Each Oakmark fund applies the same value investment philosophy and process to different market segments, sectors, size companies, and geographic regions to achieve specified goals.
The Oakmark Global Select Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in approximately 20 large companies from around the world. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual securities than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund.
