Fund OverviewThe BlackRock Multi Opportunity Fund (the Fund) is a multi-strategy fund that seeks to benefit from BlackRock's ability to systematically exploit inefficiencies across a broad range of global investment markets. The Fund harnesses BlackRock's best research ideas that are based on sound economic principles which are implemented via a systematic investment process and combined into one investment vehicle. The Fund gains exposure to a diversified group of absolute return strategies which currently include:
- Australian and International Equity Long/Short
- Global Fixed Income Long/Short
- Global Macro
- Commodity Alpha
- Alpha Transport

The Fund's goal is to provide investors with a source of consistent, risk-controlled, absolute returns that are over time, expected to have low correlations with the returns of major asset classes. The Fund aims to achieve a return of 8% p.a. before fees, above the RBA Cash Rate Target over rolling 3 year periods. In order to achieve its expected return objective, the Fund will target a total expected risk of between 4-6% p.a. over the same rolling 3 year period.
