BlackRock GF Sustainable Energy D 4

The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets. The Fund invests globally at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of sustainable energy companies. Sustainable energy companies are those which are engaged in alternative energy and energy technologies as described in the prospectus. The companies are rated by the Investment Adviser (IA) based on their ability to manage the risks and opportunities associated with the sustainable energy theme and their environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk and opportunity credentials. The Fund will not invest in companies that are classified in the following sectors (as defined by Global Industry Classification Standard): coal and consumables; oil and gas exploration and production; and integrated oil and gas. The Fund adopts a “best in class” approach to sustainable investing. This means that the Fund selects the best issuers (from an ESG perspective) for each relevant sector of activities (without excluding any sector of activities). More than 90% of the issuers of securities the Fund invests in are ESG rated or have been analysed for ESG purposes. The Fund may gain limited exposure to issuers that that do not meet the sustainable energy and/or the ESG criteria. The IA may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) for investment purposes in order to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, and/or to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via FDIs, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). Any ESG rating or analysis referenced above will apply only to the underlying securities of FDI’s used by the Fund. The Fund is actively managed. The IA has discretion to select the Fund’s investments and is not constrained by any benchmark in this process. The MSCI All Countries World Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund. The weighted average ESG rating of the Fund will be higher than the ESG rating of the MSCI ACWI after eliminating at least 20% of the least well-rated securities from the MSCI ACWI. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of your investment. The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”). The depositary of the Fund is The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch.
