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.

A shareholder of each Fund incurs ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, transfer agent fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The following table provides information about actual account values and actual Fund expenses as well as hypothetical account values and hypothetical fund expenses for shares of each Fund.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The following table shows the expenses a shareholder would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, as well as how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses. A shareholder can estimate expenses incurred for the period by dividing the account value at March 31, 2023, 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.
Banks
I wasn't planning to write about banks, but because of recent events and our ownership, I felt a few comments were needed.
The banking system took center stage last month, and that's never a good thing. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank heightened concern that depositors would flee small and mid-sized banks. That led investors to sell bank stocks. Given our exposure to banks, March wasn't a good month. We think it is important to consider how different our banks are from those that failed.
The failed banks were mostly funded by uninsured deposits that tend to move more rapidly than insured deposits. Further, the banks that failed invested those short-duration deposits in long-duration bonds. Because of the rapid rise in interest rates, those bonds lost value. If they were marked to market, the book value of Silicon Valley Bank would have been negative. In contrast, banks we own are majority funded by insured deposits, which have less flight risk. Further, our banks didn't make as big a bet on long-term bonds as the troubled banks did. After marking securities to market, the book value of our banks remained solidly positive. Unlike credit problems, which tend to get worse as each day passes, duration mismatches cure themselves given time. "Sticky" deposits provide an offset to longer duration assets and allow time to reverse mark-to-market losses. And a final difference is that insiders had been selling stock personally at the failed banks, whereas in March insiders were net buyers of the banks we own.
Banking is an industry with large economies of scale. A rule of thumb is when two similarly sized banks merge, non-interest expenses can be reduced by 20%. Because of that, banking has been a consolidating industry. Forty years ago, there were 14,469 banks in the U.S. The total number of banks is now only about 4,200. That decline occurred despite public policy that has favored smaller banks. (Note the number of banks is unrelated to how far away your nearest branch is—branches doubled over the past 40 years to more than 80,000.) Economies of scale mean the natural path for banks is to continue consolidating. Government policy may prevent that in good times, but the economic rationale is just too strong to stop the growth of big banks. If the regulatory playing field is leveled across all banks, as has been discussed due to recent failures, we would expect the decline in the number of banks to accelerate.
Competitively disadvantaged small banks struggle to match the breadth and depth of products and technology that large banks offer, so they can earn competitive returns for shareholders only by taking advantage of lower liquidity and capital requirements. The result is that smaller banks often have larger concentrations of risk with less capital and liquidity to protect depositors. When those risks go bad, as we saw last month, depositors move to safer big banks. The banks Oakmark owns
are all over $150 billion in assets and rank in the 25 largest banks in the U.S. We expect them to continue benefiting from economies of scale. The stock market, however, hasn't differentiated much in the banking stock decline. We believe the banks we own are not only cheap—most sell at single digit P/E1 ratios and below book value—but are also likely to grow faster than the industry. We increased our bank stock holdings in March.
Book Review and ChatGPT
"We've got the dog"
-autocorrected text that had been typed as "We've got the EMI" The Dealmaker by Guy Hands
The Dealmaker by Guy Hands is a captivating memoir that chronicles his journey from working at Goldman Sachs to becoming a successful private equity dealmaker. The book provides a detailed account of Hands' experience in the industry, including his time at Nomura and his founding of Terra Firma. Throughout the book, Hands shares his insights and perspectives on various deals he has made, offering valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs and investors. With a focus on both the business and personal aspects of his career, The Dealmaker is an engaging and inspiring read for anyone interested in the world of finance and business.
What I enjoyed most about the book was Hands's thorough analysis of his mistakes. To make this more fun, I asked ChatGPT to explain why the largest acquisition made by Terra Firma, EMI, lost money:
"Terra Firma's acquisition of EMI, one of the world's leading music companies, in 2007, is widely considered one of the biggest failures in private equity history. There are several reasons why the deal failed. Firstly, the timing of the acquisition was unfortunate. It was done just before the 2008 financial crisis, which hit the music industry hard. The declining revenues from physical music sales, coupled with the rise of digital music, made it difficult for EMI to maintain profitability. Secondly, the deal was heavily financed by debt, with Terra Firma borrowing heavily to finance the acquisition. This put significant pressure on EMI to generate enough cash flow to service the debt, leading to a focus on short-term profitability over long-term growth. Thirdly, Terra Firma overpaid for EMI, with the deal valued at £4.2 billion, which was considered too high at the time. The high price tag left little room for error, and the declining music industry made it difficult for EMI to generate the expected returns. Finally, Terra Firma's management style was criticized as being too aggressive and out of touch with the music industry. The firm made several unpopular decisions, such as suing music-sharing site, YouTube, which alienated EMI's artists and executives. All these factors contributed to the failure of Terra Firma's acquisition of EMI,

leading to the eventual sale of EMI's recorded music division to Universal Music Group in 2012."
The only discrepancy I found in that summary was the deal price, which Hands said was £3.2 billion, not £4.2. On the surface, ChatGPT wrote a decent explanation despite the error. And just like the autocorrect error starting this section, despite similar fails (though probably not as prophetic as this one) from that early form of artificial intelligence (AI), few of us turn off that feature.
But a closer look shows that ChatGPT blames EMI's failure on unanticipated external shocks:
- the financial crisis
- the resulting decline in music sales
- this decline in sales accelerated the trend to digital delivery
The reason I found Hands's deep dive into mistakes so interesting was that he never focused on things that happened to them. Instead, he focused on internal process mistakes that allowed external shocks to be fatal. He cited the following problems with the EMI deal:
- feeling pressured to "win" after getting outbid on the last deal
- not knowing his team well enough—100 of 128 employees hired in the past two years
- the deal was so large it exceeded their maximum position size
- once diligence began, they ignored multiple profit warnings from EMI
- they ignored growing concerns with the onset of the Great Recession of 2008
- they shortcut normal due diligence to accommodate the seller's desire for a quick sale
- they didn't recognize how hard it was to renegotiate terms when buying a public company; previous purchases had been private
- they committed to the purchase price before setting the terms on their debt, giving the lender the upper hand
- they feared embarrassment if they walked away from the deal, even after suspecting it was a mistake
- Hands became CEO, breaking his rule that owners shouldn't be managers because they lose objectivity
- and perhaps most important, they accepted a deal structure that left them unable to invest for the long term—EMI was ultimately worth $25 billion based on industry comparables, but the debt holders took ownership of EMI long before that value had surfaced
It reminded me of how we examine our losing investments. At Oakmark, we never feel pressured to find the next great deal. Our team has largely been together for more than a decade, we have always invested in public securities, and we never take over management. Though that protects us from some of the EMI mistakes, many of the others are familiar because over our long history we've also made those errors. When Oakmark loses money, we perform extensive post-mortems focused internally. Though it is always tempting to look externally—at what happened to us—the
internal focus helps us improve our process and minimize the chance of making the same mistake again.
ChatGPT did a fine job of cataloging what happened to EMI, but completely missed the internal focus of what Terra Firma should have done differently. Despite the advancements of AI and its potential to make writers more productive, I think Oakmark analysts' jobs are safe for now! But, to be fair to ChatGPT, it was very good at summarizing what an outsider could see. By the way, ChatGPT also wrote the 100-word summary of The Dealmaker that appeared at the start of this section, which I thought was difficult to improve on. ChatGPT is part owned by Microsoft, which owns the search engine Bing. After ChatGPT's launch in November, investors worried that Bing could take market share from Google, causing Alphabet stock to fall.
Alphabet is our largest holding because we believe its Google search business deserves a premium multiple, and after adjusting for cash and other assets it currently sells at a discount. We believe a higher multiple is deserved because of Google's dominant market share (which has still grown post-ChatGPT) in an above-average growth business. We believe investors incorrectly interpreted the launch of ChatGPT as showing that Google was behind on AI. However, we believe the many years of high R&D spending on AI at Alphabet makes it likely Alphabet is the leader and is just being more cautious. Alphabet has more to lose with 89% control of the search market compared to Microsoft's 6%.
When reports surfaced of errors and other odd behavior from ChatGPT, fears that Google would lose share diminished. Then, last month Alphabet released a test version of its own AI chatbot, Bard, further calming investors. One of the advantages Bard has over ChatGPT is that it has access to current information, whereas ChatGPT cannot access information from the past year. So of course, when I tested Bard, I had to ask about the Chicago Cubs' prospects this season:
"The Chicago Cubs have made significant changes to their roster in the offseason, including the signing of catcher Tucker Barnhart, shortstop Dansby Swanson, center fielder Cody Bellinger, and first baseman Eric Hosmer. These changes are likely to make the Cubs a more competitive team in 2023 and could help them reach the playoffs.
Barnhart is a solid defensive catcher who will provide stability behind the plate. Swanson is a young, talented shortstop who is expected to be a key part of the Cubs' offense. Bellinger is a former All-Star outfielder who will bring power and speed to the Cubs' lineup. Hosmer is a veteran first baseman who will provide leadership and experience to the Cubs' clubhouse.
In addition to these changes, the Cubs are also expected to get a boost from the return of several key players from injury, including starting pitcher Marcus Stroman and outfielder Seiya Suzuki. Stroman is one of the best pitchers in baseball and Suzuki is a highly touted rookie who has the potential to be a star.
The Cubs are still a young team and there is some uncertainty surrounding their 2023 season. However, the changes they have made to their roster have made them a more competitive team and could help them reach the playoffs."
Alphabet's Bard, my new best friend!

