Market returns are not always enough to meet lifetime financial goals, which is why we are tireless in our pursuit of something more. The mission of our equities team is to seek to deliver consistent, risk-mitigated, market-beating results for our clients over the long term. At BlackRock, we offer a diverse selection of equity products across our mutual funds range, including fundamental, systematic, and thematic equities.
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.
Key takeaways
01.
Fundamental equities
Our fundamental equity investors build portfolios company by company, digging deep to assess the merits of individual businesses and seek to gain a thorough understanding of their long-term potential. The goal: outperforming the market by building a diversified portfolio of fundamentally sound companies that are priced right for their prospects.
02.
Systematic equities
Our systematic equity strategies are designed with the aim to deliver consistent and differentiated alpha to our clients. Our passion is combining human insight, data and technology to generate compelling benchmark relative or absolute investment returns.
03.
Thematic equities
Our thematic strategies are fundamental in nature and focus on long-term trends instead of specific companies or sectors, enabling investors to identify future drivers of return. Five mega forces shape our thematic philosophy: demographic divergence, digital disruption and AI, a fragmenting world, future of finance and low-carbon transition.
Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk.

What are the risks associated with equities?
While there are many potential benefits to investing in equities, like all investments, there are risks as well. Market risks impact equity investments directly. Stocks will often rise or fall in value based on market forces. As a result, investors can lose some or all of their investment due to market risk.
Other types of risk that can affect equity investments include:
- Credit risk: a company could be unable to pay its debt.
- Foreign currency risk: a company’s value could change because of shifts in the value of different international currencies.
- Liquidity risk: a company could be unable to meet its short-term debt obligations.
- Political risk: a company’s returns could suffer because of a country’s political changes or instability.
- Economic concentration risk: a company’s value could drop because it’s too concentrated in a single entity, sector or country (putting all its eggs in one basket). If the value of that factor drops, the company will get hurt disproportionately.
- Inflation risk: a company’s value could drop because it’s hurt by rising inflation, thus diluting its worth.
