INVESTMENT PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Artisan Global Equity Fund employs a fundamental stock selection process focused on identifying long-term growth opportunities. The investment team’s thematic approach identifies catalysts for change and develops investment themes with the objective of capitalizing on them globally.

Themes. Changing demographics, developing technology, privatization of economic resources, outsourcing and infrastructure are among the long-term catalysts for change that currently form the basis for our investment themes. The team incorporates these catalysts along with sector and regional fundamentals into a long-term global framework for investment analysis and decision-making.

Sustainable Growth. The team applies a fundamental approach to identifying the long-term, sustainable growth characteristics of potential investments. The team seeks high quality companies that are well managed, have a dominant or improving market position and competitive advantages compared to industry and regional peers.

Valuation. The team assesses the relationship between its estimate of a company’s sustainable growth prospects and its stock price. The team utilizes multiple valuation metrics to establish price targets.

The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s return may vary greatly over short periods, and current performance may be materially lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The Fund’s investments in initial public offerings (IPOs) made a material contribution to the Fund’s performance. IPO investments are not an integral component of the Fund’s investment process and may not be available in the future. For current to most recent month-end performance information, visit www.artisanfunds.com or call 800.344.1770. The graph and table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or sale of Fund shares. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held by an investor for 90 days or less and, if reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. The Fund’s performance information reflects Artisan Partners’ contractual agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses to no more than 1.50%, which may be terminated at any time, has been in effect since the Fund’s inception and has had a material impact on the Fund’s performance, which would have been lower in its absence. See page 108 for a description of the index.

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

Spurred by a stream of see-sawing macro news, investor sentiment ran back and forth during the period from the Fund’s inception on March 29, 2010 through September 30, 2010. Towards the end of the period, concerns over European sovereign debt issues abated, results from the European bank stress tests were generally positive and improved economic data from the U.S. and China was published, driving the MSCI All Country World Index^SM out of negative territory to end up 0.57%. There were wide variances within the Index during this period with regional returns ranging from 8.88% for emerging markets to -1.57% in the Americas, and sector returns from 10.27% for telecom to -3.20% for financials.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund returned 2.30% for the period from its inception through September 30, 2010. Our relative outperformance was driven by our holdings in the consumer discretionary, financials and consumer staples sectors, which generated many of the portfolio’s top contributors. One of our standout performers was Chinese restaurant chain operator Country Style Cooking Restaurant Chain Co., Ltd. The company went public in September 2010 and we participated in the IPO. Due to the quick run-up in share price, we sold our position shortly after our purchase. Other top contributors included Brazilian commercial bank Banco Daycoval SA and Swiss packaged food company Nestle SA. On a regional basis, our emerging markets names were our greatest source of absolute and relative strength, with the strongest contribution from China and Brazil. Our European holdings, especially those in France and the United Kingdom, also fared better than those in the Index.

On the downside, our holdings in the energy and telecom sectors lagged those in the Index and detracted from relative results. Weakness in our Japanese and United States holdings also weighed on our results. Detractors from relative performance were Hong Kong life-style products holding company Esprit Holdings Limited, Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and Japanese oil and natural gas holding company INPEX CORPORATION. With the exception of INPEX CORPORATION, these positions were all sold during the period.

ARTISAN GLOBAL VALUE FUND (ARTGX)

INVESTMENT PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Artisan Global Value Fund employs a bottom-up investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of securities of undervalued U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Fund’s investment process is focused on identifying what the investment team considers to be high quality, undervalued businesses that offer the potential for superior risk/reward outcomes. The team’s in-depth research process focuses on four key investment characteristics:

Undervaluation. Determining the intrinsic value of the business is the heart of the team’s research process. The team believes that intrinsic value represents the amount that a buyer would pay to own a company’s future cash flows. The team seeks to invest at a significant discount to the team’s estimate of the intrinsic value of a business.

Business quality. The team seeks to invest in companies with histories of generating strong free cash flow, improving returns on capital and strong competitive positions in their industries.

Financial strength. The team believes that investing in companies with strong balance sheets helps to reduce the potential for capital risk and provides company management the ability to build value when attractive opportunities are available.

Shareholder-oriented management. The team’s research process attempts to identify management teams with a history of building value for shareholders.

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

Investors see-sawed between the fear of a double-dip recession and the hope for economic recovery during the year ended September 30, 2010, but global equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index^SM, ultimately posted a gain. By the end of the fiscal year, concerns related to the European debt crisis had eased, the results of the EU bank stress tests had been published and many companies had reported an improvement in earnings results.

GROWTH OF AN ASSUMED $10,000 INVESTMENT (12/28/1995 to 9/30/2010)

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (as of 9/30/2010)


Fund / Index	1-Year			3-Year			5-Year			10-Year			Since Inception
Artisan International Fund		3.27	%		-8.78	%		3.20	%		2.44	%		9.83	%

MSCI EAFE^® Index		3.27			-9.51			1.97			2.56			4.32

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

The MSCI EAFE^® Index was up 3.27% during the one-year period ended September 30, 2010. Month-by-month returns were evidence of continued volatility in international markets. Through much of the period, market sentiment was impacted by concerns about the sovereign debt issues within the EU, a possible economic slowdown in China and weakness in the euro. However, the generally positive results of the European bank stress tests and improved economic data from the U.S. and China helped boost investor sentiment in the final months of the fiscal year, which drove full period performance meaningfully higher. There was a wide margin between the best and worst performing market sectors in the MSCI EAFE^® Index. The consumer staples, materials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors each posted gains in excess of 10% during the period, while financials and utilities stocks fell more than 7%.

SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION

As a percentage of total net assets.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund ended the period with a return of 3.27%, performing in line with the MSCI EAFE^® Index, but trailing the MSCI EAFE^® Growth Index. Relative to the MSCI EAFE^® Index, we benefited from the outperformance of our stocks in the consumer discretionary, financials and technology sectors. Our exposure to emerging markets was beneficial as our Chinese holdings meaningfully outpaced the overall market. We also benefited from our underweight exposure to Japan, which was among the worst performing countries in the Index.

Multinational food company Nestle SA, Internet search engine operator Baidu, Inc., rail and freight services provider Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, gases and engineering company Linde AG and auto manufacturer Daimler AG were among our best performers during the period. On the downside, several of our European financial holdings were among our biggest decliners over the past year. Included in that group were ING Groep N.V. (Netherlands) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Italy), as well as three positions that we sold during the period, Societe Generale (France), The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland (Ireland) and Credit Suisse Group AG (Switzerland).

FUND CHANGES

We attempt to identify companies with attractive growth rates, trading at reasonable valuations, with exposure to the long-term themes we have identified.

Sales during the period included Accor S.A., ICICI Bank Limited, Novartis AG, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., Smith & Nephew PLC and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.

MSCI EAFE^® Index		3.27			-9.51			1.97			6.42

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

International markets were volatile over the one-year period ended September 30, 2010, as investors tried to digest a swell of see-sawing macro news. Towards the end of the period, concerns over European sovereign debt issues abated and improved economic data from the U.S. and China was published. International small-cap stocks fared better in this environment than their large-cap counterparts and the MSCI EAFE^® Small Cap Index ended the period up 8.04%. Each sector in the MSCI EAFE^® Small Cap Index posted a gain with telecom and materials emerging as sector leaders with double digit returns. Gains for the financials sector were modest, due in part to declines in European banks.

As a percentage of total net assets.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund ended the period with a return of 12.60%, outpacing the MSCI EAFE^® Small Cap Index and MSCI EAFE^® Index (which gained 3.27%). Our outperformance relative to the MSCI EAFE^® Small Cap Index stemmed mainly from our holdings in the consumer staples, industrials and financials sectors, which generated many of the portfolio’s top contributors. These included Turkish beverage bottler Coca-Cola Icecek AS, Hong Kong-based Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited, Chinese personal hygiene product company Hengan International Group Company Limited and Swiss elevator company Schindler Holding AG. Regionally, relative to the Index, we benefited from our Pacific Basin holdings, especially in Hong Kong and Japan, which outpaced those in the Index and our emerging markets names, led by Turkey, China and Egypt, were positive.

