Baillie Gifford UK Growth Trust (BGUK) Share Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

The Trust aims to achieve capital growth predominantly from investment in UK listed equities, with the aim of providing a total return in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index. Investments are made with a five year investment horizon and the portfolio is relatively concentrated with between 35 - 65 companies. 10% of the total asset value of the Trust can be invested, at the time of initial investment, in private companies. Sector and industry weightings are a consequence of the index agnostic approach to stock selection. The portfolio does not seek to track or mirror the benchmark, hence a degree of volatility against it is inevitable. The yield on the Trust’s investments is of secondary importance.
