A planned merger of BlackRock Large Cap Focus Growth and BlackRock Capital Appreciation has been postponed to a later date, the company announced. A company spokesperson could not provide additional details. The merger, initially planned for December 2023, would have folded Capital Appreciation into Large Cap Focus Growth, but nothing will change at the funds until at least 60 days after the firm makes another announcement. This development does not impact the strategies' Morningstar Medalist Ratings.
