BlackRock Balanced Growth Portfolio Fund

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) with the opportunity for additional income generation (i.e. income received on the Fund’s assets) where market conditions allow. The Fund may invest globally in equity securities (e.g. shares), fixed income securities (such as bonds), money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), funds and cash (in any currency). The fixed income securities and money-market instruments may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development).
