About us
We are an independent investment manager founded over a century ago in Edinburgh, owned and run by 59 partners. A lot has changed in our 117 years, but our focus on seeking superior, long-term investment returns for our clients has stayed constant. Our mission is to find game-changing companies that can sustain growth and provide returns for our clients for decades to come. As of June 2025, funds under management and advice totalled more than £209bn, a sizeable figure achieved by steady organic growth rather than by merger or acquisition.

🎧 Listen: linktr.ee/BaillieGifford Baillie Gifford CEO Tim Campbell explains how our optimistic, long-term and conviction-led approach sets us apart from the pack – and why we believe that makes us better investors. #ActualInvestors
-
From healthcare to financial services: when extraordinary technological breakthroughs are opening up vast opportunities, it takes breadth of vision to turn them into investment success. That’s because #ActualInvestors look at the big picture, not just the small print.
-
We can’t predict how markets will behave, but rigorous analysis gives us a good idea of how technologies will evolve to meet challenges – and which companies will lead the field. That’s because #ActualInvestors think in decades, not quarters.
-
Spotting emerging disruptive technologies is just as important as having the knowledge to envision what bigger, longer-term changes they might lead to. That’s because #ActualInvestors imagine ‘what if’?’, not ‘what is’.
-
Being a quality investor is about sharing a vision of how to deploy capital for growth. That’s because #ActualInvestors build relationships, not just portfolios.
-
The proper aim of an investment business is to direct capital to creating the goods and services that improve everyone’s lives, not just those of a select few. Learn more about what makes us #ActualInvestors: https://lnkd.in/e-HeiTJP

PsiQuantum's latest funding round has raised $1bn to build the world's first one million qubit quantum computer. Private Companies investment manager Luke Ward: “We first backed PsiQuantum six years ago. It’s gone from strength to strength and now positioned at the forefront of what could be a trillion-dollar industry, able to solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges.”
We’ve raised over $1 billion towards our work to build the world’s first million-qubit scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. We are thrilled to have BlackRock, Temasek, and Baillie Gifford lead this round now valuing the company at $7 billion and welcome Macquarie Group, Ribbit Capital, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture arm), Type One Ventures, Counterpoint Global (Morgan Stanley), 1789 Capital, and SVentures (SentinelOne). The round also included participation from existing investors including Blackbird, Third Point LLC, and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. PsiQuantum was founded on the premise that commercially valuable quantum computing requires error correction—and therefore on the order of a million physical qubits. Teams worldwide are now racing to build fault-tolerant systems at this scale, and are increasingly facing scaling challenges of manufacturability, cooling, and networking. PsiQuantum’s thesis is that the unique strengths of photonic qubits, combined with direct leverage of high-volume semiconductor manufacturing, provide a fast path through these barriers. Our teams developed a high-volume manufacturing process for our integrated photonic chipsets—containing all the components required for photonic quantum computing and performing beyond state-of-the-art. Designed by PsiQuantum and fabricated at GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 in New York, these chipsets now incorporate Barium Titanate (BTO), one of the world’s highest-performing electro-optic materials. PsiQuantum produces 300mm BTO wafers at its California facilities and integrates them with wafers from GlobalFoundries, enabling the ultra-high-performance optical switches needed to scale quantum computing. We have not waited until now to scale. At our labs in the UK and at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, our teams have been testing a new cryogenic form factor that eliminates the chandelier-style fridges and enables hundreds of photonic chips to be cooled within a rack-style system. These efforts are expanding as we bring online our new 130,000 sq. ft. test and assembly facility in the South Bay, where we will build our largest test systems to date and expand production of advanced materials, including BTO. And soon, we will break ground on major sites in Brisbane and Chicago, where we will construct the first million-qubit scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. It is exciting that we live in a world where building giant computers is once more in vogue, but this fundraise also reflects an understanding that growth in conventional computing cannot continue forever — there remains extremely lucrative unexplored territory that will only be captured with quantum computing and we are determined to capture it.
