About BAUUX
The Brown Advisory Small-Cap Fundamental Value Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund focusing on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. small-cap companies that appear undervalued based on fundamental analysis. The fund targets firms with market capitalizations generally under $6 billion at the time of purchase, seeking businesses whose market prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. Its investment process is research-driven, blending valuation discipline with a focus on companies exhibiting strong finances, sustainable business models, and demonstrated profitability. The portfolio typically holds a concentrated selection of domestic equities but may allocate up to 15% of assets to foreign and emerging market securities, often through American Depository Receipts. The fund aims to capitalize on market inefficiencies in the small-cap segment, particularly targeting under-followed or temporarily out-of-favor companies with proven cash-generation capabilities. This approach appeals to institutional investors looking for differentiated exposure within the small-cap value segment of the equity markets, and the fund has received consistent recognition for its investment process and management team.
