Investment Performance
During the period from 23 March 2018, launch date and first trade date, to 30 November 2021, the Company's share price and NAV (after deducting borrowings at fair value) returned 235.3% and 254.3% respectively. This compares with a total return of 101.7% for the S&P 500 Index* (in sterling terms).
This has not been a smooth journey. Since launch, until the end of November 2021, the top fifteen listed holdings of the current portfolio have experienced forty-seven drawdowns of greater than 20%. The largest single peak to trough hit was 86% for Wayfair in March 2019. It has delivered a 267% return for the Company. Total average return of the top fifteen since we first invested is 548% with Tesla topping the list with a 1,798% return. This is asymmetry in action.
During the six months to 30 November 2021, the Company's share price and NAV (after deducting borrowings at fair value) returned 9.4% and 17.2% respectively. This compares with a total return of 17.2% for the S&P 500 Index* (in sterling terms). We have a long-term approach and would ask shareholders to judge performance over periods of five years or more.
We made six additional private company investments over the last six months, Blockstream, Databricks, Discord, Faire Wholesale, Snyk and Solugen, whilst three of our existing private company holdings, Aurora Innovation, Ginkgo Bioworks and Warby Parker, went public in the period. At the end of November, we held positions in twenty-three private companies which collectively comprised 20.8% of total assets.
Portfolio
Investing in innovation and entrepreneurship is hard. Bravery is necessary from both entrepreneurs and investors. Uncertainty and volatility must be embraced. Opening your mind to possibility is essential.
The increased volatility of stock prices over the past six months has led to questions of bubbles, overheating, growth vs. value and what remains exciting. These questions are not unfounded, but most interestingly they are representative of the human condition; the human brain is wired to handle incremental change. The changes the pandemic has rendered have been fast and wide reaching. It is easier to believe we are heading toward a period of stasis, where the new 'normal' is bedded down. But what if we are at the tip of the iceberg of what change is still to come?
Carlota Perez in her book 'Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital' identified five major waves of innovation in the past 250 years. The first was the industrial revolution which started in the 1700s with the opening of Arkwright's mill in Cromford. This was followed by the age of steam and railways in early 1800s, steel and electricity in the late 1800s, oil, cars and mass manufacturing in the early 1900s and the current wave, the information technology revolution. What is most interesting about Perez's work is that all these waves followed a similar pattern. They all took a long time to play out; fifty years or longer in some cases. Each was split into two distinct phases. In the first half of each revolution, the new technologies associated with each of the waves were confined to a relatively small part of the economy and adopted by a few sectors. This created significant turbulence; lots of capital chased a relatively small number of opportunities. Narrow deployment increased income inequality and social unrest. In the second half of the waves, the new technologies started to spread out to the wider economy. This resulted in a golden era for employment, economic growth and opportunity.
Perez calls the turbulent phase the installation phase and the golden era the deployment phase. There is a possibility we are at the turning point between the two phases in the current information technology wave. The ascendance of the internet, mobile and AI have driven this wave. For the last twenty years or so these technologies have been narrowly deployed; mainly in retail and advertising where we have seen the rise of e-commerce giants and big tech platforms. But when we look at the market today, these technologies are spreading out and impacting a far broader range of industries. The golden era may, yet, be ahead of us.
Embracing future potential necessitates accepting uncertainty, alongside opening your mind to possibility. It is critical thinking in the context of upside. In his book 'One from Many', Dee Hock, the founder of Visa, talks of minds being littered with old furniture, old ideas. The challenge is not getting new ideas in, it is getting the old ones out. Because with old ideas come assumptions about how things ought to be, not what they could become. Consider how quickly the human mind jumps to analogy when trying to process an innovation, applying it to existing business models or products. But this is just part of its potential. What comes next is the conceptual breakthrough. The appreciation of doing new things; things we have yet to imagine.
Imagining with conviction is difficult. When Bardeen invented the transistor in 1948, no one predicted the iPhone. That is not unexpected, and we accept we will not predict the future. But we are willing to explore what might be possible; take out our mental sweeping brush and try to rid our minds of old ideas. We push each other to think beyond the multitude of reasons why something will not work or doesn't fit within an existing model or paradigm, and instead ask what the world might look like if a company succeeds.
When Baillie Gifford first bought Illumina, the gene sequencing company, on behalf of our clients we had a tentative hypothesis that sequencing could become the foundation of an entirely new industry. Fast forward ten years and this hypothesis may be becoming a reality. Two holdings in the Company, 10x Genomics, which develops instruments and consumables for the analysis of single cells, and Ginkgo Bioworks, which is looking to harness the power of biology to make just about anything, have both built their businesses upon the foundational technology that Illumina provides.
The idea that banks, or foundational credit card infrastructure players such as Mastercard or Visa, could be commoditised, or potentially routed around in the long run is still very much a hypothesis. However, it is a hypothesis for which the evidence is building. Holdings in Stripe, the global payments platform with a software offering that sits above the current financial system, interacts with it and arguably makes it easier to consume financial services, Brex, which looks to build the financial operating system for start-ups and mid-sized businesses, and Affirm, which seeks to empower consumers through honest financial products, are all looking to disrupt the status quo. They are all 'unbundling' the current financial system. Taking a segment of the traditional finance industry, whether that be credit for Affirm, or payments for Stripe, and redefining how it operates. Yet, it is the opportunity for 're-bundling' which is most exciting but most uncertain. Harnessing alternative business models to combine numerous financial products, some of which we cannot even imagine today.
Embracing conceptual breakthrough necessitates the consideration of companies beyond areas such as FinTech, where our working hypotheses are gaining traction, into new areas where, like genomics ten years ago, our hypotheses remain tentative, but the possibility of asymmetric return looks vast.
Discord, a private, new generation communication platform, and recent purchase for the Company is one such company. Discord is not just a communication platform; it is a hidden world. First designed for gamers, Discord offers a space for people to come together in groups and communities, a 'third space', like a café or a bar, and chat, share and generally hang out. Time has seen its user base expand to include educational groups, fandoms and investing communities particularly in the crypto space. Much like the entities who use Discord, the platform itself feels fluid, changeable and ripe with potential. Whilst the path is not clear, we believe this fluidity and flexibility sets the business in good stead to unlock its opportunity to become the social infrastructure of the metaverse.
Blockstream looks to help bitcoin, and blockchain, realise its potential as financial infrastructure and is another recent purchase for the Company. Many financial functions revolve around updating ledgers, records of who pays what across different institutions. It is an enormous coordination and trust challenge. Blockchain is a decentralised ledger e.g. no one controls or owns it. Changes to the ledger are made by miners, who verify and update it. Whilst impossible to cheat, updating the ledger is slow. It cannot be used for the sorts of assets financial institutions are used to. This is the problem that Blockstream looks to solve through its 'Liquid Network'. Blockstream is creating a sidechain where more frequent trading can take place, which is periodically verified on the blockchain. This is bringing genuine utility to bitcoin. Blockstream's growing network of institutional partners and highly respected founder, Adam Back, has helped us to build conviction in their potential.
Outlook
New innovations often feel odd at first. They don't sit naturally in our view of the world, and the early user experience is often subpar. However, we work to ensure we don't dismiss innovation out of hand. We look to buy exceptional businesses, not themes or sectors. We are bottom-up stock pickers. But to do so, we must build our foundational knowledge. We recognise that many new ideas are often met with derision. However, as mid-century industrial designers Charles and Ray Eames stated, 'toys are preludes to serious ideas' and we strive to remain open minded to potential.
In times of change, it is valuable to recognise those things that will remain constant. We are long-term. We are growth. We have a fundamental belief in the asymmetry of stock market returns. We look for opportunity in change. We, and you as our investors, are venturing. The path for companies driving structural change may not be straight; some paths will weave and wend and turn out to be dead ends. Other paths will branch new opportunities and take us in directions we might not be able to imagine currently. But our rucksack is laden with optimism, patience and excitement. In a world of asymmetric returns, we believe it is better to venture, than not venture at all.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are set out in note 11.

