Morningstar’s Take
by Greg Carlson 10-16-14
The founder of Artisan Global Opportunities’ team has
reduced his role, but the fund remains on solid ground.
On Sept. 30, 2014, comanager Andy Stephens, the
sole manager of this team’s largest charge (Artisan
Mid Cap ARTMX, which is closed to new investors)
since its 1997 inception, relinquished his portfolio
manager title on all of the team’s funds (which also
includes the closed Artisan Small Cap ARTSX). He will
focus on research and mentoring newer analysts. Fund
performance issues or conflicts did not influence
Stephens’ decision; he wanted to take a step back,
according to Artisan. Furthermore, he’s expected to
stick around: Artisan portfolio managers must give
three years’ notice before retiring, and Stephens (who
is still bound by the rule) hasn’t given such notice.
Despite the loss of Stephens as a manager, the
team--which has generated fine results at all three
funds--still inspires a great deal of confidence. The
fund retains its Silver Morningstar Analyst Rating. Jim
Hamel, this fund s lead manager since its 2008
inception (and comanager of Artisan Mid Cap since
2006), joined the team at its 1997 founding as an
analyst and has gradually taken over the team as
Stephens has stepped back. Matt Kamm, now the lead
on Artisan Mid Cap, joined the team in 2003. Craigh
Cepukenas, the lead on Artisan Small Cap, joined
Artisan in 1995 when Artisan Small Cap was launched
and this team in 2009 when that fund was added to
this fund’s responsibilities. The team includes
associate manager Jason White and eight analysts.
The fund’s performance has been strong and
consistent; from its September 2008 inception through
Oct. 10, 2014, it has surpassed 94% of its world-stock
peers, as well as its MSCI ACWI benchmark. The fund
started out as a large-growth vehicle but moved to
world stock in 2012 because of a steadily increasing
stake in foreign stocks as the team grew more
comfortable with a hefty non-U.S. stake (which is
expected to remain above 30% of assets), in part by
hiring more analysts with experience in such equities.
The team’s thoughtful approach to this transition
bolsters our confidence in the fund.
