Brown Capital Management employs a singular investment philosophy based on identifying Exceptional Growth Companies, ignoring traditional benchmarks, and maintaining the patience and tolerance to hold positions for years. The firm believes that a sustained commitment to a portfolio of exceptional companies will, over time, generate attractive long-term returns. The strategy emphasizes vigorous internal debate and patient investing as core components. Companies are sized by operating revenues rather than market capitalization, with the fund targeting companies with total operating revenues between $500 million and $2.5 billion at initial investment.
