Bill Nygren on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” (12.21.21)
Portfolio Manager Bill Nygren spoke about why he is finding value in the financials sector on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.”
The Oakmark family of mutual funds is an extension of Harris Associates’ value-focused approach to investing. For more about our selection of funds, visit Oakmark.com.
There is a real disconnect between news flow on public companies and the value of the underlying businesses. The overwhelming majority of discussion is based on what may happen over the next year or so to create volatility in earnings, despite over 90% of intrinsic value depending on what happens after that. This provides opportunities for long-term, value-minded investors like us.
-Tony Coniaris, CFA, Partner, Co-Chairman
At Harris Associates, ensuring you receive the right solution for your current and long-term investment objectives is our ultimate goal.

—Mike Mangan, CFA, Portfolio Manager
Since 1976, we’ve been working with wealthy individuals and families to promote tailored investment solutions.
