Data as of September 30, 2019. Sources: Artisan Partners/MSCI/Russell/ICE BoAML/S&P. Index Returns are average annual returns for the broad-based benchmark corresponding to each Artisan strategy since the inception date of the Artisan strategy. Value Added (Net of Fees) is the difference between the Artisan strategy's average annual return (net of fees) since inception and the Index Return. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Lipper Fund Rankings are based on the performance rankings of the Artisan Partners Fund managed to each respective Artisan strategy. Performance for Credit Opportunities and Thematic Long/Short strategies have been intentionally omitted.

1st Generation is Artisan U.S. Small-Cap Growth, Non-U.S. Growth, U.S. Mid-Cap Growth, U.S. Mid-Cap Value and Non-U.S. Value strategies. 2nd Generation is Artisan Value Equity, Sustainable Emerging Markets, Global Opportunities, Global Value and Global Equity strategies. 3rd Generation is Artisan High Income, Developing World, Thematic, Credit Opportunities, Global Discovery, Thematic Long/Short and Non-U.S.Small-Mid Growth strategies. Excess Returns are an estimate of the amount in dollars by which Artisan's investment strategies have outperformed or underperformed their broad-based benchmarks. Excess returns are calculated by (i) multiplying a strategy's beginning-of-month AUM by the difference between the returns (in basis points) of the strategy (gross of fees) and the broad-based benchmark for the ensuing month and (ii) summing the monthly excess returns. Market Returns includes all change in AUM not included in Client Cash Flows or Excess Returns. The allocation of assets under management by distribution channel involves the use of estimates and the exercise of judgment.

  • Incentive Compensation is primarily variable compensation paid to investment and distribution teams based on revenue-share percentages and discretionary cash incentives paid to other employees. Incentive Compensation increased in the September 2019 quarter as compared to the June 2019 quarter primarily due to an increase in revenues.
  • Equity Based Compensation Expense of $9.9 million in the September 2019 quarter is the quarterly amortization of our equity grants. The expense decreased compared to the June 2019 quarter as higher valued grants fully amortized.

Value Added compares returns of the composite to its benchmark. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance for Artisan Thematic Long/Short and Credit Opportunities Strategies has been intentionally omitted. Artisan High Income Strategy may hold loans and other security types that may not be included in the ICE BofAML US High Yield Master II Index. At times, this causes material differences in relative performance. Artisan Thematic Strategy's investments in initial public offerings (IPOs) made a material contribution to performance. IPO investments may contribute significantly to a small portfolio's return, an effect that will generally decrease as assets grow. IPO investments may be unavailable in the future.

NOTES & DISCLOSURES

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and our future performance, as well as management's current expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include: the loss of key investment professionals or senior management, adverse market or economic conditions, poor performance of our investment strategies, change in the legislative and regulatory environment in which we operate, operational or technical errors or other damage to our reputation and other factors disclosed in Artisan Partners' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors listed under the caption entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.

Investment Performance

We measure the results of our "composites", which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including pooled funds, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the results of these accounts, which represented approximately 11% of our assets under management at September 30, 2019, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Certain composites may also only reflect data of a single account managed by Artisan.

Results for any investment strategy described herein, and for different investment products managed to a strategy, are affected by numerous factors, including different material market or economic conditions; different investment management fee rates, brokerage commissions and other expenses; and the reinvestment of dividends or other earnings. Artisan High Income Strategy may hold loans and other security types that may not be included in the ICE BofAML US High Yield Master II Index. At times, this causes material differences in relative performance. Artisan Thematic Strategy's investments in initial public offerings (IPOs) made a material contribution to performance. IPO investments may contribute significantly to a small portfolio's return, an effect that will generally decrease as assets grow. IPO investments may be unavailable in the future. The current performance for each Artisan strategy may be positive or negative, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Composite returns are net of trade commissions and transaction costs, and have been presented net of management fees and performance-based fees, as applicable and unless otherwise stated. For the purpose of calculating net composite returns, fees relate to the highest model investment advisory fees applied to client accounts within the composite. Fees may be higher for certain pooled vehicles and the composite may include accounts with performance-based fees.

In these materials, we present "Value-Added", which is the amount in basis points by which the average annual gross or net composite return of each of our strategies for which we present the metric has outperformed or underperformed the broad-based market index commonly used to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. The broad-based market indexes used to compare performance for each of our strategies are as follows: Non-U.S. Growth Strategy / Non-U.S. Value Strategy-MSCI EAFE Index; Global Equity Strategy / Global Opportunities Strategy / Global Value Strategy / Global Discovery Strategy-MSCI ACWI Index; Global Small-Cap Growth Strategy (Jul 1, 2013-Dec 31, 2016)-MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index; Non-U.S.Small-Cap Growth Strategy (Jan 1, 2002-Nov 30, 2018)-MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index; Non-U.S.Small-MidGrowth-MSCI ACWI ex-USA SMID Index; U.S. Mid-Cap Growth Strategy / U.S. Mid-Cap Value Strategy-Russell Midcap® Index; U.S. Small-Cap Growth Strategy / U.S. Small-Cap Value Strategy (Jun 1, 1997-Apr 30, 2016)-Russell 2000® Index; Value Equity Strategy-Russell 1000® Index; Developing World Strategy / Sustainable Emerging Markets Strategy-MSCI Emerging Markets Index; High Income Strategy / Credit Opportunities Strategy-BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index; Thematic Strategy / Thematic Long/Short Strategy -S&P® 500 Index. Index returns do not reflect the payment of fees and expenses and are not available for direct investment.

In this document, we present information based on Morningstar, Inc., or Morningstar, ratings for series of Artisan Partners Funds, Inc. ("Artisan Funds"). The Morningstar ratings refer to the ratings by Morningstar of the share class of the respective series of Artisan Funds with the earliest inception date and are based on a 5-star scale. Morningstar data ©2019, Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Morningstar data contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. The Morningstar Rating is initially given on a fund's three-year track record and change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-,five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
