Model-Based

BlackRock's model-integrated approach to active fixed income combines the insights of our people with a quantitative research platform to generate high quality alpha across fixed income asset classes. Research driven investment insights are incorporated in portfolios using a systematic portfolio construction process designed to optimize the efficiency of their returns. The distinguishing feature of BlackRock's fixed income investment management style is the ability to generate alpha within a risk-managed framework. Real-time analysis of a vast array of risk measures allows assessment of the potential impact of various strategies on total return. As a result, consistent value is added and performance volatility is controlled.