The Oakmark Fund ("the Fund") returned 8.1% during the first calendar quarter, outperforming the S&P 500 Index's return of 7.5%. While we were pleased to have outperformed both the S&P 500 Index2 and the Russell 1000 Value Index6 this quarter, at Oakmark we don't focus on short-term performance and instead prefer to grade ourselves over longer time horizons. Indeed, we are pleased to have compounded capital at approximately 12% per annum for the past decade, roughly in line with the S&P 500 Index, despite the unusually strong headwinds encountered by value investors over this period.
Our highest contributing securities for the quarter were Meta Platforms and Salesforce, and our largest detractors were Charles Schwab and APA Corporation. We continue to own each of these investments given their meaningful discounts to our estimate of business value. Additionally, we believe our investments within both energy and financials look particularly attractive today as many of our holdings in these sectors trade for single-digit multiples of their normal earnings. For a more detailed discussion of our view of the recent events in the banking industry, please see Bill Nygren's market commentary on page 2.
We initiated two new holdings and eliminated three others during the first calendar quarter. Specifically, we sold our positions in Cummins, Etsy and Gartner as each investment approached our estimate of intrinsic value. We believe our recent purchases of Kroger and Truist Financial, described below, are more attractive on a risk-adjusted return basis.
Kroger is the second-largest grocery retailer in America, behind only Walmart. Although the grocery industry is highly competitive, Kroger's scale advantages allow it to offer a more compelling value proposition than smaller peers and earn higher returns on capital. In recent years, the market has assigned Kroger a lower multiple due to concerns that e-commerce would disrupt traditional brick-and-mortar grocery businesses. However, we believe Kroger's performance through the pandemic highlighted that its store footprint, distribution infrastructure, technology investments and strong brand all position the company well for a world with higher online grocery adoption. The stock trades for just 10x our estimate of next year's EPS,7 which we believe is attractive given Kroger's competitive positioning and earnings growth outlook. The pending merger with Albertsons has the potential to drive accelerated earnings growth and further scale advantages. If the merger is not approved, the company will have the capacity to return over 25% of its market cap to shareholders.
Truist Financial Corp. is among the largest regional banks in the U.S. The company has a strong deposit franchise with high local market share, predominantly focused in fast-growing southeastern markets. The company's share price declined meaningfully this quarter, alongside most bank stocks, as
investors grew concerned about mark-to-market losses on its securities portfolio and potential deposit outflows. We believe the company's reputation, relationships and liquidity profile will allow it to weather this storm without material negative impact. The company's shares are currently valued at a single-digit multiple of our estimate of normalized earnings power. We believe this is a very attractive price for such a high-quality regional banking franchise that has historically generated a high-teens return on its tangible equity. Furthermore, the company's capital-light insurance brokerage subsidiary, which contributes little to tangible book value and just 10% of reported earnings, could be worth as much as 35% of the current stock price based on its recently announced minority sale price.
We thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your investment in the Oakmark Fund.

The Oakmark Select Fund ("the Fund") generated a 10.9% return compared to a 7.5% return for the S&P 500 Index2 during the first calendar quarter. We are pleased that the Fund is off to a good start in 2023, outperforming both the general market and value indexes. We believe that our disciplined investment approach will continue to drive attractive returns.
During the quarter, the largest contributing sectors were communication services and information technology. The largest detracting sectors were energy and real estate. The largest individual contributors were Salesforce and First Citizens BancShares. The largest individual detractors were APA Corporation and Wells Fargo.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank led to a broad sell-off in the banking sector in March. As a result, investors who can differentiate healthy banks from those that may be troubled faced an unusually good opportunity set. We took advantage of the relatively indiscriminate selling of bank stocks to initiate a new position in Charles Schwab and increase our investment in First Citizens and Wells Fargo. We sold our holdings in Allison Transmission, Citigroup and Netflix. Although we believe the stocks we sold remain undervalued, we think the stocks we bought with the proceeds are more attractive.
Charles Schwab is a company that we have followed closely for some time and that has been a holding in the Oakmark Fund since the third quarter of 2018. As the largest discount brokerage platform, Schwab has large scale advantages and a strong competitive position. The shares sold off significantly this quarter in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse as investors became concerned about mark-to-market losses on Schwab's securities portfolio. We believe these concerns are overstated and that the risk-reward now justifies holding Schwab shares in the more concentrated Oakmark Select Fund. While there are parallels to Silicon Valley Bank, we believe Schwab has a much higher quality deposit franchise, with deposit balances spread across more than 34 million accounts, the vast majority of which are FDIC insured. Schwab also has significantly positive book value after mark-to-market losses, unlike Silicon Valley Bank's negative book value. Finally, Schwab's far superior liquidity profile should allow it to absorb any deposit outflows with minimal long-term business impact. The recent price decline gave us the opportunity to buy shares in this industry leader at a low double-digit multiple of normalized earnings.
At Oakmark, we often talk about how aligning with great management teams stacks the deck in our favor, frequently leading to positive surprises that we can't precisely envision when we
first invest. Our investment in First Citizens is one such example. We initially purchased shares in First Citizens in the first quarter of 2021 after we came to appreciate the quality of the franchise and management team. Over the subsequent years, our estimate of intrinsic value increased, but the stock price did not keep up with the growth in intrinsic value. The disconnect widened further this quarter as the Silicon Valley Bank crisis unfolded. As a result, we added to our position.
As long-term value investors, we are used to deferred gratification—but, in this case, our decision was quickly rewarded. Not only did First Citizens avoid most of the mistakes made by the troubled banks, but it took advantage of the crisis by striking a deal to buy the majority of Silicon Valley's assets and liabilities from the FDIC just as the quarter came to a close. We believe this transaction added hundreds of dollars per share to the intrinsic value of the business in one fell swoop, the equivalent of many years of business value growth under more normal conditions. Stepping back, First Citizens has many of the attributes we look for in an investment, including high stock ownership by management, recent insider purchases and—particularly relevant in the current environment—trust from regulators. These positive attributes can be harder to quantify than the typical financial metrics, but, in our view, they are no less important.
We thank you, our fellow shareholders, for your investment in the Oakmark Select Fund.

"Before a man can do things there must be things he will not do."—Mencius
It would be hard to discuss the first quarter of 2023 without mentioning the surprising and astonishingly quick demise of a small group of U.S. banks in early March. Bill Nygren and David Herro discussed this topic in some detail in their commentaries on pages 2 and 24 respectively. Plus, there has been a tremendous amount of Monday morning quarterbacking on what happened and who's to blame, so we will keep our comments brief. In our opinion, early Chinese philosopher Mencius might have made a terrific banker. In banking, it's what management does not do that keeps them in the game. Every bank requires financing via deposits and no bank can survive a run on deposits, so it's incumbent on management teams to not do things to undermine their depositors' confidence. In the case of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, they took undue duration risk that left a hole in their balance sheets, albeit a theoretically temporary one since the government securities they invested in would eventually recover to par at maturity, such that depositors got nervous and fled, which then called into question just how temporary those losses might be and thus their solvency. Both banks had a uniquely low proportion of FDIC-insured deposits, which added to flight risk. Fortunately, the banks we own do not have the securities or deposit characteristics shared by these failed banks but their share prices were not immune from the carnage in the sector late in the quarter. As such, you should not be surprised to hear we added two new financials in the quarter, both of which have strong balance sheets and liquidity (even marked to market) that sold down to very attractive prices. Both management teams have strong reputations for not doing things in ways we and Mencius would admire.
Performance Review
Despite the turmoil late in the quarter, the first calendar quarter of 2023 was a good one for the Oakmark Global Fund ("the Fund") on both a relative and absolute basis. The Fund generated a 10.5% return as compared to a 7.7% return for the MSCI World Index (net).9 Since inception, the Fund has returned 9.3%, compared to 5.4% for the MSCI World Index (net).
Both the U.S. and non-U.S. portions of the portfolio contributed to this strong performance with the U.S. (46% of Fund)
contributing roughly 40% of the excess return and non-U.S. (54% of Fund) contributing the remaining 60%. The U.S., Germany and Ireland were the top contributors to performance, and the U.K., Italy and Spain were the smallest contributors, though it bears mentioning that no countries we owned were negative in the quarter. The most significant individual stock contributors were Alphabet, Bayer and TE Connectivity, while the largest detractors were Bank of America, Glencore and NOV.
Portfolio Activity
Given the volatility in the quarter, we were more active than usual adding six new names and selling seven.
We purchased AIG, Capgemini, Capital One, ConocoPhillips, Intercontinental Exchange and Envista Holdings and sold Axis Bank, Booking Holdings, Credit Suisse Group, Grupo Televisa, Howmet Aerospace, Mastercard and Pinterest.
With the exceptions of Credit Suisse and Grupo Televisa, the remaining sales were simply a function of price and value converging favorably. David Herro discussed the sale of Credit Suisse in his letter. Grupo Televisa had perennially disappointed us fundamentally, and we determined there were better alternatives where we had more confidence in a good outcome. A brief discussion of Mastercard is also appropriate given we have held this company for nearly 13 years. It's the 13th-largest contributor to performance for the Fund in our nearly 24-year history, but the largest in total dollars and percentage terms at nearly 1760%. While a terrific company, there were better priced alternatives in the quarter, so we sold our position. Our history with Mastercard fits the adage that all good things must come to an end.
American International Group (AIG) has been a long-term holding across other Oakmark Funds. As we referenced above, the market was painting financials with too broad a brush, and AIG is a great example. There are two primary businesses at AIG: commercial insurance (80% of our estimate of value) and life insurance and annuities (20% of our estimate of value). The latter, now named Corebridge, trades publicly, and AIG owns ~78% of the shares. We expect that AIG will reduce its ownership at appropriate prices over time, leaving the commercial insurance operations on its own. Under the strong leadership of

