BICSX Overview
On this page you'll find an in-depth profile of Blackrock Commodity Strategies Portfolio Institutional Shares. Learn about the key management, total assets, investment strategy and contact information of BICSX among other information.
Investment Strategy
The investment seeks total return. The adviser utilizes two strategies and under normal circumstances expects to invest approximately 50% of its total assets in each strategy. One strategy focuses on investments in commodity-linked derivatives. To meet coverage and collateral requirements associated with these derivative investments, and to invest excess cash, the fund holds a portion of its portfolio in investment-grade short-term fixed-income securities. The other strategy focuses on equity investments in commodity-related companies, including, but not limited to, companies operating in the mining, energy and agricultural sectors.
