About BAFGX

The Brown Advisory Growth Equity Fund Institutional Shares is a U.S.-domiciled mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation through investment in equities. This fund specializes in large-cap growth stocks, predominantly targeting domestic companies with robust business models and prospects for above-average, sustainable earnings growth. Utilizing a bottom-up research approach, the fund manager selects a concentrated portfolio of fundamentally sound companies with enduring market positions, intending to hold investments over multi-year periods. While the primary focus is on U.S. equities, the fund may allocate up to 15% of assets to non-U.S. securities via American Depository Receipts. Key sectors represented in the portfolio include technology, consumer discretionary, healthcare, and financial services, often holding industry-leading firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Costco. The fund is recognized for its lower-than-average expense ratio in its category, institutional share class structure, and a disciplined, research-driven investment process. Its purpose is to offer investors exposure to companies expected to deliver sustained earnings growth, playing a significant role in growth-oriented investment strategies within the mutual fund market.
