Fund OverviewThe Fund is focused on absolute returns and aims to provide investors with the best available investments worldwide across asset class, region and market capitalisation.

The G.A. Team believes that competitive returns with low to moderate levels of risk can be achieved through a flexible, research intensive, value-oriented approach that seeks the best investment opportunities worldwide, broadly diversified across asset classes, countries and securities.

The Fund's current investment strategy is to invest in global equities, fixed income and cash. The Fund aims to maximise total investment returns while managing risk and is generally diversified across markets, industries and issuers.

In selecting equity investments, the Fund mainly seeks to invest in securities which are believed to be undervalued. The Fund may buy fixed income securities of varying maturities. While the Fund can, and does, look for investments in all the markets of the world, it will typically invest a majority of its assets in the securities of companies and governments located in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

In making investment decisions,the G.A. Team aims to identify the long-term trends and changes that could benefit particular markets and/or industries relative to other markets and industries.
Manager CommentsThe BlackRock Global Allocation Team continues to believe that equity valuations remain attractive relative to fixed income valuations, though the Manager has become incrementally more cautious over the short-term given increasing stock prices, weaker revenue expectations, and uncertainty in Europe.

The Fund also remains overweight Japanese equities based on attractive valuations, anticipation of further accommodative monetary policy, and potential for enduring negative sentiment and underinvestment in Japan to reverse. Importantly, much of the Japanese yen (JPY) exposure in the Fund has been hedged given the possibility of more aggressive monetary easing by the Bank of Japan.
