PROCESS & CURRENT INFORMATION

Process HighlightsIn-depth Philosophy & Process (PDF)

Artisan Global Opportunities Fund pursues long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. and non-U.S. growth companies benefiting from an accelerating profit cycle with franchise characteristics, that are selling at attractive valuations. The Fund’s performance is typically benchmarked against the MSCI All Country World Index^SM over a full market cycle.

Artisan Global Opportunities Fund employs a fundamental investment process to construct a diversified global equity portfolio of companies across a broad capitalization range. The investment process focuses on two distinct areas — security selection and capital allocation.

Security Selection - Artisan's Growth investment team attempts to identify companies that possess franchise characteristics that are selling at attractive valuations and benefiting from an accelerating profit cycle. The investment team looks for companies that are well positioned for long-term growth, driven by demand for their products and services, at an early enough stage in their profit cycle to benefit from the increased cash flows produced by the emerging profit cycle.

Capital Allocation - Based on their fundamental analysis of a company's profit cycle the team divides the portfolio into three parts. Garden^SM investments are small positions in the early part of their profit cycle that will warrant a more sizeable allocation once their profit cycle accelerates. Crop^SM investments are positions that are being increased to a full weight because they are moving through the strongest part of their profit cycle. Harvest^SM investments are positions that are being reduced as they near the team's estimate of full valuation or their profit cycle begins to decelerate. The investment team believes that adhering to this process increases the likelihood of delivering upside participation with downside protection.

Broad Knowledge - The team overlays security selection and capital allocation with the capability to invest opportunistically across the entire global equity spectrum. It is the team’s goal to have broad knowledge of the global economy to ensure that it is able to find growth wherever it occurs. This capability extends from the design of the team, which leverages the broad experience of the portfolio managers and the deep expertise of the analysts on the team.

The team will not invest more than 35% of portfolio assets at the time of purchase from any single country other than the U.S. There is no restriction on the size of the non-U.S. companies in which the Fund may invest. The team will not initiate a position in a U.S. company unless it has a market capitalization of at least $3 billion at the time of purchase.

Current Information

"MONTHLY COMMENTARY: Most of the major regional markets were up in April despite multiple disappointing economic releases. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its 2013 global growth outlook citing a deepening recession in Europe..."

"QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY: Our portfolio’s modest relative underperformance this quarter came amid mixed individual stock results. Several of our high conviction Crop^SM holdings performed well, but our overall portfolio had a larger number of holdings that trailed the benchmark than finished ahead of it..."

Historical NAVs
¹Net Asset Value (NAV) ²Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Source: Artisan Partners The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. The Fund's performance information shown does not reflect the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held by an investor for 90 days or less and, if reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. The Fund's performance information reflects Artisan Partners' agreement to limit the Fund's expenses and has had a material impact on the Fund's performance, which would have been lower in its absence. A mutual fund’s NAV is the value of a single share and is computed daily using closing prices as of the NYSE closing time – usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but sometimes earlier. Securities for which prices are not readily available (such as when there are significant changes in one or more U.S. market indices) are valued at a fair value under the Funds’ Valuation Procedures as described in the Funds’ prospectus. When fair value pricing is employed, the value of a portfolio security used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from (and consequently be higher or lower than) quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing is not employed by market indices. Quotations of mutual fund performance are calculated using NAV and are therefore impacted by fair value pricing.

The Morningstar Analyst Rating is a subjective evaluation performed by the mutual fund analysts of Morningstar. The Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a mutual fund. Morningstar Analyst Ratings are based on Morningstar’s current expectations about future events; therefore, in no way does Morningstar represent ratings as a guarantee nor should they be viewed by an investor as such. Morningstar Analyst Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar’s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what is described.

Prospectus | Important Fund Risks

This material is not an offer of any mutual funds mentioned other than Artisan Funds.

Important Fund Risk Disclosure

International investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid and may have underperformed securities of large companies during some periods. Growth securities may underperform other asset types during a given period. These risks are discussed in the prospectus. Please read it carefully before you invest or send money.

Expense Ratio Disclosure

Artisan Partners has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for any ordinary operating expenses in excess of 1.50% of its average daily net assets. The current contract continues through 1-Feb-14, at which time Artisan Partners will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it.

Important Index Disclosure

An investment can not be made directly into an index.

MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index is an index designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. The index is an unmanaged, market-weighted index and the returns of the index include net reinvested dividends but, unlike the Fund's returns, do not reflect the payment of sales commissions or other expenses incurred in the purchase or sale of the securities included in the index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

Market Capitalization is calculated by FactSet using the price as of the most recent month-end multiplied by the number of shares outstanding as shown in the financial statements of the issuer.

The Median Market Cap provides a measure of the market capitalization value of the companies in a portfolio. Equal numbers of companies in the portfolio have market capitalizations higher and lower than the median.

The Weighted Average Growth Rate (the annual rate at which a company's earnings is expected to grow) is the average of the 3-5 year forecasted growth rates of each company in the portfolio, weighted by the size of the company's position in the portfolio.

The Weighted Harmonic Average P/E (a measure of how expensive a stock is) is the harmonic average, which measures the price/earnings ratio of the Fund’s entire portfolio, excluding negative earners, weighted by the size of the company’s position within the portfolio. The earnings figures used for FY1 and FY2 are estimates for the current unreported fiscal year and for the next unreported fiscal year, respectively.

The Weighted Average LT Debt/Capital is the average long term debt to total capital of each company within the portfolio, weighted by the size of each stock within the portfolio.

In general, the Turnover Ratio is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year, by the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal year.

Portfolio characteristics are intended to provide a general view of the entire portfolio, or Index, at a certain point in time. Characteristics are calculated using information obtained from various data sources. Artisan Partners excludes outliers when calculating portfolio characteristics. If information is unavailable for a particular security Artisan may use data from a related security to calculate portfolio characteristics.
