Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, in a manner consistent with the principles of sustainable investing.

The Fund seeks to gain investment exposure to equity and equity-related securities (e.g. shares) of companies in global developed markets, fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The FI securities and MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals and will be investment grade ss) at the time of purchase.

In addition to the investment criteria above, the investment manager (IM) will seek to limit and/or exclude (as applicable) direct investment in issuers which, in the opinion of the IM, have exposure to, or ties with, certain sectors. For further details please refer to the BlackRock website at https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/ literature/publication/blackrock-baseline-screens-in-europe-middleeast-and-africa.pdf. At least 90% of the issuers of securities in the Fund are environmental, social and governance (ESG) rated or analysed for ESG purposes. The weighted average ESG rating of the Fund will be higher than the ESG rating of the MSCI World Index (the Index). The IM intends the Fund to have at least a 50% lower carbon emissions intensity score than the Index.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Credit risk, changes to interest rates and/or issuer defaults will have a significant impact on the performance of fixed income securities. Potential or actual credit rating downgrades may increase the level of risk. The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the Fund’s ESG screening prior to investing in the Fund. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.
