The Baillie Gifford WW Pan-European Fund seeks to maximize total returns by actively investing primarily in European companies that adhere to strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

It excludes companies with significant revenues from tobacco, alcohol, gambling, armaments, adult entertainment, or fossil fuel extraction and production, ensuring the portfolio aligns with the United Nations Global Compact principles. By focusing on sustainable and ethically responsible European firms, the fund aims to outperform the MSCI Europe Index.
