How did the Fund perform last year?

• The global fixed-income markets produced positive returns during the reporting period, with income making a sizable contribution in the high interest rate environment.

• Credit-oriented investments performed particularly well, as positive investor sentiment contributed to a narrowing of yield spreads. 

What contributed to performance?

The Fund’s U.S. and European absolute return strategies and European traditional strategies contributed to performance. Specifically, idiosyncratic long positions, event-related trades, and thematic trades all made meaningful contributions. European absolute return strategies, particularly event-related trades, also contributed. European traditional strategies further helped results, primarily in high yield, financials, and mezzanine collateralized loan obligations.

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund used derivatives to manage duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and currency risk. The Fund also has the flexibility to utilize derivatives in order to express a positive or negative view on a particular issuer or sector, or to manage overall credit risk. Derivatives may also serve as a more liquid way to establish positions. The use of derivatives had a marginally positive impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

What detracted from performance?

At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted. With that said, idiosyncratic short positions in the Fund’s U.S. absolute return strategies, along with U.S. and European risk-management  strategies, had small adverse effects.

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.

The Fund has added the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index in response to new regulatory requirements. 

On September 17, 2018, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds^SM, through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

On December 1, 2023, the Fund began to compare its performance to the standard pricing time of the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Index data prior to March 1, 2021 is for the Index’s standard pricing time of 3pm. Index data from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023 is for a custom 4pm pricing variant of the Index. Index returns beginning on December 1, 2023 reflect the Index’s new standard pricing time of 4pm. The change of the Index’s standard pricing time from 3pm to 4pm resulted in the discontinuation of the custom 4pm pricing variant used from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023.

How did the Fund perform last year?

• The global fixed-income markets produced positive returns during the reporting period, with income making a sizable contribution in the high interest rate environment.

• Credit-oriented investments performed particularly well, as positive investor sentiment contributed to a narrowing of yield spreads. 

What contributed to performance?

The Fund’s U.S. and European absolute return strategies and European traditional strategies contributed to performance. Specifically, idiosyncratic long positions, event-related trades, and thematic trades all made meaningful contributions. European absolute return strategies, particularly event-related trades, also contributed. European traditional strategies further helped results, primarily in high yield, financials, and mezzanine collateralized loan obligations.

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund used derivatives to manage duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and currency risk. The Fund also has the flexibility to utilize derivatives in order to express a positive or negative view on a particular issuer or sector, or to manage overall credit risk. Derivatives may also serve as a more liquid way to establish positions. The use of derivatives had a marginally positive impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

What detracted from performance?

At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted. With that said, idiosyncratic short positions in the Fund’s U.S. absolute return strategies, along with U.S. and European risk-management  strategies, had small adverse effects.

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.

Assuming maximum sales charges. Average annual total returns with and without sales charges reflect reductions for service fees.

The Fund has added the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index in response to new regulatory requirements. 

On September 17, 2018, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds^SM, through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

On December 1, 2023, the Fund began to compare its performance to the standard pricing time of the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Index data prior to March 1, 2021 is for the Index’s standard pricing time of 3pm. Index data from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023 is for a custom 4pm pricing variant of the Index. Index returns beginning on December 1, 2023 reflect the Index’s new standard pricing time of 4pm. The change of the Index’s standard pricing time from 3pm to 4pm resulted in the discontinuation of the custom 4pm pricing variant used from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023.

Footnote(b)	Ten largest country/geographic regions are presented. Additional country/geographic regions are found in Other.
Footnote(c)	For purposes of this report, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated NR are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Footnote(d)	Excludes short-term securities, short investments and options, if any.
Footnote(e)	The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors, individual investments and/or issuers. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed unrated U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities and U.S. Treasury Obligations to be of similar credit quality as investments rated AAA/Aaa.
Footnote(f)	Rounds to less than 0.1%.

How did the Fund perform last year?

• The global fixed-income markets produced positive returns during the reporting period, with income making a sizable contribution in the high interest rate environment.

• Credit-oriented investments performed particularly well, as positive investor sentiment contributed to a narrowing of yield spreads. 

What contributed to performance?

The Fund’s U.S. and European absolute return strategies and European traditional strategies contributed to performance. Specifically, idiosyncratic long positions, event-related trades, and thematic trades all made meaningful contributions. European absolute return strategies, particularly event-related trades, also contributed. European traditional strategies further helped results, primarily in high yield, financials, and mezzanine collateralized loan obligations.

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund used derivatives to manage duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and currency risk. The Fund also has the flexibility to utilize derivatives in order to express a positive or negative view on a particular issuer or sector, or to manage overall credit risk. Derivatives may also serve as a more liquid way to establish positions. The use of derivatives had a marginally positive impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

What detracted from performance?

At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted. With that said, idiosyncratic short positions in the Fund’s U.S. absolute return strategies, along with U.S. and European risk-management  strategies, had small adverse effects.

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.

Assuming maximum sales charges. Average annual total returns with and without sales charges reflect reductions for distribution and service fees.

The Fund has added the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index in response to new regulatory requirements. 

On September 17, 2018, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds^SM, through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

On December 1, 2023, the Fund began to compare its performance to the standard pricing time of the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Index data prior to March 1, 2021 is for the Index’s standard pricing time of 3pm. Index data from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023 is for a custom 4pm pricing variant of the Index. Index returns beginning on December 1, 2023 reflect the Index’s new standard pricing time of 4pm. The change of the Index’s standard pricing time from 3pm to 4pm resulted in the discontinuation of the custom 4pm pricing variant used from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023.

How did the Fund perform last year?

• The global fixed-income markets produced positive returns during the reporting period, with income making a sizable contribution in the high interest rate environment.

• Credit-oriented investments performed particularly well, as positive investor sentiment contributed to a narrowing of yield spreads. 

What contributed to performance?

The Fund’s U.S. and European absolute return strategies and European traditional strategies contributed to performance. Specifically, idiosyncratic long positions, event-related trades, and thematic trades all made meaningful contributions. European absolute return strategies, particularly event-related trades, also contributed. European traditional strategies further helped results, primarily in high yield, financials, and mezzanine collateralized loan obligations.

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund used derivatives to manage duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and currency risk. The Fund also has the flexibility to utilize derivatives in order to express a positive or negative view on a particular issuer or sector, or to manage overall credit risk. Derivatives may also serve as a more liquid way to establish positions. The use of derivatives had a marginally positive impact on the Fund’s performance during the reporting period.

What detracted from performance?

At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted. With that said, idiosyncratic short positions in the Fund’s U.S. absolute return strategies, along with U.S. and European risk-management  strategies, had small adverse effects.

