                                    THE FUNDS

      Oakmark Fund, Select Fund, Small Cap Fund, Global Fund, International Fund
and International Small Cap Fund seek long-term capital appreciation.

      Equity and Income Fund seeks high current income and preservation and
growth of capital.

      The Funds are series of the Trust, an open-end management investment
company, and each Fund other than Select Fund is diversified. The Trust is a
Massachusetts business trust organized under an Agreement and Declaration of
Trust dated February 1, 1991.

      Each Fund's shares are divided into two share classes: Class I Shares
and Class II Shares. Class I Shares of each Fund are offered to members of
the general public. As described more fully in the prospectus, Class II
Shares of each Fund are offered to certain retirement and profit sharing
plans. Class II Shares of a Fund pay a service fee at the annual rate of .25%
of the average net assets of Class II Shares of the Fund. This service fee is
paid to an administrator for performing the services associated with the
administration of such retirement plans. The shares of each class of a Fund
represent an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. All
shares of a Fund have equal voting rights (except as to matters affecting the
interests of only one class).

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

      In pursuing their respective investment objectives no Fund will:

      1.     [THIS RESTRICTION DOES NOT APPLY TO SELECT FUND] In regard to 75%
of its assets, invest more than 5% of its assets (valued at the time of
investment) in securities of any one issuer, except in U.S. government
obligations;

      2.     Acquire securities of any one issuer which at the time of
investment (a) represent more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer or
(b) have a value greater than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities of
the issuer;

      3.     Invest more than 25% of its assets (valued at the time of
investment) in securities of companies in any one industry, except that this
restriction does not apply to investments in U.S. government obligations;

      4.     Borrow money except from banks for temporary or emergency purposes
in amounts not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's assets at the time of
borrowing [the Fund will not purchase additional securities when its borrowings,
less receivables from portfolio securities sold, exceed 5% of the value of the
Fund's total assets];

      5.    Issue any senior security except in connection with permitted
borrowings;

      6.    Underwrite the distribution of securities of other issuers;
however the Fund may acquire "restricted" securities which, in the event of a
resale, might be required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on
the ground that the Fund could be regarded as an underwriter as defined by that
act with respect to such resale;

      7.    Make loans, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from
(a) investing in debt obligations, (b) investing in repurchase agreements,(1) or
(c) [FUNDS OTHER THAN OAKMARK


----------------------------
(1)   A repurchase agreement involves a sale of securities to a Fund with the
      concurrent agreement of the seller (bank or securities dealer) to
      repurchase the securities at the same

                                       2
<PAGE>

FUND] lending its portfolio securities [the Fund will not lend securities having
a value in excess of 33% of its assets, including collateral received for loaned
securities (valued at the time of any loan)];

      8.    Purchase and sell real estate or interests in real estate,
although it may invest in marketable securities of enterprises which invest in
real estate or interests in real estate;

      9.    Purchase and sell commodities or commodity contracts, except that
it may enter into forward foreign currency contracts;

      10.   Acquire securities of other investment companies except (a) by
purchase in the open market, where no commission or profit to a sponsor or
dealer results from such purchase other than the customary broker's commission
or (b) where the acquisition results from a dividend or a merger, consolidation
or other reorganization;(2)

      11.   Make margin purchases or participate in a joint or on a joint or
several basis in any trading account in securities;

      12.   Invest in companies for the purpose of management or the exercise
of control;

      13.   Invest more than 15% of its net assets (valued at the time of
investment) in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days;

      14.   [OAKMARK FUND, SELECT FUND, SMALL CAP FUND AND EQUITY AND INCOME
FUND ONLY] Invest more than 2% of its net assets (valued at the time of
investment) in warrants not listed on the New York or American stock exchanges,
valued at cost, nor more than 5% of its net assets in all warrants, provided
that warrants acquired in units or attached to other securities shall be deemed
to be without value for purposes of this restriction; [INTERNATIONAL FUND AND
INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND ONLY] Invest more than 10% of its net assets
(valued at the time of investment) in warrants valued at the lower of cost or
market, provided that warrants acquired in units or attached to securities shall
be deemed to be without value for purposes of this restriction;

      15.   [OAKMARK FUND, SELECT FUND AND SMALL CAP FUND ONLY] Invest more
than 25% of its total assets (valued at the time of investment) in securities of
non-U.S. issuers (other than securities represented by American Depositary
Receipts) [EQUITY AND INCOME FUND ONLY] Invest more than 10% of its total assets
(valued at the time of investment) in securities of non-U.S. issuers (other than
securities represented by American Depositary Receipts);(3)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      price plus an amount equal to an agreed-upon interest rate within a
      specified time. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a seller
      of a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience both delays in
      liquidating the underlying securities and losses. No Fund may invest more
      than 15% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than
      seven days and other illiquid securities.

(2)   In addition to this investment restriction, the Investment Company Act of
      1940 provides that a Fund may neither purchase more than 3% of the voting
      securities of any one investment company nor invest more than 10% of the
      Fund's assets (valued at the time of investment) in all investment company
      securities purchased by the Fund. Investment in the shares of another
      investment company would require the Fund to bear a portion of the
      management and advisory fees paid by that investment company, which might
      duplicate the fees paid by the Fund.

(3)   Although securities represented by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs")
      are not subject to restriction 15, none of these Funds has any present
      intention to invest more than the indicated percentage of its total assets
      in ADRs and securities of foreign issuers.

                                       3
<PAGE>

      16.   Make short sales of securities unless (i) the Fund owns at least an
equal amount of such securities, or of securities that are convertible or
exchangeable, or anticipated to be convertible or exchangeable, into at least an
equal amount of such securities with no restriction other than the payment of
additional consideration; or (ii) immediately after such a short sale, the
aggregate value of all securities that the Fund is short (excluding short
sales against-the-box) does not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's net
assets, and the Fund covers such short sales as required by the current rules
and positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission or it staff;

      17.   Purchase or write a call option or a put option if the aggregate
premium paid for all call and put options then held exceed 20% of its net assets
(less the amount by which any such positions are in-the-money);

      18.   Invest in futures or options on futures, except that it may invest
in forward foreign currency contracts.

      The first 10 restrictions listed above, except the bracketed portions, are
fundamental policies and may be changed only with the approval of the holders of
a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the respective Fund, which
is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as the lesser
of (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund present at a meeting if more than 50% of
the outstanding shares of the Fund are present in person or represented by proxy
or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Those restrictions
not designated as "fundamental," and a Fund's investment objective, may be
changed by the board of trustees without shareholder approval. A Fund's
investment objective will not be changed without at least 30 days' notice to
shareholders.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing investment restrictions, a Fund may purchase
securities pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights, provided, in the
case of each Fund other than Select Fund, that such purchase will not result in
the Fund's ceasing to be a diversified investment company. Japanese and European
corporations frequently issue additional capital stock by means of subscription
rights offerings to existing shareholders at a price substantially below the
market price of the shares. The failure to exercise such rights would result in
a Fund's interest in the issuing company being diluted. The market for such
rights is not well developed in all cases and, accordingly, a Fund may not
always realize full value on the sale of rights. The exception applies in cases
where the limits set forth in the investment restrictions would otherwise be
exceeded by exercising rights or would have already been exceeded as a result of
fluctuations in the market value of a Fund's portfolio securities with the
result that the Fund would be forced either to sell securities at a time when it
might not otherwise have done so, or to forego exercising the rights.


                              HOW THE FUNDS INVEST

SECURITIES OF NON-U.S. ISSUERS

      International Fund and International Small Cap Fund invest primarily in
securities of non-U.S. issuers, Global Fund typically invests between 40-80% of
its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers and the other Funds each may
invest a minor portion of their assets (up to 25% for Oakmark Fund, Select Fund
and Small Cap Fund and up to 10% for Equity and Income Fund) in securities of
non-U.S. issuers.

