As a customized solution with a focus on capital preservation and long-term growth, these portfolios are built to your specific objectives and preferences regarding risk tolerance, current income, liquidity, time horizon and any other considerations you might require. Portfolios will typically hold 15 to 40 stocks and individual bonds, where appropriate.
While each client’s goals may differ, our disciplined, research-based, and value-oriented approach to investing remains the same. As with all our strategies, the Private Client Equity strategy invests in what we see as substantially underpriced companies with strong business fundamentals and proven shareholder-oriented management teams.
Our Private Client Balanced strategy utilizes the same approach to stock selection as our Private Client Equity strategy, but it will also purchase fixed-income instruments (typically Treasury, agency, municipal and/or corporate securities) based on the client’s income, liquidity, and risk preferences. We utilize our value-based research process to identify corporate debt issues that we believe the market underrates. We typically invest in fixed-income holdings of very high quality with short- to intermediate-term maturities.
Our Private Client Advisor Strategy is only available to Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs). This strategy is a way for RIAs to offer separately managed accounts (SMAs) to their clients using our disciplined value approach. These accounts are managed with the same process as our Private Client Equity and Private Client Balanced strategies but with a different fee structure and minimum account size. This strategy is structured so that all portfolios will look identical to one another.
You can expect to receive the highest level of care from our experienced and responsive client service team as we help you pursue your investment goals. You will work with the same Portfolio Manager and Portfolio Associate to ensure there is consistency and familiarity with your unique circumstances. We will also collaborate with your other advisors. Our team regularly communicates or interacts with our clients’ accountants and attorneys to discuss taxation, estate planning, charitable giving, and any other issues that could potentially influence the way we manage the portfolio. Harris Associates L.P. does not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult with a tax or legal professional prior to making any investment decisions.

Beta is a measure of the magnitude of a portfolio's past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market index). The market, or index, is assigned a beta of 1.00. A portfolio with a beta of greater than 1 would generally see its share price rise or fall by more than the market, while a portfolio with a beta of less than 1 would have less share price volatility than the market. The beta presented is since the inception of each strategy with the exception of International Small Cap, which shows 10-year beta versus the benchmark.

The standard deviation presented is since the inception of the strategy.
