As currently permitted by regulations previously adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports are not currently being sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Funds or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports are made available online at www.artisanpartners.com/prospectus, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a Fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly with a Fund, by calling 800.344.1770 or by enrolling on the Funds’ website at www.artisanpartners.com.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with a Fund, you can call 800.344.1770 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all Funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with a Fund.

During the reporting period, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, Select Equity Fund, and Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund operated as open-end, non-diversified mutual funds. The investment objective of each Fund (except Developing World Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, High Income Fund and Value Income Fund) is to seek long-term capital growth. Developing World Fund’s and Focus Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund’s, Floating Rate Fund’s and Global Unconstrained Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation. High Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Value Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation. Each Fund has offered shares of capital stock of the classes designated Investor Shares, Advisor Shares and Institutional Shares, since the inception dates listed above, except for International Explorer Fund which only offers Advisor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares of the Funds are generally available to members of the general public. Advisor Shares of the Funds are generally available for investment only by employee benefit plans, clients of certain financial intermediaries that trade through omnibus accounts and other investors that meet the minimum investment requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for certain employee benefit plans, clients of certain financial intermediaries that trade through omnibus accounts and institutional and other investors who are able to meet the minimum investment requirements.

Each class of shares has equal rights with respect to portfolio assets and voting privileges with respect to a Fund in general. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters involving only that class. The classes of a Fund pay pro rata the costs of management of that Fund’s portfolio, including the management fee. Each class of a Fund bears the cost of its own transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements, and any other class-specific expenses, which will result in differing expenses by class. Because of the different expenses, the Advisor Shares or Institutional Shares of a Fund typically will have a lower expense ratio and correspondingly higher total return than the Investor Shares of the same Fund.

Artisan Partners Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The investment adviser for each Fund is Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (the “Adviser” or “Artisan Partners”). The Adviser is managed by its general partner, Artisan Investments GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“Artisan Holdings”). Artisan Holdings is a limited partnership organized under the laws of Delaware whose sole general partner is Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation.

Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund may make investments in securities, derivatives and other instruments, directly or through one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries. References herein to each such Fund include references to a subsidiary in respect of the Fund’s investment exposure. The allocation of the Fund’s portfolio in a subsidiary will vary over time. Each such Fund will treat a subsidiary’s assets as assets of the Fund for purposes of determining compliance with various provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to the Fund.

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds in effect during the period covered by the financial statements, which were in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

(a)Investments in Subsidiaries – Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund may make investments in securities, derivatives and other instruments, directly or through investments in Artisan Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Subsidiary Ltd. and Artisan Global Unconstrained Subsidiary Ltd., respectively, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the respective Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (each referred to herein as the “Subsidiary” or collectively the “Subsidiaries”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each Fund and its Subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of March 31, 2024, Artisan Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Subsidiary Ltd. had $2,613,523 in net assets, representing 4.53% of Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund’s net assets and Artisan Global Unconstrained Subsidiary Ltd. had $3,800,028 in net assets, representing 5.00% of Global Unconstrained Fund’s net assets.

(b)Valuation – The net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares of each class of each Fund was determined as of the close of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) each day the NYSE was open for regular session trading. For financial reporting purposes, information available subsequent to the close of NYSE trading and up to the date of the financial statements was considered in determining a fair value for investments held in each Fund and the resulting NAV presented. The NAV of each class of shares was determined by dividing the value of each Fund’s securities and other assets attributed to that class, less its liabilities attributed to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class of that Fund.

In determining each Fund’s NAV for financial reporting purposes, each equity security and exchange traded fund (“ETF”) held by the Fund traded on a securities exchange, or over-the-counter was valued at the closing price on the exchange or market designated by the Funds’ accounting agent or pricing vendor as the principal exchange (each, a “principal exchange”). The closing price provided by the pricing vendor for an exchange may differ from the price quoted elsewhere and may represent information such as last sales price, an official closing price, a closing auction price or other information, depending on exchange or market convention. Absent closing price information for an equity security from the principal exchange, the security was valued using (i) the closing price on another exchange on which the security traded (if such price was made available by a pricing vendor) or (ii) the most recent bid quotation on the principal exchange or, if such bid was not available, from a secondary exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Equity-linked securities, such as participation certificates, participation notes or access notes, are valued by referencing the underlying security if market quotations are not readily available. Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Exchange traded option contracts were valued at the mid price (average of the bid price and ask price) as provided by the pricing vendor at the close of trading on the contract’s principal exchange. Exchange traded futures contracts were valued at the settlement price as provided by the pricing vendor at the close of trading on the principal exchange. Over-the-counter derivatives (including total return swaps, over-the-counter options on total return swaps, and certain other derivatives) are valued using prices provided by the Funds’ pricing vendors. Prices obtained from independent pricing services may use various observable and unobservable inputs, including, but not limited to, information provided by broker-dealers, pricing formulas, estimates of market values obtained from data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics and/or discounted cash flow or spread curve models that might be applicable. Shares of open-end investment companies (excluding exchange traded funds) were valued at the latest net asset value reported by the investment company.

Fixed income securities, including loan participation notes, were valued at market value. Such market values were generally evaluations based on the judgment of the Funds’ pricing vendors, which may consider, among other factors, the prices at which securities actually trade, broker-dealer quotations, pricing formulas, estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics and/or discounted cash flow models that might be applicable.

