Future Focus
A twice-yearly digital magazine for professional investors in the Netherlands, sharing ideas, company stories and perspectives from Baillie Gifford’s investment teams.
Building conviction in what we can’t yet know
Long-term thinking and deep research shape the way we invest. We look for businesses with the ambition, leadership and resilience to grow over many years.
In this edition, we explore why founding culture matters, examine businesses whose entrepreneurial strengths are hard to replicate, and look at companies turning everyday products and services into enduring competitive advantages.
In a world increasingly shaped by short-term noise, Future Focus offers you the chance to step back and consider what matters most over the long term.
