BlackRock announced today the launch of the BGF Euro Income Fixed Maturity Bond Fund 2030, a new piece of the European range of maturity products, which currently totals 2.1 billion dollars (USD) in mutual fund assets.
The debut comes after the success of the BGF Euro Income FMP 2029, closed with a final collection of 766 million dollars (USD) / 658 million euros (EUR). With these initiatives, the company has achieved the largest collection in Europe in the segment of maturity funds in 2025, becoming the leading manager for collection in the cross-border non-captive maturity products.
Strategy and portfolio composition
The new fund is a fundamental management strategy oriented to income with a four-year maturity. It mainly invests in a diversified portfolio of European government securities from developed markets and aims to increase the yield through long positions in credit default swaps (CDS). C
With an overall investment grade profile, the portfolio aims to combine income generation and volatility control.
Fixed maturity products seek to offer investors the clarity of a defined investment horizon and predictable income, while our dynamic research-based approach allows us to mitigate risks and seize opportunities as soon as they arise.
Jose Aguilar, Head of European High Yield and Co-Portfolio Manager, BlackRock
Goals for investors and management team
The strategy offers the possibility of fixing currently interesting returns, carefully managing credit risk and volatility through an active approach. The goal is to propose predictable cash flows and a shorter duration exposure.
The fund is co-managed by Jose Aguilar and Fabian Kochli and supported by 14 research analysts from the European High Yield team. Led by experienced managers, the team builds carefully selected and risk-oriented portfolios through a rigorous bottom-up analysis process.
