BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust plc (the “Company”) announces
that, as a result of changes being made to BlackRock’s Global Emerging
Markets (GEM) team structure, Gordon Fraser will become a co-manager of the
Company’s portfolio alongside Sam Vecht, who will continue as lead
co-manager. Mr Fraser will replace Christoph Brinkmann who is stepping down
from his role. The changes will have immediate effect.

 

Mr Fraser is a Managing Director and senior investor on BlackRock’s
Fundamental Equity Global Emerging Markets Platform. He brings 18 years of EM
investing experience, having managed long-only and long-short portfolios on
the team. He is also responsible for the team’s broader macro research
process.

 

Mr Fraser joined the Global Emerging Markets Platform in 2006 as part of
BlackRock’s Analyst Program. He earned a BA (1st class) and an MPhil
(distinction) in Economics from Cambridge University in 2006. He is also a CFA
Charterholder.

 

No changes are being made to the way the portfolio is managed on a day-to-day
basis as a result of these changes.

 

Carolan Dobson, Chairman of the Company commented:

 

"Sam continuing as lead portfolio manager provides continuity and we welcome
the addition of Gordon Fraser to the team as a named co-manager. We thank
Christoph for his significant commitment and contribution to the Company.”
