Multi-asset investing
A multi-asset investment fund combines different types of asset classes to create a nimble and broadly diversified portfolio. Multi-asset portfolios may help you achieve a number of investment outcomes.
Benefits of multi-asset
Multi-asset portfolios allow flexibility to meet investment goals with broad options for investing across sectors, and more diversification than other investment approaches.
Choosing a portfolio
An investment portfolio that works well for one person may not be the best fit for another. As with any investment decision, it's important to first understand what you're trying to achieve and then identify the best portfolio to get there.
Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk.

about BlackRock's multi-asset
funds and solutions.
Unlike a single asset class, these funds are able to invest across the investment landscape and may include equities, alternatives, bonds, and cash. It’s important to note: multi-asset portfolios are not necessarily executed exclusively via multi-asset funds.
Multi-asset portfolios offer enormous flexibility to meet specific investment goals, with broad options for investing across securities and sectors. These types of portfolios also offer more diversification compared to investing solely in fixed income or equity funds.
Many multi-asset funds are actively managed, which means a portfolio manager and team of investors are using analysis, insights, technology, and tools to make informed investment decisions. Multi-asset fund managers may choose to invest more assets overseas, shift assets from equities to bonds, dial back risk, or seek opportunities in non-traditional asset classes – all with the intention of driving better investment outcomes.
A multi-asset portfolio can be a powerful tool for achieving your investment objectives, but a portfolio that works well for one investor may not be the best fit for another. As with any investment decision, it's important to first understand what you're trying to achieve and then identify the best way to get there.
You may want to consult a financial professional for advice on which multi-asset portfolio might be best for you.
BlackRock offers a wide range of multi-asset solutions to help you achieve your investment goals, no matter what they may be.

Figuring out how to invest can be overwhelming and knowing where to start can be half the battle. But any journey becomes a lot clearer when you have a map.
BlackRock’s MyMap range of portfolios offers a set of simple, diversified, cost-effective and risk-managed funds that help take the stress out of investing.
Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk. For illustrative purposes only.
These funds make investments into ETFs that track stock and bond markets, as well as into ETCs, that invest in portfolio diversifiers, such as physical gold. This diversification can protect an investor's returns over time, even when markets are volatile.
ETFs=Exchange Traded Funds. ETC=Exchange Traded Commodities
Interested in investing sustainably? Our ESG-based fund takes into account environmental, social, and governance considerations when selecting its investments.
For the whole MyMap range, our investment process is simple: we aim to capture the investment upside, while managing the risks and costs associated with investing. That means we are focused on three fundamentals: risk, return and cost.
In an increasingly complex world, the solution we can offer – through our MyMap funds - is simplicity. A simple map charting toward a better future.
Risk Warnings
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.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.
Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
