Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Artisan Partners is pleased to announce that its Global Value team was recently named "EAFE Equity Investment Manager of the Year" by Institutional Investor. The award is part of Institutional Investor's sixth annual U.S. Investment Management Awards, which recognizes U.S. money managers who have stood out in the eyes of the investor community for their exceptional performance, risk management and service. Winners were selected by the editorial staff of Institutional Investor magazine based on their market intelligence and on the results of a survey conducted of U.S. institutional investors.
The Global Value team is led by portfolio managers David Samra and Daniel O'Keefe, who manage the Artisan Non-U.S. Value and Global Value Strategies. This is the first time the Global Value team has been honored by the magazine, and Artisan Partners' fifth time.
Commenting on the awards, Artisan Partners CEO Eric Colson said, "It is an honor to again receive recognition from Institutional Investor magazine and institutional investors, our primary client-base. Our Global Value team's consistent application of their investment philosophy requires focus on both generating returns and managing risk. Dan and David have done an exceptional job of doing this over the long-term for our Non-U.S. Value and Global Value strategies. Recognition from a well-respected publication like Institutional Investor validates the discipline of the team's process and the long-term track record they have produced."
