15. Disclaimer – BGF Global Multi-Asset Income Fund
BlackRock Global Funds (BGF) is an open-ended investment company established in Luxembourg which is available for sale in certain
jurisdictions only. BGF is not available for sale in the U.S. or to U.S. persons. Product information concerning BGF should not be published
in the U.S. It is recognised under Section 264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. BlackRock Investment Management (UK)
Limited is the UK distributor of BGF. Most of the protections provided by the UK regulatory system, and the compensation under the
Financial Services Compensation Scheme, will not be available. A limited range of BGF sub-funds have a reporting fund status A sterling
share class that seeks to comply with UK Reporting Fund Status requirements. Subscriptions in BGF are valid only if made on the basis of
the current Prospectus, the most recent financial reports and the Key Investor Information Document, which are available on our
website. Prospectuses, Key Investor Information Documents and application forms may not be available to investors in certain jurisdictions
where the Fund in question has not been authorised.
Charges from capital: Some or all of the Manager’s annual charge for the Fund is taken from capital rather than from income. Whilst this
increases the yield, it reduces the potential for capital growth.
Risk to Capital Growth through Distributions: The fund may make distributions from capital as well as income or pursue certain investment
strategies in order to generate income. Whilst this might allow more income to be distributed, it may also have the effect of reducing capital
and the potential for long-term capital growth.
Credit Risk: The fund invests in fixed interest securities issued by companies which, compared to bonds issued or guaranteed by
governments, are exposed to greater risk of default in the repayment of the capital provided to the company or interest payments due to the
fund.
Emerging market risk / Emerging European market risk: Compared to more established economies, the value of investments in developing
Emerging Markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or
political instability.
Interest Rate Risk: The fund invests in fixed interest securities such as corporate or government bonds which pay a fixed or variable rate of
interest (also known as the ‘coupon’) and behave similarly to a loan. These securities are therefore exposed to changes in interest rates
which will affect the value of any securities held.
High Yield Bond: The fund invests in high yielding bonds. Companies who issue higher yield bonds typically have an increased risk of
defaulting on repayments. In the event of default, the value of your investment may reduce. Economic conditions and interest rate levels
may also impact significantly the values of high yield bonds.

the fund.
Interest rate risk: The fund invests in fixed interest securities such as corporate or government bonds which pay a fixed or variable rate of
interest (also known as the ‘coupon’) and behave similarly to a loan. These securities are therefore exposed to changes in interest rates
which will affect the value of any securities held.
Property/Commodity ETFs: The fund may invest in exchange traded funds which have exposure to property securities and commodities
(through an index). Property investments are subject to adverse changes in economic conditions, adverse local market conditions and
risks associated with the acquisition, financing and ownership and operation and disposal of real property. The underlying commodities
index may concentrate investment on selected commodity futures of multinational markets. This makes the exchange traded fund
extremely dependent on the performance of the commodity markets concerned. The Fund may invest more than 10% of its Net Asset
Value in the units of UCITS and/or other UCIs.
