About BRZAX

The BlackRock Advantage ESG International Equity Fund is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on international equity investments with a strong emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Managed by BlackRock Advisors, the fund primarily seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies that are listed in or similar to those in the MSCI EAFE Index. The strategy blends both growth and value stocks across a range of sectors and market capitalizations, using proprietary quantitative analysis to select holdings. A distinguishing feature of this fund is its commitment to sustainability; it maintains certain ESG characteristics, manages climate risk exposure, and seeks investment opportunities tied to climate solutions, as measured against its benchmark. The fund excludes companies involved in controversial weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, and those generating significant revenues from thermal coal or oil sands extraction, unless they meet specific climate commitments. The portfolio includes prominent international firms and provides diversified sector exposure, making it a vehicle for investors looking to align global equity exposure with responsible investment practices.
