**Investment Objective**

The Fund seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. **The table and expense 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)**

| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and <br> Expense Reimbursement<br>|  | 1.64 |  | 1.54 |  | 1.49 |

---

<sup>1</sup> "Total Other Expenses", "Other Operating Expenses" and "Interest Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

<sup>2</sup> "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" shown are estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and are indirect expenses the Fund incurred from the Fund's investment in one or more money market funds (acquired funds). To the extent that the Fund invests in acquired funds, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement in the table above may not match the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the "Financial Highlights" in the Fund's prospectus, since the Financial Highlights reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include fees and expenses of acquired funds.

------

<sup>3</sup> 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 1.45% of the average daily net assets of Investor Shares, 1.35% of the average daily net assets of Advisor Shares and 1.30% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares. This contract continues through 31 January 2024.

**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 | $167 | $1100 | $2042 | $4441 |
| Advisor | $157 | $656 | $1182 | $2624 |
| Institutional | $152 | $532 | $937 | $2071 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the period from the Fund's inception on 31 March 2022 through 30 September 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 40.30% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund's investment team employs a fundamental investment process to construct a differentiated portfolio of securities, derivatives and other instruments that offer long and short exposures around the world. The team seeks to identify countries that are undergoing or poised for strong economic growth or structural changes, such as political, legislative and/or economic reforms. The team seeks to invest in corporate and sovereign debt instruments that offer exposures to those countries at attractive absolute and relative credit risk premium. As part of the investment process, the team considers financially material environmental, social and governance factors alongside other fundamental research.

The Fund primarily invests in debt securities and instruments with similar economic characteristics. The Fund may have significant investment in a particular geographic region or country and typically a portion will be invested in emerging market countries. The Fund may invest without limit in securities and other instruments of US and non-US issuers, including issuers economically tied to emerging market countries, securities traded principally outside the United States, and securities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a more limited number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund may invest in debt instruments of all types, including, without limitation, sovereign issues, treasury obligations, bonds, loans, commercial paper, credit linked notes, covered bonds, convertible bonds and other fixed-, variable- and floating-rate securities that are either secured or unsecured, and, either senior or subordinated. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in debt instruments of any credit rating, including instruments that are rated below investment grade (below BBB- by Standard & Poor's Rating Service or Fitch, Inc. or below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or unrated but determined by Artisan Partners to be of comparable quality, commonly known as "junk bonds." The Fund may invest in debt instruments that are non-performing at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity. The Fund's investments are not subject to any restrictions with respect to duration.

The Fund expects to achieve certain exposures primarily through derivative transactions. These derivatives include, without limitation, forward foreign currency exchange contracts; futures on securities, indices, currencies, commodities, swaps and other investments; options; and swaps, including interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps, which may have the effect of creating investment leverage. The Fund may use derivatives to seek to enhance total return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates, to change the effective duration of its portfolio, to manage certain investment risks, for speculation purposes to gain certain types of exposures and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities, currencies or commodities. The Fund may also utilize derivatives to take short positions in underlying assets and non-USD currencies to hedge certain risk factors. The Fund intends to use all or a portion of the proceeds from its short positions to take additional long positions or otherwise use in a manner consistent with its investment guidelines. The Fund's use of derivatives is frequently extensive.

The Fund expects to hold US Treasury, government agency securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (and derivatives thereon), and stripped securities to use as collateral for its derivatives positions and to help manage duration. The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and forward commitments, and may engage a substantial portion of its assets in short sales.

**Summary Prospectus**—Artisan Partners Funds

------

The Fund may also invest in equity securities and exchange-traded funds. The Fund may invest in private placements and other restricted securities (i.e., securities that are purchased in private placements and, accordingly, are subject to restrictions on resale as matter of contract or under federal securities laws).

The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or Regulation S securities primarily through investments in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary.

The Fund may borrow up to the amount allowed by applicable law to enhance total return, fund redemptions, post collateral for hedges, or to purchase investments prior to settlement of pending sale transactions.

**Principal Risks**

Like all mutual funds, the Fund takes investment risks and it is possible for you to lose money by investing in the Fund. Investors in the Fund should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. The Fund's principal risks include:

<sup>◾</sup>

**Market Risks**—Markets may perform poorly and the securities in which the Fund invests may underperform 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, political, regulatory or other news.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Active Management Risks**—The success of the Fund is dependent on the team's investment decisions, which are based, in part, on the research process employed by the team. The portfolio securities selected by the 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. When the team considers environmental, social and governance factors in its research process, the Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities and underperform funds that do not consider environmental, social and governance factors.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Geopolitical Risks**—Geopolitical events adversely affect global economies and securities markets, subjecting the 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. For example, the US has in the past imposed economic sanctions on certain countries, which may consist of asset freezes, restrictions on dealings in debt and equity, and certain industry-specific restrictions. Sanctions impair the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities and/or assets that are subject to the sanctions. Military action by Russia in Ukraine has led to, and may lead to additional, sanctions being levied by the US, European Union and other countries against Russia. These events could adversely affect global markets and, therefore, could affect the value of the Fund's investments, including beyond the Fund's direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Foreign Investing Risks**—Foreign securities may underperform US securities and may be more volatile than US securities. Risks relating to investments in foreign 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.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Emerging and Developing Markets Risks**—Investment risks typically are greater in emerging and less developed markets, including "frontier markets", which are a subset of emerging markets and less developed markets that, generally, have smaller economies and less mature capital 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. Their securities markets may be less developed, and securities in those markets are generally more volatile and less liquid than those in the 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 high 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 or ethnic, religious or 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. Such risks may be greater in frontier markets.

