Dear
Shareholder,
The
combination
of
continued
economic
growth
and
cooling
inflation
provided
a
supportive
backdrop
for
investors
during
the
12-month
reporting
period
ended
December
31,
2023.
Significantly
tighter
monetary
policy
helped
to
rein
in
inflation,
and
the
Consumer
Price
Index
decelerated
substantially
in
the
first
half
of
the
year
before
stalling
between
3%
and
4%
in
the
second
half.
A
moderating
labor
market
helped
ease
inflationary
pressure,
although
wages
continued
to
grow.
Wage
and
job
growth
powered
robust
consumer
spending,
backstopping
the
economy.
On
October
7,
2023,
Hamas
launched
a
horrific
attack
on
Israel.
The
ensuing
war
will
have
a
significant
humanitarian
impact
and
could
lead
to
heightened
economic
and
market
volatility.
We
see
geopolitics
as
a
structural
market
risk
going
forward.
See
our
geopolitical
risk
dashboard
at
blackrock.com
for
more
details.
Equity
returns
were
robust
during
the
period,
as
interest
rates
stabilized
and
the
economy
proved
to
be
more
resilient
than
many
investors
expected.
The
U.S.
economy
continued
to
show
strength,
and
growth
further
accelerated
in
the
third
quarter
of
2023.
Large-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
posted
particularly
substantial
gains,
supported
by
the
performance
of
a
few
notable
technology
companies
and
small-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
also
advanced.
Meanwhile,
international
developed
market
equities
and
emerging
market
stocks
posted
solid
gains.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
ended
2023
where
it
began
despite
an
eventful
year
that
saw
significant
moves
in
bond
markets.
Overall,
U.S.
Treasuries
gained
as
investors
began
to
anticipate
looser
financial
conditions.
The
corporate
bond
market
benefited
from
improving
economic
sentiment,
although
high-yield
corporate
bond
prices
fared
significantly
better
than
investment-grade
bonds
as
demand
from
yield-seeking
investors
remained
strong.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
attempting
to
manage
persistent
inflation,
raised
interest
rates
four
times
during
the
12-month
period,
but
paused
its
tightening
in
the
second
half
of
the
period.
The
Fed
also
wound
down
its
bond-buying
programs
and
incrementally
reduced
its
balance
sheet
by
not
replacing
securities
that
reach
maturity.
Supply
constraints
appear
to
have
become
an
embedded
feature
of
the
new
macroeconomic
environment,
making
it
difficult
for
developed
economies
to
increase
production
without
sparking
higher
inflation.
Geopolitical
fragmentation
and
an
aging
population
risk
further
exacerbating
these
constraints,
keeping
the
labor
market
tight
and
wage
growth
high.
Although
the
Fed
has
stopped
tightening
for
now,
we
believe
that
the
new
economic
regime
means
that
the
Fed
will
need
to
maintain
high
rates
for
an
extended
period
despite
the
market’s
hopes
for
interest
rate
cuts,
as
reflected
in
the
recent
rally.
In
this
new
regime,
we
anticipate
greater
volatility
and
dispersion
of
returns,
creating
more
opportunities
for
selective
portfolio
management.
We
believe
developed
market
equities
have
priced
in
an
optimistic
scenario
for
rate
cuts,
which
we
view
as
premature,
so
we
prefer
an
underweight
stance
in
the
near
term.
Nevertheless,
we
are
overweight
on
Japanese
stocks
as
shareholder-friendly
policies
generate
increased
investor
interest.
We
also
believe
that
stocks
with
an
AI
tilt
should
benefit
from
an
investment
cycle
that
is
set
to
support
revenues
and
margins.
In
credit,
there
are
selective
opportunities
in
the
near
term
despite
tighter
credit
and
financial
conditions.
For
fixed
income
investing
with
a
six-
to
twelve-month
horizon,
we
see
the
most
attractive
investments
in
short-term
U.S.
Treasuries,
U.S.
mortgage-backed
securities,
and
hard-currency
emerging
market
bonds.
Overall,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
position
themselves
to
be
prepared
for
a
decarbonizing
economy,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.
We
encourage
you
to
talk
with
your
financial
advisor
and
visit
blackrock.com
for
further
insight
about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2023,
the
Fund
underperformed
its
custom
benchmark,
a
blend
of
50%
MSCI
World
Index/50%
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index.
The
Fund
