Interim Report and Unaudited Accounts [3] Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders 30 September 2018 Dear Shareholder, I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Global Index Funds (the “Company” or “BGIF”) over the six months to 30 September 2018. The BGIF range comprised 10 funds (each a “Fund”, together the “Funds”) as at 30 September 2018. The Funds’ performance is covered in more detail in the separate Investment Advisers’ Report. The period under review saw volatility return as rising US rates, an escalating trade war and geopolitical tensions started to weigh on investors. The global economy was generally strong after a shaky start to the year. This was particularly true for the US, which recorded 4.2% growth in the second quarter of 2018, fueled by a package of corporate and personal tax cuts. However, towards the end of the period under review, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank cut their forecasts, stating that trade tensions between the US and the rest of the world would damage growth. There was no let-up in the trade war between the US and China, which continued to escalate. China’s response to tariffs on steel and aluminium was initially relatively measured, but as the US administration continued its bullish approach, the Chinese authorities started to target flagship US products such as Jack Daniels and Harley-Davidson. In the short-term, however, the US economy continued to move higher. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) aimed to keep any inflationary pressures in check with rising interest rates. Rates rose in June and September 2018 and another rate rise is expected before the end of the year. Further rate rises are forecasted for 2019, but slowing home and car sales, plus the impact of the trade war, may cool the economy sufficiently to make them unnecessary. This activity was reflected in growing volatility in markets, particularly in bond markets. The S&P ended the period under review higher than where it had started, capping its longest-ever bull run, but there were signs of vulnerability emerging. Market leadership had been confined to a few narrow technology names and when these started to wobble over governance and privacy issues, there was little to replace them. Beyond the US, the economic picture was less rosy. Europe failed to recapture the economic momentum seen in the second half of 2017, though it did manage to recover from a difficult start to the year. The UK remained mired in Brexit squabbles, with signs that this was having a tangible effect on the economy. Japan was weaker, and only narrowly sidestepped recession. It grew at

  • Dear Colleague
    Welcome Dear Colleague, We are delighted to invite you to the 25th International EurOMA Conference in Budapest, Hungary, 24-26 June 2018. The conference will be hosted by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Széchenyi István University, and the Institute for Computer Science and Control (Hungarian Academy of Sciences). The theme of EurOMA 2018 is: „To Serve, to Produce and to Servitize in the Era of Networks, Big Data, and Analytics.” This theme aims at fulfilling EurOMA’s vision in the new era of networks, big data, and advanced data analytics by giving theory-based, practically relevant, generalizable and innovative answers to current and emerging issues in services, manufacturing and capability development (that is servitization, at its core). We also intend to broaden EurOMA’s base in by highlighting the interfaces between operations management – engineering and operations management – data analytics, by securing organizational commitments from reputable academic and industrial partners and, lastly, by placing the conference, after 13 years, again in the centre of Europe, in the inspiring environment of Hungarian history and culture. We welcome papers addressing a variety of operations management topics and in particular those that fit in the tracks listed; the full list will be available soon at our site. At this point we also invite proposals for special sessions.
