Baillie Gifford & Co., founded in 1908 by Lt Col Augustus Baillie and Carlyle Gifford and headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, is an independent, partnership-owned investment management firm renowned for its long-term, growth-oriented approach, managing over £230 billion ($290 billion USD) in assets as of late 2024. Focusing primarily on global equities, the firm serves institutional clients like pension funds and retail investors through mutual funds and investment trusts, such as the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, emphasizing fundamental research into innovative, high-growth companies—often holding stakes in firms like Tesla and Amazon for decades.
