Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Funds
may
invest
in
various
derivative
financial
instruments.
These
instruments
are
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security,
commodity,
index,
market,
and/or
other
assets
without
owning
or
taking
physical
custody
of
securities,
commodities
and/or
other
referenced
assets
or
to
manage
market,
equity,
credit,
interest
rate,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate,
commodity
and/or
other
risks.
Derivative
financial
instruments
may
give
rise
to
a
form
of
economic
leverage
and
involve
risks,
including
the
imperfect
correlation
between
the
value
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
and
the
underlying
asset,
possible
default
of
the
counterparty
to
the
transaction
or
illiquidity
of
the
instrument.
Pursuant
to
Rule
18f-4
under
the
1940
Act,
among
other
things,
the
Funds
must
either
use
derivative
financial
instruments
with
embedded
leverage
in
a
limited
manner
or
comply
with
an
outer
limit
on
fund
leverage
risk
based
on
value-at-risk. The
Funds’
successful
use
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
depends
on
the
investment
adviser’s
ability
to
predict
pertinent
market
movements
accurately,
which
cannot
be
assured.
The
use
of
these
instruments
may
result
in
losses
greater
than
if
they
had
not
been
used,
may
limit
the
amount
of
appreciation a
Fund
can
realize
on
an
investment
and/or
may
result
in
lower
distributions
paid
to
shareholders.
The
Funds’
investments
in
these
instruments,
if
any,
are
discussed
in
detail
in
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
Investment
Transactions
and
Income
Recognition:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
investment
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
dates
the
transactions
are
executed.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions
are
determined
using
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates
at
fair
value.
Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
dates
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Funds
are
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Under
the
applicable
foreign
tax
laws,
a
withholding
tax
at
various
rates
may
be
imposed
on
capital
gains,
dividends
and
interest.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets.
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
Each
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
Each
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
from
the
effects
of
changes
in
market
prices
of
those
investments,
but
are
included
as
a
component
of
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
(loss)
from
investments.
Each
Fund
reports
realized
currency
gains
(losses)
on
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
net
realized
gain
(loss)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
generally
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes.
Foreign
Taxes:
The
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
on
income,
stock
dividends,
capital
gains
on
investments,
or
certain
foreign
currency
transactions.
All
foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
each
Fund
invests.
These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
each
Fund
and
are
reflected
in
its
Statements
of
Operations
as
follows:
foreign
taxes
withheld
at
source
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
income,
foreign
taxes
on
securities
lending
income
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
securities
lending
income,
foreign
taxes
on
stock
dividends
are
presented
as
“Foreign
taxes
withheld”,
and
foreign
taxes
on
capital
gains
from
sales
of
investments
and
foreign
taxes
on
foreign
currency
transactions
are
included
in
their
respective
net
realized
gain
(loss)
categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
October
31,
2025
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

Consistent
with
U.S.
GAAP
accrual
requirements
for
uncertain
tax
positions,
each
Fund
recognizes
tax
reclaims
when
the
Fund
determines
that
it
is
more
likely
than
not
that
each
Fund
will
sustain
its
position
that
it
is
due
the
reclaim. 
The
Funds
file
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Funds
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction’s
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The
Statements
of
Operations
include
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes. 
Cash:
The
Funds
may
maintain
cash
at
their
custodian
which,
at
times
may
exceed
United
States
federally
insured
limits.
The
Funds
may,
at
times,
have
outstanding
cash
disbursements
that
exceed
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Funds
are
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the Statements
of
Operations.
Collateralization:
If
required
by
an
exchange
or
counterparty
agreement,
the
Funds
may
be
required
to
deliver/deposit
cash
and/or
securities
to/with
an
exchange,
or
broker-
dealer
or
custodian
as
collateral
for
certain
investments.  
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.   
Offering
Costs:
Offering
costs
are
amortized
over
a
12-month
period
beginning
with
the
commencement
of
operations
of
a
class
of
shares.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
a
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
A
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
a
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to
a
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
that
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Funds
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Funds
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
their
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods. 
Segment
Reporting:
The
Chief
Financial
Officer
acts
as
the
Funds'
Chief
Operating
Decision
Maker
(“CODM”)
and
is
responsible
for
assessing
performance
and
allocating
resources
with
respect
to
each
Fund.
The
CODM
has
concluded
that
each
Fund
operates
as
a
single
operating
segment
since
each
Fund has
a
single
investment
strategy
as
disclosed
in
its
prospectus,
against
which
the
CODM
assesses
performance.
The
financial
information
provided
to
and
reviewed
by
the
CODM
is

3.
INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 Each
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund
is
open
for
business
and,
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
as
of
the
report
date.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
a
fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Board
has
approved
the
designation
of
each
Fund’s
Manager
as
the
valuation
designee
for
each
Fund.
Each
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of
its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
the
Manager’s
policies.
If
a
security’s
market
price
is
not
readily
available
or
does
not
otherwise
accurately
represent
the
fair
value
of
the
security,
the
security
will
be
valued
in
accordance
with
the
Manager’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value.
The
Manager
has
formed
a
committee
(the
“Valuation
Committee”)
to
develop
pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments,
with
assistance
from
other
BlackRock
pricing
committees.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
each
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities:
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
securities
exchange
are
valued
at
that
day’s official
closing
price,
as
applicable,
on
the
exchange
where
the
stock
is
primarily
traded.
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
trade
or
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
Futures
contracts
are valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
or
trade price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded.
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
ask
prices
and
are
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE
based
on
that
day’s
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate
for
the
underlying
currencies.
Interest
rate,
credit
default,
inflation
and
currency
swap
agreements
are
valued
utilizing
quotes
received
daily
by
independent pricing
services
or
through
brokers,
which
are
derived
using
daily
swap
curves
and
models
that
incorporate
market
data
and discounted
cash
flows.
Total
return
and
equity swap
agreements
are
valued
utilizing
quotes
received
daily
by
independent
pricing
services
or
through
brokers,
which
are
derived
using
models
that
incorporate
market
trades
and
fair
value
of
the
underlying
reference
instruments. 
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE.
Each
business
day,
the
Funds
use
current
market
factors
supplied
by
independent
pricing
services
to
value
certain
foreign
instruments
(“Systematic
Fair
Value
Price”).
The
Systematic
Fair
Value
Price
is
designed
to
value
such
foreign
securities
at
fair
value
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE,
which occurs
after
the
close
of
the
local
markets.
If
events
(e.g.,
market
volatility,
company
announcement or
a
natural
disaster)
occur
that
are
expected
to
materially
affect
the
value
of
such
investment,
or
in
the
event
that application
of
these
methods
of
valuation
results
in
a
price
for
an
investment
that
is
deemed
not
to
be
representative
of
the
market
value
of
such
investment,
or
if
a
price
is
not
available,
the
investment
will
be
valued
by
the
Valuation
Committee
in
accordance
with
the
Manager’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee include
market
approach,
income
approach
and
cost
approach.

