It's critical shareholders in Baillie Gifford US Growth come out and vote. “Shareholders need to act quickly to express their views loud and clear on the future of their investment trust...
"It’s vital that all shareholders make their voices heard at this AGM if they want the investment trust to continue with its current mandate and manager.”

Great interview of Ben Rogoff, manager of Polar Capital Technology Trust by @HelCahill in @TimesBusiness. "And so, it’s right to have a conversation around ethics, but once the genie is out of the lamp there’s no easy solution to that." @AICPRESS tinyurl.com/3c836aws

.@advinvestor thinks the doom about REITs is overplayed in @Telegraph. He likes Grainger and Target Healthcare and for a less focused perspective suggests TR Property Investment Trust. @AICPRESS tinyurl.com/me59duk4

Interesting piece. @trustintel mention the investment trusts -Allianz Technology and Polar Capital Technology as "the route to back the AI industrial revolution." @AICPRESS

Inspiring to hear Ben Rogoff, Manager of Polar Capital Technology Trust on AI. He thinks it’s a huge opportunity and AI is achieving incredible results that are not financially realistic for humans to tackle. But expect to be buffeted! @AICPRESS #investorsummit2026