On the downside, our consumer discretionary names, particularly those in the United Kingdom, hindered absolute and relative results and our European names in general also underperformed those in the MSCI EAFE^® Small Cap Index. Among the detractors were British food manufacturer Premier Foods PLC, German home improvement retailer Praktiker Bau-und Heimwerkermaerkte Holding AG, Swiss dental implant company Nobel Biocare Holding AG and U.K. internet gaming company 888 Holdings PLC. With the exception of Premier Foods PLC, these positions were all sold during the period.

ARTISAN MID CAP FUND (ARTMX)

INVESTMENT PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Artisan Mid Cap Fund employs a bottom-up investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of primarily U.S. mid-cap growth companies. The Fund’s investment process focuses on two distinct areas – security selection and capital allocation.

The Fund’s investment team attempts to identify companies that possess franchise characteristics that are selling at attractive valuations and benefiting from an accelerating profit cycle.

Franchise characteristics. These are characteristics that the team believes help to protect a company’s stream of cash flow from the effects of competition. The team looks for companies with at least two of the following characteristics: low cost production capability, possession of a proprietary asset, dominant market share or a defensible brand name.

Attractive valuations. Through its own fundamental research, the team estimates the amount a buyer would pay to buy the entire company (the company’s “intrinsic value” or “private market value”) and considers whether to purchase a stock if it sells at a discount to that estimate.

Accelerating profit cycle. The team tries to invest in companies that are well positioned for long-term growth, at an early enough stage in their profit cycle to benefit from the increased cash flows produced by the profit cycle.

Based on the investment team’s fundamental analysis of a company’s profit cycle, portfolio holdings develop through three stages. Garden^SM investments are small positions in the early part of their profit cycle that will warrant a more sizeable allocation once their profit cycle accelerates. Crop^SM investments are positions that are being increased to a full weight because they are moving through the strongest part of their profit cycle. Harvest^SM investments are positions that are being reduced as they near the team’s estimate of full valuation or their profit cycle begins to decelerate.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, strong earnings reports and evidence that economic and business conditions were steadily improving lifted mid-cap stocks higher. The Russell Midcap^® Index gained 17.54% in the period. Growth stocks were slightly favored versus value stocks in the mid-cap market segment as the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index advanced 18.27%, while the Russell Midcap^® Value Index returned 16.93%. Within the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index, most sectors earned double-digit percentage gains. Among the strongest performing sectors were telecommunication services, consumer discretionary and technology, each rising more than 20%. The energy and utilities sectors were the only groups to finish with losses.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund returned 21.71% in the period, outperforming the Russell Midcap^® and Russell Midcap^® Growth indices. The technology, energy and industrials sectors were key sources of strength for the Fund. In the technology sector, returns were led by ARM Holdings PLC, a developer and licenser of microprocessors, Citrix Systems, Inc., a provider of application delivery software and MercadoLibre, Inc., a Latin American e-commerce company, among others. Top contributors in the energy and industrials sectors included energy services and equipment provider Smith International, Inc., Cummins Inc., a manufacturer of diesel engines, and Precision Castparts Corp., a producer of complex metal components.

Our holdings in the health care and financials sectors were sources of weakness compared to the benchmark. Our underperformers in the health care sector included NuVasive, Inc., a medical device company, and athenahealth, Inc., a clinical billing software provider. Our results in the financials sector suffered from our lack of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index and a negative return by derivatives exchange operator CME Group Inc.

FUND CHANGES

The most notable changes to the portfolio during the period were increased exposures to the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors and a reduced weighting in the health care sector. In the industrials sector, we added to our position in transportation and logistics services provider C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and purchased engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. and electrical products manufacturer Cooper Industries plc. In the consumer discretionary sector, we added to our position in air compressor manufacturer BorgWarner Inc. and purchased apparel company Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation and casino and resort operator Wynn Resorts, Limited. Other purchases included medical equipment manufacturer Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, electronic commerce business operator GSI Commerce, Inc. and auto systems and components manufacturer Gardner Denver, Inc.

Our reduced weighting in the health care sector was due in part to the sale of C.R. Bard, Inc. and a reduced position in Cerner Corporation. In addition to these sales, our new purchases were funded in part by the sales of Smith International, Inc., Hansen Natural Corporation, Analog Devices, Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, and Agrium Inc., among others.

ARTISAN MID CAP VALUE FUND (ARTQX)

INVESTMENT PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund employs a bottom-up investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of stocks of medium-sized U.S. companies that the investment team believes are undervalued, in solid financial condition and have attractive business economics. The team believes companies with these characteristics are less likely to experience eroding values over the long term.

Attractive valuation. The team values a business using what it believes are reasonable expectations for the long-term earnings power and capitalization rates of that business. This results in a range of values for the company that the team believes would be reasonable. The team generally will purchase a security if the stock price falls below or toward the lower end of that range.

Sound financial condition. The team favors companies with an acceptable level of debt and positive cash flow. At a minimum, the team tries to avoid companies that have so much debt that management may be unable to make decisions that would be in the best interests of the companies’ shareholders.

Attractive business economics. The team favors cash-producing businesses that it believes are capable of earning acceptable returns on capital over the company’s business cycle.

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

The Russell Midcap^® and Russell Midcap^® Value indices gained 17.54% and 16.93%, respectively, during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010. Over the last year, economic uncertainties and market volatility have run high, with sector leaders and laggards alternating frequently. For the period as a whole, the telecom sector was up the strongest, returning more than 30%. The traditionally cyclical sectors, including consumer discretionary, technology and industrials, also posted strong gains, while the more traditionally defensive sectors, including utilities and consumer staples, trailed.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

With a return of 12.35%, the Fund participated in the up market during the period but fell short of the Russell Midcap^® Value and Russell Midcap^® Indices. Our top contributors for the year were a broad group, coming from the following sectors: energy (oil and gas exploration and production company Cimarex Energy Co.); technology (human resources specialist Hewitt Associates, Inc.); consumer discretionary (fast food chain Burger King Holdings, Inc. and toy company Mattel, Inc.); industrials (light fixtures company Acuity Brands, Inc. and electrical and electronic products manufacturer Hubbell Inc.); and financials (property and casualty insurers Arch Capital Group Ltd. and Alleghany Corporation). Relative to the Russell Midcap^® Value Index, we benefited from positive stock selection in health care, led by drug distributor Cardinal Health, Inc., which we sold during the period, and managed care services provider CIGNA Corporation. Our underweight position in the energy sector and within the financial sector, our lack of investment in banks and minimal exposure to diversified financials, also helped relative returns.

Our underperformance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Value Index over the last year was largely due to weaknesses among our industrials and consumer discretionary holdings. Within the industrials sector, uniform rental company Cintas Corporation, aerospace and defense company L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., commercial information provider The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, and engineering and construction company Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. were among our biggest relative detractors. Tax preparer H&R Block, Inc. accounted for the majority of our underperformance in the consumer discretionary sector. Our overweight position in the relatively weak technology sector and our lack of investment in the strong materials and telecom sectors also weighed on relative returns.

FUND CHANGES

We seek companies that reflect the three characteristics of our investment process: attractive valuation, sound financial condition and attractive business economics. During the period, we initiated a number of new positions, including semiconductor equipment supplier Applied Materials, Inc., professional services company Towers Watson & Co., electronic production equipment provider SYNOPSYS, INC., and oil and gas exploration and production companies Southwestern Energy Company and Range Resources Corporation.

These purchases were partially funded with the sales of EOG Resources, Inc., PPL Corporation, Robert Half International Inc., GATX Corporation and BorgWarner Inc., among others.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

With a return of 10.19%, the Fund participated in the up market, outpacing the Russell 1000^® Value Index, but falling just short of the Russell 1000^® Index.

Relative to the Russell 1000^® Index our financials holdings were our biggest source of strength, driven by the outperformance of our insurance companies. Holding company Berkshire Hathaway Inc., property and casualty insurers Arch Capital Group Ltd., Alleghany Corporation, The Chubb Corporation, The Progressive Corporation and The Allstate Corporation, and title insurer Fidelity National Financial, Inc. all contributed strongly to returns. Our minimal investment in the diversified financials industry was another positive relative factor within the financials sector. We also benefited from positive stock selection in the consumer staples and health care sectors. Within these two sectors, top contributors included retailer Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., food manufacturers Nestle SA and Kraft Foods Inc., managed care services provider CIGNA Corporation, biopharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. and orthopedic company Stryker Corporation, which we sold during the period.

