How to find long term performance data - Baillie Gifford managed.

As per title. Looking at the info on hl and google searches gives me mostly 5 years data only. Somewhere I have spotted 10 years data. But the fund is launched in 1987 , why can not I find information on earlier years or at least early 2000th ?
Sorry if it is a stupid question.
The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    Use trustnet/charting/tools to get graphs going back in some cases to the early 1990s.    You dont get the exact values but you can read them from the graphs especially if you change the start and end dates.

    And for completeness here is a graphic from fund launch vs MCSI World. Not bad considering its a multi-asset fund.
  • I'm sure I must be missing something but, if we look at the graph from the start, it shows MSCI at around 1,200% and BG 1,600%. So where it says "start of data" in the table this must mean start of the particular index or fund, rather than corresponding to the start date on the chart. ie. MSCI is up more than 14,000% but that must be from when that particular index started being recorded, whenever that may have been.

    Yes, the MCSI index on Trustnet starts in the mid 70s whereas the BG fund is only from 87
