Defined benefit pensions
Baillie Gifford has managed institutional pension fund assets for decades and currently counts 9 of the world’s largest 20 pension funds as clients. In the UK, they include private and public sector schemes, as well as assets held by fiduciary managers and platforms.
Long-term focus
Our investment philosophy centres on bottom-up research, considering each company’s fundamentals, sustainability and long-term prospects. We predominantly manage global and regional growth equity portfolios while also providing income-focused, thematic and multi-asset funds. A growing number of our strategies invest partly or exclusively in private companies. We also have impact portfolios that aim to contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive world, as well as deliver financial returns.
One of the leading active managers of growth assets for UK defined benefit pension schemes.
It’s not just money that matters
Like many charities and endowments, you will have high standards, and your requirements may go beyond monetary outcomes. When setting your investment strategy, aligning your investments with these requirements and potentially with your charity’s overall goals is essential. Whether you wish to invest responsibly by not profiting from certain areas, or in a way that emphasises sustainability, or even to focus on impact directly, we can help.
