BlackRock Managed Income Fund Justin Christofel, Alex Shingler | “The fund outperformed its benchmark due to additive U.S. equity and covered call selection, as well as selection within high-quality fixed income. There were numerous tactical changes amid a rapidly evolving environment. Overall equity exposure increased, particularly through additions to international equities. Some U.S. duration exposure was reduced in favor of German bunds and adjusted currency positions. The primary driver of the fund's outperformance was positive equity selection. An active tilt toward cyclical and growth exposures within U.S. equities and covered calls proved beneficial amid improved trade sentiment, resilient economic data, and further artificial intelligence (AI) optimism. High-quality fixed income selection contributed, particularly investment grade corporate bond selection and an off-benchmark allocation to collateralized loan obligations. BSD Analysis: BSD views this as a moderately bullish positioning emphasizing income with growth participation. The fund's tilt toward cyclical equities and selective fixed income plays fits the environment of moderating inflation and policy easing. MSCI and other financial analytics firms benefit from increasing passive inflows and pricing power in index products. With MSCI at ~35x forward earnings, valuation remains high but justified by mid-teens EPS growth. Credit spreads are tight, suggesting cautious credit beta exposure is prudent.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
