                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s Fund Services today stated that its ratings on a range of BlackRock index funds are unaffected by the manager&#8217;s announcement that it would lower its management fees to a new rate of 0.2 per cent. </p>
<p>From Oct. 1, BlackRock Asset Management has lowered its management fees on six BlackRock index funds. Depending on the strategy, the fees are being reduced by between 0.06% per year and 0.15% per year. </p>
<p>Fees are a key detractor from returns, and BlackRock&#8217;s move to reduce its fees across the index strategies is viewed as positive for investors. </p>
<p>All six funds are rated four stars and represent domestic equity, listed property, international equity (hedged and unhedged), domestic bond, and global bond funds.</p>
