Positive Factors

Long-term investment performanceLong-horizon benchmark outperformance supports Artisan’s ability to retain existing mandates and win new assets, which is central to an AUM-based fee model. If sustained, this record can reinforce the platform’s competitive position and support recurring revenue across market cycles.

Negative Factors

Large client outflowsLarge quarterly outflows and lower ending AUM directly pressure fee revenue because management fees are tied to client assets. Even though much of the decline came from identified events, the scale highlights retention and mandate-concentration risk that can weigh on earnings.

Artisan Partners Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Oct 26, 2026(Q3-2026)|% Change Since:6.07%|Next Earnings Date:Feb 01, 2027

Earnings Call SentimentPositive

The call had a positive overall tone. Management highlighted strong long-term investment performance, continued credit and alternatives inflows, product and geographic expansion, year-to-date financial growth, a strong balance sheet and multiple growth initiatives. These positives outweighed the significant but largely identified challenges from equity underperformance, $10.6 billion of quarterly net outflows, lower ending AUM, higher year-over-year expenses and expected near-term distribution-related AUM reduction.

Positive Updates

Strong Long-Term Investment Performance

At quarter end, 92% of assets under management outperformed their benchmarks over 10 years and 99% had outperformed since inception, gross of fees.

Negative Updates

Substantial Quarterly Net Client Outflows

Net client outflows totaled $10.6 billion in the quarter. Approximately $7.8 billion was associated with two discrete events: $1.9 billion from the U.S. Value team wind-down and $5.9 billion from the rebalancing of a large global value client relationship.

Company Guidance

For the fourth quarter, management anticipates launching an ETF share class of the Artisan Select Equity Fund and Artisan Focus Fund, staging these anticipated launches over the next several quarters, with a few more in Q1 and several more throughout the course of 2027; it is developing an interval fund structure for wealth clients in 2027. Annual income and capital gains mutual fund distributions are currently estimated to reduce AUM by $2.5 billion for distributions that will not be reinvested, approximately 3% of AUM is subject to performance fees, and management is projecting a similar contribution to last year’s approximately $29 million of performance fees, subject to market and performance conditions through the end of the year, with 7 of 8 performance fee accounts in the money. The recurring management fee rate is expected to be somewhere around 70 basis points, up probably a little over 1 basis point than where we were trending, and relatively stable. Fixed-cost guidance remains mid single digits, excluding the addition of the cost from Grand View and the exchange of kicks with the LTI grant.
