fund's "Performance Universe"), as selected by Broadridge. The Board also considered the quintile ranking of each Fund against its Performance Universe. As a general matter, the Board considered each Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such comparative groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative groups. The performance periods considered by the Board were those ended April 30, 2020. In addition, in light of the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board also reviewed comparable performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2020. The Board considered the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year performance for each Fund.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020.
Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 10-year period ending June 30, 2020.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. he Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020.
Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020.
Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Select Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ending June 30, 2020.
Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods ending April 30, 2020 and outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 10-year period ending April 30, 2020. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 5- and 10-year periods ending June 30, 2020.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund underperformed the median annualized returns of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2020.
In addition to considering each Fund's performance as compared to that of its respective Performance Universe, the Board also considered each Fund's performance as compared to that of its benchmark, and other comparative data provided by Broadridge, including each Fund's total return and performance relative to risk, and separate comparative data provided by the Adviser. The Board met quarterly with the portfolio managers of each Fund to discuss the Fund's performance during the year prior to voting on the contract renewal. For each Fund with periods of underperformance as compared to its Performance Universe, that the Board believed warranted further inquiry, the Board discussed with the Adviser the factors that caused such underperformance and how the Adviser evaluates underperformance relative to Fund peers. The Board considered the Adviser's responses with respect to each Fund that experienced underperformance.
Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser
The Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under its Agreement as compared to the peer group provided by Broadridge, including funds that the Adviser identified as comparable peer funds. Specifically, using the information provided by Broadridge, the Board considered each Fund's management fee and the management fees for other mutual funds comparable in fund type, investment classification/objective, load type and asset size to each Fund (the Fund's "Expense Group"), and considered each Fund's total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees paid by an investor, and those of its Expense Group.
Oakmark.com 93
Further detail considered by the Board regarding each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio as of the conclusion of its fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, is set forth below:
Oakmark Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both higher than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both higher than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both the same as the corresponding median of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both higher than the corresponding median of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Select Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser and the Fund's total expense ratio were both higher than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark International Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Fund's management fee net of fees waived by the Adviser was higher than the corresponding median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was lower than the corresponding median of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund's management fee and the Fund's total expense ratio were both higher than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.
The Board also reviewed the Adviser's management fees for comparable institutional separate account clients and sub-advised funds (for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and any such comparable separate account clients and/or sub-advised funds, including any breakpoints, and noted the Adviser's explanation that, although in most instances the fees paid by those other clients were lower than the fees paid by the Funds, the differences reflected the Adviser's significantly greater level of responsibilities and broader scope of services with respect to the Funds. The Board further noted the more extensive regulatory obligations and the various risks (e.g., operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, compliance) associated with managing the Funds as compared to any such comparable separate account clients and/or sub-advised funds.
The Board also noted that each Fund's management fee is a single fee that compensates the Adviser for its services as investment adviser and manager under the Agreements, and further noted that, for comparative purposes, where possible, Broadridge aggregated the separate investment advisory and administrative fees into a single management fee for the mutual funds in the Expense Group that clearly identify two separate fees. The Board noted that some mutual funds in the Expense Group may pay directly from fund assets for certain services that the Adviser is compensated for out of the management fee for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund's total expense ratio as compared with its respective Expense Group as a way of taking account of these differences. The Board also considered the expense limitation agreement for each Fund and the current investment advisory fee waiver agreement for Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund and Oakmark International Fund.
The Board also considered the Adviser's costs in serving as the Funds' investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Funds. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as an Investment Management Industry Profitability Analysis prepared by Broadridge. The Board examined the estimated pre-tax profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, as presented in the profitability analyses, as well as the financial condition of the Adviser. The Board reviewed the Adviser's methodology for allocating costs among the Adviser's lines of business and among the Funds, for purposes of calculating its estimated profitability, and recognized that the methodology may not reflect all of the costs or risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex. The Board also recognized that the Adviser and its affiliates are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether each Fund's management fee structure reflects any potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Adviser for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board reviewed each Agreement, which includes the current breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as Fund assets increase. In addition, the Board considered each Fund's expense limitation agreement and the investment advisory fee waiver agreement for Oakmark Fund, Oakmark Select Fund, Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, Oakmark Global Fund, Oakmark Global Select Fund and Oakmark International Fund that reduces each Fund's expenses at all asset levels, which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provides protection from an increase in expenses if a Fund's assets decline. The Board also considered that the Adviser has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.
Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds
The Board considered any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Adviser or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. The Board noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as the Funds' distributor, without compensation, pursuant to a written agreement the Board evaluates annually. The Board also considered the Adviser's use of a portion of the commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research and brokerage products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser, and considered the Adviser's assertion that its use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain research and brokerage products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements.

