BLACKROCK GLOBAL INCOME D

The aim of the Fund is to provide an income return on investor's investment (gross of fees) that is above average when compared to the income produced by global equity markets (as represented by the MSCI All Countries World Index) (i.e. a level of income which exceeds that produced by the constituents of the index), without sacrificing capital growth (i.e. the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) and equity-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to equities) of companies domiciled in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, developed markets (i.e. markets with advanced financial and economic structures).
