2023 investment strategies


INVESTMENT STRATEGIES FOR 2023

The investing landscape as we know it has changed. After years of an
accommodative Fed, we’ve now entered an era of tight monetary policy, sustained
inflation and higher rates.






Now more than ever, 2023 is the time to reset and reassess your whole portfolio.

YIELDS ARE BACK

Rising rates have resulted in the highest yields the U.S. bond market has seen
in over a decade. After years of investing in fixed income for risk mitigation,
advisors are now able to enjoy higher levels of income on their bonds again.
This means that it may not be necessary to take as much risk in equities as
you've had to in the past to reach your clients' return targets.

 

Higher yields can mean two key things for your bonds:

 

1. You may now have greater potential to generate meaningful total return to
your clients’ portfolios from your fixed income sleeve.


2. Higher yields can provide more downside resiliency for bonds, potentially
lowering your probability of loss.

MOVE BACK INTO BONDS

Advisors may want to consider bringing their bond allocation back to benchmark
level or to an overweight. With higher yields today, it may not be as necessary
to take large equity bets to meet your clients' portfolio goals. Start

CONSIDER REDUCING RISK IN EQUITIES

Getting paid in fixed income today means it’s not as necessary to be "risk on"
in growth equities to reach your clients' return targets. Consider allocating
towards value-oriented, dividend-paying exposures or minimum volatility
strategies that can help mitigate any unneeded equity risk.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges
and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the
Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be
obtained visiting the iShares ETF and BlackRock Mutual Fund prospectus pages.
Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Transactions in shares of ETFs may result in brokerage commissions and will
generate tax consequences. All regulated investment companies are obliged to
distribute portfolio gains to shareholders.

Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when
interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit
risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make
principal and interest payments.

International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign
currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of
substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments.
These risks often are heightened for investments in emerging/ developing markets
or in concentrations of single countries.

The BlackRock model portfolios are provided for illustrative and educational
purposes only. The BlackRock model portfolios do not constitute research, are
not personalized investment advice or an investment recommendation from
BlackRock to any client of a third party financial professional, and are
intended for use only by a third party financial professional, with other
information, as a resource to help build a portfolio or as an input in the
development of investment advice for its own clients. The BlackRock model
portfolios themselves are not funds.

BlackRock intends to allocate all or a significant percentage of the BlackRock
model portfolios to funds for which it and/or its affiliates serve as investment
manager and/or are compensated for services provided to the funds ("BlackRock
Affiliated Funds"). Clients will indirectly bear fund expenses relating to
assets allocated to funds, including BlackRock Affiliated Funds. BlackRock has
an incentive to (a) select BlackRock Affiliated Funds and (b) select BlackRock
Affiliated Funds with higher fees over BlackRock Affiliated Funds with lower
fees. 

No proprietary technology or asset allocation model is a guarantee against loss
of principal. There can be no assurance that an investment strategy based on the
tools will be successful.

IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by tools regarding the
likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not
reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results.
Results may vary with each use and over time.

This material has been prepared for informational purposes only, and is not
intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, accounting, legal or tax
advice. Investors should consult their tax or legal advisor regarding such
matters.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a
recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in
particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or
informational purposes and is subject to change.

The BlackRock and iShares Funds are distributed by BlackRock Investments, LLC
(together with its affiliates, "BlackRock").

The iShares Minimum Volatility Funds may experience more than minimum volatility
as there is no guarantee that the underlying index's strategy of seeking to
lower volatility will be successful.
