"BlackRock Managed Income Fund returned 3.38% in Q2 2025, outperforming its benchmark. The fund is constructive on equities (adding to international) but remains defensive on bonds, avoiding long duration and keeping high yield underweight."
For the second quarter of 2025, the BlackRock Managed Income Fund posted returns of 3.38% (Institutional shares), outperforming its benchmark. Key performance drivers included strong U.S. equity selection, covered call strategies, and high-quality fixed income allocations. Detractors included underweight exposure to international equities and sub-investment grade fixed income. Tactically, the fund increased international equity exposure, reduced U.S. duration in favor of German bunds, and maintained an underweight position in high yield credit. Looking forward, the team expects equities to rise over the next 12 months on earnings growth, while maintaining a cautious, short-duration posture in fixed income.
