C000166016 Investment Objective and Strategy
BlackRock Mid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Blackrock Funds.
Investment objective
The investment objective of BlackRock Mid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio (“Mid-Cap Growth Equity” or the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds SM (the “Trust”), is long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Mid-Cap Growth Equity normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities issued by U.S. mid-capitalization companies which Fund management believes have above-average earnings growth potential. Equity securities consist primarily of common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock. Although a universal definition of mid-capitalization companies does not exist, the Fund generally defines these companies, at the time of the Funds investment, as those with market capitalizations comparable in size to the companies in the Russell Midcap Growth Index (between approximately $162.877 million and 35.335 billion as of December 29, 2017). In the future, the Fund may define mid-capitalization companies using a different index or classification system.
The Fund seeks to buy primarily common stock but also can invest in preferred stock, convertible securities and other equity securities. From time to time the Fund may invest in shares of companies through new issues or initial public offerings (IPOs). The Fund may, when consistent with the Funds investment objective, buy or sell options or futures on a security or an index of securities (commonly known as derivatives). The primary purpose of using derivatives is to attempt to reduce risk to the Fund as a whole (hedge), but they may also be used to maintain liquidity and commit cash pending investment. Fund management also may, but under normal market conditions generally does not intend to, use derivatives for speculation to increase returns.
