Artisan International Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”)

SUPPLEMENT DATED 14 NOVEMBER 2018

TO THE FUND’S PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

CURRENT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF

Effective 1 December 2018, the sections entitled “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” and “Expense Example” on page 38 of Artisan Partners Funds’ prospectus are replaced in their entirety with the following:

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table and example do not reflect any transaction fees or commissions that may be charged by a shareholder’s financial intermediary when buying or selling shares.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

	Investor			Institutional
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)		None			None
Exchange Fee		None			None
Redemption Fee		None			None
Annual Fund Operating Expenses1 (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
	Investor			Institutional
Management Fees		1.05	%		1.05	%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees		None			None
Other Expenses		0.32			0.12
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.37			1.17
Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement2		0.00			0.00
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement		1.37			1.17

¹ The Fund’s operating expenses have been restated to reflect a reduction in management fees, effective as of 1 December 2018.

²  Artisan Partners Limited Partnership, the Fund’s investment adviser (“Artisan Partners”), has contractually agreed to bear certain expenses and waive its management fees to the extent necessary to cause total annual fund operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs such as dividends on securities sold short, and extraordinary charges such as litigation costs, but including management fees paid to Artisan Partners) not to exceed 1.50% of the average daily net assets of Investor Shares and 1.35% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares. This contract continues through 31 January 2020.

Expense Example

The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement in the first year and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year			3 Years			5 Years			10 Years
Investor		$	139		$	434		$	750		$	1,646
Institutional		$	119		$	372		$	644		$	1,420
