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.
