Following the announcement from BlackRock that Nick McLeod-Clarke is taking extended sick leave and will no longer be co-managing the BlackRock Income and Growth fund, we have placed the fund’s Morningstar Analyst Rating™ Under Review. The fund previously held a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze. Adam Avigdori, co-manager since April 2012, has assumed full responsibility for the management of the fund. We acknowledge that Avigdori benefits from the support of the broader UK team; furthermore BlackRock has also indicated that it is looking to add resources to support the management of the fund. Nonetheless we feel it prudent to place the fund Under Review at this time.
