About BIAQX
Brown Advisory Emerging Markets Select Fund Investor Shares is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with total return by primarily investing in equity securities issued by companies established or operating in emerging markets. The fund focuses on well-capitalized businesses in markets across Asia (excluding Japan) and other emerging economies, employing bottom-up fundamental research to identify companies with robust management, sound governance, and quality business models. This approach seeks long-term growth opportunities while navigating the inherent volatility of emerging markets. Sector allocations are diversified, with notable exposures to technology, financial services, consumer cyclical, and communication services industries. The fund's portfolio is typically concentrated, with a significant proportion of assets allocated to its top holdings, which include global leaders such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Tencent Holdings, and Samsung Electronics. By targeting firms with the potential for future growth and tactically utilizing market price pullbacks, the fund aims to offer attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors seeking exposure beyond developed markets. Fees are in the higher range relative to peers, reflecting an active management style and research-driven process.
