PROCESS & CURRENT INFORMATION
Process HighlightsIn-depth Philosophy & Process (PDF)
Lipper2013 VGX Artisan Global Value Fund pursues long-term capital growth by investing in undervalued, U.S. and non-U.S. companies with market capitalizations of at least $2 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund’s performance is typically benchmarked against the MSCI All Country World IndexSM.

Artisan Global Value Fund employs a bottom-up investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of securities of undervalued U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Fund's investment process is focused on identifying what Artisan’s Global Value Team considers to be high quality, undervalued businesses that offer the potential for superior risk/reward outcomes.

The team's in-depth research process focuses on four key investment characteristics:
Undervaluation - Determining the intrinsic value of the business is the heart of the team's research process. As long-term investors, it is the team's core belief that valuation is the most crucial determinant of stock market return over the long term.

Business Quality - The team seeks to invest in companies with histories of generating strong free cash flow, improving returns on capital and strong competitive positions in their industries. This criteria helps rule out businesses that are statistically cheap, but whose values are deteriorating over time.

Financial Strength - The team believes that investing in companies with strong balance sheets helps to reduce the potential for capital risk and provides company management the ability to build value when attractive opportunities are available.

Shareholder-Oriented Management - The team's research process attempts to identify management teams with a history of building value for shareholders.


The Fund typically holds between 30 and 50 stocks. The team may invest up to 30% of Fund’s net assets at market value at time of purchase in emerging markets. The maximum position size is 5% of the Fund’s total assets at the time of purchase in 75% of the portfolio, but in the remaining 25% of the portfolio the team can invest up to 10% of Fund’s net assets at the time of purchase in a single position.
Current Information

"MONTHLY COMMENTARY: Markets continue to respond to a generally beneficial environment for liquid securities. Finding new securities with a risk/reward balance that is highly favorable remains a challenge..."

"QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY: Equity markets continued their record rise from the dark days of 2008 and 2009. The agony of daily record lows in 2009 has now been supplanted in our collective consciousness by the enthusiasm of new highs. Those of us who are instinctively cautious in the face of such enthusiasm cannot help but feel less sanguine..."

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.

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 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 Global Value Fund's gross expense ratio is 1.53%. 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

Totals may not sum due to rounding.

The Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and is licensed for use by Artisan Partners. Neither MSCI, S&P nor any third party involved in making or compiling the GICS or any GICS classifications makes any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to such standard or classification (or the results to be obtained by the use thereof), and all such parties hereby expressly disclaim all warranties of originality, accuracy, completeness, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any of such standard or classification.

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 Weighted Average Market Cap is the average of the market capitalizations of the companies in the portfolio weighted by the size of each company's position within the portfolio. Market capitalization is the aggregate value of all of a company's outstanding equity securities.

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 Median Price/Book Value measures the median ratio of portfolio stock prices to each stock's book value of equity per share (book value is a company's assets minus its liabilities).

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. Data believed to be inaccurate may be excluded from the price/earnings calculations.

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.