The Fund has added the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index in response to new regulatory requirements. 

On September 17, 2018, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds^SM, through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

Performance shown prior to the Class K Shares inception date of March 28, 2016 is that of Institutional Shares. The performance of Class K Shares would be substantially similar to Institutional Shares because Class K Shares and Institutional Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that Class K Shares and Institutional Shares have different expenses. The actual returns of Class K Shares would have been higher than those of the Institutional Shares because Class K Shares have lower expenses than the Institutional Shares.

On December 1, 2023, the Fund began to compare its performance to the standard pricing time of the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Index data prior to March 1, 2021 is for the Index’s standard pricing time of 3pm. Index data from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023 is for a custom 4pm pricing variant of the Index. Index returns beginning on December 1, 2023 reflect the Index’s new standard pricing time of 4pm. The change of the Index’s standard pricing time from 3pm to 4pm resulted in the discontinuation of the custom 4pm pricing variant used from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023.

Lorenzo A. Flores
Catherine A. Lynch
Arthur P. Steinmetz

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.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

The following table presents fees billed by PwC that were required to be approved by the registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) for services that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund and that are rendered on behalf of BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “BlackRock”) and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”):

	Current Fiscal Year End	Previous Fiscal Year End
(b) Audit-Related Fees1	$0	$0
(c) Tax Fees2	$0	$0
(d) All Other Fees	$0	$0

¹ The nature of the services includes assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements not included in Audit Fees, including accounting consultations, agreed upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

² The nature of the services includes tax compliance and/or tax preparation, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, taxable income and tax distribution calculations.

               (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 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 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:

Entity Name	Current Fiscal Year End	Previous Fiscal Year End
BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund	$28,080	$28,383

              (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.

               (i) – Not Applicable

               (j) – Not Applicable

The

Benefits

and

Risks

of

Leveraging

/

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

The

Fund

may

utilize

leverage

to

seek

to

enhance

returns

and

net

asset

value

(“NAV”).

However,

there

is

no

guarantee

that

these

objectives

can

be

achieved

in

all

interest

rate

environments.  

The

Fund

may

utilize

leverage

by

entering

into

reverse

repurchase

agreements. 

In

general,

the

concept

of

leveraging

is

based

on

the

premise

that

the

financing

cost

of

leverage,

which

is

based

on

short-term

interest

rates,

is

normally

lower

than

the

income

earned

by

the

Fund

on

its

longer-term

portfolio

investments

purchased

with

the

proceeds

from

leverage.

To

the

extent

that

the

total

assets

of

the

Fund

(including

the

assets

obtained

from

leverage)

are

invested

in

higher-yielding

portfolio

investments,

the

Fund’s

shareholders

benefit

from

the

incremental

net

income.

The

interest

earned

on

securities

purchased

with

the

proceeds

from

leverage

is

distributed

to

the

Fund’s

shareholders,

and

the

value

of

these

portfolio

holdings

is

reflected

in

the

Fund’s

per

share

NAV.

However,

in

order

to

benefit

shareholders,

the

return

on

assets

purchased

with

leverage

proceeds

must

exceed

the

ongoing

costs

associated

with

the

leverage.

If

interest

and

other

ongoing

costs

of

leverage

exceed

the

Fund’s

return

on

assets

purchased

with

leverage

proceeds,

income

to

shareholders

is

lower

than

if

the

Fund

had

not

used

leverage.

Furthermore,

the

value

of

the

Fund’s

portfolio

investments

generally

varies

inversely

with

the

direction

of

long-term

interest

rates,

although

other

factors

can

also

influence

the

value

of

portfolio

investments.

As

a

result,

changes

in

interest

rates

can

influence

the

Fund’s

NAV

positively

or

negatively

in

addition

to

the

impact

on

the

Fund’s

performance

from

leverage.

Changes

in

the

direction

of

interest

rates

are

difficult

to

predict

accurately,

and

there

is

no

assurance

that

the

Fund’s

leveraging

strategy

will

be

successful.

The

use

of

leverage

also

generally

causes

greater

changes

in

the

Fund’s

NAV

and

dividend

rates

than

comparable

portfolios

without

leverage.

In

a

declining

market,

leverage

is

likely

to

cause

a

greater

decline

in

the

NAV

of the

Fund’s

shares

than

if

the

Fund

were

not

leveraged.

In

addition,

the

Fund

may

be

required

to

sell

portfolio

securities

at

inopportune

times

or

at

distressed

values

in

order

to

comply

with

regulatory

requirements

applicable

to

the

use

of

leverage

or

as

required

by

the

terms

of

the

leverage

instruments,

which

may

cause

the

Fund

to

incur

losses.

The

use

of

leverage

may

limit the

Fund’s

ability

to

invest

in

certain

types

of

securities

or

use

certain

types

of

hedging

strategies.

The

Fund

incurs

expenses

in

connection

with

the

use

of

leverage,

all

of

which

are

borne

by

the

Fund’s

shareholders

and

may

reduce

income.

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

The

Fund

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

Fund

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

Fund’s

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 the

Fund

can

realize

on

an

investment

and/or

may

result

in

lower

distributions

paid

to

shareholders.

The

Fund’s

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.

The

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

Fund

is

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.

Upon

notification

from

issuers,

a

portion

of

the

dividend

income

received

from

a

real

estate

investment

trust

may

be

redesignated

as

a

reduction

of

cost

of

the

related

investment

and/or

realized

gain.

Interest

income,

including

amortization

and

accretion

of

premiums

and

discounts

on

debt

securities

and

payment-in-kind

interest,

are

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. For

convertible

securities,

premiums

attributable

to

the

debt

instrument

are

amortized,

but

premiums

attributable

to

the

Foreign

Currency

Translation:

The

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. 

The

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

Statement

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.

The

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

Fund

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

the

Fund

invests.

These

foreign

taxes,

if

any,

are

paid

by

the

Fund

and

are

reflected

in

its

Deferred

Compensation

Plan:

Under

the

Deferred

Compensation

Plan

(the

“Plan”)

approved

by

the

Board

of

Trustees

of

the

Trust

(the

“Board”), the 

trustees

who

are

not

“interested

persons”

of

the

Fund,

as

defined

in

the

1940

Act

(“Independent

Trustees

”),

may

defer

a

portion

of

their

annual

complex-wide

compensation.

Deferred

amounts

earn

an

approximate

return

as

though

equivalent

dollar

amounts

had

been

invested

in

common

shares

of

certain

funds

in

the

BlackRock

Fixed-Income

Complex

selected

by

the

Independent

Trustees

.

