We have initiated coverage of the BlackRock Overseas Government Bond Tracker fund with a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund provides index exposure to the market of investment-grade government bonds issued by the largest developed economies, excluding the UK. The fund is managed by an experienced team; the overall management process is highly automated and reliant on robust portfolio building and risk monitoring systems. Over its relatively short history, the fund displays something of a patchy record. Returns do not compare particularly well either against its Morningstar investment category or against a peer group of funds providing a similar market exposure. The RDR-clean D share class is competitively priced but this is not compelling enough a reason to hold anything other than a neutral view on this fund at this stage.
