Global equities drive stronger returns than cash
BlackRock analysis, FactSet and Bloomberg, July 2024. Cumulative returns to end-2023.
It's time to tap out of cash
Potential for more
Every dollar in the bank could be a missed opportunity to realise more growth, to earn more income, and to benefit from the mega forces reshaping our world.
Global equities deliver
A $100 investment in global equities five years ago could have returned nearly eight times more than cash or money market funds. That outperformance grows the longer you stay invested.

BlackRock Systematic Global Equity High Income Fund
Combines data-driven insights and human experience into an innovative global income fund.
Inflation and the potential for falling interest rates are constantly eroding the ability of cash to deliver income. Meanwhile, technology and Artificial Intelligence are empowering us to uncover unique income opportunities from all corners of the world. Combining this with human experience and expertise enables us to deliver the right outcomes.
The big question we have been hearing from clients is, ‘How can AI help us invest?’
Hi, I’m Rui Zhao, a portfolio manager within BlackRock’s Systematic Active Equity team.
With so many stocks in the global market, it’s extremely difficult for human investors to analyze all the information available from a multitude of sources on their own, and then extract useful insights of all the companies such as the company’s products, profitability, and growth prospects. That is where the benefit of AI come in, and why we have been using it across our systematic platform.
We began using AI back in 2008 - building infrastructure that accumulate all the big data, and train machines to analyze the data.
We assess a universe of five thousand securities every day, constantly advancing our machine learning technique and evolving the signals that we use to generate alpha more effectively.
These signals can help us identify trending products among consumers, such as products recommended by online influencers, and assess investor sentiment from social media posts across different platforms and languages. We can also spot early red flags in company documents exchanged with regulators, which may indicate a potential negative impact on shareholder value.
So by using AI in our investment process, we can strive to better forecast returns and generate consistent income for our clients.

- BlackRock Global Unconstrained Equity Fund seeks to achieve long term capital growth. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities and equity-related securities (namely American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs)) of companies domiciled in, or exercising a significant part of their economic activity in, global developed markets. Investment decisions are based on company-specific research to identify and select equity securities that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, have a viable competitive advantage and the potential to produce attractive long-term capital growth. The Fund’s portfolio is expected to be concentrated (i.e. it is expected to hold relatively few stocks in comparison to other funds), but there is no guarantee that this will always be the case.
- The Fund's investments in equities could incur significant losses due to higher fluctuation of equity values. The Fund’s investments are expected to be concentrated in fewer stocks in larger weightings and certain global developed markets. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments.
- The Fund is subject to currency risk, small/mid cap companies’ volatility and liquidity risks, and currency conversion risk including Renminbi denominated Classes.
- The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for investment purposes. However, usage for investment purposes will not be extensive. The Fund may suffer losses from its derivatives usage.
- The value of the Fund can be volatile and can go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that a certain amount of your investment could be lost.

BlackRock Global Unconstrained Equity Fund
Invests selectively in exceptional companies, seeking to deliver long-term outperformance and growth.
In a world that seems to be constantly changing, it can be easy to forget that the best investment approach is often the simplest: identify exceptional companies and stay invested in them for the long term.
Over the years we’ve seen the investment landscape evolve dramatically. The industry has tied itself in knots trying to make something which, at its heart should be quite straightforward, into something of astonishing complexity.
They’re trying to solve for multiple competing issues, attempting to deliver consistent alpha while also ensuring acceptable performance volatility relative to a benchmark on a quarterly or annual basis. In order to do this, investors then have to trade frequently to time economic cycles, changes in bond yields, and so on - all within statistical risk parameters. The chances of a misstep whilst trying to juggle these competing factors is astonishingly high. The greatest threat to any portfolio is the risk of being repeatedly whipsawed, and it’s precisely this that leads to so many investors buying high and selling low.
How about we simply redefine our opportunity set and just invest all our capital in the world’s best companies and then leave it there for years, and years, and years. And that’s what the global unconstrained equity fund is. We invest all the assets into those few extraordinary companies that are both great now, and which we believe are highly likely to still be great in 10 years time.
So, if long-term capital growth is the primary objective, then we should just focus on that, and ignore all the noise. We start by completely ignoring the benchmark and then - build a portfolio which adheres to the following objectives:
- Identify the rare companies that we believe have a very high likelihood of sustaining high returns for a decade and longer.
- Select a small number of them in a concentrated portfolio to maximise their impact.
- Hold them for a long time and allow them to compound for years and years.
This is what we mean by unconstrained investing. It’s a deeply fundamental, extremely simple approach designed for optimists who believe that the extraordinary opportunity set offered by equity markets could offer something better than benchmark returns. We therefore aim to invest in the winners.

BlackRock World Technology Fund
Provides access to the massive growth of artificial intelligence and global tech companies.
We are just at the dawn of AI. It is already reshaping our lives and sparking massive change across industries, supply chains and geographies – bringing with it a decades-long investment opportunity.
So the big question our clients in Asia are asking is the tremendous run that we have seen in the technology sector – if it's over, if it's hype, and will it continue?
Hi I'm Tony Kim. I'm the lead portfolio manager of the technology strategy for BlackRock.
My answer to this question is we're just getting going. And this is going to be the predominant theme for the rest of this decade. We are just in the early stages of the build out in the development, for AI and how that translates to the technology sector.
We look at AI from a full stack perspective, where we, decompose all the elements of AI, everything from energy to compute to software to models to data and to applications. We then look at all of those categories and subcategories, and we are investing along this whole stack.
We believe that this is going to continue throughout this decade. And so, in no means is it over. In fact, it's just beginning.
Tap into the future
Hear why investing across the AI stack could help to future-proof portfolios.
