MESSAGE TO OUR INVESTORS
Semi-Annual Financial Statements as at June 30, 2010 1
CI Investments Inc., the Manager of the Artisan Portfolios, appoints independent auditors to
audit the Portfolios’ annual financial statements. Under Canadian securities laws (National
Instrument 81-106), if an auditor has not reviewed the semi-annual financial statements, this
must be disclosed in an accompanying notice.
The Portfolios' independent auditors have not performed a review of these semi-annual
financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Canadian Institute of
Chartered Accountants.
The Artisan Portfolios Board of Governors was voluntarily established in 2004.
The Board of Governors acts as an independent governance body of all Artisan Portfolios,
providing impartial judgment on conflicts of interest with a view to the best interests of the
Artisan Portfolios and Artisan Portfolios investors. The Board of Governors recommends
the best course of action to achieve a fair and reasonable result on any conflict of interest
issues, and United Financial takes into account its recommendation in accordance with its
fiduciary duty to the Artisan Portfolios. All of the members of the Board are independent of
United Financial.
The Board of Governors mandate is set out in a separate charter and reviewed annually by
the Board to ensure its mandate conforms to the expectations and requirements of
Canadian securities regulators. Along with dealing with conflicts of interest, the mandate
provides that the Board acts as an audit committee for the Artisan Portfolios for the purpose
of reviewing the financial statements of the Artisan Portfolios with the auditors of the
Artisan Portfolios.
The Board also reviews and discusses on a regular basis matters including compliance of the
Artisan Portfolios with United Financial’s relevant policies and procedures, approval of the
Artisan Portfolios’ auditors and the fees paid to those auditors, and the performance of the
Board and its members.
The Board of Governors adheres to the guidelines set out by Canadian securities regulators
in National Instrument 81-107 Independent Review Committee for Mutual Funds which
requires all mutual funds in Canada to have independent review committees.
Members of the Board of Governors are compensated as recommended by the Canadian
securities regulators and as set out in its mandate. These expenses are paid out of the assets
of the Artisan Portfolios.
The members of the Board of Governors are:
William Harding, Managing Partner, Alpine Asset Advisors AG
Governor since June 2005
Stuart P. Hensman, Corporate Director
Governor since December 2004
Christopher M. Hopper, President, KLQ Mechanical Ltd.
Governor since May 2007
Sharon M. Ranson, President, The Ranson Group
Governor since December 2004
Your Artisan Portfolios Board of Governors is pleased to report on its activities in respect
of the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2010 and to date. The Governors are appointed
pursuant to the Declaration of Trust governing the Artisan Portfolios.
The Governors have reviewed, commented on and approved the United Financial Code of
Ethics and Conduct, which establishes rules of conduct designed to ensure fair treatment of
the Artisan Portfolios’ securityholders and that, at all times, the interests of the Artisan
Portfolios and their securityholders are placed above personal interests of employees, officers
and directors of the Manager and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, the subadvisors, and
the Governors, through the application of the highest standards of integrity and ethical
business conduct. The Code of Ethics and Conduct requires the prior clearance of personal
trades and restricts the ability of staff to trade any securities held by the Artisan Portfolios.
The objective is not only to remove any potential for real conflict of interest but to avoid any
perception of conflict. The Manager's year 2009 report on compliance with the Code of Ethics
and Conduct and other relevant policies has been provided to the Governors in a timely and
satisfactory manner.
The Governors report that management has been open and cooperative, permitting the
Governors to meet with subadvisors, to meet with individual department heads and personnel
to review control mechanisms and compliance procedures, including those relating to the
personal securities trading activity of employees, and to consider other matters that affect
the Artisan Portfolios. During 2010, the Governors also acted as the audit committee of the
Artisan Portfolios. The audit committee reviewed, with the Artisan Portfolios’ auditors, the
planning, scope and results of the audit of the financial statements of the Artisan Portfolios
for the year 2009. In March 2010, the Board of Governors received and accepted the 2009
Annual Financial Statements of the Artisan Portfolios.

