History

The company was established by F&C Asset Management as the Foreign & Colonial Eurotrust in 1972. [1] [2] After Edinburgh Partners became the managers, [3] [4] it changed its name to the European Investment Trust in 2010. [5]

In 2019 a review of management led to the appointment of Baillie Gifford, and the trust was renamed as Baillie Gifford European Growth Trust. [4] [6]
