Type The information contained in this document and the methodologies for calculating risks, costs and potential returns are prescribed by law. The Product is an ordinary share in a closed-ended investment company, a company whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Objectives The Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust plc ('the Company') is an actively managed, low cost investment Company that invests in a reasonably well diversified portfolio of assets. The Company aims to maximise total return over the long-term from investment primarily in shares of companies from across the globe. The Managers look for strong, well run businesses which offer the best potential durable growth opportunities for the future and aim to achieve a greater return than the FTSE All-World Index (in sterling terms) ('the Index') over a 5 year rolling period, although the Company's portfolio is constructed without any reference to the index and will not replicate it. The majority of the portfolio will be held in quoted equities and up to a maximum of 30% of the assets may be invested in companies not listed on a public market (measured at the time of purchase). The Company can borrow money to invest with the intention of increasing returns (sometimes known as gearing) but in a falling market losses may thus be magnified. The Company's assets are held through the Company's Depositary, which is The Bank of New York Mellon (International) Limited. To obtain further and other practical information, including financial statements, and regulatory documentation please see the Other Relevant Information section of this document. Intended retail investor The Trust is suitable for all investors seeking a fund that aims to deliver total returns, predominantly driven by capital growth, over a long-term investment horizon. The investor should be prepared to bear losses. The Trust is aimed at mass market distribution. The Trust may not be suitable for investors who are concerned about short-term volatility and performance, who are seeking a regular source of income or who may be investing for less than 5 years. The Trust does not offer capital protection. # What are the risks and what could I get in return? Risk Indicator The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets. # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Lower risk Higher risk The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for a minimum of 5 years. The actual risk can vary significantly if you cash in at an early stage and you may get back less. We have classified this product as 6 out of 7, which is the second-highest risk class. You may not be able to sell your product easily and you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts on how much you get back. This classification only reflects historic share price volatility of the Company's shares. It excludes other risks inherent in the product and, therefore, does not show the full risk to the investor so even the lowest risk class can lose your money particularly during adverse market conditions. Gearing, exposure to emerging markets, which includes China, and private companies, foreign currencies, derivatives and the ability of the Trust to buy back its own shares may increase risk. This product does not include any protection from future market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment. # Purpose This document provides you with key information about this investment product.

Page 1 of 3 Investment performance information The Company is a listed UK company. The value of its shares and any income from those shares can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested. The main factors likely to affect returns for the investors include (and in no particular order): (a) investment strategy including portfolio concentration (b) nature of the underlying assets as the Company may also invest in companies not listed on a public market (c) broader economic and market conditions (d) use of gearing and (e) level and volatility of the discount/premium, which investors should review when considering the purchase of shares. The Company is actively managed and no index is used for the purposes of determining or constraining the composition of the Company but for comparative purposes the Company is measured against the FTSE All-World Index (`Index'). The Company invests in equities for the long term with the aim of providing a total return in excess of the Index. The Company does not set out to reproduce the index and there may be periods when the performance and volatility diverges significantly from the Index. What could affect my return positively? The Company aims to produce long term capital growth by investing in an actively managed global equity portfolio. The Company invests with a long-term perspective and has a strong preference for growth. The Company looks for significant upside in each stock it invests in, including those companies not listed on a public market. The Company's ability to invest in private companies provides investors with the opportunity to benefit from a broader range of growth businesses which would be much harder to access directly. Investment decisions are driven by rigorous, fundamental, bottom-up analysis. The Company believes that these investment decisions will ultimately lead to returns for long-term growth investors. The Company uses gearing to increase its investment exposure. Such leverage can present opportunities for increasing total returns. What could affect my return negatively? The Company invests in emerging markets where difficulties in dealing, settlement and custody could arise. Risks of a negative return may be increased as the private company investments may be harder to sell. The use of gearing can increase losses. If income and capital appreciation on investments acquired with borrowed funds are less than the costs of the leverage, the Company's net asset value will decrease. Gearing increases the investment exposure so if the market moves adversely the loss to capital would be greater than if not leveraged. There is no right of redemption or encashment attached to the shares and if the Company is wound up, following a default or otherwise, shareholders will be paid any surplus assets after meeting the Company's liabilities in proportion to their shareholdings. There is no fixed maturity date. Market conditions can change rapidly, for example through developments such as military conflict, changes in government policy, or for any other global factors like natural disasters or pandemics. This may lead to securities being difficult to trade and a widening of any discount particularly when there are severely adverse market conditions. # What happens if Baillie Gifford & Co Limited is unable to pay out? As the shares are not traded directly with the Company or Baillie Gifford & Co Limited but are traded on the London Stock Exchange, any default by Baillie Gifford & Co Limited will not materially affect the value of your shares. However, a default by the Company or any of the underlying holdings could affect the value of your investment. As the shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange, any direct holding of these shares is not covered by any investor compensation schemes in relation to either Baillie Gifford & Co Limited or the Company. # What are the costs? The Company incurs operating expenses, including management fees, which are disclosed in the Annual Report and Financial Statements. These operating expenses are not deducted from the value of your investment as these expenses are already accounted for in the Company's share price. As such, costs have been shown as nil (0.00%) in the table below and have not been calculated in accordance with PRIIPs methodology. The Reduction in Yield (RIY) shows what impact the total costs you pay will have on the investment return you might get. The total costs take into account one-off, ongoing and incidental costs. The amounts shown here are the cumulative costs of the product itself, for three different holding periods. They include potential early exit penalties. The figures assume you invest GBP 10000. The figures are estimates and may change in the future. Costs over time The person selling you or advising you about this product may charge you other costs. If so, this person will provide you with information about these costs, and show you the impact that all costs will have on your investment over time.

Recommended holding period: 5 years The recommended holding period of 5 years has been selected. Equity investments should be seen as long-term investments however there is no minimum (or maximum) holding period for the shares. The shares can be sold when the markets on which they trade are open, in this instance the London Stock Exchange.