This

has

the

same

economic

effect

for

the

Independent 

Trustees

as

if

the

Independent 

Trustees

had

invested

the

deferred

amounts

directly

in

certain

funds

in

the

BlackRock

Fixed-Income

Complex.  

The

Plan

is

not

and

obligations

thereunder

represent

general

unsecured

claims

against

the

general

assets

of

the

included

in

the Trustees’

in

the

Statement

of

and

will

remain

as

a

in

the

value

of

and

reflected

as

Trustee

Officer

expense

on

the

Statement

of

Operations.

The

Trustee

and

Officer

expense

may

be

negative

as

a

result

of

a

decrease

in

value

of

the

deferred

accounts.

Indemnifications:

In

the

normal

course

of

business,

the

Fund

enters

into

contracts

that

contain

a

variety

of

representations

that

provide

general

indemnification.

The

Fund’s

maximum

exposure

under

these

arrangements

is

unknown

because

it

involves

future

potential

claims

against

the

which

cannot

be

INVESTMENT

VALUATION

AND

FAIR

VALUE

MEASUREMENTS 

Investment

Valuation

Policies:

 The

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

the

Fund’s

Manager

as

the

valuation

designee

for

the

Fund.

The

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

the

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

available

bid

(long

positions)

or

ask

(short

positions)

price.  

Fixed-income investments

for

which

market

quotations

are

readily

available

are

generally

valued

using

the

last

available

bid

price

or

current

market

quotations

provided

by

independent

dealers

or

third-party

pricing

services. Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

bid

prices

from

one

or

more

independent

brokers

or

dealers

as

obtained

from

a

third-party

pricing

service. Pricing

services

generally

value

fixed-income

securities

assuming

orderly

transactions

of

an

institutional

round

lot

size,

but

a

fund

may

hold

or

transact

in

such

securities

in

smaller,

odd

lot

sizes.

Odd

lots

may

trade

at

lower

prices

than

institutional

round

lots.

The

pricing

services

may

use

matrix

pricing

or

valuation

models

that

utilize

certain

inputs

and

assumptions

to

derive

values,

including

transaction

data

(e.g.,

recent

representative

bids

and

offers),

market

data, credit

quality

information,

perceived

market

movements,

news,

and

other

relevant

information.

Certain

fixed-income

securities,

including

asset-

backed

and

mortgage

related

securities

may

be

valued

based

on

valuation

models

that

consider

the

estimated

cash

flows

of

each

tranche

of

the

entity,

establish

a

benchmark

yield

and

develop

an

estimated

tranche

specific

spread

to

the

benchmark

yield

based

on

the

unique

attributes

of

the

tranche.

The

amortized

cost

method

of

valuation

may

be

used

with

respect

to

debt

obligations

with

sixty

days

or

less

remaining

to

maturity

unless

the

Manager

determines

such

method

does

not

represent

fair

value.

Exchange-traded

funds

(“ETFs”)

and

closed-end

funds 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.

ETFs

and

closed-end

funds

traded

on

a

recognized

exchange

for

which

there

were

no

sales

on

that

day

may

be

valued

at

the

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

published 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.

options

and

options

on

(“swaptions”)

are

valued

by

an

independent

service

using

a

mathematical

model,

which

incorporates

a

number

of

market

data

factors,

such

as

the

trades

and

prices

of

the

underlying

instruments.

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

a

number

of

market

data

factors,

such

as

discounted

cash

flows,

trades

and

values

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

Each

business

day,

the

Fund

uses

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

follows

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.

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

the

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.

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.  

Investments

in

series

of

preferred

stock

issued

by

Private

Companies

are

typically

valued

utilizing

market

approach

in

determining

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. 

The

Private

Companies

are

not

subject

to

the

public

company

disclosure,

timing,

and

reporting

standards

applicable

to other

investments

held

by the

Fund.

Typically,

the

most

recently

available

information

by

a

Private

Company

is

as

of

a

date

that

is

earlier

than

the

date the

Fund

is

calculating

its

NAV.

This

factor

may

result

in

a

difference

between

the

value

of

the

investment

and

the

price the

Fund

could

receive

upon

the

sale

of

the

investment.

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

the

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

rates,

yield

curves,

volatilities,

prepayment

speeds,

loss

severities,

credit

risks

and

default

rates)

or

other

market–corroborated

inputs);

and 

Level

3 —

Unobservable

inputs

based

on

the

best

information

available

in

the

circumstances,

to

the

extent

observable

inputs

are

not

available

(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

SECURITIES

AND

OTHER

INVESTMENTS 

Asset-Backed

and

Mortgage-Backed

Securities:

Asset-backed

securities

are

generally

issued

as

pass-through

certificates

or

as

debt

instruments.

Asset-backed

securities

issued

as

pass-through

certificates

represent

undivided

fractional

ownership

interests

in

an

underlying

pool

of

assets.

Asset-backed

securities

issued

as

debt

instruments,

which

are

also

known

as

collateralized

obligations,

are

typically

issued

as

the

debt

of

a

special

purpose

entity

organized

solely

for

the

purpose

of

owning

such

assets

and

issuing

such

debt.

Asset-backed

securities

are

often

backed

by

a

pool

of

assets

representing

the

obligations

of

a

number

of

different

parties.

The

yield

characteristics

of

certain

asset-backed

securities

may

differ

from

traditional

debt

securities.

One

such

major

difference

is

that

all

or

a

principal

part

of

the

obligations

may

be

prepaid

at

any

time

because

the

underlying

assets

(i.e.,

loans)

may

be

prepaid

at

any

time.

As

a

result,

a

decrease

in

interest

rates

in

the

market

may

result

in

increases

in

the

level

of

prepayments

as

borrowers,

particularly

mortgagors,

refinance

and

repay

their

loans.

An

increased

prepayment

rate

with

respect

to

an

asset-backed

security

will

have

the

effect

of

shortening

the

maturity

of

the

security.

In

addition,

a

fund

may

subsequently

have

to

reinvest

the

proceeds

at

lower

interest

rates.

If

a

fund

has

purchased

such

an

asset-backed

security

at

a

premium,

a

faster

than

anticipated

prepayment

rate

could

result

in

a

loss

of

principal

to

the

extent

of

the

premium

paid. 

For

mortgage

pass-through

securities

(the

“Mortgage

Assets”)

there

are

a

number

of

important

differences

among

the

agencies

and

instrumentalities

of

the

U.S.

Government

that

issue

mortgage-related

securities

and

among

the

securities

that

they

issue.

For

example,

mortgage-related

securities

guaranteed

by

Ginnie

Mae

are

guaranteed

as

to

the

timely

payment

of

principal

and

interest

by

Ginnie

Mae

and

such

guarantee

is

backed

by

the

full

faith

and

credit

of

the

United

States.

