INVESTMENT APPROACH


The Brown Advisory International Value Select Fund is a modern, data‑led, true‑to‑label value portfolio rooted in a disciplined, purpose-driven framework distilled from decades of practical experience. Blending these lessons with new technology, we aim to eliminate legacy practices that can detract from returns and retain only those that add meaningful impact in today’s world. 

Our approach emphasizes discount to intrinsic value, risk-aware execution, and long- term orientation, underpinned by a focus on continuous improvement. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation through a combination of deep fundamental research, valuation discipline, and behavioral insights designed to capitalize on market inefficiencies. We look to identify businesses with underappreciated and undervalued fundamentals, where short-term uncertainty, or misplaced market narratives have driven behavioral dislocation. Risk is assessed through multiple lenses, and portfolio construction is treated as a distinct discipline, working to ensure that individual insights translate into attractive, repeatable, risk-adjusted outcomes for clients over the long-term.​


 


PHILOSOPHY

Our investment philosophy is grounded in the following principles.


  • Deep Value 

    We follow a disciplined, contrarian approach to identify companies trading below intrinsic value, and with an attractive risk/reward profile. Our philosophy prioritizes long-term opportunities created by market inefficiencies, emphasizing conviction and patience over short-term trends. By maintaining valuation discipline within a repeatable framework, we aim to construct a resilient portfolio delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns over time.​

  • A Behavioral Edge 

    We leverage behavioral insights to identify market inefficiencies driven by structural and systemic biases. Our disciplined approach includes behavioral screens, qualitative alerts, and safeguards against our own biases, reinforced by external coaching. By applying repeatable behavioral rules such as upside capture reviews, we aim to enhance alpha generation and avoid common decision-making pitfalls like selling ‘winners’ too early.​

  • Fundamental Research 

    Our investment decisions are grounded in deep fundamental research, strengthened by advanced AI-driven tools to uncover differentiated insights and improve accuracy. Each investment undergoes a rigorous risk assessment, including the establishment of a risk score and analysis of key drivers of risk/reward to mitigate value traps. Through detailed financial modeling and sector analysis, industry insights, and a disciplined research process, we maintain consistent execution of our investment philosophy.

  • A Continuous Learning Mindset 

    Continuous learning is integral to sustaining our behavioral edge and improving decision- making over time. We collect and analyze data on our investment decisions and behaviors, working with an external coach to refine and optimize our investment process over time. This commitment to feedback and adaptation ensures that our investment framework evolves with market dynamics, enabling us to remain disciplined, but also relevant and resilient.

This material represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific point in time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, or a guarantee of future results. This information should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice regarding the Funds or any stock in particular. This information is not intended to provide legal and/or tax advice. Please consult your tax/financial adviser for further information.​ Unlike Mutual Funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV).

The International Value Select Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers. Investments in such securities entail certain risks not associated with investments in domestic securities, such as volatility of currency exchange rates, and in some cases, political and economic instability and relatively illiquid markets. In emerging markets, these risks are heightened. The value of the Fund’s investments in REITs may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities and although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a great risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped to produce short-term returns for some asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.​​
