Baillie Gifford European Growth Trust is a large British investment trust dedicated to investments in companies operating in Continental Europe.
History
The company was established by F&C Asset Management as the Foreign & Colonial Eurotrust in 1972.[1][2] After Edinburgh Partners became the managers,[3][4] it changed its name to the European Investment Trust in 2010.[5]
In 2019 a review of management led to the appointment of Baillie Gifford, and the trust was renamed as Baillie Gifford European Growth Trust.[4][6]
