About BGPCX

Its primary objective is to maximize total return, balancing income generation with prudent risk management. The fund invests predominantly in securities backed by government agencies, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), as well as U.S. Treasury bills, minimizing credit risk due to the government backing of many underlying instruments. The portfolio typically falls within the intermediate government bond category, with durations ranging between 3.5 and 6 years, and an effective duration recently near 5.6 years. Notably, a significant proportion of fund assets is concentrated in its top holdings, highlighting a focused investment approach. This structure positions the fund as a key vehicle for investors seeking exposure to the U.S. mortgage market while prioritizing asset quality and intermediate-term interest rate profiles. The BlackRock Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund plays an important role in the market by offering access to a specialized segment of fixed-income securities that help support housing finance and broader capital markets.