      International investing permits an investor to take advantage of the
growth in markets outside the United States. Investing in securities of non-U.S.
issuers may entail a greater degree of risk (including risks relating to
exchange rate fluctuations, tax provisions, or expropriation of assets) than
does investment in securities of domestic issuers. The Funds may invest in
securities of non-U.S. issuers directly or in the form of American Depositary
Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts
(GDRs), or other securities representing underlying shares of foreign issuers.
Positions in these securities are not necessarily denominated in the same
currency as the common stocks into which they may be converted. ADRs are
receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company and trading

                                       4
<PAGE>

in U.S. markets evidencing ownership of the underlying securities. EDRs are
European receipts evidencing a similar arrangement. Generally ADRs, in
registered form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets and EDRs,
in bearer form, are designed for use in European securities markets. GDRs are
receipts that may trade in U.S. or non-U.S. markets. The Funds may invest in
both "sponsored" and "unsponsored" ADRs, EDRs or GDRs. In a sponsored depositary
receipt, the issuer typically pays some or all of the expenses of the depository
and agrees to provide its regular shareholder communications to depositary
receipt holders. An unsponsored depositary receipt is created independently of
the issuer of the underlying security. The depositary receipt holders generally
pay the expenses of the depository and do not have an undertaking from the
issuer of the underlying security to furnish shareholder communications.

      With respect to portfolio securities of non-U.S. issuers or denominated in
foreign currencies, a Fund's investment performance is affected by the strength
or weakness of the U.S. dollar against these currencies. For example, if the
dollar falls in value relative to the Japanese yen, the dollar value of a
yen-denominated stock held in the portfolio will rise even though the price of
the stock remains unchanged. Conversely, if the dollar rises in value relative
to the yen, the dollar value of the yen-denominated stock will fall. See
discussion of transaction hedging and portfolio hedging under "Currency Exchange
Transactions."

      You should understand and consider carefully the risks involved in
international investing. Investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers, which are
generally denominated in foreign currencies, and utilization of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts involve certain considerations comprising both risks
and opportunities not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities.
These considerations include: fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign
currencies; possible imposition of exchange control regulation or currency
restrictions that would prevent cash from being brought back to the United
States; less public information with respect to issuers of securities; less
governmental supervision of stock exchanges, securities brokers, and issuers of
securities; different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards;
different settlement periods and trading practices; less liquidity and
frequently greater price volatility; imposition of foreign taxes; and sometimes
less advantageous legal, operational and financial protections applicable to
foreign subcustodial arrangements.

      Although the Funds try to invest in companies and governments of countries
having stable political environments, there is the possibility of expropriation
of assets, confiscatory taxation, seizure or nationalization of foreign bank
deposits or other assets, establishment of exchange controls, the adoption of
foreign government restrictions, or other political, social or diplomatic
developments that could adversely affect investment in these countries.

      PRIVATIZATIONS. Some governments have been engaged in programs of selling
part or all of their stakes in government owned or controlled enterprises
("privatizations"). The Adviser believes that privatizations may offer
opportunities for significant capital appreciation, and intends to invest assets
of International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and Global Fund in
privatizations in appropriate circumstances. In certain of those markets, the
ability of foreign entities such as International Fund, International Small Cap
Fund and Global Fund to participate in privatizations may be limited by local
law, and/or the terms on which such Funds may be permitted to participate may be
less advantageous than those afforded local investors. There can be no assurance
that governments will continue to sell companies currently owned or controlled
by them or that privatization programs will be successful.

      EMERGING MARKETS. Investments in emerging markets securities include
special risks in addition to those generally associated with foreign investing.
Many investments in emerging markets can be considered speculative, and the
value of those investments can be more volatile than in more developed foreign
markets. This difference reflects the greater uncertainties of investing in less
established markets and economies. Emerging markets also have different
clearance and settlement procedures, and in certain markets there have been
times when settlements have not kept pace with the volume of securities
transactions, making it difficult to

                                       5
<PAGE>

conduct such transactions. Delays in settlement could result in temporary
periods when a portion of the assets is uninvested and no return is earned
thereon. The inability to make intended security purchases due to settlement
problems could cause a Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Inability to dispose of portfolio securities due to settlement problems could
result either in losses to a Fund due to subsequent declines in the value of
those securities or, if a Fund has entered into a contract to sell a security,
in possible liability to the purchaser. Costs associated with transactions in
emerging markets securities are typically higher than costs associated with
transactions in U.S. securities. Such transactions also involve additional
costs for the purchase or sale of foreign currency.

      Certain foreign markets (including emerging markets) may require
governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the
proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if a
deterioration occurs in an emerging market's balance of payments or for other
reasons, a country could impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital
remittances. A Fund could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to
grant, required governmental approval for repatriation of capital, as well as by
the application to the Fund of any restrictions on investments.

      The risk also exists that an emergency situation may arise in one or more
emerging markets. As a result, trading of securities may cease or may be
substantially curtailed and prices for a Fund's securities in such markets may
not be readily available. A Fund may suspend redemption of its shares for any
period during which an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, if a Fund believes that
appropriate circumstances exist, it will promptly apply to the SEC for a
determination that such an emergency is present. During the period commencing
from a Fund's identification of such condition until the date of the SEC action,
that Fund's securities in the affected markets will be valued at fair value
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's board of
trustees.

      Income from securities held by a Fund could be reduced by taxes withheld
from that income, or other taxes that may be imposed by the emerging market
countries in which the Fund invests. Net asset value of a Fund may also be
affected by changes in the rates or methods of taxation applicable to the Fund
or to entities in which the Fund has invested. Many emerging markets have
experienced substantial rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have adverse
effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market
countries. In an attempt to control inflation, certain emerging market countries
have imposed wage and price controls. Of these countries, some, in recent years,
have begun to control inflation through prudent economic policies.

      Emerging market governmental issuers are among the largest debtors to
commercial banks, foreign governments, international financial organizations and
other financial institutions. Certain emerging market governmental issuers have
not been able to make payments of interest or principal on debt obligations as
those payments have come due. Obligations arising from past restructuring
agreements may affect the economic performance and political and social
stability of those issuers.

      Governments of many emerging market countries have exercised and continue
to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector
through ownership or control of many companies. The future actions of those
governments could have a significant effect on economic conditions in emerging
markets, which in turn, may adversely affect companies in the private sector,
general market conditions and prices and yields of certain of the securities in
a Fund's portfolio. Expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization,
political, economic and social instability have occurred throughout the history
of certain emerging market countries and could adversely affect Fund assets
should any of those conditions recur.

                                       6

      CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS. Each Fund may enter into currency exchange
transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate for purchasing
or selling currency prevailing in the foreign exchange market or through a
forward currency exchange contract ("forward contract"). A forward contract is
an agreement to purchase or sell a specified currency at a specified future date
(or within a specified time period) and price set at the time of the contract.
Forward contracts are usually entered into with banks, foreign exchange dealers
or broker-dealers, are not exchange-traded and are usually for less than one
year, but may be renewed.

      Forward currency transactions may involve currencies of the different
countries in which a Fund may invest, and serve as hedges against possible
variations in the exchange rate between these currencies. A Fund's currency
transactions are limited to transaction hedging and portfolio hedging involving
either specific transactions or actual or anticipated portfolio positions.
Transaction hedging is the purchase or sale of a forward contract with respect
to specific receivables or payables of a Fund accruing in connection with the
purchase or sale of portfolio securities. Portfolio hedging is the use of a
forward contract with respect to an actual or anticipated portfolio security
position denominated or quoted in a particular currency. When a Fund owns or
anticipates owning securities in countries whose currencies are linked, the Fund
may aggregate such positions as to the currency hedged.

      If a Fund enters into a forward contract hedging an anticipated or actual
holding of portfolio securities, liquid assets of the Fund, having a value at
least as great as the amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's commitment
under the forward contract over the value of the portfolio position being
hedged, will be segregated on the books of the Fund and held by the Fund's
custodian and marked to market daily, while the contract is outstanding.

