Overview

Fund Objective: The aim of the Fund is to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by investing at least 70% of its total assets in other investment funds (including funds managed by the BlackRock Group). The Fund intends to gain indirect exposure to equity securities (e.g. shares) by investing in other funds which track the performance of equity indices with an emphasis on the UK and North America. The Fund is actively managed. The investment manager has discretion to select the Fund’s investments and in doing so may take into consideration a composite benchmark (i.e. a benchmark comprised of two or more benchmarks) comprising the FTSE All Share Index (50%) and the FTSE World ex-UK Index (50%).

ESG

What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and is an approach for evaluating to what extent a company works towards social goals. For investors this can be used in order to understand how their funds and the assets they are made up of work towards these goals and use that information to help make sustainable investment choices.
