ONCE THOUGHT SAFE. NOW RISKY. RETHINK YOUR BONDS.
The traditional core bond funds we all once considered safe investments may not be so safe anymore.
In fact, if interest rates rise or inflation picks up, these once low-risk bonds could do something they've rarely done in 30 years - lose your clients' money.
It's time to talk to your clients about a better approach to bond investing.
The BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (BASIX) is an adaptable "all-weather" strategy that looks across the entire bond market for income and growth. Rather than be narrowly focused, the Fund can invest freely in search of the best investment opportunities, adapting as the markets change.
Some highlights include*:
20% cumulative return since March 2010
89% of the time the Fund outperformed traditional core bonds when rates rose
100% of the time the Fund out-yielded a traditional bond investment

All numbers listed above are calculated using Investor A share class and are based on the timeframe 3/31/10 the first month-end after the investment strategy changed (investment strategy change effective date 03/05/10).
