Global Credit

What is Credit?

Credit is lending to businesses or governments, at rates based on the riskiness of the borrower. Types span public and private markets and include corporate bonds, bank loans and structured products, offering a wide set of investment opportunities.

Why BlackRock for credit?

With fixed income yields historically low and the impact of the pandemic significantly reshaping the investment landscape, credit may be called upon to play a larger role in fulfilling investors’ income and capital growth needs. In periods of greater economic uncertainty where risks remain high and markets volatile, achieving superior risk-adjusted results through the credit cycle requires a different kind of partner. BlackRock’s global credit platform seeks to deliver outperformance with true partnership.