      At the maturity of a forward contract to deliver a particular currency, a
Fund may sell the portfolio security related to such contract and make delivery
of the currency received from the sale, or it may retain the security and either
purchase the currency on the spot market or terminate its contractual obligation
to deliver the currency by entering into an offsetting contract with the same
currency trader for the purchase on the same maturity date of the same amount of
the currency.

      It is impossible to forecast precisely the market value of a portfolio
security being hedged with a forward currency contract. Accordingly, at the
maturity of a contract it may be necessary for a Fund to purchase additional
currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such purchase) if the
market value of the security is less than the amount of currency the Fund is
obligated to deliver under the forward contract and if a decision is made to
sell the security and make delivery of the currency. Conversely, it may be
necessary to sell on the spot market some of the currency received upon the sale
of the portfolio security if the sale proceeds exceed the amount of currency the
Fund is obligated to deliver.

      If the Fund retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting
transaction, the Fund will incur a gain or a loss to the extent that there has
been movement in forward contract prices. If the Fund engages in an offsetting
transaction, it may subsequently enter into a new forward contract to sell the
currency. Should forward prices decline during the period between the Fund's
entering into a forward contract for the sale of a currency and the date it
enters into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the currency, the Fund
will realize a gain to the extent the price of the currency it has agreed to
sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should forward
prices increase, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the
currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency it has
agreed to sell. A default on the contract would deprive the Fund of unrealized
profits or force the Fund to cover its commitments for purchase or sale of
currency, if any, at the current market price.

      Hedging against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate
fluctuations in the prices of portfolio securities or prevent losses if the
prices of such securities decline. Such

                                       7
<PAGE>

transactions also preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the hedged
currency should rise. Moreover, it may not be possible for the Fund to hedge
against a devaluation that is so generally anticipated that the Fund is not able
to contract to sell the currency at a price above the devaluation level it
anticipates. The cost to the Fund of engaging in currency exchange transactions
varies with such factors as the currency involved, the length of the contract
period, and prevailing market conditions. Since currency exchange transactions
are usually conducted on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved.

      EUROPEAN CURRENCY UNIFICATION. Effective January 1, 1999, eleven of the
fifteen member countries of the European Union adopted a single European
currency, the euro. The countries participating in the Economic and Monetary
Union ("EMU") are Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. The four European Union
countries not currently participating in the EMU are Great Britain, Denmark,
Sweden and Greece. A new European Central Bank manages the monetary policy of
the new unified region, and the exchange rates among the EMU member countries
are permanently fixed. National currencies will continue to circulate until they
are replaced by euro coins and bank notes by the middle of 2002.

      This change is likely to impact significantly the European capital
markets in which the Funds, and in particular International Fund,
International Small Cap Fund and Global Funds may invest their assets. The
change to the new euro currency could have adverse effects on a Fund's
ability to value its portfolio holdings in foreign securities, and could
increase the costs associated with the Fund's operations. The Adviser is
working with the providers of services to the Funds in the areas of clearance
and settlement of trades in an effort to avoid any material impact on the
Funds due to the euro conversion; there can be no assurance, however, that
the steps taken by the Adviser will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact
on the Funds.

DEBT SECURITIES

      Each Fund may invest in debt securities, including lower-rated securities
(i.e., securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") or Ba or lower
by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's"), commonly called "junk bonds")
and securities that are not rated. There are no restrictions as to the ratings
of debt securities acquired by a Fund or the portion of a Fund's assets that may
be invested in debt securities in a particular ratings category, except that
International Fund and International Small Cap Fund will not invest more than
10% of their respective total assets in securities rated below investment grade,
Equity and Income Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in such
securities, and each of the other Funds will not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in such securities.

      Securities rated BBB or Baa are considered to be medium grade and to have
speculative characteristics. Lower-rated debt securities are predominantly
speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. Investment in medium- or lower-quality debt securities involves
greater investment risk, including the possibility of issuer default or
bankruptcy. An economic downturn could severely disrupt the market for such
securities and adversely affect the value of such securities. In addition,
lower-quality bonds are less sensitive to interest rate changes than
higher-quality instruments and generally are more sensitive to adverse economic
changes or individual corporate developments. During a period of adverse
economic changes, including a period of rising interest rates, issuers of such
bonds may experience difficulty in making their principal and interest payments.

      Medium- and lower-quality debt securities may be less marketable than
higher-quality debt securities because the market for them is less broad. The
market for unrated debt securities is even narrower. During periods of thin
trading in these markets, the spread between bid and asked prices is likely
to increase significantly, and a Fund may have greater difficulty selling its
portfolio securities. See "Investing with The Oakmark Family of Funds --
Share Price," The market

value of those securities and their liquidity may be affected by adverse
publicity and investor perceptions.

      A description of the characteristics of bonds in each ratings category is
included in the appendix to this statement of additional information.

WHEN-ISSUED, DELAYED-DELIVERY AND OTHER SECURITIES

      Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are
established at the time a Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be
delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their
value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of
actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before settlement
date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. A Fund may
utilize spot and forward foreign currency exchange transactions to reduce the
risk inherent in fluctuations in the exchange rate between one currency and
another when securities are purchased or sold on a when-issued or
delayed-delivered basis.

      At the time a Fund enters into a binding obligation to purchase securities
on a when-issued basis, liquid assets of the Fund having a value at least as
great as the purchase price of the securities to be purchased will be segregated
on the books of the Fund and held by the custodian throughout the period of the
obligation. The use of these investment strategies, as well as any borrowing by
a Fund, may increase net asset value fluctuation.

      A Fund may also enter into a contract with a third party that provides for
the sale of securities held by the Fund at a set price, with a contingent right
for the Fund to receive additional proceeds from the purchaser upon the
occurrence of designated future events, such as a tender offer for the
securities of the subject company by the purchaser, and satisfaction of any
applicable conditions. Under such an arrangement, the amount of contingent
proceeds that the Fund will receive from the purchaser, if any, will generally
not be determinable at the time such securities are sold. The Fund's rights
under such an arrangement will not be secured and the Fund may not receive the
contingent payment if the purchaser does not have the resources to make the
payment. The Fund's rights under such an arrangement also generally will be
illiquid and subject to the limitations on ownership of illiquid securities.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES

      No Fund may invest in illiquid securities, if as a result such securities
would comprise more than 15% of the value of the Fund's assets.

      If through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of
liquid securities, the Fund should be in a position where more than 15% of the
value of its net assets are invested in illiquid assets, including restricted
securities, the Fund will take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

      Illiquid securities may include restricted securities, which may be sold
only in privately negotiated transactions or in a public offering with respect
to which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act"). Where a Fund holds restricted securities and registration is
required, the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration
expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time of the decision
to sell and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an
effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market
conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than
prevailed when it decided to sell. Restricted securities will be priced at fair
value as determined in good faith by the board of trustees.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding the above, each Fund may purchase securities that,
although privately placed, are eligible for purchase and sale under Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act. This rule permits certain qualified institutional buyers,
such as the Funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such
securities are not registered under the 1933 Act. The Adviser, under the
supervision of the board of trustees, may consider whether securities purchased
under Rule 144A are liquid and thus not subject to the Fund's restriction of
investing no more than 15% of its assets in illiquid securities. (See
restriction 13 under "Investment Restrictions.") A determination of whether a
Rule 144A security is liquid or not is a question of fact. In making this
determination the Adviser will consider the trading markets for the specific
security taking into account the unregistered nature of a Rule 144A security. In
addition, the Adviser could consider the (1) frequency of trades and quotes, (2)
number of dealers and potential purchasers, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market, (4) and the nature of the security and of market place trades (e.g., the
time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers and the
mechanics of transfer). The liquidity of Rule 144A securities would be monitored
and, if as a result of changed conditions, it is determined that a Rule 144A
security is no longer liquid, the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities would
be reviewed to determine what, if any, steps are required to assure that the
Fund does not invest more than 15% of its assets in illiquid securities.
Investing in Rule 144A securities could have the effect of increasing the amount
of a Fund's assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional
buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.

