Alternative Investments

Strategic diversification designed exclusively for sophisticated investors

The traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds are probably well represented in your portfolio. But for sophisticated high net worth investors, an allocation to alternative investments may be desirable in order to achieve greater risk reduction benefits from more extensive portfolio diversification. BlackRock provides alternative investments designed to specifically address the complex diversification needs of large portfolios, while offering the potential for returns not highly correlated with broad-based market indices.

The breadth and depth of our alternative investment capabilities are extensive. So whether your interest centers on a hedge fund, private equity, managed future or exchange fund, you can rely on BlackRock for portfolio manager selection and stringent ongoing due diligence, all conducted with a disciplined focus on our clients' objectives. The result: a strategically appropriate addition to your portfolio with the potential to enhance returns and reduce overall risk.