1. THE ARTISAN PORTFOLIOS
The Artisan Portfolios are open-end investment unit trusts established on the dates noted
below and governed by a Master Declaration of Trust dated July 26, 2004, as amended and
restated. Each is referred to individually as an “Artisan Portfolio” or a “Portfolio” and
collectively as the “Artisan Portfolios” or the “Portfolios”.
The Artisan Portfolios Date Established
Artisan Most Conservative Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan Conservative Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan Moderate Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan Growth Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan High Growth Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan Maximum Growth Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan Canadian T-Bill Portfolio January 13, 1998
Artisan New Economy Portfolio* August 4, 2000
*commenced operations on November 1, 2000
The manager and trustee of the Artisan Portfolios is CI Investments Inc. (the “Manager” and
the “Trustee”).
Each of the Artisan Portfolios offer Class A units and Class F units. Class A units are available
to all investors. Class F units are available only to investors who participate in certain
programs or are members of certain groups, which are described in the Portfolios’ simplified
prospectus. Class F units became available to investors on September 1, 2007.
The Artisan Portfolios are distributed by principal distributors who have the exclusive right
to distribute in the jurisdictions in which they are appropriately registered. These principal
distributors are affiliates of the Manager within the meaning of applicable securities
legislation. For further information, please refer to the Artisan Portfolios’ simplified prospectus.
The Artisan Portfolios invest in units of other prospectus-qualified mutual funds
(individually an “Underlying Fund” or collectively the “Underlying Funds”) as identified in
the Artisan Portfolios’ simplified prospectus.
The Statement of Investment Portfolio and Schedule of Fees for each of the Portfolios are as
at June 30, 2010 and the Statements of Net Assets are as at June 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009. The Statements of Operations, the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Schedules
of Portfolio Unit Transactions for each Portfolio are for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and
2009. The Portfolio Specific Financial Instruments Risks for each of the Portfolios are as at
June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, where applicable.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”). Significant accounting policies used
in preparing the semi-annual financial statements are consistent with those used in
preparing the annual financial statements. The semi-annual financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Portfolios’ December 31, 2009 annual financial statements.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with current period
presentation.
(a) Valuation of Investments
Canadian GAAP requires the fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market
to be measured based on an investment’s bid/ask price depending on the investment
position (long/short).
For the purpose of processing unitholder transactions, net asset value is calculated based on
the closing market price of investments (referred to as “Net Asset Value”), while for financial
statement purposes net assets are calculated based on bid/ask price of investments (referred
to as “Net Assets”). The Portfolios invest only in units of Underlying Funds. The Underlying
Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds’ manager on
the valuation date for the purpose of processing unitholder transactions and for financial
statement purposes; therefore a comparison between the Net Asset Value per unit and Net
Assets per unit is not required for the Portfolios.
Underlying Funds are valued on each business day at their Net Asset Value as reported by
the Underlying Funds’ manager.
3. UNITHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Units issued and outstanding represent the capital of each Portfolio.
Each Portfolio is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable, transferable units
of each class. Generally the Portfolios have no restrictions or specific capital requirements,
except for the minimum subscription/redemption amounts. The relevant changes pertaining
to subscriptions and redemptions of Portfolio units are disclosed in the Statements of
Changes in Net Assets. In accordance with the objectives and risk management polices
outlined in Note 11, the Portfolios endeavor to invest subscriptions received in appropriate
investments while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions through utilizing a
short-term borrowing facility or disposal of investments when necessary.
4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES
CI Investments Inc. is the Manager of the Portfolios and, in consideration for management
fees, provided management services required in the day-to-day operations of the Portfolios
including management of the investment portfolios of the Portfolios.
Management fees are calculated as an annual percentage of the total net asset value of
Class A and Class F units of the Portfolio at the end of each business day.
The Manager bears all of the operating expenses of the Portfolios (other than certain taxes,
borrowing costs and certain new governmental fees) in return for a fixed annual
administration fee. Expenses directly attributable to a class are charged to that class. Other
expenses are allocated to each class proportionately based upon the relative total net asset
value of each class.
Administration fees are calculated as a fixed annual percentage of the net asset value of each
class of a Portfolio at the end of each business day.
The management fees reported in the Statements of Operations of each Portfolio are net of
the management fees and operating expenses paid by its Underlying Funds, if any.
Refer to Portfolio specific schedules in the financial statements for management fee and
administration fee rates.