SHORT SALES

      Each Fund may make short sales of securities if (a) the Fund owns at
least an equal amount of such securities, or of securities that are convertible
or exchangeable, or anticipated to be convertible or exchangeable, into at least
an equal amount of such securities with no restriction other than the payment of
additional consideration or (b) immediately after such a short sale the
aggregate value of all securities that the Fund is short (excluding the value of
securities sold short against-the-box) does not exceed 5% of the value of the
Fund's net assets, and the Fund covers such short sales as described in the
following paragraph.

      In a short sale, a Fund does not deliver from its portfolio the securities
sold and does not receive immediately the proceeds from the short sale. Instead,
the Fund borrows the securities sold short from a broker-dealer through which
the short sale is executed, and the broker-dealer delivers such securities, on
behalf of the Fund, to the purchaser of such securities. Such broker-dealer is
entitled to retain the proceeds from the short sale until the Fund delivers to
such broker-dealer the securities sold short. In addition, the Fund is required
to pay to the broker-dealer the amount of any dividends paid on shares sold
short. Finally, in order to cover its short positions, the Fund must deposit and
continuously maintain in a separate account with the Fund's custodian either (1)
an equivalent amount of the securities sold short or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for such securities without the payment of additional
consideration or (2) cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities
having a value equal to the excess of (a) the market value of the securities
sold short over (b) the value of any cash, U.S. government securities or other
liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the
short sale.  A Fund is said to have a short position in the securities sold
until it delivers to the broker-dealer the securities sold, at which time the
Fund receives the proceeds of the sale. A Fund may close out a short position by
purchasing on the open market and delivering to the broker-dealer an equal
amount of the securities sold short, rather than by delivering portfolio
securities.

      Short sales may protect a Fund against the risk of losses in the value of
its portfolio securities because any unrealized losses with respect to such
portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding
gain in the short position. However, any potential gains in such portfolio
securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding loss in the
short position. The extent to which such gains or losses are offset will depend
upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the amount the Fund owns,
either directly or indirectly, and, in the case where the Fund owns convertible
securities, changes in the conversion premium.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      Short sale transactions involve certain risks. If the price of the
security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a
Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss and if the price
declines during this period, the Fund will realize a short-term capital gain.
Any realized short-term capital gain will be decreased, and any incurred loss
increased, by the amount of transaction costs and any premium, dividend or
interest which the Fund may have to pay in connection with such short sale.
Certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit the degree to which a
Fund is able to enter into short sales. There is no limitation on the amount of
each Fund's assets that, in the aggregate, may be deposited as collateral for
the obligation to replace securities borrowed to effect short sales and
allocated to segregated accounts in connection with short sales.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

      Each Fund may acquire securities in private placements. Because an active
trading market may not exist for such securities, the sale of such securities
may be subject to delay and additional costs. No Fund will purchase such a
security if more than 15% of the value of such Fund's net assets would be
invested in illiquid securities.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

      Each Fund except Oakmark Fund may lend its portfolio securities to
broker-dealers and banks to the extent indicated in restriction 7 under
"Investment Restrictions." Any such loan must be continuously secured by
collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an
amount at least equal to the market 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 would have the right to call the loan and
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. In
addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the
value of the securities loaned while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights
thereto and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income and lack of
access to income during this period.

OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

      Certain markets are closed in whole or in part to direct equity
investments by foreigners. A Fund may be able to invest in such markets solely
or primarily through governmentally authorized investment vehicles or companies.

      Each Fund generally may invest up to 10% of its assets in the aggregate in
shares of other investment companies and up to 5% of its assets in any one
investment company, as long as no investment represents more than 3% of the
outstanding voting stock of the acquired investment company at the time of
investment.

      Investment in another investment company may involve the payment of a
premium above the value of such issuers' portfolio securities, and is subject to
market availability. The Funds do not intend to invest in such vehicles or funds
unless, in the judgment of the Adviser, the potential benefits of the investment
justify the payment of any applicable premium or sales charge. As a shareholder
in an investment company, a Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment
company's expenses, including its advisory and administration fees. At the same
time the Fund would continue to pay its own management fees and other expenses.


                                       11

OPTIONS

      Each Fund may purchase and sell both call options and put options on
securities. An option on a security is a contract that gives the purchaser
(holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call)
or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security underlying
the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the
option. The writer of an option on an individual security has the obligation
upon exercise of a call option to deliver the underlying security upon
payment of the exercise price or upon exercise of a put option to pay the
exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security.

      It is expected that a Fund will not purchase a call option or a put
option if the aggregate value of all call and put options held by the Fund
would exceed 5% of the Fund's net assets.

      Each Fund will write call options and put options only if they are
"covered." For example, in the case of a call option, the option is "covered"
if the Fund owns the security underlying the option or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that security without additional consideration
(or, if additional consideration is required, assets having a value at least
equal to that amount are segregated on the books of a fund) upon conversion
or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.

      If an option written by a Fund expires, the Fund realizes a capital
gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was written. If an
option purchased by a Fund expires, the Fund realizes a capital loss equal to
the premium paid.

      Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, the writer may close
out the option by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same
series (type, exchange, underlying security or index, exercise price and
expiration). There can be no assurance, however, that a closing purchase or
sale transaction can be effected when a Fund desires.

      If a Fund closes out an option it has written, it will realize a
capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the closing
option is less than the premium received from writing the option, or, if it
is more, the Fund will realize a capital loss. If the premium received from a
closing sale transaction is more than the premium paid to purchase the
option, the Fund will realize a capital gain or, if it is less, the Fund will
realize a capital loss. The principal factors affecting the market value of a
put or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current
market price of the underlying security in relation to the exercise price of
the option, the volatility of the underlying security or index, and the time
remaining until the expiration date.

      A put or call option purchased by a Fund is an asset of the Fund, valued
initially at the premium paid for the option. The premium received for an option
written by a Fund is recorded as a deferred credit. The value of an option
purchased or written is marked-to-market daily and is valued at the closing
price on the exchange on which it is traded, or, if not traded on an exchange or
no closing price is available, at the mean between the last bid and asked
prices.

      There are several risks associates with transactions in options. For
example, there are significant differences between the securities markets and
the options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these
markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision
as to whether, when, and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and
judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some
degree because of market behavior or unexpected events.

      There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund
seeks to close out an option position. If a Fund was unable to close out an
option that it had purchased on a security, it would have to exercise the option
in order to realize any profit or the option would expire and become worthless.
If a Fund was unable to close out a covered call option that it had written on a
security, it would not be able to sell the underlying security until the option
expired. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, a Fund foregoes,
during the option's life, the

                                       12
<PAGE>

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. If trading were suspended in an option purchased or written by a Fund,
that Fund would not able to close out the option. If restrictions on exercise
were imposed, the Fund might be unable to exercise an option it has purchased.

TEMPORARY STRATEGIES

      Each Fund has the flexibility to respond promptly to changes in market and
economic conditions. In the interest of preserving shareholders' capital, the
Adviser may employ a temporary defensive investment strategy if it determines
such a strategy to be warranted. Pursuant to such a defensive strategy, a Fund
temporarily may hold cash (U.S. dollars, foreign currencies, or multinational
currency units) and/or invest up to 100% of its assets in high quality debt
securities or money market instruments of U.S. or foreign issuers, and most or
all of the investments of International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and
Global Fund may be made in the United States and denominated in U.S. dollars. It
is impossible to predict whether, when or for how long a Fund will employ
defensive strategies.

      In addition, pending investment of proceeds from new sales of Fund shares
or to meet ordinary daily cash needs, each Fund temporarily may hold cash (U.S.
dollars, foreign currencies or multinational currency units) and may invest any
portion of its assets in money market instruments.


