About BMSIX

BlackRock Income Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating high current income with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The strategy primarily invests in fixed-income securities, allocating at least 80% of assets to bonds while dynamically rotating across sectors to capture diversified income sources. The portfolio spans U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate credit, securitized debt, and selective emerging markets exposure, supplemented by derivatives to manage interest-rate and currency risks. Management emphasizes multi-sector flexibility and risk management, seeking steady income across market cycles rather than adherence to a single benchmark style. The fund’s institutional share class features a competitive expense profile for its category and aims to balance yield with disciplined duration and credit positioning. Led by experienced portfolio managers within BlackRock’s Global Credit and Fundamental Fixed Income platforms, the fund plays a role as a core-plus income allocation for investors looking to diversify across rates, mortgages, and credit while maintaining professional oversight of sector selection and risk controls.
