Key Investment Themes
Areas of High-Conviction Positioning
Cyclicals with a Catalyst
• Companies poised to benefit from industrial capex investments in
response to inflation & global supply shocks.
• Companies in end markets where volumes are already at
recessionary levels.
• Indirect beneficiaries of AI investment and advancement.
Self-Help Opportunities
with Growth Tailwinds
• Companies operating in end markets with secular growth drivers,
facing near-term operating pressures.
• Unique, industry leaders approaching new product cycles.
Under-Appreciated Quality
• Retailers with recession-resistant traits, poised to gain share.
• Businesses with recurring revenue drivers punished due to near-
term issues.
• Misunderstood compounders that are less cyclical than feared.

BGF US Flexible Equity Fund Annual Performance
The figures shown relate to past performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current of future results and should not be the
sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction
costs or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to
select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for
risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s
investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its
discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical
scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The
Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund.
Inception date for the Fund is 31 October 2002. Share Class launch date is 19 May 2006. Annualized for periods greater than one year. Performance is shown as at 30
June 2023 (Class D2) in US$ on a NAV price basis with income reinvested. Performance figures are calculated net of annual fees. The return of your investment may
increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation. Reported
Fund performance is affected by the timing differential between the pricing of the Fund and its benchmark(s). Source. Fund: BlackRock Investment Management (UK)

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current of future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund. Inception date for the Fund is 31 October 2002. Share Class launch date is 19 May 2006. Annualized for periods greater than one year. Performance is shown as at 30 June 2023 (Class D2) in US$ on a NAV price basis with income reinvested. Performance figures are calculated net of annual fees. The return of your investment may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation.
