BlackRock UK Absolute Alpha Fund Update

In 2015 the BlackRock UK Absolute Alpha Fund returned 7.8%* for investors. With the prospect of higher interest rates in the UK and further market volatility, this absolute return strategy offers an attractive way for investors to benefit from share prices moving in both directions.
