    875 E. Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 800 Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 Proxy Statement General Information We are providing you this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors to be voted at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. The Annual Meeting can be accessed by visiting edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/mddmoibn, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote online. Please note this is the only means of accessing the Annual Meeting and only stockholders as of the record date will be able to access the Annual Meeting. Representatives from our Board of Directors, certain of our executive officers, and representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm will be available at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

  12. (Name of Person(s) Filing Proxy Statement, if Other Than The Registrant)

    Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Annual Meeting Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a printed set of materials? We provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. Information about how to access and review our proxy materials is included in the notice you received in the mail. The notice also explains how you may submit your vote over the Internet. You will not receive printed copies of our proxy materials unless you request them by following the instructions on the notice. If you own shares of stock in more than one account—for example, in a joint account with your spouse and in your individual brokerage account—you may receive more than one notice. To vote all of your shares, please follow the instructions provided on each notice you receive. What information does the notice contain? The notice provides information about: ▪the date, time and virtual format of the Annual Meeting; ▪the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and our Board’s recommendation with regard to each item; ▪the website where our proxy materials can be viewed; ▪instructions on how to request a paper copy of the proxy materials; and ▪instructions on how to vote by Internet, by mail or during the virtual Annual Meeting. What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? There are three proposals to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting. ▪The election of nine directors to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders ▪An advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation ▪The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 Our Board is not aware of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting. If any other matter should be properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented by all valid proxy cards in accordance with their best judgment. How does the Board recommend I vote? Our Board recommends that you vote: ▪FOR each of the nominees for election to the Board; ▪FOR the approval of named executive officer compensation; and ▪FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. What shares can be voted at the Annual Meeting? All holders of our common stock at the close of business on April 9, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote in connection with the Annual Meeting. On that day, we had the following numbers of shares outstanding:

  13. (Name of Person(s) Filing Proxy Statement, if Other Than The Registrant)

    | Class A common stock | 70,993,257 | | Class B common stock | 1,147,029 | | Class C common stock | 8,917,476 | | Total shares of common stock | 81,057,762 |

  14. (Name of Person(s) Filing Proxy Statement, if Other Than The Registrant)

    Each share of Class A, Class B and Class C common stock entitles its holder to one vote. The holders of each class of our common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders. Pursuant to our stockholders agreement, a three-member stockholders committee, currently consisting of Jason A. Gottlieb (Chief Executive Officer and President), Eric R. Colson (Executive Chair and Chair of the Board) and Charles J. Daley, Jr. (Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), has an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the shares of Class B common stock and those shares of Class A common stock that we have granted to, and are held by, our employees. Those shares that are subject to the stockholders agreement represented approximately 9.2% of the combined voting power of our common stock as of the Record Date, though the percentage of shares actually voted by the stockholders committee in connection with the Annual Meeting may be less than 9.2%. For more information on our stockholders agreement and stockholders committee, see “Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Transactions in Connection with our IPO—Stockholders Agreement”. How do I hold my stock? Most of our stockholders hold shares as beneficial owner through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name on the records of our transfer agent. There are distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially, which are highlighted below. ▪Stockholder of Record. If you hold stock that is registered directly in your name on the records of our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are a stockholder of record. ▪Beneficial Owner. If you hold stock in an account through a broker, bank or similar institution, you are considered a beneficial owner of shares held in street name. How do I vote? If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in one of three ways. ▪By Internet. Go to www.astproxyportal.com/ast/18158 and follow the instructions for Internet voting. You will need the control number located on your notice or proxy card, as applicable. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. If you choose to vote by Internet, you do not need to return a proxy card. To be valid, your vote by Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET, on June 2, 2026. ▪By Mail. If you request a printed copy of the proxy materials, you will receive a proxy card. You may then vote by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided. To be valid, your vote by mail must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET, on June 2, 2026. ▪Virtually at the Annual Meeting. You may vote at the Annual Meeting. (See “How can I attend and vote my shares at the virtual Annual Meeting?” below.) If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you will receive voting instructions from the institution holding your shares. The availability of telephone or Internet voting will depend upon that particular institution’s voting processes. You may also attend and vote at the Annual Meeting if you register in advance. See “How can I attend and vote my shares at the virtual Annual Meeting?” below. How many votes must be present to transact business at the Annual Meeting? To conduct business at the Annual Meeting, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast must be present or represented by proxy at the virtual meeting. This is called a quorum. Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum. If I submit a proxy by Internet or mail, how will my shares be voted? If you properly submit your proxy by Internet or mail and do not subsequently revoke your proxy, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign, date and return a proxy card but do not give voting instructions, your shares will be voted: ▪FOR each of the nominees for election to the Board; ▪FOR the approval of named executive officer compensation; and ▪FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. If I am the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide voting instructions, can my broker still vote my shares? If you hold shares in street name and do not provide specific voting instructions, your broker may vote your shares with respect to the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm because this is considered a “routine” matter. However, the other proposals are considered “non-routine” matters, which means that your broker may not vote your shares on these proposals without receiving voting instructions from you. When your broker submits its proxy on routine matters, but does not vote on other matters, a broker non-vote occurs with respect to those matters not voted upon. What is the vote required for each proposal? With respect to the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the election of each of the nine nominees. This means that the nine nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected regardless of whether the number of votes received by any such nominee constitutes a majority of the number of votes cast. All of the other proposals require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will be counted as shares entitled to vote and therefore will have the effect of negative votes with respect to each proposal requiring a majority vote. Broker non-votes will not be counted as shares entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors and the advisory vote on our named executive officers’ compensation and therefore will have no effect on the voting results. How can I attend and vote my shares at the virtual Annual Meeting? If you are a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you can attend as well as vote at the virtual Annual Meeting by visiting edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/mddmoibn and entering the meeting password and the control number listed on your Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and would like to attend and vote at the virtual Annual Meeting, you must register in advance. To register, you must obtain a legal proxy from the institution holding your shares. You must then submit a request for registration to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC by: (1) email to proxy@equiniti.com; (2) facsimile to 718.765.8730, or (3) mail to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, Attn: Proxy Tabulation Department, 1110 Centre Pointe Curve, Suite 101, Mendota Heights, MN 55120. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and received by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on June 2, 2026. Please contact your broker for more information. How can I change my vote or revoke a proxy? If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke a proxy at any time prior to the virtual Annual Meeting by submitting a written notice of revocation or a proxy bearing a later date to the attention of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 875 East Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 800, Milwaukee, WI 53202, no later than the deadline specified on the notice or proxy card, or by voting at the virtual Annual Meeting. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may change your vote or revoke a proxy in accordance with the instructions provided by the institution through which you hold your shares. Will I be able to ask questions during the virtual Annual Meeting?