Our relative underperformance over the last year was largely due to weaknesses among our industrials and technology holdings. Within the industrials sector, aerospace and defense companies Lockheed Martin Corporation and Raytheon Company were our weakest performers. Personal computer maker Hewlett-Packard Company, software developer Microsoft Corporation, technology distributor Ingram Micro Inc. and mobile phone maker Nokia Corporation, which we sold during the period, were our biggest relative detractors in the technology sector. Our underweight position in the strong consumer discretionary sector also weighed on relative returns.

We sold a number of consumer companies over the last year, including consumer staples companies The Kroger Co., Philip Morris International Inc., Nestle and Kraft, and consumer discretionary companies McDonald’s Corporation, Comcast Corporation, Omnicom Group Inc. and Mohawk Industries, Inc. Other sales included ACE Limited, Corning Incorporated and Alleghany.

The Fund took part in the strong market, gaining 11.80% in the period, but underperformed the Russell 2000^® Index and Russell 2000^® Growth indices. Compared with the Russell 2000^® Growth Index, the Fund benefited from positive stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. Our top contributors to return in these sectors were independent electricity transmission company ITC Holdings Corp., solid waste services company Waste Connections, Inc., advanced composites maker Hexcel Corporation, specialty retailer PETsMART, Inc. and automotive maintenance and repair services provider Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Other leading performers included, business development company Ares Capital Corporation, data integration software provider Informatica Corporation, and digital entertainment solutions provider Rovi Corporation.

The information technology sector was an area of relative weakness. Detracting from our performance in this sector were Euronet Worldwide, Inc., an electronic payments provider, Tessera Technologies, Inc., a provider of miniaturization technologies for the electronics industry, and Vistaprint N.V., an internet-based provider of short-run print services. Other detractors were natural gas producer Comstock Resources, Inc., biopharmaceutical company AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Investment Technology Group, Inc., a provider of securities trading tools and software.

FUND CHANGES

The biggest sector-level shifts in the portfolio during the period were increased positions in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors and decreased exposures to the energy and consumer staples sectors. In the consumer discretionary sector, we added to our positions in auto replacement parts distributor LKQ Corporation and auto repair retail store operator Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. In the technology sector, we increased our position in network developer Atheros Communications, Inc. and purchased electronic learning software provider Blackboard Inc. and computer connectivity services provider LogMeIn, Inc.

In the energy sector, our reduced weighting was due in part to the sales of Atwood Oceanics, Inc. and Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. Our consumer staples weighting decreased due in part to sales of Bare Escentuals, Inc. and Flowers Foods, Inc.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

With a return of 9.64%, the Fund participated in the up market but fell short of the Russell 2000^® Value and Russell 2000^® Indices. Our technology holdings were our biggest source of strength relative to the Russell 2000^® Value Index. Printer vendor Lexmark International, Inc. and software companies Manhattan Associates, Inc., Lawson Software, Inc., MicroStrategy Incorporated and Progress Software Corporation were our top contributors in the sector. Relative to the Russell 2000^® Value Index, we also benefited from the outperformance of our consumer staples and utilities holdings and within the financial sector, from strong stock selection within the insurance industry and our lack of investment in banks. Top contributors within these sectors included supermarket chain operator Ruddick Corporation, utilities IDACORP, Inc., Cleco Corporation, and El Paso Electric Company, and insurance companies Zenith National Insurance Corp. and Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd.

Our underperformance over the last year relative to the Russell 2000^® Value Index was largely due to weaknesses among our industrials and energy holdings. Within the industrials sector, education company School Specialty, Inc., contact center outsourcing services provider Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated and heavy civil construction company Granite Construction Incorporated were our weakest performers. Oil and natural gas exploration and production company Comstock Resources, Inc., marine contractor Cal Dive International, Inc. and contract drilling services provider Seahawk Drilling, Inc. were our biggest detractors in the energy sector. Our materials, health care and consumer discretionary stocks also underperformed those in the Russell 2000^® Value Index. H.B. Fuller Company, AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. and International Speedway Corporation were among our weaker performers in those sectors.

FUND CHANGES

During the period, we repurchased ManTech International Corporation and Atwood Oceanics, Inc., two names that we sold in 2009. Other purchases included fuel products and services provider World Fuel Services Corporation, hotel investment company Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, marine shipping company Tidewater Inc. and oilfield services and equipment provider Gulfmark Offshore, Inc.

Two of our holdings received takeout offers during the period: Zenith National Insurance Corp. by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and National Dentex Corporation by GDC Holdings, Inc. We received cash for our shares in Zenith and exited our position in National Dentex. Other sales during the period included El Paso Electric Company, Olin Corporation, International Speedway Corporation and OM Group, Inc.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Each Fund has offered shares of capital stock of the class designated Investor Shares since the commencement of its operations. International Fund, International Value Fund and Mid Cap Fund began offering Institutional Shares on July 1, 1997, October 1, 2006 and July 1, 2000, respectively. Institutional Shares are sold to institutional investors meeting certain minimum investment requirements.

Each class of shares has equal rights with respect to portfolio assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters involving only that class.

Income, expenses not specific to a particular class and realized and unrealized gains and losses were allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares. Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as transfer agency fees, shareholder communication expenses and registration fees, were allocated directly to that class.

Each Fund is managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is wholly owned by Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“Artisan Holdings”). Artisan Global Equity Fund is subadvised by Artisan Partners UK LLP (“Artisan UK”). A wholly-owned subsidiary of Artisan Holdings is the founding member of Artisan UK.

Artisan Emerging Markets Fund, also a series of Artisan Funds, Inc., commenced operations on June 26, 2006 and has offered Institutional Shares since inception. It began offering Advisor Shares on June 2, 2008. The financial statements of both classes of Artisan Emerging Markets Fund are presented in separate reports.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds in effect during the period covered by the financial statements, which were in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

(a)

Security valuation – The net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares of each class of each Fund was determined as of the close of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) each day the NYSE was open for regular session trading. The NAV of each class of shares was determined by dividing the value of each Fund’s securities and other assets attributed to that class, less its liabilities attributed to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class of that Fund.

In determining NAV, each equity security traded on a securities exchange, including over-the-counter securities, was valued at the closing price as of the time of valuation on the exchange or market designated by the Fund’s accounting agent or pricing vendor as the principal exchange (the “principal exchange”). The closing price provided by the pricing vendor for a principal exchange may differ and may represent information such as last sales price, an official closing price, a closing auction price or other information, depending on exchange or market convention. Absent closing price information from the principal exchange as of the time of valuation, the security was valued using the closing price on another exchange on which the security traded (if such price is made available by the pricing vendor) or the most recent bid quotation on the principal exchange or, if not available, another exchange or in the over-the-counter market, except that securities listed on the London Stock Exchange were valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the time of valuation. Short-term investments, other than repurchase agreements, maturing within sixty days from the valuation date were valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which prices were not readily available were valued by Artisan Funds’ valuation committee (the “valuation committee”) at a fair value determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of Artisan Funds’ board of directors (the “board of directors”). A price was considered to be not readily available if, among other things, the valuation committee believed that the price determined as described in the preceding paragraph did not reflect a fair value of the security.

Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and International Value Fund generally invested a significant portion, and perhaps as much as substantially all, of their total assets in securities principally traded in markets outside the U.S. Opportunistic Growth Fund and Opportunistic Value Fund had the ability to invest, and did invest, in securities principally traded outside the U.S. The foreign markets in which the Funds invested were sometimes open on days when the NYSE was not open and the Funds did not calculate their NAVs, and sometimes were not open on days when the Funds did calculate their NAVs. Even on days on which both the foreign market and the NYSE were open, several hours may have passed between the time when trading in the foreign market closed and the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAVs. That was generally the case for markets in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Europe, Asia, Australia and other far eastern markets; the regular closing time of foreign markets in North and South America was generally the same as the closing time of the NYSE and the time as of which the Funds calculated their NAVs.

The valuation committee concluded that a price determined under the Funds’ valuation procedures was not readily available if, among other things, the valuation committee believed that the value of the security might have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market in which the security was principally traded but before the time for determination of NAV (“subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include a company-specific development (for example, announcement of a merger that is made after the close of the foreign market), a development that might affect an entire market or region (for example, imposition of foreign exchange controls by a foreign government), a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an impact on investor expectations worldwide) or a significant change in one or more U.S. securities indexes. Artisan Funds monitored for subsequent events using several tools. An indication by any of those tools of a potential material change in the value of securities resulted in either a meeting of the valuation committee, which considered whether a subsequent event had occurred and whether local market closing prices continued to represent fair values for potentially affected non-U.S. securities, and/or a valuation based on information provided by a third party research service. This third party research service was used to assist in determining estimates of fair values for foreign securities. That service utilized statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value.

