Brown Advisory Launches Modern, True-to-Label, Global Value Investment Capability Under Leadership of Nick Kirrage
 

  • Flagship strategies: Global Value Select and International Value Select

  • Global Value Select UCITS Fund is coming soon

 

London, UK - 26 February 2026 - Brown Advisory, an independent investment management and strategic advisory firm overseeing $173.5b1 in client assets, today announced the launch of its new value investment capability led by Nick Kirrage. Kirrage joined Brown Advisory in October 2025 as Partner and Portfolio Manager after more than two decades in investment management, most recently as Head of Global Value at Schroders.

Brown Advisory introduces flagship strategies: Global Value Select and International Value Select. These strategies share a common philosophy, process and objective. They are grounded in modern behavioral value investing, designed to uncover companies where market psychology has led them to trade at a discount to their intrinsic value. The Global Value Select strategy will scour worldwide markets for compelling investments. The International Value Select strategy will follow the same process but exclude the U.S. equity market.

“We’re thrilled to offer this modern, data-led, true-to-label value approach to the market.” said Nick Kirrage, Portfolio Manager. “Through our contemporary approach and deep fundamental analysis, we aim to capitalize on contrarian ideas that drive long-term returns. Starting afresh has afforded us the opportunity to deliver a differentiated offering, focused on doing what others don’t, won’t, or can’t.”

Brown Advisory will be launching the Global Value Select UCITS Fund in the coming weeks.

Working alongside Kirrage is Michael Heap, Associate Portfolio Manager, who joined Brown Advisory in December 2025 and most recently held an investment analyst position with a global remit at Orbis Investment Management. Investment research will be supported by dedicated analysts who have also joined Brown Advisory: Haseem Shah, who most recently served as portfolio manager at Mondrian Investment Partners, and Valerio Dussizza, who joined Brown Advisory from Lansdowne Partners. The value team is based in Brown Advisory’s London office.

“Nick, Michael, Haseem and Valerio have extensive value investment experience, and we are proud to have them join us,” explained Chris Bartlett, Global Head of Institutional Business at Brown Advisory. “Our firm’s breadth of resource and independent, long-term mindset have enabled us to build a highly talented team and launch new strategies for the benefit of our global client base.