  15. (Name of Person(s) Filing Proxy Statement, if Other Than The Registrant)

    Stockholders will be able to transmit questions through the virtual meeting website. The Company will answer appropriate questions during the meeting or by following up with a stockholder if the stockholder provides contact information when transmitting the question through the virtual meeting website. How can I obtain technical support during the virtual Annual Meeting? If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting webcast, please refer to the “Application Help” link available on the log in page. Where and when will the voting results be available? We will file the official voting results on a Form 8-K within four business days following the Annual Meeting. If the final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K when they become available. Who pays for the expenses of this proxy solicitation? We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies. Proposal 1: Election of Directors Under our amended and restated bylaws, our Board sets the number of directors who may serve on the Board. The size of our Board is currently set at nine directors. On the recommendation of the Governance and Sustainability Committee, each of our nine current directors is nominated for re-election for a one-year term expiring at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director will hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier resignation or removal. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of individuals than the nine nominees named in this proxy statement. Holders of proxies solicited by this proxy statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed or, if no direction is made, for the election of the Board’s nine nominees. If any nominee is unable or declines to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders may vote for a nominee designated by the Board to fill the vacancy. The Board may also determine to leave the vacancy temporarily unfilled or reduce the size of the Board in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws. Under the terms of our stockholders agreement, our stockholders committee is required to vote the shares subject to the agreement for the election of each of Mr. Barger and Mr. Colson. Under the agreement, we are required to use our best efforts to elect Mr. Barger and Mr. Colson, which efforts must include soliciting proxies for, and recommending that our stockholders vote in favor of, the election of each. The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the nominees. DIRECTOR NOMINEES

Multani are independent directors. In addition, Tench Coxe, who was a director until his term on the Board expired at our 2025 Annual Meeting on June 4, 2025, had previously been determined by the Board to be independent. The Board presently consists of nine directors, seven of whom are independent. BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE Our Board believes there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing board leadership and that given the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate, the right board leadership structure may change over time as circumstances warrant. The Board will discuss and consider the matter from time to time as circumstances change and, subject to our amended and restated bylaws, has the flexibility to modify our Board leadership structure as it deems appropriate. Mr. Colson currently serves as Chair of the Board and Ms. DiMarco serves as Lead Independent Director.

    The Board believes this leadership structure is the most appropriate structure for the Company at this time because it promotes an effective balance between the Board’s independent oversight of the business and management’s day-to-day operational leadership. COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD The Board conducts its business through meetings of the Board and its committees. The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Sustainability Committee. Each committee operates in accordance with a written charter, which is approved by the Board. The charters are available on our website at www.apam.com. The current members and chairs of the committees are:

