At BlackRock, we offer a diverse range of funds and share classes to help you meet your investment goals and income needs. Below is a summary of selected monthly distributing share classes available in the BlackRock Global Funds (BGF) range.
The A6 share class is a Distributing (S) Share which aims to pay investors a stable monthly dividend per share by smoothing income generated by a fund over time.
The A8 share class is a Distributing (R) Share which aims to pay investors a stable monthly dividend per share by smoothing income generated by a fund over time plus the net interest rate differential (IRD) arising from share class currency hedging.
IRD refers to the difference in interest rates between two currencies – in this case, the base currency of the fund and the share class’s currency. It will fluctuate due to interest rate movements, and can be positive, nil or negative.
The A10 share class is a Distribution (T) Share which aims to pay investors a stable monthly distribution per share based on the long-term expected gross total return of the fund. Over the short-term it may include income, realised gains/losses, unrealised gains/losses, and capital in order to provide a dividend distribution level that is sustainable over the very long-term.