ARTISAN PORTFOLIOSNotes to the Financial Statements as at June 30, 2010 (unaudited)
353535Semi-Annual Financial Statements as at June 30, 2010
5. MANAGEMENT FEE REBATES
During the reporting period the Manager received management fee rebates from the
Underlying Funds. The management fee rebates are included in “Management fee rebate
receivable” and in “Management fee rebate” as reflected in the Statements of Net Assets and
Statements of Operations of each Portfolio, respectively.
6. INCOME TAXES
The Portfolios qualify as mutual fund trusts under the provisions of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and are not subject to tax on net income, including net realized capital gains for
the taxation year, which is paid or payable to unitholders at the end of the taxation year.
However, such part of each Portfolio’s taxable income and net realized capital gains that is
not so paid or payable to unitholders will be taxable to that Portfolio. Income tax on net
realized capital gains not paid or payable will generally be recoverable by virtue of refunding
provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and provincial income tax legislation,
as redemptions occur. It is the intention of each Portfolio to distribute all net taxable income
and sufficient net realized capital gains so that the Portfolio will not be subject to income
tax. Occasionally, a Portfolio may distribute more than it earns. This excess distribution is a
return of capital and is not taxable to unitholders.
Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future net realized capital gains.
Non capital losses arising in taxation years up to 2003 may be carried forward seven years.
Non capital losses arising in taxation years 2004 and 2005 may be carried forward ten years.
Non capital losses arising in taxation years after 2005 may be carried forward twenty years.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Bank of Nova Scotia has a significant interest in CI Financial Corp., the parent company
of the Manager. The Portfolios may have indirect holdings in Bank of Nova Scotia and/or CI
Financial Corp.
The Portfolios invest in units of Underlying Funds, and these transactions are not subject to
transaction costs, thus the Portfolios did not pay brokerage commissions to Bank of
Nova Scotia during the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
8. REINVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS
When a Portfolio pays a distribution to a unitholder, it will be paid in the same currency in
which the units are held. Distributions are automatically reinvested without charge in the
same Portfolio unless written notice requesting cash payments is provided to the Manager.
The Manager may change the distribution policy at its discretion.
9. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
On February 13, 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that
the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) will be required in 2011 for
all publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. IFRS will replace Canadian GAAP.
On June 30, 2010, the AcSB proposed deferral of the IFRS changeover date by one year.
Based on the proposed change the IFRS would become effective for interim and annual
financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2012 instead of
January 1, 2011. The proposed change is expected to be finalized in September 2010.
Based on the Manager’s current evaluation of the differences between IFRS and Canadian
GAAP, the Manager currently does not expect any impact to net asset value or net asset value
per unit, at this time, as a result of the transition to IFRS, and expects that the main impact
will be on the financial statements, where additional disclosures or changes in presentation
will be required. Further updates on the progress in the implementation of the IFRS
transition plan and any changes to reporting will be provided during the implementation
period leading up to the transition date.
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The categorization of financial instruments is as follows: investments are classified as held
for trading and are stated at fair value. Due from brokers, interest and dividends receivable,
subscriptions receivable and other receivables are designated as loans and receivables.
They are recorded at amortized cost which approximates their fair value due to their
short-term nature. Similarly, redemptions payable, due to brokers, accrued management
fees, accrued expenses and other payables are designated as financial liabilities and are
carried at their amortized cost which approximates their fair value, due to their
short-term nature. Financial liabilities are generally paid within three months.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK
Risk Management
The Portfolios invest in units of Underlying Funds and therefore they are indirectly exposed
to financial instruments risks noted below. To minimize the potential adverse effects of
those risks the Manager reviews on a regular basis, but not limited to, the Underlying Funds’
investment mandate, returns, assets, investment management process, and risk levels as well
as overall fit of the Underlying Funds within the Portfolios’ stated objectives. Based on the
results of the review the Manager may mitigate some of the risks by adjusting the weightings
of the Underlying Funds, or by removing or adding other Underlying Funds.
