Joe Stellato, Head of U.S. Wealth for Baillie Gifford, joined Julie Cooling, Founder and CEO of RIA Channel, to discuss the recent launch of the firm’s actively managed ETF suite, which includes BGEG, BGCG, BGIA, and BGGG.
Stellato highlights that the active ETF suite features the same strategies, investment processes, teams, and philosophies already available through Baillie Gifford’s mutual fund and separate account offerings, now delivered through a more tax-efficient ETF wrapper. He notes that this launch reflects growing client demand for tax efficiency.
As the active ETF market becomes increasingly competitive, Stellato highlights Baillie Gifford’s differentiated expertise in emerging markets and international equities. He explains that relatively few ETFs are offered in these asset classes, and even fewer take an active, fundamentally driven, long-term, growth-oriented approach.
