Brown Advisory offers a range of proprietary U.S. investment strategies to non-U.S. institutional and individual investors. Today, we manage about $1 billion in non-U.S. assets through a UCITS III fund vehicle and numerous separate accounts.

Brown Advisory has been doing business in the U.K. and continental Europe for many years. Alex. Brown & Sons first opened an office in London in 1985, and Brown Advisory took on its first non-U.S. institutional client in 1999. In 2006, Brown Advisory set up a Dublin UCITS III umbrella to give non-U.S. investors better access to its U.S. equity strategies. In March 2008, the firm opened an office in London and registered with the FSA.

Focus: U.S. Equities

Our primary goal is simple and straightforward: we are committed to producing superior risk-adjusted returns over time

We believe that superior returns are driven by rigorous fundamental research and careful stock selection
Our international client base includes: charities, pension funds, multi-managers, family offices, private banks and high-net worth individuals

At Brown Advisory, we believe that you deserve frank and open communication on all aspects of our relationship. In this spirit, we provide this annual summary of our policies relating to confidentiality and privacy of client information, mutual funds, conflicts of interest, trading commissions, proxy voting and Form ADV annual notice.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY POLICY

Brown Advisory takes the confidentiality of your personal information and the privacy of your account very seriously. Our commitment to safeguard your personal information goes beyond our legal obligation to process your transactions accurately and securely. Whether we serve you online, in person, on the telephone or by mail, the principles that guide the way in which we conduct business are built upon the core values of trust and integrity.

We limit access to your personal information to only those employees with a business reason to know such information. We train and consistently remind all employees to respect client privacy and to recognize the importance of the confidentiality of such information. Those who violate our privacy policy are subject to disciplinary action. This commitment also applies to the sharing of information among Brown Advisory and its affiliates.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable laws and regulations to protect your personal information, including various measures to protect your personal information while it is stored electronically.

Federal law requires us to inform you that we have on record personal information about you and that we obtain such information from you directly (e.g., information you provide to us on account applications and other forms, such as your name, address, social security number, occupation, assets and income) and indirectly (e.g., information on our computer systems about your transactions with us, such as your account balance and account holdings). Any personal information you choose to provide is kept confidential and allows us to: (i) provide better and more complete investment and strategic advice; (ii) develop new services that meet additional needs you may have; and, (iii) comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

In addition, in the normal conduct of our business, it may become necessary for us to share information relating to our clients that we have on record, as described above, with companies not affiliated with us who are under contract to perform services on our behalf. For example, we have contracted with companies to assist us in complying with anti-terrorist and anti-money laundering statutory requirements (including the identification and reporting of activities that may involve terrorist acts or money laundering activities), companies that provide clearing services, and other vendors that provide services directly related to your account relationship with us. Our agreements with these companies require that they keep your information confidential and not use such information for any unrelated purpose.

We do not sell information about you to third parties, and we do not otherwise disclose information to third parties without your permission or unless required by law.

Brown Advisory Wins Lipper Award
Winslow Environmental News: The Time is Now for Climate Change Adaptation
Investment Perspectives: Alphabet Soup: The Shape of Recovery

Specialist US equities manager Brown Advisory has seen its US Equity Value Ucits III vehicle reach $100m in assets under management. Run by Richard Bernstein, the US Equity Value Ucits fund was launched under the group’s Dublin umbrella in February 2006 and mirrors the manager’s existing concentrated long-only strategy, which has $1.1bn of assets. Brown Advisory London office director Logie Fitzwilliams says the strategy has proved attractive in the European market this year. “We reached our three-year track record in February, launched a sterling-hedged share class in October, and have seen impressive inflows, not just from the UK but also from institutions in Scandinavia, Spain and Switzerland,” he says. Iveagh Private Investment House partner and head of portfolio management Chris Wyllie backs Bernstein’s approach and Brown’s strong research platform. “Together, these have delivered an outstanding long-term track record which can be replicated in the future,” Wyllie adds. “It is a good example of what we look for in a fund.” The milestone follows the recent launch to the European market of Brown’s US Equity Growth.
