Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust PLC is an actively managed, low-cost investment trust, investing in a high-conviction global portfolio of companies, with the aim of maximising total returns over the long term. The managers look for strong businesses with above-average returns and aim to achieve a greater return than the FTSE All-World Index (in sterling terms) over a five-year rolling period.
