Investment Risks: Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. 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. Value securities may underperform other asset types during a given period.

Morningstar: Established in 1988, the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year award recognizes portfolio managers who demonstrate excellent investment skill and the courage to differ from the consensus to benefit investors. To qualify for the award, managers’ funds must have not only posted impressive returns for the year, but the managers also must have a record of delivering outstanding long-term risk-adjusted performance and of aligning their interests with shareholders’. Beginning in 2012, nominated funds must be Morningstar Medalists—a fund that has garnered a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Gold, Silver or Bronze. The Fund Manager of the Year award winners are chosen based on Morningstar’s proprietary research and in-depth qualitative evaluation by its manager research analysts.

The Artisan Global Value Fund was named a recipient of the 2023 Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) award for Best International Stock Funds. Each winning fund has beat its benchmark for the past one, three, five and ten years. For 2023, IBD compared the returns of 635 international stock funds that have been around for at least 10 years and found that 66 beat the benchmark— the MSCI EAFE Index — in those four periods. In determining award winners, IBD’s analysis uses Morningstar data for each fund’s historical risk-adjusted return compared to the MSCI EAFE index as of 31 December 2022. The index is unmanaged; includes net reinvested dividends; does not reflect fees or expenses; and is not available for direct investment. Past performance does not guarantee and is not a reliable indicator of future results.
