Description

The Artisan Global Discovery Fund seeks to achieve substantial long-term capital appreciation for its investors. The fund's management team utilizes a rigorous fundamental investment process to construct a diversified portfolio. This portfolio primarily consists of growth-oriented companies located in both the United States and internationally, covering a broad spectrum of market capitalizations. The team specifically targets businesses that, in their assessment, possess strong competitive advantages (franchise characteristics), are experiencing an acceleration in their profitability, and whose shares are trading below the advisor's estimated private market value. The fund allocates its capital mainly to common stocks and other equity securities issued by domestic and foreign entities, including depositary receipts.