Oakmark Global Fund March 31, 2023
Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
CEO Peter Zaffino, underwriting profits in the commercial insurance operations have improved $7B since 2016 and are now competitive with the broader industry, though AIG's valuation is not. At $50, AIG sells for less than 8x this year's consensus earnings and 57% of our estimate of economic tangible book value.
Capgemini has also been a long-term holding across other Oakmark Funds and in fact was held in the Oakmark Global Fund as recently as 2021. As we commented in our fourth calendar quarter 2021 letter, we exited Capgemini as the shares approached our estimate of fair value and redeployed the funds into holdings that possessed more attractive return profiles. While we exited Capgemini due to valuation, we continued to follow the business given its high-quality franchise, its very attractive financial model and its strong leadership team. As Europe's largest IT consulting firm with expertise in digital transformation, Capgemini benefits from strong secular growth tailwinds while its scale enables it to generate high returns on capital with excellent free cash flow conversion. Despite this favorable long-term backdrop, Capgemini's shares fell significantly from our 2021 exit price on the back of the broad tech sell off as well as shorter term macro concerns, providing us with another opportunity to own this high-quality business at a substantial discount to our estimate of fair value.
Capital One Financial is another long-term Oakmark holding where the stock was dragged into the banking controversy despite not sharing the balance sheet risks (neither securities losses nor uninsured deposits) of the failed banks. Capital One has a terrific track record of both growth and risk management under founder CEO Richard Fairbank. We were buying Capital One at roughly 6x this year's consensus EPS7 and a discount to tangible book value. Furthermore, we believe long-term earnings power is well above what we will see this year.
ConocoPhillips is one of the largest and lowest cost U.S. exploration and production companies in the country, led by CEO Ryan Lance—in our view one of the best value creators in the industry. ConocoPhillips's share prices fell in the first quarter as oil prices receded, which is not atypical. We were buying the company at prices where it could generate its entire market cap in free cash flow over the next decade while growing the production such that at the end of that time, the base of production would be one-third higher. This sort of reinvestment opportunity is unique to ConocoPhillips and clearly not reflected in the current share price.
Intercontinental Exchange is one of the largest and most successful financial exchange operators. The company was created through a series of shrewd acquisitions under founder and CEO Jeff Sprecher. We believe Sprecher is an excellent CEO with a history of astute capital allocation and an ability to adapt to opportunities and competitive threats. Today, Intercontinental Exchange competes in three primary segments: exchanges, fixed income/data services and mortgage technology. We believe each of these businesses exhibits attractive economic characteristics and will grow earnings faster than GDP over time. Investors today are concerned about Intercontinental Exchange's mortgage segment as rising interest rates have depressed origination volumes. We agree that this segment will be pressured in the near term. However, only 7% of trailing 12-month revenues are sensitive to mortgage volumes, and we believe they will eventually revert to historical norms. Today,
however, Intercontinental Exchange sells for what we believe is an underserved discount to its exchange peers and private market valuations.
Envista Holdings is a leading dental products manufacturer. You may recall this was a successful investment dating back to 2020 that we sold less than a year ago. During the tumult in smaller capitalization companies in the first quarter, the share price once again met our criteria for investment, and its strong fundamentals matched our expectations. Unfortunately, the market began to agree with our assessment of attractiveness before we could build a full position. This is both a high-quality problem and a reality for investors as value conscious as we are.

The Oakmark Global Select Fund ("the Fund") returned 9.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, outperforming the MSCI World Index (net),9 which returned 7.7%. Since its inception in October 2006, the Fund has returned an average of 7.1% per year, outperforming the MSCI World Index (net)'s annualized gain of 6.4% over the same period.
Alphabet, a global communication services provider based in the U.S., was a top contributor to the Fund's performance for the quarter. Fourth-quarter earnings for Alphabet came in around consensus expectations in most of its key business areas, and much of management's discussion on the earnings call revolved around the recent AI developments and costs. CEO Sundar Pichai said Alphabet is an "AI-first company" that is "extremely well-positioned as AI reaches an inflection point." He expressed excitement about the AI-driven developments the company plans to unveil in search and other areas. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler suggested that, just as mobile computing helped drive higher revenue and profits in search, AI should also have a positive impact on financial performance. Notably, CFO Ruth Porat pushed back on the idea that higher computing costs related to AI-driven services would incrementally pressure profitability. Pichai also said the company is "on an important journey to re-engineer our cost structure in a durable way." Porat did not provide detail in terms of quantifying savings. However, she noted that the company is slowing the pace of operating expenditures growth, including a meaningful slowing in the pace of hiring in 2023, with most of the impact expected to become more visible in the financials in 2024. She implied that margins are expected to go up over the next couple of years, mentioning that "revenues will grow faster than expenses." Total capital expenditures in 2023 are expected to be in line with the 2022 level. In aggregate, management expressed confidence in the business prospects across search, YouTube, cloud and various other key businesses, but Porat observed that "the challenging macroeconomic climate is ongoing." Overall, we believe the company is positioned well to reap the benefits of the scale of its search business and years of investment into AI capabilities. We also appreciate that the company is transforming its views on cost discipline and efficiency. Our research indicates that Alphabet is trading around its lowest relative price-to-earnings ratio on forward consensus
earnings since its initial public offering 20 years ago. When we adjust our valuation for losses in its "Other Bets" segment and include an asset value for its cloud segment, we believe the stock trades at an even lower multiple. To us, this is too cheap of a valuation for a company with businesses, like search, YouTube and Android, which have durable competitive advantages and attractive secular growth outlooks.
American International Group (AIG), a U.S.-based multinational finance and insurance corporation, was a top detractor for the period. AIG's share price declined during the quarter as a result of broader concerns stemming from the banking crisis. We have found that during times of financial stress, AIG tends to trade like a life insurer, even though we attribute only around 20% of its value to Corebridge. We do not agree with the market's perceived assumption that life insurers' risk profiles have increased meaningfully and will suffer asset impairments as they did during the global financial crisis. In our view, this panic is quite different from the global financial crisis. Most of today's problems are the result of an asset and liability mismatch rather than a credit crisis. We believe that AIG's core general insurance business drives most of the company's value, and, in our view, underwriting has seen tremendous improvement since CEO Peter Zaffino joined the company. Since 2016, underwriting profits have improved by $7 billion, and $2 billion of that improvement occurred in 2022. The combined ratio in 2022 was in the low 90% range, and Zaffino believes that this can be below 90% in a few years. The company has accomplished this while lowering insurance limits by roughly half, which dramatically narrows the range of underwriting outcomes. In addition, AIG has been going through a major cost-savings plan for the last several years in preparation for the separation. Part of this plan is to simplify and collapse the reporting structure for the general insurance operations, and we believe the lower general operating costs will have a positive effect on the combined ratio. Ultimately, we believe the company remains an attractive investment given its discount to our perception of its intrinsic value.
During the quarter, we sold our positions in Booking Holdings (U.S.), Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland), Netflix (U.S.) and Richemont (Switzerland) in favor of names that offer more potential upside, in our opinion.

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
Additionally, we initiated a position in Intercontinental Exchange (U.S.) during the quarter. Intercontinental Exchange is one of the largest and most successful financial exchange operators. The company was created through a series of shrewd acquisitions under founder and CEO Jeff Sprecher. We believe Sprecher is an excellent CEO with a history of astute capital allocation and an ability to adapt to opportunities and competitive threats. Today, Intercontinental Exchange competes in three primary segments: exchanges, fixed income/data services and mortgage technology. We believe each of these businesses exhibits attractive economic characteristics and will grow earnings faster than GDP over time. Investors today are concerned about Intercontinental Exchange's mortgage segment as rising interest rates have depressed origination volumes. We agree that this segment will be pressured in the near term. However, only 7% of trailing 12-month revenues are sensitive to mortgage volumes, and we believe they will eventually revert to historical norms. Today, however, Intercontinental Exchange sells for what we believe is an underserved discount to its exchange peers and private market valuations.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with 53.7% of the portfolio in the U.S., 34.9% in the U.K. and Europe, and 11.4% in Asia.
We thank you for your continued support.

