Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The Brown Advisory Sustainable Growth Fund (the Fund) seeks to achieve capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in equity securities of medium and large capitalization domestic companies that demonstrate strong financial fundamentals, sustainable business advantages—defined as internal strategies that improve financial position through revenue growth, cost improvements, or enhanced franchise value—and attractive valuations. The fund may also hold up to 15% in foreign securities including emerging markets and may invest in real estate investment trusts. Because the fund's returns depend on the Adviser's selection of companies meeting these criteria, performance will diverge from broad market indexes.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +10.93% | +48.65% | +42.07% | 18.65% | -15.88% | |
| +10.79% | +47.95% | +40.96% | 18.65% | -15.93% | |
| +10.50% | +46.85% | +39.17% | 18.65% | -16.02% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.90pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.58pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
