  • The popular FTSE 100 fund invested in this UK growth stock back in 2020, and it's done the polar opposite of what Nvidia has done since.

The article from Fool.co.uk discusses the performance of Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (SMIT) over the past five years, highlighting its investment in Nvidia and a contrasting loss from another FTSE growth stock. SMIT's investment in Nvidia, a leading AI and graphics processing company, resulted in a staggering 2,475% return, significantly boosting the trust's overall performance. However, this success was offset by a substantial loss on another investment, a FTSE growth stock, which saw an 83% decline in value. The article does not specify the name of the FTSE stock but uses this example to illustrate the high-risk, high-reward nature of SMIT's investment strategy. It also touches on the broader implications of such investment choices, emphasizing the importance of diversification and the potential for both significant gains and losses in growth stock investments.
