Investment objective

The aim of the Fund is to provide a return on investor's investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) by tracking closely the performance of the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Developed Green Low Carbon Target Index (the “Benchmark Index”). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest directly into the equities (i.e. shares) of companies in the Benchmark Index and at times invest indirectly via other equity-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to equities) giving exposure to such companies, or in other equities not in the Index.

Our view

Why we like the fund: This is an index-tracking fund that invests in property companies listed globally. Due to growing interest from investors in environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, the fund changed its strategy in 2022 to include sustainability considerations, such as reduced emissions, in its investment methodology. BlackRock is a seasoned investor in passive funds and the fund's costs are low. How to use the fund: For investors seeking a global exposure to real estate, and who have a long-term horizon and are cost-conscious, this fund represents a sensible choice on the higher risk side of a portfolio. Property sits between equities and bonds on the risk spectrum. There is some likelihood of capital loss during periods of distress, when property behaves more like equity. But it shares some characteristics with bonds, delivering reliable rental income and dividend yield over time. The fund could form a part of an income portfolio but should also provide modest capital growth over time.