                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

      From time to time the Funds may quote total return figures in sales
material. "Total Return" for a period is the percentage change in value
during the period of an investment in Fund shares, including the value of
shares acquired through reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
distributions.  Total return figures quoted by the Funds will assume
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, but will not take into
account income taxes payable by shareholders.  Total return is not intended
to indicate future performance. "Average Annual Total Return" is the average
annual compounded rate of change in value represented by the Total Return for
the period.

      Average Annual Total Return will be computed as follows:

              ERV = P(1+T)to the power of n

      Where:    P = the amount of an assumed initial investment in Fund shares
                T = average annual total return
                n = number of years from initial investment to the end of the
                    period
               ERV = ending redeemable value of shares held at the end of the
                     period

      For example, Total Return and Average Annual Total Return on a $1,000
investment in Class I Shares of each Fund for the following periods ended
September 30, 1999 were:

No information is provided for Class II Shares, because no Class II Shares had

     The Funds also may, from time to time, quote their yield. Yield is based on
historical earnings and is not intended to indicate future performance.  The
yield of a Fund refers to the income generated  by an investment in that Fund
over a one-month period (which  period will be stated in the sales material).
This income is then "annualized."  That is, the amount of income generated by
the investment during the month is assumed to be generated each month over a 12
month period and is shown as a percentage of the investment.

     Yield quotations are based on a 30-day (or one  month) period, and are
computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the
period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period,
according to the following formula:

                  a-b
     Yield = 2 [( --- +1) raised to the power of 6 - 1]
                  cd

     Where:   a = dividends and interest earned during the period
              b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
              c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the
                  period that were entitled to receive dividends
              d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
                  period

     Although they may do so in the future, each Fund typically has not
calculated or advertised its yield.


     The Funds impose no sales charge and pay no distribution ("12b-1")
expenses. Each Fund's performance is a function of conditions in the
securities markets, portfolio management, and operating expenses. Although
information such as yield and total return is useful in reviewing a Fund's
performance and in providing some basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives, it should not be used for comparison with other investments
using different reinvestment assumptions or time periods.

      In advertising and sales literature, the performance of a Fund may be
compared with that of other mutual funds, indexes or averages of other mutual
funds, indexes of related financial assets or data, and other competing
investment and deposit products available from or through other financial
institutions. The composition of these indexes or averages differs from that of
the Funds. Comparison of a Fund to an alternative investment should consider
differences in features and expected performance.

      All of the indexes and averages noted below will be obtained from the
indicated sources or reporting services, which the Funds generally believe to be
accurate. The Funds may also refer to publicity (including performance rankings)
in newspapers, magazines, or other media from time to time. However, the Funds
assume no responsibility for the accuracy of such data. Newspapers and magazines
that might mention the Funds include, but are not limited to, the following:

      A Fund may compare its performance to the Consumer Price Index (All
Urban), a widely recognized measure of inflation. The performance of a Fund may
also be compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE (Europe,
Australia and Far East) Index*, a generally accepted benchmark for
performance of major overseas markets, and to the following indexes or averages:

   Dow-Jones Industrial Average*
   Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index*
   Standard & Poor's 400 Industrials
   Standard & Poor's Small Cap 600*
   Standard & Poor's Mid Cap 400*
   Russell 2000
   Wilshire 5000
   New York Stock Exchange Composite Index
   American Stock Exchange Composite Index
   NASDAQ Composite
   NASDAQ Industrials

      In addition, each of Oakmark Fund, Select Fund, Small Cap Fund and
Equity and Income Fund may compare its performance to the following indexes
and averages: Value Line Index; Lipper Capital Appreciation Fund Average;
Lipper Growth Funds Average; Lipper Small Company Growth Funds Average;
Lipper General Equity Funds Average; Lipper Equity Funds Average; Lipper
Small Company Growth Fund Index; and Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index. Each of International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and
Global Fund may compare its performance to the following indexes and
averages: Lipper International & Global Funds Average; Lipper Global Fund
Index; Lipper International Fund Index; Lipper International Equity Funds
Average; Micropal International Small Company Fund Index; Morgan Stanley
Capital International World ex the U.S. Index*; and Morningstar International
Stock Average.


      Lipper Indexes and Averages are calculated and published by Lipper, Inc.
("Lipper"), an independent service that monitors the performance of more than
1,000 funds. The Funds may also use comparative performance as computed in a
ranking by Lipper or category averages and rankings provided by another
independent service. Should Lipper or another service reclassify a Fund to a
different category or develop (and place a Fund into) a new category, that Fund
may compare its performance or ranking against other funds in the newly assigned
category, as published by the service. Each Fund may also compare its
performance or ranking against all funds tracked by Lipper or another
independent service, including Morningstar, Inc.

      The Funds may cite their ratings, recognition, or other mention by
Morningstar or any other entity. Morningstar's rating system is based on
risk-adjusted total return performance and is expressed in a star-rating format.
The risk-adjusted number is computed by subtracting a fund's risk score (which
is a function of the fund's monthly returns less the 3-month T-bill return) from
the fund's load-adjusted total return score. This numerical score is then
translated into rating categories, with the top 10% labeled five star, the next
22.5% labeled four star, the next 35% labeled three star, the next 22.5% labeled
two star, and the bottom 10% one star. A high rating reflects either
above-average returns or below-average risk or both.

      To illustrate the historical returns on various types of financial assets,
the Funds may use historical data provided by Ibbotson Associates, Inc.
("Ibbotson"), a Chicago-based investment firm. Ibbotson constructs (or obtains)
very long-term (since 1926) total return data (including, for example, total
return indexes, total return percentages, average annual total returns and
standard deviations of such returns) for the following asset types: common
stocks; small company stocks;

long-term corporate bonds; long-term government bonds; intermediate-term
government bonds; U.S. Treasury bills; and Consumer Price Index.


                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

      The Funds' investment adviser, Harris Associates L.P. (the "Adviser"),
furnishes continuing investment supervision to the Funds and is responsible for
overall management of the Funds' business affairs pursuant to investment
advisory agreements relating to the respective Funds (the "Agreements"). The
Adviser furnishes office space, equipment and personnel to the Funds, and
assumes the expenses of printing and distributing the Funds' prospectus,
profiles and reports to prospective investors.

      Each Fund pays the cost of its custodial, stock transfer, dividend
disbursing, bookkeeping, audit and legal services. Each Fund also pays other
expenses such as the cost of proxy solicitations, printing and distributing
notices and copies of the prospectus and shareholder reports furnished to
existing shareholders, taxes, insurance premiums, the expenses of maintaining
the registration of that Fund's shares under federal and state securities laws
and the fees of trustees not affiliated with the Adviser.

      The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Class I Shares of each
Fund to the extent that the annual ordinary operating expenses of that class
exceed the following percentages of the average net assets of Class I Shares:
1.50% in the case of Oakmark Fund, Select Fund or Small Cap Fund; 1.00% in
the case of Equity and Income Fund; 1.75% in the case of Global Fund; and
2.00% in the case of International Fund and International Small Cap Fund. The
Adviser has also voluntarily agreed to reimburse Class II Shares of each Fund
to the extent that the annual ordinary operating expenses of that class
exceed the following percentages of the average net assets of Class II
Shares: Oakmark Fund, Select Fund or Small Cap Fund, 1.75% (1.50% + .25%);
Equity and Income Fund, 1.25% (1.00% + .25%); Global Fund, 2.00% (1.75% +
 .25%); and International Fund and International Small Cap Fund, 2.25% (2.00%
+ .25%). Each such agreement is effective through January 31, 2001, subject
to earlier termination by the Adviser on 30 days' notice to the Fund.

      For the purpose of determining whether a share class of a Fund is entitled
to any reduction in advisory fee or expense reimbursement, the pro rata portion
of the Fund's expenses attributable to a share class of that Fund, is calculated
daily and any reduction in fee or reimbursement is made monthly.

