Artisan Partners Growth Team Portfolio Management Update
MILWAUKEE — Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) has made a significant announcement regarding its portfolio management team. Craigh Cepukenas will step down from his portfolio management responsibilities at the end of the year. While he will remain an integral part of the Artisan Partners Growth Team in an advisory role as a managing director, he will no longer participate in portfolio management decisions starting December 31, 2024.
Beginning January 1, 2025, Co-Lead Portfolio Manager Jay Warner will assume the role of sole Lead Portfolio Manager for the Artisan U.S. Small-Cap Growth Strategy. The other portfolio managers on the Artisan Partners Growth Team, including Jim Hamel, Matt Kamm, and Jason White, will continue leading their respective strategies: Artisan Global Opportunities, U.S. Mid-Cap Growth, and Global Discovery Strategies.
The Growth Team is committed to maintaining its collaborative approach, overseeing its various portfolios in line with the established investment philosophy and process, which has been in effect since the team's establishment. This structure ensures that clients benefit from a consistent investment strategy across different portfolio types.
In comments regarding this transition, Matt Kamm noted, “Craigh has reached a stage in his life and career where it makes sense to reduce his involvement in day-to-day portfolio management activities. Meanwhile, Jay has added tremendous value for clients while consistently demonstrating the strong leadership and expertise needed to lead the U.S. Small-Cap Growth portfolio.”
Artisan Partners President Jason Gottlieb added, “Since joining the firm in 1995, Craigh has greatly contributed to delivering solid long-term results for clients. He has also played a pivotal role in nurturing investment talent and embodying the Growth Team’s culture. We have full confidence in Jay’s ability to continue the outstanding work that has defined the Growth Team for decades.”
