Win Murray and Tony Coniaris will join long-time Oakmark Select portfolio manager Bill Nygren at the helm of the Fund effective January 28th. Mr. Nygren has been a manager of Oakmark Select since its inception in 1996 and co-managed the Fund with Henry Berghoef from 2000 until Mr. Berghoef’s retirement in July 2012.
"While I expect to be at Oakmark for many more years, we need to think about succession for the funds, and we are fortunate to have so much talent at Harris Associates," says Mr. Nygren. "Win and Tony are both younger than I am, and bringing them in as co-managers now will ensure investment continuity for Select far into the future. They have both had successful careers at Harris Associates, so the investment role is nothing new to them, and they are both already up to speed on the Oakmark Select portfolio."
