About BGEUX
Baillie Gifford International Growth Fund Class 3 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation through investment in international equities. The fund's primary mandate is to identify and invest in growth companies outside the United States that demonstrate the potential to outperform the market over time. Driven by a growth-oriented investment style, the fund typically holds a diversified portfolio of more than 50 global stocks, emphasizing sectors such as information technology, consumer discretionary, and financials, which together comprise a significant portion of its assets.
As of September 2025, the fund consists of 58 holdings, with top positions in well-known international firms like Spotify, TSMC, ASML, Adyen, and Sea Limited. Its strategy maintains a high active share, indicating a substantial deviation from its benchmark (MSCI ACWI ex US Index), and manages an average turnover rate that reflects a long-term investment perspective. The fund’s approach weights company-specific research and a five-year investment horizon, aiming for substantive earnings growth and strong return on equity compared to peers. While it seeks substantial growth, investors should note the fund's exposure to risks associated with non-U.S. markets, growth-oriented stocks, and sector concentration, making it a distinctive vehicle for participating in global innovation and expansion.
