The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long-term (5 years or more). The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (e.g. shares) and equity-related securities of companies domiciled in, or whose main business is in, global developed markets. The Fund may also, when determined appropriate, invest in other equity securities and equity-related securities and other asset classes to seek to achieve its investment objective and for liquidity purposes. The Investment Manager (IM) uses fundamental, company specific research to identify and select securities that, in its opinion, have the potential to produce attractive long-term growth. The Fund’s portfolio is expected to be concentrated (i.e. a less diverse portfolio). The Fund has an unconstrained investment style (i.e. it will not take a benchmark index into account when selecting the Fund’s investments). The IM takes into account certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) related characteristics when determining whether an investment is appropriate for the Fund (although ESG is not the sole consideration). The IM will do this by seeking to limit and/or exclude direct investment in companies which, in the opinion of the IM, have certain levels of exposure to, or ties with, certain sectors, as summarised in the Fund’s Prospectus and set out in full on the Fund’s product page at www.blackrock.com. The IM also intends to exclude companies deemed to have failed to comply with the UN Global Compact Principles (which covers human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption). The Fund may have indirect exposure (e.g. through financial derivative instruments (FDIs) and other funds) to issuers with exposures that are inconsistent with the IM’s ESG analysis.
