"Brown Advisory exploited macro tariff shocks to buy high-quality compounders like Experian and topped up key AI winners, while rigorously enforcing discipline to exit deteriorating healthcare holdings."
Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, the Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy outperformed its benchmark, driven by stock selection in IT and Industrials. To exploit macroeconomic volatility surrounding new tariff announcements, the fund initiated a position in Experian and trimmed Moody's. It actively managed generative AI exposure by increasing stakes in Microsoft and ASML while trimming TSMC and conducting a drawdown review to add to Marvell Technology. Conversely, disciplined drawdown reviews led the fund to exit healthcare names Illumina and Coloplast due to deteriorating fundamental factors. The strategy celebrated its 10-year anniversary compounding at 12.1% gross per year since inception.
