Equity income and multi-asset income

Our equity and multi-asset-income strategies aim to generate dependable income for you while maintaining or growing the inflation-adjusted value of your capital over the long term.

What are the strategies’ characteristics?

Global Equity Income and its responsible variant invest in 50 to 80 companies offering sustainable and dependable growth. We seek to create capital growth and a dependable income, both accounting for inflation. Sustainable Income invests in global equities, ‘real assets’ – such as property and infrastructure – and fixed income. It pays a higher level of steady current income than equity-only income portfolios while seeking to maintain the inflation-adjusted value of capital and income over time. 

How do we invest in these income strategies?

Our Global Income Growth team manages the Equity Income strategies. It seeks cash-generative and capital-light firms with defensible competitive positions, which pay dividends as well as reinvest for growth. 

Multi Asset Income is managed by a Portfolio Construction Group. It draws in specialists from across Baillie Gifford. Asset class diversification reduces vulnerability to short-term volatility.
