About BASIX

BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Fund Investor A is an actively managed mutual fund in the nontraditional bond category that seeks total return consistent with preservation of capital. The strategy is flexible across the global fixed income spectrum, allocating dynamically among developed and emerging market debt, high yield bonds, securitized assets, and interest rate and currency positions to pursue diversified sources of income and return. The portfolio employs a broad toolkit—including mortgages, Treasuries, corporate credit, and derivatives for hedging and tactical exposure—aiming to manage duration and credit risk through changing market cycles. The fund is positioned as a core bond complement rather than a benchmark-constrained holding, with an emphasis on risk-aware positioning supported by BlackRock’s multi-sector research and trading platform. It distributes income monthly and maintains a front-load share class structure with a relatively low minimum initial investment for individual investors. Over multiple periods, performance and risk characteristics are evaluated against nontraditional bond peer groups and cash-like benchmarks to reflect its unconstrained, outcome-oriented mandate.
