Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The investment objective of the BlackRock High Yield Portfolio (the High Yield Fund or the Fund) is to seek to maximize total return, consistent with income generation and prudent investment management.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests primarily in non-investment grade bonds rated BB or lower, with maturities of ten years or less, seeking to maximize total return through income and capital appreciation. The fund normally holds at least 80% of assets in high yield investments including corporate bonds, bank loans, asset-backed securities, and convertible debt, and may allocate up to 30% to non-dollar denominated bonds and up to 10% to distressed or defaulted securities. Because the fund's returns depend on the credit quality and performance of the lower-rated issuers it selects, credit deterioration or defaults among holdings will reduce fund value.

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

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
1.77 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
3.35 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
Credit spreads65%
Interest rates35%

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.

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.
