BlackRock US Mid-Cap Value 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) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of medium sized companies which are incorporated or listed on stock exchanges, in the United States. Medium companies are those whose market capitalisation is similar to that of the companies in the Russell Midcap Value Index (“the Index”) at the time of investment.