*China-Related Risks:* Because the Fund may have a significant exposure to China, it is particularly affected by events or factors relating to China, which may increase risk and volatility.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Debt Securities Risks**—The value of a debt security changes 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

\|

------

**Summary Prospectus**—Artisan Partners Funds

------

debt security will fall in response to increases in interest rates. The Fund may invest in debt securities without considering the maturity of the instrument. The value of a security with a longer duration will 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 the Fund's debt investments unfavorably.

Debt securities in which the Fund invests may be rated below investment grade or unrated securities that are determined by Artisan Partners 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, may be less liquid and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated bonds.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Currency Risks**—Foreign securities usually are denominated and traded in foreign currencies and the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the US dollar fluctuate continuously. The Fund's performance will be affected by its direct or indirect exposure to a particular currency due to favorable or unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates relative to the US dollar. The Fund's direct or indirect exposure to a particular currency may be hedged to mitigate currency volatility or because the Fund believes a currency is overvalued. There can be no guarantee that any hedging activity will be successful. 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.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Credit Risks**—An issuer or counterparty may fail to pay its obligations to the 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 or 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.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Interest Rate Risks**—The values of debt instruments held by the Fund generally will fall in response to increases in interest rates. The value of a security with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar security with a shorter duration. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the recent period of historically low interest rates. If interest rates rise, repayments of principal on certain debt securities, including loans, may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected length of repayment of those securities could increase as a result.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Derivatives Risks**—A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on changes in the value of one or more underlying assets, reference rates or indexes. These instruments include, among others, forward foreign currency exchange contracts; futures on securities, indices, currencies, commodities, swaps and other investments; options; swaps, including interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps and similar instruments. The 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.

In addition to the risks of an adverse change in the value of the underlying reference asset, the 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 the 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 the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price.

Recent US and non-US legislative and regulatory reforms, including those related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), have resulted in, and may in the future result in, new regulation of derivative instruments and the Fund's use of such instruments. New regulations could, among other things, restrict the 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 the Fund may as a result be unable to execute its investment strategies in a manner Artisan Partners might otherwise choose.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Risks of Emphasizing a Region, Country, Sector or Industry**—If the Fund has invested a higher percentage of its total assets in a particular region, country, sector or industry, changes affecting that region, country, sector or industry may have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund's overall portfolio.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Foreign Sovereign Debt Risks**—The 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.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Futures Contract Risks**—The Fund may enter into futures contracts, in which the Fund agrees to buy or sell a security or other asset on a specified future date at a specified price or rate. There are risks associated with futures contracts, including that the success of such an investment strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and

\|

------

**Summary Prospectus**—Artisan Partners Funds

------

movements in interest rates; there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures; there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Credit Default Swaps Risks**—A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer. Credit default swaps may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Fund. The protection "buyer" may be obligated to pay the protections "seller" an up-front payment or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract, provided generally that no credit event on a reference obligation has occurred. When the Fund acts as a buyer of a credit default swap, it may lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. When the Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap, it must pay a buyer the full notional value of the reference obligation, and the Fund may not be profitable if no secondary market exists or the Fund is otherwise unable to close out these transactions at advantageous time. Credit default swaps involve special risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty).

<sup>◾</sup>

**Short Position Risks**—The risk that an increase in the value of an instrument with respect to which the Fund has established a short position for investment and/or risk management purposes will result in a loss to the Fund.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Leverage Risks**—Certain transactions, including, for example, the use of certain derivatives and borrowing money, can result in leverage. Leverage generally has the effect of increasing the amounts of loss or gain the Fund might realize and creates the likelihood of greater volatility of the value of the Fund's investments. There is risk of loss in excess of invested capital.

<sup>◾</sup>

**High Yield Securities ("Junk Bond") Risks**—Fixed income instruments rated below investment grade, or unrated securities that are determined by Artisan Partners to be of comparable 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. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of junk bonds generally and less secondary market liquidity. This potential lack of liquidity may make it more difficult for the Fund to accurately value these securities.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Instruments Risks**—Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities typically provide a monthly payment which consists of both principal and interest. In times of declining interest rates, there is a greater likelihood that a Fund's higher yielding securities will be pre-paid with the Fund being unable to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as great a yield. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. Many of the risks of investing in mortgage-related securities secured by commercial mortgage loans ("CMBS") reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make lease payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. These securities may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Government Securities Risks**—The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the US Government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac")). Unlike Ginnie Mae securities, securities issued or guaranteed by US Government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government and no assurance can be given that the US Government would provide financial support.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Counterparty Risks**—The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts and other instruments entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent or otherwise fails to perform its obligations to the Fund due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant losses or delays in obtaining any recovery (including recovery of any collateral it has provided to the counterparty) from the counterparty.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Loan Risks**—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. The 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 the 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, the 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 the 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 the 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.

