Our read on BASV

ETF.net Research

In short

DActive, sustainability-minded US value from Brown Advisory, with a strategy record going back to 2004. The stock-picker's route in a corner of the market where cheap rules-based funds now set the price.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • Real stock picking, not index tracking: a manager-chosen portfolio of US stocks under one plain mandate, long-term capital appreciation.
  • The strategy dates to 2004, so its record spans multiple market cycles rather than one favorable stretch.
  • Plain plumbing: a long-only US equity portfolio with no structural quirks attached, so the holdings list is the whole story.

Worth knowing

  • 0.71% a year sits above the typical active US value fund and is several times what systematic rivals like AVLV (0.15%) and WTV (0.12%) charge.
  • Small asset base and thin trading, so spreads can run wider than at the category's giants and larger orders take patience.
  • The sustainability angle is in the name, but public evidence of how the screen shapes the portfolio is limited. The prospectus is the place to check.
