About us

We are research-driven, patient and prepared to stand apart from the crowd. And because we’re an independent partnership without outside shareholders, you are our priority. 

What does Baillie Gifford do?

We are an independent investment manager founded in Edinburgh. Much has changed in our 116 years, but our focus on seeking superior, long-term investment returns for our clients has not.

We aim to find game-changing companies and other assets that can sustain growth and remain resilient in a changing world for decades to come.

Our history

Continuity and heritage

Since its inception, Baillie Gifford has dedicated itself to discovering global growth opportunities. Today, we leverage the stability and expertise honed over many decades to serve you.

Our culture

Curious, patient, brave

We are inquisitive, act with a long-term mindset and are prepared to stand
apart from the noisy crowd. These characteristics guide all the decisions
we take on your behalf.

Responsible investment

Invest, responsibly

Growth comes when companies innovate to meet society’s needs. That can involve the electrification of transport or using AI to develop better medicines. We support management’s focus on long-term goals.

Disruption Week 2024

Over four days in November, our 45-minute webinars will explore ‘new horizons of growth’: the renewal of North America’s infrastructure, the increasing appeal of private companies, investment priorities for an ageing society, and why emerging markets have changed.

Host Leo Kelion, Editor at Baillie Gifford, explains more in this short video. If you like what you hear and want to find out more, please register and select the sessions you'd like to attend.
