Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the Baillie Gifford UK Equity Core Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying fund objective: The objective of the fund is to invest at least 80% directly or indirectly in shares of UK companies, being those which are incorporated, domiciled or conducting a significant portion of their business in the UK. The fund will be actively managed and may invest in UK companies of any size and in any sector. The fund manager will also assess shares in companies which are directly held using a Norms-based Evaluation and will comply with the fund manager investment policy on assessing breaches of the United Nations Global Compact as outlined in the company "ESG Principles and Guidelines" document. The indirect investment will be through collective investment schemes (including those managed or operated by the ACD). The fund may also invest in companies which are listed, quoted or traded in the UK. To the extent that the fund is not fully invested directly or indirectly in shares of such companies, the fund may also invest in other transferable securities of UK companies, deposits and cash. The fund may not invest in or otherwise use derivatives.

Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2025 - The Fund underperformed its index this quarter. Large-cap stocks generally outpaced mid and small-cap peers, reflecting a mixed market backdrop. Defensive names performed well, with several large index constituents not held in the Fund - HSBC, Rolls Royce, British American Tobacco, and BP - contributing to relative underperformance. Among held positions, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Rightmove were notable detractors. Hikma, a leader in branded and generic drugs and high-margin injectables, has delivered solid results this year, but its shares declined again this quarter. Management reaffirmed guidance for steady growth and is investing for the long term. However, concerns over short-term margin pressures in its injectables division - driven by cost inflation, competition, and currency headwinds - have weighed on sentiment. Fund Managers believe this reaction is overly negative and view the shares as undervalued. Rightmove, the property platform, also saw its shares fall despite strong year-to-date performance. First-half results were healthy, but the company flagged slower growth in the second half due to a record period last year. Investor caution may reflect a softer property market and speculation around potential tax changes in the UK budget.
Fund Managers remain confident in Rightmove’s dominant market position and long-term growth potential.
The standout contributor was Just Group, which received a £2.4bn takeover offer from Brookfield, valuing the company at a 70% premium to its market value and 30% above its 12-month high. This validates the Fund’s confidence in its growth prospects. Asian-focused financials Standard Chartered and Prudential also performed well, delivering solid results and maintaining positive momentum.
Other strong performers included companies that have faced recent headwinds but are adapting effectively. Renishaw, a precision-measuring equipment maker, reported better-than-expected results, with strength in semiconductors offsetting weakness in autos. Spirax, which specialises in steam and niche pumping systems, exceeded expectations with broad-based revenue and profit growth. Genus, the animal genetics firm, continued its positive run. Despite recent cyclical pressures, its joint venture in China is gaining traction, positioning it to benefit from the industrialisation of China’s pork industry. FDA approval for its gene-editing project could significantly enhance its porcine genetics business.
Fund Managers acknowledge that this quarter’s underperformance caps a turbulent year. While six-month performance is only slightly behind the index, a volatile Q1 - driven by uncertainty around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs - has weighed on 12-month returns. Over three years, performance is modestly below the index, while five-year returns lag more significantly.
A shift in sentiment since late 2021 towards defensive, value-oriented stocks has challenged growth-focused strategies like this Fund’s. Nonetheless, the Managers remain optimistic. They believe the Fund’s holdings - many of the world’s leading businesses - offer strong long-term potential. With higher forecast earnings growth than the index, these companies are well placed to deliver superior returns over time.

Important Information
Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).

These risk ratings have been developed by Prudential to help provide an indication of a fund’s potential level of risk and reward based on the type of assets which may be held by the fund. Other companies may use different descriptions and as such these risk ratings should not be considered as generic across the fund management industry.
We regularly review our fund risk ratings, so they may change in the future. If, in our view, there is a material change in the fund's level of risk, for example due to a significant change to the assets held by the fund or in the way the fund is managed, we will provide information on the new risk rating. We recommend that you make sure you understand the risk rating of any fund before you invest.
Higher Risk
These are specialist equity funds that focus on set geographical regions or a particular type of share e.g. shares of smaller companies or those that conform to certain criteria.
