Baron Global Advantage Fund Institutional Shares 

This fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth for investors. It maintains a broadly diversified portfolio, primarily investing in common stocks of companies located worldwide. These companies range from well-established entities to those in emerging markets, with market capitalizations generally comparable to the constituents of the MSCI ACWI Index Net USD. To ensure global exposure, the fund consistently allocates capital to equity securities of companies based in at least three non-U.S. countries. Typically, a minimum of 40% of its total assets will be invested in international companies. However, if foreign market conditions are deemed unfavorable, this allocation may be adjusted to no less than 30% of the fund's net assets.
