"Despite short-term quarterly underperformance driven by specific detractors, the fund remains committed to concentrated growth investing, actively recycling capital into high-conviction AI and digital economy leaders."
During Q4 2025, the Baillie Gifford U.S. Equity Growth Fund underperformed its benchmarks due to notable detractors including Roblox, Duolingo, and Netflix, despite robust operational performance from holdings like Guardant Health and Shopify. The fund adjusted its positioning by initiating new holdings in high-conviction ideas like Alphabet, Coinbase, Medline, and United Therapeutics, while completely exiting mature or lower-conviction companies such as Chewy, Ginkgo Bioworks, Inspire Medical Systems, Pinterest, Sana Biotechnology, and The Trade Desk.
