Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The investment objective of the BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio (the Low Duration Fund or the Fund) is to seek total return in excess of the reference benchmark in a manner that is consistent with preservation of capital.
The fund invests primarily in investment-grade bonds with an average portfolio duration between 0 and 3 years, benchmarked to the ICE BofA 1-3 Year US Corporate & Government Index, and may hold up to 35% in high-yield bonds, up to 35% in foreign issuers, and up to 10% in non-US currency exposure. The management team actively selects individual securities across sectors including Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds. Because security selection depends on the team's evaluation of individual bonds and sectors rather than index tracking, fund performance may diverge from its benchmark.

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

Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Bonds | 59.23% |
| Securitized | 39.75% |
| Cash & short-term | 1.08% |
| Other | 0.18% |
| 2 smaller | 0.02% |
| Derivatives | -0.04% |
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.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Securitized | 39.6% |
| Financials | 14.3% |
| Other | 12.3% |
| Government | 8.2% |
| 12 smaller | 25.6% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to 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.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 51.0% |
| Floating rate | 48.9% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 3.6% |
| 1-3y | 24.5% |
| 3-5y | 24.5% |
| 5-10y | 12.8% |
| 10y+ | 34.7% |
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.
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.
| Credit spreads | 58% |
| Interest rates | 42% |
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 the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +2.26 yr |
| High yield | +0.56 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.04 yr | 2% |
| 1 yr | 1.38 yr | 68% |
| 5 yr | 0.51 yr | 25% |
| 10 yr | 0.09 yr | 4% |
30 yr is NEGATIVE (-0.00 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.
| 3 mo | 0.69 yr | 24% |
| 1 yr | 0.32 yr | 11% |
| 5 yr | 1.62 yr | 57% |
| 10 yr | 0.11 yr | 4% |
| 30 yr | 0.09 yr | 3% |
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.

Dollar change per 1bp of spread movement, as filed and sign-anchored. A blank cell was not filed; a zero was.
Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 2.03 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.
