What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio (the Fund) seeks total return as is consistent with preservation of capital.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests in a diversified mix of fixed-income securities across credit qualities and geographies, including high-yield bonds, emerging-market debt, mortgage-backed securities, corporate loans, and preferred securities, with active trading to pursue total return. The manager may use derivatives, leverage, and short positions in mortgage securities to implement strategies and adjust risk exposure. Commodity exposure may be obtained through a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, which may represent up to 25% of total assets and invests primarily in commodity-related instruments. Because the fund may invest significantly in non-investment-grade bonds and may employ leverage, returns depend on the credit quality and performance of selected securities and the effectiveness of leveraged positions.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

113.71%
of net assets
Securitized50.17%
Bonds47.69%
Stocks4.93%
Loans4.53%
3 smaller6.40%

These positions come to 113.71% 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%.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 2.99%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 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.

Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.

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.

3.17 yr
approx. move per 100bp
4.56 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 spreads59%
Interest rates41%

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.
