Brown Brothers Harriman is thrilled to announce that our Municipal Bond team has won the 2023 Envestnet Asset Management Award, in the Fixed Income category, for its Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund.

Out of  100 funds for the year ending 12/31/2022.

Ranking Entity is Envestnet | PMC Research. 

Envestnet’s systematic, proprietary, and multi-factor methodology for this awards program harnesses a variety of qualitative and quantitative criteria to identify award finalists from among the thousands of managers on the Envestnet platform.  Envestnet reviews investment process and style, customer service, tax efficiency, performance, composite, and firm profile, among many other aspects of a manager’s strategy and business. To be eligible for an award, managers must be broadly available on the Envestnet platform, have at least $100 million in assets under management, and a three-year track record. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Overview

BBH Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks to protect investors’ capital and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through market cycles by combining thorough, independent credit research and a unique valuation discipline to identify undervalued municipal securities. We invest bottom-up and seek to own a limited number of durable credits that offer attractive yields.

We view risk only as the permanent impairment of an investment.

Risk Considerations

Investors in the Fund should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of portfolios changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments.

Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, maturity, call and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed.

Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax.

As the Fund's exposure in any one municipal revenue sector backed by revenues from similar types of projects increases, the Fund will also become more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments relevant to these projects.
The Fund also invests in derivative instruments, investments whose values depend on the performance of the underlying security, assets, interest rate, index or currency and entail potentially higher volatility and risk of loss compared to traditional stock or bond investments.

Asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions, made by an investment adviser whose discretionary clients make up a large percentage of the Fund's shareholders may adversely impact remaining Fund shareholders.

There is no assurance the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Credit Quality letter ratings are provided by Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch and are presented as the higher of the three ratings. When a security is not rated by Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch, the highest credit ratings from DBRS and Kroll may be used. Credit ratings reflect the credit quality of the underlying issues in the portfolio and not of the portfolio itself. Issues with credit ratings of BBB or better are considered to be investment grade, with adequate capacity to meet financial commitments. Issues with credit ratings below BBB are considered speculative in nature and are vulnerable to the possibility of issuer failure or business interruption.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. The BBH Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund was rated against the following numbers of Muni National Interm. Bond category funds over the following time periods: 249 funds in the last three years and 224 funds in the last five years. With respect to these Muni National Interm. Bond category funds, the BBH Intermediate Municipal Bond (Class I & Class N), received an Overall Morningstar Rating of 4 stars and 4 stars, respectively. Class I three- and five-year periods received ratings of 3 stars and 4 stars, respectively. Class N three and five-year periods received ratings of 3 stars and 4 stars, respectively.