techniques
such
as
discounted
cash
flow,
use
of
market
comparables
and
matrix
pricing
are
types
of
valuation
approaches
and
are
typically
used
in
determining
fair
value.
When
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the
Valuation
Committee
seeks
to
determine
the
price
that
each
Fund
might
reasonably
expect
to
receive
or
pay
from
the
current
sale
or
purchase
of
that
asset
or
liability
in
an
arm’s-length
transaction.
Fair
value
determinations
shall
be
based
upon
all
available
factors
that
the
Valuation
Committee
deems
relevant
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement
as
of
the
measurement
date.
For
investments
in
equity
or
debt
issued
by
privately
held
companies
or
funds
(“Private
Company”
or
collectively,
the
“Private
Companies”)
and
other
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the
fair
valuation
approaches
that
are
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee
and
third-party
pricing
services
utilized
by
the
Valuation
Committee
include one
or
a
combination
of,
but
not
limited
to,
the
following
inputs:
(i)
recent
market
transactions,
including
secondary
market
transactions,
merger
or
acquisition
activity
and
subsequent
rounds
of
financing
in
the
underlying investment
or
comparable
issuers
(ii)
recapitalizations
and
other
transactions
across
the
capital
structure
(iii)
market
or
relevant
indices
multiples
of
comparable
issuers
(iv)
future
cash
flows
discounted
to
present
and
adjusted
as
appropriate
for
liquidity,
credit,
and/or
market
risks
(v)
quoted
prices
for
similar
investments
or
assets
in
active
markets
(vi)
other
risk
factors,
such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks,
recovery
rates,
liquidation
amounts
and/
or default
rates
(vii) audited
or
unaudited
financial
statements,
investor
communications
and
Private
Company
financial
or
operational
metrics
(viii) relevant
market
news
and
other
public
sources.
Investments
in
series
of
preferred
stock
issued
by
Private
Companies
are
typically
valued
utilizing
a
market
approach to
determine the
enterprise
value
of
the
company.
Such
investments
often
contain
rights
and
preferences
that
differ
from
other
series
of
preferred
and
common
stock
of
the
same
issuer.
Enterprise
valuation
techniques
such
as
an
option
pricing
model
(“OPM”),
a
probability
weighted
expected
return
model
(“PWERM”),
current
value
method or
a
hybrid
of
those
techniques
are
used
as
deemed
appropriate
under
the
circumstances.
The
use
of these
valuation techniques
involves
a
determination
of
the
exit
scenarios
of
the
investment
in
order
to
appropriately
allocate
the
enterprise
value
of
the
company
among
the
various
parts
of
its
capital
structure. 
Private
Companies
are
not
subject
to
public
company
disclosure,
timing,
and
reporting
standards
applicable
to other
investments
held
by
a
Fund. Certain
information
made
available
by
a
Private
Company
is
as
of
a
date
that
is
earlier
than
the
date
a
Fund
is
calculating
its
NAV.
This
factor
may
result
in
a
difference
between
the
value
of
the
investment
and
the
price
a
Fund
could
receive
upon
the
sale
of
the
investment. 
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
at
the
measurement
date.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial reporting purposes
as
follows: 
Level
1
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
that
each
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities;
Level
2
Inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
included
within
Level
1
that
are
observable
for
the
asset
or
liability,
either
directly
or
indirectly;
and
Level
3 —
Inputs
that
are
unobservable
and
significant
to
the
entire
fair
value
measurement
for the
asset
or
liability
(including
the
Valuation
Committee’s
assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments).
The
hierarchy
gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level
3
measurements).
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
fair
value
hierarchy
classification
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety. Investments
classified
within
Level
3
have
significant
unobservable
inputs
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
Private
Companies
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.

SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Securities
Lending:
 The
Funds
may
lend
their
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Funds
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
each
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to
the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral returned
by
the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Funds
are
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
do
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.

Collateral
received,
if
any,
in
excess
of
the
market
value
of
securities
on
loan
is
not
presented
in
this
table.
The
total
cash
collateral
received
by
each
Fund
is
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent,
BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Funds’
Schedules
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Funds
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Funds,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and the
Funds
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks, each
Fund benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
Each
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
the loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received.
Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by each
Fund.

Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Funds
engage
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Funds
and/or
to
manage
their
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange
or
over-the-counter
(“OTC”).
Futures
Contracts:
Futures
contracts
are
purchased
or
sold
to
gain
exposure
to,
or
manage
exposure
to,
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
and
changes
in
the
value
of
equity
securities
(equity
risk)
or
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk)
.
Futures
contracts
are
exchange-traded agreements
between
the
Funds
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
specific
quantity
of
an
underlying
instrument
at
a
specified
price
and
on
a
specified
date.
Depending
on
the
terms
of
a
contract,
it
is
settled
either
through
physical
delivery
of
the
underlying
instrument
on
the
settlement
date
or
by
payment
of
a
cash
amount
on
the
settlement
date.
Upon
entering
into
a
futures
contract,
the
Funds
are
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
a
contract’s
size
and
risk
profile.
The
initial
margin
deposit
must
then
be
maintained
at
an
established
level
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Funds
agree
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
an
amount
of
cash
equal
to
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
of
the
contract
(“variation
margin”).
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and,
if
any,
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
contract
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
notional
amount
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
The
use
of
futures
contracts
involves
the
risk
of
an
imperfect
correlation
in
the
movements
in
the
price
of
futures
contracts
and
interest
rates,
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
or
underlying
assets.

