Securities Lending
Securities lending is an additional, relatively low-risk way for investors to unlock the full potential of their portfolio. In three decades of lending securities on behalf of clients, BlackRock has focused on delivering competitive returns while balancing return, risk and cost.

Capital at Risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. With securities lending there is a risk of loss should the borrower default before the securities are returned, and due to market movements, the value of collateral held has fallen and/or the value of the securities on loan has risen.
Why BlackRock for securities lending?
We believe in managing our securities lending operations on our proprietary platforms, rather than outsource this important function to a third-party. To that end, we have built a proprietary securities lending infrastructure so that lending activity is executed in our clients’ best interests and with prudent risk management.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.
Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
Securities Lending
With Securities Lending there is a risk of loss should the borrower default before the securities are returned, and due to market movements, the value of collateral held has fallen and/or the value of the securities on loan has risen. While proprietary technology platforms may help manage risk, risk cannot be eliminated. There is no guarantee that a positive investment outcome will be achieved.
