BlackRock Global Unconstrained Equity Fund
Great businesses dominate over decades not quarters. That is why it might be wise to look beyond the market noise, and zoom in on company fundamentals, when you are investing for the long-term.

Why unconstrained
-
01
Benchmark-agnostic
We avoid being constrained by artificial benchmarks that do not accurately reflect the divergence that’s seen between high and low growth businesses in today’s environment.
-
02
Fundamental focus
Rather than looking at factors, sector weights, country weights or near-term prospects, we focus on a company’s franchise strength and the scale of its reinvestment opportunity, which determine their long-term performance.
-
03
Long-term approach
We aim to give our investments the time to compound their returns while avoiding distraction of short-term opportunism.
Why BlackRock Global Unconstrained Equity Fund?
A fresh approach to outperformance and growth

A leading investment team
The fund is managed by a proven alpha-generating Strategic Equity Team with proven track record. The portfolio managers, Alister Hibbert and Michael Constantis, have a combined investment experience of nearly 50 years.
The team draws on BlackRock’s global network of investment insights across both public and private markets and different asset classes, providing real-time insights from company interactions around the world. We believe this is a crucial advantage when managing unconstrained equity portfolios: it can help uncover new investment opportunities and also identify potential sources of disruption or structural change that might impact existing holdings.