invests
substantially
all
of
its
assets
in
the
BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Income
Portfolio
(the
“Portfolio”).
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
following
discussion
relates
to
absolute
performance
due
to
the
nature
of
the
Portfolio’s
approach.
The
Portfolio
employs
an
unconstrained
strategy
(i.e.
one
with
flexibility
to
invest
across
all
asset
classes)
that
is
managed
within
a
risk-controlled
framework
and
seeks
to
maintain
a
competitive
yield
with
a
risk
profile
less
than
or
equal
to
the
50/50
custom
benchmark.
The
Portfolio
may
use
derivatives
to
manage
positioning
or
provide
an
element
of
protection
during
periods
of
market
stress.
Most
of
the
Portfolio’s
allocations
delivered
positive
absolute
returns
given
the
“risk-on”
environment
in
the
financial
markets
during
2023.
An
allocation
to
high
yield
bonds
was
a
key
contributor
to
performance
at
a
time
in
which
investors
sought
the
higher
yields
and
attractive
total
return
potential
in
below
investment-grade
debt.
Similarly,
floating-rate
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLOs”)
and
bank
loans
contributed
thanks
to
the
favorable
risk
backdrop
and
strong
demand
for
fixed-income
investments
with
below-average
sensitivity
to
rising
interest
rates.
Positions
in
global
equities
and
covered
calls
also
aided
returns
given
the
strong
performance
for
the
stock
market
in
2023.
The
Portfolio
held
derivatives
during
the
year.
It
used
U.S.
Treasury
futures
to
manage
the
Portfolio’s
interest-rate
positioning.
While
this
strategy
helped
performance
in
November
and
December
2023,
it
detracted
over
the
full
12
months
given
the
extent
to
which
interest
rates
rose
in
the
first
ten
months
of
the
year.
The
Portfolio’s
risk-
management
strategies
with
respect
to
foreign
currencies
also
detracted
slightly.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Portfolio’s
use
of
covered
calls
helped
performance,
as
did
its
use
of
equity
derivatives
to
manage
overall
risk
levels.
(Covered
calls
involve
the
use
of
derivatives
and
are
intended
as
an
alternative
source
of
income.)
The
Fund’s
practice
of
maintaining
a
specified
level
of
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
did
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy.
The
distribution
policy
did
not
result
in
return
of
capital
for
the
period.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
investment
adviser
made
several
changes
throughout
the
year
in
response
to
shifting
market
conditions.
Early
in
the
period,
the
investment
adviser
responded
to
the
elevated
volatility
associated
with
the
regional
banking
crisis
by
reducing
the
Portfolio’s
weighting
in
lower-quality
fixed
income
investments
in
favor
of
higher-quality
holdings.
Later
in
the
period,
the
investment
adviser
increased
the
Portfolio’s
position
in
equities
given
the
relatively
favorable
growth
backdrop
and
changing
inflation
dynamics.
Similarly,
the
investment
adviser
increased
the
Portfolio’s
position
in
lower-quality
bonds
in
late
2023
as
they
appeared
attractive
relative
to
higher-quality
issues
at
a
time
of
improving
market
conditions.
The
investment
adviser
adjusted
the
Portfolio’s
duration
throughout
the
period
in
an
effort
to
capitalize
on
bond
market
volatility.
(Duration
is
a
measure
of
interest-rate
sensitivity.)
The
Portfolio
ultimately
finished
December
2023
with
modestly
lower
duration
than
the
fixed-income
benchmark.
This
positioning
reflected
the
investment
adviser’s
belief
that
the
bond
market
rally
in
the
final
two
months
of
the
year
appeared
overdone
relative
to
the
growth
and
inflation
backdrop.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund
invested
nearly
the
entirety
of
its
assets
in
the
Portfolio
while
maintaining
a
small
position
in
cash
for
operational
purposes.
The
Portfolio
was
diversified
across
several
income-producing
asset
classes—including
investment-grade
debt,
bank
loans,
high
yield
bonds,
global
equities,
covered
calls,
preferred
stocks,
mortgage-backed
securities
and
cash—and
it
continued
to
use
risk-management
strategies.
At
the
close
of
the
period,
the
Fund’s
duration
stood
at
approximately
2.8
years.
The
views
expressed
reflect
the
opinions
of
BlackRock
as
of
the
date
of
this
report
and
are
subject
to
change
based
on
changes
in