Fellow Shareholders,
The International Funds had a strong quarter both in absolute and relative returns. The Oakmark International Fund had a notable return of 13.9%, which added to its strong fourth quarter of 2022 performance of over 20%. This positive result was driven mostly by a rebound in our European holdings, especially those based in Germany. Note in our third-quarter 2022 commentary that we discussed "The Case for European Equities." Though it is pleasing to see a rebound in European share prices, it should be noted that they still sell at measurable discounts compared to share prices in the rest of the world.
Bank or Banking System Crisis?
With the events surrounding Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), March saw prices of banks severely negatively impacted globally. In fact, even blue-chip banks, like BNP Paribas, were down as much as 25% in March before they slightly recovered. We feel this price reaction was overdone and not at all consistent with business fundamentals, as the global banking system has changed materially since the global financial crisis (GFC) when banks were far less capitalized and the quality of the assets they held was often poor. Following the crisis in 2008, new regulations were enacted that required banks to significantly grow their reserves and capital bases. As a result, lending and shareholder returns were muted and valuations were generally low, but the system became stronger.
The recent stress in the banking sector, highlighted by the collapse of SVB and Signature Bank, can be largely attributed to poor risk management at the affected institutions. There was a significant mismatch with the duration of their deposits (short term) and assets (long term). In addition, SVB had explosive growth in deposits with a high percentage of those above the FDIC insurance level that came from a non-diversified client
base with concentrated exposure to niche industries, like venture capital and cryptocurrency. When these industries contracted significantly after the pandemic-induced boom, it resulted in a decline in deposits and a difficulty for the banks to honor withdrawals without realizing heavy losses on their high-quality but long-dated investments, which culminated with solvency fears and a run on the bank. Please see Bill's commentary on page 2 for more on this.
In contrast, our European bank holdings have securities portfolios that are much smaller as a percentage of assets than their U.S. counterparts. This results in our select European bank holdings having significantly less potential for unrealized losses in their securities portfolios than their U.S. peers. In fact, marking to market the securities portfolios of our European bank holdings would have an immaterial impact on their net worth and regulatory capital. Moreover, our European bank holdings possess strong and diversified deposit bases that should benefit from a flight to quality during periods of uncertainty.
Furthermore, given banks now have higher amounts of capital on their balance sheets (see chart below) and higher quality assets, we believe they are poised to benefit from what we view as a triple positive: interest rate spreads increasing, resilient economies, and the ability to use earnings to grow their businesses or return capital to shareholders. Some of the highest quality banks we own, such as Intesa Sanpaolo, Lloyds Banking Group and BNP Paribas, are trading at low price-to-book11 and price-to-earnings1 ratios with high-dividend yields, 10%+ free cash flow yields, and excess capital to use toward increasing dividends or buying back stock. In the case of BNP Paribas, it sold Bank of the West in January for $16 billion, or 1.75-times book value, and it can use proceeds to repurchase its own shares at around half of book value, which is very value accretive.

Market Commentary (continued)
In summation, while certain banks are or were in crisis, we believe the banking system itself is not in crisis. Instead, we think banks provide opportunity for disciplined and patient investors.
Finally, an End to Our Investment in Credit Suisse
We were shareholders in Credit Suisse for more than two decades. We sold down much of our position prior to the GFC after the share price appreciated significantly and then rebuilt the position after the GFC. The second holding period was troubled and full of controversy as Credit Suisse's investment bank experienced repeated lapses in risk management concurrent with its attempts to compete with more scaled peers. Despite this, we, in hindsight, incorrectly remained focused on our sum-of-the-parts valuation and gained comfort in the strong performance of its wealth management, asset management and Swiss Universal Bank businesses as they continued to generate better than average returns. We believed that the three better businesses represented good value and that the investment bank was repairable. Despite numerous attempts by multiple leadership teams at Credit Suisse, our thesis was proven wrong. Finally, after the last investment banking restructuring plan and capital raise released last October, we determined it was time to reevaluate our investment thesis as we do whenever there is a fundamental change in one of our holdings. The release of the plan provided us with NO insight into the proceeds from the asset sales as well as the costs of restructuring the investment bank. As such, we concluded that an accurate business valuation was indeterminable and compounded by inevitable years of cash outflows. In addition, Credit Suisse's key wealth management franchise experienced elevated client withdrawals and risks of reputational damage to its wealth franchise brand grew. As such, we made the decision to exit our position in the fall of 2022 and completed our exit in early March of this year.
Investment Opportunity in Volatility
We find the presence of volatility usually widens the discrepancy between share price and the underlying intrinsic value of a business. As a fundamentally driven value investment manager, it presents us with the opportunity to advantageously position portfolios to maximize long-term return potential as demonstrated by what occurred in March within the global financial sector. If the share price of a high-quality business decreases sharply without a corresponding decline in our estimated intrinsic value, we use that as an opportunity to add to the position. As share prices converge with our perception of business value, we reduce position size. In previous times of crises, we adhered to our disciplined and time-tested investment process—and we will continue to do so.
Thank you for your continued support.

The Oakmark International Fund ("the Fund") returned 13.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the benchmark, the MSCI World ex U.S. Index (net),12 which returned 8.0% for the same period. In addition, the Fund has returned an average of 8.7% per year since its inception in September 1992, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Index, which has averaged 5.8% per year over the same period. For additional color on our views of the market environment during the most recent quarter, please see David Herro's Market commentary on page 24.
Continental (Germany), one of Europe's largest tire and automotive component manufacturers, was a top contributor to the Fund's performance for the quarter. Continental released results for 2022 that demonstrated significant progress in its automotive division, which had been experiencing challenging conditions and mixed financial performance. The business grew roughly 13% faster than the light vehicle production business on an organic basis due to a combination of volume and price increases. These price increases were necessary to offset severe material cost inflation, and the automotive division demonstrated a clear return to profitability in the fourth quarter with 2.1% margins. At the same time, additional detail highlighted a strong order intake and encouraging results at growth subsegments of the automotive division. The company's tires segment, which is by far its largest in terms of earnings (and in terms of value, in our view), produced results at the high end of guidance thanks largely to a 19.3% increase in contribution from pricing and product mix. While ContiTech and free-cash-flow performance came in shy of expectations, we found the overall result to be encouraging. Looking forward, 2023 guidance called for revenue growth well in excess of our forecasts and continued progress in automotive profitability. We spoke with CEO Nikolai Setzer during the quarter and came away with conviction that management is steering Continental in the right direction and that the company's financial results will improve due to both internal actions and improvements in external conditions relating to supply chain constraints and light vehicle production.
Glencore (Switzerland), one of the world's largest mining firms, was a notable detractor for the first quarter. The company's full-year 2022 results were strong in an absolute sense, including an 84% increase in EBIT17 year over year, but they fell short of market expectations. This shortfall was driven entirely by the industrial business. In contrast, marketing significantly exceeded our expectations and produced adjusted earnings of $6.38 billion, nearly double the high end of Glencore's long-term guidance for the segment, due to exceptional profitability from the energy segment. The industrial division fell short of our expectations due to a mix of production issues in coal and at two copper assets, Katanga and Mt. Isa, as well as cost inflation related to labor, diesel and explosives. Glencore also announced
an incremental $7.1 billion of distributions to shareholders. While a very high number and implied yield, this was actually somewhat lower than had been expected under Glencore's capital allocation policy due to weaker free-cash generation during 2022 driven by working capital constraints. During a call with management, CEO Gary Nagle revealed that the company sees significant latent potential to double its copper business organically over the next decade via brownfield expansions and an attractive greenfield project in Argentina. Although the company is waiting until the market demands the tons, Glencore is acquiring land, conducting sample testing and doing permitting work to help ensure these projects can be completed within a timely manner once sanctioned. Further, Nagle remains committed to the rundown of Glencore's coal assets over time in accordance with the company's strategy, but he reiterated the belief that they should be very strong profit and cash flow contributors for the company due to an attractive cost position and favorable supply/demand dynamics. We continue to believe that Glencore is an attractive holding and that management is committed to delivering value for shareholders.
During the quarter, we sold our positions in Grupo Televisa ADR (Mexico), Philips (Netherlands), Rolls-Royce Holdings (U.K.) and Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland) in favor of names that offer more potential upside in our opinion.
We initiated the below positions during the quarter:
• Eurofins Scientific is a Luxembourg-based laboratory services company with 940 laboratories in 59 countries. We believe Eurofin's scaled, focused lab testing networks possess superior market positions and high barriers to entry. In our view, the company has best-in-class exposure to secularly growing end markets in pharmaceutical, food and environmental testing. We find the company has an attractive formula of network expansion through both organic and inorganic growth. Finally, we appreciate that Giles Martin, the company's founder and executive chairman, has a large ownership interest in the company and a strong long-term track record.
• Brenntag is based in Germany and one of the top global chemical distributors. The company is responsible for connecting chemical manufacturers to manufacturer end customers, purchasing larger quantities of chemicals, and re-packing those chemicals for customers. In our view, Brenntag's position in the specialty chemical distribution market affords the company an attractive opportunity for high growth, serving around 100,000 customers with products from thousands of suppliers. Further, the global chemical distribution market grows faster than the global chemical manufacturing market at a 3-5% compound annual growth rate versus 2-4%. As such, we believe that market leaders, like Brenntag, can grow even faster through consolidation

by manufacturers and higher gross margins, making its growth far less cyclical than the underlying chemical markets. We appreciate management's multi-year plan to reorganize the business structure to align with the distinct needs of specialty and commodity markets, sharpen incentives, increase focus on value-over-volume, and trim Brenntag's cost structure, which should help the company close its performance deficit while retaining upside optionality, in our view.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 87.4% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 9.6% in Asia, 2.5% in North America (Canada), and 0.5% in Australasia.
We thank you for your continued support.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return includes change in share prices and, in each case, includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. The investment return and principal value vary so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Prior to December 3, 2018, the Fund imposed a 2% redemption fee on shares redeemed within 90 days of purchase; the Fund's performance for periods prior to that date does not reflect the 2% redemption fee.

