Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity instruments and related derivative instruments issued by, or tied economically to, companies located in developed markets. The Fund determines that an investment is tied economically to a developed market if such investment satisfies one or more of the following conditions: 1) the issuer’s primary trading market is in a developed market; 2) the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenue from, or has at least 50% of its assets in developed markets; 3) the investment is included in an index representative of developed markets; and 4) the investment is exposed to the economic risks and returns of developed markets. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers of any market capitalization and in securities denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies.
The Fund intends to be market-neutral, which means that the Fund seeks to produce returns that have a low correlation to the returns of the equity markets in which the Fund invests. The Fund pursues this market-neutral strategy by taking both long and short positions in a variety of developed market equity instruments. The Fund expects to maintain long and short positions primarily through the use of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as futures, and may invest in such instruments without limitation. Although the Fund intends to maintain an overall long position in its portfolio investments, the Fund generally expects to maintain significant short positions in equity securities and equity-related instruments. In certain circumstances, these short positions may approach or reach the size of the overall long position. A long position arises where the Fund holds a security in its portfolio or maintains a position through a derivative instrument that provides economic exposure similar to direct ownership of the security. The Fund will have a short position where it sells a security it does not own by delivery of a borrowed security or has entered into a derivative instrument that provides economic exposure similar to a short sale of the security. The Fund looks to identify overvalued, undervalued or mispriced stocks and other equity instruments through proprietary ranking techniques. The Fund takes long positions primarily in securities that BlackRock has identified as attractive and short positions in such securities that BlackRock has identified as overvalued or poised for underperformance.
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 (or derivatives with similar economic characteristics) of (i) foreign government issuers, (ii) issuers organized or located outside the United States, (iii) issuers whose securities primarily trade in a market located outside the United States, or (iv) issuers doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States, which the Fund considers to be companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from business outside the United States or have at least 50% of their sales or assets outside the United States. 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 utilize derivative instruments as a significant part of its strategy.
When consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund’s investments may include short-term investments, such as cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Government and agency securities, money market funds (including funds that may be affiliated with or sponsored or managed by BlackRock), commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other bank deposits and bankers’ acceptances.
Equity instruments consist of:
Common stock
Depositary receipts
Derivative securities or instruments such as futures, options, forward contracts and swaps (including, but not limited to, total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference), the value of which is based on a common stock or group of common stocks. A contract for difference offers exposure to price changes in an underlying security without ownership of such security, typically by providing investors the ability to trade on margin.
The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its primary investment strategies.
