Is It (Ever) Time for International Equities | Morningstar Investment Conference | Chicago | April 2023

What is the case for investing outside the US? Is investing in emerging markets worth the risk? Lead portfolio manager Dan O'Keefe explored these and other important topics facing investors today, in a thought-provoking panel discussion during the Morningstar Investment Conference 2023.

Daniel J. O'Keefe is a managing director of Artisan Partners and founding partner of the Artisan Partners Global Value Team. He is lead portfolio manager of the Artisan Global Value and Artisan Select Equity Strategies. The views and opinions expressed are those of the speakers as of 26 Apr 2023, and do not necessarily represent those of Artisan Partners and are subject to change without notice. While the information contained herein is believed to be reliable, there is no guarantee to the accuracy or completeness of any statement in the discussion.

Any forecasts contained herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be relied upon as advice or interpreted as a recommendation.

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. 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.
