Source: Baillie Gifford & Co, FTSE . ## Proposition The Trust aims for long -term capital growth which takes priority over income. This is pursued through applying a patient approach to investment, principally from a differentiated, actively managed global equity portfolio containing a diversified range of growth stocks – companies with above average earnings growth – which we expect to hold for around five years on average. Investments are made on an unconstrained basis. The portfolio, which includes stocks with a range of different growth profiles, will typically contain 100+ stocks from around the world and Monks should not be viewed as a proxy for any index. ## Geographic Analysis of Total Assets 1 United Kingdom 3.6 % 2 Europe 15.5 % 3 North America 58.3 % 4 Japan 4.6 % 5 Developed Asia 2.9 % 6 Emerging Markets 13.8 % 7 Net Liquid Assets 1.3 % ## Sector Analysis of Total Assets 1 Technology 36.1 % 2 Industrials 18.6 % 3 Consumer Discretionary 18.2 % 4 Financials 10.3 % 5 Health Care 8.4 % 6 Energy 1.9 % 7 Basic Materials 1.7 % 8 Real Estate 1.4 % 9 Consumer Staples 1.4 % 10 Telecommunications 0.6 % 11 Net Liquid Assets 1.3 % ## Top Ten Holdings Holdings % of Total Assets 1 Microsoft 4.5 2 Meta Platforms 4.4 3 Amazon.com 3.8 4 NVIDIA 3.7 5 Prosus 3.5 6 TSMC 3.4 7 The Schiehallion Fund Limited 2.9 8 Elevance Health Inc. 2.3 9 Mastercard 2.2 10 Service Corporation International 2.1 Total 32.8 ## Performance Periodic Performance (%) 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Share Price 5.6 24.3 26.4 184.4 NAV 6.2 28.2 44.7 188.4 Index* 7.8 36.0 80.6 199.5 ## Discrete Performance (%) 31/03/20 - 31/03/21 31/03/21 - 31/03/22 31/03/22 - 31/03/23 31/03/23 - 31/03/24 31/03/24 - 31/03/25 Share Price 66.9 -17.5 -12.7 18.7 1.4 NAV 67.4 -9.4 -7.8 20.1 0.0 Index* 39.9 14.9 -0.7 22.5 4.8 Performance source: Morningstar, FTSE, total return in sterling. *FTSE World Index . 1 2 3 4 6 1 2 3 4 5 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 May 20 May 21 May 22 May 23 May 24 May 25 Indexed Share Price – The Monks Investment Trust PLC NAV – The Monks Investment Trust PLC Index* Additional Trust Information Full product details, including a Key Information Document, the possible effect of charges on an investment, are available on request, please see below for contact details. In this document all references to NAV and NAV performance are calculated with borrowings deducted at fair value. Borrowings at fair value is borrowings (if any) at an estimate of their market worth. The total borrowings disclosed in this document are at par value. All performance figures are in sterling terms, total return – that is, with any dividends reinvested. The graph represents five years’ performance, to the date at the top of the document, and has been indexed to start at 100 (this aids comparison and is not a reflection of actual values at any given date). The discrete performance table is updated quarterly. Gearing is calculated according to Association of Investment Companies (AIC) guidelines. The gross gearing figure reflects the amount of borrowings at par drawn expressed as a percentage of shareholders’ funds. The gearing figure reflects the amount of borrowings at par less cash and cash equivalents actively invested, expressed as a percentage of shareholders’ funds. Active share, a measure of how actively a portfolio is managed, is the percentage of the portfolio that differs from its comparative index. It is calculated by deducting from 100 the percentage of the portfolio that overlaps with the comparative index. An active share of 100 indicates no overlap with the comparative index and an active share of zero indicates a portfolio that tracks the comparative index. Annual turnover is a measure of portfolio change or trading activity in a portfolio. Turnover is calculated as the minimum of purchases and sales in a month, divided by the average market value of the portfolio , summed to get rolling 12 month turnover data. A negative cash position may sometimes occur due to obligations awaiting settlement. Baillie Gifford & Co Limited’s annual remuneration is 0.45% on the first £750 million of total assets, 0.33% on the next £1 billion of total assets and 0.30% on the remaining total assets, where total assets is defined as the total value of all assets held less liabilities (other than any liability in the form of debt intended for investment purposes). The ongoing charges figure represents the total operating costs of the Trust divided by the average net assets (with debt at fair value) as disclosed in the most recently published Annual Report and Financial Statements There are no additional one -off, ongoing or incidental costs charged by the Trust when its shares are traded. As such, costs have been shown as nil (0.00%) in the costs table of the Trust’s Key Information Document. This reflects the temporary exemption from the PRIIPs Regulation and other assimilated EU law provided by the FCA to investment companies. The dividend yield quoted is historical. It is based on dividends paid by the Trust in the previous 12 months as a percentage of the share price. It includes any non -recurring special dividends paid by the Trust in the prior year. All figures are rounded, so any totals may not sum . ## Further Information This factsheet is issued by Baillie Gifford & Co Limited, Calton Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN.

The value of their shares, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested. The specific risks associated with the Trust include: — The Trust invests in overseas securities. Changes in the rates of exchange may also cause the value of your investment (and any income it may pay) to go down or up. — The Trust invests in emerging markets where difficulties in dealing, settlement and custody could arise, resulting in a negative impact on the value of your investment. — Unlisted investments such as private companies can increase risk. These assets may be more difficult to sell, so changes in their prices may be greater. — The Trust can borrow money to make further investments (sometimes known as "gearing" or "leverage"). The risk is that when this money is repaid by the Trust, the value of the investments may not be enough to cover the borrowing and interest costs, and the Trust will make a loss. If the Trust's investments fall in value, any invested borrowings will increase the amount of this loss. — Market values for securities which have become difficult to trade may not be readily available and there can be no assurance that any value assigned to such securities will accurately reflect the price the Trust might receive upon their sale. — The Trust can make use of derivatives which may impact on its performance. — Share prices may either be below (at a discount) or above (at a premium) the net asset value (NAV). The Company may issue new shares when the price is at a premium which may reduce the share price. Shares bought at a premium may have a greater risk of loss than those bought at a discount. — The Trust can buy back its own shares. The risks from borrowing, referred to above, are increased when a trust buys back its own shares. — The aim of the Trust is to achieve capital growth. You should not expect a significant, or steady, annual income from the Trust. — The Trust is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
