What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The primary investment objective of the BlackRock Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the Floating Rate Income Portfolioor the Fund) is to seek to provide high current income,

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans and debt, including senior secured loans, subordinated loans, and fixed-rate debt converted to floating rate through derivatives, to generate high current income. The portfolio may include securities of any credit quality, with a substantial portion typically in below-investment-grade leveraged loans that carry credit risks similar to junk bonds. The fund may also hold up to 20% in fixed income securities without floating rate conversion, up to 15% in illiquid investments, and up to 10% in equities, and may invest in distressed issuers or those in default or bankruptcy. Because portfolio returns depend on the credit quality and performance of the underlying borrowers, credit deterioration or defaults will reduce income and principal value.

Jun 2026 and Jul 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

Interest-rate moves barely touch this fund — but its credit exposure is real: a 100bp widening in credit spreads costs roughly 2.5%. Duration alone would have told you none of that.

0.07 yr
approx. move per 100bp
2.38 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.

≈ -2.5%
of value
Credit spreads97%
Interest rates3%

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.

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.

GBP+0.00 yr

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.
