About BASAX

The Brown Advisory Small-Cap Growth Fund Advisor Shares is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stock of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund targets companies with market capitalizations below $6 billion at the time of purchase, emphasizing those with above-average growth potential as identified through rigorous fundamental analysis. The investment team uses a concentrated strategy, selecting businesses they believe meet the '3G' criteria: durable growth, strong governance, and scalable go-to-market strategies. Diversification across sectors and business models is integral to the fund’s approach, seeking to mitigate risk while capturing growth opportunities. Up to 20% of assets may also be allocated to non-U.S. and emerging market securities, often through American Depository Receipts. The fund is managed with a high active share and a long-term perspective, aiming to exploit inefficiencies in the small-cap segment by focusing on companies with clear competitive advantages and capable management teams. By doing so, it plays a significant role in providing investors access to the dynamic and often under-researched small-cap growth equity market in the U.S..
