Artisan International Value Fund Investor Class (ARTKX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc., focusing on value-oriented equity investments in non-U.S. companies. The fund invests no less than 80% of its total assets in common stocks and other securities of foreign companies, primarily in developed markets with exposure to emerging and less developed markets; it employs a bottom-up, individual company-focused process rather than country or regional selection. Investor shares carry an expense ratio of 1.25%, with portfolio management led by N. David Samra of the International Value Group.
Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc., founded in 1994 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serves as the adviser, offering a broad range of high value-added investment strategies across equity, fixed income, and alternative asset classes to sophisticated institutional and individual clients worldwide. The firm operates globally with offices in the United States (including Atlanta, New York City, San Francisco, and Leawood), the United Kingdom (London), Ireland (Dublin), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney; it manages approximately $182.6 billion in assets through autonomous investment teams.
In a significant strategic expansion during 2025, Artisan Partners announced the acquisition of Grandview Property Partners on November 18, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, marking its entry into private real estate with a focus on industrial, residential, and powered-land themes; this move diversifies its offerings beyond public markets into alternatives and is projected to be mildly accretive to earnings per share.
