ETF.net Research

BGGGCBaillie Gifford Long Term Global Growth ETF

RWFRainwater Equity ETF

In short

BGGG Baillie Gifford's flagship concentrated global growth strategy in an ETF wrapper: roughly 40 businesses picked by bottom-up research, index weights ignored. The firm's long-running mutual fund version was reorganized into this ETF in 2026.

RW A 2025 launch from a TCW spinout: Rainwater runs a concentrated, non-diversified global book of durable-growth businesses, measured against the S&P 500, at 0.95% with no fee waiver.

Stated mandate

BGGG The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by actively managing a global portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities. Its managers use bottom-up company research to select businesses with attractive long-term growth prospects without regard to index geographic, industry, sector, or issuer weights.

RW The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is actively managed and invests in companies the sub-adviser considers well positioned for durable growth, with management teams focused on increasing cash flow over the long term.

Why people hold it

  • BGGG At 0.70% a year it comes in under the typical fee in its global-growth cohort, and below active peers like WLTG (0.75%) and TMFG (0.85%).
  • About 40 holdings chosen by company research, with no deference to index country, sector or issuer weights. This is built to look nothing like a global tracker.
  • Not a startup idea: the Long Term Global Growth mutual fund was reorganized into this ETF effective June 1, 2026, bringing the same unconstrained global equity approach.bailliegifford.com
  • RW Real conviction, not closet indexing: a global, all-cap portfolio built from concentrated individual positions, with at least 80% of assets in equities.etfarchitect.com
  • Pedigree you can check: the portfolio manager founded Rainwater Equity after founding and running TCW's New America unit.yahoo.com
  • Plain-English mandate: durable growers run by management teams focused on long-term cash flow, with the S&P 500 as the stated yardstick.

Worth knowing

  • BGGG Concentration cuts both ways: with about 40 names and no index anchor, a handful of positions can drive the outcome.
  • Cheaper competition sits in the same lane: CGGO charges 0.47% and RGLO 0.59%.
  • The ETF wrapper dates to 2026, a shorter trading record than longer-running rivals, and the mandate aims at capital appreciation rather than income.
  • RW At 0.95% with no waiver, it prices above the category median and above peers like CGGO at 0.47% and BGGG at 0.70%.
  • Non-diversified by design, so a handful of names or one hot sector can move it far more than a broad global index fund.etfarchitect.com
  • Young (June 2025) and small, and it trades thinly, so spreads can run wider than in the category's established names.
