This Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement is made as of September 19, 2024, by and between Brown Advisory LLC (the "Adviser") and Wellington Management Company LLP (the "Sub­Adviser") and effective on September 30, 2024.

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of June 29, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the "Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to Brown Advisory Funds, a Delaware statutory trust and an open-end management investment company (the "Trust"), which has filed a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and the Securities Act of 1933; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is comprised of several separate investment series, one of which is the Brown Advisory – WMC Japan Equity Fund (the "Fund"); and

WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are each registered as investment advisers with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"); and

WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement permits the Adviser to delegate certain of its investment advisory duties under the Advisory Agreement to one or more sub-advisers; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to avail itself of the services, information, advice, assistance and facilities of an investment adviser experienced in the management of a portfolio of securities to assist the Adviser in performing services for the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser represents that it has the legal power and authority to perform the services contemplated hereunder without violation of applicable law, including the Advisers Act, and desires to provide such services to the Adviser; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Fund are intended to be third party beneficiaries of the arrangements described herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is agreed as follows:

1.Appointment of the Sub-Adviser. The Adviser hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser to provide a continuous investment program for that portion of the Fund designated by the Adviser as assigned to the Sub-Adviser (the "Segment" of the Fund), subject to such written instructions and supervision as the Adviser may from time to time furnish. The Sub-Adviser hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The Sub-Adviser will provide the services under this Agreement with

1

respect to the Segment in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions as stated in the Fund's most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and as the same may, from time to time, be supplemented or amended and in resolutions of the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Adviser agrees to furnish to the Sub-Adviser from time to time copies of all Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and of all amendments of, or supplements to, such Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and of all resolutions of the Trust's Board of Trustees applicable to the Sub-Adviser's services hereunder and agrees that the Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for complying with such documents and/or instructions unless and until such documents and/or instructions have been provided to the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as expressly provided or authorized (whether herein or otherwise), have no authority to act for or represent the Adviser, the Fund or the Trust in any way.

2.Sub-Advisory Services. Subject to such written instructions and supervision as the Adviser may from time to time furnish, the Sub-Adviser will provide an investment program for the Segment, including investment research and management with respect to securities and investments, including cash and cash equivalents in the Segment, and will determine from time-to-time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by and within the Segment. The Sub-Adviser will exercise full discretion to implement such determinations through the placement, on behalf of the Fund, of orders for the execution of portfolio transactions through such brokers or dealers as it may select. The Sub-Adviser's broker selection shall be conducted in accordance with its Policies and Procedures on Order Execution, as may be amended from time to time. Sub-Adviser may utilize the personnel of its affiliates (including affiliates outside of the United States) to assist it with providing its services under this Agreement, provided that Sub-Adviser: will remain solely responsible for the provision of services under this Agreement; will supervise the personnel of its affiliates and subject them to its Code of Ethics; and represents that it will satisfy the conditions adopted by the SEC staff with respect to utilizing personnel of affiliates. In addition, the Sub-Adviser may utilize unaffiliated third-party data service providers in effecting compliance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions, and the Sub-Adviser shall not be held responsible for any losses resulting from non-compliance with the investment objective, policies and applicable restrictions where the Sub-Adviser has reasonably relied on information provided by third-party data service providers.

In fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder, the Sub-Adviser agrees that it will:

a. use reasonable care and act in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state laws and regulations in rendering the services it agrees to provide under this Agreement;

b. conform with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and in addition will conduct its activities under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable regulations of any government authority pertaining to the investment advisory activities of the Sub-Adviser and shall furnish such written reports or other documents substantiating such compliance as the Adviser reasonably may request from time to time;

c. not make loans to any person to purchase or carry shares of beneficial interest in the Trust or make loans to the Trust;

