The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund invests in medium- and lower-quality debt securities that
have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than
higher-quality securities. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
An economic downturn could severely disrupt the market in medium or lower grade
debt securities and adversely affect the value of outstanding bonds and the
ability of the issuers to repay principal and interest.
Investing in foreign securities presents risks that in some way 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.
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' return's more volatile than a more diversified 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.
Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
Before investing in any Oakmark Fund, you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, management fees and other expenses. This and other important information is contained in a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.
