Brown Advisory offers a range of proprietary equity strategies to non-US clients. These funds are supported by an equity research team of over 20 investment professionals. This team performs deep, bottom-up research on a broad universe of US stocks, using a highly collaborative investment process.

Our investment process is consistent and sustainable. Only a limited number of stocks meet our investment criteria, and these names enter the portfolios through a practice of daily research discussions, weekly statistical screens, rigorous financial modeling and, most importantly, deep fundamental research.  It is a commonsensical and opportunistic approach, in which stock selection takes precedence over sector weightings in making up the portfolios.

    We pride ourselves on our approach to US equity research.  We believe that disciplined, bottom-up research is the foundation of superior investment performance. Our team consists of 18 analysts who perform deep investment research on a broad universe of stocks, while maintaining a process that is highly collaborative.

    Our investment process is consistent and sustainable. There are only a limited number of stocks that meet our investment criteria, and these names enter the portfolios through a practice of daily meetings, weekly screens, rigorous financial modeling and deep fundamental research. It is a commonsensical and opportunistic approach, in which sector weights are very much a by-product of stock selection.

    An integral part of our considered approach is the use of scenario analysis. We set upside and downside targets by modeling different financial outcomes over a two year period. Each analyst will keep their upside and downside targets updated on a rolling 6 month basis. This range (or reward/risk profile) helps determine position sizes within the fund. We look to sell stocks as they approach our upside targets and add to them if they move closer to the downside. We are not momentum investors. Through this careful method we try to eliminate as much emotion as possible from the investment process.

    Finally, a core component of our approach is the use of written research reports, which are produced in the same format for every stock. Their purpose is to ensure a consistent thought process for all companies we analyze, and they act as a vital reference tool when making investment decisions.


    For some clients based outside the U.S., other Brown Advisory strategies may meet their needs and objectives more effectively. For information on these strategies please see US Investment Strategies.
