Current report

By December 2026, we expect the equity Artisan Funds to have completed their annual income and capital gain distributions. Based on our current estimates and assumptions, we expect fourth quarter distributions to result in approximately $2.5 billion of net client cash outflows from investors who choose not to reinvest their distributions. The fourth quarter 2026 distributions, estimates of which we expect Artisan Funds to disclose in advance of the record dates, may cause increased mutual fund redemptions.

Current report

The increase in revenues of $11.2 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, was driven primarily by a $3.1 billion, or 2%, increase in our average AUM and an increase in the weighted average fee rate. The higher fee rate resulted from the termination of accounts and closure of strategies associated with the wind-down of the U.S. Value team, which generally had below average fee rates.

Current report

The decrease in total compensation and benefits was primarily due to a $6.6 million decrease in long-term incentive compensation expense largely driven by changes in market valuation. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in incentive compensation primarily attributable to higher revenues and a $1.2 million increase in salaries predominantly associated with employees who joined the Company through the Grandview acquisition.

Current report

Total net investment gain decreased $24.1 million in aggregate for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Artisan's share of the net investment gain (loss) decreased from a $15.7 million gain for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to a $3.6 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to market conditions.

Current report

We estimate that our GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates could increase by approximately one percentage point beginning in 2027 as a result of the compensation deduction limitation rules within the OBBBA.

Current report

Nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to nine months ended September 30, 2025

Current report

Total net investment gain decreased $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Artisan's share of the net investment gain decreased from a $48.3 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to a $27.6 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to market conditions.

Current report

On September 23, 2026, Artisan Partners Holdings LP replaced its existing $100 million revolving credit facility with a new $150 million five-year revolving credit facility that matures in September 2031. The previous facility was scheduled to mature in August 2027. The Company incurred debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility of $1.4 million, which are recorded to other assets and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the instrument.

Previous report

Previous report

Total net investment gain increased $0.9 million in aggregate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to market conditions partially offset by a lower average invested balance during the 2026 period.

Previous report

Although our equity strategies experienced net outflows overall, approximately $9.2 billion were concentrated in the Growth and U.S. Value teams, including $2.8 billion from the Growth team’s strategies and $6.4 billion attributable to client account terminations within our U.S. Value strategies.

Several factors contribute to APAM's effective income tax rate.

Current wording

Previous wording

In addition to funding our normal operations, we will be required to fund amounts payable under the TRAs that we entered into in connection with the IPO, which resulted in the recognition of a $275.0 million liability as of June 30, 2026. The liability generally represents 85% of the tax benefits APAM expects to realize as a result of the merger of an entity into APAM as part of the IPO Reorganization, our purchase of partnership units from limited partners of Holdings and the exchange of partnership units (for shares of Class A common stock or other consideration). The estimated liability assumes no material changes in the relevant tax law and that APAM earns sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits subject to the TRAs. An increase or decrease in future tax rates will increase or decrease, respectively, the expected tax benefits APAM would realize and the amounts payable under the TRAs. Changes in the estimate of expected tax benefits APAM would realize and the amounts payable under the TRAs as a result of change in tax rates have been and will be recorded in net income.

Previous wording

The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under these agreements, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of sales or exchanges by the holders of limited partnership units, the price of the Class A common stock at the time of such sales or exchanges, whether such sales or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income APAM generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable and the portion of APAM’s payments under the TRAs constituting imputed interest or depreciable basis or amortizable basis. In certain cases, payments under the TRAs may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRAs. In such cases, we intend to fund those payments with cash on hand, although we may have to borrow funds depending on the amount and timing of the payments. In fiscal 2026, we expect to make TRA payments totaling approximately $40.4 million, $30.3 million of which was paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
