About OAKBX
Oakmark Equity and Income Fund Investor Class is a balanced mutual fund designed to deliver a combination of income, capital preservation, and long-term growth. The fund primarily invests in a diversified mix of U.S. equities and fixed-income securities, aiming for stability through asset allocation. Its typical portfolio allocation ranges between 40% to 75% in stocks, including common and convertible equities, and up to 60% in high-quality bonds issued by U.S. government entities, agencies, and well-rated corporations. This moderate allocation approach targets a balanced risk profile, which is reinforced by the fund’s below-market beta, historically indicating lower volatility compared to broader equity indices.
Notable features include a quarterly income distribution, a competitive expense ratio, and a long-standing track record since its 1995 inception. The fund’s equity holdings tend to favor large, established companies, while the bond segment emphasizes credit quality and interest rate management. Oakmark Equity and Income Fund Investor Class serves as a core holding for investors seeking a disciplined, value-oriented strategy that navigates both equity and fixed income markets.
