Each offers a differentiated investment approach and source of return that can easily partner with other portfolio components to target clients’ unique objectives.

Spotlight strategies

U.S. Large Cap Core

A research-driven, high-conviction strategy that seeks alpha via U.S. large cap equity exposure that is differentiated from broad-market indices.

Global Unconstrained

A concentrated, high-conviction strategy that seeks long-term alpha across market cycles via an active, fundamental approach targeting market-leading companies worldwide.

U.S. Large Cap Value

Systematic Equities

BlackRock’s systematic approach to equity investing combines big data, scientific analysis, and human expertise to seek differentiated portfolio outcomes.

Spotlight strategies

Long-only

Our data-driven insights and technology offer cost-efficient, risk-managed equity solutions to help clients generate returns across an extensive opportunity set.

Partial long/short

Designed to deliver differentiated alpha by selecting stocks through optimized tilts, we seek to exploit market inefficiencies and minimize exposure to uncompensated risks.

Absolute return

Absolute return strategies use distinct sources of return to seek positive absolute returns in equity markets, irrespective of financial conditions.

Index investing

For over 50 years, we have developed a wide array of index strategies across sectors, qualities and geographic regions to address client needs. We collaborate with healthcare clients to deliver customized beta exposures and invest in technology, such as Aladdin®, to continually enhance and improve our index replication process.

Employing index investing strategies in institutional portfolios can help achieve a variety of goals including reducing portfolio volatility, creating liquidity sleeves and reducing plan investment costs. Index exposure is available to institutional investors through separate accounts, pooled funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Managing liquidity

Whether used as a permanent liquidity sleeve or a temporary way to access markets, ETFs can bring liquidity and low trading costs.

Enhancing cash

Institutions can incrementally increase yield by stepping out of cash across a spectrum of short duration offerings and respective risk levels.

Adjusting tactical and strategic allocations

Immediate, low-cost strategic exposure to sectors where active management may be insufficient or unnecessary.
