BBH FUNDS Launches New Class A Shares for the BBH Inflation-Indexed Securities Fund and Website Dedicated to TIPS

 New share class facilitates greater intermediary fund distribution; website serves as education center for inflation-indexed assets

    Brown Brothers Harriman announces the launch of Class A shares for the BBH Inflation-Indexed Securities Fund (Ticker symbol: BBIAX) and a new website, www.tipsfund.com, dedicated to providing investors information about Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities (TIIS, commonly referred to as 'TIPS').
    The new Class A shares are designed to expand the availability of the BBH Inflation-Indexed Securities Fund to additional distribution channels, including wrap accounts, broker-dealer networks and employee defined-contribution plans.
    The BBH Inflation-Indexed Securities Fund invests primarily in securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. Unlike traditional notes and bonds, which pay a stated rate of interest in dollars and are redeemed at their par amounts, IIS have regular adjustments to their interest payments and redemption value to compensate for the loss of purchasing power from inflation.
    Charles O. Izard, President of BBH Funds notes, "Recognition of Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities as a unique asset class has grown substantially since the launch of the TIPS program in 1997. By expanding availability of the fund with our new Class A shares coincident with the launch of our tipsfund.com site, BBH continues to maintain a prominent role in the industry as a thought leader on TIPS."
