SCOTTISH AMERICAN INVESTMENT COMPANY
SAINTS’ CORE BELIEF IS
THAT INCOME, GROWTH
AND DEPENDABILITY
MAKE A POWERFUL
COMBINATION.
AGAIN AND AGAIN.
SAINTS (The Scottish American Investment Company) was founded way back in 1873 to invest in American
railways but these days aims to deliver dividend growth ahead of any rise in inflation, mainly from a portfolio
of global equities, though investments are also made in bonds and property. The Trust, which is managed by
Baillie Gifford, seeks out attractive, quality companies which offer long-term growth potential rather than merely
providing a high yield. SAINTS pays out a regular dividend every quarter. It has successfully grown its dividend
every year for more than 35 years – over the last 10 years SAINTS has increased its dividend by 64% compared
to a 27% rise in the Consumer Price Index.*
