## Business segments

Artisan Partners reports one operating segment: its investment-management business. It does not report separate operating segments or segment-level revenue or operating income by investment team, strategy, asset class, or geography. Its disclosed teams and asset-class groupings are alternative views of the business, not reportable segments. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P145412556)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P145412587)[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P19328906)

As of June 30, 2026, 12 autonomous teams managed 27 strategies. Measured by ending AUM, the teams’ approximate shares of total AUM were: International Value Group 31.8%, Global Value 21.8%, Growth 16.2%, Global Equity 9.2%, Credit 9.0%, EMsights Capital Group 2.9%, International Small-Mid 2.3%, Sustainable Emerging Markets 1.9%, Developing World 1.8%, Antero Peak Group 1.5%, U.S. Value 1.0%, and Grandview 0.5%. These percentages are calculated from reported team AUM and are not revenue or operating-segment contributions. [20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P145412565)[13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T16633965)

Another reported classification is asset class. At FY2025 year-end, Equity represented approximately 87.8% of AUM, Credit 9.9%, and Alternative 2.2%. For FY2025, investment advisory fees from Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds were about 62% of the combined fees from those vehicles and Separate Accounts and Other; Separate Accounts and Other contributed about 38%. These are AUM and vehicle classifications, respectively, rather than reportable segments. [21](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T10266300)[22](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T10025193)

## Company history

Artisan Partners was founded in 1994 by Andy and Carlene Ziegler. It began launching investment strategies in 1995, including small-cap and international equity funds, and expanded into mid-cap and international value investing in 1997 and 2002, respectively. [23](https://www.artisanpartners.com/about-us/overview.html)

The firm continued adding strategies, including Global Opportunities in 2007. Eric Colson became CEO of Artisan Partners in 2010; in March 2011, he became CEO of Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. [24](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P40580964)[25](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P100724203)

Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. completed its initial public offering and related reorganization on March 12, 2013. In subsequent years, the firm expanded into high-income credit investing in 2014 and developing-world strategies in 2015.
