MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
October 31, 2009 |
1 |
Performance data quoted represents no
guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Mutual Fund
performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or
higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month end
performance and after tax returns, contact the Fund at
1-800-625-5759.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2009 |
1. | Organization. BBH Core Select (the “Fund”) is a separate, diversified series of BBH Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was originally organized under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 16, 1990 as BBH Fund, Inc. and re-organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Fund commenced operations on November 2, 1998. On February 20, 2001, the Trustees reclassified the Fund’s outstanding shares as “Class N”, and established a new class of shares designated as “Class I”. As of October 31, 2009, there were no Class I shares outstanding. At October 31, 2009, there were four series of the Trust. | |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following summarizes significant accounting policies of the Fund: | |
A. | Valuation of Investments. (1) The value of investments listed on a securities exchange is based on the last sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such exchange; (2) unlisted securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market; (3) securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees; (4) short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original maturity when acquired by the Fund was more than 60 days, unless this is determined not to represent fair value by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. | |
B. | Accounting for Investments and Income. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost method. Dividend income and other distributions from portfolio securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or a capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and as a realized gain, respectively. Interest income is accrued daily. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such tax is uncertain. | |
C. | Securities Lending. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers, qualified banks and certain institutional investors. The loans are secured by collateral in an amount equal to at least the market value at all times of the loaned securities plus any accrued interest and dividends. |
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OCTOBER 31, 2009 | 15 |
BBH CORE SELECT |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
During the time the securities are on loan, the Fund will continue to receive the interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the loaned securities while receiving a fee from the borrower or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. The Fund may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities and may share the interest earned on the collateral with the borrower. The Fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. There were no securities on loan as of October 31, 2009. | ||
D. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, the amount of net investment income and net realized gain reported on these financial statements may differ from that reported on the Fund’s tax return due to certain book-to-tax differences such as losses deferred due to “wash sale” transactions and utilization of capital loss carry forwards. These differences may result in temporary over-distributions for financial statement purposes and are classified as distributions in excess of accumulated net realized gains or net investment income. These distributions do not constitute a return of capital. Permanent differences are reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based upon their tax classification. As such, the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the Financial Highlights table may differ from that reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. | |
The Fund is subject to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2009, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the year then ended. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years. |

Expiration date
|
Amount
|
|
10/31/2017 |
$3,890,132
|
Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are
recognized when actually paid.
The difference between
book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily
to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
To the extent future capital
gains are offset by capital loss carry forwards, such gains will not be
distributed.
|
||
F. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

G. | Accounting Developments. In March 2008, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on performance. ASC 815 also requires disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The Fund has adopted ASC 815 and management had determined there is no material impact to the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2009. | |
3. | Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. | |
Investment Advisory and
Administrative Fees. Effective June 12, 2007, under a combined
Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”)
with the Trust, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) through a
separately identifiable department (“SID”) provides investment advisory
and portfolio management services to the Fund. The Fund pays a combined
fee for investment advisory and administrative services calculated daily
and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.80% of the Fund’s
average daily net assets. BBH has a sub-administration services agreement
with Federated Services Company (“FSC”) for which FSC receives
compensation paid by BBH. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund
incurred $1,466,973 for investment advisory and administrative
services.
Shareholder Servicing Fees.
The Trust has a shareholder servicing agreement with BBH for which
BBH receives a fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.25% of Class N shares’ average daily net assets. For the
year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $458,430 for shareholder
servicing services.
Custody and Accounting Fees.
BBH acts as a custodian and shall receive a custody and accounting
fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly. BBH holds all cash
and investments and calculates the daily net asset value. The custody fee
is a transaction based fee with an annual minimum of $30,000, and the
accounting fee is calculated at 0.04% per annum on the first $100 million
of net assets, 0.02% per annum on the next $400 million of net assets and
0.01% per annum on all net assets over $500 million. For the year ended
October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $75,059 for custody and accounting
services. These fees were reduced by $27,452 as a result of an expense
offset arrangement with the Fund’s custodian. In the event that the Fund
is overdrawn, under the custody agreement with BBH, BBH will make
overnight loans to the Fund to cover overdrafts. Pursuant to their
agreement the Fund will pay the Federal Funds overnight investment rate on
the day of overdraft. The total interest paid by the Fund for the year
ended October 31, 2009 was $99.

