Our European investment platform
-
BlackRock has built a substantial European presence in fixed-income investing. Our diverse platform and capabilities cover all manner of European assets, from liquid, high-quality bonds to unique private-debt opportunities.
Risk: Two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to repay the principal and make interest payments.

The European Multi-Asset Division uses the core strength of our firm – a collaborative, fundamentally driven investment culture – to create multi-asset solutions that aim to meet the goals of our clients.
Risk: The Fund may invest in a variety of investment strategies and instruments while aiming to be highly diversified in terms of risk and returns. The Fund is therefore directly and indirectly, through its investments, subject to the risks each of these investment strategies and instruments are subject to.

BlackRock has a multitude of European equity products to help clients pursue their equity-investing goals. We use our diverse capabilities and rigorous process to pursue strong performance. We are the leading European Equity manager.
Risk: 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.
