a r t i s a n p a r t n e r s a s s e t m a n a g e m e n t 12  Incentive compensation is primarily variable compensation paid to investment and distribution teams based on revenue- share percentages and discretionary cash incentives paid to other employees. Incentive compensation decreased in the December 2015 quarter as compared to the September 2015 quarter primarily due to lower revenues. On a year over year basis, incentive compensation increased primarily due to the on-boarding of our new Developing World investment team.  The equity based compensation expense of $9.2 million in the December 2015 quarter is the quarterly amortization of the equity grants we have made since our March 2013 IPO. The decrease from the September 2015 quarter is due to an annual adjustment made in the September 2015 quarter reflecting that fewer grants have been forfeited than we originally estimated. On a year over year basis, equity based compensation increased due to the equity grant made in January 2015. FINANCIAL RESULTS — Compensation & Benefits (in millions) December 2015 % of Rev.

Statements regarding future events and developments and the company’s future performance, as well as management’s current expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, incurrence of net losses, adverse effects of management focusing on implementation of a growth strategy, failure to develop and maintain the Artisan Partners brand and other factors disclosed in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors listed under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2015. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this presentation. Investment Performance We measure the results of our “composites”, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including mutual funds, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed socially based restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the results of these accounts, which represented approximately 9% of our assets under management at December 31, 2015, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Composite data for the following strategies is represented by a single account: Artisan Developing World and Artisan High Income. Results for any investment strategy described herein, and for different investment products within a strategy, are affected by numerous factors, including different material market or economic conditions; different investment management fee rates, brokerage commissions and other expenses; and the reinvestment of dividends or other earnings. The returns for any strategy may be positive or negative, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Composite returns are presented gross of investment advisory fees applied to client accounts. Fees, if reflected, would reduce the results presented for an investor in an account managed within a Composite. In these materials, we present “Value-Added”, which is the amount in basis points by which the average annual gross composite return of each of our strategies has outperformed or underperformed the broad-based market index most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. The market indices used to compute the value added for each of our strategies are as follows: Non-U.S. Growth Strategy / Non-U.S. Value Strategy—MSCI EAFE Index; Global Equity Strategy / Global Opportunities Strategy / Global Value Strategy—MSCI ACWI Index; Global Small-Cap Growth Strategy—MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index; Non-U.S. Small-Cap Growth Strategy—MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index; U.S. Mid-Cap Growth Strategy / U.S. Mid-Cap Value Strategy—Russell Midcap® Index; U.S. Small-Cap Growth Strategy / U.S. Small-Cap Value Strategy—Russell 2000® Index; Value Equity Strategy—Russell 1000® Index; Developing World Strategy / Emerging Markets Strategy—MSCI Emerging Markets Index; High Income Strategy—BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. Unlike the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master ll Index, the Artisan High Income Strategy may hold loans and other security types. At times, this causes material differences in relative performance. In this document, we present information based on Morningstar, Inc., or Morningstar, ratings for series of Artisan Partners Funds, Inc. (“Artisan Funds”). The Morningstar ratings refer to the ratings by Morningstar of the share class of the respective series of Artisan Funds with the earliest inception date and are based on a 5-star scale.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ which is based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance, including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. Ratings are based on risk-adjusted returns and are historical and do not represent future results. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-year, five-year, and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Ratings metrics. The Artisan Funds, the ratings of which form the basis for the information reflected in this presentation, and the categories in which they are rated are: Artisan International Fund—Foreign Large Blend Funds Category; Artisan International Small Cap Fund—Foreign Small/Mid Growth Funds Category; Artisan Global Equity Fund—World Stock; Artisan Small Cap Value Fund—Small Value Funds Category; Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund—Mid- Cap Value Funds Category; Artisan Value Equity Fund—Large Value Funds Category; Artisan Mid Cap Fund—Mid-Cap Growth Funds Category; Artisan Global Opportunities Fund—World Stock; Artisan Small Cap Fund—Small Growth Funds Category; Artisan International Value Fund—Foreign Small/Mid Funds Category; Artisan Global Value Fund—World Stock; Artisan Emerging Markets Fund— Diversified Emerging Markets Funds Category.
