S&P Envy: Diversification can feel disappointing

• The U.S. stock market has delivered positive performance in 15 of the last 17 calendar years

• Clients fail to understand why a diversified portfolio makes sense when it loses money in a bear

market and trails in a bull market

• In an extended bull market, this can leave clients feeling envious towards the stock market

Average annual returns for the BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (Institutional) as of December 31, 2019 are: 1 year, 17.54; 5 years, 5.01%; 10 years, 5.79%. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

• Benchmark represents a neutral asset mix. Used as a “scorecard” to communicate overweight and underweight positions.

• Portfolio is unconstrained relative to benchmark. Asset allocation is driven largely by relative valuations and absolute risk across asset classes, currencies, sectors, and securities.

• Real-time risk management. Integral to investment process and in structuring the portfolio, we are mindful of protecting downside risks; monitored daily through Global Allocation risk dashboard and BlackRock Risk & Quantitative Group (RQA) oversight.

Annualized standard deviation since inception

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. As of December 31, 2019. Source: BlackRock. Standard deviation is calculated based on monthly returns for the BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (Institutional) from first full month post inception (February 28, 1989). Institutional shares are not available to all investors. Performance, fees and rankings for other share classes could be higher. The indexes are unmanaged and do not take transaction charges into consideration. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Volatility is based on standard deviation, which is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the deviation. Standard deviation is also known as historical volatility and is used by investors as a gauge for the amount of expected volatility.

The fund is actively managed and its characteristics will vary. Prior to 2015, the fund’s exposure was based on market value and adjusted for the economic value of futures and swaps. From 2015, the fund’s exposure is based on the economic value of securities and is adjusted for futures, options, swaps (except with respect to fixed income securities) and convertible bonds. Prior to 2015, commodity-related exposure, which is comprised of precious metals ETFs, was included in equities.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown. Refer to blackrock.com for current month-end performance. Investment returnsreflect total fund operating expenses, net of all fees, waivers and/or expense reimbursement. Total annual fund operating expenses as stated in the fund’s most recent prospectus are 0.88% for Institutional shares. Net annual fund operating expenses (including investment related expenses) are 0.81% for Institutional shares. The difference between the fund’s total and net expense ratios is due to fees that BlackRock has agreed to contractually waive through February 29, 2020, and any voluntary fee waivers. Such waivers may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by the fund’s board of directors or by a shareholder vote. Any voluntary fee waivers may be terminated at any time without notice.

The size of the initial withdrawal is equal to the withdrawal rate times the initial investment, and each year that amount is increased by 3% to account for inflation. Does not consider taxes. Results are hypothetical and will vary based on selection of other time frames and over time as assumptions change. These figures are for illustrative purposes only.

Principal risks: The fund is actively managed and its characteristics will vary. Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of yourinvestment can go down depending on market conditions. International investing involves special risks including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility. These risks may be heightened for investments in emerging markets. Fixed income risks include interest rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment grade debt securities (high yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Asset allocation strategies do not assure profit and do not protect against loss. Short selling entails special risks. If the fund makes short sales in securities that increase in value, the fund will lose value. Any loss on short positions may or may not be offset by investing short sale proceeds in other investments. The fund may use derivatives to hedge its investments or to seek to enhance returns. Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and increase volatility.

You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the fund and are available, along with information on other BlackRock funds, by calling 800-882-0052 or at blackrock.com. The prospectus and, if available, the summary prospectus should beread carefully before investing.
