Vident acts as sub-adviser to new fund from
leading independent global investment management and strategic
advisory firm
Vident Asset Management (“Vident”), a leading provider of a
range of asset management and sub-advisory services, is today
congratulating its client Brown Advisory on the launch of the Brown
Advisory Flexible Equity ETF (BAFE).
BAFE launched on November 18, 2024, with $913 million in
assets.
Vident acts as sub-advisor for BAFE, the first ETF from Brown
Advisory, a fund designed to provide investors with exposure to
domestic equities utilizing Brown Advisory’s proprietary “Flexible
Equity” methodology which seeks to provide long-term performance in
value names in both growth and value market cycles.
In bringing this fund to market, Brown Advisory and Vident
partnered to utilize a 351 transaction to convert a number of
Brown’s separately managed accounts into this single new ETF, given
the potential that the ETF wrapper has to provide improved tax
treatment and other benefits for Brown Advisory clients.
“We are thrilled to help welcome our colleagues at Brown
Advisory to the fast-growing ETF ecosystem,” said Amrita
Nandakumar, President of Vident. “Both of our firms have a
commitment to putting the client first in all that we do, so it has
been a true pleasure to work with their team on the journey from
idea to launch day. We congratulate them on the launch of BAFE,
which adds a powerful new portfolio construction tool to the
building blocks available for advisors and investors.”
