Brown Advisory Ethical Selection
Brown Advisory Ethical Selection is a portfolio of 30 to 40 US stocks carefully chosen for their strong investment potential and ethical merits. The core of the stock-picking strategy is based on deep fundamental analysis, with integrated ESG analysis. More specifically, the universe of fundamentally identified companies is screened to ensure that companies which don’t pass the strategy´s environmental, social and governance thresholds are excluded. For instance, companies with more than 5% of their revenue derived from alcohol or tobacco products will not be included.
Brown Advisory Ethical Selection was up by 5.6% in the second quarter. The result compared favorably to the benchmark Russel 3000’s return of 4.1%, as well as to the S&P 500´s return of 4.3% in the same period.