However,

mortgage-related

securities

issued

by

Freddie

Mac

and

Fannie

Mae,

including

Freddie

Mac

and

Fannie

Mae

guaranteed

mortgage

pass-through

certificates,

which

are

solely

the

obligations

of

Freddie

Mac

and

Fannie

Mae,

are

not

backed

by

or

entitled

to

the

full

faith

and

credit

of

the

United

States,

but

are

supported

by

the

right

of

the

issuer

to

borrow

from

the

U.S.

Treasury. 

Non-agency

mortgage-backed

securities

are

securities

issued

by

non-governmental

issuers

and

have

no

direct

or

indirect

government

guarantees

of

payment

and

are

subject

to

various

risks.

Non-agency

mortgage

loans

are

obligations

of

the

borrowers

thereunder

only

and

are

not

typically

insured

or

guaranteed

by

any

other

person

or

entity.

The

ability

of

a

borrower

to

repay

a

loan

is

dependent

upon

the

income

or

assets

of

the

borrower.

A

number

of

factors,

including

a

general

economic

downturn,

acts

of

God,

terrorism,

social

unrest

and

civil

disturbances,

may

impair

a

borrower’s

ability

to

repay

its

loans.

Collateralized

Debt

Obligations:

Collateralized

debt

obligations

(“CDOs”),

including

collateralized

bond

obligations

(“CBOs”)

and

collateralized

loan

obligations

(“CLOs”),

are

types

of

asset-backed

securities.

A

CDO

is

an

entity

that

is

backed

by

a

diversified

pool

of

debt

securities

(CBOs)

or

syndicated

bank

loans

(CLOs).

The

cash

flows

of

the

CDO

can

be

split

into

multiple

segments,

called

“tranches,”

which

will

vary

in

risk

profile

and

yield.

The

riskiest

segment

is

the

subordinated

or

“equity”

tranche.

This

tranche

bears

the

greatest

risk

of

defaults

from

the

underlying

assets

in

the

CDO

and

serves

to

protect

the

other,

more

senior,

tranches

from

default

in

all

but

the

most

severe

circumstances.

Since

it

is

shielded

from

defaults

by

the

more

junior

tranches,

a

“senior”

tranche

will

typically

have

higher

credit

ratings

and

lower

yields

than

their

underlying

securities,

and

often

receive

investment

grade

ratings

from

one

or

more

of

the

nationally

recognized

rating

agencies.

Despite

the

protection

from

the

more

junior

tranches,

senior

tranches

can

experience

substantial

losses

due

to

actual

defaults,

increased

sensitivity

to

future

defaults

and

the

disappearance

of

one

or

more

protecting

tranches

as

a

result

of

changes

in

the

credit

profile

of

the

underlying

pool

of

assets. 

Multiple

Class

Pass-Through

Securities:

Multiple

class

pass-through

securities,

including

collateralized

mortgage

obligations

(“CMOs”)

and

commercial

mortgage-backed

securities,

may

be

issued

by

Ginnie

Mae,

U.S.

Government

agencies

or

instrumentalities

or

by

trusts

formed

by

private

originators

of,

or

investors

in,

mortgage

loans.

In

general,

CMOs

are

debt

obligations

of

a

legal

entity

that

are

collateralized

by

a

pool

of

residential

or

commercial

mortgage

loans

or

Mortgage

Assets.

The

payments

on

these

are

used

to

make

payments

on

the

CMOs

or

multiple

pass-through

securities.

Multiple

class

pass-through

securities

represent

direct

ownership

interests

in

the

Mortgage

Assets.

Classes

of

CMOs

include

interest

only

(“IOs”),

principal

only

(“POs”),

planned

amortization

classes

and

targeted

amortization

classes.

IOs

and

POs

are

stripped

mortgage-backed

securities

representing

interests

in

a

pool

of

mortgages,

the

cash

flow

from

which

has

been

separated

into

interest

and

principal

components.

IOs

receive

the

interest

portion

of

the

cash

flow

while

POs

receive

the

principal

portion.

IOs

and

POs

can

be

extremely

volatile

in

response

to

changes

in

interest

rates.

As

interest

rates

rise

and

fall,

the

value

of

IOs

tends

to

move

in

the

same

direction

as

interest

rates.

POs

perform

best

when

prepayments

on

the

underlying

mortgages

rise

since

this

increases

the

rate

at

which

the

principal

is

returned

and

the

yield

to

maturity

on

the

PO.

When

payments

on

mortgages

underlying

a

PO

are

slower

than

anticipated,

the

life

of

the

PO

is

lengthened

and

the

yield

to

maturity

is

reduced.

If

the

underlying

Mortgage

Assets

experience

greater

than

anticipated

prepayments

of

principal,

a

fund’s

initial

investment

in

the

IOs

may

not

fully

recoup. 

Zero-Coupon

Bonds:

Zero-coupon

bonds

are

normally

issued

at

a

significant

discount

from

face

value

and

do

not

provide

for

periodic

interest

payments.

These

bonds

may

experience

greater

volatility

in

market

value

than

other

debt

obligations

of

similar

maturity

which

provide

for

regular

interest

payments. 

Capital

Securities

and

Trust

Preferred

Securities:

Capital

securities,

including

trust

preferred

securities,

are

typically

issued

by

corporations,

generally

in

the

form

of

interest-bearing

notes

with

preferred

securities

characteristics.

In

the

case

of

trust

preferred

securities,

an

affiliated

business

trust

of

a

corporation

issues

these

securities,

generally

in

the

form

of

beneficial

interests

in

subordinated

debentures

or

similarly

structured

securities.

The

securities

can

be

structured

with

either

a

fixed

or

adjustable

coupon

that

can

have

either

a

perpetual

or

stated

maturity

date.

For

trust

preferred

securities,

the

issuing

bank

or

corporation

pays

interest

to

the

trust,

which

is

then

distributed

to

holders

of

these

securities

as

a

dividend.

Dividends

can

be

deferred

without

creating

an

event

of

default

or

acceleration,

although

maturity

cannot

take

place

unless

all

cumulative

payment

obligations

have

been

met.

The

deferral

of

payments

does

not

affect

the

purchase

or

sale

of

these

securities

in

the

open

market.

These

securities

generally

are

rated

below

that

of

the

issuing

company’s

senior

debt

securities

and

are

freely

callable

at

the

issuer’s

option. 

Preferred

Stocks:

Preferred

stock

has

a

preference

over

common

stock

in

liquidation

(and

generally

in

receiving

dividends

as

well),

but

is

subordinated

to

the

liabilities

of

the

issuer

in

all

respects.

