We pursue investment solutions that are aligned with sustainable, global trends. We hire and develop talent that has an entrepreneurial mindset similar to ours. Talent retention and firm evolution require THOUGHTFUL GROWTH.Ī lack of growth or growth for growth's sake can make a business unattractive to investment talent and clients and lead to unintentional outcomes. We believe the combination of our equity ownership structure and a fair and transparent compensation system across our investment teams creates stability in our firm. We have also established consistency in our incentive model across our investment teams. Equity ownership encourages our investment teams to emphasize long-term results, which aligns with the investing goals of our clients. We align the interests of our investment professionals with clients through our equity ownership structure. Poor alignment, lack of fairness and opacity can destroy a relationship.

Long-term relationships begin with INTEREST ALIGNMENT. This model maximizes the time our investment teams spend on investment decisions. We have a business management team in place, which is distinct from our investment teams, and dedicated marketing and client service teams to oversee the numerous operational, legal and client service aspects of our business. It is our goal to create as much time as possible for our investment teams to focus on their unique investment processes. The operational complexities of a highly regulated, global investment organization along with internal and external communication demands have the potential to distract from the investment process. Time is the most important asset to INVESTMENT FOCUS. We believe team autonomy and investment freedom retain the purity of each team's investment process and amplify the creative perspectives that lead to value creation. Our investment teams operate autonomously and have the freedom to take investment risk in the context of a well-defined process. We do not want to dilute results or create commonalities in performance. Value-added investment decisions stem from CREATIVE PERSPECTIVES.īureaucracy, committees and benchmark constraints can quickly stifle the creative perspectives that are essential to producing value-added results. At Artisan Partners we believe strongly in our investment culture and share a commitment to the values that make our culture distinctive.