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5), established requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of Section 29(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. Separately, Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. The Funds adopted a valuation policy compliant with Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4, without resulting in a material impact to the Funds. Artisan Partners was designated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

by the board of directors as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5. In its capacity as valuation designee, Artisan Partners, among other things, is responsible for establishing fair valuation methodologies and determining, in good faith, the fair value of all of the assets of the Funds for which there are no readily available market quotations. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by Artisan Partners, as valuation designee, in accordance with Procedures for Valuation of Portfolio Securities by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership and under the general oversight of Artisan Partners Funds’ board of directors. A market quotation will be considered not readily available, and a Fund may therefore use fair value pricing, if there are not quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that a Fund can access at the measurement date, and/or any such quotation is not reliable.

When fair value pricing is employed, the value of a security or asset used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security or asset. Estimates of fair value utilized by the Funds as described above could differ from the value realized on the sale of those securities or assets in the future and the differences may be material to the NAV of the applicable Fund.

(c)Taxes – No provision was made for federal income taxes or excise taxes since each Fund intends to (i) comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and (ii) distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income as well as net realized gains from the sale of investment securities. The Funds utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of Fund shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.

The Funds have analyzed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all remaining open tax years (fiscal years 2020 through 2023) and have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

As of and during the period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any material interest or penalties.

The Funds are subject to taxes imposed on foreign dividend income and realized and unrealized gains on securities traded in certain foreign countries in which the Funds invest. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been accrued based on the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Foreign taxes imposed on realized and unrealized gains was based on the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and, if applicable, was recorded on an accrual basis and is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” and “Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments”, as applicable, on the accompanying Statements of Operations. The amount of foreign tax owed, if any, is included in “Payable for foreign taxes” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is comprised of withholding taxes on foreign dividends and taxes on unrealized gains.

(d)Portfolio Transactions – For financial reporting purposes, security transactions and shareholder transactions were recorded on trade date in accordance with US GAAP. Net realized gains and losses on securities were computed on specific security lot identification.

(e)Restricted Securities – The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to restrictions on resale and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in the footnotes to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

(f)Foreign Currency Translation – Values of foreign investments, open foreign currency forward contracts, payables for foreign taxes, payables and receivables for securities transactions, dividend and reclaim receivables, other receivables and payables, and cash denominated in a foreign currency were translated into US dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of the time of determination of each Fund’s NAV on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income were translated into US dollars using the current spot market rate of exchange on the date of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates was included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

The Funds may enter into foreign currency spot contracts and foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency spot contracts are typically used to facilitate the purchase and sale of non-US securities and generally settle within three business days. Foreign currency forward contracts are typically used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks, which the Funds may face as a result of direct or indirect exposure to particular currencies (including through US dollar denominated depositary receipts and equity-linked securities). The Funds could be exposed to loss if the counterparties fail to perform under these contracts. Open foreign currency spot contracts and foreign currency forward contracts, if any, were recorded at market value and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts are presented separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and included in other assets less liabilities in the Schedules of Investments. Realized and unrealized gains and losses were reported as foreign currency related transactions and are recorded in the Statements of Operations. For tax purposes, these foreign exchange gains and losses were treated as ordinary income or loss.

Artisan Partners Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Other foreign currency related transaction gains and losses may result from currency gains and losses realized on the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign taxes accrued on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency related transactions arose from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.

(g)Depositary Receipts – Each Fund may invest in depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are typically issued by a financial institution (a “depositary”), evidencing ownership interests in a security issued by an issuer and deposited with the depositary.

(h)Equity-Linked Securities and Bond Participation Notes – Each Fund, except Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Fund, may invest in equity-linked securities. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund may invest in bond participation notes. Equity-linked securities and bond participation notes are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities. An investment in an equity-linked security or bond participation note typically entitles the holder to a return equal to the market return of the underlying security or securities. There is no off-balance sheet risk associated with the equity-linked securities or bond participation notes that the Funds purchase and, in those cases, the Funds’ potential loss is limited to the purchase price of the securities. The Funds are exposed to credit risk associated with the counterparty to the transaction.

(i)Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(j)Indemnifications – Artisan Partners Funds indemnifies its officers and directors for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to Artisan Partners Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds also enter into contracts in which the Funds agree to indemnify the other party or parties against various potential costs or liabilities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under such arrangements is unknown. As of March 31, 2024, no claim has been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Funds.

(k)When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities – Each Fund may purchase or sell when- issued and delayed delivery securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price, and no income accrues to the Fund on such securities prior to delivery date. Payment and delivery for when-issued and delayed delivery securities can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. Purchasing securities on a when issued or delayed delivery basis may involve a risk that the market price at the time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price.

(l)Unfunded Commitments – Pursuant to the terms of certain term loan agreements, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, and High Income Fund are obligated to fund term loan commitments at the borrower’s discretion. During the period, Floating Rate Fund and High Income Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which were recorded at market value. Unrealized gains and losses are presented separately on the Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2024, Floating Rate Fund had unfunded loan commitments in the amount of $83,333.

