    Quarterly Commentary—Artisan Non-U.S. Small

    QUARTERLY Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth Strategy FactCommentary Sheet As of 30 June 2020 Investment Process We seek long-term investments in high-quality businesses exposed to structural growth themes that can be acquired at sensible valuations in a contrarian fashion and are led by excellent management teams. Investing with Tailwinds We identify structural themes at the intersection of growth and change with the objective of investing in companies having meaningful exposure to these trends. Themes can be identified from both bottom-up and top-down perspectives. High-Quality Businesses We seek future leaders with attractive growth characteristics that we can own for the long term. Our fundamental analysis focuses on those companies exhibiting unique and defensible business models, high barriers to entry, proven management teams, favorable positions within their industry value chains and high or improving returns on capital. In short, we look to invest in small companies that have potential to become large. A Contrarian Approach to Valuation We seek to invest in high-quality businesses in a contrarian fashion. Mismatches between stock price and long-term business value are created by market dislocations, temporary slowdowns in individual businesses or misperceptions in the investment community. We also examine business transformation brought about by management change or restructuring. Manage Unique Risks of International Small- and Mid-Cap Equities International small- and mid-cap equities are exposed to unique investment risks that require managing. We define risk as permanent loss of capital, not share price volatility. We manage this risk by having a long-term ownership focus, understanding the direct and indirect security risks for each business, constructing the portfolio on a well-diversified basis and sizing positions according to individual risk characteristics.

The new UK Corporate Governance Code, to take effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, includes some far reaching changes, and the year ahead will be a period of review and change for many companies. Remuneration committees must look at how best to adapt to an expanded remit around workforce remuneration, as well as a greater focus on how judgment is used to ensure that pay outcomes are justified and supported by performance. Against this backdrop, 2018 has been a mixed year in the FTSE 250 executive pay environment. In terms of pay outcomes, the picture is relatively stable. Overall pay levels have fallen for FTSE 250 chief executives and we have seen continued momentum in companies adopting executive alignment features such as holding periods, as well as strengthening shareholding guidelines for executives.
