BlackRock Sterling Short Duration Credit Fund

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment over a 1-3 year period (generated through an increase to the value of the Fund’s assets and/or income received from those assets) of 1.5% per annum (gross of fees) over the return of 3 Month Sterling Overnight Index Average Rate (SONIA), whilst incorporating the ESG commitments described below. The Fund invests at least 50% of its assets in Sterling denominated fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) issued by companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development). The Fund may invest in a full range of available FI securities globally, including those that are non-Sterling denominated, investment grade or non-investment grade (i.e. securities which have a relatively low credit rating or which are unrated) and/or issued by governments and government agencies.