(m)Redemption Fees – Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund and High Income Fund generally impose a 2% redemption fee on the redemption or exchange of shares owned for 90 days or less. Redemption fees were recorded as a reduction in the cost of shares redeemed and had the primary effect of increasing paid-in capital. Each Fund reserves the right to waive or reduce the 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less at its discretion when the Fund believes such waiver is in the best interest of the Fund, including, but not limited to, when it determines that imposition of the redemption fee is not necessary to protect the Fund from the effects of short- term trading. During the period ended March 31, 2024, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund and High Income Fund waived the redemption fee for shares held by certain authorized agents or other Fund intermediaries and otherwise in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus.

(n)Securities Sold Short – The Funds may sell securities short or maintain a short position in anticipation of the decline in the market value of a particular security (a short sale), including securities that the Funds do not own. To complete a short sale, the Funds must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Funds are required to pay the lender any dividends or interest on the security, which accrues during the period of the loan.

In order to terminate the short sale, the Fund that borrowed the security is obligated to return the security borrowed by purchasing it at market price at the time of termination. The price of the security at termination may differ from the price at which the security was sold. The Fund will incur a loss, as a result of the short sale, if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and when the Fund terminates the short sale. This loss may be unlimited. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The gain is limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short. The amount of any economic gain will be decreased, and the amount of any economic loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividends or interest the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale.

The Funds may reinvest short sale proceeds. Because the Funds may invest the proceeds of a short sale, the effect of short selling is similar to the effect of leverage. The Funds incur expenses as a result of executing short sales.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund engaged in short sales and paid interest on securities sold short, which is included in Interest in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended March 31, 2024, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund incurred fees and expenses on short sales, which is included in other operating expenses in the Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2024, Global Unconstrained Fund had open short sale positions.

(o)Securities Lending – In order to generate incremental revenue, a Fund may participate in a securities lending program, in which securities from its portfolio may be loaned to third parties. As a matter of policy, securities loans by such Funds are made to broker-dealers or other financial institutions pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured by collateral consisting of cash or short-term debt obligations at least equal at all times to the value of the securities on loan, “marked-to-market” daily. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, include possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. If a borrower defaults, the value of the collateral may decline before a Fund can dispose of it. The borrower pays to a participating Fund an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on securities lent (known as “manufactured payments” or “substitute payments”). Manufactured payments for dividends or interest received by a participating Fund while its securities are loaned out will not be considered qualified dividend income and will have other tax implications. To the extent that a Fund makes a distribution of income received by the Fund pursuant to loans of its portfolio securities, such income will not constitute qualified dividend income to noncorporate shareholders and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. A participating Fund retains all or a portion of the interest received on investment of the cash collateral and/or receives a fee from the borrower. The Funds will typically invest cash collateral in government money market funds. A participating Fund bears the risk of any loss on the investment of the collateral; any such loss may exceed, potentially by a substantial amount, any profit to the Fund from its securities lending activities. A participating Fund may recall loaned securities on demand.

Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), currently serves as the securities lending agent for the Funds. GSAL receives as compensation for its services a portion of the amount earned by each Fund for lending securities.

Income from the securities lending program is recorded when earned or as soon as reliable information became available from the lending agent. Net income for each Fund is reflected in the Statements of Operations under “Income from securities lending.” During the period ended March 31, 2024, Global Discovery Fund, High Income Fund, International Fund, International Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Fund, and Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund participated in the securities lending program. As of March 31, 2024, High Income Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund had securities on loan.

(p)ReFlow Liquidity Program – The Funds may participate in the ReFlow Fund, LLC (“ReFlow”) liquidity program (“program”), which is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for mutual funds experiencing net redemptions of their shares. Pursuant to the program, ReFlow provides participating mutual funds (such as the Funds) with a source of cash to meet all, or a portion, of net shareholder redemptions. Following purchases of a Fund’s shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow or at other times at ReFlow’s or Artisan Partners’ discretion. For use of the ReFlow service, a Fund pays a fee to ReFlow each time it purchases Fund shares, calculated by applying to the purchase amount a fee rate determined through an automated daily auction among participating mutual funds. The current minimum fee rate is 14 basis points of the value of the Fund shares purchased by ReFlow, although a Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. ReFlow will not be subject to the Funds’ investment minimums, the redemption fee of 2% generally imposed by Artisan Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Artisan Floating Rate Fund, Artisan Global Unconstrained Fund and Artisan High Income Fund when shareholders sell or exchange shares owned for 90 days or less, or the activities described under the section titled “Inappropriate Trading” in the prospectus. ReFlow will periodically redeem its entire share position in a Fund and request that such redemption be met in-kind in accordance with Artisan Partners Funds’ policy on purchases and redemptions in-kind. During the period ended March 31, 2024, Global Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Value Fund participated in ReFlow. Fees associated with ReFlow are disclosed in other operating expenses the Statement of Operations.

(q)Other – Dividend income less foreign taxes accrued or withheld, if any, was generally recorded on the ex-dividend date. In some cases, the information was not available to the Funds on the ex-dividend date. In such cases, which may have included private placements and foreign securities, dividends were recorded, revised or canceled as soon after the ex-dividend date as reliable information became available to the Funds. Non-cash dividends related to corporate actions, if any, were included in dividend income, and generally recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Interest income was recorded on the accrual basis and included accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Distributions to shareholders were recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses attributable to the Funds were generally allocated to each Fund based on net assets. However, other expense allocation methodologies were also used, depending on the nature of the expense item. Income and expenses not specific to a particular class and realized and unrealized gains and losses were allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares. Expenses attributable to a particular Fund or class were allocated directly to that Fund or class, respectively.

