BlackRock Sustainable Global Bond Income Fund

Fixed Income investing across uncertain markets

Don’t miss the boat with bonds

Key considerations

  • 01

    Yields at decade high

    Yields are at decade highs across the fixed income spectrum. Higher rates may set the stage for higher expected returns and a “yield cushion” that can potentially hedge against multiple scenarios.

  • 02

    Fed pause

    A Fed pause has historically been a good entry point for bonds. Bonds tend to outperform cash when the Fed is at pause or cutting rates.

  • 03

    Flexible investing

    Market volatility is calling for a more flexible approach to investing, allowing for the dynamic capture of investment opportunities as they arise while also seeking to limit potential drawdowns.

Why BlackRock Sustainable Global Bond Income Fund?

BlackRock Sustainable Global Bond Income Fund aims to maximize income per unit of risk by investing across the whole Fixed Income universe without geographical and sectoral bias.

Flexible and diversified portfolio that adapts to changing market regimes

The Fund does not have benchmark which means it can dynamically allocate assets across a broad spectrum of fixed income sectors with no geographical and sectoral bias. The Fund also manages duration flexibly, and currently focuses on front-end and high-quality Fixed Income  assets given relatively competitive yields and lower volatility levels.

The Fund has a wide opportunity set and no systematic or structural bias towards any particular asset class. Through active management and security selection, the Fund seeks to optimize income per unit of risk.