      For its services as investment adviser, the Adviser receives from each
Fund a monthly fee based on that Fund's net assets at the end of the preceding
month. Basing the fee on net assets at the end of the preceding month has the
effect of (i) delaying the impact of changes in assets on the amount of the fee
and (ii) in the first year of a fund's operation, reducing the amount of the
aggregate fee by providing for no fee in the first month of operation. The
annual rates of fees as a percentage of each Fund's net assets are as follows:

                                 CODE OF ETHICS

      The 1940 Act and rules thereunder require that the Trust and the Adviser
establish standards and procedures for the detection and prevention of certain
conflicts of interest, including activities by which persons having knowledge of
the investments and investment intentions of the Trust might take advantage of
that knowledge for their own benefit. The Trust and the Adviser have adopted a
Code of Ethics to meet those concerns and legal requirements. Although the Code
does not prohibit employees who have knowledge of the investments and investment
intentions of any of the Funds from engaging in personal securities investing,
it does regulate such personal securities investing by these employees as a part
of the effort by the Trust and the Adviser to detect and prevent conflicts of
interest.

*  The Trust is not part of a fund complex.

Other trustees who are "interested persons" of the Trust, as well as the
officers of the Trust, are compensated by the Adviser and not by the Trust. The
Trust does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its trustees.

      The Trust has a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") that permits
any trustee who is not an "interested person" of the Trust commencing in 2000
to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as a
trustee for two or more years. The deferred compensation of a participating
trustee is credited to a book reserve account of the Trust when the
compensation would otherwise have been paid to the trustee. The value of the
trustee's deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account
would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and
reinvested in shares of one or more of the Oakmark Funds or the Goldman Sachs
Institutional Liquid Assets Government Portfolio as designated by the
trustee. At the time for commencing distributions from a trustee's deferral
account, which is no later than when the trustee ceases to be a member of the
board, the trustee may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a
period of five years. Each Fund's obligation to make distributions under the
Plan is a general obligation of that Fund. No Fund will be liable for any
other Fund's obligations to make distributions under the Plan.


                             PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

      The only persons known by the Trust to own of record or "beneficially"

Exchange Act of 1934) 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any Fund as of

                         PURCHASING AND REDEEMING SHARES

      Purchases and redemptions are discussed in the Funds' prospectus under
the headings "Investing with The Oakmark Family of Funds," "How to Buy Class
I Shares," "How to Sell Class I Shares" and "Shareholder Services."

NET ASSET VALUE

      The net asset value per Class I Share or per Class II Share of each Fund
is determined by the Trust's custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company. The
net asset value of Class I Shares of a Fund is determined by dividing the value
of the assets attributable to Class I Shares of the Fund, less liabilities
attributable to that class, by the number of Class I Shares outstanding.
Similarly, the net asset value of Class II Shares of a Fund is determined by
dividing the value of the assets attributable to Class II Shares of the Fund,
less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of Class II Shares
outstanding. Securities traded on securities exchanges, or in the
over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported on the NASDAQ
National Market System, 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. Other securities traded over-the-counter are also


                                       22
<PAGE>

valued at the most recent bid quotations. Money market instruments having a
maturity of 60 days or less from the valuation date are valued on an amortized
cost basis. The values of securities of foreign issuers are generally based upon
market quotations which, depending upon local convention or regulation, may be
last sale price, last bid or asked price, or the mean between last bid and asked
prices as of, in each case, the close of the appropriate exchange or other
designated time. Securities for which quotations are not available and any other
assets are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the board of trustees. All assets and liabilities initially
expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean of
the bid and offer prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by any
major bank or dealer. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange
will be determined in accordance with policies established in good faith by the
Board.

      The Funds' net asset values are determined only on days on which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading. The NYSE is regularly closed on
Saturdays and Sundays and on New Year's Day, the third Monday in January and
February, Good Friday, the last Monday in May, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas. If one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday, the NYSE will be closed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday,
respectively.

      Trading in the portfolio securities of International Fund, International
Small Cap Fund or Global Fund (and of any other Fund, to the extent it invests
in securities of non-U.S. issuers) takes place in various foreign markets on
certain days (such as Saturday) when the Fund is not open for business and does
not calculate its net asset value. In addition, trading in the Fund's portfolio
securities may not occur on days when the Fund is open. Therefore, the
calculation of net asset value does not take place contemporaneously with the
determinations of the prices of many of the Fund's portfolio securities and the
value of the Fund's portfolio may be significantly affected on days when shares
of the Fund may not be purchased or redeemed.

      Computation of net asset value (and the sale and redemption of a Fund's
shares) may be suspended or postponed during any period when (a) trading on the
New York Stock Exchange is restricted, as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or that exchange is closed for other than customary weekend
and holiday closings, (b) the Commission has by order permitted such suspension,
or (c) an emergency, as determined by the Commission, exists making disposal of
portfolio securities or valuation of the net assets of a Fund not reasonably
practicable.

SHARES PURCHASED THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES

      Class I Shares of any of the Funds may be purchased through certain
financial service companies, who are agents of the Funds for the limited purpose
of completing purchases and sales. For services provided by such a company with
respect to Fund shares held by that company for its customers, the company may
charge a fee of up to 0.35% of the annual average value of those accounts. Each
Fund may pay a portion of those fees, not to exceed the estimated fees that the
Fund would pay to its own transfer agent if the shares of the Fund held by such
customers of the company were registered directly in their names on the books of
the Fund's transfer agent. The balance of those fees are paid by the Adviser.

      Purchases through intermediaries that are authorized agents of the
Trust are made at the net asset value next determined after receipt of the
orders by such intermediaries. A purchase through an intermediary that is not
an authorized agent of the Trust for the receipt of orders is made at the net
asset value next determined after receipt of your order by the Trust's
transfer agent.


                                       23
<PAGE>

      To buy and sell Class II Shares, you must do so through an
intermediary, such as a broker-dealer, bank, retirement plan service provider
or retirement plan sponsor ("Intermediary"). The Intermediary accepts
purchase and sale orders for Class II Shares as an authorized agent of the
Trust pursuant to a written agreement. The Intermediary is required to
segregate any orders received on a business day after the close of regular
session trading on the New York Stock Exchange and transmit those orders
separately for execution at the net asset value next determined after that
business day.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

      The Funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act
pursuant to which it is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the
lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of a Fund during any 90-day
period for any one shareholder. Redemptions in excess of those amounts will
normally be paid in cash, but may be paid wholly or partly by a distribution in
kind of marketable securities. Brokerage costs may be incurred by a shareholder
who receives securities and desires to convert them to cash.

REDEMPTION OF SMALL ACCOUNTS

Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining small accounts, the Trust
reserves the right to redeem at net asset value the shares of any shareholder
whose account in any Fund has a value as a result of redemptions of less than
the minimum amount specified by the board of trustees, which currently is
$1,000. Before such a redemption, the shareholder will be notified that the
account value is less than the minimum and will be allowed at least 30 days to
bring the value of the account up to the minimum. The agreement and declaration
of trust also authorizes the Trust to redeem shares under certain other
circumstances as may be specified by the board of trustees.

90-DAY REDEMPTION FEE - CLASS I SHARES

Each Fund except Oakmark Fund and Equity and Income Fund imposes a short-term
trading fee on redemptions of Class I Shares held less than 90 days to offset
two types of costs to the Fund caused by short-term trading: portfolio
transaction and market impact costs associated with erratic redemption activity
and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The fee is 2%
of the redemption value and is deducted from the redemption proceeds. The
"first-in, first-out" (FIFO) method is used to determine the holding period,
which means that if you bought shares on different days, the shares purchased
first will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the short-term
trading fee applies.

No Fund Imposes a redemption fee on a redemption of:

-   shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of a Fund; or
-   shares held in an account of certain retirement plans or profit sharing
    plans or purchased through certain Intermediaries.

