About The Baillie Gifford Japan Trust

(Get Free Report)

The Trust aims to pursue long-term capital growth principally through investment in medium to smaller sized Japanese companies which are believed to have above average prospects for growth. We invest in a spread of 40–70 companies, predominantly medium and smaller sized, that we believe offer good growth opportunities. Growth may come from innovative business models, disrupting traditional Japanese practices or market opportunities, such as growth from overseas. We aim to take a three to five year view and the Trust is managed by looking at the underlying investments rather than the benchmark which is TOPIX total return.
