BlackRock Equity Dividend Fund
Actively managed U.S. stock fund
The investment objective of BlackRock Equity Dividend Fund (the Fund) is to seek long-term total return and current income.
The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying equity securities, focusing on large-cap stocks but holding securities across all market capitalizations, and may allocate up to 25% of assets to foreign issuers. The manager selects holdings intended to deliver both capital appreciation and current income, rather than prioritizing yield alone. The fund holds at least 80% of net assets in dividend-paying equities, including common and preferred stock, convertible securities, and derivatives providing exposure to such securities.
