Baillie Gifford International Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation.
The fund invests in a diversified international portfolio of equity securities from developed and emerging markets, with up to 10% in U.S. stocks, using bottom-up stock selection to identify companies with attractive long-term growth prospects without benchmark constraints. The portfolio managers research factors including competitive advantage, management quality, financial strength, and valuation, typically building a portfolio of at least 50 growth companies held for long periods with the aim to outperform the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. Because the fund aims to hold securities for extended periods and does not actively reduce holdings even when market movements cause it to operate as a non-diversified company, concentrated positions in single countries or regions may persist. The fund maintains full exposure to currency fluctuations and may invest in Chinese A shares, unregistered securities, and IPOs.

How it has done
BGETX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 16.00%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