Estimates of fair values utilized by the Funds as described above may differ from the value realized on the subsequent sale of those securities and from quoted or published prices for those securities. The differences may have been material to the NAV of the applicable Fund or to the information presented.

Foreign stocks as an asset class may underperform U.S. stocks, and foreign stocks may be more volatile than U.S. stocks. Risks relating to investment in foreign securities (including, but not limited to, depository receipts and participation certificates) include: currency exchange rate fluctuation; less available public information about the issuers of securities; less stringent regulatory standards; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; and country risks including less liquidity, high inflation rates, unfavorable economic practices and political instability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three broad levels:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risks, etc. In circumstances where securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as result of significant market movements following the close of local trading are classified as level 2.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining a fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments by major security type, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values as of September 30, 2010:

⁽¹⁾See Fund’s Schedule of Investments for sector or country classifications.

As of September 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 securities.

(c)

Taxes – No provision was made for federal income taxes or excise taxes since each Fund intends to (i) comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and (ii) distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income as well as net realized gains from the sale of investment securities. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of Fund shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.

The Funds have analyzed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2007 through 2010) and have concluded that as of September 30, 2010, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

The Funds may be subject to taxes on realized gains from the sale of investment securities imposed by certain countries in which the Funds invest. The foreign tax expense, if any, was recorded on an accrual basis and is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of foreign tax owed is included in “Payable for foreign taxes” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

(d)

Portfolio transactions – In determining a Fund’s NAV, security transactions and shareholder transactions were accounted for no later than one business day after trade date, in accordance with applicable regulations. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions and shareholder transactions were recorded on trade date in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Net realized gains and losses on securities were computed on specific security lot identification.

(e)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

receivables for securities transactions, dividend and reclaim receivables and other receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates was included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

The Funds may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure on open payables and receivables. These foreign currency forward contracts, or spot contracts, generally settle within two business days. The Funds also may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities, although they generally do not do so. Foreign currency forward contracts were recorded at market value and any related realized and unrealized gains and losses were reported as foreign currency related transactions for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, these foreign exchange gains and losses were treated as ordinary income or loss. The Funds could be exposed to loss if the counterparties fail to perform under these contracts. For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Funds entered only into spot contracts.

Other foreign currency related transaction gains and losses may result from currency gains and losses realized from the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency related transactions arose from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.

(f)

Repurchase agreements – Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Adviser determined were creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the board of directors. Repurchase agreements were recorded at cost plus accrued interest and were collateralized in an amount greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest. Collateral (in the form of U.S. government securities) was held by the Funds’ custodian and in the event of default on the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase, the Funds had the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the proceeds from any sale of such collateral were less than the repurchase price, the Fund would have suffered a loss.

(g)	Depositary receipts – Each of the Funds may invest in depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are typically issued by a financial institution (a “depositary”), evidencing ownership interests in a security issued by an issuer and deposited with the depositary.

Equity-linked participation certificates – Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, International Fund, International Small Cap Fund, International Value Fund, Opportunistic Growth Fund, and Opportunistic Value Fund may invest in equity-linked participation certificates. Equity-linked participation certificates are derivative securities which are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

An investment in an equity-linked participation certificate typically entitles the holder to a return equal to the market return of the underlying security or securities, subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution.

(i)

Transfer agent and authorized agent fees – Each Fund paid fees to, and reimbursed expenses of, the Funds’ transfer agent. In addition, the Funds have authorized certain financial services companies, broker-dealers, banks or other authorized agents, and in some cases, other organizations designated by an authorized agent (with their designees, collectively “authorized agents”) to accept purchase, exchange and redemption orders for Investor Shares on the Funds’ behalf. Many authorized agents charged a fee for accounting and shareholder services that the agent provided to Fund shareholders on the Fund’s behalf. Those services typically included recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts and other services. The fee was either based on the number of accounts to which the intermediary provided such services, or was a percentage (as of September 30, 2010 up to 0.40% annually) of the average value of Fund shares held in such accounts. Each Fund paid a portion of such fees, which are intended to compensate the authorized agent for its provision of services of the type that would be provided by the Funds’ transfer agent or other service providers if the shares were registered on the books of the Funds’ transfer agent. The balance of the fees incurred was paid by the Adviser. The Funds’ expenses incurred for services provided by authorized agents were included in “Transfer agent fees” in the Statements of Operations. The table below shows the fees and expenses to the Funds’ transfer agent and the fees to authorized agents incurred by each class of each Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010:

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(l)

Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds have entered into contracts in which the Funds agree to indemnify the other party or parties against various potential costs or liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. No claim had been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Funds.

(m)

Other – Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, was generally recorded on the ex-dividend date. In some cases, the information was not available to the Fund on the ex-dividend date. In such cases, which may have included private placements and foreign securities, dividends were recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as reliable information became available to the Funds. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, were generally recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Interest income was reported on the accrual basis. Distributions to shareholders were recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses attributable to Artisan Funds were generally allocated to each Fund based on net assets. However, other expense allocation methodologies were used, depending on the nature of the expense item. Expenses attributable to a particular Fund or class were allocated directly to that Fund or class.

The character of income and net realized gains and losses may differ in some instances for financial statement and tax purposes and may result in reclassification of permanent differences among certain capital accounts to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend and capital gain distributions.

Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, International Fund, International Small Cap Fund and International Value Fund generally imposed a 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less. Those redemption fees were recorded as a reduction in the cost of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

shares redeemed and had the primary effect of increasing paid-in capital. Each Fund reserved the right to waive or reduce the 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less at its discretion when the Fund believed such waiver was in the best interests of the Fund, including but not limited to when it determined that imposition of the redemption fee was not necessary to protect the Fund from the effects of short-term trading. The Funds waived the fee on redemption of shares held by certain authorized agents or other Fund intermediaries and otherwise in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee, and to the extent that fee waiver is insufficient, to reimburse Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, and Opportunistic Growth Fund for any ordinary operating expenses in an amount sufficient to cause the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, including the management fee, to be not more than 1.50% of average daily net assets, annually. This contract continues through February 1, 2011, at which time the Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Adviser paid operating expenses on behalf of Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, and Opportunistic Growth Fund. Each of Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, and Opportunistic Growth Fund reimbursed the Adviser annually for operating expenses paid on its behalf up to 1.50% of average daily net assets, annually. The amount of operating expenses owed to the Adviser as of September 30, 2010, is included in payable for advisory fees and payable for operating expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, and Opportunistic Growth Fund.

The officers and director of Artisan Funds who are affiliated with the Adviser receive no compensation from the Funds.

Prior to April 1, 2010, each director who was not an affiliated person of the Adviser received an annual retainer of $170,000, payable quarterly, as well as reimbursement of expenses related to his duties as a director of Artisan Funds. The amount of the annual retainer increases by $10,000 with each new series of Artisan Funds. In addition, the non-interested chair of the board of directors received an annual retainer of $60,000, payable quarterly, and each chair of a board committee who was a non-interested director received an annual retainer of $30,000, payable quarterly. Effective April 1, 2010, each director who was not an affiliated person of the Adviser received an annual retainer of $180,000, payable quarterly, due to the commencement of operations of Global Equity Fund. The other additional annual retainer fees were unchanged. These fees were generally allocated to each of the Artisan Funds based on net assets, subject to a minimum allocation of $1,500 to each Fund per quarter.

Artisan Funds has adopted a deferred compensation plan for directors who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the directors under the plan, deferred amounts were invested in shares of the Artisan Funds as selected by the individual directors. Each Fund purchased shares of the Artisan Funds selected for deferral by the director in amounts equal to his investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets were included as a component of “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the plan did not affect the net assets of the Funds, and did not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the plan.

Shares of Artisan Funds were offered for sale by Artisan Distributors LLC (“Distributors”). Distributors is wholly owned by Artisan Holdings. All distribution expenses relating to the Funds were paid by the Adviser.

For the period October 1, 2009 to August 17, 2010, Artisan Funds paid an up-front fee of 0.05% and a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.10% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the current Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%.