2

d.place orders pursuant to investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with an underwriter, market maker or broker or dealer ("Brokers"). The Sub-Adviser will act in good faith and with reasonable skill and care in the selection, use and monitoring of Brokers and, in placing orders, the Sub-Adviser will use its reasonable best efforts to seek best execution of such orders, considering all relevant circumstances. Subject thereto, neither the Sub-Adviser nor any of its affiliates will be liable for the performance of the obligations, or acts or omissions of Brokers with respect to any transaction placed on behalf of the Fund. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent permitted by law, effect portfolio securities transactions through brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services (within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or for the benefit of the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion. Subject to the review of the Trust's Board of Trustees from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of the policy, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to cause the Fund to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Trust or the Adviser may, from time to time in writing, direct the Sub-Adviser to place orders through one or more brokers or dealers and, thereafter, the Sub-Adviser will have no responsibility for ensuring best execution with respect to such orders. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of the Sub-Adviser as principal except as may be permitted by the 1940 Act or an exemption therefrom. The Sub-Adviser may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or other investments to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Fund with similar transactions executed by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Sub-Adviser's other clients. Such aggregated orders (including associated expenses) will be allocated by the Sub-Adviser as set forth in the Sub-Adviser's Policy and Procedures Regarding Allocation of Trades, as may be amended from time to time. If the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that the transaction is in the best interest of each client, securities may be purchased on behalf of the Fund from, or sold on behalf of the Fund to, another client of the Sub-Adviser, subject to the Sub-Adviser's Policy and Procedures on Order Execution. Unless otherwise instructed by the Adviser in writing, the Sub-Adviser will effect foreign exchange transactions through the Fund's custodian for income repatriation and when country-specific regulations and/or local market practice call for such execution. These transactions will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Adviser's agreement with its custodian. The Adviser acknowledges Brokers may request information about the Fund from the Sub-Adviser in connection with the Brokers' anti-money laundering or client identification obligations. The Sub­ Adviser is hereby authorized to furnish such information to such Broker based on information provided to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser. In addition, the Adviser agrees that, upon request, the Adviser will promptly provide the Sub-Adviser with such information about the Fund or documentation relating to it as the Sub-Adviser may reasonably request in order to respond to a Broker's request. In certain circumstances,

3

the Sub-Adviser may require the Adviser to enter into trading or other agreements directly with a Broker;

e. maintain all necessary or appropriate records with respect to the Fund's securities transactions for the Segment in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to Section 31 (a) of the 1940 Act, and will furnish the Trust's Board of Trustees and the Adviser such periodic and special reports as the Board and Adviser reasonably may request. The Sub-Adviser is not the official pricing agent with respect to the Fund, but will provide reasonable assistance to the Adviser in valuing the securities held in the Segment upon request (e.g., fair value recommendations). The Sub-Adviser endeavors to value all securities at fair market value as determined by the Sub-Adviser in good faith and in accordance with its Pricing Policies and Procedures;

f. treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Adviser and the Trust all records and other information relative to the Adviser and the Trust and prior, present, or potential shareholders, and will not use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except that subject to prompt notification to the Trust and the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may divulge such information to its independent auditors and regulatory authorities, or when so requested by the Adviser and the Trust; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Sub-Adviser from (1) advertising or soliciting the public generally with respect to other products or services, regardless of whether such advertisement or solicitation may include prior, present or potential shareholders of the Fund or (2) including the Adviser and Trust on its general list of disclosable clients;

g. in conducting its fiduciary functions, Sub-Adviser will exercise independence with respect to investment decisions, in that it will not inquire or take into consideration whether the issuers of securities proposed for purchase or sale for the Fund's account are customers of the Adviser, other sub-advisers, the Sub-Adviser or of their respective parents, subsidiaries or affiliates. In dealing with such customers, the Sub-Adviser and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not inquire or take into consideration whether securities of those customers are held by the Trust;

h. to the extent reasonably requested by the Trust, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to assist the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust in respect of Rule 38a-l under the 1940 Act upon request including, without limitation, providing the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust with (i) copies of the compliance policies and procedures of the Sub-Adviser, (ii) a compliance report concerning the Sub-Adviser's compliance program in connection with the annual review thereof by the Trust required under Rule 38a-l, and (iii) upon request, a certificate of the chief compliance officer of the Sub-Adviser to the effect that the policies and procedures of the Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Federal Securities Laws (as such term is defined in Rule 38a- l );

i. vote all proxies for securities held in the Segment in accordance with the Sub­ Adviser's Proxy Voting Policy and maintain records concerning how it has voted such proxies on behalf of the Fund, and those records shall be made available to the Trust

4

upon request for use in connection with the preparation and filing of the Trust's Form N-PX, provided that Sub-Adviser will provide the Chief Compliance Officer annually with a summary of any material changes to the Sub-Adviser's Proxy Voting Policy;

j. render, upon the reasonable request of the Adviser or the Trust's Board of Trustees, written reports concerning the investment activities of the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Sub-Adviser's Segment of the Fund; and

k. not consult with any other adviser to (i) the Fund, (ii) any other series of the Trust or

(iii) any other investment company under common control with the Trust concerning transactions of the Fund in securities or other assets. (This shall not be deemed to prohibit the Adviser from consulting with any of its affiliated persons concerning transactions in securities or other assets.)