economic

other

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2023,
the
Fund
underperformed
its
custom
benchmark,
a
blend
of
50%
MSCI
World
Index/50%
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index.
The
Fund
invests
substantially
all
of
its
assets
in
the
BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Income
Portfolio
(the
“Portfolio”).
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
following
discussion
relates
to
absolute
performance
due
to
the
nature
of
the
Portfolio’s
approach.
The
Portfolio
employs
an
unconstrained
strategy
(i.e.
one
with
flexibility
to
invest
across
all
asset
classes)
that
is
managed
within
a
risk-controlled
framework
and
seeks
to
maintain
a
competitive
yield
with
a
risk
profile
less
than
or
equal
to
the
50/50
custom
benchmark.
The
Portfolio
may
use
derivatives
to
manage
positioning
or
provide
an
element
of
protection
during
periods
of
market
stress.
Most
of
the
Portfolio’s
allocations
delivered
positive
absolute
returns
given
the
“risk-on”
environment
in
the
financial
markets
during
2023.
An
allocation
to
high
yield
bonds
was
a
key
contributor
to
performance
at
a
time
in
which
investors
sought
the
higher
yields
and
attractive
total
return
potential
in
below
investment-grade
debt.
Similarly,
floating-rate
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLOs”)
and
bank
loans
contributed
thanks
to
the
favorable
risk
backdrop
and
strong
demand
for
fixed-income
investments
with
below-average
sensitivity
to
rising
interest
rates.
Positions
in
global
equities
and
covered
calls
also
aided
returns
given
the
strong
performance
for
the
stock
market
in
2023.
The
Portfolio
held
derivatives
during
the
year.
It
used
U.S.
Treasury
futures
to
manage
the
Portfolio’s
interest-rate
positioning.
While
this
strategy
helped
performance
in
November
and
December
2023,
it
detracted
over
the
full
12
months
given
the
extent
to
which
interest
rates
rose
in
the
first
ten
months
of
the
year.
The
Portfolio’s
risk-
management
strategies
with
respect
to
foreign
currencies
also
detracted
slightly.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Portfolio’s
use
of
covered
calls
helped
performance,
as
did
its
use
of
equity
derivatives
to
manage
overall
risk
levels.
(Covered
calls
involve
the
use
of
derivatives
and
are
intended
as
an
alternative
source
of
income.)
The
Fund’s
practice
of
maintaining
a
specified
level
of
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
did
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy.
The
distribution
policy
did
not
result
in
return
of
capital
for
the
period.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
investment
adviser
made
several
changes
throughout
the
year
in
response
to
shifting
market
conditions.
Early
in
the
period,
the
investment
adviser
responded
to
the
elevated
volatility
associated
with
the
regional
banking
crisis
by
reducing
the
Portfolio’s
weighting
in
lower-quality
fixed
income
investments
in
favor
of
higher-quality
holdings.
Later
in
the
period,
the
investment
adviser
increased
the
Portfolio’s
position
in
equities
given
the
relatively
favorable
growth
backdrop
and
changing
inflation
dynamics.
Similarly,
the
investment
adviser
increased
the
Portfolio’s
position
in
lower-quality
bonds
in
late
2023
as
they
appeared
attractive
relative
to
higher-quality
issues
at
a
time
of
improving
market
conditions.
The
investment
adviser
adjusted
the
Portfolio’s
duration
throughout
the
period
in
an
effort
to
capitalize
on
bond
market
volatility.
(Duration
is
a
measure
of
interest-rate
sensitivity.)
The
Portfolio
ultimately
finished
December
2023
with
modestly
lower
duration
than
the
fixed-income
benchmark.
This
positioning
reflected
the
investment
adviser’s
belief
that
the
bond
market
rally
in
the
final
two
months
of
the
year
appeared
overdone
relative
to
the
growth
and
inflation
backdrop.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund
invested
nearly
the
entirety
of
its
assets
in
the
Portfolio
while
maintaining
a
small
position
in
cash
for
operational
purposes.
The
Portfolio
was
diversified
across
several
income-producing
asset
classes—including
investment-grade
debt,
bank
loans,
high
yield
bonds,
global
equities,
covered
calls,
preferred
stocks,
mortgage-backed
securities
and
cash—and
it
continued
to
use
risk-management
strategies.
At
the
close
of
the
period,
the
Fund’s
duration
stood
at
approximately
2.8
years.
The
views
expressed
reflect
the
opinions
of
BlackRock
as
of
the
date
of
this
report
and
are
subject
to
change
based
on
changes
in
market,
economic
or
other
conditions.
These
views
are
not
intended
to
be
a
forecast
of
future
events
and
are
no
guarantee
of
future
results.

