Brown Brothers Harriman - Research Alliance

Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) oversees approximately $62 billion in assets (as of Q2 2018) as an investment manager for individuals and institutions. BBH is currently the investment advisor for six registered mutual funds. We invite you to learn more about Brown Brothers Harriman’s family of funds: BBH Core Select, BBH Global Core Select, BBH Income, BBH Limited Duration, BBH Intermediate Municipal, BBH Partner Fund—International Equity and BBH U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

BBH Core Select Principles of Equity Investing

Investment objective
The investment objective of the fund is to provide investors with long term growth of capital. The fund seeks to generate attractive returns over time and does not attempt to mirror any benchmark or index.

Ownership perspective
We approach equity investing with the perspective of owning fractional shares of strong businesses for relatively long periods of time. We base our investment decisions on fundamental analysis of the underlying businesses.

Emphasis on capital preservation
We view risk not as the price volatility of an investment, but instead as the likelihood of a permanent capital loss. To mitigate this risk, we apply rigorous selection criteria and invest only in companies we believe have a significant margin of safety1 as measured between the purchase price and our estimate of intrinsic value.

Long-term perspective
Many investment strategies are built around short-term expectations, momentum-following and frequent trading. We believe that a longer-term view of both companies and investments leads to stronger results and risk control over market cycles.

Minimize trading costs and taxes
High portfolio turnover often generates taxable short-term gains and substantial trading costs, both of which can significantly erode the long-term compounding of returns. Our targeted holding period of 3-5 years helps us reduce these costs.

Invest alongside clients
Key principals of BBH have invested personally in the BBH Core Select mutual fund, as well as in similarly managed separate accounts, signifying a high level of shared conviction in the investment strategy and a clear alignment of interests with the Fund’s shareholders.

Research-focused process
We believe that the strong research and analysis is the primary driver of investment success. Prior to any investment we strive to have a deep understanding of the long-term fundamental characteristics of the business. It is also important to control business risk through domain knowledge, carefully selected investment criteria, and a thoughtful investment process.

1With respect to equity investments, a margin of safety exists when we believe there is a significant discount to intrinsic value at the time of purchase, we aim to purchase at 75% of our estimate to intrinsic value or less. Intrinsic value represents what we believe to be the value of a security based on our analysis of both tangible and intangible factors. For fixed income a margin of safety exists when the additional yield offers, in BBH’s view, compensation for the potential credit, liquidity and inherent price volatility of that type of security and it is therefore more likely to outperform an equivalent maturity Treasury instrument over a 3-5 year horizon.
