Overview

  • 01

    BlackRock’s Multi-sector Core and Core Plus strategies are designed to seek consistent, attractive active returns across all market cycles via a dynamic multi-sector approach.

  • 02

    These strategies seek to be more diversified than the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. We focus on continuously evaluating a wide global fixed income opportunity set pursuing the best risk-adjusted return opportunities, with no bias toward any particular subsector.

  • 03

    The team's unique risk budgeting process emphasizes risk factor diversification with the goal of hedging tail risks and managing volatility. The team does not take concentrated bets, which we believe is key to minimizing drawdowns and delivering durable alpha across market backdrops.
