Artisan Partners, a high value-added investment management firm, mentioned Global-E Online Ltd in its fourth quarter investor letter. The fund said:
“We added to several positions during the quarter including Global-E Online Ltd (NASDAQ:GLBE). Global-e online is a global e-commerce service platform enabling cross-border transactions across 200+ countries. It provides three critical elements: website localization, payments and logistics. For background, ~30% of a global brand’s online traffic is from international shoppers, though the portion of its international sales is no more than 5%-10% as brands struggle to overcome numerous cross-border challenges—different languages, currencies, payment methods, duties/taxes and shipping providers. There is no one-size-fits-all solution as each market is unique; hence, merchants of all sizes find a do-it-yourself cross-border strategy to be complex, costly and difficult to maintain. In our view, the capability of Global-e online’s platform to remove these frictions was recently validated by its strategic partnership with e-commerce platform giant Shopify, which also made an equity investment in the
company. With strong current performance and the potential for accelerated growth once Global-e completes its technological integration with Shopify’s platform, we added to our GardenSM position.”
