BlackRock expands its MyMap range with the launch of the MyMap7 fund, designed to meet the evolving needs of its clients and investors.
The launch will seek to enhance the MyMap offering to cover a broader range of investment objectives and risk appetites, in response to client demand.
MyMap is BlackRock’s range of actively managed multi-asset funds, which invest across equities, bonds and liquid alternatives – providing more diversification than investing in a single asset class.
Each actively managed MyMap fund offers a different level of risk and potential return to match investors’ long-term investment goals, implemented through a collection of low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds.
MyMap7 is designed to complement the existing core MyMap range, consisting of the MyMap3, MyMap4, MyMap5 and MyMap6 funds. The fund will have the highest risk target of the core range, and under normal market conditions, will predominately invest in equities, with allocations to bonds and diversifiers like gold.
Heather Christie, Head of UK Adviser and Platform Sales, BlackRock, commented:
“The launch of MyMap7 marks an exciting evolution in our multi-asset offering. Since 2019, the MyMap range has aimed to make investing simple and more accessible for UK investors. With MyMap7, we’re responding directly to client feedback by introducing a new risk profile, offering more choice for investors seeking long-term growth.”
Chris Ellis Thomas, Co-Portfolio Manager of BlackRock’s MyMap Range, added:
“In today’s unpredictable markets, volatility is here to stay. MyMap7 is designed to help investors navigate this environment with confidence. Our flexible approach allows us to adjust asset allocations dynamically, tapping into a broader universe – across granular types of equities, bonds and alternatives like gold – to capture long-term opportunities presented by mega forces, including AI and geopolitical fragmentation.”
In just five years, MyMap has become one of the fastest growing multi-asset funds in the market, with £3.6bn AUM[1]. The range has also delivered strong performance, with an average return of 33.2%[2]. In July 2025, the range was named as one of Citywire’s Top 20 Fund of Funds[3].
In BlackRock’s People and Money survey, it revealed that 70% of UK adults who do not currently invest cite lack of money as the primary barrier—higher than the European average of 65%[4]. This underscores the importance of cost-effective solutions like MyMap, which at 17 basis points, ranks in the lowest 90% in terms of fees amongst its peer group[5].