The difference between cost of investments for financial reporting and cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security transactions (e.g., wash sale loss deferrals and passive foreign investment company transactions).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions were determined in accordance with income tax regulations that impose treatment that is different from the treatment that would result from the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for such items as net short-term gains, wash sale loss deferrals, passive foreign investment company transactions, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses and post-October losses. Gains on redemptions-in-kind for International Fund of $123,107,002 and Small Cap Value Fund of $2,870,281 were included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2010, and were not recognized for Federal income tax purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Artisan Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Artisan Global Equity Fund, Artisan Global Value Fund, Artisan International Fund, Artisan International Small Cap Fund, Artisan International Value Fund, Artisan Mid Cap Fund, Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund, Artisan Opportunistic Growth Fund, Artisan Opportunistic Value Fund, Artisan Small Cap Fund, and Artisan Small Cap Value Fund (eleven of the twelve portfolios constituting Artisan Funds, Inc.) (the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2010, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Artisan Global Equity Fund, Artisan Global Value Fund, Artisan International Fund, Artisan International Small Cap Fund, Artisan International Value Fund, Artisan Mid Cap Fund, Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund, Artisan Opportunistic Growth Fund, Artisan Opportunistic Value Fund, Artisan Small Cap Fund, and Artisan Small Cap Value Fund of Artisan Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2010, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Other Federal tax information (unaudited):

The Internal Revenue Code requires that shareholders be notified within 60 days of the Funds’ fiscal year-end of certain information regarding long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income and the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. This data is informational only. Every year in January, shareholders are sent a Form 1099-DIV which provides the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received during the calendar year. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of investment in the Funds.

Each Fund hereby designates the following amounts as (i) long-term capital gain distributions for purposes of the dividends paid deduction (including earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of Fund shares), (ii) the amount of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 that are considered qualified dividend income as defined in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, and (iii) the amount of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 that are eligible for the dividends received deduction available to certain corporate shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of Artisan Funds, you may incur transaction costs, including redemption fees, and you will incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

Actual Expenses

The first line under the name of each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the name of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line below each Fund’s name in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES ON MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS’ CLASSIFICATION

The discussions of each Fund included in this report include statistical information about the portfolios of each of the Funds. Except as otherwise noted, that information is as of September 30, 2010. That information will vary with changes in a Fund’s portfolio investments. The performance information for each Fund relative to its benchmark index discussed in this report was prepared by the Adviser using information reported by FactSet Databases (“FactSet”). For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular country, the Adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country as designated by its securities information vendors. The Adviser currently uses MSCI Inc. as its primary source and FactSet as a secondary source for this information. In the event (i) the Adviser’s securities information vendors do not assign a security to a particular country or if the published classification appears to be erroneous, or (ii) its primary vendor does not assign a security to a particular country and the secondary vendor has assigned a security to a particular country by using a methodology that is not the same as the methodology the primary vendor uses to assign a country, the Adviser assigns the security to a country using the primary vendor’s published criteria (to the extent available) or the Adviser’s own judgment. The primary information vendor’s criteria include the identity of the jurisdiction of the issuer’s incorporation, the main equity trading market for the issuer’s securities, the geographical distribution of the issuer’s operations and the location of the issuer’s headquarters. Country designations may change over time.

For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular sector and industry, the Adviser assigns securities in accordance with the sector and industry classifications of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS^®) developed by MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s (to the extent available) as a primary source and FactSet (to the extent available) as a secondary source for this information. In the event the Adviser’s securities information vendors do not classify a security to a particular sector or industry or if the published classification appears to be erroneous, the Adviser classifies the security according to its own judgment, using other securities information vendors, the company description and other publicly available information about the company’s peer group. Sector and industry classifications may change over time.

The names of portfolio securities reflected in this report are as reported by the Funds’ data providers, may not represent the legal name of the entity and, in some cases, are translations of non-English names.

Definition of Portfolio Statistic

Market Capitalization is the aggregate value of all of a company’s outstanding equity securities.

Descriptions of Indices

Each Fund’s performance is compared in this report to changes in one or more indices, including in all cases a broad-based index of changes in prices of securities in the markets in which the Fund invests. All of the indices are unmanaged and their returns include reinvested dividends. Unlike the Funds’ returns, the returns of each index do not include the payment of sales commissions or other expenses that would be incurred in the purchase or sale of the securities included in that index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Fair value pricing is not employed by market indices.

ARTISAN EMERGING MARKETS FUND

INSTITUTIONAL SHARES

INVESTMENT PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Artisan Emerging Markets Fund employs a fundamental research process to construct a diversified portfolio of emerging market companies. The team’s investment process is focused on identifying companies that are priced at a discount relative to the team’s estimate of their sustainable earnings.

•

Sustainable Earnings. The team believes that over the long term a stock’s price is directly related to the company’s ability to deliver sustainable earnings. The team determines a company’s sustainable earnings based upon financial and strategic analysis. The financial analysis of a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows focuses on identifying historical drivers of return on equity. The strategic analysis examines a company’s competitive advantages and financial strength to assess sustainability.

•

Valuation. The team believes that investment opportunities develop when businesses with sustainable earnings are undervalued relative to peers and historical industry, country and regional valuations. The team values a business and develops a price target based on their assessment of the business’s sustainable earnings and cash flow expectations and the team’s risk analysis.

•

Risk Analysis. The team believes that a disciplined risk framework allows greater focus on fundamental stock selection. The team incorporates its assessment of company-specific and macroeconomic risks into its valuation analysis to develop a risk-adjusted target price. The risk-rating assessment includes a review of the currency, interest rate, monetary and fiscal policy and political risks to which a company is exposed.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (as of 9/30/2010)


Fund / Index	1-Year			3-Year			Since Inception

The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current to most recent month-end performance information call 800.399.1770. The graph and table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or sale of Fund shares. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held by an investor for 90 days or less and, if reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. The Fund’s performance information reflects Artisan Partners’ contractual agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses to no more than 1.50%, which has been in effect since the Fund’s inception and has had a material impact on the Fund’s performance. Absent that expense waiver, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. See page 49 for a description of the index.

INVESTING ENVIRONMENT

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index^SM advanced 20.22% during the one-year period ended September 30, 2010. Though volatility was high throughout the year, emerging markets rallied in the latter part of the period after positive economic reports from China and a good outcome on the European bank stress tests eased investors’ concerns about a double-dip recession. From a regional perspective, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) was the strongest performing region as stocks in South Africa and Russia posted gains of approximately 30% and 13%, respectively. Strong results in Latin America were driven by a 24% gain by Mexican stocks and a 16% advance for Brazilian equities. Asia also put up strong numbers. Stocks in India advanced 27%, while those in China, Korea and Taiwan advanced approximately 12-15%.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund participated in the rally with a 17.94% return during the year, but fell short of the Index. We benefited from the strength of our holdings in China, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Turkey and Taiwan. Some of our top contributors in these countries were train-borne electrical systems provider Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric Co., Ltd., consumer products manufacturer Hypermarcas SA, rail freight transportation services provider Globaltrans Investment PLC, cement and building materials manufacturer PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk, investment and development bank Turkiye Sinai Kalkinma Bankasi A.S. and mobile handset manufacturer HTC Corporation.

On the downside, relative to the Index, we were negatively impacted by the underperformance of our holdings in Korea, South Africa and Kazakhstan. Our biggest decliners in Korea were educational programs provider MegaStudy Co., Ltd. and residential construction company Hyundai Development Company. In South Africa, our results were hindered by weakness in precious metals producer Gold Fields Limited and ship and transport provider Grindrod Limited. Our lone holding in Kazakhstan, oil and gas producer KazMunaiGas Exploration Production, was also among our biggest decliners.

