Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on its assets.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies incorporated in, listed in, or whose main business is in, the US and instruments related thereto, including financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments whose prices are based on one or more underlying assets). The Fund may also invest in other equities and equity-related securities, deposits and cash.

The Fund’s total assets will be invested in accordance with its ESG Policy as disclosed in the prospectus and at: https://www.blackrock.com/uk/individual/literature/prospectus/blackrock-solutions-funds-icav-esg-policy-emea-gben.pdf. The Fund may obtain indirect exposure (e.g. through FDIs)) to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria.

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.

The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the Fund’s ESG screening prior to investing in the Fund. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.
