About BGATX
The Baillie Gifford Global Alpha Equities Fund is an actively managed mutual fund designed for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation from a diversified global portfolio. Its primary purpose is to identify and invest in companies around the world that show the potential for sustainable, above-average earnings growth over many years, without strict adherence to a specific benchmark but with reference to the MSCI ACWI Index for context. The fund targets a wide opportunity set, investing across developed and emerging markets, and typically prioritizes growth-oriented companies with strong competitive advantages, robust management teams, and favorable long-term prospects. Under normal circumstances, it maintains at least 40% of its assets in non-U.S. companies, highlighting its global reach and flexibility in navigating varying market conditions. The Baillie Gifford Global Alpha Equities Fund stands out for its concentrated, research-driven approach, holding between 70 and 120 stocks, and features relatively low turnover due to its long-term investment horizon. This strategy is designed to deliver differentiated returns while participating in the growth trajectory of leading global enterprises across technology, consumer, healthcare, and other key sectors.