The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("the Fund") returned 6.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, outperforming the MSCI World ex U.S. Small Cap Index (net),15 which returned 5.0%. Since its inception in November 1995, the Fund has returned an average of 8.5% per year. For additional color on our views of the market environment during the most recent quarter, please see David Herro's market commentary on page 24.
TeamViewer, a German remote access and remote-control computer software company, was a top contributor to the Fund's performance for the quarter. During the quarter, TeamViewer released results for fiscal year 2022 that slightly exceeded billings guidance and came in at the high end of the guided profitability range, thereby surpassing both our and the market's expectations. TeamViewer's core SMB business demonstrated accelerated growth of 18% in the fourth quarter thanks to successful upsell campaigns and strong pricing. At the same time, the company's burgeoning Enterprise offering continued to demonstrate strong progress, and its billings grew by 42% for the fiscal year. The company's adjusted EBITDA18 margin hit the upper end of guidance at 47% in 2022, reflecting stable margins year over year despite a significant increase in marketing expenditure related to agreements with Manchester United and Mercedes Formula 1. Looking ahead, management anticipates stable margins in 2023 despite an increase in R&D spending. There is also significant margin upside potential if the company is able to successfully downgrade its sponsorship with Manchester United, as stipulated in a recently reached agreement. The company announced it will be shifting to a revenue-based guidance framework and provide more disclosure around its annual recurring revenue to increase transparency. We view this change positively. Finally, TeamViewer bought back roughly EUR 300 million of shares in 2022 (over 10% of outstanding shares) at an average price of around EUR 12.50 per share. The company simultaneously paid down significant net debt during the fiscal year, which brought its leverage in line with mid-term targets, providing the opportunity for a new share buyback program of up to EUR 150 million in 2023. We believe management is taking the right steps to continue to improve TeamViewer's financial performance and that it remains an attractive investment.
Software AG, an enterprise software company based in Germany, was a top detractor for the period. The share price of Software AG fell after the company released full-year results in January. For the fourth calendar quarter, revenue outpaced market expectations, while margins in the Digital Business Platform (DBP) business came in shy of forecasts. However, the company's results for the full year were solid, from our perspective, and overall performance exceeded our estimates. Excluding the impact from its recent acquisition of StreamSets, Software AG's total product revenue rose 7% year-over-year and its bookings
advanced 15%, while its adjusted operating profit margin gained 160 basis points and finished 2022 at 21.2%. By segment, DBP revenues and bookings grew 7% and 12%, respectively. Concurrently, A&N (Adabas & Natural) segment revenues increased by 8%, and bookings rose 23% from the prior year. Furthermore, annual recurring revenue grew 10% on an organic basis. However, we were somewhat disappointed by management's 2023 guidance of total product revenue growth of 6-10% for the full year and an operating profit margin range of 16-18%, which were below the original levels aimed for in Software AG's strategic plan known as Helix. When we spoke with CEO Sanjay Brahmawar and CFO Daniela Bunger, they explained that the margin compression was due to both a faster than expected SaaS transition as well as standard cost inflation on salaries and other expenses. Although the SaaS transition should ultimately add value to the company, to address near-term concerns, management is implementing a cost-efficiency program that includes a 4% headcount reduction, process simplification and discretionary expense cuts. We believe these steps will benefit Software AG and significantly improve its results going forward.
We initiated the below positions during the quarter:
• Colliers International Group (Canada) was established in 2004 as the commercial property services division of the residential real estate services firm FirstService before it was spun off in 2015. The company is the fourth-largest global diversified real estate services firm. In our view, Colliers is a leader in commercial real estate (CRE) services, sustaining a long history of through-cycle, double-digit growth and increasing profitability. Over time, the company has grown at or ahead of peers on an organic basis, and its asset management business reached around $98 billion in assets under management at the end of 2022. In addition to organic growth, Colliers's management team is also supplementing growth through mergers and acquisitions with a proven and highly repeatable approach, which they have successfully used across different end markets and locations. We believe Colliers's unique equity-retention approach allows the company to successfully diversify its service offerings more rapidly than its competitors, which typically target scale-driven acquisitions. We also appreciate that Colliers's business mix is shifting toward what we view as higher margin and more recurring activities with less cyclicity, such as asset management and outsourcing and advisory. Recent macroeconomic concerns have caused a sell-off in all CRE firms, which gave us an attractive opportunity to invest in Colliers.
• Kansai Paint (Japan) is the market leader and largest paint and coatings manufacturer in Japan. Its products are used primarily for automobiles, construction and ships along with bridges and residential housing. The majority of the

company's business comes from Japan, but it also has customers in Europe, the U.S., China and India. We view the paint industry as attractive due to its consistent profitability across both industry participants and time. While each segment of the industry is different, the business is characterized by high technological barriers to entry, strong brand recognition, strong customer relationships, healthy degrees of maintenance revenue, and moderate to low capital requirements. In addition, globally the industry is consolidated, so pricing tends to be rational. We like that Kansai Paint has strong market positions in emerging markets as the majority of operating profit comes from these areas. The company has leading market positions in India and South Africa as well as good exposure throughout emerging Asia. Lastly, we are pleased with Kansai's management team, which has kept costs under control while successfully expanding outside of the company's home market, and we appreciate its focus on operating margins and return on equity.
• Medmix (Switzerland) is a business we know well as it was formerly Sulzer's applicators business and spun out as a standalone company in September 2021. We held Medmix shares briefly following the spin-off, but exited the position above CHF 40 per share in the fourth calendar quarter of 2021 as it was near our estimate of intrinsic value. Medmix manufactures high-precision delivery devices for the mixing, application and injection of liquids serving the dental, construction, chemical and the health care markets. The products Medmix sells typically represent 1-2% of the end market cost of its customers' products and are considered mission critical to its customers, leading to stable growth and attractive high-teens EBITA19 margins. Medmix's share price declined more than 60% in 2022, mostly due to Victor Vekelsberg, a Russian oligarch, who is Medmix's largest shareholder (40% stake) and has also been personally sanctioned by both the EU and the U.S. These sanctions had no material impact on Medmix's operations, but in May 2022 the Polish government deemed Medmix to be "Russian controlled" and forced it to cease operations in the country, which resulted in the closure of a plant that accounted for approximately 15% of group revenues. This had an adverse impact on profitability in 2022 and will have more limited impact on 2023 results. By 2024, the Polish capacity should be completely moved to Spain. We estimate that the loss of the Polish plant will reduce group-wide EBIT17 by 5-7% over the mid term, compared to a 60% decline in share price last year. This situation provided us with a compelling opportunity to invest in a high-quality, niche business.
During the quarter, we sold MGM China Holdings (China) as its share price approached our estimate of intrinsic value.
Geographically, we ended the quarter with approximately 80.1% of our holdings in Europe and the U.K., 10.6% in Asia, and 3.7% in Australasia. The remaining positions are in the Americas with 3.2% in Latin America (Mexico), 1.8% in North America (Canada), and 0.6% in Africa/Middle East (Israel).

Navigating the Summit: Steering Through the Height of a Rate Hike Cycle
The recent regional bank crisis serves as a powerful reminder of two critical realities: first, major rate-hiking cycles often reveal unexpected vulnerabilities before reaching their conclusion, and second, central bankers today face a historically difficult set of unique challenges. Despite a surge in optimism and rally in asset prices at the end of the past quarter, we must not overlook the persistence of these challenges.
As we find ourselves nearing the apex of one of the most significant hike cycles in modern financial history, central banks face the difficult decision between prioritizing price stability and ensuring financial stability. The current high inflation environment places greater limitations on policymakers compared to most other post-Volcker rate hike cycles, which were characterized by low inflation. This makes it increasingly challenging to determine how to protect financial markets. In a high inflation environment, insufficient rate hikes and premature rate reductions can set off spiraling prices, while excessive rate hikes and persistently high rates can produce unanticipated fractures, a credit crunch, and, ultimately, a recession. The recent run on regional bank deposits exemplifies the ramifications of the latter scenario. Even with the ongoing bank crisis, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues will likely remain focused on price stability in the near term to avoid historical notoriety as the only central banking group in more than 40 years to lose control over inflation. As a result, we may experience additional negative shocks before we emerge from the turbulence.
Nevertheless, the aggregate economic impact doesn't have to be devastating. Numerous individual elements can falter without posing a collective systemic risk. Addressing financial market excesses and vulnerabilities one by one might not only be a tolerable function of financial tightening but also a healthy and desirable development. [We believe that with incremental regulation, the risk of a few more failures, and ultimately further consolidation, the banking industry could become one of these welcomed developments.] Furthermore, as detailed in our 2023 outlook, inflation might naturally recede without a major economic recession—a thesis that recent economic data supports.
The truth is no one knows precisely how events will unfold. As we have consistently underscored in our previous commentaries, we do not attempt to predict short-term outcomes from a wide array of economic events. Given today's complex financial landscape and staggering day-to-day price fluctuations, it is essential to stay focused on long-term fundamentals. Although daily headlines may sway short-term prices, normalized corporate profits and cash flows will ultimately drive valuations over
longer time horizons. With this in mind, let's examine the key fundamental factors that could shape the financial markets and hopefully provide investors with some tools they can use to navigate this rate hike cycle.
We are impressed by the resilience of the fundamental data. As part of our bottom-up investment approach, we assess the lagged effects of monetary policy tightening through balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements and discussions with management rather than focusing on technical charts, headlines or famous hedge fund managers' tweets. Cash flow trends, labor decisions, CEO confidence and capital allocation plans currently show relatively mild negative effects of policy tightening. This resilience is reason to be positive. It's important to recognize, however, that rapid policy changes can cause unexpected problems even when the most fundamental data implies the economy is on firm footing, as evidenced by recent issues in the banking sector. As such, we are closely monitoring how the banking crisis might affect lending and credit distribution. Loan volumes for real estate, businesses and credit card debt have already been influenced by higher interest rates, and these trends will likely be exacerbated by stricter lending standards as banks become increasingly conservative. The threat of government regulation is likely to increase these costs as well. Fixed income market participants are also in the process of recalibrating what they need to get for taking on bank bond risk given the recent events. When the Swiss National Bank announced its takeover of Credit Suisse, it indicated that Credit Suisse shareholders would receive payouts, but owners of Credit Suisse's AT1 bonds would receive nothing. This upends the normal hierarchy of payouts during a takeover—that debt holders receive priority. In this case, however, Credit Suisse's AT1 bonds had specific terms that allowed the regulators to write down the bonds to zero. This language is very rare, but this event along with the near-zero recovery outcomes for Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank preferred owners will likely cause investors to require more return in the more subordinated levels of bank capital structures—at least in the short to medium term—which would in turn increase future funding costs.
Outside of the banking crisis, we are monitoring risks to corporate profits and specifically to corporate margins. Business profit margins in our credit universe have been declining consistently over the past year, but they still are better than their historical averages. As pricing power continues to decrease and economic demand softens due to the lagged effects of higher interest rates, it's more likely that these will revert to the mean or even through the mean, rather than remain elevated.

