Baillie Gifford UK Growth - Looking way beyond the now

18(th) August 2021

Looking way beyond the now

It is now just over three years since Baillie Gifford, an investment management house famed for its growth-focused investment strategies, took over the management of Baillie Gifford UK Growth Trust (BGUK). This move has paid off, with absolute and relative performance versus its peers (in the AIC's UK All Companies sector) improving dramatically, while a marked share price discount to NAV was, until recently, eliminated.

BGUK offers investors the best ideas from Baillie Gifford's UK equities team. Its managers are stock pickers, with a long-term (five-to-10-year) view, whose portfolios are managed with a consistent philosophy, allowing them to look through short-term market noise. While markets fret about the risk of new COVID variants, BGUK's managers are excited about the innovation and prospects they see for their portfolio companies. Today's discount opportunity could prove to be short-lived.
