OARBX Investment Objective and Strategy
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Harris Associates Investment Trust.
Investment objective
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund seeks income and preservation and growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. equity and debt securities (although the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in equity and debt securities of non-U.S. issuers). The Fund is intended to present a balanced investment program between growth and income by investing approximately 40-75% of its total assets in common stock, including securities convertible into common stock, and up to 60% of its total assets in debt securities issued by U.S. or non-U.S. governments and corporate entities rated at the time of purchase within the two highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in unrated or below investment grade rated debt securities, sometimes called junk bonds.
The Fund may invest in the securities of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies. The Fund uses a value investment philosophy in selecting equity securities. This value investment philosophy is based upon the belief that, over time, a company's stock price converges with the Adviser's estimate of its intrinsic or true business value. By ""true business value,"" the Adviser means its estimate of the price a knowledgeable buyer would pay to acquire the entire business. The Adviser believes that investing in securities priced significantly below what it believes is their true business value presents the best opportunity to achieve the Fund's investment objective. A company trading below its estimated intrinsic value is sometimes referred to as trading at a discount. The Adviser uses this value investment philosophy to identify companies that it believes have discounted stock prices compared to the companies' true business values.
In assessing such companies, the Adviser looks for the following characteristics, although the companies selected may not have all of these attributes: (1) free cash flows and intelligent investment of excess cash; (2) earnings that are growing and are reasonably predictable; and (3) high level of company management ownership. Key Tenets of the Oakmark Value Investment Philosophy: 1. Buy businesses that are trading at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimate of the company's intrinsic value. At the time the Adviser buys a company, the Adviser wants the company's stock to be inexpensive relative to what it believes the entire business is worth. 2. Invest with companies expected to grow shareholder value over time. Value investors can sometimes fall into the trap of buying a stock that is inexpensive for a reasonbecause the company just does not grow.
The Adviser looks for good quality, growing businesses with positive free cash flow and intelligent investment of cash. 3. Invest with management teams that think and act as owners. The Adviser seeks out companies with management teams that understand the dynamics of per share value growth and are focused on achieving such growth. Stock ownership and incentives that align managements' interests with those of shareholders are key components of this analysis. In making its equity investment decisions, the Adviser uses a ""bottom-up"" approach focused on individual companies, rather than focusing on specific economic factors or specific industries. To facilitate its selection of investments that meet the criteria described above, the Adviser uses independent, in-house research to analyze each company.
As part of this selection process, the Adviser's analysts typically visit companies and conduct other research on the companies and their industries. Once the Adviser identifies a stock that it believes is selling at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimated intrinsic value and that the company has one or more of the additional qualities mentioned above, the Adviser may consider buying that stock for the Fund. The Adviser usually sells a stock when the price approaches its estimated value. This means the Adviser sets specific ""buy"" and ""sell"" targets for each stock the Fund holds. The Adviser monitors each portfolio holding and adjusts these price targets as warranted to reflect changes in a company's fundamentals. The Adviser believes that holding a relatively small number of stocks allows its ""best ideas"" to have a meaningful impact on the Fund's performance.
Therefore, the Fund's portfolio typically holds thirty to sixty stocks rather than hundreds, and a higher percentage of the Fund's total assets may at times also be invested in a particular sector or industry. The proportion of the Fund held in debt securities will vary in light of the Adviser's view of the attractiveness of debt securities. In times when the Adviser believes equities provide above average absolute value, the proportion of the Fund allocated to debt securities will decline. In selecting debt securities, the Adviser considers many factors, including among other things, quality, yield-to-maturity, liquidity, current yield and call risk. The Adviser believes the role of fixed income investments in the Fund is to help buffer the volatility of the Fund's equity portfolio and generate income."