Fixed Income Market Commentary (continued)
Despite increased risks, as we have talked about in the last few commentaries, corporate balance sheets outside of the banking system are robust compared to the end of past major hike cycles. Although it's prudent to consider the possibility that the banking sector's issues could spill over into the broader economy, recent economic data continues to display encouraging signs. In February, existing home sales significantly beat expectations, and unemployment claims declined from already low levels. The most recent data in March showed promising signs for inflation and continued resilience in labor markets. (Upon finalizing this publication, we note that the most recent ISM manufacturing and services data, which measures the U.S. economy's production levels monthly, from the first week of April reveal a notable weakening. These data points will serve to counteract some of the resilient data observed in the first-quarter numbers.)
As we approach the peak of one of the most significant rate hike cycles in recent history, it's vital to recognize the challenges central banks encounter in striking a balance between price and financial stability. The recent regional bank crisis underscores the likelihood that unanticipated vulnerabilities and risks could emerge during this period and threaten economic growth, especially if credit availability and lending costs are negatively impacted. On the other hand, key economic data and business fundamentals have demonstrated resilience, and while the banking system needs short-term solutions, addressing financial market excesses and vulnerabilities in a step-by-step manner could lead to a more robust and stable economy. By adopting a balanced perspective and focusing on long-term economic wellbeing, investors can effectively traverse the highs and lows of the financial landscape.

The biggest investor debate entering the first calendar quarter was whether the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes would lead to a recession. Although we still don't have a definitive answer to that question, these aggressive hikes did play a role in this quarter's biggest news, the collapse of both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which marked the biggest setback in the banking industry since the global financial crisis. Other than the bank failures, however, these two events actually have very little in common. The financial crisis began as a credit problem. A precipitous drop in housing prices led to a large decline in the value of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). These securities comprised a significant part of many financial companies' assets, so the declines left many of those companies with little or no equity value. These problems were magnified further because many mortgages were packaged in opaque securities that were difficult to value. In response, the Federal Reserve cut the Federal Funds rate to zero and implemented numerous policies to support the banks and provide them with liquidity. Lawmakers passed the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010, which increased capital and liquidity requirements for the nation's largest banks and mandated yearly stress tests.
Today's concerns are driven more by liquidity and the rapid changes in interest rates than by credit quality. After Covid-19, many banks were inundated with deposits. For some regional banks, like Silicon Valley Bank, these deposits were largely uninsured (above $250K) and sourced from commercial relationships, wealthy clients and venture capital-backed firms. Historically, such deposits have been relatively stable, so regulators were not alarmed. Banks used these deposits to purchase longer maturity government-backed mortgage securities. Although these securities have no credit risk, they do have duration risk, meaning they can go down in value if interest rates increase. Duration risk didn't worry many bank treasurers because the Fed had kept short-term rates close to zero for more than a decade. However, this surge in deposits and banks' subsequent MBS-buying could not have been more poorly timed as the Federal Reserve soon began raising rates at its most aggressive pace in decades. The rapid increase in interest rates left much of the banking sector with mark-to-market losses on their securities portfolios. While not ideal, such losses typically do not pose a major threat to most banks. They represent a relatively small percentage of their equity, and most banks have enough sources of liquidity and stable enough deposit franchises that they can just allow these longer duration securities to mature at par.
However, for the banks that most aggressively extended the duration of their MBS securities and also had an exceedingly high percentage of uninsured deposits, they faced a toxic combination. The uninsured deposits turned out to be much less sticky than history would have suggested. Technology makes today's depositors much more interconnected and also makes it much easier for depositors to quickly transfer their money to other institutions. Once the bank runs started, transfer requests drained both banks' liquidity within days, and they were taken over by the FDIC.
In response to the crisis, the FDIC insured all deposits of both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The Federal Reserve also provided banks with access to several facilities to bolster their current liquidity. For the banks with manageable asset marks and a higher percentage of insured deposits, these actions seem to have stabilized confidence. Longer term, smaller banks will probably face more scrutiny, and the 2017 rule that exempted smaller banks from the subjective portion of the Federal Reserve stress tests will likely be rescinded. Some of the liquidity rules that apply to larger banks will now also probably be applied to smaller banks. To better match asset-liability duration, regulators may count at least some losses in the available-for-sale (AFS) portfolio of the smaller banks against capital. The largest banks will also likely be assessed a disproportionally high fee to replenish the FDIC insurance fund. One thing that does not seem likely to happen, however, is further consolidation by the nation's largest banks. This is a nonstarter politically, even though there is sound fundamental logic behind it. Even with the short-term pressure from the higher FDIC fee and the absence of consolidation, we believe that the nation's largest banks likely take deposit share and further improve their competitive positions.
The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund has 29% of its equity portfolio in financials. This made the March sell-off painful, but we do not believe that this has meaningfully changed the value of most of our financial equity holdings. In fact, we were adding to financial positions throughout March. We believe that one way to analyze our financial holdings is to look at them in different buckets given their various business models and risk profiles. Almost 30% of our financial exposure is in insurance companies and insurance brokers. Insurance companies have very stable liability profiles, so the main risk is a change in asset values. We are comfortable with their investment portfolios and think these stocks are quite attractive.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund March 31, 2023
Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)
Around 5% of our financials are asset managers. These companies are exposed to market risk but should have strong inflows and benefit from rising stock and fixed income markets. Two percent of the portfolio is in Intercontinental Exchange, an exchange operator and mortgage technology provider that faces few of the risks of a typical bank. This leaves a little over 40% of the financials exposure in a varied group of banks and lenders. About 5% of that portfolio is in Bank of America and State Street. These two banks are designated as Systematically Important Financial Institutions and are held to higher regulatory standards. Our largest single financials holding is Bank of America, which has grown deposits during March, and we believe it is one of the best managed companies in the sector. State Street is a trust bank that does very little lending, has significant excess capital, and should benefit from rising net interest income. Capital One and Ally Financial are consumer lenders whose deposits are primarily insured deposits that should be quite stable. Their near-term earnings could be pressured by slowing economic growth, but we believe that both trade at mid-single-digit multiples of their normalized earnings. The last financials holding is the discount brokerage firm Charles Schwab. Of all our financials holdings, Schwab is the most impacted by current events. Its banking segment has experienced a steady outflow of deposits, which were reinvested in the firm's money market funds. The company has also experienced large downward marks on its MBS portfolio. What gives us comfort is that Schwab has enough liquidity to support its operations even if all deposits leave, which we believe is very unlikely to happen. These events will no doubt impact Schwab's near-term earnings power, but we believe it trades at an attractive multiple of earnings for a company we expect to grow net new assets at a high single-digit rate organically.
First Calendar Quarter Review
The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("the Fund") increased 3.3% during the first calendar quarter, compared to a 4.3% increase for the Lipper Balanced Fund Index.20 For the trailing three years, the Fund is up 15.1%, compared to a 9.6% increase for the Lipper Index. Since its inception in 1995, the Fund's compounded annual rate of return is 9.4%, while the Lipper Index's return is 6.7%. The equities were up 4.4% in the quarter compared to a 7.5% gain for the S&P 500 Index.2 The equities portion of the Fund underperformed this quarter due to the overweight in financial stocks and the underweight in technology stocks. The Fund is managed as an all-capitalization fund, and the mid-cap stock performance trailed the larger stock performance. This is a continuation of a more than decade-long trend of mid-cap underperformance. We continue to find numerous opportunities in the mid-cap universe and believe these stocks increase the attractiveness of the overall portfolio. The fixed income portion of the Fund was up 2% versus 3% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate22 due to a slightly lower duration and exposure to Silicon Valley Bank bonds.
The largest contributors to the portfolio's return in the quarter were Alphabet, BorgWarner, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery and TE Connectivity. The largest detractors were Charles Schwab, Bank of America, Glencore, American International Group and EOG Resources. As discussed earlier in the letter, this was a rough quarter for financial stocks, which can be seen in the biggest detractors.
Transactions
We added two new positions, Corebridge and Wendy's, in the quarter. Corebridge is a life and retirement company that was partially spun off from American International Group (AIG) through an initial public offering last fall. Corebridge has extensive, long-standing relationships with many of the largest financial institutions to sell various retirement products. It is also one of the largest retirement service providers to the education market through VALIC Financial Advisors. It also operates a high-performing, seasoned life insurance business. The market is valuing the company like it is just a variable annuity provider despite its much more diversified and stable earnings stream. Part of the discount is due to the lack of liquidity and an overhang from AIG's 77% ownership, which will eventually be brought to market. Trading at five times our estimate of normalized distributable cash flow, the stock is highly attractive to us, and we are willing to wait for the ownership overhang to resolve itself.
Wendy's is the second-largest quick-service burger chain in the U.S. This iconic brand generates $13.3 billion of systemwide sales from 7,095 restaurant locations around the world. Wendy's is an asset-light franchisor that earns most of its profits from royalties, franchise fees and rent. The business is insulated from food and labor inflation since 95% of the restaurant base is owned and operated by franchisees. Wendy's topline has proven remarkably resilient through diverse economic climates, producing 12 straight years of positive same-restaurant sales. The company is well-positioned for accelerating topline growth due to its recent launch of a breakfast menu, steady market share gains, international expansion and new restaurant openings. Despite these favorable characteristics, we had an opportunity to purchase shares at ~17x free cash flow, representing a discount to its quick-service restaurant peers as well as private market transactions.
During the quarter, we eliminated three positions: Howmet, Keurig Dr Pepper and LivaNova. Howmet performed well and reached our sell target. This is our second successful investment with CEO John Plant, whom we rank among the top CEOs. Keurig was another successful holding that reached our sell target. We purchased LivaNova with the thesis that the core medical technology business was trading below private market value despite the company's promising pipeline of future devices. Although the investment was slightly profitable for the Fund, both the base business and pipeline failed to meet our fundamental expectations, so we decided to sell our position in favor of more attractive alternatives.
We would like to thank our fellow shareholders for their investment in the Fund and welcome any questions or comments.

