This material represents the views and opinions of the portfolio management team of Artisan Value Equity, U.S. Mid-Cap Value and Value Income Strategies which are subject to change without notice. This material is provided for informational purposes without regard to your particular investment needs.

Dividend payments are not guaranteed and the amount declared, if any, could vary over time. International investments involve special risks that may in particular cause a loss in principal, 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. Value securities may underperform other asset types during a given period. Investments will rise and fall with market fluctuations and investor capital is at risk. Investors investing in strategies denominated in non-local currency should be aware of the risk of currency exchange fluctuations that may cause a loss of principal. These risks, among others, are further described in Artisan Partners Form ADV, which is available upon request.
