Why Alternative Portfolio Solutions?

BlackRock Alternative Portfolio Solutions designs a wide-range of alternative investment solutions across asset classes and strategies by leveraging the breadth of BlackRock’s platform (through funds and deals), as well as the firm’s proprietary technology. Our open-architecture approach also provides APS with access to source a robust set of opportunities with external GPs, to seek better outcomes through custom and commingled solutions.

Illustrative graph that shows return forecasting and cashflow simulation over the years

Expected returns and risks are forward-looking projections that should not be relied upon when making an investment decision. Such projections do not reflect actual performance and cannot account for the impact that economic, market, and other factors may have on the implementation of an actual investment program, nor do they consider the impact of trading decisions, liquidity constraints, fees, expenses, taxes and other factors on future returns. No representation is made that the strategy will achieve the expected return or its investment objective. Actual returns may be higher or lower than the expected return.