FUND CHANGES

We always strive to identify stocks that possess unique access to growth and competitive advantages that will allow those companies to sustain earnings growth over the long term. Some of our more recent additions to the portfolio during the period included: Indian financial services provider LIC Housing Finance Limited, Brazilian retail and commercial bank Banco do Brasil S.A., Indian electricity generator Reliance Infrastructure Ltd., Brazilian software developer Totvs SA and Russian building materials producer LSR Group O.J.S.C. Our purchases were funded in part by the sales of Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A., Grindrod Limited, Itau Unibanco Holdings SA, Pearson Sistemas do Brasil SA and Tele Norte Leste Participacoes S.A.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund ended the period with a return of 3.54%, slightly outperforming the MSCI EAFE^® Index, but trailing the MSCI EAFE^® Growth Index. Relative to the MSCI EAFE^® Index, we benefited from the outperformance of our stocks in the consumer discretionary, financials and technology sectors. Our exposure to emerging markets was beneficial as our Chinese holdings meaningfully outpaced the overall market. We also benefited from our underweight exposure to Japan, which was among the worst performing countries in the Index.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund returned 22.00% in the period, outperforming the Russell Midcap^® and Russell Midcap^® Growth indices. The technology, energy and industrials sectors were key sources of strength for the Fund. In the technology sector, returns were led by ARM Holdings PLC, a developer and licenser of microprocessors, Citrix Systems, Inc., a provider of application delivery software and MercadoLibre, Inc., a Latin American e-commerce company, among others. Top contributors in the energy and industrials sectors included energy services and equipment provider Smith International, Inc., Cummins Inc., a manufacturer of diesel engines, and Precision Castparts Corp., a producer of complex metal components.

Our holdings in the health care and financials sectors were sources of weakness compared to the benchmark. Our underperformers in the health care sector included NuVasive, Inc., a medical device company, and athenahealth, Inc., a clinical billing software provider. Our results in the financials sector suffered from our lack of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) and a negative return by derivatives exchange operator CME Group Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements – September 30, 2010

Organization:

Artisan Funds, Inc. (“Artisan Funds”) was incorporated on January 5, 1995, as a Wisconsin corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Artisan Funds is a series comprised of twelve open-end, diversified mutual funds. Artisan Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund” or “Emerging Markets”), Artisan International Fund (“International Fund” or “International”), Artisan International Value Fund (“International Value Fund” or “International Value”) and Artisan Mid Cap Fund (“Mid Cap Fund” or “Mid Cap”), each a series of Artisan Funds (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), commenced operations on June 26, 2006, December 28, 1995, September 23, 2002 and June 27, 1997, respectively. Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.

Emerging Markets Fund offers shares of capital stock of two classes – Institutional Shares and Advisor Shares – and has offered Institutional Shares since the commencement of operations and began offering Advisor Shares on June 2, 2008. Advisor Shares are sold to employee benefit plans, clients of financial advisors, clients of sponsored programs and institutional or other investors. All investments and exchanges are subject to approval by the Fund. International Fund, International Value Fund and Mid Cap Fund offer shares of capital stock of two classes – Institutional Shares and Investor Shares – and have offered Investor Shares since the commencement of operations. International Fund, International Value Fund and Mid Cap Fund began offering Institutional Shares on July 1, 1997, October 1, 2006 and July 1, 2000, respectively. Institutional Shares are sold to institutional investors meeting certain minimum investment requirements.

Each class of shares has equal rights with respect to portfolio assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters involving only that class.

Each Fund is managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is wholly owned by Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“Artisan Holdings”).

Summary of significant accounting policies:

(a)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

its liabilities attributed to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class of that Fund.

Emerging Markets Fund, International Fund, and International Value Fund generally invested a significant portion, and perhaps as much as substantially all, of their total assets in securities principally traded in markets outside the U.S. The foreign markets in which the Funds invested were sometimes open on days when the NYSE was not open and the Funds did not calculate their NAVs, and sometimes were not open on days when the Funds did calculate their NAVs. Even on days on which both the foreign market and the NYSE were open, several hours may have passed between the time when trading in the foreign market closed and the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAVs. That was generally the case for markets in Europe, Asia, Australia and other far eastern markets; the regular closing time of foreign markets in North and South America was generally the same as the closing time of the NYSE and the time as of which the Funds calculated their NAVs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

foreign exchange controls by a foreign government), a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an impact on investor expectations worldwide) or a significant change in one or more U.S. securities indexes. Artisan Funds monitored for subsequent events using several tools. An indication by any of those tools of a potential material change in the value of securities resulted in either a meeting of the valuation committee, which considered whether a subsequent event had occurred and whether local market closing prices continued to represent fair values for potentially affected non-U.S. securities, and/or a valuation based on information provided by a third party research service. This third party research service was used to assist in determining estimates of fair values for foreign securities. That service utilized statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value.

(b)

Fair Value Measurements – Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurement, accounting standards clarify the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establish a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. In accordance with this standard, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three broad levels:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining a fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments by major security type, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values as of September 30, 2010:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of September 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 securities.

(e)

Foreign currency translation – Values of foreign investments, open foreign currency forward contracts, payables for capital gains taxes and cash denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of the time of determination of each Fund’s NAV on the day of valuation. Payables and receivables for securities transactions, dividend and reclaim receivables and other receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates was included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities, although they generally do not do so. Foreign currency forward contracts were recorded at market value and any related realized and unrealized gains and losses were reported as foreign currency related transactions for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, these foreign exchange gains and losses were treated as ordinary income or loss. The Funds could be exposed to loss if the counterparties fail to perform under these contracts. For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Funds entered only into spot contracts.

(f)

(g)	Depositary receipts – Each of the Funds may invest in depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are typically issued by a financial institution (a “depositary”), evidencing ownership interests in a security issued by an issuer and deposited with the depositary.

(h)

Equity-linked participation certificates – Emerging Markets Fund, International Fund, and International Value Fund may invest in equity-linked participation certificates. Equity-linked participation certificates are derivative securities which are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities. An investment in an equity-linked participation certificate typically entitles the holder to a return equal to the market return of the underlying security or securities, subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution.

(i)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(j)

(k)

(l)

Emerging Markets Fund, International Fund, and International Value Fund generally imposed a 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less. Those redemption fees were recorded as a reduction in the cost of shares redeemed and had the primary effect of increasing paid-in capital. Each Fund reserved the right to waive or reduce the 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less at its discretion when the Fund believed such waiver was in the best interests of the Fund, including but not limited to when it determined that imposition of the redemption fee was not necessary to protect the Fund from the effects of short-term trading. The Funds waived the fee on redemption of shares held by certain authorized agents or other Fund intermediaries and otherwise in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus.

Transactions with affiliates:

The Adviser, with which the officers and a director of Artisan Funds were affiliated, provided investment advisory and administrative services to the Funds. In exchange for those services, each Fund pays a monthly management fee to the Adviser as follows:

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee, and to the extent that fee waiver is insufficient, to reimburse Emerging Markets Fund for any ordinary operating expenses in an amount sufficient to cause the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, including the management fee, to be not more than 1.50% of average daily net assets, annually. This contract continues through February 1, 2011, at which time the Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Adviser paid operating expenses on behalf of the Advisor Shares of Emerging Markets Fund. Emerging Markets Fund reimbursed the Adviser annually for operating expenses paid on their behalf up to 1.50% of average daily net assets, annually. The amount of operating expenses owed to the Adviser as of September 30, 2010, is included in payable for advisory fees and payable for operating expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Emerging Markets Fund.

The officers and director of Artisan Funds who are affiliated with the Adviser receive no compensation from the Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

invested in shares of the Artisan Funds as selected by the individual directors. Each Fund purchased shares of the Artisan Funds selected for deferral by the director in amounts equal to his investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets were included as a component of “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the plan did not affect the net assets of the Funds, and did not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the plan.

(4)

Line of credit arrangement:

Artisan Funds is party to a line of credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), which expires in August 2011, under which each Fund may borrow up to $75 million, provided that such borrowing does not exceed the least of (a) 33 1/3% of its adjusted net assets, with adjusted net assets being total assets less total liabilities (excluding indebtedness for borrowed money), after giving effect to the loan (b) the maximum amount the Fund may borrow under applicable law, (c) the limitations included in the Fund’s prospectus, or (d) any limitations on borrowings in any agreement with any governmental authority or regulator; provided that the aggregate borrowings by all Artisan Funds may not exceed $100 million. For the period October 1, 2009 to August 17, 2010, Artisan Funds paid an up-front fee of 0.05% and a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.10% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the current Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%. Effective August 18, 2010, Artisan Funds paid a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.125% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the current Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%. For the periods October 1, 2009 to August 17, 2010, and August 18, 2010 to August 17, 2011, SSB agreed to waive 0.05% and 0.025%, respectively, of the commitment fee by reducing the Funds’ custody expenses. The use of the line of credit was generally restricted to temporary borrowing for extraordinary or emergency purposes. During the year ended September 30, 2010, there were no borrowings under the line of credit for Emerging Markets Fund, International Fund, International Value Fund, or Mid Cap Fund.

