22 Q & A

23 Artisan Partners U.S. Value Team Valuations of REITs and Utilities In spite of valuations that look full to us, REITs and utilities meaningfully outperformed the market in 2014 through 2015, as investors thirst for yield in a low interest rate environment has pushed them higher. In 2016, we began to see a reversal of those trends, as REITs and utilities underperformed. These interest-rate proxies make up around 11% of the Russell 1000 Value Index vs. 1% of our portfolio. Our lack of exposure stems from concerns on valuations and maintaining discipline to our investment philosophy and process. Our portfolio positioning is a result of our bottom-up investment approach we want to lean into areas of exposure where we see particular value but also ensure we don t take our economic exposure too far to turn the portfolio into a macro bet. 26.0X REITs Price to AFFO 20.0X Russell 1000 Value Utilities Sector P/E (FY1) 21.0X 17.0X 16.0X Average 14.0X Average 11.0X 11.0X 6.0X 8.0X Jan 1999 Jan 2000 Jan 2001 Jan 2002 Jan 2003 Jan 2004 Jan 2005 Jan 2006 Jan 2007 Jan 2008 Jan 2009 Jan 2010 Jan 2011 Jan 2012 Jan 2013 Jan 2014 Jan 2015 Jan 2016 Jan 2017 Mar 1997 Mar 1998 Mar 1999 Mar 2000 Mar 2001 Mar 2002 Mar 2003 Mar 2004 Mar 2005 Mar 2006 Mar 2007 Mar 2008 Mar 2009 Mar 2010 Mar 2011 Mar 2012 Mar 2013 Mar 2014 Mar 2015 Mar 2016 Mar 2017 Source: Artisan Partners/FactSet/GICS/Russell.

As of 31 Mar *Includes Q time period. Past performance does not guarantee and is not a reliable indicator of future results. Gross-of-fees performance shown for the Composite. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Up Market periods are those when the return of the Index is greater than 0%, while Down Market periods are those when the return is less than 0%. Annualized Up Market Return is calculated by taking the quarterly performance of the Composite and the Index, for each quarter in which the Index was up (whether or not the performance of the Composite was greater than 0%), and geometrically linking the returns to compute a cumulative total return earned during periods when the Index was up (the "up period cumulative return"). This calculation effectively assumes a return of 0% in each quarter in which the performance of the Index was negative. Annualized Up Market Return is equivalent to the annual rate of return that, if earned in each year included in this calculation would produce the up period cumulative return over the same timeframe. Annualized Down Market Return is calculated in the same way for periods in which the Index was down, and also effectively assumes a return of 0% in each quarter in which the performance of the index was positive. The Average Annual Total Return shown is equivalent to the annual rate of return that, if earned by the Composite in each year, would produce the cumulative total return achieved by the strategy.

30 Artisan Partners Notes and Disclosures This section of this presentation contains information important to a complete understanding of the material presented. Please review it carefully. Artisan Partners is an independent investment management firm focused on providing high value-added, active investment strategies to sophisticated clients globally. Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (APLP) is an investment adviser registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Artisan Partners UK LLP (APUK) is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and is a registered investment adviser with the SEC. APLP and APUK are collectively, with their parent company and affiliates, referred to as Artisan Partners herein. Form ADV: Additional information about APLP or APUK, the firms, its partners, ownership, investment strategies, fees and expenses and policies is contained in each firm s respective Form ADV. Each firm will supply a copy of its Form ADV upon request. Artisan U.S. Mid-Cap Value Strategy 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. Value securities may underperform other asset types during a given period. Artisan Value Equity Strategy 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. 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. Value securities may underperform other asset types during a given period. Composite Performance: All performance results are net of commissions and transaction costs, and have been presented gross or net of investment advisory fees. For performance presented net of fees, fees may be higher for certain pooled vehicles and the composite may include accounts with performance-based fees. Dividend income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes on ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date as the information becomes available to Artisan Partners. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Performance results for the index include reinvested dividends and are presented net of foreign withholding taxes but, unlike the portfolio's returns, do not reflect the payment of sales commissions or other expenses incurred in the purchase or sale of the securities included in the indices. IPO investments are not an integral component of the Strategy's investment process and may not be available in the future. A client s returns will be reduced by the advisory fees and other expenses it may incur in the management of its account. For example, an actively managed account of $20 million with an annual rate of return of 10% compounded over a 10-year period that was charged an advisory fee of 1.05%, would achieve a net-of-fee return of %; compared to a gross-of-fee return of 159.4% based on the same assumptions. Unless otherwise indicated, the Artisan Strategy characteristics relate to that of an investment composite or a representative account managed within a composite. It is intended to provide a general illustration of the investment strategy and considerations used by Artisan Partners in managing that strategy.
