About BIAUX
The Brown Advisory Small-Cap Fundamental Value Fund Investor Shares is a mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation through investments in small-cap U.S. companies. Managed by Brown Advisory, the fund employs a research-driven strategy that targets equity securities of companies believed to be undervalued relative to their intrinsic economic value. The fund defines small-cap companies as those with market capitalizations generally under $6 billion at the time of purchase, with flexibility up to the largest member of the Russell 2000® Value Index. This fund is characterized by a concentrated portfolio and a disciplined, bottom-up approach emphasizing fundamental analysis and valuation. It seeks out cash-generating businesses with sustainable models, solid financials, proven management, and the capacity for self-funded growth. In addition to classic value-oriented opportunities, the fund may invest in cyclical or temporarily out-of-favor companies when valuations signal a margin of safety. The portfolio can allocate up to 15% to international equities, typically via American Depository Receipts. The fund’s primary benchmark is the Russell 2000® Value Index, situating it within the small-blend category, and it targets investors seeking exposure to overlooked or under-researched segments of the domestic small-cap equity market.
