About ARHBX
Artisan International Explorer Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on long-term capital growth through investment in small-cap companies outside the United States. The fund's strategy centers on identifying high-quality, undervalued businesses with strong cash flows and high returns on capital, primarily investing in non-U.S. equities with market capitalizations under $5 billion. With a strong emphasis on fundamental analysis, the fund constructs a diversified portfolio across various sectors, including significant allocations to information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials. Geographically, its holdings are predominantly in Europe, with notable exposure to the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and also significant allocations to the Pacific Basin and selected emerging markets. The fund seeks to deliver shareholder value through a disciplined, research-intensive process and is benchmarked against the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small Cap Index. Geared toward institutional investors, it maintains a relatively concentrated portfolio and is designed to serve as an international small/mid-cap exposure within broader asset allocation strategies.
