About APHIX
Artisan International Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of international equities. The fund primarily targets large-cap growth companies located outside the United States, with a significant emphasis on developed markets, particularly across Europe and the Pacific Basin, but retains the flexibility to invest in emerging markets as well. The investment strategy centers on identifying long-term secular growth trends and selecting companies with sustainable competitive advantages, superior business models, and high-quality management teams. The portfolio is actively managed, resulting in a higher turnover rate, with the investment team seeking stocks whose valuations do not fully reflect their long-term growth potential. Sector allocations are diversified, with notable exposures to financials, healthcare, industrials, and materials, while top holdings frequently include multinational leaders such as UBS Group AG, Novo Nordisk, and Linde PLC. The fund is intended for institutional investors and requires a substantial minimum investment, reinforcing its role as a core international equity holding for large portfolios seeking exposure to non-U.S. growth opportunities.
