Example

The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the

Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This example assumes that

you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem

all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your

investment has a 5% annual return each year and that the Fund's operating

expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Brown Advisory Growth Equity Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, With Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, With Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, With Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, With Redemption, 10 Years
Institutional Shares	96	300	520	1,155
Advisor Shares	116	362	628	1,386

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells

securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may

indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund

shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in

annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's

performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the

portfolio turnover rate for the Fund was 30% of the average value of its

portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal conditions, Brown Investment Advisory Incorporated (the "Advisor")

seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing at least 80% of

the value of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in

equity securities of domestic companies. The Fund invests primarily in

securities of medium and large market capitalization companies that the Advisor

believes have exhibited an above average rate of earnings growth and that have

prospects for above average, sustainable growth in the future. Medium and large

market capitalization companies are, according to the Advisor, those companies

with market capitalizations generally greater than $2 billion at the time of

purchase. The Fund may also invest in companies that do not exhibit particularly

strong earnings histories but have other attributes that may contribute to

accelerated growth in the foreseeable future. Equity securities include domestic

common and preferred stock, convertible debt securities, American Depositary

Receipts ("ADRs"), real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and exchange traded

funds ("ETFs"). The Advisor may also invest in private placements in these types

of securities. The Fund invests primarily in ETFs that have an investment

objective similar to the Fund's or that otherwise are permitted investments with

the Fund's investment policies described herein. ADRs are equity securities

traded on U.S. securities exchanges, which are generally issued by banks or

trust companies to evidence ownership of foreign equity securities. The Fund may

invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign securities, including in emerging

markets. The Advisor may sell a security or reduce its position if:



   ·  The investment thesis is violated,



   ·  A more attractively priced security is found, or;



   ·  The security becomes overvalued relative to the long-term expectation.



In order to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions,

the Fund may assume a temporary defensive position that is inconsistent with its

principal investments strategies and invest, without limitation, in cash or

prime quality cash equivalents.

Principal Investment Risks

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose all or a portion

of your investment in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a

bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation or any other government agency. The following are the principal

risks that could affect the value of your investment:



·  ADR Risk. ADRs may be subject to some of the same risks as direct investment

   in foreign companies, which includes international trade, currency, political,

   regulatory and diplomatic risks.



·  Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to

   decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends

   to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities.



·  Equity and General Market Risk. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock

   market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. The

   stock market may experience declines or stocks in the Fund's portfolio may not

   increase their earnings at the rate anticipated. The Fund's NAV and investment

   return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio

   securities.



·  ETF Risk. ETFs may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the

   underlying securities and although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low,

   frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses.

   Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly be subject to the fees and expenses

   of the individual ETFs in which the Fund invests.



·  Growth Company Risk. Securities of growth companies can be more sensitive to

   the company's earnings and more volatile than the market in general.



·  Management Risk. The Fund may not meet its investment objective based on the

   Advisor's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.



·  Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Securities of medium sized companies may

   be more volatile and more difficult to liquidate during market down turns than

   securities of larger companies.



·  Private Placement Risk. The Fund may invest in privately issued securities of

   domestic common and preferred stock, convertible debt securities, ADRs, REITs

   and ETFs, including those which may be resold only in accordance with

   Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"). Privately

   issued securities are restricted securities that are not publicly traded.

   Delay or difficulty in selling such securities may result in a loss to the

   Fund.



·  REIT and Real Estate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in REITs may

   change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in

   the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing

   opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs.