A
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
two
parties
to
buy
and
sell
a
currency
at
a
set
exchange
rate
on
a
specified
date.
These
contracts
help
to
manage
the
overall
exposure
to
the
currencies
in
which
some
of
the
investments
held
by
the
Funds
are
denominated
and
in
some
cases,
may
be
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
particular
market.
The
contracts
are
traded
OTC
and
not
on
an
organized
exchange.
The
contract
is
marked-to-market
daily
and
the
change
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
Non-deliverable
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
settled
with
the
counterparty
in
cash
without
the
delivery
of
foreign
currency.
The
use
of
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
involves
the
risk
that
the
value
of
a
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
changes
unfavorably
due
to
movements
in
the
value
of
the
referenced
foreign
currencies,
and
such
value
may
exceed
the
amount(s)
reflected
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Cash
amounts
pledged
for
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
considered
restricted
and
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
OTC
derivatives
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. The
Fund’s
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives
is
generally
limited
to
the
aggregate
unrealized
gain
netted
against
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund.
Swaps:
Swap
contracts
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
issuers,
markets
and
securities.
Such
contracts
are
agreements
between
the
Funds
and
a
counterparty
to
make
periodic
net
payments
on
a
specified
notional
amount
or
a
net
payment
upon
termination.
Swap
agreements
are
privately
negotiated
in
the
OTC
market
and
may
be
entered
into
as
a
bilateral
contract
(“OTC
swaps”)
or
centrally
cleared
(“centrally
cleared
swaps”).
For
OTC
swaps,
any
upfront
premiums
paid
and
any
upfront
fees
received
are
shown
as
swap
premiums
paid
and
swap
premiums
received,
respectively,
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
OTC
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
proceeds
from
(or
cost
of)
the
closing
transaction
and
the
Funds’
basis
in
the
contract,
if
any.
Generally,
the
basis
of
the
contract
is
the
premium
received
or
paid.
In
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
immediately
following
execution
of
the
swap
contract,
the
swap
contract
is
novated
to
a
central
counterparty
(the
“CCP”)
and
the
CCP
becomes
the Funds’
counterparty
on
the
swap. Each
Fund is
required
to
interface
with
the
CCP
through
the
broker.
Upon
entering
into
a
centrally
cleared
swap, each
Fund is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
the
size
and
risk
profile
of
the
particular
swap.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
 Schedules
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract, each
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
variation
margin.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
from
(paid
to)
the
counterparty
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
and recorded
as
realized
gains
(losses)
in
the
Statements
of
Operations,
including
those
at
termination.
Equity
swaps
Equity
swaps
are
entered
into
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security
or
market
without
owning
such
security
or
investing
directly
in
such
market
or
to
exchange
the
risk/return
of
one
security
or
market
(e.g.,
fixed-income)
with
another
security
or
market
(e.g.,
equity
or
commodity
prices)
(equity
risk,
commodity
price
risk
and/or
interest
rate
risk).
Equity
swaps
are
designed
to
function
as
direct
economic
investments
in
long
or
short
equity
positions.
This
means
that
a
fund
will
receive
the
economic
benefits
and
risks
equivalent
to
direct
investment
in
these
positions,
subject
to
certain
adjustments
due
to
events
related
to
the
counterparty.
Benefits
and
risks
include
capital
appreciation
(depreciation),
corporate
actions
and
dividends
received
and
paid.
Equity
swaps
incur
interest
charges
and
credits
(“financing
fees”)
related
to
the
notional
value
of
the
position.
These
interest
charges
and
credits
are
based
on
a
specified
benchmark
rate
plus
or
minus
a
specified
spread.
Swap
transactions
involve,
to
varying
degrees,
elements
of
interest
rate,
credit
and
market
risks
in
excess
of
the
amounts
recognized
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Such
risks
involve
the
possibility
that
there
will
be
no
liquid
market
for
these
agreements,
that
the
counterparty
to
the
agreements
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
perform
or
disagree
as
to
the
meaning
of
the
contractual
terms
in
the
agreements,
and
that
there
may
be
unfavorable
changes
in
interest
rates
and/or
market
values
associated
with
these
transactions.
Master
Netting
Arrangements:
In
order
to
define
its
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
it mitigate its
counterparty
risk, a
Fund
may
enter
into
an
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
Master
Agreement
(“ISDA
Master
Agreement”)
or
similar
agreement
with
its
derivative
contract
counterparties.
An
ISDA
Master
Agreement
is
a
bilateral
agreement
between a
Fund
and
a
counterparty
that
governs
certain
OTC
derivatives
and
typically
contains,
among
other
things,
collateral
posting
terms
and
netting
provisions
in
the
event
of
a
default
and/or
termination
event.
Under
an
ISDA
Master
Agreement, a
Fund
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
offset
with
the
counterparty
certain
derivative
financial
instruments’
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
and/or
posted
and
create
one
single
net
payment.
The
provisions
of
the
ISDA
Master
Agreement
typically
permit
a
single
net
payment
in
the
event
of
default
including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
counterparty.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
the
right
of
offset
in
bankruptcy,
insolvency
or
other
events.
Collateral
Requirements:
For
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
the
collateral
requirements
are
typically
calculated
by
netting
the
mark-to-market
amount
for
each
transaction
under
such
agreement
and
comparing
that
amount
to
the
value
of
any
collateral
currently
pledged
by
the
Fund(s)
and
the
counterparty.
Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
obligations
of
the
Funds
and
cash
collateral
received
from
the
counterparty,
if
any,
is
reported
separately
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
and
cash
received
as
collateral,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
the
Funds,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
Generally,
the
amount
of
collateral
due
from
or
to
a
counterparty
is
subject
to
a
certain
minimum
transfer
amount
threshold
before
a
transfer
is
required,
which
is
determined
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
Funds.
Any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to/pledged
by
the
Funds
on
the
next
business
day.
Typically,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
cash
and
non-cash
collateral
it
receives.
A
Fund
generally
agrees
not
to
use
non-cash
collateral
that
it
receives
but
may,
absent
default
or
certain
other
circumstances
defined
in
the
underlying
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
be
permitted
to
use
cash
collateral
received.
In
such
cases,
interest
may
be
paid
pursuant
to
the
collateral
arrangement
with
the
counterparty.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
the
Funds
from the
counterparties
are
not
fully
collateralized, each
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Likewise,
to
the
extent
the
Funds have
delivered
collateral
to
a
counterparty
and
stand
ready
to
perform
under
the
terms
of
their
agreement
with
such
counterparty, each
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
a
counterparty
in
the
amount
of
the
value
of
the
collateral
in
the
event
the
counterparty
fails
to

return
such
collateral.
Based
on
the
terms
of
agreements,
collateral
may
not
be
required
for
all
derivative
contracts.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
Funds
do
not
offset
derivative
assets
and
derivative
liabilities
that
are
subject
to
netting
arrangements,
if
any,
in
the
Statements
of
Assets

