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 Funds.

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.