6. | Principal Risk Factors and Indemnifications. | |
Principal Risk Factors. In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk), failure of a counterparty to a transaction to perform (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), financial performance or leverage of the issuer (issuer risk), difficulty in being able to purchase or sell a security (liquidity risk) or certain risks associated with investing in foreign securities not present in domestic investments (foreign risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are held by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to these risks in respect to these financial assets is included in their value as recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. | ||
7. | Subsequent Event. In accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), adopted by the Fund as of October 31, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events through December 23, 2009. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date. |

The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions. The EAFE has been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index. The EAFE is not
adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the
Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s
performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2009 |
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. BBH International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified series of BBH Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was originally organized under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 16, 1990 as BBH Fund, Inc. and re-organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Fund commenced operations on June 6, 1997. On February 20, 2001, the Trustees reclassified the Fund’s outstanding shares as “Class N,” and established a new class of shares designated as “Class I”. Class I commenced operations on October 30, 2002. Class N and Class I shares have different operating expenses. Neither Class N shares nor Class I shares convert to any other class of the Fund. At October 31, 2009 there were four series of the Trust. | |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following summarizes significant accounting policies of the Fund: | |
A. | Valuation of Investments. (1) The value of investments listed on a securities exchange is based on the last sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such exchange; (2) unlisted securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the counter market; (3) securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees; (4) for securities traded on international exchanges, if events which may materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities occur after the close of the primary exchange and before a Fund’s net asset value is next determined, then those securities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Fund may use a systematic fair value model provided by an independent third party to value international securities; (5) short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original maturity when acquired by the Fund was more than 60 days, unless this is determined not to represent fair value by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. | |
B. | Accounting for Investments and Income. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost method. Dividend income and other distributions from portfolio securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or a capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and as a realized gain, respectively. Interest income is accrued daily. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such tax is uncertain. |

BBH INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
C. | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“Contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency, or to increase or shift its exposure to a currency other than U.S. dollars. The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to these types of Contracts. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the Contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The U.S. dollar values of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund are determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. | |
D. | Foreign Currency Translations. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange of such currency against the U.S. dollar to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Upon the purchase or sale of a security denominated in foreign currency, the Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying security transaction. Reported net realized gains and losses arise from the sales of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency translations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of the assets and liabilities, excluding investments in securities, at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. | |
E. | Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. | |
F. | Securities Lending. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers, qualified banks and certain institutional investors. The loans are secured by collateral in an amount equal to at least the market value at all times of the loaned securities plus any accrued interest and dividends. During the time the securities are on loan, the Fund will continue to receive the interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the loaned securities while receiving a fee from the borrower or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. The Fund may pay reasonable |

|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |

finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities and may share the interest earned on the collateral with the borrower. The Fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. There were no securities on loan during the year ended October 31, 2009. | ||
G. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, the amount of net investment income and net realized gain reported on these financial statements may differ from that reported on the Fund’s tax return due to certain book-to-tax timing differences such as losses deferred due to “wash sale” transactions and utilization of capital loss carry forwards and the recognition of unrealized gains or losses on open forward foreign currency exchange contracts and passive foreign investment companies at year end. These differences result in temporary over-distributions for financial statement purposes and are classified as distributions in excess of accumulated net realized gains or net investment income. These distributions do not constitute a return of capital. Permanent differences are reclassified on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities based upon their tax classification. As such, the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the Financial Highlights table may differ from that reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. | |
The Fund is subject to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2009, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the year then ended. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years. | ||
H. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were as follows: | |

