Investment thesis

Scottish Mortgage pursues a patient, long-term approach to owning exceptional growth companies, with a distinctive focus on hard-to-reach private businesses across major global megatrends including AI, fintech, logistics, biotech, quantum computing and consumer platforms. By investing early and holding for years, the trust aims to benefit from the compounding of early conviction positions. Its structure as a listed, liquid, low-cost investment trust is intended to let ordinary shareholders access private companies that most public-market investors cannot easily reach, spanning multiple sectors and geographies.
