MILWAUKEE, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (“Artisan”), with approximately $182.6 billion in assets under management as of October 31, 2025, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of equity interest of Grandview Property Partners (“Grandview”), a real estate private equity firm specializing in originating, developing, acquiring and managing middle market properties across the United States.
This partnership underscores Artisan’s commitment to high value-added investments, talent-driven businesses and thoughtful growth. It aligns with the firm’s long-standing record of methodically expanding its investment capabilities across equities, credit and alternative asset classes through the addition of exceptional talent and differentiated strategies.
Grandview is led by a seasoned and multi-generational team. Founding partners Raj Menon, Dean Sotter, Eric Freeman and Jeff Usas have worked together for an average of 22 years, delivered top-quartile IRRs with consistent distributions to paid-in capital (DPI) realization since Grandview’s founding. Their long-standing partnership has produced strong investment results focused on growth markets supported by shifting demographic trends and regional supply-demand dynamics. Its macro-driven approach enables dynamic fund positioning, concentrated investments, primarily equity-based deployment with select credit optionality, and the use of conservative leverage. Recent funds have emphasized industrial, residential and powered-land themes. Since 2002, the team has acquired or developed more than $2.8 billion in gross investments and sold more than $3.3 billion in properties. Grandview has raised three discretionary closed-end draw-down funds and currently manages $940 million in institutional assets across its flagship fund series and co-investment program.
Jason Gottlieb, CEO and President of Artisan, commented, “We are excited to welcome Grandview onto our global multi-asset investment platform. The acquisition marks a significant advancement in our strategic expansion into alternative investments, establishing a foundation in private real estate and creating new pathways for growth. Together, we will unlock new market opportunities and diversify our sources of long-term value creation for clients, associates and shareholders.”
Raj Menon, Grandview CEO, added, “We found an ideal home at Artisan, whose powerful brand, institutional caliber and global distribution scale amplify our investment capabilities. As part of the Artisan multi-asset investment platform, Grandview will maintain full investment autonomy to deliver value-added outcomes for our limited partners in a distraction-free environment.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Artisan expects that the acquisition will be mildly accretive to earnings per share after the final closing of Grandview’s next flagship closed-end draw-down fund.
Artisan Partners was advised by Broadhaven Capital Partners and Hodes Weill & Associates and represented by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. Grandview Partners was represented by Polsinelli Law Firm.

MILWAUKEE – In a strategic move to diversify its investment portfolio, Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM), managing $182.6 billion in assets as of October 31, 2025, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Grandview Property Partners. Grandview, a real estate private equity firm, specializes in originating, developing, acquiring, and managing middle-market properties across the United States. The deal, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 pending customary closing conditions, sees Artisan acquiring 100% equity interest in Grandview.
This acquisition signals Artisan’s strategic pivot towards alternative investments, specifically private real estate. The move aligns with Artisan’s established practice of expanding investment capabilities through acquiring talent-driven businesses offering differentiated strategies across equities, credit, and alternative asset classes. The acquisition potentially unlocks new revenue streams and mitigates risk by diversifying away from solely relying on publicly traded assets, a crucial consideration in navigating volatile market conditions.
Grandview’s appeal extends beyond its real estate portfolio, centering on its leadership team. Founding partners Raj Menon, Dean Sotter, Eric Freeman, and Jeff Usas, boasting an average of 22 years of collaborative experience, have consistently delivered top-quartile Internal Rates of Return (IRRs) and consistent Distributions to Paid-In Capital (DPI) since the firm’s inception. Their investment philosophy focuses on growth markets underpinned by demographic shifts and regional supply-demand imbalances. Grandview’s macro-driven approach, paired with concentrated investments primarily in equity-based deployments with select credit optionality and conservative leverage, enables them to dynamically position their funds and generate strong returns. Their recent focus has targeted industrial, residential, and powered-land themes. Since 2002, Grandview’s acquisitions and developments have totaled over $2.8 billion in gross investments, with property sales exceeding $3.3 billion. Currently, Grandview manages $940 million in institutional assets through three discretionary closed-end draw-down funds and a co-investment program.
“We are excited to welcome Grandview onto our global multi-asset investment platform,” stated Jason Gottlieb, CEO and President of Artisan. “This acquisition marks a significant advancement in our strategic expansion into alternative investments, establishing a foundation in private real estate and creating new pathways for growth. Together, we will unlock new market opportunities and diversify our sources of long-term value creation for clients, associates and shareholders.”
Raj Menon, Grandview CEO, commented, “We found an ideal home at Artisan, whose powerful brand, institutional caliber and global distribution scale amplify our investment capabilities. As part of the Artisan multi-asset investment platform, Grandview will maintain full investment autonomy to deliver value-added outcomes for our limited partners in a distraction-free environment.” This emphasis on autonomy is crucial, as it allows Grandview to maintain its established investment strategies and culture, minimizing disruption and potentially maximizing returns during the integration process.
Artisan anticipates the acquisition to be mildly accretive to earnings per share (EPS) after the final closing of Grandview’s next flagship closed-end draw-down fund. This projection takes into account potential synergies and the scaling of Grandview’s operations under Artisan’s umbrella. The impact on APAM’s stock will be closely watched, as investors gauge the long-term benefits of expanding into private real estate.
Broadhaven Capital Partners and Hodes Weill & Associates advised Artisan Partners, with legal representation from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. Polsinelli Law Firm represented Grandview Partners.
