Fund Details
Oakmark Institutional Overview
Oakmark Institutional (OANMX) is an actively managed U.S. Equity Large Value fund. Oakmark launched the fund in 2016.
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. companies. It generally invests in the securities of larger 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 the company's intrinsic value.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $8 billion in total assets, which is above the $1 billion average for the Large Value category. Normally, lower assets under management translates to higher average expense ratios, and greater total assets are desired. However, for some investment categories, such as small-cap investing, it may be difficult for the manager to fully employ the desired active strategy if assets grow too large or too quickly.
OANMX Performance and Fees
The expense ratio measures how much of a fund’s assets are used for administrative expenses and operating expenses, including adviser fees and fees for the transfer agent and custodial services. The Oakmark Institutional expense ratio is above average compared to funds in the Large Value category. Oakmark Institutional has an expense ratio of 0.67%, which is 28% lower than its category average, making the fund expense ratio grade a B. While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome. Active management normally comes with higher expense ratios than passive index management. Certain investment categories such as small company and foreign also normally have higher expense ratios. It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
High portfolio turnover can translate to higher expenses and lower aftertax returns. Oakmark Institutional has a portfolio turnover rate of 63%, indicating that holds its assets around 0.0 years. By way of comparison, the average portfolio turnover is 62% for the Large Value category.
Recently, in the month of July 2026, Oakmark Institutional returned 6.2%, which earned it a grade of A, as the Large Value category had an average return of 2.9%. The letter grades of A, B, C, D and F are based upon relative rankings within the investment category. A grade of A, for example, would indicate that the return is in the highest 20% for that time period compared to all funds in that category.
Oakmark Institutional has a trailing yield of 1.08%, which is below the 1.20% category average. The fund normally distributes its income annually and its capital gains annually.
It’s natural to seek the best-performing investments, but you must consider the relationship between risk and return and the impact of costs and taxes on your realized returns.
