BlackRock Cash Fund

Overview

About this Fund

Short-term variable net asset value (STVNAV) short-term money market fund Morningstar Category: GBP Money Market - Short Term. The credit ratings were solicited and financed by BlackRock.

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to achieve a rate of interest on your investment (i.e. a return), consistent with maintaining capital and ensuring that its underlying assets can easily be bought or sold in the market (in normal market conditions). The Fund invests in cash and money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) and up to 10% in units in collective investment schemes (i.e. other investment funds which may be Associated Funds and are specifically classified as Short Term Money Market Funds) denominated in Sterling. The money-market instruments will be issued by both UK and non-UK governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness), non-investment grade or unrated at the time of purchase

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.

Credit risk, changes to interest rates and/or issuer defaults will have a significant impact on the performance of fixed income securities. Potential or actual credit rating downgrades may increase the level of risk. Short Term Money Market Funds do not generally experience extreme price variations. Changes in interest rates will impact the Fund.

The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed.


Investors should understand that capital growth is not a priority for the Fund and that income levels will vary and are not guaranteed.
