"The fund navigated a volatile, tariff-dominated Q2 by leveraging market pullbacks to concentrate capital into high-conviction secular growth holdings across AI, internet, and select healthcare plays."
Executive Summary
During Q2 2025, the Artisan Global Discovery Fund delivered solid absolute returns of 10.84% (Investor Class) but trailed the MSCI AC World Small Mid Index. Markets experienced intense volatility due to tariff announcements ('Liberation Day') and Middle East tensions. The fund leveraged early-quarter market pullbacks to initiate positions in RBC Bearings, Wingstop, and 3i Group, and to add to Samsara and Sartorius. Conversely, the team completely exited positions in Saia, Gerresheimer, and GoDaddy due to fundamental headwind concerns, and trimmed positions in Tradeweb and MIPS on valuation grounds.