As

a

general

rule,

the

market

value

of

preferred

stock

with

a

fixed

dividend

rate

and

no

conversion

element

varies

inversely

with

interest

rates

and

perceived

credit

risk,

while

the

market

price

of

convertible

preferred

stock

generally

also

reflects

some

element

of

conversion

value.

Because

preferred

stock

is

junior

to

debt

securities

and

other

obligations

of

the

issuer,

deterioration

in

the

credit

quality

of

the

issuer

will

cause

greater

changes

in

the

value

of

a

preferred

stock

than

in

a

more

senior

debt

security

with

similar

stated

yield

characteristics.

Unlike

interest

payments

on

debt

securities,

preferred

stock

dividends

are

payable

only

if

declared

by

the

issuer’s

board

of

directors.

Preferred

stock

also

may

be

subject

to

optional

or

mandatory

redemption

provisions.

Warrants:

Warrants

entitle

a

fund

to

purchase

a

specified

number

of

shares

of

common

stock

and

are

non-income

producing.

The

purchase

price

and

number

of

shares

are

subject

to

adjustment

under

certain

conditions

until

the

expiration

date

of

the

warrants,

if

any.

If

the

price

of

the

underlying

stock

does

not

rise

above

the

strike

price

before

the

warrant

expires,

the

warrant

generally

expires

without

any

value

and

a

fund

will

lose

any

amount

it

paid

for

the

warrant.

Thus,

investments

in

warrants

may

involve

more

risk

than

investments

in

common

stock.

Warrants

may

trade

in

the

same

markets

as

however,

the

price

of

the

does

not

necessarily

move

Floating

Rate

Loan

Interests:

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

typically

issued

to

companies

(the

“borrower”)

by

banks,

other

financial

institutions,

or

privately

and

publicly

offered

corporations

(the

“lender”).

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

generally

non-investment

grade,

often

involve

borrowers

whose

financial

condition

is

troubled

or

uncertain

and

companies

that

are

highly

leveraged

or

in

bankruptcy

proceedings.

In

addition,

transactions

in

floating

rate

loan

interests

may

settle

on

a

delayed

basis,

which

may

result

in

proceeds

from

the

sale

not

being

readily

available

for

a

fund

to

make

additional

investments

or

meet

its

redemption

obligations.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

may

include

fully

funded

term

loans

or

revolving

lines

of

credit.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

typically

senior

in

the

corporate

capital

structure

of

the

borrower.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

generally

pay

interest

at

rates

that

are

periodically

determined

by

reference

to

a

base

lending

rate

plus

a

premium.

Since

the

rates

reset

only

periodically,

changes

in

prevailing

interest

rates

(and

particularly

sudden

and

significant

changes)

can

be

expected

to

cause

some

fluctuations

in

the

NAV

of

a

fund

to

the

extent

that

it

invests

in

floating

rate

loan

interests.

The

base

lending

rates

are

generally

the

lending

rate

offered

by

one

or

more

European

banks,

such

as

the

Secured

Overnight

Financing

Rate

(“SOFR”),

the

prime

rate

offered

by

one

or

more

U.S.

banks

or

the

certificate

of

deposit

rate.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

may

involve

foreign

borrowers,

and

investments

may

be

denominated

in

foreign

currencies.

These

investments

are

treated

as

investments

in

debt

securities

for

purposes

of

a

fund’s

investment

policies. 

When

a

fund

purchases

a

floating

rate

loan

interest,

it

may

receive

a

facility

fee

and

when

it

sells

a

floating

rate

loan

interest,

it

may

pay

a

facility

fee.

On

an

ongoing

basis,

a

fund

may

receive

a

commitment

fee

based

on

the

undrawn

portion

of

the

underlying

line

of

credit

amount

of

a

floating

rate

loan

interest.

Facility

and

commitment

fees

are

typically

amortized

to

income

over

the

term

of

the

loan

or

term

of

the

commitment,

respectively.

Consent

and

amendment

fees

are

recorded

to

income

as

earned.

Prepayment

penalty

fees,

which

may

be

received

by

a

fund

upon

the

prepayment

of

a

floating

rate

loan

interest

by

a

borrower,

are

recorded

as

realized

gains.

A

fund

may

invest

in

multiple

series

or

tranches

of

a

loan.

A

different

series

or

tranche

may

have

varying

terms

and

carry

different

associated

risks.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

usually

freely

callable

at

the

borrower’s

option.

A

fund

may

invest

in

such

loans

in

the

form

of

participations

in

loans

(“Participations”)

or

assignments

(“Assignments”)

of

all

or

a

portion

of

loans

from

third

parties.

Participations

typically

will

result

in

a

fund

having

a

contractual

relationship

only

with

the

lender,

not

with

the

borrower.

A

fund

has

the

right

to

receive

payments

of

principal,

interest

and

any

fees

to

which

it

is

entitled

only

from

the

lender

selling

the

Participation

and

only

upon

receipt

by

the

lender

of

the

payments

from

the

borrower.

In

connection

with

purchasing

Participations,

a

fund

generally

will

have

no

right

to

enforce

compliance

by

the

borrower

with

the

terms

of

the

loan

agreement,

nor

any

rights

of

offset

against

the

borrower.

A

fund

may

not

benefit

directly

from

any

collateral

supporting

the

loan

in

which

it

has

purchased

the

Participation.

As

a

result,

a

fund

assumes

the

credit

risk

of

both

the

borrower

and

the

lender

that

is

selling

the

Participation.

A

fund’s

investment

in

loan

participation

interests

involves

the

risk

of

insolvency

of

the

financial

intermediaries

who

are

parties

to

the

transactions.

In

the

event

of

the

insolvency

of

the

lender

selling

the

Participation,

a

fund

may

be

treated

as

a

general

creditor

of

the

lender

and

may

not

benefit

from

any

offset

between

the

lender

and

the

borrower.

Assignments

typically

result

in

a

fund

having

a

direct

contractual

relationship

with

the

borrower,

and

a

fund

may

enforce

compliance

by

the

borrower

with

the

terms

of

the

loan

agreement.

In

connection

with

floating

rate

loan

interests,

the

Fund

may

also

enter

into

unfunded

floating

rate

loan

interests

(“commitments”).

In

connection

with

these

commitments,

the

fund

earns

a

commitment

fee,

typically

set

as

a

percentage

of

the

commitment

amount.

Such

fee

income,

which

is

included

in

interest

income

in

the

Statement

of

Operations,

is

recognized

ratably

over

the

commitment

period.

