Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The investment objective of the BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio (the Core Bond Fund or the Fund) is to seek to realize a total return that exceeds that of the reference benchmark.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds across sectors including U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds, maintaining average portfolio duration within 20% of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index benchmark. It purchases only investment-grade securities at the time of acquisition and may allocate up to 25% to foreign issuers, with up to 10% exposed to non-U.S. currency risk. The fund may use derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements, and other techniques to hedge or enhance returns. Because the fund's duration must stay within a band around the benchmark rather than track it precisely, its total return may diverge from the index.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.

Derivatives-0.23%

These positions come to 111.38% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

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.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Cumulative return· Jul 2023 – Apr 2026

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are 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.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying nearly as much.

Interest-rate duration

approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
4.47 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Interest rates58%
Credit spreads42%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