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
Each
Fund
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Funds’
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
majority-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of
each
Fund.
For
such
services,
each
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
each
Fund’s
net
assets:
With
respect
to
Emerging
Markets,
the
Manager
entered
into
separate
sub-advisory
agreements
with
BlackRock
Asset
Management
North
Asia
Limited
(“BAMNA”)
and
with
respect
to
Emerging
Markets
and
Unconstrained
Equity,
the
Manager
entered
into
sub-advisory
agreements
with
BlackRock
International
Limited
(“BIL”),
each
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
The
Manager
pays
BAMNA
and
BIL
for
services
they
provide
for
that
portion
of
each
Fund
for
which
BAMNA
and
BIL,
as
applicable,
acts
as
Sub-Adviser,
a
monthly
fee
that
is
equal
to
a
percentage
of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
each
Fund
to
the
Manager.
Service
and
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Funds
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
Distribution
and
Service
Plans
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution
and
Service
Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act,
each
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
service
and
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
annual
rates
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
relevant
share
class
of
each
Fund
as
follows:
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
servicing
and
distribution
services
to
the
Funds.
The
ongoing
service
and/or
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
servicing
and/or
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six-months
ended
October
31,
2025,
the
following
table
shows
the
class
specific service
and
distribution fees
borne
directly
by
each
share
class
of
each
Fund:
Transfer
Agent:
Pursuant
to
written
agreements,
certain
financial
intermediaries,
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates,
provide
the
Funds
with
sub-accounting,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
other
administrative
services
with
respect
to
servicing
of
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
these
entities
receive
an
asset-based
fee
or
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets.
For
the 
six
months
 ended 
October
31,
2025
,
the
Funds 
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
The
Manager
maintains
a
call
center
that
is
responsible
for
providing
certain
shareholder

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits
BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Funds,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Funds
are
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Funds
bear
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
on
all
redemptions.
Discretionary
liquidity
fees
may
be
imposed
or
terminated
at
any
time
at
the
discretion
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
money
market
fund,
or
its
delegate,
if
it
is
determined
that
such
fee
would
be,
or
would
not
be,
respectively,
in
the
best
interest
of
the
money
market
fund.
Additionally,
the
money
market
fund
will
impose
a
mandatory
liquidity
fee
if
the
money
market
fund's
total
net
redemptions
on
a
single
day
exceed
5%
of
the
money
market
fund's
net
assets,
unless
the
amount
of
the
fee
is
less
than
0.01%
of
the
value
of
the
shares
redeemed.
The
money
market
fund
will
determine
the
size
of
the
mandatory
liquidity
fee
by
making
a
good
faith
estimate
of
certain
costs
the
money
market
fund
would
incur
if
it
were
to
sell
a
pro
rata
amount
of
each
security
in
the
portfolio
to
satisfy
the
amount
of
net
redemptions
on
that
day.
There
is
no
limit
to
the
size
of
a
mandatory
liquidity
fee.
If
the
money
market
fund
cannot
estimate
the
costs
of
selling
a
pro
rata
amount
of
each
portfolio
security
in
good
faith
and
supported
by
data,
it
is
required
to
apply
a
default
liquidity
fee
of
1%
on
the
value
of
shares
redeemed
on
that
day.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
Each
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.

INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
each
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required. 
Each Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
each
Fund’s
U.S.
federal
tax
returns
generally
remains
open
for
a
period
of
three
years
after
they
are
filed.
The
statutes
of
limitations
on
each
Fund’s
state
and
local
tax
returns
may
remain
open
for
an
additional
year
depending
upon
the
jurisdiction. 
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the Funds
as
of
October
31,
2025,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Funds’ financial
statements.
Management’s
analysis
is
based
on
the
tax
laws
and
judicial
and
administrative
interpretations
thereof
in
effect
as
of
the
date
of
these
financial
statements,
all
of
which
are
subject
to
change,
possibly
with
retroactive
effect,
which
may
impact
the
Funds’
NAV.
As
of
April
30,
2025, the
Funds
had
non-expiring
capital

qualified
late-year

follows: 
As

2025, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and

if
any)
for

 PRINCIPAL
RISKS 
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
each
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
each
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
among
others,
fluctuations
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
an
issuer
to
meet
all
of
its
obligations.
The
value
of
securities
or
other
instruments
may
also
be
affected
by
various
factors,
including,
without
limitation:
(i)
the
general
economy;
(ii)
the
overall
market
as
well
as
local,
regional
or
global
political
and/or
social
instability;
(iii)
regulation,
taxation,
tariffs or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
or
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Funds
and their
investments.
Each
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
each

