(Together the “Affected Mirror Funds”)

We have been notified by the directors of BlackRock Strategic Funds (“BlackRock”) of upcoming name changes to the underlying funds of the Affected Mirror Funds. The change takes effect 26 May 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

Name change

BlackRock are renaming the BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios range to become BlackRock Strategic Funds MyMap Plus, creating a closer alignment with BlackRock's broader MyMap family. MyMap is BlackRock's flagship multi-asset range of funds, designed to help investors choose a ready-made, diversified solution that matches their individual risk preference and supports their long-term financial goals. The MyMap Plus funds complement the wider MyMap range by employing a long-term strategic asset allocation, whilst being differentiated through tactical flexibility and more frequent rebalancing, allowing BlackRock to make shorter-term adjustments as market conditions and events evolve.

There will be no change in the way the underlying funds are currently managed.  They will continue to follow the same long-term-shed investment philosophy and leveraging the breadth of BlackRock's iShares ETF platform, in order to implement an asset allocation framework designed to deliver outcomes aligned to each underlying fund's target risk level through diversified portfolios.

The combination of strategic and tactical asset allocation brings together long-term consistency and day to day adaptability, supporting active risk management and opportunity capture as conditions change.

Implementation also remains unchanged, using a blend of efficient index exposures and high conviction active strategies, alongside structural themes and targeted factor and sector exposures - enabling portfolios to adapt to market dynamics without compromising their long-term intent. For further details please see the Appendix in the BlackRock Strategic Funds notification opposite.

As of the Effective Date, in line with the above changes, we will be updating the names of the Affected Mirror Funds as follows:

These changes will take effect automatically and policyholders do not need to take any action.
