Reg S - is a safe harbor that defines when an offering of securities will be
deemed to come to rest abroad and therefore is not subject to the registration
obligations imposed under Section 5 of the 1933 Act. The regulation includes two
safe harbor provisions: an issuer safe harbor and a resale safe harbor. In each
case, the regulation demands that offers and sales of the securities be made
outside the United States and that no offering participant (which includes the
issuer, the banks assisting with the offer and their respective affiliates)
engage in "directed" selling efforts. In the case of issuers for whose
securities there is substantial U.S. market interest, the regulation also
requires that no offers and sales be made to U.S. persons (including U.S.
persons physically located outside the United States).
At March 31, 2011, the aggregate cost of investment securities for income tax
purposes was $343,766,423. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $114,536,201
of which $123,157,239 related to appreciated investment securities and
$8,621,038 related to depreciated investment securities.

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (CONCLUDED)
MARCH 31, 2011 (UNAUDITED) BAILLIE GIFFORD EMERGING MARKETS FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in
active markets for identical securities and for similar securities in
active and inactive markets)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing
the Fund's assets carried at fair value:
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
Common Stocks $ 108,297,983 $ 311,387,816 $ -
Preferred Stocks 32,904,173 5,712,652 -
-------------------------------------------
TOTAL $ 141,202,156 $ 317,100,468 $ -
===========================================
Fair value of Level 2 investments at 12/31/10 was $374,741,792. $44,007,087 was
transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1 at 3/31/11 as a result of using
third-party vendor modeling tools to reflect any (lack of) significant market
movements between the time which the Fund valued its securities and the earlier
closing of foreign markets.
It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair
value as of the beginning of the period.

Reg S - is a safe harbor that defines when an offering of securities will be
deemed to come to rest abroad and therefore is not subject to the registration
obligations imposed under Section 5 of the 1933 Act. The regulation includes two
safe harbor provisions: an issuer safe harbor and a resale safe harbor. In each
case, the regulation demands that offers and sales of the securities be made
outside the United States and that no offering participant (which includes the
issuer, the banks assisting with the offer and their respective affiliates)
engage in "directed" selling efforts. In the case of issuers for whose
securities there is substantial U.S. market interest, the regulation also
requires that no offers and sales be made to U.S. persons (including U.S.
persons physically located outside the United States).
At March 31, 2011, the aggregate cost of investment securities for income tax
purposes was $628,595,461. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $142,063,875
of which $147,200,526 related to appreciated investment securities and
$5,136,651 related to depreciated investment securities.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in
active markets for identical securities and for similar securities in
active and inactive markets)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing
the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1 at 3/31/11 as a result of using
third-party vendor modeling tools to reflect any (lack of) significant market
movements between the time at which the Fund valued its securities and the
earlier closing of foreign markets.
It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair
value as of the beginning of the period.

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (CONCLUDED)
MARCH 31, 2011 (UNAUDITED) BAILLIE GIFFORD EAFE CHOICE FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reg S - is a safe harbor that defines when an offering of securities will be
deemed to come to rest abroad and therefore is not subject to the registration
obligations imposed under Section 5 of the 1933 Act. The regulation includes two
safe harbor provisions: an issuer safe harbor and a resale safe harbor. In each
case, the regulation demands that offers and sales of the securities be made
outside the United States and that no offering participant (which includes the
issuer, the banks assisting with the offer and their respective affiliates)
engage in "directed" selling efforts. In the case of issuers for whose
securities there is substantial U.S. market interest, the regulation also
requires that no offers and sales be made to U.S. persons (including U.S.
persons physically located outside the United States).
At March 31, 2011, the aggregate cost of investment securities for income tax
purposes was $101,422,581. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $11,237,036 of
which $14,549,737 related to appreciated investment securities and $3,312,701
related to depreciated investment securities.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in
inactive markets for identical securities and for similar securities in
active and inactive markets)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in valuing
the Fund's assets carried at fair value:
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
Common Stocks $ 8,899,535 $101,983,416 $ -
Preferred Stocks 1,776,666 - -
---------------------------------------
TOTAL $10,676,201 $101,983,416 $ -
=======================================
Fair value of Level 2 investments at 12/31/10 was $92,984,680. $750,133 was
transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1 at 3/31/11 as a result of using
third-party vendor modeling tools to reflect any (lack of) significant market
movements between the time at which the Fund valued its securities and the
earlier closing of foreign markets.
It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair
value as of the beginning of the period.
