Artisan Partners is an investment advisor that manages a range of investment strategies across multiple asset classes. They serve as investment advisor to separately managed accounts, pooled investment vehicles, and investment companies. Artisan Partners generally does not tailor its investment management services to the individual needs of clients, but may allow limited restrictions on investments. They manage client accounts on a discretionary basis.
Artisan Partners charges a percentage of the value of the assets they manage. These fees are typically billed and paid quarterly. The specific fee rate varies depending on the investment strategy and the amount invested. The investment management fees charged by Artisan Partners may be greater than fees charged by other investment managers for similar portfolio management services. Artisan Partners negotiates other fee schedules depending on the type of account, relationship, if any, to other accounts managed by Artisan Partners, the size of the account, the level of client service required, potential growth and other factors Artisan Partners considers relevant.
