Baillie Gifford Worldwide Sustainable Growth Fund A EUR Acc/  IE00BK5TW834  /

The Fund aims to provide returns, through combined capital growth and income payment, over the long term, by investing primarily in shares of companies globally which have the potential to deliver sustainable growth, excluding companies from certain industries and companies which are inconsistent with the principles of United Nations Global Compact for Business. The Fund will invest at least 90% in shares of companies globally which demonstrate long term sustainable growth prospects. The investment manager defines "sustainable growth" as the potential a company has to (i) deliver enduring growth, being a decade or more of profitable growth, and (ii) make a difference to society by, for example, producing products or services which have a clear positive influence, or promoting business practices that help shape industry standards and inspire wider change. The Investment Manager applies a proprietary qualitative investment process to assess companies' sustainable growth prospects. The Fund applies a revenue-based screen that excludes companies with a defined level of activity in certain sectors, details of which are disclosed in the Prospectus. The Fund will comply with the Investment Managers policy on assessing breaches of the United Nations Global Compact Principles for Business.