Expiration date

Amount
|
|

Total distributions paid may differ from the
Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends
are recognized when actually paid.
The difference between book-basis and
tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax
deferral of losses on wash sales.
|
||
I. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
J. | Accounting Developments. In March 2008, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on performance. ASC 815 also requires disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The Fund has adopted ASC 815 and management had determined there is no material impact to the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2009. | |
3. | Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. | |
Investment Advisory and Administrative Fees. Effective June 12, 2007, under a combined Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Trust, Brown Brothers Harriman |
BBH INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
& Co. (“BBH”) through a separately identifiable department
(“SID”) provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to
the Fund. The Fund pays a combined fee for investment advisory and
administrative services calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual
rate equivalent to 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. BBH has a
sub-administration services agreement with Federated Services Company
(“FSC”) for which FSC receives compensation paid by BBH. For the year
ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $3,155,691 for investment
advisory and administrative services.
Shareholder
Servicing Fees. The Trust has a shareholder servicing agreement
with BBH for which BBH receives a fee from the Fund calculated daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class N shares’ average daily
net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred
$917,054 for shareholder servicing services.
Custody and
Accounting Fees. BBH acts as a custodian and shall receive a
custody and accounting fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid
monthly. BBH holds all cash and investments and calculates the daily net
asset value. The custody fee is a transaction based fee with an annual
minimum of $30,000, and the accounting fee is calculated at 0.04% per
annum on the first $100 million of net assets, 0.02% per annum on the next
$400 million of net assets and 0.01% per annum on all net assets over $500
million. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $304,878
for custody and accounting services. These fees were reduced by $8,876 as
a result of an expense offset arrangement with the Fund’s custodian. In
the event that the Fund is overdrawn, under the custody agreement with
BBH, BBH will make overnight loans to the Fund to cover overdrafts.
Pursuant to their agreement the Fund will pay the Federal Funds overnight
investment rate on the day of overdraft. As of October 31, 2009 the Fund
had $263,707 outstanding under such arrangement. The total interest paid
by the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2009 was $6,346.
Securities Lending
Fees. The Trust has a security lending agreement with BBH for which
BBH receives a fee from the Fund for each security loaned. For the year
ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred no security lending fees.
Board of Trustees’
Fees. Each Trustee receives an annual fee as well as reimbursement
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses from the Fund. For the year ended
October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $63,724 for these fees.
|
||
4. | Investment Transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales of investment securities other than short-term investments were $132,127,797 and $137,628,851, respectively. |

Principal Risk Factors.
In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities
and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the
market (market risk), failure of a counterparty to a transaction to
perform (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest rate risk),
financial performance or leverage of the issuer (issuer risk), difficulty
in being able to purchase or sell a security (liquidity risk) or certain
risks associated with investing in foreign securities not present in
domestic investments (foreign risk). The value of securities held by the
Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly
involving the companies whose securities are held by the Fund; conditions
affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or
political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate
and price fluctuations. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to these risks
in respect to these financial assets is included in their value as
recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Indemnifications. Under
the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be
indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the
performance of their duties to the Fund,

and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. | |
7. | Subsequent Event. In accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), adopted by the Fund as of October 31, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events through December 23, 2009. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE |
October 31, 2009 |
1 |
Performance data quoted represents no
guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Mutual Fund performance changes over
time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated.
For current to the most recent month end performance and after tax
returns, contact the Fund at 1-800-625-5759.
|
BBH BROAD MARKET FUND |
|
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
1 |
The Fund’s performance assumes the
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Barclays Capital
(formerly Lehman Brothers) U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAG”) has been
adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index.
The BCAG is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees
that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in
the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged.
|
2 |
The BBH Broad Market Fund – Class N commenced
operations on December 22, 2000. Performance prior to December 22, 2000 is
that of the BBH Broad Market Fixed Income Portfolio adjusted to assume
that all charges, expenses and fees of the Class N shares and the
Portfolio which are presently in effect were deducted during such periods,
as permitted by applicable SEC staff interpretations. The Class N shares’
annualized performance from December 22, 2000 (commencement of operations)
to October 31, 2009 was 5.18%.

