Investment Objective: BlackRock Systematic Global Long/Short Equity Fund A Acc |
The aim of the Fund is to provide a positive absolute return on investors investment (i.e. an increase in the overall value of the Fund) over a 12-month period beginning at the point of investment, regardless of market conditions. In seeking to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will use quantitative (i.e. mathematical or statistical) models in order to achieve a systematic (i.e. rule based) approach to selection of equities (i.e. shares). This means that equities will be selected based on their expected contribution to portfolio returns when risk and transaction cost forecasts are taken into account. The Fund will invest at least 70% of its total assets in equities, and equity-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to equities), of companies located in, or exercising a significant part of their economic activity in, economically developed countries (i.e. countries with advanced financial and economic structures). |
