Company information
Baillie Gifford & Co
Imagining the future.
Baillie Gifford was established as an investment management partnership over 100 years ago. Today, with over 1,000 people based in Edinburgh and 695 clients across the globe, we are an independent investment management business with over £180 billion under management.
At Baillie Gifford we do is much more than just buy shares in companies. We think about a company’s potential to grow significantly in the next five to ten years, which is often influenced by many diverse and conflicting factors.
Our work is a million miles from that stereotype of investors who constantly track markets looking for
short-term gains. Instead, our focus is on developing a deep understanding of the underlying drivers behind potential investments. That means questioning everything that happens around us, and anticipating the consequences of local, regional and global events. In other words, we try to foresee what the future holds.
