Segment Reporting
Note 16. Segment Information
Artisan operates as one segment in the investment management business. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The CODM uses consolidated Net Income attributable to Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. as presented within the Consolidated Statements of Operations (“net income”), among other consolidated metrics, to evaluate segment performance. Based on net income, as well as the other metrics, the CODM considers whether to use profits to invest in growth initiatives or return cash to shareholders through dividends while assessing the level of resources available through review of “Total assets” as presented within the consolidated statements of financial condition. The CODM reviews significant segment expenses at a level consistent with that presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with the exception of Compensation and Benefits which is reviewed at a more disaggregated level as presented in the table below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
