"The fund returned 2.15% in Q3 2025 as gains in securitized assets and emerging market debt offset losses from underweight Treasury positions. Portfolio duration was neutralized to 5.87 years with tactical shifts focusing on the belly and long end of the yield curve."
In Q3 2025, the BlackRock Core Bond Fund delivered returns of 2.15% (Institutional shares) and 2.09% (Investor A shares). Performance was supported by positive contributions from securitized products, emerging market debt (especially Latin American sovereign rates), and agency MBS. However, performance was hampered by U.S. rates exposure—particularly an underweight position in 10-year Treasuries during a yield curve rally triggered by Fed rate cuts—and an underweight position in U.S. investment grade credit. During the quarter, the fund neutralized its duration to 5.87 years, decreased its rates-steepening bias, and repositioned exposure to the belly and tail end of the yield curve in expectation of future curve flattening.
