Capital at risk

Investment strategy

Managed

The Managed Strategy combines Baillie Gifford’s best regional equity and global bond investment ideas, balanced by an allocation to cash. We have the flexibility to manage a portfolio in line with your bespoke asset allocation needs and have been running portfolios in this way for over 30 years. The Managed Fund (a UK OEIC) is the Strategy’s flagship pooled vehicle.

Bringing the best opportunities together

For over three decades, the Managed Strategy has brought together exciting opportunities in equities and bonds balanced by an allocation to cash. Our best ideas, all in one place.

Agile investing, flexible and balanced

Our aim 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. While bonds and cash are held to provide balance versus equities, the Strategy does not have a volatility target. Indeed, we view shorter-term volatility as a necessary part of the journey towards achieving superior long-term returns.

The Strategy provides a balanced approach to investing, not only through the exposure it offers to different asset classes and geographies around the world but also by holding a diverse array of growing companies. 

An approach that’s simply different

Our expertise lies in bottom-up stock and bond picking. We invest in growing businesses from the UK, Europe, North America, emerging markets and developed Asia, as well as attractive opportunities in corporate and government bonds. This approach, 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, over five-10 years and beyond.

What could be simpler than a portfolio that brings together Baillie Gifford’s best ideas across the three most fundamental asset classes?
