LAUNCHED IN 1929 , MONKS HAS AROUND £ 1.2BN IN NET ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT , WHILE ITS ONGOING CHARGE IS A MODEST 0.59 %*. A MEASURED STRATEGY AIMING FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH .

Monks Investment Trust , we believe , could be a core investment for anyone seeking long-term growth . It is managed by Baillie Gifford ’ s Global Alpha team who are also responsible for looking after some £ 28bn on behalf of clients across the globe . As a result , Monks takes a highly active approach to investment and its portfolio looks nothing like the index . The managers like to pick from what they believe are the best ideas available at Baillie Gifford and take a measured approach to portfolio construction . They invest in around 100 stocks , which allows for excellent diversification , and offers the chance to unearth some of the more interesting companies listed on global stock markets .
