Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The Oakmark Fund underperformed the S&P 500 in Q3 2025 due to an IT underweight, but continues to deploy capital into high-quality value names like Targa Resources and Union Pacific."
Executive Summary
During Q3 2025, the Oakmark Fund (OAKMX) returned 3.18%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index's return of 8.12% due to its underweight position in information technology. Financials and energy were the strongest sector contributors, while healthcare and consumer staples dragged on returns. Alphabet was the top individual contributor, supported by positive antitrust rulings and strong earnings, while Centene was the largest detractor following downgraded guidance. Portfolio changes included new purchases of Targa Resources and Union Pacific, and complete exits from BlackRock, Centene, and Kenvue.
