FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS

There’s do, and there’s do more

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. Marketing material

Figuring out how to invest can be overwhelming and knowing where to start can be half the battle. But any journey becomes a lot clearer when you have a map.

BlackRock’s MyMap range of portfolios offers a set of simple, diversified, cost-effective and risk-managed funds that help take the stress out of investing. 

Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk. For illustrative purposes only.

These funds make investments into ETFs that track stock and bond markets, as well as into ETCs, that invest in portfolio diversifiers, such as physical gold. This diversification can protect an investor's returns over time, even when markets are volatile.

ETFs=Exchange Traded Funds. ETC=Exchange Traded Commodities

Interested in investing sustainably? Our ESG-based fund takes into account environmental, social, and governance considerations when selecting its investments.

For the whole MyMap range, our investment process is simple: we aim to capture the investment upside, while managing the risks and costs associated with investing. That means we are focused on three fundamentals: risk, return and cost.

In an increasingly complex world, the solution we can offer – through our MyMap funds - is simplicity. A simple map charting toward a better future.

Risk Warnings

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.

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.

FUNDS AT BLACKROCK

Funds that match up with investing goals and preferences

Each investor has a different story, and we are steadfast partners to our clients in the UK because we listen to every one of them. Our full range of funds is one way we’re helping more investors build solid financial futures.

Equities
Buying shares for the long term

When you invest in an equity, you buy a share in a company and become a shareholder. Equities are typically best for long-term investing – for those who are able to ride out the highs and lows of the market in search of higher rewards. 

Fixed income
Seeking stable, lower risk returns

Fixed income securities, or bonds, are issued by companies and governments as a way of raising money. They’re basically an ‘I.O.U’ – designed to provide a regular stream of income (which is normally a fixed amount) over a specified period of time.

Alternatives
Driven by diverse sources of returns

While traditional assets like stocks and bonds are traded on the public markets, alternative investment strategies such as real estate, infrastructure, and private credit are less sensitive to the movements of global markets. 

Cash
Bank accounts aren’t the only option

If you're looking for better rates of return on deposits than you’d get in an ordinary bank account, cash funds may be a great option. They often invest in very short-term bonds known as ‘money market instruments’, which are essentially banks lending money to each other. 

Indexing
Investing that works for everyone

Fifty years of indexing have proven investing doesn’t need to be expensive, or complex. There’s quite literally an index fund for every market exposure and investment strategy you could possibly need, which means more opportunities for more investors. 

Multi-asset
Diversifying your portfolio

A multi-asset strategy combines different types of assets – stocks, bonds, real estate, or cash for example – to create a more nimble and broadly diversified portfolio. Fund managers will balance asset classes to achieve particular investment objectives.
