BlackRock has launched a global small-cap equities fund that aims to capitalise on high-alpha opportunities among smaller firms.
The BlackRock Global Smaller Companies fund will be managed by Dan Whitestone and Matthew Betts.
Whitestone said: “We believe small-cap stocks can present us with the most attractive hunting ground as these companies tend to operate in an inefficient, under-researched area of the market and can offer the potential to generate returns for our clients over the long term.”
