Richard Stone, Chief Executive of the Association of Investment Companies (AIC), said: “It’s encouraging to see so many shareholders of Baillie Gifford US Growth and Keystone Positive Change come out and vote on this critical issue. The impressive turnout of retail investors demonstrates what can be achieved when shareholders are informed, enabled and motivated to have a say on their trust.
