BlackRock Global Allocation Fund seeks to maximise total return. The Fund invests globally in equity, debt and short term securities, of both corporate and governmental issuers, with no prescribed limits. In normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 70% of its total assets in the securities of corporate and governmental issuers. The Fund generally will seek to invest in securities that are, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, undervalued. The Fund may also invest in the equity securities of small and emerging growth companies. The Fund may also invest a portion of its debt portfolio in high yield fixed income transferable securities. Currency exposure is flexibly managed.

The Fund invests in debt securities that are subject to both actual and perceived measures of creditworthiness. The Fund may be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates and by credit quality considerations. The Fund invests in smaller company shares which can be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. The Fund may be subject to a higher risk of default when it invests in distressed securities. The Fund invests in certain emerging markets that may be subject to additional risks arising from political, economic and market factors.

The value of a Fund can be volatile and could go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that the certain amount of your investment could be lost.

Why this Fund?

1. Protection in Volatile Times While a high dividend yield strategy may not outperform in bull markets, it can provide a defensive exposure during bear markets and a relatively stable income stream*.
2. Inflation Protection Bonds and cash also provide an income steam but unlike these, high dividend yield stocks enjoy some protection from inflation.
3. Tools to Enhance Dividend Yields The fund manager may employ an array of investment tools, including Convertible Bonds and Covered Calls to further enhance dividend levels when appropriate.
