Who is BlackRock?

BlackRock is the largest investment company in the world, established over 30 years ago.

As an investment company, they develop sensible, tried and tested, investment strategies to grow money over time, which includes buying and holding lots of different types of investments, such as shares in companies (shares represent the ownership of a company), with the view these investments will grow over time.

BlackRock will look after (hold) all the investments on behalf of investors, and make gradual changes over time to ensure the investments are always on the right path to long-term growth.

They're very good at this, and in fact, they manage an astonishing £8 trillion.

Your money will be in expert hands, but there’s no guarantees. Your money will go up and down in value, meaning you could get back less than you put in.
