The BGF US Flexible Equity Fund is built to address today’s levels of concentration in the U.S. equity market. The fund aims to mitigate concentration risk through a high conviction, flexible, style agnostic portfolio, balancing risk across mega caps and AI names while seeking to capture differentiated alpha across the US market.
The Fund harnesses BlackRock’s US Fundamental Equities platform strongest ideas drawing on both the Growth and Value pillars. This setup provides access to a vast and diverse pipeline ensuring plenty of competition for capital and a high conviction approach.
Our investment philosophy takes an earnings first approach, investing where we have a differentiated view on a company’s 3 to 5-year earnings potential. The fund aims to translate our deep understanding of the fundamentals, and use systematic tools, to enhance alpha potential.
What’s behind the ongoing appeal of US equities?
The US continues to stand out as a compelling strategic market. The economy remains resilient, earnings are broadening and innovation continues to drive long-term growth, supporting the US's role as a key component within global portfolios.
Looking ahead, we expect one of the defining features of the US market's ongoing resilience to be its improving breadth. After a stretch dominated by a few megacaps, we’re now seeing market leadership widen, creating a richer, more diverse opportunity set.
Artificial intelligence is a big part of this story. While its long-term potential across infrastructure and applications remains notable, we’re seeing clearer differentiation between winners and losers, and not just within technology. This dispersion is helping to create a stronger environment for active managers.
The BGF US Flexible Equity Fund is built for this kind of market. The team look to capture structural themes and dispersion among megacaps and AI, while actively seeking differentiated opportunities beyond the most well-known names.
At the core of the strategy is an earnings-first mindset, where we have a differentiated view versus the market. That insight is supported by the depth of BlackRock’s US Fundamental Equities platform, combining fundamental insight with systematic tools to build a portfolio that seeks to deliver.
In a world that continues to change, we believe US remains a pivotal part of long-term equity allocations, where thoughtful active exposure can make a meaningful difference over time.

Listen to Lauren Rowe, Product Strategist, as she explains how broadening market leadership, AI-driven dispersion and an earnings-first approach are shaping a more compelling environment for active management.
While US equities dominate global benchmarks, EMEA portfolios remain relatively underweight. Combined with resilient economic growth and robust earnings, this creates a compelling opportunity to increase exposure and capture money in motion.
Although index concentration remains elevated, market breadth is widening beyond mega‑caps, reinforcing the case for active management. Strategies such as BGF US Flexible Equity offer diversified, earnings‑led exposure with disciplined mega‑cap risk controls, aligning closely with evolving client priorities.
Active investing involves portfolio managers selecting stocks based on fundamental research rather than tracking an index. The aim is to outperform the market or manage risk more effectively across different market conditions.
US equity indices are highly concentrated in a small number of mega‑cap stocks. Active managers can diversify exposure, manage concentration risk and identify opportunities beyond index heavyweights as market leadership broadens.
Yes—particularly during periods of market dispersion, heightened volatility or shifting economic conditions. Active strategies can differentiate between winners and losers, manage downside risk and adapt as fundamentals change.
Unlike index‑tracking strategies, active portfolios are not required to hold stocks according to market‑capitalisation weightings. This allows managers to limit exposure to the largest stocks and build more balanced, diversified portfolios.
BGF US Flexible Equity Fund is an actively managed US equity Fund aiming to maximise return through a combination of capital growth and income.
Flexibility refers to the portfolio managers ability to invest across growth and value styles and adjust positioning as market conditions evolve, rather than being constrained by index weightings.
US equity indices are highly concentrated in a small number of mega‑cap stocks. The fund’s active approach allows for diversified exposure and risk control while seeking opportunities beyond index heavyweights.
Unlike passive strategies, the fund is not required to hold companies in line with market‑capitalisation weights. This allows the portfolio to limit exposure to the largest stocks and build a more balanced allocation across sectors and companies.
The fund typically invests in large‑cap US equities and blends growth and value characteristics, with positioning guided by fundamentals, earnings outlook and market conditions.
The fund can serve as a core US equity allocation, offering active diversification, stock selection and downside awareness within a highly concentrated market.
Yes. The fund is managed in line with BlackRock’s ESG policy and is classified as an Article 8 strategy, incorporating environmental, social and governance considerations into the investment process.
The fund may suit investors seeking actively managed US equity exposure, with a focus on fundamental stock selection, flexibility across market styles and disciplined risk management.