Baillie Gifford Statement on Stewardship
Reclaiming Activism for Long-Term Investors
Baillie Gifford's over-arching ethos is that we are 'actual' investors. We have a responsibility to behave as supportive and constructively engaged long-term investors. We invest in companies at different stages in their evolution, across vastly different industries and geographies and we celebrate their uniqueness. Consequently, we are wary of prescriptive policies and rules, believing that these often run counter to thoughtful and beneficial corporate stewardship. Our approach favours a small number of simple principles which help shape our interactions with companies.
Our Stewardship Principles
Prioritisation of long-term value creation
We encourage company management and their boards to be ambitious and focus their investments on long-term value creation. We understand that it is easy for businesses to be influenced by short-sighted demands for profit maximisation but believe these often lead to sub-optimal long-term outcomes. We regard it as our responsibility to steer businesses away from destructive financial engineering towards activities that create genuine economic value over the long run. We are happy that our value will often be in supporting management when others do not.
A constructive and purposeful board
We believe that boards play a key role in supporting corporate success and representing the interests of minority shareholders. There is no fixed formula, but it is our expectation that boards have the resources, cognitive diversity and information they need to fulfil these responsibilities. We believe that a board works best when there is strong independent representation able to assist, advise and constructively test the thinking of management.
Long-term focused remuneration with stretching targets
We look for remuneration policies that are simple, transparent and reward superior strategic and operational endeavour. We believe incentive schemes can be important in driving behaviour, and we encourage policies which create alignment with genuine long-term shareholders. We are accepting of significant pay-outs to executives if these are commensurate with outstanding long-run value creation, but plans should not reward mediocre outcomes. We think that performance hurdles should be skewed towards long-term results and that remuneration plans should be subject to shareholder approval.
Fair treatment of stakeholders
We believe it is in the long-term interests of companies to maintain strong relationships with all stakeholders, treating employees, customers, suppliers, governments and regulators in a fair and transparent manner. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all governance and we recognise that different shareholder structures are appropriate for different businesses. However, regardless of structure, companies must always respect the rights of all equity owners.
Sustainable business practices
We look for companies to act as responsible corporate citizens, working within the spirit and not just the letter of the laws and regulations that govern them. We believe that corporate success will only be sustained if a business's long-run impact on society and the environment is taken into account. Management and boards should therefore understand and regularly review this aspect of their activities, disclosing such information publicly alongside plans for ongoing improvement.