Distributions
paid

will
vary
because
of

BlackRock

Fund’s
investment
adviser,
has
contractually

voluntarily
agreed
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
a
portion
of
each

Without
such
waiver(s)

Disclosure
of
Expenses
Shareholders
of
each
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(a)
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges;
and
(b)
operating
expenses,
including
investment
advisory
fees,
administration
fees, service
and
distribution
fees,
including
12b-1
fees,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses, and
other
fund
expenses.
The
expense
examples shown
(which are
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
through
the
end
of
the
period) are
intended
to
assist
shareholders
both
in
calculating
expenses
based
on
an
investment
in each
Fund
and
in
comparing
these
expenses
with
similar
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
expense
examples
provide
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
Annualized
expense
ratios
reflect
contractual
and
voluntary
fee
waivers,
if
any.
In
order
to
estimate
the
expenses
a
shareholder
paid
during
the
period
covered
by
this
report,
shareholders
can
divide
their
account
value
by
$1,000
and
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
corresponding
to
their
Fund and
share
class
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the
Period.” 
The
expense
examples
also
provide
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
a
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses.
In
order
to
assist
shareholders
in
comparing
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
these
Funds
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds. 
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
examples
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges,
if
any.
Therefore,
the
hypothetical
examples
are
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
expenses
only
and
will
not
help
shareholders
determine
the
relative
total
expenses
of
owning
different
funds.
If
these
transactional
expenses
were
included,
shareholder
expenses
would
have
been
higher.

the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company.
The
Trust
is
organized
as
a
Massachusetts
business
trust.
The
following,
each
of
which
is
a
series
of
the
Trust,
are
referred
to
herein
collectively
as
the
“Funds”
or
individually
as
a
“Fund”:
Each
Fund
seeks
to
achieve
its
investment
objective
by
investing
primarily
in
BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Income
Portfolio
("Multi-Asset
Income").
The
unaudited
Schedule
of
Investments
and
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
of
December
31,
2023
for
Multi-Asset

elsewhere
in
this
report
and
should
be

multiple
classes
of
shares.
All
classes
of
shares
have
identical
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights
and
are
subject
to
the
same
terms
and
conditions,

2.
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.
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. 
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
Funds
intend
to
make
monthly
cash
distributions
to
shareholders,
which
may
consist
of
net
investment
income,
and
net
realized
and
unrealized
gains
on
investments
and/or
return
of
capital.
The
character
of
distributions
is
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
The
portion
of
distributions
that
exceeds
a
Fund's
current
and
accumulated
earnings
and
profits,
which
are
measured
on
a
tax
basis,
will
constitute
a
non-taxable
return
of
capital.
See
Income
Tax
Information
note
for
the
tax
character
of
each
Fund’s
distributions
paid
during
the
period.
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. 
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
of
Trustees
of
the
Trust
(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,

will

in

with
the
Manager’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting

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:
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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.
Valuation
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.
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
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
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that
each
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest

Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
SEC,
each
Fund
may
participate
in
a
joint
lending
and
borrowing
facility
for
temporary
purposes
(the
“Interfund
Lending
Program”),
subject
to
compliance
with
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
Order,
and
to
the
extent
permitted
by each
Fund’s
investment
policies
and
restrictions. Each
Fund
is
currently
permitted
to
borrow
and
lend
under
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
lending
BlackRock
fund
may
lend
in
aggregate
up
to
15%
of
its
net
assets
but
may
not
lend
more
than
5%
of
its
net
assets
to
any
one
borrowing
fund
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
borrowing
BlackRock
fund
may
not
borrow
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program
or
from
any
other
source
more
than
33
1/3%
of
its
total
assets
(or
any
lower
threshold
provided
for
by
the fund’s
investment
restrictions).
If
a
borrowing
BlackRock
fund’s
total
outstanding
borrowings
exceed
10%
of
its
total
assets,
each
of
its
outstanding
interfund
loans
will
be
subject
to
collateralization
of
at
least
102%
of
the
outstanding
principal
value
of
the
loan.
All
interfund
loans
are
for
temporary
or
emergency
purposes
and
the
interest
rate
to
be
charged
will
be
the
average
of
the
highest
current
overnight
repurchase
agreement
rate
available
to
a
lending
fund
and
the
bank
loan
rate,
as
calculated
according
to
a
formula
established
by
the
Board. 
During
the year
ended
December
31,
2023,
the

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
December
31,
2023,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax

and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements.

