About BCSFX
The Brown Capital Management International Small Company Fund is a mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of non-U.S.-based small companies. Its investment strategy emphasizes identifying exceptional small firms—defined as those with operating revenues of $500 million or less—that have the potential to evolve into industry leaders. The fund typically maintains a concentrated portfolio of 40 to 65 holdings, carefully selected for their innovative approaches, durable revenue growth, and defensible market positions. Emphasizing growth, the fund’s holdings often span technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors, with exposure to both developed and emerging international markets. Managed with a benchmark-agnostic philosophy, portfolio construction is guided by company fundamentals rather than index composition, potentially resulting in sector allocations that differ from typical peer funds. The fund is structured for institutional investors and maintains a disciplined, long-term approach to security selection and retention, aiming to deliver sustainable value through strategic global small-cap investing.