The character of income and net realized gains and losses may differ in some instances for financial statement and tax purposes and may result in reclassification of permanent differences among certain capital accounts to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend and capital gain distributions.

(3)Risks:

Like all mutual funds, the Funds take investment risks and it is possible for you to lose money by investing in a Fund. Investors in each Fund should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. This section describes certain of the principal risks associated with investing in each Fund, but is not a complete list of every risk involved in investing in each Fund and the Fund may be exposed to additional risks not listed below. See the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information regarding the risks of investing in shares of the Funds. An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit, and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

The success of a Fund is dependent on such Fund’s investment team’s investment decisions, which are based, in part, on the research process employed by the Fund’s investment team. The portfolio securities selected by the investment team may decline in value or not increase in value when the market indices, including relevant benchmark indices, are rising, in which case the Fund could experience losses regardless of the performance of the market indices. To the extent an investment team considers environmental, social and governance factors in its research process, such Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities and underperform funds that do not consider environmental, social and governance factors.

Markets may perform poorly and the returns from the securities in which a Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets. Securities markets may experience periods of high volatility and reduced liquidity in response to governmental actions, intervention and/or policies, economic or market developments, or other external factors. The value of a company’s securities may rise or fall in response to company, market, economic or other news.

A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, impact Artisan Partners Funds and its service providers’ business functions and affect Fund performance. For example, the global outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), together with resulting voluntary and governmental actions, including, without limitation, mandatory business closures, public gathering limitations, restrictions on travel and quarantines, meaningfully disrupted the global economy and markets.

Foreign securities may underperform US securities and may be more volatile than US securities. Risks relating to investments in foreign securities (including, but not limited to, depositary receipts and equity-linked securities) and to securities of issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets 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.

In addition, geopolitical events adversely affect global economies and securities markets, subjecting a Fund’s investments to related risks. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, sanctions, tariffs, the imposition of exchange controls or other cross-border trade barriers and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on the US and world economies and markets generally.

Investment risks typically are greater in emerging and developing markets. For example, in addition to the risks associated with investments in any foreign country, political, legal and economic structures in these less developed countries may be new and changing rapidly, which may cause instability and greater risk of loss. The securities markets may be less developed, and securities in those markets are generally more volatile and less liquid than those in developed markets. Investing in emerging market countries may involve substantial risk due to, among other reasons, limited information; higher brokerage costs; different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; less developed legal systems and thinner trading markets as compared to those in developed countries; different clearing and settlement procedures and custodial services; and currency blockages or transfer restrictions. Emerging market countries also are more likely to experience higher 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. Such markets may also be heavily reliant on foreign capital and, therefore, vulnerable to capital flight.

The values of debt securities change in response to various factors, including, for example, market related factors, such as changes in interest rates or changes in the actual or perceived ability of an issuer to meet its obligations. In general, the value of a debt security may fall in response to increases in interest rates. Each Fund that may invest in fixed income securities may invest in debt securities without considering the maturity of the investment. The value of a security with a longer duration will generally be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar security with a shorter duration. As a result, changes in interest rates in the US and outside the US may affect each Fund’s debt investments unfavorably.

An issuer or counterparty may fail to pay its obligations to a Fund when they are due. Financial strength and solvency (or the perceived financial strength or solvency) of an issuer are the primary factors influencing credit risk. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic, social or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or other instrument of an issuer, and changes in economic, social or political conditions generally can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or other instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. The values of lower quality debt, including loans, tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Debt securities in which a Fund invests may be rated below investment grade or be unrated securities that are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Debt securities of below investment grade quality are high yield, high risk bonds, commonly known as “junk bonds.” These bonds are predominantly speculative. They are usually issued by companies without long track records of sales and earnings, or by companies with questionable credit strength. These bonds have a higher degree of default risk and may be less liquid than higher-rated bonds.

Investments in loans, including floating or adjustable rate loans, are generally subject to the same risks as investments in other types of debt obligations, including, among others, the credit risk of nonpayment of principal and interest. In addition, in many cases loans are subject to the risks associated with below investment grade securities. Floating Rate Fund and High Income Fund may invest in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions, which are subject to greater credit and liquidity risks than other types of loans. Although the loans in which a Fund invests may be secured by specific collateral, there can be no assurance that liquidation of such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of nonpayment of scheduled interest or principal, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, a Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a loan or could recover nothing of what it is owed on the loan. Uncollateralized (i.e., non-secured) loans are subject to greater risk of loss (i.e., nonpayment) in the event of default than secured loans since they do not afford a Fund recourse to collateral. Investments in loans may be difficult to value and may be illiquid, including due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Transactions in many loans settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a substantial period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or meet redemption obligations until a substantial period after the sale of the loans.

Although The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is no longer published as of June 30, 2023, LIBOR and other inter-bank lending rates and indices (together with LIBOR, the “IBORs”) are the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform. Most, but not all, LIBOR settings are now transitioned to alternative near risk-free rates (“RFRs”). It is expected that the financing arrangements entered into by a Fund will therefore likely reference an RFR as the applicable interest rate. The RFRs are conceptually and operationally different from LIBOR. For example, overnight rate RFRs may only be determinable on a “backward” looking basis and therefore are only known at the end of an interest period, whereas LIBOR was a “forward” looking rate. Moreover, certain RFRs (such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate or “SOFR” for U.S. dollar debt) are not well established in the market, and all RFRs remain novel in comparison to LIBOR. There consequently remains some uncertainty as to what the economic, accounting, commercial, tax and legal implications of the use of RFRs will be and how they will perform over significant time periods, particularly as market participants are still becoming accustomed to the use of such benchmarks. Given the relative novelty of the use of RFRs in financial markets, the exact impact of the use of the RFRs remains to be seen. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect a Fund’s investments (including in respect of its volatility, value and liquidity) and, as a result, its performance and/or NAV.

