US Growth Trust webinar: vertigo and investing

Thursday 29th January
2.00pm GMT

Periods of rapid invention can be disorienting, but they’re often when the foundations for the next generation of exceptional companies are laid.

Join Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust co-manager Kirsty Gibson to explore what’s changing, what’s enduring, and how we’re navigating the opportunity set across exceptional public and private growth companies in the US.

In this 45-minute webinar, Kirsty will discuss:

  • Why old mental models can fail in moments of fast technological progress
  • What AI could mean for industry structure and competitive advantage
  • How we assess resilience, adaptability and long-run compounding potential in portfolio companies

You can submit your questions in advance of the event to [email protected].


Please note, as with any investment capital is at risk. A Key Information Document for the trust is available on the Baillie Gifford website.
