"Oakmark Global outperformed its benchmark in Q4 2025, deploying capital into Gartner and Mondelēz on short-term market fears while exiting automotive giants GM and Mercedes-Benz."
Executive Summary
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Oakmark Global Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, across multiple periods (quarter, year, and since inception). Top sector contributors were health care and IT, while consumer staples was the sole detractor. Geographically, top contributions came from the U.S., Switzerland, and South Korea, while China, the Netherlands, and Sweden detracted. During the quarter, Samsung Electronics led performance on a strong semiconductor turnaround, while Alibaba dragged due to heavy subsidies in Quick Commerce. The fund initiated new positions in Gartner and Mondelēz International, both purchased at discounted valuations driven by temporary market headwinds, and exited holdings in General Motors and Mercedes-Benz Group.
