About Investor

Christopher Smith is the managing director of Artisan Partners and founding portfolio manager of the Antero Peak Group, which launched the Artisan Focus Fund in April 2017. Smith brings 22 years of investment experience, having joined Artisan Partners in October 2016 after building expertise at premier investment firms. He holds a bachelor's degree in finance (summa cum laude) from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (1999-2003). Prior to Artisan Partners, Smith was a senior analyst at Kingdon Capital Management where he managed capital directly for Mark Kingdon. He previously served as managing director and senior analyst at Karsch Capital Management, covering consumer, media, and industrial sectors. Upon Karsch Capital's closure in August 2013, Smith was selected by Michael Karsch to create and exclusively manage Centerline Investment Partners, a long-only fund with more than $100 million in assets, which was later merged into Kingdon Capital. Smith has also worked at Soros Fund Management, as well as UBS and Credit Suisse in equity research. Under his leadership, the Artisan Focus Fund has delivered strong performance with an annualized return of 17.76% since inception, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by approximately 3.43% annually.
