Inflationary pressure is being felt around the world. What are some of the driving forces and the implications for equity investors? Portfolio Manager Dan O’Keefe shares his perspective on the current investment landscape, ESG considerations, and where he is finding opportunities at the Artisan Partners Investment Forum 2022 in New York City.

This presentation represents the views and opinions of Global Value Team Portfolio Manager Dan O’Keefe as of 4 May 2022, which are based on current market conditions, will fluctuate, 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.

Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. The value of portfolio securities selected by the investment team may rise or fall in response to company, market, economic, political, regulatory or other news, at times greater than the market or benchmark index. 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. A non-diversified portfolio may invest a larger portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers and performance of a single issuer may affect overall portfolio performance greater than in a diversified portfolio. 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 or growth securities may underperform other asset types during a given period.
