Key Features
About the FundVanguard Active Global Growth Fund, managed by Baillie Gifford, seeks to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies from around the globe that are considered to have above-average growth potential. The fund invests in 70 -120 growth stocks in well-managed businesses which enjoy sustainable competitive advantages and grow their earnings at a faster rate than the market over the long term. Based on the characteristics of each company, Baillie Gifford categorises stocks into one of four growth profiles: stalwart, rapid, cyclical and latent; in recognition that companies grow at different rates.
