AGENDA

Tomorrow's Global Portfolio: The Outlook for International ETFs
  • How much will the dollar matter?
  • Is now the time for advisors to break their client's home-bias tendencies?
  • What are some approaches to break out of the U.S. market?
The experts at iShares join us as we take a dive into the world outside the US and explore the opportunities for international investing in the coming year. We'll take a look into how the Covid vaccine and the incoming Biden administration will affect the geopolitical landscape, and how to keep a global perspective.
Exploring ESG: The Emerging Face of Sustainable Investing?
  • Why a sustainable strategy is worth considering
  • Integrating sustainable approaches with your investment outlook
  • Taking climate into consideration
2020 showed us that Sustainable investing is both here to stay, and a helpful tool for managing risk across your entire portfolio. We'll provide a framework for evaluating your sustainable options, and a clear plan for how to discuss this exciting evolution of investment management with your clients.
Looking Beyond 60/40: Making Fixed Income Work in the Real World
  • What's an appropriate allocation to Fixed Income?
  • Are bonds just for risk management or are there more opportunities?
  • What's the outlook on interest rates and inflation?
Decades of research have led us to believe that fixed income securities play specific, defined roles in investment portfolios: yield potential and counter-correlation. But with interest rates near zero and inflation muted, where does fixed income fit in a modern portfolio? We'll look at how both traditional and next-generation fixed income ETFs can help you manage the risk and return potential of your entire portfolio.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com or www.blackrock.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

 

Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. 

International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments. These risks often are heightened for investments in emerging/developing markets and in concentrations of single countries.

A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change.
