The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has approved BlackRock’s ASEAN Systematic Active Equity (SAE) strategy under the Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP). The BF1 Advantage ASEAN Equity Fund will invest across ASEAN equities, with approximately half allocated to Singapore. The fund aims to enhance Singapore’s asset management ecosystem and broaden investor participation in local equity markets. It will utilize a data-driven approach and is expected to hold 100 to 300 securities, tracking the MSCI ASEAN Investable Market Index. BlackRock's strategy is part of its larger $426.48 billion systematic equities platform.