MONEY MARKET EXCHANGE FUND

      The Adviser acts as a Service Organization for the Institutional Liquid
Assets Service Units ("Units") of the Government Portfolio of Goldman Sachs
Trust, which Units may be purchased directly or by exchanging shares of a
Fund. For its services, the Adviser receives fees at a rate of .50% of the
average annual net assets of the portfolio, pursuant to a 12b-1 plan adopted
by the Goldman Sachs Trust.

                           ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

      GENERAL. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, so as to be relieved of federal


                                       24
<PAGE>

income tax on its capital gains and net investment income currently distributed
to its shareholders. At the time of your purchase, a Fund's net asset value may
reflect undistributed income, capital gains or net unrealized appreciation of
securities held by that Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts,
although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable either as
dividends or capital gain distributions.

      INTERNATIONAL FUND AND INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP FUND. Dividends and
distributions paid by International Fund and International Small Cap Fund are
not eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders, if
as expected, none of such Funds' income consists of dividends paid by United
States corporations. Capital gain distributions paid by the Funds are never
eligible for this deduction.

      Certain foreign currency gains and losses, including the portion of gain
or loss on the sale of debt securities attributable to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations are taxable as ordinary income. If the net effect of these
transactions is a gain, the dividend paid by any of these Funds will be
increased; if the result is a loss, the income dividend paid by any of these
Funds will be decreased.

      Income received by a Fund from sources within various foreign countries
will be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. Under the Code,
if more than 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of its
taxable year comprise securities issued by foreign corporations, the Fund may
file an election with the Internal Revenue Service to "pass through" to the
Fund's shareholders the amount of foreign income taxes paid by the Fund.
Pursuant to this election, shareholders will be required to: (i) include in
gross income, even though not actually received, their respective pro rata share
of foreign taxes paid by the Fund; (ii) treat their pro rata share of foreign
taxes as paid by them; and (iii) either deduct their pro rata share of foreign
taxes in computing their taxable income, or use it as a foreign tax credit
against U.S. income taxes (but not both). No deduction for foreign taxes may be
claimed by a shareholder who does not itemize deductions.

      International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and Global Fund intend to
meet the requirements of the Code to "pass through" to their shareholders
foreign income taxes paid, but there can be no assurance that they will be able
to do so. Each shareholder will be notified within 60 days after the close of
each taxable year of a Fund, if the foreign taxes paid by the Fund will "pass
through" for that year, and, if so, the amount of each shareholder's pro rata
share (by country) of (i) the foreign taxes paid, and (ii) the Fund's gross
income from foreign sources. Of course, shareholders who are not liable for
federal income taxes, such as retirement plans qualified under Section 401 of
the Code, will not be affected by any such "pass through" of foreign tax
credits.


                                       25
<PAGE>

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

      Portfolio transactions for each Fund are placed with those securities
brokers and dealers that the Adviser believes will provide the best value in
transaction and research services for that Fund, either in a particular
transaction or over a period of time. Subject to that standard, portfolio
transactions for each Fund may be executed through Harris Associates Securities
L.P. ("HASLP"), a registered broker-dealer and an affiliate of the Adviser.

      In valuing brokerage services, the Adviser makes a judgment as to which
brokers are capable of providing the most favorable net price (not necessarily
the lowest commission) and the best execution in a particular transaction. Best
execution connotes not only general competence and reliability of a broker, but
specific expertise and effort of a broker in overcoming the anticipated
difficulties in fulfilling the requirements of particular transactions, because
the problems of execution and the required skills and effort vary greatly among
transactions.

      Although some transactions involve only brokerage services, many involve
research services as well. In valuing research services, the Adviser makes a
judgment of the usefulness of research and other information provided by a
broker to the Adviser in managing a Fund's investment portfolio. In some cases,
the information, e.g., data or recommendations concerning particular securities,
relates to the specific transaction placed with the broker, but for the greater
part the research consists of a wide variety of information concerning
companies, industries, investment strategy and economic, financial and political
conditions and prospects, useful to the Adviser in advising the Funds.

      The Adviser is the principal source of information and advice to the
Funds, and is responsible for making and initiating the execution of the
investment decisions for each Fund. However, the board of trustees recognizes
that it is important for the Adviser, in performing its responsibilities to the
Funds, to continue to receive and evaluate the broad spectrum of economic and
financial information that many securities brokers have customarily furnished in
connection with brokerage transactions, and that in compensating brokers for
their services, it is in the interest of the Funds to take into account the
value of the information received for use in advising the Funds. Consequently,
the commission paid to brokers (other than HASLP) providing research services
may be greater than the amount of commission another broker would charge for the
same transaction. The extent, if any, to which the obtaining of such information
may reduce the expenses of the Adviser in providing management services to the
Funds is not determinable. In addition, it is understood by the board of
trustees that other clients of the Adviser might also benefit from the
information obtained for the Funds, in the same manner that the Funds might also
benefit from information obtained by the Adviser in performing services to
others.

      HASLP may act as broker for a Fund in connection with the purchase or sale
of securities by or to the Fund if and to the extent permitted by procedures
adopted from time to time by the board of trustees of the Trust. The board of
trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not "interested"
trustees, has determined that portfolio transactions for a Fund may be executed
through HASLP if, in the judgment of the Adviser, the use of HASLP is likely to
result in prices and execution at least as favorable to the Fund as those
available from other qualified brokers and if, in such transactions, HASLP
charges the Fund commission rates at least as favorable to the Fund as those
charged by HASLP to comparable unaffiliated customers in similar transactions.
The board of trustees has also adopted procedures that are reasonably designed
to provide that any commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to HASLP are
consistent with the foregoing standard. The Funds will not effect principal
transactions with HASLP. In executing transactions through HASLP, the Funds will
be subject to, and intend to comply with, section 17(e) of the 1940 Act and
rules thereunder.


                                       26
<PAGE>

      The reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid by the Funds in relation
to transaction and research services received is evaluated by the staff of the
Adviser on an ongoing basis. The general level of brokerage charges and other
aspects of the Funds' portfolio transactions are reviewed periodically by the
board of trustees.

      Transactions of the Funds in the over-the-counter market and the third
market are executed with primary market makers acting as principal except where
it is believed that better prices and execution may be obtained otherwise.

      Although investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from
those for other investment advisory clients of the Adviser, it may develop that
the same investment decision is made for both a Fund and one or more other
advisory clients. If both a Fund and other clients purchase or sell the same
class of securities on the same day, the transactions will be allocated as to
amount and price in a manner considered equitable to each over time.

      The Funds do not purchase securities with a view to rapid turnover.
However, there are no limitations on the length of time that portfolio
securities must be held. Portfolio turnover can occur for a number of reasons,
including general conditions in the securities market, more favorable investment
opportunities in other securities, or other factors relating to the desirability
of holding or changing a portfolio investment. A high rate of portfolio turnover
would result in increased transaction expense, which must be borne by the Fund.
High portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of capital gains or
losses and, to the extent net short-term capital gains are realized, any
distributions resulting from such gains will be considered ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes. The portfolio turnover rates for the Funds are set
forth in the prospectus under "Financial Highlights."

      The following table shows the aggregate brokerage commissions (excluding
the gross underwriting spread on securities purchased in initial public
offerings) paid by each Fund during the periods indicated, as well as the
aggregate commissions paid to affiliated persons of the Trust.

                              DECLARATION OF TRUST

      The Agreement and Declaration of Trust under which the Trust has been
organized ("Declaration of Trust") disclaims liability of the shareholders,
trustees and officers of the Trust for acts or obligations of the Trust and
requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation,
or contract entered into or executed by the Trust or the board of trustees. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the Trust's assets for
all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for
obligations of the Trust. Thus, although shareholders of a business trust may,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable under Massachusetts law
for the obligations of the Trust, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial
loss on account of shareholder liability is believed to be remote because it is
limited to circumstances in which the disclaimer is inoperative and the Trust
itself is unable to meet its obligations. The Trust and the Adviser believe that
the risk to any one series of sustaining a loss on account of liabilities
incurred by another series is remote.


