Invest in our best ideas

For more than two decades, our Global Core Strategy has provided clients with the opportunity to invest in Baillie Gifford’s best regional equity ideas with asset allocation bespoke to their needs.

Long-term growth

Our objective is to deliver capital growth over the long term. The flexibility of our approach means we can accommodate a client-specific benchmark for performance measurement purposes.  

Our expertise lies in bottom-up stock picking. We have an unapologetically long-term, active, growth-focused method for equity investing. This, along with bespoke asset allocations, creates a portfolio that typically looks very different from the index. We believe differentiation is crucial in order to deliver meaningful outperformance, net of fees, in the long term. 

Embracing diversity

The Strategy provides exposure to different geographies around the world and a diverse array of growing companies, while having the flexibility to meet your individual allocation requirements.  

Our regional equity teams cover the UK, Europe ex-UK, North America, emerging markets and developed Asia. We take a diversified approach – the Strategy typically invests in 150 to 200 stocks.

A bet against equities is a bet against human ingenuity. Do so at your peril.
