We see strong arguments for allocating to gold and gold equities
for diversification
Deteriorating global economic growth, declining interest rate expectations
and a weakening US dollar could all act as tailwinds for gold
Cost inflation pressures have eased and we believe margins for gold
producers may have troughed
Valuations for gold equities appear attractive relative to their history

How is E.S.G. incorporated into our
investment process?
Companies behaving in the interest of shareholders, society
and the environment
For a gold company, E.S.G. is crucial as it relates to it
maintaining its social license to operate
We see a positive correlation between strong E.S.G. and
better risk-adjusted returns
Embedding E.S.G. considerations in the investment process
can help avoid ‘blow-up’ incidents
E.S.G. is discussed in detail in meetings with companies’
management teams
Our site visits to companies’ mines enrich our views on their
E.S.G.
We collaborate with BlackRock’s Investment Stewardship
division
We have access to external E.S.G. data and internal E.S.G
tools
Analysts and portfolio managers comment on E.S.G. when
completing research templates
E.S.G. is as important as valuation and fundamentals when
making portfolio decisions

Why might investors consider gold?

Diversification can improve
risk-adjusted returns
Inflation protection / store of
wealth
As an alternative to fiat
currency
1970:
US$10 = 15 Big Mac’s = 0.28oz of gold
Meanwhile, gold has zero credit risk and has very limited supply growth.

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 FTSE Gold Mines 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 sector requirements 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.

For investors in Italy: This document is marketing material. Before investing please read the Prospectus and the KIID available on
www.blackrock.com/it, which contain a summary of investors’ rights.
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the
amount originally invested.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or
strategy.
Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly
marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may
change from time to time.
Concentration Risk: Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to
any localised economic, market, political or regulatory events.
Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other
instruments, may expose the Fund to financial loss.
Equity Risk: The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include
political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events.
Investments in Mining Securities: Investments in mining securities are subject to sector-specific risks which include environmental concerns,
government policy, supply concerns and taxation. The variation in returns from mining securities is typically above average compared to other equity
securities.
Liquidity Risk: The Fund's investments may have low liquidity which often causes the value of these investments to be less predictable. In extreme
cases, the Fund may not be able to realise the investment at the latest market price or at a price considered fair.

In doing so, the IA will refer to the FTSE Gold Mines 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 sector requirements 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 value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.

Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time. Concentration Risk: Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political or regulatory events. Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, may expose the Fund to financial loss. Equity Risk: The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. Investments in Mining Securities: Investments in mining securities are subject to sector-specific risks which include environmental concerns, government policy, supply concerns and taxation. The variation in returns from mining securities is typically above average compared to other equity securities. Liquidity Risk: The Fund's investments may have low liquidity which often causes the value of these investments to be less predictable. In extreme cases, the Fund may not be able to realise the investment at the latest market price or at a price considered fair.