The tax characterization of ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

Gains on redemptions-in-kind for International Fund of $123,107,002 were included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2010, and were not recognized for Federal income tax purposes.

NOTES ON MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS’ CLASSIFICATION

The discussions of each Fund included in this report include statistical information about the portfolios of each of the Funds. Except as otherwise noted, that information is as of

September 30, 2010. That information will vary with changes in a Fund’s portfolio investments. The performance information for each Fund relative to its benchmark index discussed in this report was prepared by the Adviser using information reported by FactSet Databases (“FactSet”). For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular country, the Adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country as designated by its securities information vendors. The Adviser currently uses MSCI Inc. as its primary source and FactSet as a secondary source for this information. In the event (i) the Adviser’s securities information vendors do not assign a security to a particular country or if the published classification appears to be erroneous, or (ii) its primary vendor does not assign a security to a particular country and the secondary vendor has assigned a security to a particular country by using a methodology that is not the same as the methodology the primary vendor uses to assign a country, the Adviser assigns the security to a country using the primary vendor’s published criteria (to the extent available) or the Adviser’s own judgment. The primary information vendor’s criteria include the identity of the jurisdiction of the issuer’s incorporation, the main equity trading market for the issuer’s securities, the geographical distribution of the issuer’s operations and the location of the issuer’s headquarters. Country designations may change over time.

The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current to most recent month-end performance information call 866.574.1770. The graph and table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or sale of Fund shares. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held by an investor for 90 days or less and, if reflected, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. The Fund’s performance information reflects Artisan Partners’ contractual agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses to no more than 1.50%, which has been in effect since the Fund’s inception and has had a material impact on the Fund’s performance. Absent that expense waiver, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. See page 24 for a description of the index.

The Fund participated in the rally with a 17.75% return during the year, but fell short of the Index.

All investments and exchanges are subject to approval by the Fund. The financial statements of Institutional Shares are presented in a separate report.

Each class of shares has equal rights with respect to portfolio assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters involving only that class.

The Fund is managed by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is wholly owned by Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“Artisan Holdings”).

Summary of significant accounting policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of Artisan Funds in effect during the period covered by the financial statements, which were in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

(a)

Security valuation – The net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares of each class of the Fund was determined as of the close of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) each day the NYSE was open for regular session trading. The NAV of each class of shares was determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities and other assets attributed to that class, less its liabilities attributed to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class of the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

price information from the principal exchange as of the time of valuation, the security was valued using the closing price on another exchange on which the security traded (if such price is made available by the pricing vendor) or the most recent bid quotation on the principal exchange or, if not available, another exchange or in the over-the-counter market, except that securities listed on the London Stock Exchange were valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the time of valuation. Short-term investments, other than repurchase agreements, maturing within sixty days from the valuation date were valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Emerging Markets Fund generally invested a significant portion, and perhaps as much as substantially all, of its total assets in securities principally traded in markets outside the U.S. The foreign markets in which the Fund invested were sometimes open on days when the NYSE was not open and the Fund did not calculate its NAV, and sometimes were not open on days when the Fund did calculate its NAV. Even on days on which both the foreign market and the NYSE were open, several hours may have passed between the time when trading in the foreign market closed and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. That was generally the case for markets in Europe, Asia, Australia and other far eastern markets; the regular closing time of foreign markets in North and South America was generally the same as the closing time of the NYSE and the time as of which the Fund calculated its NAV.

The valuation committee concluded that a price determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures was not readily available if, among other things, the valuation committee believed that the value of the security might have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market in which the security was principally traded but before the time for determination of NAV (“subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include a company-specific development (for example, announcement of a merger that is made after the close of the foreign market), a development that might affect an entire market or region (for example, imposition of foreign exchange controls by a foreign government), a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an impact on investor expectations worldwide) or a significant change in one or more U.S. securities indexes. Artisan Funds monitored for subsequent events using several tools. An indication by any of those tools of a potential material change in the value of securities resulted in either a meeting of the valuation committee, which considered whether a subsequent event had occurred and whether local market closing prices continued to represent fair values for potentially affected non-U.S. securities, and/or a valuation based on information provided by a third party research service. This third party research service was used to assist in determining estimates of fair values for foreign securities. That service utilized statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Estimates of fair values utilized by the Fund as described above may differ from the value realized on the subsequent sale of those securities and from quoted or published prices for those securities. The differences may have been material to the NAV of the Fund or to the information presented.

Foreign stocks as an asset class may underperform U.S. stocks, and foreign stocks may be more volatile than U.S. stocks. Risks relating to investments in foreign securities (including, but not limited to, depositary receipts and participation certificates) include: currency exchange rate fluctuation; less available public information about the issuers of securities; less stringent regulatory standards; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; and country risks including less liquidity, high inflation rates, unfavorable economic practices and political instability.

The risks of foreign investments typically are greater in emerging and less developed markets. For example, political and economic structures in these less developed countries may be new and changing rapidly, which may cause instability and greater risk of loss. Their securities markets may be less developed, and securities in those markets are generally more volatile and less liquid than those in the developed markets. Emerging market countries also are more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluations, which could hurt their economies and securities markets. Certain emerging markets also may face other significant internal or external risks, including a heightened risk of war, and ethnic, religious and racial conflicts. In addition, governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth of companies in those markets. High levels of national debt tend to make such markets also heavily reliant on foreign capital and, therefore, vulnerable to capital flight.

(b)

Fair Value Measurements – Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurement, accounting standards clarify the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establish a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. In accordance with this standard, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three broad levels:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

value the Fund adjusted as result of significant market movements following the close of local trading are classified as level 2.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining a fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values as of September 30, 2010:


	Level 1 - Quoted Prices		Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs		Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total

⁽¹⁾

See Fund’s Schedule of Investments for country classifications.

As of September 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 securities.

(c)

Taxes – No provision was made for federal income taxes or excise taxes since the Fund intends to (i) comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and (ii) distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income as well as net realized gains from the sale of investment securities. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of Fund shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.

The Fund has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all remaining open tax years (fiscal years 2007 through 2010) and has concluded that as of September 30, 2010, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

The Fund may be subject to taxes on realized gains from the sale of investment securities imposed by certain countries in which the Fund invests. The foreign tax expense, if any, was recorded on an accrual basis and is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of foreign tax owed is included in “Payable for foreign taxes” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(d)

Portfolio transactions – In determining the Fund’s NAV, security transactions and shareholder transactions were accounted for no later than one business day after trade date, in accordance with applicable regulations. However, for financial reporting purposes, security transactions and shareholder transactions were recorded on trade date in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Net realized gains and losses on securities were computed on specific security lot identification.

(e)

Foreign currency translation – Values of foreign investments, open foreign currency forward contracts, payables for capital gains taxes and cash denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of the time of determination of the Fund’s NAV on the day of valuation. Payables and receivables for securities transactions, dividend and reclaim receivables and other receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income were translated into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange as of 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates was included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure on open payables and receivables. These foreign currency forward contracts, or spot contracts, generally settle within two business days. The Fund also may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities, although they generally do not do so. Foreign currency forward contracts, if any, were recorded at market value and any related realized and unrealized gains and losses were reported as foreign currency related transactions for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, these foreign exchange gains and losses were treated as ordinary income or loss. The Fund could be exposed to loss if the counterparties fail to perform under these contracts. For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund entered only into spot contracts.

Other foreign currency related transaction gains and losses may result from currency gains and losses realized from the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency related transactions arose from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates.

(f)

Repurchase agreements – The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Adviser determined were creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the board of directors. Repurchase agreements were recorded at cost plus accrued interest and were collateralized in an amount greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest. Collateral (in the form of U.S. government securities) was held by the Fund’s custodian and in the event of default on the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

obligation of the counterparty to repurchase, the Fund had the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the proceeds from any sale of such collateral were less than the repurchase price, the Fund would have suffered a loss.

(g)	Depositary receipts – The Fund may invest in depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are typically issued by a financial institution (a “depositary”), evidencing ownership interests in a security issued by an issuer and deposited with the depositary.

