- Artisan Global Value Fund Institutional Class (APHGX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks maximum long-term capital growth by investing primarily in undervalued global equities; the fund employs a fundamental investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities of high-quality U.S. and non-U.S. companies with strong balance sheets, durable competitive advantages, robust free cash flow, high returns on capital, and shareholder-oriented management teams. It focuses on large-cap value stocks across sectors such as financial services (33.21%), healthcare (14.30%), and communication services (11.44%), with allocations to non-U.S. stocks (47.91%), U.S. stocks (46.80%), and cash (5.29%); top holdings include Alphabet Inc. (5.20%), Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (4.71%), Charles Schwab Corp. (4.71%), and Heidelberg Materials AG (4.60%). The Institutional Class shares, with a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000 and a net expense ratio of 1.03%, are available to U.S. institutional investors through Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc., the fund's investment adviser.
The fund, domiciled in the United States and launched on July 17, 2012, is managed by Daniel O'Keefe (since December 10, 2007) and Michael McKinnon (since October 1, 2018), overseeing total net assets of approximately $2.77 billion, including $2.07 billion in the Institutional Class share. Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc., founded in 1994 and headquartered at 875 East Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, provides a broad range of active investment strategies across equity, fixed income, and alternative asset classes to institutional and individual clients globally through offices in the U.S., London, and other locations.
In recent developments, Artisan Partners announced on November 18, 2025, its agreement to acquire Grandview Property Partners, expanding into private real estate with three discretionary closed-end draw-down funds and a co-investment program; the transaction, expected to close in Q1 2026, will allow Grandview to maintain investment autonomy while leveraging Artisan's platform and is projected to be mildly accretive to earnings per share. This strategic move aligns with Artisan's diversification into alternative investments amid approximately $182.6 billion in firmwide assets under management as of late 2025, supporting enhanced long-term value creation across client portfolios. The firm continues to emphasize autonomous investment teams and global distribution for strategies like APHGX, targeting sophisticated investors with institutional-like horizons.
