Changes to Portfolio Management Team 

16 April 2025

BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust plc (the "Company") has been informed of changes being made to BlackRock's Global Emerging Markets ("GEM") team structure. The changes are designed to enhance investment focus, with a greater alignment of expertise and portfolio management responsibilities.

Sam Vecht and Emily Fletcher will continue in their roles as co-managers of the Company's portfolio, supported by the extensive resources available through BlackRock's global footprint of research, technology and risk analytics, stewardship and corporate access. Sudaif Niaz will step down as a co-manager of the Company's portfolio.

No changes are being made to the way the Company's portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis as a result of this change.

Katrina Hart, Chair of the Company commented:

"The Board supports the changes being made to BlackRock's wider GEM team, which it believes will be positive and should enhance focus and efficiency. It values the continuity provided by Sam and Emily highly, given that they have managed the portfolio since inception and will continue as lead co-managers. The Board thanks Sudaif for his commitment and contribution to the Company since his appointment as co-manager in February 2023, and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours."
