Investing in Innovation
We strive to catalyze innovation by backing mission-driven businesses and initiatives that are designed to materially enhance opportunities in our communities. These strategic investments take the form of capital, resources, and collaboration with change-agents who promote opportunity in the ecosystems in which we work.

CrossBoundary
Challenging ourselves to look for strategic opportunities that can unlock investments for clients led us to partner with CrossBoundary*—a frontier markets firm whose mission is to provide private capital to underserved markets. With 23 offices on five continents, CrossBoundary co-locates in our London office, which has allowed us to find new ways to collaborate and increase our mutual understanding of global investment opportunities—from sovereign bonds to nature-based finance to solar-powered mini grids.
Responsible Investment Forum
We are proud to be the founding partner of the Responsible Investment Forum, hosted by the Rothschild Foundation and Tortoise Media. The Forum brings together some of the most thoughtful and innovative business leaders, academics and investors for thought-provoking debate, respectful disagreement and mutual learning.
Karina Funk, Brown Advisory's Chair of Sustainable Investing and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Large-Cap Sustainable Growth Strategy, serves as an advisory board member. We view the Forum as a new kind of venue to discuss the role of finance and investment capital in solving our global challenges—in a way that will genuinely make a difference.
