TRUST
The Investment Magazine from Baillie Gifford
Issue Nine Spring 2008
Current Issue
The new Trust online magazine
Welcome to the latest issue of Trust, which celebrates Baillie Gifford's centenary.
In this commemorative edition, we look back over the last 100 years of investment, and look forward to the next 100 years too. Partner Edward Hocknell takes a leap into the future to imagine what the world - and the world of investment - could be like in 2108. We are very proud to have reached our centenary and recognise the trust that our clients have placed in us over the years.
I hope that you enjoy this issue and that we can continue to welcome new customers, as well as serving existing ones through our investment management, in the years to come.