(h)

Equity-linked participation certificates – The Fund may invest in equity-linked participation certificates. Equity-linked participation certificates are derivative securities which are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities. An investment in an equity-linked participation certificate typically entitles the holder to a return equal to the market return of the underlying security or securities, subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. The Fund did not invest in participation certificates during the year ended September 30, 2010.

(i)

Transfer agent and authorized agent fees – The Fund paid fees to, and reimbursed expenses of, the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, the Fund has authorized certain financial services companies, broker-dealers, banks or other authorized agents, and in some cases, other organizations designated by an authorized agent (with their designees, collectively “authorized agents”) to accept purchase, exchange and redemption orders for Advisor Shares on the Fund’s behalf. Many authorized agents charged a fee for accounting and shareholder services that the agent provided to Fund shareholders on the Fund’s behalf. Those services typically included recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts and other services. The fee was either based on the number of accounts to which the authorized agent provided such services, or was a percentage (as of September 30, 2010, up to 0.40% annually) of the average value of Fund shares held in such accounts. The Fund paid a portion of such fees, which are intended to compensate the authorized agent for its provision of services of the type that would be provided by the Fund’s transfer agent or other service providers if the shares were registered on the books of the Fund’s transfer agent. The balance of the fees incurred was paid by the Adviser. The Fund’s expenses incurred for services provided by authorized agents were included in “Transfer agent fees” in the Statement of Operations. The table below shows the portion of the total fees and expenses to the Fund’s transfer agent and the fees to authorized agents incurred by each class of the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010.


	Year Ended 9/30/10
	Fees and Expenses to Transfer Agent		Fees to Authorized Agents		Total
Institutional Shares	$	19,796	$	-	$	19,796
Advisor Shares		62,732		367,893		430,625

(j)	Commission recapture – The Fund had the ability to direct portfolio trades to various brokers that have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. The Fund received no commission recapture rebates for the year ended September 30, 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(l)

Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered into contracts in which the Fund agrees to indemnify the other party or parties against various potential costs or liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. No claim had been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Fund.

(m)

Other – Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, was generally recorded on the ex-dividend date. In some cases, the information was not available to the Fund on the ex-dividend date. In such cases, which may have included private placements and foreign securities, dividends were recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as reliable information became available to the Fund. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, were generally recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Interest income was reported on the accrual basis. Distributions to shareholders were recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses attributable to Artisan Funds were generally allocated to each Fund based on net assets. However, other expense allocation methodologies were used, depending on the nature of the expense item. Expenses attributable to a particular Fund or class were allocated directly to that Fund or class.

Emerging Markets Fund generally imposed a 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less. Those redemption fees were recorded as a reduction in the cost of shares redeemed and had the primary effect of increasing paid-in capital. The Fund reserved the right to waive or reduce the 2% redemption fee on shares held 90 days or less at its discretion when the Fund believed such waiver was in the best interests of the Fund, including but not limited to when it determined that imposition of the redemption fee was not necessary to protect the Fund from the effects of short-term trading. The Fund waived the fee on redemption of shares held by certain authorized agents or other Fund intermediaries and otherwise in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus.

(3)

Transactions with affiliates:

The Adviser, with which the officers and a director of Artisan Funds were affiliated, provided investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. In exchange for those services, Emerging Markets Fund paid a monthly management fee to the Adviser at the annual rate of 1.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

whether to renew, revise or discontinue it. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Adviser paid operating expenses on behalf of the Advisor Shares of Emerging Markets Fund. Emerging Markets Fund reimbursed the Adviser annually for operating expenses paid on its behalf up to 1.50% of average daily net assets, annually. The amount of operating expenses owed to the Adviser as of September 30, 2010, is included in payable for operating expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Emerging Markets Fund.

The officers and director of Artisan Funds who are affiliated with the Adviser receive no compensation from Artisan Funds.

Prior to April 1, 2010, each director who was not an affiliated person of the Adviser received an annual retainer of $170,000, payable quarterly, as well as reimbursement of expenses related to his duties as a director of Artisan Funds. The amount of the annual retainer increases by $10,000 with each new series of Artisan Funds. In addition, the non-interested chair of the board of directors received an annual retainer of $60,000, payable quarterly, and each chair of a board committee who was a non-interested director received an annual retainer of $30,000, payable quarterly. Effective April 1, 2010, each director who was not an affiliated person of Artisan Funds or the Adviser received an annual retainer of $180,000, payable quarterly, due to the commencement of operations of Global Equity Fund. The other additional annual retainer fees were unchanged. These fees were generally allocated to each of the Artisan Funds based on net assets, subject to a minimum allocation of $1,500 to each Fund per quarter.

Artisan Funds has adopted a deferred compensation plan for directors who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from Artisan Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the directors under the plan, deferred amounts were invested in shares of Artisan Funds as selected by the individual directors. The Fund purchased shares of Artisan Funds selected for deferral by the director in amounts equal to his investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets were included as a component of “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the plan did not affect the net assets of the Fund, and did not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the plan.

(4)

Line of credit arrangement:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

paid an up-front fee of 0.05% and a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.10% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the current Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%. Effective August 18, 2010, Artisan Funds paid a commitment fee at the annual rate of 0.125% on the unused portion of the line of credit and interest was charged on any borrowings at the current Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%. For the periods October 1, 2009 to August 17, 2010, and August 18, 2010 to August 17, 2011, SSB agreed to waive 0.05% and 0.025%, respectively, of the commitment fee by reducing the Funds’ custody expenses. The use of the line of credit was generally restricted to temporary borrowing for extraordinary or emergency purposes. During the year ended September 30, 2010, there were no borrowings under the line of credit for the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Artisan Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Artisan Emerging Markets Fund (one of the twelve portfolios constituting Artisan Funds, Inc.) (the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Artisan Emerging Markets Fund of Artisan Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Other Federal tax information (unaudited):

The Internal Revenue Code requires that shareholders be notified within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year-end of certain information regarding long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income and the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. This data is informational only. Every year in January, shareholders are sent a Form 1099-DIV which provides the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received during the calendar year. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of investment in the Fund.

The Fund hereby designates the following amounts as (i) long-term capital gain distributions for purposes of the dividends paid deduction (including earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of Fund shares), (ii) the amount of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 that are considered qualified dividend income as defined in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, and (iii) the amount of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 that are eligible for the dividends received deduction available to certain corporate shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

Actual Expenses

The first line below the Fund’s name in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the name of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line below the Fund’s name in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

NOTES ON MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS’ CLASSIFICATION

The discussion of the Fund included in this report includes statistical information about the portfolio of the Fund. Except as otherwise noted, that information is as of September 30, 2010. That information will vary with changes in the Fund’s portfolio investments. The performance information for the Fund relative to its benchmark index discussed in this report was prepared by the Adviser using information reported by FactSet Databases (“FactSet”). For the purposes of assigning portfolio securities to a particular country, the Adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country as designated by its securities information vendors. The Adviser currently uses MSCI Inc. as its primary source and FactSet as a secondary source for this information. In the event (i) the Adviser’s securities information vendors do not assign a security to a particular country or if the published classification appears to be erroneous, or (ii) its primary vendor does not assign a security to a particular country and the secondary vendor has assigned a security to a particular country by using a methodology that is not the same as the methodology the primary vendor uses to assign a country, the Adviser assigns the security to a country using the primary vendor’s published criteria (to the extent available) or the Adviser’s own judgment. The primary information vendor’s criteria include the identity of the jurisdiction of the issuer’s incorporation, the main equity trading market for the issuer’s securities, the geographical distribution of the issuer’s operations and the location of the issuer’s headquarters. Country designations may change over time.

The names of portfolio securities reflected in this report are as reported by the Fund’s data providers, may not represent the legal name of the entity and, in some cases, are translations of non-English names.

Description of Index

The Fund’s performance is compared in this report to changes in a broad-based index of changes in prices of securities in the market in which the Fund invests. This index is unmanaged and its returns include reinvested dividends. Unlike the Fund’s returns, the returns of the index do not include the payment of sales commissions or other expenses that would be incurred in the purchase or sale of the securities included in the index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Fair value pricing is not employed by market indices.

The index to which the Fund is compared is the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index^SM, a market-weighted index of companies in emerging markets.

Under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, pre-approval of non-audit services may be waived provided that: 1) the aggregate fees for all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by the registrant to its principal accountant during the fiscal year in which services are provided, 2) such services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of engagement as non-audit services and 3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the audit committee of the registrant and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

(h) The audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
