Brown Advisory has applied to launch the WMC Japan Equity fund, according to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The proposed fund would be solely subadvised by Wellington Management Company.
The fund, which has yet to list tickers for individual or institutional shares, lists Wellington’s Katsuhiro Iwai as PM.
According to the preliminary prospectus, the strategy aims to mainly invest in the equity securities of companies that either are based in Japan or those that conduct most of their business in the country.
