As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Equities Fund seeks capital appreciation.
The fund invests in equity securities of companies in emerging and frontier markets represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, using a bottom-up stock selection process focused on long-term growth prospects, competitive advantage, and management quality rather than tracking the benchmark. The portfolio typically holds 60 to 100 companies and may concentrate significantly in single countries, particularly China. Because the fund's country and sector weightings are not constrained by the benchmark, performance may diverge materially from it. The fund holds securities for long periods, expects minimal currency hedging, and may invest in China A shares, unregistered securities, and IPOs.
