Smith has 14 years investment experience at investment firms including Karsch Capital, Soros Capital and Kingdon Capital.

Artisan Partners CEO Eric Colson said: “Our business model provides the thematic team with the resources and autonomy to fully and purely implement its philosophy and process without distractions. Chris Smith brings a wealth of experience in managing concentrated long-only and long/short portfolios.”

“We are excited to have him and the team launch their first strategy, which utilizes a unique approach to capitalising on multi-year thematic trends through a high-conviction portfolio. The thematic fund is emblematic of our investment offerings that have higher degrees of investment flexibility and risk management tools.”

In regards to the team’s approach, Smith added: “We believe the combination of a top-down thematic framework and bottom-up analysis, with a keen focus on risk management, positions the portfolio to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term.”