Notes to the condensed financial statements (unaudited) |

The condensed Financial Statements for the six months to 30 November 2021 comprise the statements set out above together with the related notes below. They have been prepared in accordance with FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the AIC's Statement of Recommended Practice issued in November 2014, updated in April 2021 with consequential amendments, and have not been audited or reviewed by the Auditor pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board Guidance on 'Review of Interim Financial Information'. The Financial Statements for the six months to 30 November 2021 have been prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies as set out in the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2021. |

Going Concern Having considered the nature of the Company's principal risks and uncertainties, as set out above, together with its current position, investment objective and policy, assets and liabilities, and projected income and expenditure, together with the Company's dividend policy, it is the Directors' opinion that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board has, in particular, considered the impact of heightened market volatility since the Covid-19 pandemic but does not believe the Company's going concern status is affected. The Company's assets, the majority of which are investments in quoted securities which are readily realisable, exceed its liabilities significantly. All borrowings require the prior approval of the Board. Gearing levels and compliance with borrowing covenants are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. The Company has continued to comply with the investment trust status requirements of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and the Investment Trust (Approved Company) (Tax) Regulations 2011. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these Financial Statements and confirm that they are not aware of any material uncertainties which may affect the Company's ability to continue to do so over a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements. |

Fair Value Hierarchy The fair value hierarchy used to analyse the fair values of financial assets is described below. The levels are determined by the lowest (that is the least reliable or least independently observable) level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for the individual investment in its entirety as follows: Level 1 - using unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market; Level 2 - using inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are directly or indirectly observable (based on market data); and Level 3 - using inputs that are unobservable (for which market data is unavailable).
An analysis of the Company's financial asset investments based on the fair value hierarchy described above is shown below. Investments held at fair value through profit or loss |

