Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
The investment objective of BlackRock Event Driven Equity Fund (the Fund) is to seek long-term capital growth.
The fund invests in equity securities of companies undergoing or expected to undergo material changes—such as mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, restructurings, or management transitions—that the manager believes will drive price appreciation. The fund takes both long positions in underpriced securities and short positions in overpriced ones, using direct holdings and derivatives including swaps. It may allocate up to 20% to fixed-income securities and engages in active, frequent trading. Because returns depend on the manager's identification and timing of catalysts and their actual occurrence, performance will diverge from broad equity benchmarks.

Look-through blends 2 underlying funds; 0.0% of NAV was not looked through and stays direct-classified. The blend is as of 2025Q4, one or more quarters before the direct holdings (2026Q2).
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.