    Audit Committee The Audit Committee is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is comprised solely of directors who meet the independence requirements under the NYSE listing standards and the Exchange Act, and who are “financially literate” under the NYSE rules. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee has “accounting or related financial management expertise” and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”. The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to, among other matters: ▪the integrity and quality of our financial statements; ▪our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; ▪the independent auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance; and ▪our internal audit function. Governance and Sustainability Committee The Governance and Sustainability Committee is comprised solely of directors who meet the independence requirements under the NYSE listing standards. The responsibilities of the Governance and Sustainability Committee include: ▪making recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of candidates for service on the Board and the suitability of proposed nominees as directors; ▪periodically reviewing the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and recommending changes to the Board, as needed; ▪overseeing the evaluation of the Board and its committees; and ▪overseeing the Company’s approach to sustainability matters that are significant to the Company. Compensation Committee Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent under the NYSE listing standards. Among other things, the Compensation Committee: ▪reviews and approves, or makes recommendations to our Board with respect to, the compensation of our executive officers; ▪oversees and makes recommendations to our Board with respect to incentive compensation plans; and ▪makes recommendations to our Board with respect to director compensation. BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS During 2025, our Board held five meetings, the Audit Committee held eight meetings, the Compensation Committee held six meetings and the Governance and Sustainability Committee held six meetings. As a matter of policy, it is expected that all directors should make every effort to attend meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees of which they are members. During 2025, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees of which he or she was a member. Executive sessions of our independent directors are generally held in connection with each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Our lead independent director presides over the executive sessions of independent directors. We encourage all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Six of our seven directors serving at the time attended the 2025 annual meeting. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2025 were Jennifer A. Barbetta, Tench Coxe (until June 4, 2025), Stephanie G. DiMarco (beginning June 4, 2025), and Jeffrey A. Joerres (Chair). Each member of the Compensation Committee during 2025 was an independent director under the rules of the NYSE and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. None of the members of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the Company during 2025. During 2025, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has or had an executive officer serving on our Board. In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into agreements with the limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings. Information about the agreements, and transactions thereunder, are more fully discussed in “Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Transactions in Connection with our IPO”. Members of our Compensation Committee from time to time invest in the firm’s investment vehicles, including mutual funds, Artisan-sponsored private funds or Artisan-branded collective investment trusts. These transactions are more fully discussed in “Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Investments in our Funds.” DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee is responsible for periodically reviewing non-employee director compensation and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the full Board. In connection with this review, the Compensation Committee considers information provided by McLagan, our compensation consultant, including data regarding the total compensation paid to directors at peer companies, as well as information on the individual components of that compensation. The objective of our director compensation program is to compensate our highly qualified non-employee directors for their time, efforts and contributions, and to attract highly qualified non-employee director candidates for potential future service on the Board. For fiscal year 2025, the director compensation program entitled non-employee directors to a cash component, designed to compensate directors for their service on the Board, and an equity component, designed to align the interests of the directors with those of the Company’s stockholders. For 2025, the standard equity component of the Company’s director compensation program consisted of $125,000 of restricted stock units for each of the non-employee directors awarded under the Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. 2023 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan. Each outstanding restricted stock unit entitles the holder to dividend equivalent rights on one outstanding share of Class A common stock. The shares of Class A common stock underlying the restricted stock units will be delivered on the earlier to occur of (i) a change in control of the Company and (ii) the termination of the director’s service on the Board. During 2025, each of Ms. Barbetta, Mr. Barger, Ms. DiMarco, Mr. Joerres and Ms. Multani was entitled to receive a cash payment of $75,000, paid in four quarterly installments. Our independent Chair of the Board was entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $125,000. The chair of our Audit Committee was entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $50,000, and the chairs of each of the Compensation Committee and Governance and Sustainability Committee were entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $40,000. Each of Ms. Barbetta, Mr. Barger, Ms. DiMarco, Mr. Joerres and Ms. Multani elected to receive the value of this cash compensation in the form of additional restricted stock units. As a result, an additional number of restricted stock units were granted to each of them in January 2025, the value of which equaled the amount of cash compensation to which each director was entitled. One-quarter of the units awarded to each director in lieu of cash compensation vested in each quarter of 2025. Tench Coxe’s term on the Board expired at our 2025 Annual Meeting, which was held on June 4, 2025. For his service during 2025, Mr. Coxe received the equity component of the 2025 director compensation program, as well as a cash payment of $37,500, which represented the cash component prorated for his period of service on the Board. Upon his departure, his 54,227 restricted stock units were canceled and the Class A common shares underlying the restricted stock units were delivered to him. Mr. Crawford was appointed to the Board effective July 2, 2025. For his service during 2025, Mr. Crawford received a cash payment of $37,500, which represented payment of the 2025 cash component of the director compensation program, prorated for his period of service on the Board.

    2025 Executive Compensation Overview In March 2025, we announced that Jason Gottlieb, then President, would succeed Eric Colson as Chief Executive Officer, and that Mr. Colson would become Executive Chair, effective following the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders on June 4, 2025. At the annual meeting, Mr. Gottlieb was elected to the Board of Directors and Mr. Colson became Chair of the Board, succeeding Stephanie DiMarco, who transitioned to Lead Independent Director. The 2025 compensation of Mr. Colson and Mr. Gottlieb reflects this mid-year transition in roles and responsibilities, including Mr. Colson’s assumption of an active and engaged Executive Chair role. The core elements of our NEOs’ compensation are cash-based salary, a performance-based cash award and long-duration equity awards, one-half of which contain career vesting provisions. For 2025, performance-based compensation comprised 95% of each of Mr. Gottlieb’s and Mr. Colson’s total compensation. For our other NEOs, performance-based compensation ranged from 88% to 90% of total compensation. The following table shows the elements of compensation paid to our NEOs with respect to 2025, 2024 and 2023. The amounts in this table vary from the data and reporting conventions required by SEC rules in the Summary Compensation Table.