                          CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT

      State Street Bank and Trust Company, P.O. Box 8510, Boston Massachusetts
02266-8510 is the custodian for the Trust. It is responsible for holding all
securities and cash of each Fund, receiving and paying for securities purchased,
delivering against payment securities sold, receiving and collecting income from
investments, making all payments covering expenses of the Funds, and performing
other administrative duties, all as directed by authorized persons of the


                                       28
<PAGE>

Trust. The custodian also performs certain portfolio accounting services for
the Funds, for which each Fund pays the custodian a monthly fee. The fee paid
by Oakmark Fund is $2,500 per month. The fee paid by Oakmark International is
$3,000 per month. The fee paid by each of Select Fund, Small Cap Fund and
Equity and Income Fund is $2,500 per month and the fee paid by International
Small Cap Fund is $3,000 per month. The fee paid by Global Fund is $3,000 per
month; however, such fee has been waived for the first six months of the
Fund's operations. The custodian does not exercise any supervisory function
in such matters as the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, payment of
dividends, or payment of expenses of a Fund. The Trust has authorized the
custodian to deposit certain portfolio securities of each Fund in central
depository systems as permitted under federal law. The Funds may invest in
obligations of the custodian and may purchase or sell securities from or to
the custodian.

      Nvest Services Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser ("NSC"), 399
Boylston Street, 5th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, performs transfer
agency services for the Funds. NSC maintains shareholder accounts and prepares
and mails shareholder account statements, processes shareholder transactions,
mails shareholders reports, prepares and mails distribution payments, maintains
records of Fund transactions and provides blue sky reporting services. The Trust
pays NSC for its services based on the number of open accounts and transactions
it performs on behalf of the Trust.


                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

      Arthur Andersen LLP, 33 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603,
audits and reports on each Fund's annual financial statements, reviews certain
regulatory reports and the Funds' federal income tax returns, and performs other
professional accounting, auditing, tax and advisory services when engaged to do
so by the Trust.

                           APPENDIX A -- BOND RATINGS

      A rating by a rating service represents the service's opinion as to the
credit quality of the security being rated. However, the ratings are general and
are not absolute standards of quality or guarantees as to the credit-worthiness
of an issuer. Consequently, the Adviser believes that the quality of debt
securities in which the Fund invests should be continuously reviewed and that
individual analysts give different weightings to the various factors involved in
credit analysis. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a
security, because it does not take into account market value or suitability for
a particular investor. When a security has received a rating from more than one
service, each rating should be evaluated independently. Ratings are based on
current information furnished by the issuer or obtained by the rating services
from other sources which they consider reliable. Ratings may be changed,
suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in or unavailability of such
information, or for other reasons.

      The following is a description of the characteristics of ratings used by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's ("S&P").

RATINGS BY MOODY'S:

      Aaa. Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge". Interest payments are protected by a large or an exceptionally stable
margin and principal is secure. Although the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such bonds.

      Aa. Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection
may not be as large as in the Aaa bonds, fluctuation of protective elements may
be of greater amplitude, or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa bonds.

      A. Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

      Baa. Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.

      Ba. Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during
other good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes
bonds in this class.

      B. Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

      Caa. Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default
or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.


                                      A-1
<PAGE>

      Ca. Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

      C. Bonds rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and issues so rated
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real
investment standing.

Ratings By Standard & Poor's:

      AAA. Debt rated AAA has the highest rating. Capacity to pay interest and
repay principal is extremely strong.

      AA. Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.

      A. Debt rated A has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated
categories.

      BBB. Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions, or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than for debt in higher rated categories.

      BB-B-CCC-CC. Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and CC are regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. While such
bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are
outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

      C. This rating is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.

      D. Debt rated D is in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears.

      NOTE: The ratings from AA to B may be modified by the addition of a plus
(+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

       THE OAKMARK FAMILY OF FUNDS
--------------------------------------------------------------
               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 ........................................................................

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following are the significant accounting policies of The Oakmark Fund
("Oakmark"), The Oakmark Select Fund ("Select"), The Oakmark Small Cap Fund
("Small Cap"), The Oakmark Equity and Income Fund ("Equity and Income"), The
Oakmark Global Fund ("Global"), The Oakmark International Fund
("International"), and The Oakmark International Small Cap Fund ("Int'l Small
Cap") collectively referred to as "the Funds", each a series of the Harris
Associates Investment Trust (a Massachusetts business trust). These policies are
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("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.

SECURITY VALUATION--
Investments are stated at current market value. Securities traded on securities
exchanges and securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the
last sales price on the day of valuation, or if lacking any reported sales that
day, at the most recent bid quotation. Over-the-counter securities not so traded
are valued at the most recent bid quotation. Money market instruments having a
maturity of 60 days or less from the date of valuation are valued on an
amortized cost basis which approximates market value. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at a fair value as determined by
the Pricing Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS--
Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the mean of the bid and offer
prices of such currencies at the time 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 with the net realized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized gains on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign
currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement
dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of
dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books,
and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid, and the
realized gains or losses resulting from the portfolio and transaction hedges.

At September 30, 1999, only the Equity and Income, Global, International and
Int'l Small Cap Funds had foreign currency transactions. Net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation)-other includes the following components:

</TABLE>

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.
Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuing basis at net asset value. Net
asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on
the New York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading by
dividing the total value of the Fund's investments and other assets, less
liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--
At September 30, 1999, Global, International and Int'l Small Cap had entered
into forward foreign currency contracts under which they are obligated to
exchange currencies at specified future dates. The Funds' currency transactions
are limited to transaction hedging and portfolio hedging involving either
specific transactions or portfolio positions. These contracts are valued daily
and the fund's net equity therein, representing 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
reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized
and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)
 ........................................................................

The contractual amounts of forward foreign exchange 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. Risks arise from the possible inability
of counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in
currency values.

The Global Fund had the following outstanding contracts at September 30, 1999:

       THE OAKMARK FAMILY OF FUNDS
--------------------------------------------------------------
               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)
 ........................................................................

SECURITIES LENDING--
Each Fund except The Oakmark Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-
dealers and banks. As of December 31, 1998, the Funds discontinued participation
in a securities lending program and any securities previously loaned to
borrowers have been returned.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--
No provision is made for Federal income taxes. The Funds elect to be taxed as
"regulated investment companies" and make such distributions to their
shareholders as to be relieved of all Federal income taxes under provisions of
current Federal tax law.

The Funds hereby designate the approximate long term capital gains for purposes
of the dividends paid deduction (in thousands):

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                      SMALL  EQUITY &                 INT'L SMALL
  OAKMARK    SELECT    CAP    INCOME   GLOBAL  INT'L      CAP

  $618,028  $296,551   $0     $6,231     $0     $0      $5,912
</TABLE>

The amount of income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To
the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified among paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments. These differences are
primarily related to foreign currency transactions, deferral of losses on wash
sales, and character of capital loss carryforwards. The Funds also utilize
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a
part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

BANK LOANS--
The Funds have two unsecured lines of credit with a syndication of banks. One
line of credit is a committed line of $350 million and the other is an
uncommitted line of $250 million. Borrowings under this arrangement bear
interest at .50% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate. As of September 30,
1999, there were no outstanding borrowings.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each fund has an investment advisory agreement with Harris Associates L.P.
(Adviser). For management services and facilities furnished, the Funds pay the
Adviser monthly fees at annual rates as follows. Oakmark pays 1% on the first
$2.5 billion of net assets, .95% on the next $1.25 billion of net assets, .90%
on the next $1.25 billion of net assets, .85% on the next $5 billion of net

    net assets would have been 2.65% and the ratio of net income (loss) to
    average net assets would have been .50%.

        PROCEDURES. AN AUDIT ALSO INCLUDES ASSESSING THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
        USED AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES MADE BY MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS EVALUATING
        THE OVERALL FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR AUDITS
        PROVIDE A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR OPINION.
