About BGLTX
The Baillie Gifford Long Term Global Growth Fund Class 2 is an institutional mutual fund with a primary focus on achieving long-term capital appreciation through investment in global equities. The fund employs an unconstrained, stock-driven strategy, specifically seeking out exceptional growth companies across both developed and emerging markets. Rather than adhering to benchmark weightings or geographic limitations, the fund's managers use fundamental, bottom-up analysis to select businesses they believe possess outstanding long-term growth prospects. Key characteristics include a highly concentrated portfolio, typically holding between 30 and 60 companies, with a significant portion of assets in its top holdings. The fund's investments are diversified geographically—often allocating at least 40% of assets to non-U.S. companies—and it targets firms with market capitalizations generally above $4 billion at the time of purchase. The fund's approach emphasizes investing in transformational growth businesses in sectors such as technology, consumer cyclical, healthcare, and communication services. Over time, the strategy is designed to capture significant growth potential while accepting that short-term volatility may be elevated relative to broader global indices. The fund is benchmarked to the MSCI ACWI Index, reflecting its global mandate and competitive performance standards.
