Fund Description
The Fund mainly invests in bonds and other fixed-income securities that periodically pay interest or dividends. Fixed-income securities are securities that represent an obligation by the issuer to pay a specified rate of interest or dividend at specified times. These securities may be denominated and pay interest in U.S. dollars or other currencies and may be issued by U.S. or foreign governments or corporations.
The Fund will spread its investments among different types of fixed-income securities and different countries based upon Fund management’s analysis of the yield, maturity and currency considerations affecting these securities. The Fund may invest in U.S. and foreign government and corporate fixed-income securities, including junk bonds and unrated securities. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in bonds and related derivative instruments with similar economic characteristics. For the purposes of this strategy, “bonds” include the following: obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or a foreign government or their agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions; mortgage-backed securities, including agency mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities; debt obligations of U.S. or foreign issuers; municipal securities; and asset-backed securities. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in securities classified as junk bonds.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund anticipates it will allocate a substantial amount (approximately 40% or more — unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by BlackRock, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30%) of its total assets in securities (i) of foreign government issuers, (ii) of issuers organized or located outside the U.S., (iii) of issuers which primarily trade in a market located outside the U.S., or (iv) of issuers doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S., which the Fund considers to be companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from business outside the U.S. or have at least 50% of their sales or assets outside the U.S. The Fund will allocate its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no less than three different countries). For temporary defensive purposes the Fund may deviate very substantially from the allocation described above.
The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity or duration. The average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio securities will vary based upon BlackRock’s view of economic and market conditions. However, the Fund does not expect the average maturity of its portfolio to exceed fifteen years.
Fund management presently expects that the Fund will invest primarily in securities denominated in the currencies represented in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, but the Fund also can invest in securities denominated in other currencies. Issuers of securities may not always be located in the country in whose currency the securities are denominated. The Fund’s investments ordinarily will be denominated in at least three currencies. No set portion of the Fund’s investments is required to be denominated in any particular currency. Substantially all of the Fund’s investments may be denominated in a single currency, including U.S. dollars.
The Fund may invest in several different kinds of securities issued by the U.S. Government. These include U.S. Treasury obligations (bills, notes and bonds) that have different interest rates and maturities and are issued at different times. These securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The Fund also may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or other U.S. Government organizations. These include but are not limited to government guaranteed mortgage-related or asset-backed securities. Some of these securities may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, some may be supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, and some are backed only by the credit of the issuer itself.
The obligations of foreign governments and their related organizations have various kinds of government support. These obligations may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of a foreign government. The Fund may invest in securities issued by international organizations designated or supported by governments or government agencies to promote economic reconstruction or development.
The debt securities in which the Fund invests may include credit-linked notes, credit-linked trust certificates, structured notes or other instruments evidencing interests in special purpose vehicles, trusts or other entities that hold or represent interests in debt securities. In addition, the Fund may invest in corporate loans.
The Fund may use a variety of portfolio strategies to hedge its portfolio against interest rate and currency risk, or to seek to enhance its return. These strategies include the use of derivatives, such as options on portfolio positions or currencies, financial and currency futures and options on these futures, forward foreign currency transactions, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from another security or an index such as the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund may invest in indexed and inverse securities.
The Fund may seek to provide exposure to the investment returns of real assets that trade in the commodity markets through investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments and investment vehicles such as exchange traded funds that exclusively invest in commodities and are designed to provide this exposure without direct investment in physical commodities. The Fund may also gain exposure to commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund formed in the Cayman Islands, which invests primarily in commodity-related instruments.
