What Artisan Partners Asset Management does
Artisan Partners Asset Management is an active investment manager founded in 1994 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with additional offices in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, Leawood (Kansas) and London. It serves institutional clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, endowments, foundations, charities and government entities, plus investors in its mutual funds, non-U.S. funds, collective trusts and private funds. The firm runs separate, research-driven equity and fixed income portfolios across global public markets. On the equity side it invests in both growth and value stocks of companies of all sizes. On the fixed income side it focuses on non-investment-grade corporate bonds and secured and unsecured loans. Because it is paid mainly on assets under management, its results depend heavily on investment performance, market levels and client inflows and outflows.

What is Artisan Partners Asset Management worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Artisan Partners Asset Management's most-likely value is about $66 versus a recent price near $33 (97% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$38) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Deeply discounted.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
On the financials alone, $33 is below even the no-growth floor ($38); the market's discount — expectations and sentiment beyond the numbers — is pricing in ≈ -1.3%/yr. A bargain only if that pessimism is overdone.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
