The Institutional Class shares feature a net expense ratio of 0.91%, a minimum initial investment of $1 million, and are available to qualified institutional investors in the United States. Geographically, the fund invests across developed and emerging markets, with significant allocations to the United States (approximately 39-45%), Latin America (e.g., Argentina via MercadoLibre), Canada, India, South Korea, the Netherlands, and others; top holdings as of late 2024/early 2025 include MercadoLibre Inc., NVIDIA Corp., Shopify Inc., Coupang Inc., and Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

Launched on April 30, 2012, and headquartered with its investment adviser in New York, New York, the fund is part of Baron Capital's suite of growth-oriented strategies and had net assets of approximately $561-666 million as of September 2025. Recent developments at Baron Capital, the fund's manager, include the launch of five actively managed ETFs on December 15, 2025 (Baron First ETF, Durable ETF, ID Cap, Barons ETF, and Baron Technology ETF), expanding into exchange-traded products while leveraging the firm's long-term growth expertise; additionally, in July 2025, Baron expanded its UCITS offerings in Europe with four new funds to attract non-U.S. investors aligned with its conviction-driven strategies. The fund maintains its distinct bottom-up, research-intensive approach under portfolio manager Alex Umansky, who has led since inception, amid Baron Capital's increased emphasis on high-conviction holdings like SpaceX, now the firm's largest investment at about $10 billion.