As non-diversified funds, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, Select Equity Fund, and Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund may invest a larger portion of their assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund, which means a single issuer’s performance may affect Fund performance more than if the Fund were invested in a larger number of issuers.

Operational failures, cyber-attacks or other disruptions that affect the Funds’ service providers, the Funds’ counterparties, other market participants or the issuers of securities held by the Funds may adversely affect the Funds and their shareholders, including by causing losses for the Funds or impairing Fund operations.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may involve risks different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in more traditional investments, such as stocks and bonds. Derivatives can be highly complex and may perform in ways unanticipated by Artisan Partners. For example, changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index. The skills needed to successfully execute derivative strategies may be different from those needed for other types of transactions. If a Fund incorrectly forecasts the value and/or creditworthiness of securities, currencies, interest rates, counterparties or other economic factors involved in a derivative transaction, the Fund might have been in a better position if the Fund had not entered into such derivative transaction.

In addition to the risks of an adverse change in the value of the underlying reference asset, a Fund’s use of derivatives, including, but not limited to, over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, involves the risk that the other party to the derivative contract will fail to make required payments or otherwise to comply with the terms of the contract. Derivatives transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile, and a Fund could lose more than the amount it invests, especially in unusual or extreme market conditions. Derivatives may be difficult to value and highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price.

US and non-US legislative and regulatory reforms, including those related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, have resulted in, and may in the future result in, new regulation of derivative instruments and a Fund’s use of such instruments. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in derivative transactions (for example, by making certain types of derivative instruments or transactions no longer available to the Fund) and/or increase the costs of such transactions, and a Fund may as a result be unable to execute its investment strategies in a manner Artisan Partners might otherwise choose. In connection with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a derivatives risk management program that takes into account how a Fund’s derivatives use affects its investment portfolio strategy, including whether derivatives are used to increase or decrease portfolio risks or facilitate efficient portfolio management.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund’s and Global Unconstrained Fund’s investments in debt obligations of sovereign governments may lose value due to the government entity’s unwillingness or inability to repay principal and interest when due in accordance with the terms of the debt or otherwise in a timely manner. Sovereign governments may default on their debt obligations for a number of reasons, including social, political, economic and diplomatic changes in countries issuing sovereign debt.

(4)Fair Value Measurements:

Under US GAAP for fair value measurement, accounting standards clarify the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establish a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. In accordance with this standard, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three broad levels:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risks and securities trading primarily outside the US where the applicable trading market was closed or factors were applied to prices as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining a fair value of investments and discounts for lack of marketability)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. A description of the valuation techniques for the Funds’ major classes of assets are found in Note 2(a). A description of the fair value leveling techniques are described below:

Equity securities, ETFs, investment companies, exchange traded options contracts and exchange traded futures contracts are generally categorized as Level 1. Bank loans, corporate bonds, equity-linked securities, foreign currency forward contracts, treasury bills, other derivatives, foreign equity securities in which the closing price or bid quotation are adjusted for significant events, or local market holidays or other unscheduled market closures, are generally categorized as Level 2. Securities fair valued in good faith by the valuation committee are generally categorized as Level 2 or 3, depending on the observability of the inputs utilized.

The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments by major security type, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

(5)Transfer Agent and Authorized Agent Fees:

Each Fund paid fees to, and reimbursed certain expenses of, the Funds’ transfer agent during the period. In addition, the Funds have authorized certain financial services companies, broker-dealers, banks or other authorized agents, and in some cases, other organizations designated by an authorized agent (with their designees, collectively “authorized agents”) to accept purchase, exchange and redemption orders on the Funds’ behalf. Some authorized agents charge a fee for accounting and shareholder services that the agent provided to Fund shareholders on the Fund’s behalf. Those services typically included recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts and other services. Generally, the fee was either a per account charge based on the number of accounts to which the authorized agent provided such services, or was a percentage of the average value of Fund shares held in such accounts. For Investor Shares and Advisor Shares of the Funds, each Fund paid all or a portion of such fees, which are intended to

compensate the authorized agent for its provision of services of the type that would be provided by the Funds’ transfer agent or other service providers if the shares were registered on the books of the Funds’ transfer agent. For Institutional Shares, the Funds do not pay fees to intermediaries in connection with recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts or any other services that an intermediary may provide to its clients. Artisan Partners, at its own expense, pays certain authorized agents for accounting and shareholder services (to the extent those fees are not paid by a Fund), and for distribution and marketing services performed with respect to the Funds. See the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information about authorized agents. The Funds’ expenses incurred for services provided by authorized agents are included in “Transfer agent fees” in the Statements of Operations. The table below shows the fees and expenses to the Funds’ transfer agent and the fees to authorized agents incurred by each class of each Fund during the period ended March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

(6)Derivative Transactions:

Each Fund may invest in derivatives for any purpose consistent with its investment objective and guidelines, as set forth in its then-current prospectus and statement of additional information including, without limitation, to improve expected risk-adjusted returns, to reduce exposure to certain risks, for hedging purposes and to obtain economic exposure to certain issuers.

