6 January 2015

San Francisco, California. Artisan Partners today announced that David Geisler, portfolio co-manager for the Artisan Global Small Cap Fund, has left Artisan Partners. Mark Yockey and Charles-Henri Hamker will continue as portfolio co-managers for the Artisan Global Small Cap Fund, which they have been since the Fund was launched June 2013.

Mr. Yockey joined Artisan Partners in 1995 and is the founder of the Artisan Partners Global Equity team. He is portfolio manager for the Artisan International, Artisan International Small Cap, Artisan Global Equity and Artisan Global Small Cap Funds. Mr. Hamker joined the Artisan Partners Global Equity Team in 2000 and is portfolio manager for the Artisan International Small Cap, Global Equity and Global Small Cap Funds.

Mr. Yockey and Mr. Hamker have worked together on the Artisan International Small Cap Fund since it was launched in December 2001. The launch of the Global Small Cap Fund in 2013 was a natural extension of their international small-cap research. Mr. Yockey and Mr. Hamker will continue to manage the Global Small Cap Fund with the same investment philosophy and process the team has employed since 1995.
