Why global?
Transformational growth is global – The next generation of exceptional businesses will not emerge from one country or sector. They can come from anywhere. Only a truly global approach gives the best chance of finding them.
Most companies don’t matter – Over the long run, a very small minority of companies drive the bulk of equity wealth creation. Equity investing is not about owning everything. It’s about finding the exceptional few that can grow to many multiples of their current size.
The index is anchored to the past – Broad global indices offer diversification, but they are weighted toward today’s largest companies, not tomorrow’s most consequential ones. For investors who believe the next decade’s returns will be shaped by a different set of businesses than the last, a different kind of equity exposure is required.
Why the Baillie Gifford Long Term Global Growth ETF (BGGG)?
Yes, there’s choice, but it’s mostly “the market” – There’s never been more choice in the global equity ETF market, yet most options are designed to deliver “the market,” with only a handful of Active ETFs seeking to outperform it (illustrated below).
We’re free to go anywhere – BGGG is global, unconstrained and benchmark agnostic. We can back exceptional growth wherever it appears, unconstrained by geography, sector, or index weights. That flexibility is vital when the most exciting opportunities often emerge in unexpected places.
We embrace asymmetry – Equity returns are not evenly distributed. A small number of outliers can drive a disproportionate share of long-term wealth creation. Our process is designed to maximize exposure to the outliers capable of driving disproportionate long-term wealth creation – and to hold them in size, through inevitable periods of volatility
Long-term mindset – Stock prices are unpredictable in the short term, but over time they reflect a company’s true earnings power. When we find a company that can materially grow its profits, we invest with the patience needed for that thesis to play out. Our typical holding period is close to a decade (illustrated below), while others hold for months.
A portfolio built for change – Transformative growth companies benefit from dramatic change, not from the status quo. They harness the power of new technologies rather than being destroyed by them. We look for adaptable companies with visionary leadership, strong cultures and enduring competitive advantages. In a world of accelerating change, we believe those qualities matter more than ever.

As with all ETFs, the value of an investment in the Fund could decline, so you could lose money.
The most significant risks of an investment in the Baillie Gifford Long Term Global Growth ETF are: Investment Style Risk, Growth Stock Risk, Long-Term Investment Strategy Risk, Non-Diversification Risk and Non-U.S. Investment Risk. The Fund is managed on a bottom-up basis and stock selection is likely to be the main driver of investment returns. Returns may differ significantly from those of the benchmark due to the Fund’s active, bottom-up investment approach. The prices of growth stocks can be based largely on expectations of future earnings and can decline significantly in reaction to negative news. The Fund is managed on a long-term outlook, meaning that the Fund managers look for investments that they think will make returns over a number of years, rather than over shorter time periods. The Fund may have a smaller number of holdings with larger positions in each relative to other funds. Non-U.S. securities are subject to additional risks, including less liquidity, increased volatility, less transparency, withholding or other taxes and increased vulnerability to adverse changes in local and global economic conditions. There can be less regulation and possible fluctuation in value due to adverse political conditions. Changes in currency exchange rates and broader market conditions may also affect the value of investments. Other Fund risks include: Asia Risk, China Risk, Conflicts of Interest Risk, Currency Risk, Developed Markets Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Equity Securities Risk, ESG Risk, ETF Structure Risk, Focused Investment Risk, Government and Regulatory Risk, Information Technology Risk, IPO Risk, Large-Capitalization Securities Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk, Market Risk, New and Smaller-Sized ETF Risk, Periodic Rebalancing Risk, Risk Model Risk, Service Provider Risk, Settlement Risk, Small-and Medium-Capitalization Securities Risk, and Valuation Risk.
Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) pose additional risks including that shares trade on an exchange and may trade at a price greater than the NAV (a premium) or less than the NAV (a discount).
Shares bought at a premium may have a greater risk of loss than those bought at a discount. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemable. Shares may only be redeemed directly from the Fund in Creation Units by Authorized Participants (APs). Where an ETF relies on a small number of APs, there is a risk if these APs exit the business or are unable to create or redeem shares. In this situation, Fund shares are more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and could face trading halts.
Although shares are listed for trading on an exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the shares will develop or be maintained. Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market may also incur bid-ask spreads, which represent the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares and may widen during periods of market volatility or reduced liquidity.
Brokerage commissions may apply and will reduce returns. The market price of shares may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors.
For more information about these and other risks of an investment in the Fund see “Additional information about principal strategies and risks” in the prospectus.
