1 BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)
2 What are BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios? BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios (BMIPs) are all-in-one, core portfolios that consist 100% of low cost UCITS ishares ETFs and BlackRock Index Funds in a mutual fund structure. Made up of passive building blocks, BMIPs are actively managed and draw on the expertise of BlackRock s robust risk management platform, Aladdin. 2 BLACKROCK MANAGED INDEX PORTFOLIOS

4 Dynamic suite of multi-asset portfolios BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios are a range of diversified multi-asset funds based on three risk categories: defensive, moderate and growth. With increasing risks in changing markets and the potential for inflation to erode the real value of all investments, building robust multi-asset funds requires more than traditional asset allocation. With this in mind, BlackRock has created a dynamic suite of multi-asset portfolios leveraging its quantitative approach to portfolio construction and deep expertise in managing multi-asset strategies. The range aims to maximise returns and reduce risk within certain risk categories in line with regulatory defined SRRI* risk profiles. All three funds are actively managed and benefit from the full capabilities of BlackRock s portfolio construction and risk management expertise, global investment strategy and research insights. * SRRI (a key feature of the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) stands for Synthetic Risk Reward Indicator, which is a measure of the overall risk and reward profile of a fund. Funds are categorised on a scale from 1 to 7, with 1 being lowest risk and 7 being highest risk. Typically, the SRRI is derived from the volatility of past returns over a 5-year period. The SRRI for each BlackRock Management Index Portfolio may vary however, each fund aims to maintain its volatility within the targeted risk band. 4 BLACKROCK MANAGED INDEX PORTFOLIOS
5 To provide full transparency and increased diversification as part of a liquid, cost-effective solution, BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios are built using ETFs and index funds as low cost building blocks allowing investors to access BlackRock s best thinking and keep more of what they earn. BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios offer investors the opportunity to gain access to BlackRock s best thinking in a diversified and transparent form. The funds investment proposition centers around three key pillars Robust risk management BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios Low cost building blocks Active asset allocation BLACKROCK STRATEGIC FUNDS 5

8 What is the investment process? There are three key parts to the BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios investment process Enhanced strategic asset allocation When building the BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios, the investment team moves beyond traditional static asset allocation, which is based solely on average historical asset class returns. Instead, the team s asset allocation between equities, fixed income and non-traditional exposures aims to be market aware and incorporates forward-looking estimates to make considered assumptions on expected risk and return, in addition to assessing historical asset class returns. This approach leverages BlackRock s proprietary research into understanding how expected asset class returns are based on key risk premia (greater expected return compared to cash over time). Tactical positioning While asset allocation drives the mix between asset classes in the funds over time, the investment team makes use of tactical positioning within asset classes over the short term as well. This tactical positioning is based on BlackRock s global multi-asset research and its proprietary systematic approach in order to identify opportunities across equity regions, countries and sectors, as well as fixed income rates, credit and emerging markets. Thematic views The funds leverage the firm s global investment strategy and thematic research including insights from the BlackRock Investment Institute (BII). 8 BLACKROCK MANAGED INDEX PORTFOLIOS
9 Who manages the BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios? Drawing on the wide range of investment expertise across BlackRock, the BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios are managed within BlackRock s Multi- Asset Strategies Group and benefit from combining the insights of the global investment strategy team with the disciplined, objective investment process of the dedicated investment team. Investment leadership Christopher Michael Gates, Anthony Chan, Stephen Walker Downing, PhD CFA CAIA BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios offer investors the best of BlackRock by leveraging the firm s world-class investment strategy, portfolio construction and trading expertise. BLACKROCK STRATEGIC FUNDS 9
10 Why use BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios? Active asset allocation BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios (BMIPs) are actively managed funds of ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) and index funds that benefit from a wide range of investment expertise across BlackRock. Incorporating both longer term strategic views and more timely tactical opportunities, the funds keep transaction costs low by relying on a systematic process that minimises turnover while staying nimble enough to adapt to market conditions. Broad diversification BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios provide investors with a global multi- asset solution. Through their enhanced strategic asset allocation, BMIPs are diversified across major asset classes and over 7,500 underlying securities 4. The level of diversification across asset classes is intended to strike a balance between capturing the potential risk and the return benefits for each of the three risk profiles. BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios draw on the expertise of BlackRock s world class risk management system, Aladdin, for the provision of risk management expertise. This combines proprietary risk management technology, including extensive analytics, with a deep understanding of financial markets and investment processes, in order to examine and understand the risks involved when making investment choices. 4 Source: BlackRock as of June BLACKROCK MANAGED INDEX PORTFOLIOS
11 $ Low cost building blocks BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios offer investors access to a diversified and cost-effective multi-asset solution, utilising both ETFs and index funds to implement their asset allocation. ETFs are investment funds traded on a stock exchange which can offer efficient and transparent access to markets and, as passive funds, they seek to return the same performance as a specified index, minus fees. ETFs generally have lower fees than active funds. Index funds are mutual funds designed to match the underlying components of a benchmark index. As passive mutual funds, they seek to replicate the performance of their specified benchmark, minus fees. Similar to ETFs, index funds generally have lower fees than active funds. Long-term investments BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios reflect an investment strategy that may be considered by investors with a long-term investment horizon (at least five years, but typically greater than 10 years). As a result, the funds allocations might remain fixed over short periods of time. However, the allocations are not static and get reviewed on an ongoing basis which allows recent market conditions to be considered when rebalancing the allocations. BLACKROCK STRATEGIC FUNDS 11