The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
mandatory
and
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
Market
Risk:
Investments
in
the
securities
of
issuers
domiciled
in
countries
with
emerging
capital
markets
involve
certain
additional
risks
that
do
not
generally
apply
to
investments
in
securities
of
issuers
in
more
developed
capital
markets,
such
as
(i)
low
or
nonexistent
trading
volume,
resulting
in
a
lack
of
liquidity
and
increased
volatility
in
prices
for
such
securities;
(ii)
lack
of
reliable
settlement
procedures
and
significant
delays
in
registering
the
transfer
of
securities;
(iii) uncertain
national
policies
and
social,
political
and
economic
instability,
increasing
the
potential
for
expropriation
of
assets,
confiscatory
taxation,
high
rates
of
inflation
or
unfavorable
diplomatic
developments;
(iv)
lack
of
publicly
available
or
reliable
information
about
issuers
as
a
result
of
not
being
subject
to
the
same
degree
of
regulatory
requirements
and
accounting,
auditing
and
financial
reporting
standards;
and
(v)
possible
fluctuations
in
exchange
rates,
differing
legal
systems
and
the
existence
or
possible
imposition
of
exchange
controls,
custodial
restrictions
or
other
foreign
or
U.S.
governmental
laws
or
restrictions
applicable
to
such
investments.
Valuation
Risk:
The
market
values
of
equities,
such
as
common
stocks
and
preferred
securities
or
equity
related
investments,
such
as
futures
and
options,
may
decline
due
to
general
market
conditions
which
are
not
specifically
related
to
a
particular
company.
They
may
also
decline
due
to
factors
which
affect
a
particular
industry
or
industries. A
Fund
may
invest
in
illiquid
investments.
An
illiquid
investment
is
any
investment
that a
Fund
reasonably
expects
cannot
be
sold
or
disposed
of
in
current
market
conditions
in
seven
calendar
days
or
less
without
the
sale
or
disposition
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment. A
Fund
may
experience
difficulty
in
selling
illiquid
investments
in
a
timely
manner
at
the
price
that it
believes
the
investments
are
worth.
Prices
may
fluctuate
widely
over
short
or
extended
periods
in
response
to
company,
market
or
economic
news.
Markets
also
tend
to
move
in
cycles,
with
periods
of
rising
and
falling
prices.
This
volatility
may
cause
each
Fund’s
NAV
to
experience
significant
increases
or
decreases
over
short
periods
of
time.
If
there
is
a
general
decline
in
the
securities
and
other
markets,
the
NAV
of a
Fund
may
lose
value,
regardless
of
the
individual
results
of
the
securities
and
other
instruments
in
which a
Fund
invests.
A
Fund’s
ability
to
value
its
investments
may
also
be
impacted
by
technological
issues
and/
or
errors
by
pricing
services
or
other
third-party
service
providers.
The
price a
Fund
could
receive
upon
the
sale
of
any
particular
portfolio
investment
may
differ
from a
Fund’s
valuation
of
the
investment,
particularly
for
securities
that
trade
in
thin
or
volatile
markets
or
that
are
valued
using
a
fair
valuation
technique
or
a
price
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service.
Changes
to
significant
unobservable
inputs
and
assumptions
(i.e.,
publicly
traded
company
multiples,
growth
rate,
time
to
exit)
due
to
the
lack
of
observable
inputs
may
significantly
impact
the
resulting
fair
value
and
therefore a
Fund’s
results
of
operations.
As
a
result,
the
price
received
upon
the
sale
of
an
investment
may
be
less
than
the
value
ascribed
by a
Fund,
and a
Fund
could
realize
a
greater
than
expected
loss
or
lesser
than
expected
gain
upon
the
sale
of
the
investment.
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
or
the
risk
that
an
entity
may
fail
to
or
be
unable
to
perform
on
its
commitments
related
to
unsettled
or
open
transactions,
including
making
timely
interest
and/or
principal
payments
or
otherwise
honoring
its
obligations.
The
Funds
manage
counterparty
credit
risk
by
entering
into
transactions
only
with
counterparties
that
the
Manager
believes
have
the
financial
resources
to
honor
their
obligations
and
by
monitoring
the
financial
stability
of
those
counterparties.
Financial
assets,
which
potentially
expose
the
Funds
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks,
consist
principally
of
financial
instruments
and
receivables
due
from
counterparties.
The
extent
of
the
Funds’
exposure
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks
with
respect
to
these
financial
assets
is
approximately
their
value
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Funds. 
A
derivative
contract
may
suffer
a
mark-to-market
loss
if
the
value
of
the
contract
decreases
due
to
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
market
rates
or
values
of
the
underlying
instrument.
Losses
can
also
occur
if
the
counterparty
does
not
perform
under
the
contract.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
there
is
less
counterparty
credit
risk
to
the
Funds
since
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse,
as
counterparty
to
such
instruments,
guarantees
against
a
possible
default.
The
clearinghouse
stands
between
the
buyer
and
the
seller
of
the
contract;
therefore,
credit
risk
is
limited
to
failure
of
the
clearinghouse.
While
offset
rights
may
exist
under
applicable
law, a
Fund
does
not
have
a
contractual
right
of
offset
against
a
clearing
broker
or
clearinghouse
in
the
event
of
a
default
(including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency).
Additionally,
credit
risk
exists
in exchange-traded
futures
with
respect
to
initial
and
variation
margin
that
is
held
in
a
clearing
broker’s
customer
accounts.
While
clearing
brokers
are
required
to
segregate
customer
margin
from
their
own
assets,
in
the
event
that
a
clearing
broker
becomes
insolvent
or
goes
into
bankruptcy
and
at
that
time
there
is
a
shortfall
in
the
aggregate
amount
of
margin
held
by
the
clearing
broker
for
all
its
clients,
typically
the
shortfall
would
be
allocated
on
a
pro
rata
basis
across
all
the
clearing
broker’s
customers,
potentially
resulting
in
losses
to
the
Funds. 
Geographic/Asset
Class
Risk:
 A
diversified
portfolio,
where
this
is appropriate
and
consistent
with
a
fund’s
objectives,
minimizes
the
risk
that
a
price
change
of
a
particular
investment
will
have
a
material
impact
on
the
NAV
of
a
fund.
The
investment
concentrations
within
each Fund’s
portfolio
are
disclosed
in
its Schedule
of
Investments.
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
The
Funds invest
a
substantial
amount
of
their
assets
in
issuers
located
in
a
single
country
or
a
limited
number
of
countries.
When a
fund
concentrates its investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
in
those
countries
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
their
investment
performance
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund's
portfolio.
Unanticipated
or
sudden
political
or
social
developments
may
cause
uncertainty
in
the
markets
and
as
a
result
adversely
affect
the
Fund’s
investments.
Foreign
issuers
may
not
be
subject
to
the
same
uniform
accounting,
auditing
and
financial
reporting
standards
and
practices
as
used
in
the
United
States.
Foreign
securities
markets
may
also
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
U.S.
securities
and
may
be
less
subject
to
governmental
supervision
not
typically
associated
with
investing
in
U.S.
securities.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
countries
are
presented
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments. 
Certain
Funds invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
the
United
States.
A
decrease
in
imports
or
exports,
changes
in
trade
regulations,
inflation
and/or
an
economic
recession
in
the
United
States
may
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
securities
listed
on
U.S.
exchanges.
Proposed
and
adopted
policy
and
legislative
changes
in
the
United
States
may
also
have
a
significant
effect
on
U.S.
markets
generally,
as
well
as
on
the
value
of
certain
securities.
Governmental
agencies
project
that
the
United
States
will
continue
to
maintain
elevated
public
debt
levels
for
the
foreseeable
future
which
may
constrain
future
economic
growth.
Circumstances
could
arise
that
could
prevent
the
timely
payment
of
interest
or
principal
on
U.S.
government
debt,
such
as
reaching
the
legislative
“debt
ceiling.”
Such
non-payment
would
result
in
substantial
negative
consequences
for
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
global
financial
system.
If
U.S.
relations
with
certain
countries
deteriorate,
it