Unfunded

floating

rate

loan

interests

are

marked-to-market

daily,

and

any

unrealized

appreciation

(depreciation)

is

included

in

the

Statement

of

and

In

a

a

borrows

a

collateral

and

compensation

to

the

lender

of

the

bond

are

based

on

agreed

upon

rates

between

a

fund

and

the

counterparty.

The

value

of

the

underlying

cash

collateral

approximates

the

market

value

and

accrued

interest

of

the

borrowed

bond.

To

the

extent

that

a

borrowed

bond

transaction

exceeds

one

business

day,

the

value

of

the

cash

collateral

in

the

possession

of

the

counterparty

is

monitored

on

a

daily

basis

to

ensure

the

adequacy

of

the

collateral.

As

the

market

value

of

the

borrowed

bond

changes,

the

cash

collateral

is

periodically

increased

or

decreased

with

a

frequency

and

in

amounts

prescribed

in

the

borrowed

bond

agreement.

A

fund

may

also

experience

delays

in

gaining

access

to

the

collateral.

Reverse

Repurchase

Agreements:

Reverse

repurchase

agreements

are

agreements

with

qualified

third-party

broker

dealers

in

which

a

fund

sells

securities

to

a

bank

or

broker-dealer

and

agrees

to

repurchase

the

same

securities

at

a

mutually

agreed

upon

date

and

price.

A

fund

receives

cash

from

the

sale

to

use

for

other

investment

purposes.

During

the

term

of

the

reverse

repurchase

agreement,

a

fund

continues

to

receive

the

principal

and

interest

payments

on

the

securities

sold.

Certain

agreements

have

no

stated

maturity

and

can

be

terminated

by

either

party

at

any

time.

Interest

on

the

value

of

the

reverse

repurchase

agreements

issued

and

outstanding

is

based

upon

competitive

market

rates

determined

at

the

time

of

issuance.

A

fund

may

utilize

reverse

repurchase

agreements

when

it

is

anticipated

that

the

interest

income

to

be

earned

from

the

investment

of

the

proceeds

of

the

transaction

is

greater

than

the

interest

expense

of

the

transaction.

Reverse

repurchase

agreements

involve

leverage

risk.

If

a

fund

suffers

a

loss

on

its

investment

of

the

transaction

proceeds

from

a

reverse

repurchase

agreement,

a

fund

would

still

be

required

to

pay

the

full

repurchase

price.

Further,

a

fund

remains

subject

to

the

risk

that

the

market

value

of

the

securities

repurchased

declines

below

the

repurchase

price.

In

such

cases,

a

fund

would

be

required

to

return

a

portion

of

the

cash

received

from

the

transaction

or

provide

additional

securities

to

the

counterparty.

Cash

is

recorded

as

a

liability

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

at

face

value

including

accrued

interest.

Due

to

the

short-term

nature

of

the

reverse

agreements,

face

approximates

fair

Interest

payments

made

by

a

fund

to

the

counterparties

are

recorded

as

a

component

of

interest

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

In

periods

of

increased

demand

for

the

security,

a

fund

may

receive

a

fee

for

the

use

of

the

security

by

the

counterparty,

which

may

result

in

interest

income

to

a

fund.

For

the

year

ended

July

31,

2024,

the

average

daily

amount

of

reverse

repurchase

agreements outstanding and

the

weighted

average

interest

rate

for

the

Fund

were

$313,086

and

4.82%,

respectively.

Borrowed

bond

agreements

and

reverse

repurchase

transactions are

entered

into

by

a

fund

under

Master

Repurchase

Agreements

(each,

an

“MRA”),

which

permit

a

fund,

under

certain

circumstances,

including

an

event

of

default

(such

as

bankruptcy

or

insolvency),

to

offset

payables

and/or

receivables

under

the

MRA

with

collateral

held

and/or

posted

to

the

counterparty

and

create

one

single

net

payment

due

to

or

from

a

fund.

With

borrowed

bond

agreements

and

reverse

repurchase

transactions,

typically

a

fund

and

counterparty

under

an

MRA

are

permitted

to

sell,

re-pledge,

or

use

the

collateral

associated

with

the

transaction.

Bankruptcy

or

insolvency

laws

of

a

particular

jurisdiction

may

impose

restrictions

on

or

prohibitions

against

such

a

right

of

offset

in

the

event

of

the

MRA

counterparty’s

bankruptcy

or

insolvency.

Pursuant

to

the

terms

of

the

MRA,

a

fund

receives

or

posts

securities

and

cash

as

collateral

with

a

market

value

in

excess

of

the

repurchase

price

to

be

paid

or

received

by

a

fund

upon

the

maturity

of

the

transaction.

Upon

a

bankruptcy

or

insolvency

of

the

MRA

counterparty,

a

fund

is

considered

an

unsecured

creditor

to

the

extent

that

the

aggregate

market

value

of

the

cash

collateral

and

the

purchased

securities

it

holds

is

less

than

the

repurchase

price.

As

such,

the

receipt

of

any

shortfall

or

any

closeout

amount

owed

to

a

fund

upon

termination

of

the

MRA

could

be

delayed

or

not

received

at

all.

As

of

period

end,

the

following

table

is

a

summary

of

the

Fund’s

open

borrowed

bond

agreements by

counterparty

which

are

subject

to

offset

under

an MRA

on

a

net

basis:

Short

Sale

Transactions:

 In

short

sale

transactions,

a

fund

sells

a

security

it

does

not

hold

in

anticipation

of

a

decline

in

the

market

price

of

that

security.

When

a

fund

makes

a

short

sale,

it

will

borrow

the

security

sold

short

(borrowed

bond)

and

deliver

the

fixed-income

security

to

the

counterparty

to

which

it

sold

the

security

short.

An

amount

equal

to

the

proceeds

received

by

a

fund

is

reflected

as

an

asset

and

an

equivalent

liability.

The

amount

of

the

liability

is

subsequently

marked-to-market

to

reflect

the

market

value

of

the

short

sale.

A

fund

is

required

to

repay

the

counterparty

interest

on

the

security

sold

short,

which,

if

applicable,

is

included

in

interest

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

A

fund

is

exposed

to

market

risk

based

on

the

amount,

if

any,

that

the

market

value

of

the

security

increases

beyond

the

market

value

at

which

the

position

was

sold.

Thus,

a

short

sale

of

a

security

involves

the

risk

that

instead

of

declining,

the

price

of

the

security

sold

short

will

rise.

The

short

sale

of

securities

involves

the

possibility

of

an

unlimited

loss

since

there

is

an

unlimited

potential

for

the

market

price

of

the

security

sold

short

to

increase.

