Overview

Fund objective

The Pacific Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index, as stated in sterling, over rolling five-year periods. 

The manager believes this is an appropriate benchmark given the investment policy of the Fund and the approach taken by the manager when investing. In addition, the manager believes an appropriate performance comparison for this Fund is the Investment Association Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Sector.

There is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved over any time period and actual investment returns may differ from this objective, particularly over shorter time periods.

Investment proposition

The Fund is positioned as a long-term Asian (ex Japan) growth fund. Our aim is to identify quality companies that will outperform over a 5 year (or longer) time horizon. We have a strong preference for growth. The Fund is relatively index and sector agnostic, as we primarily focus on finding the best long-term Asian (ex Japan) investments irrespective of their country or sector. The Fund benefits from Baillie Gifford's substantial global investment resources, helping to produce a portfolio that typically holds 50-100 stocks with low turnover.

Risk Warnings

Risk Introduction

Investment markets can go down as well as up and market conditions can change rapidly. The value of an investment in the Fund, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested. The specific risks associated with the Fund include:

Custody

Custody of assets, particularly in emerging markets, involves a risk of loss if a custodian becomes insolvent or breaches duties of care.

Emerging Markets

The Fund invests in emerging markets, which includes China, where difficulties with market volatility, political and economic instability including the risk of market shutdown, trading, liquidity, settlement, corporate governance, regulation, legislation and taxation could arise, resulting in a negative impact on the value of your investment. The Fund’s investment in frontier markets may increase this risk.

Foreign Currency

The Fund has exposure to foreign currencies and changes in the rates of exchange will cause the value of any investment, and income from it, to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount invested.

Volatility

The Fund's share price can be volatile due to movements in the prices of the underlying holdings and the basis on which the Fund is priced.

Further Information

Further details of the risks associated with investing in the Fund can be found in the Key Investor Information Document or the Prospectus, copies of which are available at bailliegifford.com.
