Baillie Gifford has over 100 years of global investment experience and over 30 years serving LGPS clients. Our primary goal is to add value over the long term – we achieve this through a single focus on active management. This means that our priorities are aligned with those of our clients as we commit to improving LGPS member outcomes through long-term sustainable investments.
We are long-term investors, not speculators. Our investment philosophy focuses on growth while our universe is global. Accordingly, we believe that fundamental analysis and proprietary research are core to a successful, long-term, bottom-up investment approach. From our head office in Edinburgh we are able to harness this intellectually curious and rigorous approach – where the sharing of ideas and robust debate between our investment teams are central to our investment process.
The result is a successful business that continues to grow organically. We now manage and advise over £217bn in specialist equity, fixed income and multi-asset portfolios for a global client base.
