"The Baillie Gifford EAFE Plus All Cap Fund returned 0.82% in Q3 2025, trailing its benchmark's 4.83% gain due to headwinds in key healthcare and financial holdings, despite strong gains from AI-exposed semiconductor holdings."
During the third quarter of 2025, the Baillie Gifford EAFE Plus All Cap Fund underperformed its benchmark with an Institutional Class return of 0.82% compared to 4.83% for the MSCI EAFE Index. The overall market backdrop saw international equities post growth, led by AI-driven technology stocks, while Europe lagged. Key positive performance contributors were ASML and TSMC, both experiencing strong demand from accelerating AI chip requirements. Detractors included Sysmex Corp, impacted by an IT migration disruption and soft Chinese healthcare market, and United Overseas Bank, which suffered from margin compression. Portfolio changes included initiating new positions in bioMérieux and CaixaBank, with no complete sales executed.
