Source: Baillie Gifford & Co. Data shown from December 1910 to June 2025. Rebased to 1 at December 1910. Logarithmic scale chosen to more clearly display the consistent share price growth over time. A logarithmic scale is a way to display numerical data where each unit of measurement represents a multiplicative factor of the previous value, rather than a simple additive increase. Market value of investments not stated and cannot be deduced. NAV per share calculated on book value and thus probably understated. Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