The valuation techniques used by the Company are explained in the accounting policies on page 49 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2021. Listed investments are categorised as Level 1 if they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market and as Level 2 if they do not meet all these criteria but are, nonetheless, valued using market data. The Company's holdings in unlisted investments are categorised as Level 3 as unobservable data is a significant input to their fair value measurements. During the period investments with a book value of £10,542,000 (31 May 2021 - £13,966,000) were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 on becoming listed. |

Glossary of Terms and Alternative Performance Measures ('APM') | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. The APMs noted below are commonly used measures within the investment trust industry and served to improve comparability between investment trusts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Total Assets The total value of all assets held less all liabilities (other than liabilities in the form of borrowings). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shareholders' Funds and Net Asset Value Shareholders' funds is the value of all assets held less all liabilities, with borrowings deducted at book value. Net asset value ('NAV') is the value of all assets held less all liabilities, with borrowings deducted at either fair value or book value as described below. Per share amounts are calculated by dividing the relevant figure by the number of ordinary shares in issue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net Asset Value (Borrowings at Book) Borrowings are valued at nominal par value (book value). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net Asset Value (Borrowings at Fair Value) (APM) Borrowings are valued at an estimate of their market worth. The value of the borrowings at fair is set out in note 7 above and a reconciliation to net asset value with borrowings at book value is provided below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 30 November 2021 | 31 May 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Net Liquid Assets Net liquid assets comprise current assets less current liabilities (excluding borrowings). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount/Premium (APM) As stockmarkets and share prices vary, an investment trust's share price is rarely the same as its NAV. When the share price is lower than the NAV per share it is said to be trading at a discount. The size of the discount is calculated by subtracting the share price from the NAV per share and is usually expressed as a percentage of the NAV per share. If the share price is higher than the NAV per share, this situation is called a premium.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Total Return (APM) The total return is the return to shareholders after reinvesting the dividend on the date that the share price goes ex-dividend. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ongoing Charges (APM) The total recurring expenses (excluding the Company's cost of dealing in investments and borrowing costs) incurred by the Company as a percentage of the average net asset value (with borrowings at fair value). |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gearing (APM) At its simplest, gearing is borrowing. Just like any other public company, an investment trust can borrow money to invest in additional investments for its portfolio. The effect of the borrowing on the shareholders' assets is called 'gearing'. If the Company's assets grow, the shareholders' assets grow proportionately more because the debt remains the same. But if the value of the Company's assets falls, the situation is reversed. Gearing can therefore enhance performance in rising markets but can adversely impact performance in falling markets. Potential gearing is the Company's borrowings expressed as a percentage of shareholders' funds. Invested gearing is the Company's borrowings at par less cash and brokers' balances expressed as a percentage of shareholders' funds. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leverage (APM) For the purposes of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations, leverage is any method which increases the Company's exposure, including the borrowing of cash and the use of derivatives. It is expressed as a ratio between the Company's exposure and its net asset value and can be calculated on a gross and a commitment method. Under the gross method, exposure represents the sum of the Company's positions after the deduction of sterling cash balances, without taking into account any hedging and netting arrangements. Under the commitment method, exposure is calculated without the deduction of sterling cash balances and after certain hedging and netting positions are offset against each other. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Active Share (APM) Active share, a measure of how actively a portfolio is managed, is the percentage of the portfolio that differs from its comparative index. It is calculated by deducting from 100 the percentage of the portfolio that overlaps with the comparative index. An active share of 100 indicates no overlap with the index and an active share of zero indicates a portfolio that tracks the index. |

Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust plc is a listed UK company. The value of its shares and any income from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested. This is because the share price is determined by the changing conditions in the relevant stock markets in which the Company invests and by the supply and demand for the Company's shares. Investment in investment trusts should be regarded as medium to long-term. The Company's risk could be increased by its investment in unlisted investments. These assets may be more difficult to sell, so changes in their prices may be greater. The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.You can find up to date performance information about Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust plc on the US Growth page of the Managers' website at bgusgrowthtrust.com‡
