MILWAUKEE, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artisan Partners is pleased to announce the successful final close of the Artisan Dislocation Opportunities Fund. The Fund secured over $160 million in commitments, surpassing the team’s initial fundraising target.
Managed by Bryan Krug and the Credit team, Artisan Dislocation Opportunities Fund is an opportunistic credit fund in a private, drawdown structure that seeks to capture highly attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in dislocated performing, stressed and special situations corporate credit. The structure of the Fund allows the Credit team to put new capital to work quickly and efficiently in both public and private securities if and when credit markets dislocate.
This also marks the fourth strategy launched by the Credit team since Bryan joined Artisan Partners in 2013. The enthusiasm around this strategy—both internally and externally—is a testament to the team’s deep fundamental credit expertise, proven leadership, time-tested philosophy and process and strong track record.
Artisan Partners President Jason Gottlieb commented, “We congratulate Bryan and the Credit team for establishing a credit platform with broad degrees of freedom and capabilities. Looking ahead, we believe the Credit team is just getting started.”
The Fund is now closed to investors.
