Insights

The launch of Oakmark's first ETF represents a significant strategic move in the evolving asset management landscape. This actively managed ETF enters a competitive market where passive funds dominate, but brings Harris|Oakmark's established value investing approach to a new vehicle format. The ETF's concentrated portfolio of 30-40 holdings indicates a high-conviction strategy, which differentiates it from index-based competitors.

The management team's track record, particularly Bill Nygren's tenure since 1983 and his Morningstar recognition, adds credibility to this offering. The ETF structure offers several advantages over traditional mutual funds, including potentially lower costs, better tax efficiency through in-kind creation/redemption and intraday trading flexibility.

While this launch expands Harris|Oakmark's product lineup, investors should note that value investing strategies have faced challenges in recent years against growth-focused approaches. The success of this ETF will largely depend on market conditions and the team's ability to identify undervalued large-cap opportunities.

Understanding the Risks

Oakmark U.S. Large Cap ETF (OAKM) / Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objective will be achieved. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate a specific index. Exchange-Traded Fund (ETFs) are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of ETF's shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact an ETF's ability to sell its shares. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund invests primarily in large capitalization securities, which may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or opportunities, attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, or be out of favor under certain market conditions. The Fund tends to be invested in a relatively focused portfolio of securities, thus the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the Fund's net asset value versus investing in a larger number of securities. Common stocks are subject to special risks. As the Fund is new, there is a limited operating history and there can be no assurance it will grow to an economically viable size, in which case it may cease operations and require investors to liquidate or transfer their investments. These and other risk considerations, such as market, sector or industry, large shareholder, and value style, are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

Oakmark Fund / Tends to be invested in a relatively small number of securities. As a result, the appreciation or depreciation of any one security held will have a greater impact on the net asset value than it would invested in a larger number of securities. Although that strategy has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also increases the volatility.

Oakmark Select Fund / Because the Oakmark Select Fund is non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on total return and may make returns more volatile than a more diversified fund. The stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods.

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund / Invests in medium- and lower quality debt securities that have higher yield potential but present greater investment and credit risk than higher quality securities, which may result in greater share price volatility. An economic downturn could severely disrupt the market in medium or lower grade debt securities and adversely affect the value of outstanding bonds and the ability of the issuers to repay principal and interest. The stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods.

Before investing, carefully consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges and other expenses. For this and other information that should be read carefully, please request a prospectus and summary prospectus by calling 1-800-OAKMARK (625-6275) (mutual funds) or 1-800-458-7452 (ETF) or visiting oakmark.com.