could
adversely
affect
issuers
that
rely
on
the
United
States
for
trade.
The
United
States
has
also
experienced
increased
internal
unrest
and
discord.
If
these
trends
were
to
continue,
they
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
issuers
in
which
the
Funds
invest. 
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
Asia
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Asian
issuers
or
countries.
Certain
Asian
countries
have
developed
increasingly
strained
relationships
with
the
U.S.
or
China;
if
these
relations
were
to
worsen,
they
could
adversely
affect
Asian
issuers
that
rely
on
the
U.S.
or
China
for
trade
and
the
region
as
a
whole.
The
Asian
financial
markets
have
experienced
volatility
and
adverse
trends
due
to
concerns
in
several
Asian
countries
regarding
monetary
policy,
government
intervention
in
the
markets,
rising
government
debt
levels
or
economic
downturns.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Asia
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Funds’
investments. 
Certain Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
China
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Chinese
issuers. Investments
in
Chinese
securities,
including
certain
Hong
Kong-listed
securities,
involve
risks
specific
to
China.
China
may
be
subject
to
considerable
degrees
of
economic,
political
and
social
instability
and
demonstrates
significantly
higher
volatility
from
time
to
time
in
comparison
to
developed
markets.
Chinese
markets
generally
continue
to
experience
inefficiency,
volatility
and
pricing
anomalies
resulting
from
governmental
influence,
a
lack
of
publicly
available
information
and/or
political
and
social
instability.
Internal
social
unrest
or
confrontations
with
other
neighboring
countries
may
disrupt
economic
development
in
China
and
result
in
a
greater
risk
of
currency
fluctuations,
currency
non-convertibility,
interest
rate
fluctuations
and
higher
rates
of
inflation.
Incidents
involving
China’s
or
the
region’s
security
may
cause
uncertainty
in
Chinese
markets
and
may
adversely
affect
the
Chinese
economy
and
the
Fund’s
investments.
Reduction
in
spending
on
Chinese
products
and
services,
supply
chain
diversification,
institution
of
tariffs,
sanctions
or
other
trade
barriers,
or
a
downturn
in
any
of
the
economies
of
China’s
key
trading
partners
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
Chinese
economy. In
addition,
measures
may
be
taken
to
limit
the
flow
of
capital
and/or
sanctions
may
be
imposed,
which
could
prohibit
or
restrict
the
ability
to
own
or
transfer
fund
assets
and
may
also
include
retaliatory
actions,
such
as
seizure
of
fund
assets.
Significant
Shareholder
Redemption
Risk:
Certain
shareholders
may
own
or
manage
a
substantial
amount
of
fund
shares
and/or
hold
their
fund
investments
for
a
limited
period
of
time.
Large
redemptions
of
fund
shares
by
these
shareholders
may
force
a
fund
to
sell
portfolio
securities,
which
may
negatively
impact
the
fund’s
NAV,
increase
the
fund’s
brokerage
costs,
and/or
accelerate
the
realization
of
taxable
income/gains
and
cause
the
fund
to
make
additional
taxable
distributions
to
shareholders.

The
Approval
Process
Consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”),
each
Board
considers
the
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
pertinent
Agreement
for
each
Fund
on
an
annual
basis.
The
Board
Members
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
pertinent
Fund
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
are
considered
independent
Board
Members
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”).
Each
Board’s
consideration
entailed
a
year-long
deliberative
process
during
which
the
Board
and
its
committees
assessed
BlackRock’s
various
services
to
each
Fund,
including
through
the
review
of
written
materials
and
oral
presentations,
and
the
review
of
additional
information
provided
in
response
to
requests
from
the
Independent
Board
Members.
Each
Board
had
four
quarterly
meetings
per
year,
as
well
as
numerous
ad
hoc
meetings
and
executive
sessions
throughout
the
year,
as
needed.
The
committees
of
each
Board
similarly
met
throughout
the
year.
Each
Board
also
held
the
April
Meeting
to
consider
specific
information
regarding
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
In
considering
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
assessed,
among
other
things,
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
each
Fund
by
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
personnel
and
affiliates,
including
(as
applicable):
investment
management
services;
accounting
oversight;
administrative
and
shareholder
services;
oversight
of
each
Fund’s
service
providers;
risk
management
and
oversight;
and
legal,
regulatory
and
compliance
services.
Throughout
the
year,
including
during
the
contract
renewal
process,
the
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel,
and
met
with
independent
legal
counsel
in
various
executive
sessions
outside
of
the
presence
of
BlackRock’s
management.
During
the
year,
each
Board,
acting
directly
and
through
its
committees,
considered
information
that
was
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
including
the
services
and
support
provided
by
BlackRock
to
each
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
BlackRock
also
furnished
additional
information
to
each
Board
in
response
to
specific
questions
from
the
Board.
Among
the
matters
each
Board