BBH BROAD MARKET FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2009 |
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. BBH Broad Market Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified series of BBH Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was originally organized under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 16, 1990 as BBH Fund, Inc. and re-organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Fund commenced operations on December 22, 2000. On August 6, 2002, the Trustees reclassified the Fund’s outstanding shares as “Class N”, and established a new class of shares designated as “Class I”. Class I commenced on December 3, 2002. Class N and Class I shares have different operating expenses. Neither Class N shares nor Class I shares convert to any other class of the Fund. At October 31, 2009, there were four series of the Trust. | |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following summarizes significant accounting policies of the Fund: | |
A. | Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed income securities, including restricted securities (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales price if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, use of which has been approved by the Trustees. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. | |
Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trustees. Short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original maturity when acquired by the Fund was more than 60 days, unless this is determined not to represent fair value by the Trustees. | ||
B. | Accounting for Investments and Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses, if any, from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued daily and consists of interest accrued, discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) and premium amortization on the investments of the Fund. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such tax is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related |
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OCTOBER 31, 2009 | 21 |
BBH BROAD MARKET FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. | ||
C. | Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with primary dealers of U.S. Government Obligations as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction or effectively the interest rate paid by the dealer to the Fund. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Investment Adviser. The Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will take possession of the securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Investment Adviser or sub-custodian will monitor the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. At October 31, 2009, the Fund had no open repurchase agreements. | |
D. | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the U.S. dollar value of Fund securities denominated in a particular currency, or to increase or shift its exposure to a currency other than U.S. dollars. The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to these types of contracts. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The U.S. dollar values of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund are determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. At October 31, 2009, the Fund had no open forward foreign currency exchange contracts. | |
E. | Swap Agreements. The Fund may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an exchange of cash payments based on a notional principal amount between the Fund and another party which is based on a specific financial index. These transactions are entered into in an attempt to obtain a particular return when it is considered desirable to do so, possibly at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return. Cash payments are exchanged at specified intervals and recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gains and losses. The expected income or expense is recorded on an accrual basis. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of counter parties to |
BBH BROAD MARKET FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
meet the terms of their contract and from unanticipated changes in the value of the financial index on which the swap agreement is based. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund may use swaps for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. For hedging purposes, the Fund may use swaps to reduce its exposure to interest and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For non-hedging purposes, the Fund may use swaps to take a position on anticipated changes in the underlying financial index. The Fund did not have any swap activity during the year ended October 31, 2009. | ||
F. | Financial Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into open futures contracts in order to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest rates which otherwise might either adversely affect the value of securities held for the Fund or adversely affect the prices of securities which are intended to be purchased at a later date for the Fund. The contractual amount of the futures contracts represents the investment the Fund has in a particular contract and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. Trading in futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The measurement of risk associated with futures contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. Gains and losses are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts held by the Fund are valued daily at the official settlement price of the exchange on which it is traded. The Fund did not have any financial futures contracts during the year ended October 31, 2009. | |
G. | Rule 144A Securities. The Fund may purchase securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, but that can be sold to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with the requirements stated in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (Rule 144A Securities). A Rule 144A Security may be considered illiquid and therefore subject to the 15% limitation on the purchase of illiquid securities, unless it is determined on an ongoing basis that an adequate trading market exists for the security. Guidelines have been adopted and the daily function of determining and monitoring liquidity of Rule 144A Securities has been delegated to the Investment Adviser. All relevant factors will be considered in determining the liquidity of Rule 144A Securities and all investments in Rule 144A Securities will be carefully monitored. Information regarding Rule 144A securities is included at the end of the portfolio of investments. | |
H. | Securities Lending. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers, qualified banks and certain institutional investors. The loans are secured by collateral in an amount equal to at least the market value at all times of the loaned securities plus any accrued interest and dividends. During the time the securities are on loan, the Fund will continue to receive the interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the loaned securities while receiving a fee from the borrower or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower | |
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OCTOBER 31, 2009 | 23 |
BBH BROAD MARKET FUND |
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
October 31, 2009 |
will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. The Fund may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities and may share the interest earned on the collateral with the borrower. The Fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. There were no securities on loan during the year ended October 31, 2009. | ||
I. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, the amount of net investment income and net realized gain reported on these financial statements may differ from that reported on the Fund’s tax return due to certain book-to-tax timing differences such as losses deferred due to “wash sale” transactions and utilization of capital loss carryforwards. These differences result in temporary over-distributions for financial statement purposes and are classified as distributions in excess of accumulated net realized gains or net investment income. These distributions do not constitute a return of capital. Permanent differences are reclassified on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities based upon their tax classification. As such, the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the Financial Highlights table may differ from that reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. | |
The Fund is subject to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2009, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the year then ended. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund did not incur any such interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years. | ||

