2020 Annual Report

Artisan Partners' investment teams have added significant long-term value, after fees.

Artisan Strategies Versus Their Benchmark Indices ($mn)

A hypothetical portfolio consisting of $1 million invested at the inception of each of our strategies that has been marketed to clients would have grown from $22 million to approximately $123 million at December 31, 2020, after fees. That is $54 million (or 78.8%) more than a portfolio consisting of each strategy’s corresponding passive index.

Data as of and through December 31, 2020. Sources: Artisan Partners/MSCI/Russell/ICE BofA/S&P. Calculation is based on investing $1 million in each Artisan composite historically marketed to investors and its respective market index for the period since the composite's inception. An investment cannot be made directly in an Artisan composite or a market index and the aggregated results are hypothetical. Past performance is not indicative of future results. See Disclosures for more information about how we calculate our investment performance and the benchmarks used.

Rolling 5-Year Performance

Net of fees, Artisan Partners' investment strategies have outperformed their benchmark indices in the majority of rolling 5-year periods, demonstrating that our investment teams have added value across multiple market environments.

Chart: Artisan Strategies Versus Their Benchmark Indices

Data as of and through December 31, 2020. Sources: Artisan Partners/MSCI/Russell/ICE BofA/S&P. Percent of periods outperformed is the percentage of total rolling 5-year periods in which the Artisan composite, net of fees, outperformed its respective market index. The performance over rolling periods is based on monthly returns for each Artisan composite that has completed a 5-year return period. Artisan U.S. Small-Cap Value, which reorganized into Artisan U.S. Mid-Cap Value in May 2016, outperformed its market index in 77% of the 168 rolling 5-year periods during its existence. The Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Cap Growth composite, which terminated on November 30, 2018, outperformed its market index in 77% of the 144 rolling 5-year periods during its existence. Past performance is not indicative of future results. See Disclosures for more information about how we calculate our investment performance and the benchmarks used.
