Artisan Partners (NYSE: APAM) announced today that Rezo
Kanovich is joining the firm as a managing director and portfolio
manager. Effective October 15, 2018, Mr. Kanovich will be named
sole portfolio manager for the Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Cap Growth
Strategy, including the Artisan International Small Cap Fund, and
the strategy and fund will re-open to new investors. In addition,

be supported by a dedicated team of research analysts who will
report directly to him.
Prior to joining Artisan, Mr. Kanovich was portfolio manager of

with Rezo’s portfolio management abilities and research
perspectives and look forward to collaborating with him in the
future.”

natural fit for our talent-driven business model. He brings to
Artisan a well-defined investment philosophy that aligns with the
Global Equity team’s focus on companies that offer long-term
opportunities for growth. In addition, he brings a track record of
successfully managing a differentiated portfolio of international
small- and mid-cap stocks. We are confident that our partnership
