About this ETF
This fund is designed to provide investors with both current income and sustained capital growth over time. It achieves this by primarily investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed by BlackRock Canada or an affiliate, known as iShares ETFs. These underlying iShares ETFs gain exposure to either fixed income or equity markets, or both. Notably, the iShares ETFs selected for the portfolio typically adopt ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investment strategies, or they concentrate their holdings in government bonds.
