As of Jul 30, 2026
The BlackRock Global Dividend Fund delivered an 11.72% return in Q2 2026, driven primarily by semiconductor holdings that benefited from AI infrastructure enthusiasm. Applied Materials, MediaTek, and SK Hynix contributed strongly on robust earnings, upgraded outlooks, and favorable memory market dynamics. Performance was challenged by narrow market leadership favoring growth over higher-yielding areas, with stock selection in industrials and consumer discretionary detracting. A lack of exposure to Micron Technology hurt returns, while Shell and BAE Systems detracted as geopolitical tensions eased, reducing near-term support for energy and defense stocks. The fund maintained overweight positions in consumer discretionary, financials, and energy, with underweights in information technology, health care, and real estate. Geographically, the fund was overweight the United Kingdom and underweight the United States. The managers remain constructive on AI but are shifting focus toward infrastructure bottlenecks and second-order beneficiaries. They continue emphasizing quality businesses, valuation discipline, and deliberate risk sizing while navigating geopolitical fragmentation and supply-chain realignment that create selective global opportunities.
The fund seeks high-quality, dividend-paying companies globally that can generate strong, consistent returns with lower volatility over the long term, focusing on valuation discipline and deliberate risk sizing while navigating evolving market conditions.
The managers remain constructive on AI but believe opportunities will increasingly come from identifying infrastructure bottlenecks and second-order beneficiaries rather than the most obvious winners. They continue to focus on quality businesses, valuation discipline, and deliberate risk sizing as they navigate evolving market conditions against an uncertain backdrop. Improving industrial activity, geopolitical fragmentation, and supply-chain realignment are expected to create selective opportunities globally.
