<description><![CDATA[Artisan international funds purchase Participation certificates, equity-linked securities that allow investors to gain economic exposure to a security of a non-U.S. company without a direct 
investment in that security. Participation certificates typically are issued by a bank or broker-dealer. The bank or broker-dealer has an obligation to pay a Fund an amount based on the change in value of the underlying security at the time the participation certificate is redeemed.   I believe this is a major reason why they have such disproportionate dividend distributions compared to other international funds.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[No, the fund did not really drop 18% today.   It was the capital gains distribution.   The cash or extra shares will show up in your account tomorrow.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have had most of my 401k in this fund.   There are about 30 funds that I am allowed to choose and this one has done well over the years and is my favorite.   The International funds are doing well also.

From the begenning of January, the Russell 2000(index of smaller companies) has not advanced much.   Comparably, this fund has decreased more in value since the begenning of the year but is in line with the index.

My guess is that the energy(oil prices) are weighing against the fund.. 

My two cents for 2007 is that it is going to be a good year.   My game plan:   If the feds can keep the interest rate unchanged with inflation holding, we will see an increase.   If the feds start raising interest rates, I will convert funds to cash acount. 

Good Luck.]]></description>
