A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

Artisan seeks to invest in companies within its preferred themes with sustainable growth characteristics at attractive valuations that do not fully reflect their long-term potential.<ul type="square"><li><b>Themes.</b> Artisan identifies long-term secular (as opposed to cyclical) growth trends with the objective of investing in companies that have meaningful exposure to these trends. Artisan&#8217;s fundamental analysis focuses on those industry leaders with attractive growth and valuation characteristics that will be long-term beneficiaries of any structural change and/or trend.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Sustainable Growth.</b> Artisan applies a fundamental approach to identifying the long-term, sustainable growth characteristics of potential investments. Artisan seeks high-quality companies that typically have a sustainable competitive advantage, a superior business model and a high-quality management team.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Valuation.</b> Artisan uses multiple valuation metrics to establish a target price range. Artisan assesses the relationship between its estimate of a company&#8217;s sustainable growth prospects and its current valuation.</li></ul>The Fund invests in developed markets, as well as emerging and less developed markets. Investments in emerging and less developed markets are normally limited to no more than 50% of the Fund&#8217;s total assets at market value at the time of purchase. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests no less than 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes at market value at the time of purchase in common stocks and other securities of small U.S. and non-U.S. companies. A &#8220;small&#8221; company for this purpose is one with a market capitalization of less than $4 billion at the time of the Fund&#8217;s investment. Some of these non-U.S. companies, although small by U.S. standards, might rank among the largest in their countries by market capitalization. The Fund does not invest more than 35% of its total assets at market value at the time of purchase in issuers from any single country other than the U.S. The Fund may also invest to a limited extent in equity-linked securities that provide economic exposure to a security of one or more non-U.S. companies without a direct investment in the underlying securities (called &#8220;participation certificates&#8221; in this prospectus, but may be called different names by issuers).falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

Artisan&#8217;s ability to choose suitable investments for the Fund has a significant impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Fund&#8217;s principal risks include:<ul type="square"><li><b>Stock Market Risks.</b> The value of a company&#8217;s stock may rise or fall in response to company, market, economic or other news.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Foreign Investing Risks.</b> Foreign stocks as an asset class may underperform U.S. stocks, and foreign stocks may be more volatile than U.S. stocks. Risks relating to investments in foreign securities (including, but not limited to, depositary receipts and participation certificates) include: currency exchange rate fluctuation; less available public information about the issuers of securities; less stringent regulatory standards; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; and country risks including less liquidity, high inflation rates, unfavorable economic practices; political instability and expropriation and nationalization risks.</li></ul><blockquote>The risks of foreign investments typically are greater in emerging and less developed markets. For example, political and economic structures in these less developed countries may be new and changing rapidly, which may cause instability and greater risk of loss. Their securities markets may be less developed, and securities in those markets are generally more volatile and less liquid than those in the developed markets. Emerging market countries also are more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluations, which could hurt their economies and securities markets. Certain emerging markets also may face other significant internal or external risks, including a heightened risk of war, and ethnic, religious and racial conflicts. In addition, governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth of companies in those markets. High levels of national debt tend to make such markets also heavily reliant on foreign capital and, therefore, vulnerable to capital flight.</blockquote><blockquote>Also, because foreign securities usually are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, while the Fund values its assets in U.S. dollars, the values of the Fund&#8217;s non-U.S. investments will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund usually does not hedge against possible variations in exchange rates, but, in limited circumstances, exposure to a particular currency that Artisan believes is overvalued may be hedged if the Fund has, or is initiating, positions in securities traded in that currency.</blockquote><ul type="square"><li><b>Small and Medium-Sized Company Risks.</b> Stocks of small and medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than stocks of large companies. Compared to large companies, small and medium-sized companies typically may have analyst coverage by fewer brokerage firms &#8211; meaning they may trade at prices that reflect incomplete or inaccurate information. Small companies may have a shorter history of operations, less access to financing, and a less diversified product line &#8211; making them more susceptible to market pressures and more likely to have a volatile stock price. During some periods, stocks of small and medium-sized companies, as an asset class, have underperformed the stocks of larger companies.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Growth Investing Risks.</b> Growth stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other asset types during given periods. A company may never achieve the earnings growth Artisan anticipated.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Risks of Emphasizing a Region, Sector or Industry.</b> If the Fund has invested a higher percentage of its total assets in a particular region, sector or industry, changes affecting that region, sector or industry may have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund&#8217;s overall portfolio.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Participation Certificates Risks.</b> Investing in a participation certificate subjects the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in the underlying equity security and also exposes the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the bank or broker-dealer that issues the certificate will not fulfill its contractual obligation to timely pay the Fund the amount owed under the certificate.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Impact of Actions by Other Shareholders.</b> The Fund, like all mutual funds, pools the investments of many investors. Actions by one investor or multiple investors may have an impact on the Fund and on other investors. For example, shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund&#8217;s distributions of its net income and net realized gains, if any, thereby increasing or reducing the tax burden on the Fund&#8217;s shareholders subject to income tax who receive Fund distributions.</li></ul>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaNarrative Risk Disclosure.
