Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to generate an above average level of income on your investment as well as maintain long term capital growth.

The Fund invests globally in the full range of assets in which a UCITS fund may invest, including equity securities (e.g. shares), fixed income securities (such as bonds), funds, cash, deposits and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities).

The Fund is actively managed and the asset classes and the extent to which the Fund is invested in these may vary without limit depending on market conditions and other factors at the investment adviser's (IA) discretion. The IA may refer to a composite benchmark comprising MSCI World Index (50%) and Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index USD Hedged (50%) (the “Index”) for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. The Fund’s portfolio holdings are expected to deviate materially from the Index. The components of the Index (i.e. MSCI World Index and Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index US Hedged) may be quoted separately in marketing material related to the Fund.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company

To the extent the Fund undertakes securities lending to reduce costs, the Fund will receive 62.5% of the associated revenue generated and the remaining 37.5% will be received by BlackRock as the securities lending agent. As securities lending revenue sharing does not increase the costs of running the Fund, this has been excluded from the ongoing charges.