3.Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in performing its services under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any expenses of the Adviser or the Trust, including without limitation: (a) their interest and taxes,

SCHEDULE B

To the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between Brown Advisory LLC and

Wellington Management Company LLP

MASTER AGREEMENTS REPRESENTATIONS

The Adviser understands that the Sub-Adviser has negotiated master agreements and related documents (including custodial undertakings in relation to repurchase agreements) on behalf of its clients (each, a "Master Agreement"). The Master Agreements govern transactions in cleared and non-cleared derivatives, exchange-traded futures and options, foreign exchange (FX) forwards and options, and similar instruments, as well as certain security forward trades and repurchase transactions (collectively, "Transactions").

To become a party to these Agreements, the Adviser must first confirm certain standard representations and terms set out below. The Adviser recognizes that the provisions of the Master Agreements have been negotiated to benefit clients generally and cannot be amended through changes to this Schedule.

This Schedule does not grant the Sub-Adviser any additional investment authority to engage in particular FX, derivative, repurchase or security forward transactions nor does it expand the scope of permitted investments under this Agreement or the investment guidelines contained in the Fund's most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Accordingly, by executing this Agreement, the Adviser confirms to the Sub-Adviser that:

The Sub-Adviser has full authority as investment adviser to (i) engage in Transactions subject to applicable investment guidelines, including discretion to transact on swap execution facilities or similar trading venues and to engage in block trades, (ii) enter into Agreements on the Fund's behalf with counterparties and open accounts with trading venues and SEFs, (iii) provide relevant "know your customer" and other required information (which may include client account formation documents, tax forms, financial information (e.g., an account's assets under management) and investment management agreements (with fee information redacted) provided to a counterparty's legal and credit personnel on a confidential basis) and (iv) receive on the Fund's behalf required investment disclosures and other similar information from counterparties. With respect to Transactions, the Fund is not relying on the recommendations (if any) of any dealer or other counterparty.

The Adviser further represents and warrants the following on behalf of each current and future account of the Adviser managed by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement:

*The Sub-Adviser is authorized to use and disclose information concerning Transactions to meet applicable reporting requirements, including the reporting of information to a swap data repository, swap execution facility or a similar trading venue. To the extent that applicable non-

disclosure, confidentiality, bank secrecy or other law imposes nondisclosure requirements on Transaction information otherwise required to be reported, but permits the Adviser to waive those non-disclosure requirements by consent, the Adviser hereby consents to waive those requirements to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

*The Adviser is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of the Adviser's organization and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing. The Adviser will have and wi11 endeavor to maintain the necessary powers, consents, and licenses, and have taken all necessary actions to enable the Sub-Adviser, to lawfully execute and deliver Agreements, to engage in Transactions, to grant security interests in, or transfer title to, margin or collateral, and otherwise to perform the obligations relating to the Master Agreements. Such execution, delivery and performance do not and will not violate or conflict with any law, regulation or agreement applicable to the Adviser, the Fund, any provision of the Adviser's constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to the Adviser or the Funds' assets, or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Adviser or the Funds' assets. Accordingly, the Master Agreements to which we become a party will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations upon the Fund, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and principles of equity.

*There is not pending, nor to the Adviser's knowledge threatened against the Fund, (or any guarantor of the Adviser's obligations under a Master Agreement, if applicable) any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Master Agreements or the Funds' ability to perform its obligations under the Master Agreements.

*The Adviser recognizes that standard master agreements contain a waiver of immunities and so authorize the Sub-Adviser to enter into Master Agreements on the Funds' behalf that waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any immunity (on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from: (i) suit; (ii) jurisdiction; (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property; (iv) attachment of assets; and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which the Fund might otherwise be entitled in any proceeding relating to the Agreement.

The Adviser hereby agrees to notify the Sub-Adviser promptly of any change in circumstances that would make untrue any of the statements contained herein.
