The Artisan International Fund aims for substantial long-term growth of your investment capital. Its strategy primarily involves investing in companies located in developed global markets. However, it maintains the flexibility to allocate up to 35% of its total assets to businesses within emerging and less-developed economies. Typically, the fund maintains a nearly fully invested position in common stocks and similar equity instruments, with a strong emphasis on international exposure; at least 65% of its net assets are dedicated to securities of non-U.S. companies.
