NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artisan Partners announced today that the Artisan Partners Thematic Team has been renamed the Antero Peak Group. Concurrently, the Artisan Thematic Strategy has been renamed the Antero Peak Strategy, and the Artisan Thematic Long/Short Strategy has been renamed the Antero Peak Hedge Strategy. The Antero Peak Group is led by portfolio manager Chris Smith, who joined Artisan Partners to found the team in 2016.
The team has marked many milestones in the last year, including the celebration of its three-year anniversary, the addition of exceptional talent and the expansion of its footprint with the opening of its new Denver office. In honor of these landmark events, the team has changed its name to better express its strategic vision.

Mr. Smith explained, “The constant pursuit of excellence is a core value of the team as we seek to grow as individuals, investors and partners to our clients. The spirit of this tenet demands that we continually iterate and evolve, and our proactive name change to the Antero Peak Group is a reflection of this core value.”

A non-diversified portfolio may invest a larger portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers and performance of a single issuer may affect overall portfolio performance greater than in a diversified portfolio. The portfolio’s use of derivative instruments may create additional leverage and involve risks different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in more traditional investments. High portfolio turnover may adversely affect returns due to increased transaction costs and creation of additional tax consequences. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid and may have underperformed securities of large companies during some periods. International investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets.
