MILWAUKEE, March 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artisan Partners is pleased to announce that the Artisan International Value Fund received three 2024 Lipper Fund Awards. The Artisan International Value Fund, Institutional Class (APHKX), was named best fund in Lipper’s International Large-Cap Value Funds category over the three-, five- and ten-year time periods.

This is the second year in a row the Fund has swept the Lipper Fund Awards in the International Large-Cap Value category. The Fund is now one of just two funds in the category to earn the ten-year accolade multiple times since 2013.

The Fund has consistently outperformed peers, ranking in the top quartile of its Lipper category in seven of the past ten calendar years.

“We are honored and humbled to receive these Lipper Awards,” said David Samra, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Artisan International Value Fund. “These awards are a validation of our talented investment team, time-tested process, and commitment to generating wealth for our shareholders over the long term.”

The Lipper Fund Awards recognize funds for their consistently strong risk-adjusted three-, five- and ten-year performance relative to peers. Based on Lipper’s quantitative, proprietary methodology, the awards reflect a truly independent and uncompromised assessment of fund performance.

Past performance does not guarantee and is not a reliable indicator of future results. Investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown. Call 800.344.1770 for current to most recent month-end performance.

Artisan International Value Fund is available through multiple share classes, which have lower investment minimums and higher fees than the Fund’s Institutional Share Class.

The value of portfolio securities selected by the investment team may rise or fall in response to company, market, economic, political, regulatory or other news, at times greater than the market or benchmark index. 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 and less developed markets, including frontier 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.

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers.

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards are based on the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months. The fund with the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value in each eligible classification wins the LSEG Lipper Fund Award. For more information, see lipperfundawards.com.
