Supplement to the Prospectus dated July 29, 2015

Supplement dated May 23, 2016

Special Meeting of Shareholders

At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Brown Capital Management Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) held on April 11, 2016, the Trustees approved a new investment advisory agreement with Brown Capital Management, LLC and the Trust on behalf of each of the Funds, subject to shareholder approval. At the same meeting, the Board also approved certain revisions to the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions, subject to shareholder approval. The new investment advisory agreement has been necessitated by a transaction that is expected to become effective on or about July 29, 2016 whereby the existing owners of BCM intend to transfer ownership of BCM to an employee stock ownership program (“ESOP”) (the “ESOP Transaction”). The ESOP Transaction will constitute an “assignment” that will operate to terminate the existing investment advisory agreement between the Trust and BCM with respect to the Funds.

You should note that the ESOP Transaction is not expected to result in any change in the way the Funds are managed or in the persons responsible for the management of the Funds. You should also note that the revisions to the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions also are not expected to result in any changes in the way the Funds are managed.

A special meeting of shareholders to consider the approval of the new investment advisory agreement and the revisions to the fundamental investment restrictions is expected to occur on or about July 15, 2016.