in
preparation
for

each
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
The

independent
legal
counsel

to
review
the
nature

provided

Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreements
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
At
the
April
Meeting,
each
Board
reviewed
materials
relating
to
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements
and
the
Independent
Board
Members
presented
BlackRock
with
questions
and
requests
for
additional
information.
BlackRock
responded
to
these
questions
and
requests
with
additional
written
information
in
advance
of
the
May
Meeting,
and
such
responses
were
reviewed
by
the
Board
Members.
At
the
May
Meeting,
each
Board
concluded
its
assessment
of,
among
other
things:
(a)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
BlackRock;
(b)
the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
to
other
metrics,
as
applicable;
(c)
the
advisory
fee
and
the
estimated
cost
of
the
services
and
estimated
profits
realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationship
with
the
Funds;
(d)
each
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
compared
to
its
Expense
Peers;
(e)
the
existence
and
sharing
of
potential
economies
of
scale;
(f)
any
fall-out
benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
as
a
result
of
BlackRock’s
relationship
with
the
Funds;
and
(g)
other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Board
Members.
Each
Board
also
considered
other
matters
it
deemed
important
to
the
approval
process,
such
as
other
payments
made
to
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
relating
to
securities
lending
and
cash
management,
and
BlackRock’s
services
related
to
the
valuation
and
pricing
of
the
portfolio
holdings
of
the
pertinent
Fund.
Each
Board
noted
the
willingness
of
BlackRock’s
personnel
to
engage
in
open,
candid
discussions
with
the
Board.
The
Board
evaluated
the
information
available
to
it
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis.
The
following
paragraphs
provide
more
information
about
some
of
the
primary
factors
that
were
relevant
to
each
Board’s
decision.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information,
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
items
and
factors
considered.
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
the
Services
Provided
by
BlackRock
Each
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
BlackRock,
including
the
investment
advisory
services,
and
the
resulting
performance
of
each
Fund.
Throughout
the
year,
each
Board
compared
each
Fund’s
performance
to
the
performance
of
a
comparable
group
of
mutual
funds,
relevant
benchmarks,
and
performance
metrics,
as
applicable.
The
Boards
met
with
BlackRock’s
senior
management
personnel
responsible
for
investment
activities,
including
the
senior
investment
officers.
Each
Board
also
reviewed
the
materials
provided
by
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
discussing
the
Fund’s
performance,
investment
strategies
and
outlook.
Each
Board
considered,
among
other
factors,
with
respect
to
BlackRock:
the
experience
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team;
research
capabilities;
investments
by
portfolio
managers
in
the
funds
they
manage;
portfolio
trading
capabilities;
use
of
certain
trading,
portfolio
management,
operations
and/or
information
systems
owned
by
BlackRock;
commitment
to
compliance;
credit
analysis
capabilities;
risk
analysis
and
oversight
capabilities;
and
the
approach
to
training
and
retaining
portfolio
managers
and
other
research,
advisory
and
management
personnel.
Each
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
risk
management
program,
including
the
continued
efforts
of
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
address
cybersecurity
risks
and
the
role
of
BlackRock’s
Risk
&
Quantitative
Analysis
Group.
Each
Board
engaged
in
a
review
of
BlackRock’s
compensation
structure
with
respect
to
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
talent
and
create
performance
incentives.
In
addition
to
investment
advisory
services,
each
Board
considered
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
administrative
and
other
non-investment
advisory
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Funds
with
certain
administrative,
shareholder
and
other
services
(in
addition
to
any
such
services
provided
to
the
Funds
by
third
parties)
and
officers
and
other
personnel
as
are
necessary
for
the
operations
of
the
Funds.
In
particular,
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Funds
with
administrative
services
including,
among
others:
(i)
responsibility
for
disclosure
documents,
such
as
the
prospectus,
the
summary
prospectus
(as
applicable),
the
statement
of
additional
information
and
periodic
shareholder
reports;
(ii)
oversight
of
daily
accounting
and
pricing;
(iii)
responsibility
for
periodic
filings
with
regulators;
(iv)
overseeing
and
coordinating
the
activities
of
third-party
service
providers,
including,
among
others,
each
Fund’s
custodian,
fund
accountant,
transfer
agent,
and
auditor;
(v)
organizing
Board
meetings
and
preparing
the
materials
for
such
Board
meetings;
(vi)
providing
legal
and
compliance
support;
(vii)
furnishing
analytical
and
other
support
to
assist
the
Board
in
its
consideration
of
strategic
issues
such
as
the
merger,
consolidation
or
repurposing
of
certain
open-end
funds;
and
(viii)
performing
or
managing
administrative
functions
necessary
for
the
operation
of
the
Funds,
such
as
tax
reporting,
expense
management,
fulfilling
regulatory
filing
requirements,
overseeing
each
Fund’s
distribution
partners,
and
shareholder
call
center
and
other
services.
The
Board
reviewed
the
structure
and
duties
of
BlackRock’s
fund
administration,
shareholder
services,
and
legal
and
compliance
departments
and
considered
BlackRock’s
policies
and
procedures
for
assuring
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
regulations.
The
Board
also
considered
the
operation
of
BlackRock’s
business
continuity
plans.
The
Board
noted
that
the
engagement
of
the
Sub-Advisors
with
respect
to
the
Funds,
as
applicable,
facilitates
the
provision
of
investment
advice
and
trading
by
investment
personnel
out
of
non-U.S.
jurisdictions.
The
Board
considered
that
this
arrangement
provides
additional
flexibility
to
the
portfolio
management
team,
which
may
benefit
the
pertinent
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
B.
The
Investment
Performance
of
the
Funds
Each
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
history
of
each
Fund
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
April
Meeting.
The
Board
was
provided
with
Fund
performance
reporting
and
analysis,
relative
to
applicable
performance
metrics,
by
BlackRock
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
April
meeting.
In
preparation
for
the
April
Meeting,
each
Board
was
also
provided
with
reports
independently
prepared
by
Broadridge,
which
included
an
analysis
of
each
Fund’s
performance
as
of
December
31,
2024,
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Broadridge
ranks
funds
in
quartiles,
ranging
from
first
to
fourth,
where
first
is
the
most
desirable
quartile
position
and
fourth
is
the
least
desirable.
In
connection
with
its
review,
each
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Each
Board
and
its
Performance
Oversight
Committee
regularly
review
and
meet
with
Fund
management
to
discuss
the
performance
of
each
Fund
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
noted
that
while
it
found
the
data
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
the
limitations
of
such
data,
including
in
particular,
that
notable
differences
may
exist
between
a
fund
and
its
Performance
Peers
(for
example,
the
investment
objectives
and
strategies).
Further,
each
Board
recognized
that
the
performance
data
reflects
a
snapshot
of
a
period
as
of
a
particular
date
and
that
selecting
a
different
performance
period
could
produce
significantly
different
results.
Each
Board
also
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance,
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
have
the
ability
to
disproportionately
affect
long-term
performance.

BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
and
Additional
Information
42
The
Board
of
Emerging
Markets
Fund
noted
that
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
reported,
Emerging
Markets
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth,
fourth
and
third
quartiles,
respectively,
against
its
Performance
Peers.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
reviewed
the
Fund’s
underperformance
relative
to
its
Performance
Peers
during
the
applicable
periods.
The
Board
was
informed
that,
among
other
things,
underperformance
was
driven
by
an
expectation
for
global
rates
to
decrease
and
increased
exposure
to
traditional
carry
countries
with
high
real
rates,
expecting
them
to
benefit
from
easing
global
financial
conditions.
However,
the
resilience
of
the
U.S.
economy
delayed
Federal
Reserve
rate
cuts,
causing
these
overweight
positions
to
drag
on
performance.
Brazil
was
also
particularly
problematic,
with
many
stock
picks
underperforming
the
market.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
discussed
BlackRock’s
strategy
for
improving
the
Fund’s
investment
performance.
Discussions
covered
topics
such
as
performance
attribution,
the
Fund’s
investment
personnel,
and
the
resources
appropriate
to
support
the
Fund’s
investment
processes.
The
Board
of
Unconstrained
Equity
Fund
noted
that
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
reported,
Unconstrained
Equity
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth,
first
and
second
quartiles,
respectively,
against
its
Performance
Peers.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
reviewed
the
Fund’s
underperformance
relative
to
its
Performance
Peers
during
the
applicable
period.
C.
Consideration
of
the
Advisory/Management
Fees
and
the
Estimated
Cost
of
the
Services
and
Estimated
Profits
Realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
Affiliates
from
their
Relationship
with
the
Funds
Each
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
each
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
compared
with
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
contractual
management
fee
rate
represents
a
combination
of
the
advisory
fee
and
any
administrative
fees,
before
taking
into
account
any
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers.
Each
Board
also
compared
each
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio,
as
well
as
its
actual
management
fee
rate,
to
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
total
expense
ratio
represents
a
fund’s
total
net
operating
expenses,
including
any
12b-1
or
non-12b-1
service
fees.
The
total
expense
ratio
gives
effect
to
any
expense
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers,
and
the
actual
management
fee
rate
gives
effect
to
any
management
fee
reimbursements
or
waivers.
The
Boards
considered
that
the
fee
and
expense
information
in
the
Broadridge
report
for
the
Fund
reflected
information
for
a
specific
period
and
that
historical
asset
levels
and
expenses
may
differ
from
current
levels,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
also
noted
that
while
it
found
the
expense
comparison
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
that
the
comparison
is
subject
to
Broadridge’s
defined
peer
selection
criteria
and
methodology.
The
Boards
considered
the
services
provided
and
the
fees
charged
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
other
types
of
clients
with
similar
investment
mandates,
as
applicable,
including
institutional
accounts
and
sub-advised
mutual
funds
(including
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
third
parties).
Each
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
profitability
methodology
and
was
also
provided
with
an
estimated
profitability
analysis
that
detailed
the
revenues
earned
and
the
expenses
incurred
by
BlackRock
for
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
Each
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
each
Fund
and
other
funds
the
Board
currently
oversees
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2024
compared
to
available
aggregate
estimated
profitability
data
provided
for
the
prior
two
years.
Each
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
certain
other
U.S.
fund
complexes
managed
by
the
Manager
and/or
its
affiliates.
Each
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
assumptions
and
methodology
of
allocating
expenses
in
the
estimated
profitability
analysis,
noting
the
inherent
limitations
in
allocating
costs
among
various
advisory
products.
Each
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
by
the
Manager,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
precision
of
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
Each
Board
thus
recognized
the
limitations
of
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
the
individual
fund
level.
Each
Board
received
and
reviewed
statements
relating
to
BlackRock’s
financial
condition.
Each
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
overall
operating
margin,
in
general,
compared
to
that
of
certain
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
Each
Board
considered
the
differences
between
BlackRock
and
these
other
firms,
including
the
contribution
of
BlackRock’s
technology
business,
BlackRock’s
expense
management,
and
the
relative
product
mix.
Each
Board
noted
that,
in
general,
individual
fund
or
product
line
profitability
of
other
advisors
is
not
publicly
available.
Each
Board
considered
whether
BlackRock
has
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality
investment
management
personnel
to
perform
its
obligations
under
the
Agreements
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
high
quality
of
services
that
is
expected
by
the
Board.
The
Boards
further
considered
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
BlackRock’s
commitment
of
time
and
resources,
assumption
of
risk,
and
liability
profile
in
servicing
the
Funds,
including
in
contrast
to
what
is
required
of
BlackRock
with
respect
to
other
products
with
similar
investment
mandates
across
the
open-end
fund,
ETF,
closed-end
fund,
sub-advised
mutual
fund,
separately
managed
account,
collective
investment
trust,
and
institutional
separate
account
product
channels,
as
applicable.
The
Board
of
Emerging
Markets
Fund
noted
that
Emerging
Market
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
each
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
of
Unconstrained
Equity
Fund
noted
that
Unconstrained
Equity
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
third
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
each
ranked
in
the
third
quartile
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
also
noted
that
each
Fund
has
an
advisory
fee
arrangement
that
includes
breakpoints
that
adjust
the
fee
rate
downward
as
the
size
of
the
Fund
increases
above
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
additionally
noted
that
the
breakpoints
can,
conversely,
adjust
the
advisory
fee
rate
upward
as
the
size
of
the
pertinent
Fund
decreases
below
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
further
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
each
Fund’s
total
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
D.
Economies
of
Scale
Each
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
the
extent
to
which
any
economies
of
scale
might
benefit
the
Funds
in
a
variety
of
ways
as
the
assets
of
the
Funds
increase.
The
Boards
considered
multiple
factors,
including
the
advisory
fee
rate
and
breakpoints,
unitary
fee
structure,
fee
waivers,
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable.
Each
Board
considered
each
Fund’s
asset
levels
and
whether
the
current
fee
schedule
was
appropriate.
E.
Other
Factors
Deemed
Relevant
by
the
Board
Members
Each
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
also
took
into
account
other
ancillary
or
“fall-out”
benefits
that
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
may
derive
from
BlackRock’s
respective
relationships
with
the
Funds,
both
tangible
and
intangible,
such
as
BlackRock’s
ability
to
leverage
its
investment
professionals
who
manage

portfolios
and
its
risk
management
personnel,
an
increase
in
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
advisory
community,
and
the
engagement
of
BlackRock’s
affiliates
as
service
providers
to
the
Funds,
including
for
administrative,
distribution,
securities
lending
and
cash
management
services.
With
respect
to
securities
lending,
during
the
year
the
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
independent
third-party
consultants
related
to
the
performance
of
each
BlackRock
affiliate
as
securities
lending
agent.
The
Boards
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
operations
and
its
efforts
to
expand
the
scale
of,
and
improve
the
quality
of,
its
operations.
The
Boards
also
noted
that,
subject
to
applicable
law,
BlackRock
may
use
and
benefit
from
third-party
research
obtained
by
soft
dollars
generated
by
certain
registered
fund
transactions
to
assist
in
managing
all
or
a
number
of
its
other
client
accounts.
In
connection
with
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements,
the
Boards
also
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
brokerage
and
soft
dollar
practices.
The
Boards
received
reports
from
BlackRock
which
included
information
on
brokerage
commissions
and
trade
execution
practices
throughout
the
year.
The
Boards
noted
the
competitive
nature
of
the
mutual
fund
marketplace,
and
that
shareholders
are
able
to
redeem
their
Fund
shares
if
they
believe
that
the
pertinent
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
are
too
high
or
if
they
are
dissatisfied
with
the
performance
of
