BlackRock has one of the most comprehensive and diverse investment platforms in the industry, providing investors with choice to meet their individual needs. Investors are continuing to turn to BlackRock to unlock the full potential of their portfolios, as reflected by more than $2.2 trillion of net inflows in the past five years globally.¹

In the U.S., BlackRock offers over 700 mutual funds and ETFs for investors to access different market exposures.² As we evolve our platform and launch new strategies, we also constantly assess how our funds are meeting investors’ investment objectives and the evolving needs of our clients. Today, BlackRock is announcing the upcoming liquidation of 14 U.S.-domiciled mutual funds and ETFs.

BlackRock’s sustainable and transition investing platform is entrusted to manage more than $1 trillion in client assets, increasing approximately 850% over the last five years, and includes more than 500 products globally. ⁴

As described in the prospectuses, investors will incur management fees until the liquidations are complete. In addition to the management fee, investors who opt to sell an ETF will bear the usual transaction and commissions costs in the secondary market. In both cases, investors may see a capital gain or loss on their investment.
