| And when there's money in motion, it gives us an incredible opportunity given the array of strategies we have |
| So again, it actually benefits, active international or global equity mandates, which we are very well positioned for |
| Both have outstanding track records with differentiated portfolios |
| As we discussed at the Investor Day, we pursue asset classes where we see the overlap of exceptional talent, large investment opportunity sets for differentiation and alpha generation, large addressable markets with long-term allocators and good fit with our strategic expansion of our business model and operating platform |
| Credit opportunities and now the dislocation fund, both of those are really taking advantage of the smaller public credit markets that, I guess, have been somewhat forgotten and ignored in capturing an illiquid premium in that, which we think is an incredible opportunity |
| During the third quarter, we continued to capitalize on this success and grow these businesses |
| I think the important thing is we believe we have a very strong distribution team that's focused on who we are |
| We onboarded a $250 million institutional account in global unconstrained and the high income strategy had another strong quarter of flows, bringing year-to-date net inflows to over $1 billion for that strategy |
| At the Investor Day, we also described why we are confident, we will continue to compound wealth for clients, scale our newer strategies, add additional capabilities and continue to generate high-quality outcomes for our clients, employees and shareholders |
| In our minds, it's clearly solidified a space and long-term asset allocation |
| In the last decade, we've all been operating in a much more favorable market backdrop with probably higher market beta maybe than what's on the come |
| We have a tremendous opportunity with our two existing teams, and there is great potential to leverage our operational platform with additional fixed income talent |
| We are evolving our distribution model, and we have in place a business management team with deep industry and Artisan-specific experience that is extremely well positioned to move us forward |
| Emerging Markets offers a large and growing investment opportunity set |
| We have hired excellent people, provided compelling incentives and sold and serviced across multiple channels and geographies with modest headcount and total spend |
| The track record is looking as we expected, which was a high value-added Emerging Market debt and global unconstrained strategies |
| We have delivered quality outcomes for our shareholders since our IPO 10 years ago |
| Our balance sheet continues to support our operations and seed capital needs and provides a healthy cash dividend |
| This group gives us the breadth and depth to continue our repeatable franchise development process, further expand our investment and business capabilities and keep the compounding process going long into the future |
| We are confident that our commitment to investing in our business will drive future growth, and we remain focused on returning capital to shareholders to generate quality outcomes over long time periods |
| And we're starting to build a nice track record in the pooled vehicles and expect that we would have a forward lean in smaller allocations into the pooled vehicle is our expectation there |
| We spent the early months building out the foundation, bringing in the team and allowing the team to put the proper foundation to build a strong track record |
| These more structured marketing efforts increased the probability of near- and medium-term success and serve as a model for the future |
| As highlighted in our recent Investor Day, growth is not linear and takes time in patience, and we continue to demonstrate the patience and discipline to grow our business over time to produce durable and high-quality results |
| Our operational platform has more capabilities than ever |
| There is ample opportunity for differentiation and alpha and clients want to need active risk management |
| And we are collecting, generating and using more data to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our sales and service groups |
| We have a good interest in the institutional marketplace around these mandates |
| And we have a fairly broad and robust Credit platform |
| Adjusted operating income increased 4% in comparison to the previous quarter and increased 5% compared to last year's third quarter |
| Statement |

| The decline in equity markets during the quarter drove our assets under management down to $136.5 billion as of September 30 |
| On a year-to-date basis, revenues were down 5% compared to 2022 on lower average AUM |
| As a result of lower revenues, year-to-date adjusted operating income and adjusted net income per adjusted share were both down 15% compared to the 2022 year-to-date period |
| Declines in global market indices contributed meaningfully to the decline in our AUM |
| Year-to-date average AUM was $139 billion, down 5% from last year |
| Net client outflows primarily in global equity mandates also contributed to the AUM declines |
| So I think we've seen a good amount of expense investment, which has obviously impacted our margin |
| So, we've seen, in general, muted flows compared to '20 and '21 |
| The -- just back and away even above the institutional marketplace, we've come off of a pretty big drawdown in '22 and then a lot of uncertainty here in '23 |
| And the point you made around allocated is pulling back from Emerging Markets in the last year or so is, I guess, perhaps not too surprising |
| We have no illusions about the challenges presented by geopolitics and China, in particular |
| So, we're not sure if there's going to be an uptick or a downtick |
| Flows haven't been good either |
| And so the offset then is margin |
