Read on the quarter
What the moves add up to
Baillie Gifford & Co kept its portfolio highly concentrated in Q2 2026, with the top 10 holdings accounting for 44.7% of total value (110225053010.0) across 273 positions. The most consequential theme was a clear reinforcement of conviction in advanced technology: a new position in Space Exploration Technologies sits at a 7.97% weight (8781829133.0), joining the existing leadership exposure in Nvidia, which was added and remains at a 7.6% weight (8381531192.0).
Activity counts also show a mix of repositioning and maintenance: 28 new positions, 56 additions, 177 trims, 12 holds, and 26 exits. In the largest trims, exposure was reduced in Amazon.Com (trim; 5.82% weight, 6415604182.0), Mercadolibre (trim; 4.68% weight, 5160761529.0), and several other tech or growth-linked names including Cloudflare (trim; 3.25% weight, 3580743136.0) and Shopify 'A' (trim; 2.94% weight, 3243123464.0). Overall, the quarter reads like a rotation within technology—adding to the strongest weighted positions while systematically trimming a broader set of holdings—rather than a broad de-risking.
Context
How to read this filing
A Form 13F is a quarterly snapshot institutional managers with over $100M in US-listed assets must file within 45 days of quarter end. It shows long equity positions only: no short book, no cash, no non-US listings, no timing inside the quarter. Treat it as a delayed map of where the manager's conviction sat on the reporting date — not a live portfolio, and not a buy list.
