Summary

BlackRock Sustainable Balanced became just BlackRock Balanced in early 2025, when BlackRock removed the fund’s mandate to maintain certain environmental, social, and governance characteristics. The prospectus update didn’t change this fund’s key strengths: Investors continue to benefit from a forward-thinking asset-allocation team that uses its research-backed macroeconomic views to complement two solid underlying investment teams.