(a)
Amounts
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains.
As
of
December
31,
2023, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on

for
U.S.
federal

tax
purposes
were
as
follows:

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Trust,
on
behalf
of
each
Fund,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
(“Participating
Funds”), is
party
to
a
364-day,
$2.50
billion
credit
agreement
with
a
group
of
lenders.
Under
this
agreement,
the
Funds
may
borrow
to
fund
shareholder
redemptions.
Excluding
commitments
designated
for
certain
individual
funds,
the
Participating
Funds,
including
the
Funds,
can
borrow
up
to
an
aggregate
commitment
amount
of
$1.75
billion
at
any
time
outstanding,
subject
to
asset
coverage
and
other
limitations
as
specified
in
the
agreement.
The
credit
agreement
has
the
following
terms:
a
fee
of
0.10%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
interest
at
a
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
Overnight
Bank
Funding
Rate
(“OBFR”)
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.80%
per
annum,
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
rate
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
in
effect
from
time
to
time
plus
0.80%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed
or
(c)
the
sum
of
(x)
Daily
Simple
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“SOFR”)
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.10%
and
(y) 0.80%
per
annum.
The
agreement
expires
in
April
2024
unless
extended
or
renewed.
These
fees
were
allocated
among
such
funds
based
upon
portions
of
the
aggregate
commitment
available
to
them
and
relative
net
assets
of
Participating
Funds.
During
the
year ended
December
31,
2023,
the
Funds
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 PRINCIPAL
RISKS 
In
the
normal
course
of
business, each
Fund
invest
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
or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
and
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
Fund
is
subject. 
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. 
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.
The
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. 
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.
LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
financial
instruments
that
recently
transitioned
from,
or
continue
to
be
tied
to,
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”)
to
determine
payment
obligations,
financing
terms,
hedging
strategies
or
investment
value.
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority,
which
regulates
LIBOR,
has
ceased
publishing
all
LIBOR
settings,
but
some
USD
LIBOR
settings
will
continue
to
be
published
under
a
synthetic
methodology
until
September
30,
2024
for
certain
legacy
contracts.
SOFR
has
been
used
increasingly
on
a
voluntary
basis
in
new
instruments
and
transactions. Under

and
Shareholders
of

Opinions
on
the

Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedules
of
investments,
of
each
of
the
funds
listed
in
the
table
below
(two
of
the
series
constituting
BlackRock
Funds
II,
hereafter
collectively
referred
to
as
the
"Funds")
as
of
December
31,
2023,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the

ended
December
31,
2023,
the
statements
of
changes
in

for

and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial

In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
each
of
the
Funds
as
of
December
31,
2023,
the
results
of
each
of
their

the

in
each
of
their
net

for
each
of
the
two

in

period
ended
December
31,

and
each
of
the

highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2023
by
correspondence
with
the
transfer
agent.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