In connection with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a derivative risk management program that takes into account how its derivatives use affects its portfolio strategy, including whether derivatives are used to increase or decrease portfolio risks or facilitate efficient portfolio management. To the extent a Fund is not a limited derivatives user (as defined in Rule 18f-4), Rule 18f-4, among other things, limits a Fund’s derivatives exposure through a value-at-risk test and requires such Funds to adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program that is reasonably designed to manage the Funds’ derivatives risks. Subject to certain conditions, Funds that are limited derivatives users are not subject to the full requirements of Rule 18f-4. In order to qualify as a limited derivatives user, a Fund’s derivatives “exposure” (as defined in Rule 18f-4) cannot exceed 10% of its net assets, excluding certain currency or interest rate derivatives used for hedging purposes in accordance with specific requirements set out in Rule 18f-4. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund and High Income Fund are full derivatives users while the remaining Funds are limited derivatives users.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Foreign currency forward contracts are contractual agreements to purchase or sell a specified currency at a specified future date (or within a specified time period) and at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts usually are entered into with banks and broker-dealers and are not exchange traded.

Forward currency transactions may involve currencies of the different countries to which a Fund may have exposure and serve as hedges against possible variations in the exchange rate between these currencies. Forward currency transactions may be used for transaction hedging and portfolio hedging involving either specific transactions or portfolio positions (including positions obtained through, among other instruments, participation certificates and depositary receipts that may be denominated in US dollars or foreign currencies). A Fund may not engage in speculative currency exchange transactions. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund, Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, and High Income Fund each used foreign currency contracts for hedging currency exposure during the period ended March 31, 2024.

At the maturity of a forward contract to deliver a particular currency, a Fund may either sell the portfolio security related to such contract and make delivery of the currency, or it may retain the security and either acquire the currency on the spot market or terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing an offsetting contract with the same currency trader obligating it to purchase on the same maturity date the same amount of the currency. Hedging activity and/or use of forward foreign currency contracts may reduce or limit the opportunity for gain and involves counterparty risk, which is the risk that the contracting party will not fulfill its contractual obligation to deliver the currency contracted for at the agreed upon price to the Fund.

Futures Transactions

Each Fund may invest in futures contracts for hedging, risk management or portfolio management purposes, including to offset changes in the value of securities held or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a particular market or instrument. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund used futures contracts for hedging, risk management or portfolio management purposes, including to offset changes in the value of securities held or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a particular market or instrument during the period ended March 31, 2024.

A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a financial instrument or money at a specified time and price. To the extent it uses futures contracts, a Fund will be required to deposit margin and other assets with its futures clearing brokers, shown as due from broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

There are risks associated with a Fund’s transactions in futures contracts, including that the success of an investment strategy may depend on the ability of the Fund’s portfolio managers to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movement in interest rates.

Options Transactions

Each Fund may purchase and write (sell) put options and call options on securities or indexes.

An option on a security (or index) is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from or sell to the seller of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. Premiums paid on options purchased and premiums received on options written, as well as the daily fluctuation in market value, are included in investments in securities, at value and written options, at value, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Focus Fund, Global Unconstrained Fund, and Value Income Fund held option contracts during the period ended March 31, 2024.

Each Fund may also enter into options on swap agreements (“swaptions”). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. A Fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions to the same extent it may make use of standard options on securities or other instruments. Swaptions are generally subject to the same risks involved in a Fund’s use of options. None of the funds invested in swaptions during the period.

If a written option expires, a Fund realizes a gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was written. If a purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the premium paid. A Fund will realize a gain from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing the option, or if it is more, the Fund will realize a loss. If the premium received from writing a closing sale transaction is more than the premium paid to purchase the option, the Fund will realize a gain, or if it is less, the Fund will realize a loss. Realized gain or loss on options purchased and options written are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net realized gain (loss) on written options, respectively, in the Statements of Operations. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

There are risks associated with a Fund investing in options contracts including significant differences between the securities markets, the currency markets, and the options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objective. During the period ended March 31, 2024, Focus Fund and Value Income Fund used options transactions to enhance alpha and minimize downside market risk. Global Unconstrained Fund used options to create investment leverage.

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund purchases a security from a bank or recognized securities dealer and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the bank or dealer at an agreed-upon price, date and market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. Although repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, a Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and dealers believed by Artisan Partners to present acceptable credit risks. Artisan Partners will review and monitor the creditworthiness of such institutions and will consider the capitalization of the institution, Artisan Partners’ prior dealings with the institution, any rating of the institution’s senior long-term debt by independent rating agencies and other relevant factors.

To the extent that the proceeds from any sale of collateral upon a default in the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Fund would suffer a loss. If the financial institution that is party to the repurchase agreement petitions for bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, there may be restrictions on the Fund’s ability to sell the collateral and the Fund could suffer a loss. However, with respect to financial institutions whose bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings are subject to the US Bankruptcy Code, each Fund intends to comply with provisions under the Bankruptcy Code that would allow it immediately to resell such collateral. Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund held repurchase agreements during the period ended March 31, 2024.

