BlackRock Absolute Return Bond Fund Class D Acc

The aim of the Fund is to provide a positive absolute return on your investment (i.e. an increase in the overall value of the Fund) (gross of fees) over any 12 month period regardless of market conditions. In order to seek to achieve its investment objective the Fund will use a variety of investment strategies and instruments to gain exposure to fixed income securities (i.e. bonds) and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities), issued by companies, governments, government agencies and supranationals worldwide. The Fund will seek to take long investment positions (i.e. buy an equity, bond or currency with the expectation that the asset will rise in value) and use derivatives (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to take long and short investment positions (i.e. buy or sell a derivative with the expectation that the underlying asset will rise or fall in value).
