Profile

Brown Capital Management is a nationally recognized investment management firm headquartered in Baltimore, Md. The firm was founded in 1983 by the pioneering growth investor Eddie C. Brown, and is managed by President and CEO, Keith Lee.

Over three and a half decades, we have honed our shared investment philosophy:
• Exceptional Growth Companies have the potential to generate exceptional returns over time.
• The power of compounding can accelerate the stock returns of Exceptional Growth Companies over the long term.
• To stay focused on Exceptional Growth Companies, we must be benchmark-agnostic, and not make any investment decisions based on the composition of an index.

We manage four U.S. and International equity strategies, in different vehicles, following that philosophy.

In short, at Brown Capital we seek out the Exceptional in companies, talent and clients.
