Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust (LSE: USA) is a large British investment trust dedicated to investments in United States-based companies. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.[1] It is managed by Edinburgh-based investment manager Baillie Gifford[2] and the Chairman is Tom Burnet.[3]
The company was established in 2018.[4] The managers were authorised to have up to 50% of the portfolio invested in unlisted companies, a higher proportion than some other investment trusts.[5]
In December 2025, the US hedge fund, Saba Capital Management, blocked a proposed merger between Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust and Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust.[6]
