7 Investment Philosophy Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy We view every stock purchase as if we are buying a piece of the business, not just a stock certificate Three key tenets of our philosophy: Buy businesses trading at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value Invest in companies expected to grow intrinsic value over time Invest with management teams that think and act as owners 7

8 Investment Philosophy Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy Paying significantly less than our estimate of intrinsic value helps generate investment returns while preserving capital and reducing portfolio risk Confirm growth in intrinsic value. Identify a wide gap between stock price and intrinsic business value Company s intrinsic value Growth in value and closing of price/value gap drive investment performance. Company s stock price 8

9 Investment Process Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy We build portfolios from the bottom up, focusing on company fundamentals to estimate intrinsic value and set buy/sell targets 9

10 Fundamental Research Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy Research analysts are generalists; focus on most attractive ideas Our research effort is proprietary. Our analysts meet regularly with management teams and industry contacts to develop our valuation estimates Sources of new ideas include: Time horizon: Wall Street overly focused on near-term conditions Missed earnings expectations / Fallen angels / New low list Mergers & acquisitions / Corporate restructurings Management changes Conduct intensive, fundamental analysis Assess each distinct business unit from a business owner s perspective Avoid fads or unseasoned businesses Assess management ability, objectives and incentives Demonstrated ability as sensible capital allocators Significant inside ownership and incentives 10

11 Fundamental Research Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy All fundamental elements of a business are scrutinized to determine if a significant value opportunity exists Develop estimate of intrinsic value Focus on free cash flow, not earnings Consider public and private transactions Confirm with additional valuation measures Set price targets Buy at a significant discount to intrinsic value Sell at or near intrinsic value Adjust targets to reflect fundamental changes in intrinsic value 11

12 Approved List Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy The Stock Selection Group meeting includes all investment professionals so investment ideas receive the broadest input and scrutiny U.S. Stock Selection Group (SSG) Weekly meeting for all investment professionals Three voting members Robert M. Levy, CIO and Portfolio Manager William C. Nygren, Portfolio Manager Clyde S. McGregor, Portfolio Manager Evaluate existing holdings and introduce new ideas Approved List Approximately 150 companies on list Portfolio Managers build customized portfolios from the Approved List Once sold, stocks are deleted from the list to encourage new ideas and reduce maintenance research 12

13 Portfolio Management Harris Associates U.S. Equity Fund We seek to drive investment performance through stock selection Construct portfolios stock by stock using a bottom-up investment process Focus: Large Cap strategy: USD 5 billion market cap and above Concentrated strategy: USD 1 billion market cap and above Avoid over-diversification: Large Cap strategy: approximately securities Concentrated strategy: approximately securities Set security weightings to reflect confidence and expected return Long-term time horizon leads to low portfolio turnover (generally 30-40%) Conduct weekly portfolio strategy meetings Discuss current and potential holdings Review security weightings 13

14 Investment and Risk Management Harris Associates U.S. Equity Strategy We define risk as the permanent loss of capital Philosophy Buy at a substantial discount to intrinsic value Invest with owner-oriented management teams Research Process Conduct intensive, fundamental analysis Limit analyst research workload to promote thorough, creative effort Perform regular company reviews, including Devil s Advocate Portfolio Management Achieve adequate portfolio diversification. In general: No more than 25% in one industry; no more than 10% in one company Sell discipline: Reduce position as better return opportunities become available Sell when the stock reaches our sell target Sell when business/management no longer matches our thesis 14

16 Harris Associates Market Overview

17 Harris Associates Market Overview The S&P 500 Index continues to rise at a surprisingly strong pace, up another 7% through 6/30/14, even after tripling from 2009 lows. The U.S. banking system is on much firmer ground and the Fed announced their intention to end years of QE by October. Corporate fundamentals remain impressive, with profit margins near all-time highs and excess cash flow at a six-decade high. Deployment of cash is delivering further benefits to investors through higher dividends, record stock buybacks and one of the strongest M&A markets we have seen in years. A stock s previous price rarely predicts its future value. While the market is not nearly as cheap as five years ago, future earnings expectations are much more important. - Why all the talk of an overvalued market? Missed the bull market again. Financials - never again. Absence of low multiple stocks/statistical cheapness. Headlines = opportunity 17

All data including performance data is sourced from NGAM S.A. as of the date of this material, except where otherwise indicated. More recent performance may be lower or higher. Principal value and returns fluctuate over time (including as a result of currency fluctuations) so that shares, when redeemed, will be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown is net of all fund expenses, but does not include the effect of sales charges, taxation or paying agent charges, and assumes reinvestment of dividends. If such charges were included, returns would have been lower. Performance for other share classes will be more or less depending on differences in fees and sales charges. For periods when certain share classes were unsubscribed or not yet created (the "inactive share classes"), performance is imputed using the actual performance of the fund's active share class which has been determined by the management company as having the closest characteristics to such inactive share class and adjusting it based on the difference in TERs and, where applicable, converting the net asset value of the active share class into the currency of quotation of the inactive share class. The quoted performance for such inactive share class is the result of an indicative calculation.
