Brown Advisory launches Global Value Select UCITS Fund
London, 31 March 2026 Brown Advisory, an independent, global investment management firm with $168.8bn in client assets, has today launched its Global Value Select UCITS Fund. This new Fund provides investors with access to the firm’s Global Value Select strategy led by Nick Kirrage, supported by associate portfolio manager Michael Heap and two dedicated analysts.
This UCITS Fund will be available for investors in the U.K., Europe, Middle East and APAC[1], and follows the launch of the team’s International Value Select ETF at the end of February for U.S.-based investors which has amassed over $60m since inception.
Sitting in London as part of Brown Advisory’s global equity research team, Nick and team seek to capitalise on contrarian ideas across the globe that can deliver long-term returns for their clients. They focus on investment opportunities where market psychology has driven companies to trade below their intrinsic value. The team has identified a concentrated portfolio of global equities through deep fundamental analysis and disciplined bottom-up research which they believe can unlock shareholder value over the long term. The Fund launches at a time when they believe the opportunity for value investing has become increasingly attractive.
Nick Kirrage, Portfolio Manager at Brown Advisory, said: “Dislocations in global markets mean there are many companies trading below their intrinsic value, which is why we believe the opportunity set for value investors today is so compelling and why we are very excited to bring this differentiated portfolio to Brown Advisory’s client base. The timing – starting afresh today to bring a modern, data-led, true-to-label value investing approach to the market – could not be better.”
Charlie van Straubenzee, Global Head of Institutional Business Development at Brown Advisory, said: “This launch reflects what we are hearing consistently from our clients – a desire for a modern, disciplined approach to value investing that can uncover opportunities across global markets while staying true to long-term fundamentals. We believe investors are looking to broaden their opportunity set while navigating more complex market environments.”
