Brown Investment Advisory, Inc. Brown Investment Advisory, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance Brown Investment Advisory offers a variety of investment strategies including Large-Cap Growth, Large-Cap Value, Small-Cap Growth and Fixed-Income. In addition, the firm works with other asset management firms to offer clients access to other strategies including US Small-Cap Value Equity, International Equity, hedge funds-of-funds, alternative asset classes, venture capital funds, buy-out private equity funds, real estate funds and a variety of co-investments. Brown's large-cap growth strategy seeks to invest in diversified portfolios of companies with superior fundamentals, strong, sustainable revenue and earnings growth and attractive valuations. They invest in US large-cap growth stocks and typically hold them for several years. Brown employs fundamental research to select securities and sectors that offer highly competitive, tax-efficient returns. They seek to identify market-leading companies or companies with the potential to become market leaders. They look for rich product cycles, large, growing markets, strong cash flow, proprietary products/services and productive new product development efforts. Brown also looks for growth stock development that occurs after the initial phase of growth in which a catalyst causes rejuvenated growth. Brown's Large-Cap Value strategy seeks to identify out-of-favor situations with downside risk of no more than 20% and upside potential of at least 40%. They look for sound, financially strong, growing companies with proven shareholder-sensitive management. Their strategy is multi-cap, with a minimum market-cap of $500 million and no maximum. Companies should have above average earnings growth, above average profitability and below average valuations. Investments are diversified across a wide range of industries. The firm employs a bottom-up portfolio construction process that is based on the specific attractiveness of each holding. The firm's Small-Cap Growth strategy seeks to invest early and hold investments for the long-term. Brown looks for companies with large business opportunities relative to the company's size and proprietary technology, products, services or distribution systems. Management must have a clear, measurable plan to produce sustainable earnings growth of more than 20% a year. At the time of purchase, stocks must have a market-cap of not more than the largest company in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Brown actively manages fixed-income portfolios. They employ a disciplined investment process that seeks to exploit changes in sector spreads, security valuations, interest rate trends and yield curve dynamics.	Finance
