About BGEZX

The Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Ex China Fund Class K is an actively managed mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities across emerging markets, while explicitly excluding China from its portfolio. By focusing on emerging and frontier markets outside of China, the fund caters to investors who seek exposure to the broader opportunities within developing economies but wish to avoid the significant weight that China typically holds in traditional emerging market benchmarks. The fund employs a growth-oriented strategy, favoring companies with strong management and sustainable competitive advantages, and uses thorough bottom-up fundamental research to select holdings. As of mid-2025, the fund holds a diversified portfolio of roughly 62 securities, with notable allocations to markets such as Taiwan and India. The fund is benchmarked against the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index, reflecting its targeted investment universe. Its management emphasizes a long-term, active approach, aiming to capture structural growth trends across sectors like technology, financials, and consumer goods within emerging regions, while maintaining a relatively low portfolio turnover.
