Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $168.7 billion as of September 30, 2026. The figure represents the firm's total managed assets across all investment strategies and vehicles.

The firm disclosed that Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds accounted for $90.2 billion of the total AUM. Separate accounts and other AUM contributed the remaining $78.5 billion. These separate accounts include traditional separate accounts, Artisan-branded collective investment trusts, and private funds.

Strategy Breakdown

The International Value Group continued to dominate the firm's asset base. The International Value strategy alone held $54.995 billion, representing a significant portion of the total AUM. The Global Value Team followed with $32.185 billion in Global Value assets.

What the Numbers Show

A concentration analysis reveals that the top three strategies by AUM (International Value, Global Value, and High Income) collectively manage approximately $101.3 billion. This indicates that nearly 60% of the firm's total AUM is concentrated in just three specific investment mandates. The International Value strategy alone accounts for roughly 32% of the firm's total assets, highlighting a heavy dependency on this single product line for scale.

Other Key Metrics

The Growth Team reported combined AUM of $26.295 billion across its five strategies, led by Global Opportunities at $11.932 billion and U.S. Mid-Cap Growth at $8.878 billion. The Credit Team managed $16.377 billion in total, with High Income contributing the bulk at $14.107 billion.

Emerging market exposure included the Sustainable Emerging Markets Team with $3.857 billion and the Developing World Team with $3.107 billion. The EMsights Capital Group oversaw $6.274 billion across three debt-focused strategies.

Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $183.5 billion as of August 31, 2026. The Milwaukee-based firm disclosed that a long-standing sub-advisory client is diversifying its mandate, which will trigger a $6 billion rebalancing from the Global Value strategy in September 2026.

The shift moves the client from a single-manager to a multi-manager structure. Artisan will remain one of three managers under the new arrangement. The company stated that the anticipated impact on revenues will be less than the corresponding reduction in AUM, given the specific fee structure associated with this mandate.

AUM Composition by Strategy

Total firm AUM was split between Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds, which accounted for $94.5 billion, and separate accounts and other AUM, which held $89.0 billion. Separate account and other AUM includes assets managed in traditional separate accounts, Artisan-branded collective investment trusts, and private funds.

The breakdown of AUM by investment team and strategy as of August 31, 2026, is detailed below:

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a heavy concentration in value-oriented strategies. The International Value strategy alone holds $58.2 billion, representing approximately 31% of total firm AUM. When combined with the Global Value strategy ($39.96 billion), these two strategies account for nearly half of the firm's total assets. This concentration highlights the significant exposure to the upcoming $6 billion rebalancing, which specifically targets the Global Value strategy.

Additionally, the Credit Team manages $16.79 billion across four strategies, with the High Income strategy comprising the vast majority ($14.48 billion). This indicates that while equity strategies dominate the top line, credit represents a substantial and diversified asset class within the portfolio.