Statement

Program
2023
BlackRock
Annual
Report
To
Shareholders
32
In
compliance
with
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”),
BlackRock
Funds
II
(the
“Trust”)
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”)
for
BlackRock
Retirement
Income
2030
Fund
and
BlackRock
Retirement
Income
2040
Fund
(the
“Funds”),
each
a
series
of
the
Trust,
which
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
of
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
met
on
November
16-17,
2023
(the
“Meeting”)
to
review
the
Program.
The
Board
previously
appointed
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
or
BlackRock
Fund
Advisors
(“BlackRock”),
each
an
investment
adviser
to
certain
BlackRock
funds,
as
the
program
administrator
for
each
Fund’s
Program,
as
applicable.
BlackRock
also
previously
delegated
oversight
of
the
Program
to
the
40
Act
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Committee
(the
“Committee”).
At
the
Meeting,
the
Committee,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock,
provided
the
Board
with
a
report
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
the
management
of
each
Fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
and
any
material
changes
to
the
Program
(the
“Report”).
The
Report
covered
the
period
from
October
1,
2022
through
September
30,
2023
(the
“Program
Reporting
Period”).
The
Report
described
the
Program’s
liquidity
classification
methodology
for
categorizing
each
Fund’s
investments
(including
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
buckets.
It
also
referenced
the
methodology
used
by
BlackRock
to
establish
each
Fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
Committee
reviews
and
ratifies
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
Fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
The
Report
also
discussed
notable
events
affecting
liquidity
over
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
including
the
imposition
of
capital
controls
in
certain
countries.
The
Report
noted
that
the
Program
complied
with
the
key
factors
for
consideration
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
for
assessing,
managing
and
periodically
reviewing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
as
follows:
a)
The
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
whether
each
Fund’s
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund
structure
with
a
focus
on
funds
with
more
significant
and
consistent
holdings
of
less
liquid
and
illiquid
assets.
The
Committee
also
factored
a
fund’s
concentration
in
an
issuer
into
the
liquidity
classification
methodology
by
taking
issuer
position
sizes
into
account.
Where
a
fund
participated
in
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
(such
as
tender
option
bonds
or
reverse
repurchase
agreements),
such
borrowings
were
factored
into
the
Program’s
calculation
of
a
fund’s
liquidity
bucketing.
A
fund’s
derivative
exposure
was
also
considered
in
such
calculation.
b)
Short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
historical
redemption
activity
and
used
this
information
as
a
component
to
establish
each
Fund’s
reasonably
anticipated
trading
size
utilized
for
liquidity
classifications.
Each
Fund
has
adopted
an
in-kind
redemption
policy
which
may
be
utilized
to
meet
larger
redemption
requests.
The
Committee
may
also
take
into
consideration
a
fund’s
shareholder
ownership
concentration
(which,
depending
on
product
type
and
distribution
channel,
may
or
may
not
be
available),
a
fund’s
distribution
channels,
and
the
degree
of
certainty
associated
with
a
fund’s
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections.
c)
Holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
borrowing
arrangements
.
The
Committee
considered
the
terms
of
the
credit
facility
committed
to
each
Fund,
the
financial
health
of
the
institution
providing
the
facility
and
the
fact
that
the
credit
facility
is
shared
among
multiple
funds
(including
that
a
portion
of
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
is
specifically
designated
for
BlackRock
Floating
Rate
Income
Portfolio,
a
series
of
BlackRock
Funds
V,
and
BlackRock
Floating
Rate
Loan
ETF,
a
series
of
BlackRock
ETF
Trust
II).
The
Committee
also
considered
other
types
of
borrowing
available
to
the
funds,
such
as
the
ability
to
use
reverse
repurchase
agreements
and
interfund
lending,
as
applicable.
There
were
no
material
changes
to
the
Program
during
the
Program
Reporting
Period
other
than
the
enhancement
of
certain
model
components
in
the
Program’s
classification
methodology.
The
Report
provided
to
the
Board
stated
that
the
Committee
concluded
that
based
on
the
operation
of
the
functions,
as
described
in
the
Report,
the
Program
is
operating
as
intended
and
is
effective
in
implementing
the
requirements
of
the
Liquidity
Rule.

Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
for
Open-End Mutual
Funds
and
ETFs
Effective
January
24,
2023,
the
SEC
adopted
rule
and
form
amendments
to
require
open-end mutual
funds
and
ETFs
to
transmit
concise
and
visually
engaging
streamlined
annual
and
semiannual
reports
to
shareholders
that
highlight
key
information.
Other
information,
including
financial
statements,
will
no
longer
appear
in
a
streamlined
shareholder
report
but
must
be
available
online,
delivered
free
of
charge
upon
request,
and
filed
on
a
semiannual
basis
on
Form
N-CSR.
The
rule
and
form
amendments
have
a
compliance
date
of
July
24,
2024.
At
this
time,
management
is
evaluating
the
impact
of
these
amendments
on
the
shareholder
reports
for
the
Funds.

semi-annual
reports,
Rule
30e-3
notices
and
proxy
statements,
to
shareholders
with
multiple
accounts
at
the
same
address.
This
practice
is
commonly
called
“householding”
and
is
intended
to
reduce
expenses
and
eliminate
duplicate
mailings
of
shareholder
documents.
Mailings
of
your
shareholder
documents
may
be
householded
indefinitely
unless
you
instruct
us
otherwise.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The
registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  During the period covered by this report, the code of ethics was amended to update certain information and to make other non-material changes.  During the period covered by this report, there have been no waivers granted under the code of ethics. The registrant undertakes to provide a copy of the code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, who calls 1-800-441-7762.
Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:

Neil A. Cotty
Henry R. Keizer

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
          The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services.  Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the registrant’s Committee.  The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant.  Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).  The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period.  Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project.  For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
 
                        Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the registrant’s Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services).  The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.  At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification.  The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2)  None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable
 
 


(g)  The aggregate non-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:

(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