$ | 8,178,876 | ||
|
Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because, for tax purposes, dividends are recognized when actually paid. | ||
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. | ||
To the extent future capital gains are offset by capital carryforwards, such gains will not be distributed. | ||
K. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

L. | Accounting Developments. In March 2008, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on performance. ASC 815 also requires disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The Fund has adopted ASC 815 and management had determined there is no material impact to the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2009. | |
3. | Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. | |
Investment Advisory and Administrative Fees. Effective June 12, 2007, under a combined Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Trust, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) through a separately identifiable department (“SID”) provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to the Fund. The Fund pays a combined fee for investment advisory and administrative services calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. BBH has a sub-administration services agreement with Federated Services Company (“FSC”) for which FSC receives compensation paid by BBH. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $1,852,277 for investment advisory and administrative services. | ||
Shareholder Servicing Fees. The Trust has a shareholder servicing agreement with BBH for which BBH receives a fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of Class N shares’ average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $602,054 for shareholder servicing services. | ||
Custody and Accounting Fees. BBH acts as a custodian and shall receive a custody and accounting fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly. BBH holds all cash and investments and calculates the daily net asset value. The custody fee is a transaction based fee with an annual minimum of $30,000, and the accounting fee is calculated at 0.04% per annum on the first $100 million of net assets, 0.02% per annum on the next $400 million of net assets and 0.01% per annum on all net assets over $500 million. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $217,894 for custody and accounting services. These fees for the Fund were reduced by $4,229 as a result of an expense offset arrangement with the Fund’s custodian. In the event that the Fund is overdrawn, under the custody agreement with BBH, BBH will make overnight loans to the Fund to cover overdrafts. Pursuant to their agreement the Fund will pay the Federal Funds overnight investment rate on the day of overdraft. As of October 31, 2009, the Fund had $289,992 outstanding under such arrangement. The total interest paid by the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2009 was $136. | ||
Securities Lending Fees. The Trust has a security lending agreement with BBH for which BBH receives a fee from the Fund for each security loaned. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred no security lending fees. | ||
Board of Trustees’ Fees. Each Trustee receives an annual fee as well as reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund incurred $58,490 for these fees. |

Principal
Risk Factors and Indemnifications.
|
Principal Risk Factors. In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk), failure of a counterparty to a transaction to perform (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), financial performance or leverage of the issuer (issuer risk), difficulty in being able to purchase or sell a security (liquidity risk) or certain risks associated with investing in foreign securities not present in domestic investments (foreign risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are held by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to these risks in respect to these financial assets is included in their value as recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

Indemnifications. Under
the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be
indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the
performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified
against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally,
in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with
service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve
future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet
occurred.
|
|
7. | Subsequent Event. In accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), adopted by the Fund as of October 31, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events through December 23, 2009. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date. |