Additional Factors Considered
At the special Board meeting on September 25, 2020, the Board considered and approved a series of changes to the Funds' share class lineup and fee structure that will take effect in conjunction with the Funds' annual update of the registration statement. In connection with these changes, the Board also considered and approved new investment advisory fee waiver and expense limitation agreements for each Fund through January 27, 2022. In approving the changes to each Fund's fee structure, the Board considered the information provided by the Adviser with regard to each Fund's proposed management fees and total expense ratios compared to its Expense Group. The Board also considered the proposed new management fee breakpoint schedule for each Fund. The Board noted that each Fund's proposed management fee would decrease as a result of the proposed changes.
Conclusion
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, in its business judgment, concluded that approval of the continuation of each Agreement was in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the Fund's Agreement and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its Agreement with the Adviser; that the Adviser was delivering performance for each Fund that was consistent with the long-term investment strategies being pursued by the Fund, and that the Fund and its shareholders were benefiting from the Adviser's investment management of the Fund; that the current management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser and the proposed management fees to be paid by each Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided; that the current and proposed breakpoints in the fee schedule for each Fund allow shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be achieved by the Adviser; that the profitability of the Adviser's relationship with each Fund appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services performed; and that the benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs and risks associated with providing the investment advisory and other services to each Fund and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions are based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual contract approval process.
Oakmark Bond Fund Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees' Initial Consideration and Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement as Approved January 22, 2020
Prior to approving the investment advisory agreement with Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") (the "Agreement"), with respect to Oakmark Bond Fund (the "Fund"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of the Oakmark Funds (the "Funds" or "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Adviser or the Funds ("Independent Trustees"), evaluated the Agreement.
The Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee") led the Board in its evaluation of the Agreement. The Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. The Committee, together with the other Independent Trustees, requested, received, reviewed and considered materials provided by the Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Trustees that they believed to be relevant to the evaluation of the Agreement in light of legal advice furnished to them by their legal counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent from the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"); their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, the markets and mutual fund regulation and litigation. They also met with senior representatives of the Adviser regarding, among other things, its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Fund.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered a broad range of information relevant to the Agreement that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year and for the annual consideration of continuance of investment advisory agreements for the other investment companies in the Oakmark family of funds. The Independent Trustees were advised by Independent Counsel throughout their deliberations and receive, at least annually, from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the investment advisory agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the Agreement, the Committee and the other Independent Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser.
In connection with its approval of the Agreement, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreement, the overall fairness of the Agreement to the Fund and whether the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (2) the expected costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (3) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; and (4) whether proposed fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board. This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreement to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
With respect to the Board's consideration of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to be provided to the Fund, the Board considered: the Adviser's investment approach; the qualifications, experience and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the Adviser's investment and other personnel responsible for managing the Fund; the Adviser's compliance program; and the Adviser's long-term history of care and conscientiousness in the management of the other investment companies in the Oakmark family of funds. The Board noted the extensive range of services that the Adviser would provide to the Fund beyond the investment management services. The Board considered that the Adviser would provide administrative services, including, among others, oversight of shareholder communications, fund administration and accounting services, regulatory and legal obligation oversight, supervision of Fund operations and Board support. The Board also considered the Adviser's policies and practices regarding trade execution, transaction costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions. The Board noted that the Adviser will also be responsible for
Oakmark.com 95
monitoring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board also considered that the Adviser's responsibilities will include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund. It also considered information regarding the Adviser's processes for monitoring and managing the Fund's related risk.
The Board also noted the Adviser's contractual obligation to oversee the Fund's various outside service providers, including its negotiation of certain service providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered the Adviser's ongoing development of its own internal infrastructure, including, among other things, its operational and trading capabilities, and its information technology to support the Fund's compliance structure through, among other things, cybersecurity programs, business continuity planning and risk management. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of the Adviser. The Board also considered the general structure of the Adviser's compensation program for portfolio managers, analysts and certain other employees, and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Fund. In addition, the Board considered the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Fund. The Board also noted the significant personal investments that the Adviser's personnel plan to make in the Fund, which serve to further align the interests of the Adviser and its personnel with those of the Fund's shareholders.
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreement, the Board considered the proposed fee structure for the Fund under its Agreement as compared to a peer group of funds with comparable investment programs. Specifically, the Board considered the Fund's proposed management fee and the management fees for other mutual funds comparable in fund type and investment classification/objective to the Fund, and considered the Fund's proposed total expense ratio, which reflects the total fees to be paid by an investor, and those of its peer group.
The Board noted that both the contractual management fee and total expense ratio projected for each class of the Fund were below the comparable data for the majority of the class-specific peers. The Board also considered the Adviser's proposed expense limitation agreement for the Fund. The Board also considered whether it would be appropriate to evaluate any anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services the Adviser would provide to the Fund, noting that, at the start-up phase of a fund, it may be too soon to anticipate the economies of scale in anything more than a general manner. The Board considered any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Adviser or its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's fee structure does not provide for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints, and considered the Fund's expense limitation agreement reduces the Fund's expenses at all asset levels, which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provides protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund's assets decline.
The Board also considered the Adviser's estimated costs in serving as the Fund's investment adviser and manager, including costs associated with technology, infrastructure and compliance necessary to manage the Fund. Finally, the Board considered the Adviser's profitability analysis and noted that the Adviser anticipates generating a loss for the first year of the Fund's operation for expenses in excess of the management fee.
Conclusion
In approving the Agreement, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, in its business judgment, concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund were appropriate; that the management fee to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser was reasonable in light of the services to be provided; that the anticipated profitability of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund appeared to be reasonable in relation to the services to be performed; and that the benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs and risks associated with providing the investment advisory and other services to the Fund and the benefits accruing to the Fund.

The discussion of the Funds' investments and investment strat- egy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers' research and investment process, and portfolio char- acteristics) 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 under- perform 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 depreci- ation 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 which in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: cur- rency 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

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 Treasurer. |
| (b) | No disclosures are required by Item 2(b). |
| (c) | During the period covered by the report, there were no material amendments made to 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. |
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 Steven S. Rogers. 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, 2020 | Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2019 |
Audit Fees1 | $288,000 | $258,000 |
Audit-Related Fees2 | $0 | $0 |
Tax Fees3 | $44,300 | $39,700 |
All Other Fees4 | $66,232 | $69,457 |
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, 2020 and September 30, 2019 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 $66,232 and $69,457, 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 principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. |
| (b) | There were no changes in the Registrant's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal half-year period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting. |
