Company Press Release
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Artisan Partners announced today that Mr. Charles (C.J.) Daley, Jr. will join its team
as Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer effective July 26, 2010. C.J. will have lead responsibility for

Eric Colson, Artisan’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We believe that Artisan Partners is a talent business and
we are committed to attracting and developing proven talent. Earlier this year, we attracted Barry Dargan
from MFS to co-manage our global equity portfolios. The hiring of Barry and the experience he brings to our
firm as a global equity manager and the leadership experience C.J. has at a global asset manager are
confirmation that we manage a global, talent-focused business.”
