1​ Investor Class Shares of the Fund pay a service fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Investor Class Shares. This service fee is paid to third-party intermediaries who provide services for and/or maintain shareholder accounts.
Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses were those reflected in the table, inclusive of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
Although your actual returns and expenses may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 63% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund generally invests in the securities of larger companies. The Fund uses a value investment philosophy in selecting equity securities. This value investment philosophy is based upon the belief that, over time, a company's stock price converges with the Adviser's estimate of the company's intrinsic value. By "intrinsic value," the Adviser means its estimate of the price a knowledgeable buyer would pay to acquire the entire business. The Adviser believes that investing in securities priced significantly below what it believes is a company's intrinsic value presents the best opportunity to achieve the Fund's investment objective. A company trading below its estimated intrinsic value is sometimes referred to as trading at a discount.
The Adviser uses this value investment philosophy to identify companies that have discounted stock prices compared to what the Adviser believes are the companies' intrinsic values. In assessing such companies, the Adviser looks for a number of attractive attributes which could include: (1) free cash flows;
Advised by Harris Associates L.P.
(2) earnings that are growing and are reasonably predictable; and (3) high level of company management alignment with shareholders.
Key Tenets of the Oakmark Value Investment Philosophy:
1. Buy businesses that are trading at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimate of the company's intrinsic value. At the time the Adviser buys a company, the Adviser wants the company's stock to be inexpensive relative to what it believes the entire business is worth.
2. Invest with companies expected to grow shareholder value over time. Value investors can sometimes fall into the trap of buying a stock that is inexpensive for a reason-because the company just does not grow. The Adviser looks for businesses that are expected to achieve a combination of dividend yield and per-share growth in business value that is above-average.
3. Invest with management teams that think and act as owners. The Adviser seeks out companies with management teams that understand the dynamics of per share value growth and are focused on achieving such growth. Stock ownership and incentives that align managements' interests with those of shareholders are key components of this analysis.
In making its investment decisions, the Adviser uses a "bottom-up" approach focused on individual companies, rather than focusing on specific economic factors or specific industries. To facilitate its selection of investments that meet the criteria described above, the Adviser uses independent, in-house research to analyze each company. As part of this selection process, the Adviser's analysts typically visit companies and conduct other research on the companies and their industries.
Once the Adviser identifies a stock that it believes is selling at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimated intrinsic value and that the company possesses the other key tenets of the investment philosophy, the Adviser may consider buying that stock for the Fund. The Adviser usually sells a stock when the price approaches its estimated intrinsic value. This means the Adviser sets specific "buy" and "sell" targets for each stock the Fund holds. The Adviser monitors each portfolio holding and adjusts these price targets as warranted to reflect changes in a company's fundamentals.
The Fund may also use options, including, but not limited to, buying and selling (writing) put and call options on individual stocks and indexes, when such use is desirable because of tax or other considerations. Use of options may assist the Fund in managing distributions.
The Adviser believes that holding a relatively small number of stocks allows its "best ideas" to have a meaningful impact on the Fund's performance. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio typically holds thirty to sixty stocks rather than hundreds, and as a result, a higher percentage of the Fund's total assets may at times be invested in a particular sector or industry.
Principal investment risks
As an investor in the Fund, you should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially wide fluctuations in the value of your Fund shares. Your investment in the Fund is subject to risks, including the possibility that the value of the Fund's portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the companies in which the Fund invests, as well as economic, political or social events in the U.S. or abroad and the
Adviser's evaluation of those events, and the success of the Adviser in implementing the Fund's investment strategy. As a result, when you redeem your Fund shares, they may be worth more or less than you paid for them.