Performance
The Oakmark Bond Fund ("the Fund") returned +1.72% in the first calendar quarter of 2023, underperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,22 which returned 2.96%. Despite the weak relative quarter, inception-to-date performance remains acceptable in a market environment characterized by slowing growth and rising interest rates. The Fund generated a total return since inception of –1.52% through March 31, 2023, compared to the benchmark total return of –3.80%.
The Fund's underperformance was primarily due to two problematic positions that we will detail below. Overall, our security selection for the quarter accounted for ~1.14% of underperformance. The Fund's largest contributors to and detractors from security selection performance for the quarter were Ally Financial 4.7% perpetual preferred bonds, Warnermedia Holdings Inc. 4.054% senior unsecured bonds of 2029, Netflix Inc. 4.875% senior unsecured bond of 2030, SVB Financial Group 4.0% perpetual preferred bonds, SVB Financial Group 4.25% perpetual preferred bonds and Signature Bank New York 4.0% subordinated bonds of 2030. The Fund's allocation decisions contributed ~27 basis points to performance, while its short duration position detracted ~24 basis points of relative performance as rates declined across the curve and the Fund's duration was shorter than the benchmark. The Fund ended the quarter with an overall duration of ~5.37 years. Although reduced from the end of the previous quarter, the Fund holds 51% in corporate debt, 24% in government debt, and 24% in securitized credit.
We would like to address an exceptional situation concerning two investments that weighed on performance this quarter: Silicon Valley Bank (SVB Financial Group) and Signature Bank bonds. Although we typically do not discuss specific bonds at length, we believe it is necessary to make an exception in this case, as we take permanent impairment to our investments seriously. These two investment losses cost the Fund 1.7% in the quarter and were the primary drivers of the Fund falling short of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index's 2.96% return. As a team, we value transparency and believe that our investors deserve a clear explanation of the losses. It is worth emphasizing that the Fund was designed to offer investors performance derived from individual security selection, like every Oakmark fund in our family of products. This approach has yielded the Oakmark Bond Fund top-decile results in the Morningstar Intermediate Core-Plus Bond Category24 since our inception in June of 2020 (and maintaining a 10% percentile performance rank and a top 15th percentile Sharpe Ratio after this quarter), but it also means that incorrect bets, just like our best outcomes, will have a measurable impact on performance.
Despite our comprehensive underwriting process for both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, we failed to identify critical risks associated with these banks. We focused too much on the quality of the balance sheet assets, while ignoring embedded risks related to the average life of those assets. We also overestimated management's ability to manage deposit flight; what appeared to be a fragmented deposit base ultimately proved to be indirectly controlled by a handful of influential venture capital entities. Moreover, we underestimated the risks associated with the banks' real and perceived exposure to the volatile crypto market and the potential compounding of those risks after the FTX and Silvergate collapses. The swift spread of negative sentiment via social media further heightened Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank's vulnerability. Investing in bank bonds in this new paradigm, where bank runs can be catalyzed with almost zero friction and the structure of the yield curve incentivizes deposit flight, it is essential to thoroughly examine both the quality and the average life of securities held on banks' balance sheets. We must also consider how the rapid spread of sentiment through social media and other digital channels might affect the risk of future bank runs and ensure appropriate compensation for elevated tail risks in this new reality. Lastly, we will remain vigilant and adaptable in our risk management strategies to respond to these changing market conditions. We regret the impact these events had on the Fund's performance and are committed to learning from them. Our aim is to provide a well-diversified and resilient bond portfolio capable of delivering positive results across various economic conditions. As mentioned earlier, we have built this Fund to focus on deriving performance from our individual credit selection, and we expect to continue providing consistent results in line with what we have produced since inception. We appreciate your trust in the Oakmark Bond Fund management team and invite you to reach out with any additional questions.
Positioning
In line with our analysis of the current financial landscape, we have made several strategic adjustments to our portfolio during the quarter. As credit spreads tightened significantly in January and early February, we reduced corporate exposure, specifically to lower rated high-yield securities and loans, while we increased our holdings in high-quality, agency-backed securitized debt. Consistent with our expectations from last quarter, we remain active in our preferred BBB securities, including cyclicals and both the preferred and straight bonds of regional banks. We continue to trim specific high-yield leveraged loans and bonds, particularly in the richer BB quality basket, that have met our fair-value targets. Our curve positioning strategies include: 1) extension swaps out the curve in specific corporates to capture current yield and total return opportunities on our

favorite names; 2) steeper trades in U.S. Treasurys by moving out of our longest dated U.S. Treasurys into shorter dated securities in anticipation of continued curve steepening; and 3) U.S. Treasury swaps into securitized AAA paper to reduce direct U.S. Treasury exposure on certain parts of the curve and capitalize on historically widespread relationships. As volatility persists, we will continue to explore relative value swaps within capital structures, peer groups and industries. Given our expectation that a deep recession can be avoided, we are focused on economically sensitive high-yield segments to identify opportunities for high coupon carry and all-in total returns for the Fund in case of further spread widening. We will deploy capital cautiously and patiently. With regards to duration positioning, the Fund increased duration by approximately half a year during the quarter as rates rose before volatility ensued. We believe the end of the Fed's rate hike cycle is near; however, if inflation proves more persistent than anticipated, the Fed's pause may last longer than the market currently predicts. In our view, this could cause the curve to continue steepening, with the long end particularly vulnerable in the absence of a significant economic downturn.

1. 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. 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.
Each Fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Class Shares, Advisor Class Shares, Institutional Class Shares and R6 Class Shares. Shares of each Class 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"). Investor Class Shares are also offered to certain retirement plans, such as 401(k) and profit sharing plans. Investor Class Shares of a Fund pay a service fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Investor Shares. This service fee is paid to third-party intermediaries who provide services for and/or maintain shareholder accounts.
Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses of the Funds not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are allocated to each class pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees, service fees, other shareholder servicing fees, and reports to shareholders expenses are specific to each class.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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, Juneteenth, 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 you 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.
78 OAKMARK FUNDS
Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
All other debt instruments are valued at the latest bid 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 Flexible Exchange ("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 the Funds' valuation procedures approved by the Board. In December 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act, including related oversight and reporting requirements. Effective as of September 8, 2022, the Board approved changes to the Funds' valuation procedures to comply with Rule 2a-5 and designated the Adviser as the Funds' valuation designee (as defined in the rule). The valuation designee is responsible for determining fair value in good faith for any and all Fund investments, subject to oversight 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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, none of the Funds held open forward foreign currency contracts.
At March 31, 2023, 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 2 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 March 31, 2023, none of the Funds engaged in forward foreign currency contracts.
Security transactions and investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discount is accreted on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-maturity method. Premium is amortized on long-term fixed income securities using the yield-to-earliest call method. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the specific identification method.
Short Sales
Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. At March 31, 2023, 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. At March 31, 2023, each Fund qualifies as a limited derivatives user under Rule 18f-4 of the 1940 Act and has adopted policies and procedures to manage its derivatives risk. 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