Swap Transactions

Each Fund may enter into swap agreements and other types of over-the-counter transactions such as caps, floors and collars with broker-dealers or other financial institutions for hedging or investment purposes. An example of one type of swap involves the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive cash flows, for example, an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed-rate payments. The purchase of a cap entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index or other underlying financial measure exceeds a predetermined value on a predetermined date or dates, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party selling the cap. The purchase of a floor entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index or other underlying financial measure falls or other underlying measure below a predetermined value on a predetermined date or dates, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party selling the floor. A collar combines elements of a cap and a floor.

Swaps are fair valued daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Upon entering a swap agreement, any payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent a reconciling value to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market factors. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. If a liquidation payment is received or made at the termination of the swap, it is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes to the fair value of centrally cleared swaps are recorded as Variation margin receivable or payable on centrally cleared swap agreements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are settled daily. An initial margin, typically in form of cash or qualifying highly liquid, high-quality short-term investments, is paid to the central clearing party or derivatives clearing organization when the swap contract is executed and is recorded as Due from brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements and similar transactions can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structures, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to long-or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, mortgage rates, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices, inflation rates or the volatility of an index or one or more securities. For example, if a Fund agrees to exchange payments in US dollars for payments in a non-US currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease a Fund’s exposure to US interest rates and increase its exposure to that non-US currency and interest rates.

A Fund’s ability to realize a profit from such transactions will depend on the ability of the financial institutions with which it enters into the transactions to meet their obligations to a Fund. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of the agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. If a default occurs by the other party to such transaction, a Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction, which may be limited by applicable law in the case of a counterparty’s insolvency.

Under certain circumstances, suitable transactions may not be available to a Fund, or a Fund may be unable to close out its position under such transactions at the same time, or at the same price, as if it had purchased comparable publicly traded securities. Swaps carry counterparty risks that cannot be fully anticipated. Also, because swap transactions typically involve a contract between the two parties, such swap investments can be extremely illiquid, as it is uncertain as to whether another counterparty would wish to take assignment of the rights under the swap contract at a price acceptable to a Fund.

A credit default swap on a bond is an agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that enables a Fund to buy or sell protection against a credit event related to a particular issuer. One party, acting as a protection buyer, makes periodic payments, which may be based on, among other things, a fixed or floating rate of interest, to the other party, a protection seller, in exchange for a promise by the protection seller to make a payment to the protection buyer if a negative credit event (such as a delinquent payment or default) occurs with respect to a referenced bond or group of bonds. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the default event that triggers purchase or other factors (for example, a specific default within a basket, or defaults by a particular combination of issuers within the basket, may trigger a payment obligation). As a credit protection seller in a credit default swap contract, a Fund would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty following certain negative credit events as to a specified third-party debtor, such as default by a US or non-US corporate issuer on its debt obligations. In return for its obligation, a Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments, which may be based on, among other things, a fixed or floating rate of interest, over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, a Fund would keep the stream of payments, and would have no payment obligations to the counterparty. A Fund may sell credit protection in order to earn additional income and/or to take a synthetic long position in the underlying security or basket of securities.

Each Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts as protection buyer in order to hedge against the risk of default on the debt of a particular issuer or basket of issuers or attempt to profit from a deterioration or perceived deterioration in the creditworthiness of the particular issuer(s) (also known as buying credit protection).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Each Fund may also engage in total return swaps, in which payments made by a Fund or the counterparty are based on the total return of a particular reference asset or assets (such as an equity or fixed-income security, a combination of such securities, or an index). Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Swaps carry counterparty risks that cannot be fully anticipated. Each Fund may also enter into swap agreements on futures contracts including, but not limited to, index futures contracts. Swap agreements on futures contracts are generally subject to the same risks involved in the fund’s use of futures contracts, in addition to the risks involved in the fund’s use of swap agreements. A total return swap, or a swap on a futures contract, may add leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to an underlying asset or market where the Fund does not own or take physical custody of such asset or invest directly in such market.

Many swaps are complex and often valued subjectively. Many over-the-counter derivatives are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or incorrect valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an over-the-counter derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into over-the-counter derivatives with specialized terms because the market value of those derivatives in some cases is determined in part by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. Incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in calculation of the Fund’s NAV. During the period ended March 31, 2024, Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Fund and Global Unconstrained Fund used swap transactions to create investment leverage.

Master Netting Agreements

Each Fund is a party to various master netting agreements. While the terms and conditions of these agreements may vary, all transactions under any such agreement constitute a single contractual relationship. Each party’s obligation to make any payments, deliveries or other transfers in respect of any transaction under such an agreement may be netted against the other party’s obligations under such agreement. A default by a party in performance with respect to one transaction under such an agreement would give the other party the right to terminate all transactions under such agreement and calculate one net amount owed from one party to the other.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

These fees were generally allocated to each of the Funds based on net assets, subject to a minimum allocation of $1,500 to each Fund per quarter. Additionally, each director is entitled to reimbursement of expenses related to his or her duties as a director of the Funds.

Artisan Partners Funds has adopted a deferred compensation plan for directors who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the directors under the plan, deferred amounts were invested in shares of the Funds as selected by the individual directors. Each Fund purchased shares of the Funds selected for deferral by the directors in amounts equal to their investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets were included as a component of “Other assets” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the plan did not affect the net assets of the Funds, and did not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the plan.