A

gain

is

limited

to

the

price

at

which

a

fund

sold

the

security

short.

A

realized

gain

or

loss

is

recognized

upon

the

termination

of

a

short

sale

if

the

market

price

is

either

less

than

or

greater

than

the

proceeds

originally

received.

There

is

no

assurance

that

a

fund

will

be

able

to

close

out

a

short

position

at

a

particular

time

or

at

an

acceptable

price.

In

short

sale

transactions,

a

fund

sells

a

security

it

does

not

hold

in

anticipation

of

a

decline

in

the

market

price

of

that

security.

When

a

fund

makes

a

short

sale,

it

will

borrow

the

security

sold

short

from

a

broker/counterparty

and

deliver

the

security

to

the

purchaser. To

close

out

a

short

position,

a

fund

delivers

the

same

security

to

the

broker

and

records

a

liability

to

reflect

the

obligation

to

return

the

security

to

the

broker. The

amount

of

the

liability

is

subsequently

marked-to-market

to

reflect

the

market

value

of

the

short

sale. A

fund

maintains

a

segregated

account

of

securities

or

deposits

cash

with

the

broker-dealer

as

collateral

for

the

short

sales.

Cash

deposited

with

the

broker

is

recorded

as

an

asset

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Securities

segregated

as

collateral

are

denoted

in

the

Schedule

of

Investments. A

fund

may

pay

a

financing

fee

for

the

difference

between

the

market

value

of

the

short

position

and

the

cash

collateral

deposited

with

the

broker

which

would

be

recorded

as

interest

expense.

A

fund

is

required

to

repay

the

counterparty

any

dividends

received

on

the

security

sold

short,

which,

if

applicable,

is

shown

as

dividend

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

A

fund

may

pay

a

fee

on

the

assets

borrowed

from

the

counterparty,

which,

if

applicable,

is

shown

as

broker

fees

and

expenses

on

short

sales

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

A

fund

is

value

of

the

security

increases

beyond

the

Thus,

a

sale

of

a

security

involves

the

the

price

of

the

short

will

Futures

Contracts:

Futures

to

gain

exposure

to,

or

and

changes

in

the

value

of

.

Futures

contracts

are

exchange-traded agreements

between

the

Fund

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

Upon

entering

into

a

contract,

the

Fund

is

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

Pursuant

to

the

contract,

the

Fund

agrees

to

receive

from

pay

to

the

broker

an

amount

of

cash

equal

to

the

daily

fluctuation

in

market

value

of

the

contract

(“variation

The

use

of

involves

the

of

an

A

forward

foreign

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

Fund

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

(depreciation)

in

the

and

are

included

in

cash

for

OTC

derivatives

in

the

Statement

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.

Options:

The

Fund

may purchase

and

write

call

and

put

options

to

increase

or

decrease

its

exposure

to

the

risks

of

underlying

instruments,

including

equity

risk,

interest

rate

risk

and/or

commodity

price

risk

and/or,

in

the

case

of

options

written,

to

generate

gains

from

options

premiums.

A

call

option

gives

the

purchaser

(holder)

of

the

option

the

right

(but

not

the

obligation)

to

buy,

and

obligates

the

seller

(writer)

to

sell

(when

the

option

is

exercised)

the

underlying

instrument

at

the

exercise

or

strike

price

at

any

time

or

at

a

specified

time

during

the

option

period.

A

put

option

gives

the

holder

the

right

to

sell

and

obligates

the

writer

to

buy

the

underlying

instrument

at

the

exercise

or

strike

price

at

any

time

or

at

a

specified

time

during

the

option

period.

Premiums

paid

on

options

purchased

and

premiums

received

on

options

written,

as

well

as

the

daily

fluctuation

in

market

value,

are

included

in

investments

at

value

–

unaffiliated

and

options

written

at

value,

respectively,

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

When

an

instrument

is

purchased

or

sold

through

the

exercise

of

an

option,

the

premium

is

offset

against

the

cost

or

proceeds

of

the

underlying

instrument.

When

an

option

expires,

a

realized

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

to

the

extent

of

the

premiums

received

or

paid.

When

an

option

is

closed

or

sold,

a

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

to

the

extent

the

cost

of

the

closing

transaction

exceeds

the

premiums

received

or

paid.

When

the

Fund

writes

a

call

option,

such

option

is

typically

“covered,”

meaning

that

it

holds

the

underlying

instrument

subject

to

being

called

by

the

option

counterparty.

When

the

Fund

writes

a

put

option,

cash

is

segregated in

an

amount

sufficient

to

cover

the

obligation.

These

amounts,

which

are

considered

restricted,

are

included

in

cash

pledged

as

collateral

for

options

written

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Swaptions

–

The

Fund

may purchase

and

write

options

on

swaps

(“swaptions”)

primarily

to

preserve

a

return

or

spread

on

a

particular

investment

or

portion

of

the

Fund’s

holdings,

as

a

duration

management

technique

or

to

protect

against

an

increase

in

the

price

of

securities

it

anticipates

purchasing

at

a

later

date.

The

purchaser

and

writer

of

a

swaption

is

buying

or

granting

the

right

to

enter

into

a

previously

agreed

upon

interest

rate

or

credit

default

swap

agreement

(interest

rate

risk

and/or

credit

risk)

at

any

time

before

the

expiration

of

the

option. 

In

purchasing

and

writing

options,

the

Fund

bears

the

risk

of

an

unfavorable

change

in

the

value

of

the

underlying

instrument

or

the

risk

that

it

may

not

be

able

to

enter

into

a

closing

transaction

due

to

an

illiquid

market.

Exercise

of

a

written

option

could

result

in

the

Fund

purchasing

or

selling

a

security

when

it

otherwise

would

not,

or

at

a

price

different

from

the

current

market

value.

Swaps:

Swap

contracts

are

entered

into

to

manage

exposure

to

issuers,

markets

and

securities.

Such

contracts

are

agreements

between

the

Fund

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”).

is

recorded

as

unrealized

appreciation

(depreciation)

on

OTC

swaps

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Payments

received

or

paid

are

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

as

realized

gains

or

losses,

respectively.

When

an

OTC

swap

is

terminated,

a

realized

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

equal

to

the

difference

between

the

proceeds

from

(or

cost

of)

the

closing

transaction

and

the

Fund’s

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 Fund’s

counterparty

on

the

swap.

The

Fund

is

required

to

interface

with

the

CCP

through

the

broker.