The Underlying Funds are exposed to a variety of financial instrument risks: credit risk,
liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, currency risk and other price
risk). The level of risk to which each Underlying Fund is exposed depends on the investment
objective and the type of investments the Underlying Fund holds. The value of investments
within a portfolio can fluctuate daily as a result of changes in prevailing interest rates,
economic and market conditions and company specific news related to investments held by
the Underlying Fund.
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk).
The value of each investment is influenced by the outlook of the issuer and by general
economic and political conditions, as well as industry and market trends. All securities,
including investments in Underlying Funds, present a risk of loss of capital.
Other assets and liabilities are monetary items that are short-term in nature and therefore
are not subject to significant other price risk.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of interest-bearing investments will fluctuate
due to changes in prevailing levels of market interest rates. Each Portfolio may be exposed
to indirect interest rate risk if the Underlying Funds invest in debt securities and/or income
trusts as the Underlying Funds will be affected by changes in applicable interest rates.
If interest rates fall, the fair value of existing debt securities may increase due to the increase
in yield. Alternatively, if interest rates rise, the yield of existing debt securities decrease which
may then lead to a decrease in their fair value. The magnitude of the decline will generally
be greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities.
Interest rate risk may also apply to the Underlying Funds that invest in convertible securities.
The fair value of these securities varies inversely with interest rates, similar to other debt
securities. However, since they may be converted into common shares, convertible securities
are generally less affected by interest rate fluctuations than other debt securities.
Currency Risk
Currency risk arises from financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other
than, Canadian dollars, the functional currency of the Portfolios or the Underlying Funds,
as the value of securities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in
exchange rates.
The Portfolios’ direct exposure to currency risk is not significant as the units of the
Underlying Funds held are denominated in Canadian dollars, the functional currency of the
Portfolios. However, each Portfolio may be exposed to indirect currency risk if the
Underlying Funds invest in financial instruments that are denominated in currencies other
than Canadian dollars, the functional currency of the Underlying Funds.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a security issuer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail
to meet its financial obligations. The fair value of a debt instrument includes consideration
for the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. Each Portfolio may be exposed to indirect credit
risk if the Underlying Funds invest in fixed income securities or derivative instruments.
The credit risk exposure of the other assets of each Portfolio are represented by their
carrying amount as disclosed in the Statements of Net Assets.
Significant cash balances may be maintained by the custodian RBC Dexia. The Manager
monitors the credit worthiness of the custodian on a regular basis. Please see the Statements
of Net Assets for each Portfolio’s cash balance.
All transactions executed by a Portfolio in listed securities are settled / paid for upon delivery
using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities
sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase
once the securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to
meet its obligation.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to settle or meet its obligations, on
time or at a reasonable price. The Portfolios are exposed to daily cash redemption of
redeemable units. Therefore, the Portfolios aim to invest the majority of their assets in
investments that are traded in active markets and can be readily disposed of. In addition, the
Portfolios aim to retain sufficient cash and cash equivalents positions to maintain liquidity.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Amended Section 3862 requires the Portfolios to classify financial instruments measured at
fair value using a fair value hierarchy. Investments whose values are based on quoted market
prices in active markets are classified as level 1. This level includes publicly traded equities,
exchange traded and retail mutual funds, exchange traded warrants, futures contracts, traded
options, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and Global depositary receipts (“GDRs”).
Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are
valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources
supported by observable inputs are classified as level 2. These include, fixed income
securities, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), short-term instruments, non-traded
warrants, over-the-counter options, structured notes of indexed securities, foreign currency
forward contracts and swap instruments.
Investments classified as level 3 have significant unobservable inputs. Level 3 instruments
include private equities, private term loans, private equity funds and certain derivatives. As
observable prices are not available for these securities, the Portfolios may use a variety of
valuation techniques to derive the fair value.
The Artisan Portfolios invest in other investment funds and these investments are generally
classified as level 1.
During the six-month period some Portfolios' exposure to financial instruments risks
including fair value hierarchy classification changed significantly as per details disclosed in
the "Portfolio Specific Financial Instruments Risks" section of the financial statements. For
details relating to financial instruments risks exposure including fair value hierarchy
classification for remaining Portfolios refer to the audited annual financial statements as at
December 31, 2009, as these Portfolios' exposure to financial instruments risks and fair value
hierarchy classification remained unchanged through the period.