(d)Distribution – Shares of the Funds are offered for sale by Artisan Partners Distributors LLC (“Distributors”). Distributors is wholly owned by Artisan Holdings. All distribution expenses relating to the Funds are paid by the Adviser.

(8)Line of Credit Arrangement:

Artisan Partners Funds is party to a line of credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders, led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as lender and administrative agent that expires on June 5, 2024. Under the line of credit, each Fund can borrow an amount that would not exceed the lesser of (a) 33 1/3% of its adjusted net assets (20% for Floating Rate Fund) with adjusted net assets being total assets less total liabilities (excluding indebtedness for borrowed money) after giving effect to the borrowing, and (b) the maximum amount the Fund is permitted to borrow pursuant to applicable law, pursuant to the Fund’s prospectus limitations on indebtedness, pursuant to any vote of the shareholders of the Fund, or pursuant to any limitation on borrowings in any applicable agreement with any governmental authority or regulator or any other applicable agreement or document to which such Fund was a party; provided that the aggregate borrowings by all the Funds may not exceed $350 million. The Funds paid a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.15% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the highest of (i) the Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period commencing two business days after such day (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) plus 1.00%, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) plus 1.00% or (iii) the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) plus 1.00% . The Funds also paid an agent’s fee and arrangement fee to JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and the Funds’ and administrative agent legal expenses in connection with the line of credit, each as incurred. The fees are allocated to each Fund based on average net assets. The use of the line of credit was generally restricted to temporary borrowing for extraordinary or emergency purposes. During the period ended March 31, 2024, there were borrowings under the line of credit as follows:

The Funds’ tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. Accordingly, the table above does not include tax adjustments and reflects the aggregate book cost as of March 31, 2024.

The difference between cost of investments for financial reporting and cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security transactions (e.g., wash sale loss deferrals and passive foreign investment company transactions).

The tax characterization of ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions paid during the period ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

Ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions were determined in accordance with income tax regulations that impose treatment that is different from the treatment that would result from the application of US GAAP for such items as net short-term gains, wash sale loss deferrals, passive foreign investment company transactions, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses and qualified late year ordinary losses.

Gains on redemptions in-kind for Global Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Value Fund of approximately $200,971,000, $57,288,000 and $1,455,000, respectively, were included in net realized gain on investments in the Statements of Operations for the period ended March 31, 2024, and will not be recognized for Federal income tax purposes. These net realized gains represent permanent book/tax differences and will be reclassified to “Fund shares issued and outstanding” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2024.

In addition, the Funds may periodically record reclassifications among certain capital accounts to reflect differences between financial reporting and income tax basis distributions. The reclassifications were recorded in order to reflect the tax treatment for certain permanent differences that exist between income tax regulations and US GAAP. The reclassifications generally relate to net

operating losses, dividends in excess and utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of Fund shares. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset values of the Funds.

Permanent book and tax differences resulted in reclassifications to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) and paid-in-capital at September 30, 2023 as follows:

In order to meet certain excise tax distribution requirements, the Funds are required to measure and distribute annually, net capital gains realized during a twelve-month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a twelve-month period ending December 31. In connection with these requirements, the Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year capital losses are any net capital losses incurred between November 1 and the end of the Funds’ fiscal year, September 30, 2023. Qualified late year ordinary losses are specified losses generally incurred between January 1 and the end of the Funds’ fiscal year, September 30, 2023.

Additional tax information as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023 follows (in thousands):

(1)Net of redemption fees.

(13)Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require the Funds to tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

(14)Subsequent Events:

On April 15, 2024, shareholders of International Explorer Fund approved a change in the sub-classification of the Fund from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and the elimination of a related fundamental investment restriction.

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements and have determined there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)

 

As a shareholder of Artisan Partners Funds, you may incur transaction costs, including redemption fees, and you will incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

Actual Expenses

The first line under the name of each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the name of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line under each Fund’s name in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees and dividends/interest on securities sold short. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES ON PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS’ CLASSIFICATION

 

For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular country in this report, the Adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country as designated by its securities information vendors. However, the Adviser in its own judgment may consider an issuer to be from a country other than the country designated by the securities information vendors. A vendor’s criteria may include the identity of the jurisdiction of the issuer’s incorporation, the main equity trading market for the issuer’s securities, the geographical distribution of the issuer’s operations and the location of the issuer’s headquarters. The Adviser may also consider other criteria such as the source of a company’s revenues. Over time, country designations may change.

For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular sector and industry in this report, the Adviser assigns equity securities in accordance with the sector and industry classifications of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) developed by MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s (to the extent available) as primary sources for most Funds and FactSet (to the extent available) as a secondary source for this information. The Adviser uses the Sustainable Industry Classification System (“SICS® ”), developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”), as the primary source with respect to Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund. The Adviser assigns debt securities in accordance with the classifications developed by Bloomberg Finance L.P. In the event the Adviser’s securities information vendors do not classify a security to a particular sector or industry, or if the Adviser determines that a different classification is more appropriate, the Adviser classifies the security according to its own judgment, using other securities information vendors, the company description and/or other publicly available information. Sector and industry classifications may change over time.

The names of portfolio securities reflected in this report are as reported by the Funds’ data providers, may not represent the legal name of the entity and, in some cases, are translations of non-English names.

Definition of Portfolio Statistic

Market Capitalization is the aggregate value of all of a company’s outstanding equity securities.
