Fixed Income

BlackRock offers a comprehensive fixed income platform, managing assets across the entire fixed income spectrum – from public to private, fundamental & systematic, active & index – to help deliver better outcomes, convenience, value, and transparency for our clients.

Multi-Asset Strategies and Solutions (MASS)

We help clients create customised portfolios to meet their end goals. Clients access the breadth of BlackRock’s platform, including our index, factor, alpha-seeking, and open-architecture capabilities.

Index investing

For UK institutional investors, the indexing landscape has evolved considerably over the past decades. Extracting every unit of return for a given amount of risk is crucial, and barbelling of asset allocation across index and more complex alphas such as private markets is a trend that continues to deepen.

Long-Term Asset Fund (LTAF)

LTAFs are designed with a diversified approach to alternatives in mind, providing schemes members with access to alternatives throughout the liquidity spectrum.