\|

**Summary Prospectus**—Artisan Partners Funds

------

<sup>◾</sup>

**Convertible Securities Risks**—Investing in convertible securities subjects the Fund to the risks of debt, but also the risks associated with an investment in the underlying equity security. Convertible securities are frequently issued with a call feature that allows the issuer to choose when to redeem the security, which could result in the Fund being forced to redeem, convert, or sell the convertible security under circumstances unfavorable to the Fund.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Stressed and Distressed Instruments Risks**—Investments in the securities of financially stressed or distressed issuers involve substantial risks, including the risk that all or a portion of principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings. As with any issuer, the team's judgments about the credit quality of a financially stressed or distressed issuer and the relative value of its securities may prove to be wrong.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Liquidity Risks**—Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a portfolio investment at a desirable time or at the value the Fund has placed on the investment. It may be more difficult for the Fund to determine a fair value of an illiquid investment than that of a more liquid comparable investment.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Non-Diversification Risks**—As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its 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.

<sup>◾</sup>

**LIBOR Replacement Risks**—The coupons on variable and floating rate investments in which the Fund may invest are not fixed and may fluctuate based upon changes in market rates. The coupon on a floating rate investment is generally based on an interest rate such as a money-market index, LIBOR or a Treasury bill rate. In addition, certain floating and variable rate obligations have an interest rate floor feature, which prevents the interest rate payable by the security from dropping below a specified level as compared to a reference interest rate (the "reference rate"), such as LIBOR. In 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority warned that LIBOR may cease to be available, or appropriate for use, by 2021. However, on 30 November 2020, LIBOR's administrator, the ICE Benchmark Administration, signaled that LIBOR may continue to be published and available for use until 30 June 2023. The future elimination of LIBOR, among other "inter-bank offered" reference rates, may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR.

<sup>◾</sup>

**ETF Risks**—ETFs generally expose their shareholders to the risks associated with the assets in which the ETF invests. Additionally, as exchange-traded investment vehicles, ETFs may involve market risk, management risk and (for index funds) tracking risk. If the Fund acquires shares of an ETF, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the ETF.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Private Placement and Restricted Securities Risks**—In addition to the general risks to which all securities are subject, securities acquired in a private placement generally are subject to strict restrictions on resale, and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities, and a liquid secondary market may never develop. Therefore, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so or at a favorable time or price. This potential lack of liquidity may make it more difficult for the Fund to accurately value these securities. Issuers of private placements or other restricted securities may include special purpose vehicles ("SPVs") that hold underlying assets to which the Fund wants to gain exposure. The Fund may have the right to receive payments only from the SPV, and may not have direct rights against the issuer of the underlying assets. Investors in such SPVs generally pay their share of the SPV's administrative and other expenses, including management fees.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Small and Medium-Sized Company Risks**—Securities of small and medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of large companies. Compared to large companies, small and medium-sized companies typically may have analyst coverage by fewer brokerage firms – meaning they may trade at prices that reflect incomplete or inaccurate information. Smaller companies may have a shorter history of operations, less access to financing and a less diversified product line – making them more susceptible to market pressures and more likely to have volatile security prices. During some periods, securities of small and medium-sized companies, as an asset class, have underperformed the securities of larger companies.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Valuation Risks**—The Fund's investments are valued in accordance with Artisan Partners' valuation policies. The valuation of any investment involves inherent uncertainty. The value of a security determined in accordance with the valuation policies may differ materially from the value that could have been realized in an actual sale or transfer for a variety of reasons, including the timing of the transaction and liquidity in the market.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Repurchase Agreement Risks**—The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, which are transactions in which the 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. 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. In addition, to the extent that the Fund enters into repurchase agreements, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective may be limited.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Impact of Actions by Other Shareholders**—The Fund, like all mutual funds, pools the investments of many investors. Actions by one investor or multiple investors in the Fund may have an adverse effect on the Fund and on other investors. For example, shareholder purchase and redemption activity may affect the per share amount of the Fund's distributions of its net income and net realized gains, if any, thereby increasing or reducing the tax burden on the Fund's shareholders subject to income tax who receive Fund distributions.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Operational and Cybersecurity Risks**—Operational failures, cyber-attacks or other disruptions that affect the Fund's service providers, the Fund's counterparties, other market participants or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations.

<sup>◾</sup>

**Limited Operating History Risks**—The Fund is a newly formed fund and has limited operating history for investors to evaluate.

**Tax Information**

The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains, except when you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. If you invest through such tax-advantaged arrangements, you may be subject to tax upon withdrawal from those arrangements.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund, the investment adviser and/or the distributor may pay the financial intermediary for the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders. The investment adviser and/or the distributor may also pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
