"Despite underperformance, the manager maintains conviction in quality businesses now trading at 67% discounts to historical averages."
Brown Capital Management's International All Company Fund declined 13.73% in Q1 2026, significantly underperforming the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index's -4.60% return. The primary driver was an AI derating that compressed valuations of technology companies perceived as threatened by artificial intelligence. Five of the fund's top 10 detractors experienced this AI-related selloff, with affected holdings now trading at a 67% discount to their 10-year average free cash flow yields. Despite market sentiment, the manager maintains conviction in these quality businesses, believing many are actually positioned to benefit from AI proliferation rather than suffer from it. The fund added Safran and Nu Holdings while eliminating Monday.com due to AI substitution risk and Novo Nordisk due to competitive pressures. Camtek was a top contributor, benefiting from AI-driven demand for semiconductor inspection equipment. Looking ahead, the manager remains optimistic about the fund's prospects, confident that when market attention returns to fundamentals, their EGCs with quality revenue and profitable growth will regain their edge.
