About Baillie Gifford

Baillie Gifford is one of the UK's leading independently owned investment management firms. It is owned and run by 57 of its senior executives who operate as a partnership, a structure which has endured for over a century and which provides stability for clients and motivation for employees. It enables us to manage the business for the future as well as the present, with the emphasis on genuine long–term thinking rather than short-term targets.

As of January 2024, funds under management and advice totalled more than £225bn, a sizeable figure but one achieved by steady organic growth rather than by merger or acquisition.
