BBH Limited Duration Fund

Morningstar ratings are based on risk-adjusted returns. There are 204 funds in the Ultrashort Bond category as of 08/31/2024.

Overview

BBH Limited Duration Fund is designed for interest rate sensitive investors seeking broad exposure to the U.S. fixed income markets with a portfolio duration of less than two years. The Fund seeks to provide maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management.
 
Our active management approach seeks to build low duration, taxable bond portfolios bottom-up allowing valuation to drive our portfolio construction. We only invest in credits we believe to be durable, well-managed, appropriately structured, and that can be comprehensively researched and understood.

We seek excess return over time, not relative value across today’s opportunity set.



The Fund was recognized as the best in the Short Investment Grade Debt Funds category, for the five-year period ending December 31, 2023. The Fund was assessed against a pool of 90 funds with 311 share classes for the five-year period, ending December 31, 2023. LSEG Lipper Fund Awards annually recognize funds and fund management firms for their consistently strong risk-adjusted three-, five-and 10-year performance relative to their peers based upon Lipper's quantitative, proprietary methodology.

All performance is net of fees. Returns of less than a year are not annualized.

Past performance does not guarantee future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

The Bloomberg Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Index is an unmanaged index of fixed rate obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities ranging from 1 to 3 years.

The Reference Benchmark is an unmanaged weighted index comprised as follows: 40% Bloomberg Short-Term Corporate Index; 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate ABS Index; and 20% Bloomberg US Treasury Bills Index. Bloomberg Short-Term Corporate Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. dollar denominated, investment grade, fixed rate, corporate securities with a remaining maturity from 1 day up to (but not including) 12 months and have at least $250 million par amount outstanding. Bloomberg US Aggregate ABS Index represents the ABS components of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs, and total return performance of fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible investment grade debt issues with at least $300 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity. Bloomberg  US Treasury Bills Index is an unmanaged index comprised of publicly-issued U.S. Treasury bills with a remaining maturity from 1 day up to (but not including) 12 months. It excludes zero coupon strips. The inception date of the reference benchmark is 12/31/04. The indexes are not available for direct investment.

The indices are not available for direct investment. The Fund’s holdings are materially different than the composition of the indices. The Fund does not measure its performance success nor alter its construction in relation to any particular benchmark or index.

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. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

Asset-Backed Securities ("ABS") are subject to risks due to defaults by the borrowers; failure of the issuer or servicer to perform; the variability in cash flows due to amortization or acceleration features; changes in interest rates which may influence the prepayments of the underlying securities; misrepresentation of asset quality, value or inadequate controls over disbursements and receipts; and the ABS being structured in ways that give certain investors less credit risk protection than others.

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.

Foreign investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Illiquid investments subject the Fund to the risk that it may not be able to sell the investments when desired or at favorable prices.

Asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions, made by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., whose discretionary investment advisory 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 Limited Duration Fund was rated against the following numbers of Ultrashort Bond category funds over the following time periods: 191 funds in the last three years, 154 funds in the last five years, and 75 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these Ultrashort Bond category funds, the BBH Limited Duration Fund (Class I & Class N), received an Overall Morningstar Rating of 5 stars and 5 stars, respectively. Class I three-, five- and ten-year periods received ratings of 5 stars, 5 stars and 5 stars, respectively. Class N three-, five- and ten-year periods received ratings of 5 stars, 5 stars and 5 stars, respectively.
