Manager Departure at BlackRock Global Allocation Does Not Affect Ratings

Analyst Note

On April 16, BlackRock announced portfolio manager David Clayton will retire on June 30, 2024. Clayton joined the global allocation team in 2010 and has been a named manager since 2017. His primary focus was leading the fundamental equity sleeve of the portfolio. Sarah Thompson, a member of the global allocation team since 2018, will take over his duties on the fund. Her background is primarily in credit research; before joining the global allocation team she spent five years as BlackRock’s global director of credit research. As part of the transition, Thompson will lead a newly formed strategic investment group with three fundamental sector equity leaders. We don’t expect the changing of the guard to alter the fundamental equity selection process. The continued presence of lead portfolio manager Rick Rieder and his senior investment team of Russ Koesterich, Kate Moore, Randy Berkowitz, and Thompson continue to support a High rating for People.
