Baillie Gifford Converts Two Long-Running Growth Mutual Funds Into ETFs

Baillie Gifford launched the Baillie Gifford International Concentrated Growth ETF (BGCG) and Baillie Gifford Long Term Global Growth ETF (BGGG) through the conversion of existing mutual fund strategies into ETF structures. BGCG will typically hold a concentrated portfolio of 20–35 international growth companies across developed and emerging markets, while BGGG invests globally in 30–60 stocks with flexibility to allocate meaningfully to China and other high-growth regions. Both funds employ Baillie Gifford’s bottom-up, long-term growth approach, can invest across market capitalizations and IPOs, incorporate sustainability considerations into research, and generally remain unhedged to foreign-currency movements.
