Multi-asset funds are able to invest across the investment landscape and may include equities, bonds and cash. This provides a greater degree of diversification than investing in a single asset class. The benefits of diversification are:
- Investments are spread over a broad range of strategies, styles, sectors and regions
- Can help cushion the occasional shocks that come with investing in a single asset class
- Enhances the potential for investing in the best-performing asset class and reduce the impact of the worst-performing asset class
Many investors look to multi-asset funds to provide a lower-risk investment than a pure equity fund, but with greater prospects for growth than a pure bond fund.
BlackRock has built a family of multi-asset funds to give investors the breadth they need to meet their specific needs. We also give investors the choice between actively managed multi-asset funds and our range of Consensus Funds, five independently risk-rated, core asset allocation portfolios invested in BlackRock's index suite.
