Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund Q1 2026 Performance Review

Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund portfolio trailed the Russell Midcap® Value Index in Q1. Performance was weighed down by a market environment that continued to favor momentum-driven stocks, with less support for quality factors. Among the biggest decliners were ICON, Gartner and Pinterest, each of which dropped by 30% or more during the quarter. Our three largest new buys by position size were Brown & Brown, Veralto and IQVIA Holdings.
