About BGEKX

Baillie Gifford International Growth Fund Class K is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation through investment in international growth equities. The fund primarily targets common stocks and other equity securities of companies located outside the United States, including both developed and emerging markets, with the flexibility to invest up to 10% of its assets in U.S. companies. Employing a growth-oriented strategy, the fund seeks out firms believed to have the potential for substantial long-term earnings expansion, conducting research with a multi-year horizon and constructing a high-conviction portfolio typically holding around 50 or more securities. Distinct for its high active share and relatively low turnover, the fund is not constrained by traditional benchmarks and is managed with a long-term perspective. Key portfolio sectors include technology, consumer cyclical, industrials, healthcare, and communication services, with top holdings often representing leading international innovators. The fund maintains a competitive expense structure and aims to offer investors diversified exposure to global growth trends through rigorous company selection and a disciplined investment process.
