About BCREX
The BlackRock Real Estate Securities Fund Investor C Shares is a mutual fund that focuses on generating long-term growth of capital and current income through investments in U.S. real estate companies. Its primary function is to offer investors access to a diversified portfolio of equity securities from issuers whose main business activities are tied to commercial, industrial, or residential real estate.

Notable features include a core concentration on leading real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies, with significant exposure to sectors such as warehousing, data centers, healthcare real estate, and multifamily residential properties. With a track record of quarterly dividend distributions and an established presence since 2012, the fund provides a way for investors to gain exposure to the real estate sector’s unique growth and income opportunities within the broader financial market. Its role is particularly relevant for those seeking to diversify beyond traditional equities and fixed income, capitalizing on the potential benefits of the real estate sector in a managed fund structure.
