Fund Description

Under normal conditions, Brown Advisory LLC (the “Adviser”) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small domestic companies that satisfy the Fund’s sustainable investment criteria, together the “Investment Criteria” of the Fund. The Adviser will seek to balance growth oriented and value oriented holdings to achieve a core portfolio. Small companies, according to the Adviser, are companies whose market capitalizations are generally less than $6 billion or the maximum capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Index (which was approximately $14.464 billion as of September 30, 2023), whichever is greater, at the time of purchase. The market capitalizations of the companies in the Fund’s portfolio and the Russell 2000® Index changes over time; the Fund will not automatically sell or cease to purchase stock of a company it already owns just because the company’s market capitalization grows or falls outside this range.
Equity securities include domestic common and preferred stock, equity-equivalent securities such as convertible securities, stock futures contracts, equity options, other investment companies, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may also invest in private placements in these types of securities. The Fund may invest in ETFs that have an investment objective similar to the Fund’s or that otherwise are permitted investments with the Fund’s investment policies described herein. ADRs are equity securities traded on U.S. securities exchanges, which are generally issued by banks or trust companies to evidence ownership of foreign equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities, including in emerging markets.
The Fund will invest primarily in securities the Adviser believes have strong business fundamentals and attractive valuations. The Adviser seeks securities with established or improving sustainability characteristics, defined as companies that use internal sustainability strategies to improve their financial position. The Adviser seeks companies with low exposure to sustainability risks, or that have strong risk management practices in place where these risks may by present.
The Adviser pursues strategic engagement with companies and other stakeholders in an effort to enhance due diligence and monitor the investment thesis.
The Adviser considers each proxy voting proposal related to holdings in the Fund on its own merits and an independent determination is made based on the relevant facts and circumstances, in consideration of the Adviser’s current Proxy Voting Policy.
The Adviser may sell a security or reduce its position if it believes:
•The security subsequently fails to meet initial Investment Criteria;
•A more attractively priced security is found; or
•The security becomes overvalued relative to the long-term expectation.
In order to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund may assume a temporary defensive position that is inconsistent with its investment objective and principal investment strategy and invest without limit in cash and prime quality cash equivalents such as prime commercial paper and other money market instruments.A defensive position, taken at the wrong time, may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s performance.The Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective during the employment of a temporary defensive measure.
