About BAUAX
Brown Advisory Small-Cap Fundamental Value Fund – Class A is an actively managed mutual fund that focuses on U.S. small-cap equity securities. The fund’s primary objective is long-term capital appreciation through a research-driven investment process that seeks out small-cap companies—defined as those with market capitalizations typically under $6 billion—that are considered undervalued based on fundamental assessments of their true worth. The portfolio emphasizes concentrated holdings in cash-generating businesses with sustainable business models, strong financials, and capable management teams. Fund managers prioritize finding stocks that are either out of favor or overlooked by the broader market, often identifying opportunities among companies experiencing temporary setbacks or special business situations. While the fund predominantly invests in domestic equities, it may allocate up to 15% of assets to international or emerging market securities, frequently via American Depository Receipts (ADRs). The fund benchmarks its performance against the Russell 2000® Value Index, highlighting its focus on small-cap value stocks. Its rigorous valuation discipline and fundamental analysis aim to capture value from market inefficiencies within the small-cap sector, making it a noteworthy participant in the U.S. small-cap value landscape.
