Cash and liquidity solutions
BlackRock considers cash management a unique investment discipline requiring a distinct skill set to effectively hedge against risk and deliver on a client's individual liquidity needs. While our investment strategy is conservative by nature, we strive to deliver competitive, consistent returns over time.
Money market strategies
Our liquidity strategies are specifically designed to meet the cash management needs of institutional investors. They satisfy the most conservative investment policies by consistently focusing on high-quality investments and providing same-day liquidity with competitive yields.
Government
Government money market strategies invest at least 99.5% in cash, securities or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by cash or government securities.
Prime
Prime money market mutual strategies invest in securities issued by corporations, banks and other non-government entities.
Municipal
Municipal money market strategies may potentially offer tax benefits to an investor, since the earnings are typically exempt from federal and sometimes state income taxes.
Short duration
BlackRock’s Short duration strategies employ a fundamental, diversified and relative-value approach focused solely on the front-end of the yield curve.
Exchange traded funds (ETFs)
ETFs are an increasingly integral part of the investment process for institutional investors. They are changing the way institutions construct portfolios, fine-tune risk and manage operational tasks.
0-3 month Treasury bond strategy
Index-based exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities less than or equal to three months.
Treasury floating-rate bond strategy
Index-based exposure to U.S. floating rate Treasury bonds, whose interest payments adjust to reflect changes in interest rates.
Short treasury bond strategy
Index-based exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds that mature in less than 1 year.
Ultra short-term bond strategy
Actively managed strategy that seeks to provide income by investing in a broad range of short-term IG fixed and floating-rate debt securities and money market instruments.
Short maturity bond strategy
Actively managed strategy that seeks to maximize current income through diversified exposure to short-term bonds.
Separately managed accounts
Unlike commingled mutual funds, separately managed accounts are segregated mandates comprised solely of one client’s assets. The investment strategy of the account is driven by the specific objectives and risk tolerance of the account owner, often dictated by their investment guidelines.
