Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. The Funds portfolio turnover rate in
the most recent fiscal year was 11%.
Principal Investment Strategy
Principal Style Characteristics:
International large cap value oriented stocks
The Fund
invests primarily (no less than 65% of its total assets) in common and preferred stocks of foreign companies, including those located in emerging market countries. Companies in the Funds portfolio generally have market capitalizations in
excess of $1 billion at the time of purchase.
The Subadviser uses an analysis of economic and market data, as well as its knowledge of each
countrys culture, to determine country and industry allocations. Before selecting a country for investment, the Subadviser analyzes the stability of a countrys currency and its political, social and economic culture. Subject to these
allocations, the Subadviser uses a value oriented, bottom-up approach, researching and evaluating individual companies, to select stocks for the Funds portfolio.
In selecting stocks for the Funds portfolio, the Subadviser also looks for companies with the following characteristics:
|
|
|
Businesses that the Subadviser believes offer value
|
|
|
|
Low price/earnings multiples relative to other stocks in each country/industry
|
|
|
|
Above average, long-term earnings expectation not reflected in the price
|
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in a minimum of ten countries throughout the world, focusing on companies located in Europe, the Pacific Basin and emerging industrialized countries
whose economies and political regimes appear stable.
Principal Risks
There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency. Stocks fluctuate in price and the value of your investment in the Fund may go down. This means that you could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund may not perform as well as other possible
investments. Principal risks include:
Market and Issuer risk:
Securities markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response
to adverse market, economic, political or regulatory developments, which may lower the value of securities held by the Fund, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Additionally, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the
value of a particular companys stock.

Summary Prospectus
HARBOR INTERNATIONAL FUND
Value style risk:
Over time, a value oriented investing style may go
in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Selection risk:
The Subadvisers judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular security may be incorrect.
Foreign securities risk:
Because the Fund invests primarily in securities of foreign issuers, an investment in the Fund is subject to special risks
in addition to those of U.S. securities. These risks include heightened political and economic risks, greater volatility, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Foreign securities are sometimes less liquid and harder to value than securities of U.S. issuers. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with
a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Funds foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange
control regulations. The Funds investments in foreign securities may also be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
The recent global
economic crisis brought several European governments close to bankruptcy and many other economies into recession and weakened the banking and financial sectors of many countries. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly
interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market.
Emerging market risk:
Foreign securities risks are more significant in emerging market countries, such as those in Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Basin. These countries may have
relatively unstable governments and less-established market economies than developed countries. Emerging markets may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks make emerging market securities more volatile and
less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show two aspects of the Fund: volatility and performance. The bar chart shows the volatility or variability
of the Funds annual total returns over time, and shows that Fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the Funds average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based
securities index. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks and potential rewards of investing in the Fund. The Funds past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in
the future. To obtain updated performance information please visit the Funds website at www.harborfunds.com or call 800-422-1050.
