About BCSIX

The Brown Capital Management Small Company Fund Investor Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on U.S. small companies. The fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies with total operating revenues of $500 million or less at the time of initial investment, distinguishing its approach by prioritizing company revenue instead of market capitalization. The goal is to identify and build a portfolio of exceptional growth businesses with the potential to become larger industry leaders over time. The portfolio typically holds between 40 and 65 companies, with significant concentration in its top positions—recently, over 46% of assets were in the top 10 holdings, spanning sectors like technology and healthcare. Notably, the fund pursues a long-term, low-turnover investment strategy, reflected in a turnover ratio of about 12%. Its investment philosophy emphasizes the quality and growth potential of underlying businesses rather than short-term market movements. Within the financial market, the fund serves investors seeking targeted exposure to emerging U.S. growth companies, and it is categorized under small-growth mutual funds. It operates with a no-load structure and charges an expense ratio that is above average for its category.
