On 1^st July 2015, BlackRock announced the appointment of Tom Holl as co-manager of the BlackRock Gold & General fund.  Mr Holl will work alongside Evy Hambro, the current fund manager and Chief Investment Officer of the Natural Resources Equity team.

Mr Holl is an established member of the BlackRock’s Natural Resources Equity team and manages a number of mandates, as well as being responsible for covering the mining and gold sectors.  There will be no change to the investment approach and the fund will continue to offer a diversified and practical way to invest in the breadth of listed gold and precious metal stocks.

We have been meeting with Mr Holl and other members of the BlackRock Natural Resources Equity team for several years as part of our coverage of BlackRock Gold & General and as such, we are comfortable retaining the fund on our Recommended list.