Oakmark Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. At March 31, 2023, none of the Funds held when-issued securities.
Accounting for options
When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from option transactions. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Fund. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, a Fund foregoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current fair value. Options written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparties, to perform.
When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option purchased. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risks associated with purchasing put and call options are potential loss of the premium paid and, in the instances of OTC derivatives, the failure of the counterparty to honor its obligation under the contract.
Oakmark and Select used purchased options for tax management and as an investment strategy in an effort to increase the Funds' returns during the period ended March 31, 2023. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on purchased equity options for the period, if any, are included in each Fund's Statement of Operations. There were no purchased options outstanding at March 31, 2023.
Oakmark and Select used options written for tax management and as an investment strategy in an effort to increase the Funds' returns during the period ended March 31, 2023. Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written equity options for the period, if any, are included in each Fund's Statement of Operations. Written options outstanding, if any, are listed on each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
For the period ended March 31, 2023, 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 | |

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 1.35% above the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Overnight Bank Fund Rate, as defined in the credit agreement. To maintain the Facility, an annualized commitment fee of 0.20% on the unused committed portion is charged to the Trust. Fees and interest expense, if any, related to the Facility are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. There were no borrowings under the Facility during the period ended March 31, 2023.
Expense offset arrangement
State Street serves as custodian of the Funds. State Street's fee may be reduced by credits that are an earnings allowance calculated on the average daily cash balances each Fund maintains with State Street. Credit balances used to reduce the Funds' custodian fees, if any, are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2023, none of the Funds received an expense offset credit.
Repurchase agreements
Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments whereby the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future date at a specified price.
The Funds' custodian receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The Adviser is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. At March 31, 2023, all of the Funds held repurchase agreements.

Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash, cash equivalents, or U.S. Treasury or agency securities maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned by a Fund. The Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and would also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the earnings on the collateral. The Fund has the right to call the loan and attempt to obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. There could also be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the fair value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period. A Fund may not exercise proxy voting rights for a security that is on loan if it is unable to recall the security prior to the record date. The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an agreement with State Street to serve as its agent for the purpose of lending securities and maintaining the collateral account. Security lending income, if any, net of any fees retained by the securities lending agent, is included in the Statement of Operations.
At March 31, 2023, none of the Funds had securities on loan.
Interfund lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility that allows the Funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other for temporary purposes (an "Interfund Loan"). All Interfund Loans are subject to conditions pursuant to the SEC exemptive order designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of participating Funds. Any Interfund Loan would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending Fund otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments. There were no interfund loans during the period ended March 31, 2023.

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's 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 March 31, 2023, the following amounts are subject to recoupment (in thousands).

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 the majority 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 one or more approved funds 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 any trustee who is not an "interested person" of the Trust, and any other Trustee that has been approved by the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust to receive compensation from the Trust for his or her service as a Trustee of the Trust, 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 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.

4. 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 March 31, 2023, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Oakmark Funds Disclosure Regarding the Board of Trustees' Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements as Approved October 26, 2022
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of Harris Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser") (including its affiliates), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), considers whether to continue the investment advisory agreements with the Adviser (each, an "Agreement," and collectively, the "Agreements") with respect to each series of the Trust (each, a "Fund"). At a meeting held on October 26, 2022, 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, 2023.
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board's Committee on Contracts (the "Committee"), together with the other Independent Trustees, requested, received, reviewed and considered extensive 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 (i) legal advice furnished to them by their legal counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent from the Adviser ("Independent Counsel"); (ii) their own business judgment; and (iii) developments in the industry, the markets, and mutual fund regulation and litigation. The Committee leads the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements. The Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees, and more than 75% of the Board is comprised of Independent Trustees. 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, and inclusive of funds that the Adviser identified as comparable peer funds. Additionally, the Board considered the impact of significant market volatility that occurred during and after the period for which information was requested in conducting its evaluation of the Adviser. 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 and liquidity management 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 Independent 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 the Adviser's investment approach; the qualifications, experience and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the Adviser's investment personnel 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 also considered the Adviser's policies and practices regarding brokerage, commissions, trade execution, transaction and other trading costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions. The Board noted
96 OAKMARK FUNDS
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 changes and considering proposed regulation resulting from 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, cybersecurity, 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 identifying, 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 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 the Adviser in administering the Funds' 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 largely seamless implementation of its business continuity plan in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and its success in continuously providing services to the Funds notwithstanding the disruptions caused by the 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 related to the efforts to stem the spread of Covid-19 and considered the overall performance of the Adviser in this context.
Fund Performance
The Board considered each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term investment performance, as applicable, 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. 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, 2022. Performance information for Institutional Class was provided for the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods, as applicable, and information for Investor Class was provided for the 10-year period, as applicable.
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 return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-year period ending April 30, 2022, and outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Select Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2022, and outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 3-year period ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark Global Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods and was the same as the median annual return of its respective Performance Universe during the 10-year period ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark Global Select Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Global Select Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods ending April 30, 2022, and was the same as the median annual return of its respective Performance Universe during the 10-year period ending April 30, 2022.
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 and outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the10-year period ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark International Small Cap Fund underperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2022, and outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 3-year period ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe during the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending April 30, 2022.
Oakmark Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Bond Fund outperformed the median annualized return of its respective Performance Universe for the 1-year period ending April 30, 2022. The Fund was launched in June 2020 and, therefore, does not have 3-, 5-, or 10-year performance as of April 30, 2022.
The Board also considered the quintile ranking of each Fund against its Performance Universe for the 1-year period ended April 30, 2022. 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 relative to its Morningstar rating, and separate comparative data provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered updated performance information at its October meeting at which the Agreements were approved. In the case of underperformance for a Fund for any of the periods reported, the Board considered the
Oakmark.com 97
magnitude and duration of that underperformance relative to the Performance Universe and/or the Fund's benchmark. For each Fund that the Board identified as having underperformed its Performance Universe and/or benchmark index to an extent, or over a period of time, that the Board felt warranted additional inquiry, the Board discussed with the Adviser the Fund's performance, 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. In addition, 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. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board further acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance.
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 (excluding any 12b-1/non-12b-1 service fees), and those of its Expense Group. The Board received and reviewed information for each Fund's Institutional Class for this purpose.
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, 2021, 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 lower 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 was higher than the median of its respective Expense Group and that the Fund's total expense ratio was lower than the 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 medians 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 and the Fund's total expense ratio were both lower than the corresponding medians 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.
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 lower than the corresponding medians of its respective Expense Group.
Oakmark Bond Fund. The Board considered that the Oakmark Bond Fund's management fee was lower than the corresponding median of its respective Expense Group and the Fund's total expense ratio was higher than the corresponding median 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, cybersecurity, 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 Adviser's agreement to continue the expense limitation agreement for each Fund. In addition, the Board took into account that effective October 1, 2022, the contractual management fee for each Fund, except Oakmark Bond Fund, was permanently reduced by two basis points and the Adviser's corresponding contractual management fee waiver by that amount of such Funds' fee rate was terminated.
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 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
98 OAKMARK FUNDS
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 breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as Fund assets increase for each Fund except Oakmark Bond Fund. Since the Oakmark Bond Fund Agreement does not include breakpoints, the Board considered the Adviser's representations that the Fund's fee rate was set competitively and priced to scale before it has actually experienced an increase in assets which is another way of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. In addition, the Board considered each Fund's expense limitation agreement 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 prompted 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.
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 management of the Fund; that the management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided; that each Fund's management fees 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.

The discussion of the Funds' investments and investment strategy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers' research and investment process, and portfolio characteristics) represents the Funds' investments and the views of the portfolio managers and Harris Associates L.P., the Funds' investment adviser, at the time of this report, and are subject to change without notice.
All Oakmark Funds: Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and under-perform growth stocks during given periods.
Oakmark, Oakmark Equity and Income, Oakmark Global, Oakmark International, Oakmark International Small Cap, and Oakmark Bond Funds: The Funds' portfolios tend to be invested in a relatively small number of investments. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the Funds' net asset value than it would if the Funds invest in a larger number of securities. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the Funds' volatility.
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 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.
Oakmark Global, Oakmark Global Select, Oakmark International, Oakmark International Small Cap and Oakmark Bond Funds: Investing in foreign securities presents risks which in some ways may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.
The percentages of hedge exposure for each foreign currency are calculated by dividing the market value of all same-currency forward contracts by the market value of the underlying equity exposure to that currency.
Oakmark Equity and Income and Oakmark Bond Funds invest in medium- and lower quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
Oakmark International Small Cap Fund: The stocks of smaller companies often involve more risk than the stocks of larger companies. Stocks of small companies tend to be more volatile and have a smaller public market than stocks of larger companies.
Small companies may have a shorter history of operations than larger companies, may not have as great an ability to raise additional capital and may have a less diversified product line, making them more susceptible to market pressure.
Oakmark Equity and Income and Oakmark Bond Funds: The Funds may be subject to prepayment and extension risk, which may shorten or lengthen the duration of the Funds' investments. The Funds may also be subject to credit risk, which is the risk the issuer or guarantor of a debt security will be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal or to otherwise honor its obligations. The Funds' yield and share price will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates and there is a risk of loss due to changes in interest rates. Investing in when-issued or forward-settling transactions may be less favorable than the price or yield available in the market when the transaction takes place. The Funds' exposure to loan interests may be subject to restrictions on transfer, illiquid and difficult to value.
