Baillie Gifford Reputation

Dear WSO community, would like to hear your thoughts on Baillie Gifford, have you heard of the firm? What is the reputation of the firm? I understand the firm is well known in the UK, but was curious how it is perceived in the US. Many thanks.

 

I'm in the US and am aware of BG because they manage some money through Vanguard. My impression is that they made some good calls on certain growth stocks (e.g Tesla) and some of their funds have had stellar returns in recent years. Not sure how those bets will payoff with rates increasing.

I'm not familiar with anything else they do outside of retail products.