Although the Fund makes every effort to achieve its investment objective, it cannot guarantee it will attain that investment objective. The following principal investment risks can significantly affect the Fund's performance:
Market Risk. The Fund is subject to market risk-the risk that securities markets and individual securities will increase or decrease in value. Market risk applies to every market and every security. Security prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to adverse issuer, political, geopolitical (including wars or acts of terrorism), regulatory, market, economic, sanctions, tariffs, global health crises or pandemics, environmental, or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, stability, and public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment. In addition, securities markets tend to move in cycles. If there is a general decline in the securities markets, it is possible your investment may lose value regardless of the individual results of the companies in which the Fund invests. The magnitude of up and down price or market fluctuations over time is sometimes referred to as "volatility," which, at times, can be significant. In addition, different asset classes and geographic markets may experience periods of significant correlation with each other. As a result of this correlation, the securities and markets in which the Fund invests may experience volatility due to market, economic, political or social events, such as global health crises or pandemics, and conditions that may not readily appear to directly relate to such securities, the securities' issuer or the markets in which they trade. In addition, some companies may have substantial foreign operations or holdings and may involve additional risks relating to those markets, including but not limited to political, economic, regulatory, or other conditions in foreign countries, as well as currency exchange rates.
Focused Portfolio Risk. The Fund's portfolio tends to be invested in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one issuer held by the Fund will have a greater impact on the Fund's net asset value than it would if the Fund invested in a larger number of issuers. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the Fund's volatility and may lead to greater losses.
Common Stock Risk. Common stocks are generally subject to greater fluctuations in market value than other asset classes as a result of such factors as a company's business performance, investor perceptions, stock market trends and general economic conditions. The rights of common stockholders are subordinate to all other claims on a company's assets including, debt holders and preferred stockholders; therefore, the Fund could lose money if a company in which it invests becomes financially distressed.
Sector or Industry Risk. If the Fund has invested a higher percentage of its total assets in a particular sector or industry, changes affecting that sector or industry, or the perception of that sector or industry, may have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund's overall portfolio. Individual sectors or industries may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market.
Large Capitalization Risk. Investing primarily in issuers in one market capitalization category (large) carries the risk that due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or opportunities or attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.
2 | Summary Prospectus: Oakmark Fund
Value Style Risk. Investing in "value" stocks presents the risk that the stocks may never reach what the Adviser believes are their full market values, either because the market fails to recognize what the Adviser considers to be the companies' intrinsic values or because the Adviser misjudged those values. In addition, value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other investments during given periods.
Options Risk. The use of options involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If a strategy is applied at an inappropriate time or market conditions or trends are judged incorrectly, the use of options may lower the Fund's return. There can be no guarantee that the use of options will increase the Fund's return or income. In addition, there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for various options.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time.

* Advisor Class shares commenced operations on 11/30/2016. The performance attributed to the Advisor Class shares prior to that date is that of the Investor Class shares from 08/05/1991-11/30/2016. Performance prior to 11/30/2016 has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of Advisor Class shares. During this period, Advisor Class shares would have had returns similar to, but potentially higher than, Investor Class shares due to the fact that Advisor Class shares represent interests in the same portfolio as Investor Class shares but are subject to lower expenses.
** Institutional Class shares commenced operations on 11/30/2016. The performance attributed to the Institutional Class shares prior to that date is that of the Investor Class shares from 08/05/1991-11/30/2016. Performance prior to 11/30/2016 has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of Institutional Class shares. During this period, Institutional Class shares would have had returns similar to, but potentially higher than, Investor Class shares due to the fact that Institutional Class shares represent interests in the same portfolio as Investor Class shares but are subject to lower expenses.
*** R6 Class shares commenced operations on 12/15/2020. The performance attributed to the R6 Class shares prior to that date is that of the Investor Class shares from 08/05/1991-11/30/2016, the performance of the Institutional Class shares from 11/30/2016-12/15/2020, and then the performance of the R6 Class shares from 12/15/2020 onwards. Performance prior to 12/15/2020 has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses of R6 Class shares. During this period, R6 Class shares would have had returns similar to, but potentially higher than, Institutional and Investor Class shares due to the fact that R6 Class shares represent interests in the same portfolio as Institutional and Investor Class shares but are subject to lower expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, qualified plans, education savings accounts or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, the after-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are shown only for Investor Class Shares. After-tax returns for Advisor Class Shares, Institutional Class Shares, and R6 Class Shares will vary from returns shown for Investor Class Shares.
