BSF Managed Index Portfolios Defensive

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income commensurate with a defensive level of risk. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by obtaining indirect exposure to equity securities (e.g. shares), equity related (ER) securities, fixed income securities (such as bonds) and FI-related securities, alternative assets (such as property and commodities), cash and deposits. FI securities include money market instruments. ER securities and FI-related securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). Exposure to these asset classes will be achieved through the Fund’s investments in other funds, including exchange traded funds and other index funds managed by the BlackRock Group and, when determined appropriate, the Fund may invest directly in FI-related securities, MMIs, cash and deposits.
