Artisan Value Fund and Artisan Value Income Fund (the Company) as of and
for the year ended September 30, 2023, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), we considered the Company's internal control over financial
reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis
for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements
of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management
are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the
design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent
or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Company's internal control over financial reporting
was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However,
we noted nodeficiencies in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of
September 30, 2023.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and the Board of Directors of Artisan Partners Funds, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
