BlackRock China Bond Fund

The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets. The Fund invests globally at least 70% of its total assets in fixed income (FI) securities issued or distributed either inside or outside of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and denominated in Renminbi or other non Chinese domestic currencies. These include bonds and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) which may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the Asian Development Bank). The Fund may invest in the full range of fixed income securities which may include investments with a relatively low credit rating or which are unrated. The investment adviser (IA) may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) for investment purposes in order to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, and/or to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via FDIs, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments and is not constrained by any benchmark in this process. The 1 Year China Household Savings Deposit Rate should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund. The performance of the 1 Year China Household Savings Deposit Rate is only available in Chinese Yuan (CNY) currency, the past performance overleaf is therefore based on CNY rather than the share class currency. The price of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates which in turn may affect the value of your investment. Fixed income securities prices move inversely to interest rates. Therefore, the market value of fixed income securities may decrease as interest rates increase. The credit rating of an issuing entity will generally affect the yield that can be earned on fixed income securities; the better the credit rating the smaller the yield. The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”). The depositary of the Fund is The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch.