Upon

entering

into

a

centrally

cleared

swap,

the

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

Schedule

of

Investments

and

cash

deposited

is

shown

as

cash

which

are

considered

cash,

are

included

in

cash

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

Pursuant

to

the

contract,

the

Fund

agrees

to

or

certain

sectors

of

the

or

to

create

exposure

to

corporate

and/or

issuers

to

which

a

The

Fund

may

either

buy

(write)

credit

default

swaps

on

single-name

issuers

(corporate

or

sovereign),

a

combination

or

basket

of

single-name

Credit

default

swaps

are

agreements

in

which

the

protection

buyer

pays

fixed

periodic

payments

to

the

seller

in

consideration

for

a

promise

from

the

take

place

with

respect

to

the

entity

(e.g.,

bankruptcy,

failure

obligation

acceleration,

repudiation,

moratorium

or

restructuring).

As

a

buyer,

if

an

occurs,

the

Fund

will

either

(i)

receive

from

the

an

amount

equal

to

the

Total

return

swaps

—

Total

return

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).

Total

return

swaps

are

agreements

in

which

there

is

an

exchange

of

cash

flows

whereby

one

party

commits

to

make

payments

based

on

the

total

return

(distributions

plus

capital

gains/losses)

of

an

underlying

instrument,

or

basket

of

underlying

instruments,

in

exchange

for

fixed

or

floating

rate

interest

payments.

If

the

total

return

of

the

instrument(s)

or

index

underlying

the

transaction

exceeds

or

falls

short

of

the

offsetting

fixed

or

floating

interest

rate

obligation,

the

Fund

receives

payment

from

or

makes

a

payment

to

the

counterparty.

Certain

total

return

swaps

are

designed

to

function

as

a

portfolio

of

direct

investments

in

long

and

short

equity

positions.

This

means

that

the

Fund

has

the

ability

to

trade

in

and

out

of

these

long

and

short

positions

within

the

swap

and

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,

all

of

which

are

reflected

in

the

swap’s

market

value.

The

market

value

also

includes

interest

charges

and

credits

(“financing

fees”)

related

to

the

notional

values

of

the

long

and

short

positions

and

cash

balances

within

the

swap.

These

interest

charges

and

credits

are

based

on

a

specified

benchmark

rate

plus

or

minus

a

specified

spread

determined

based

upon

the

country

and/or

currency

of

the

positions

in

the

portfolio.

Positions

within

the

swap

and

financing

fees

are

reset

periodically.

During

a

reset,

any

unrealized

appreciation

(depreciation)

on

positions

and

accrued

financing

fees

become

available

for

cash

settlement

between

the

Fund

and

the

counterparty.

The

amounts

that

are

available

for

cash

settlement

are

recorded

as

realized

gains

or

losses

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

Cash

settlement

in

and

out

of

the

swap

may

occur

at

a

reset

date

or

any

other

date,

at

the

discretion

of

the

Fund

and

the

counterparty,

over

the

life

of

the

agreement.

Certain

swaps

have

no

stated

expiration

and

can

be

terminated

by

either

party

at

any

time.

Interest

rate

swaps

—

Interest

rate

swaps

are

entered

into

to

gain

or

reduce

exposure

to

interest

rates

or

to

manage

duration,

the

yield

curve

or

interest

rate

(interest

rate

risk).

Interest

rate

swaps

are

agreements

in

which

one

party

pays

a

stream

of

interest

payments,

either

fixed

or

floating,

in

exchange

for

another

party’s

stream

of

interest

payments,

either

fixed

or

floating,

on

the

same

notional

amount

for

a

specified

period

of

time.

In

more

complex

interest

rate

swaps,

the

notional

principal

amount

may

decline

(or

amortize)

over

time.

Swap

transactions

involve,

to

varying

degrees,

elements

of

interest

rate,

credit

and

market

risks

in

excess

of

the

amounts

recognized

in

the

Statement

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, the

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 the

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, the

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.

Notes

to

Financial

Statements

(continued)

2024

BlackRock

Annual

Financial

Statements

52

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

Fund

and

cash

collateral

received

from

the

counterparty,

if

any,

is

reported

separately

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities

as

cash

pledged

as

collateral

and

cash

received

as

collateral,

respectively.

Non-cash

collateral

pledged

by

the

Fund,

if

any,

is

noted

in

the

Schedule

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

Fund.

Any

additional

required

collateral

is

delivered

to/pledged

by

the

Fund

on

the

next

business

day.

Typically,

the

counterparty

is

not

permitted

to

sell,

re-pledge

or

use

cash

and

non-cash

collateral

it

receives.

The

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

Fund

from the

counterparties

are

not

fully

collateralized, the

Fund bears

the

risk

of

loss

from

counterparty

non-performance.

Likewise,

to

the

extent

the

Fund

has

delivered

collateral

to

a

counterparty

and

stands

ready

to

perform

under

the

terms

of

its

agreement

with

such

counterparty, the

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

Fund

does

not

offset

derivative

assets

and

derivative

liabilities

that

are

subject

to

netting

arrangements,

if

any,

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

policies

and

restrictions.

The

Fund

to

borrow

and

under

the

Interfund

rate

to

be

charged

will

be

the

average

of

the

recessions,

or

other

events

could

have

a

significant

impact

on

the

Fund

and its

investments.

The

Fund’s

prospectus

provides

details

of

the

risks

to

which

the

Fund

is

subject. 

Market Risk:

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

prepayment

risk,

which

is

the

risk

that

borrowers

may

exercise

their

option

to

prepay

principal

earlier

than

scheduled

during

periods

of

declining

interest

rates,

which

would

force

the

Fund

to

reinvest

in

lower

yielding

securities. The

Fund

may

also

be

exposed

to

reinvestment

risk,

which

is

the

risk

that

income

from

the

Fund’s

portfolio

will

decline

if

the Fund

invests

the

proceeds

from

matured,

traded

or

called

fixed-income

securities

at

market

interest

rates

that

are

below

the

Fund

portfolio’s

current

earnings

rate.

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. The

Fund

may

invest

in

illiquid

investments.

An

illiquid

investment

is

any

investment

that the

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. The

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

the

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 the

Fund

may

lose

value,

regardless

of

the

individual

results

of

the

securities

and

other

instruments

in

which the

Fund

invests. 

The

price the

Fund

could

receive

upon

the

sale

of

any

particular

portfolio

investment

may

differ

from the

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

the

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 the

Fund,

and the

Fund

could

realize

a

greater

than

expected

loss

or

lesser

than

expected

gain

upon

the

sale

of

the

investment. The

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. 

Counterparty

Credit

Risk:

The

Fund

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

Fund

manages

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

Fund

to

market,

issuer

and

counterparty

credit

risks,

receivables

due

from

counterparties.

The

extent

of

the

Fund’s

exposure

to

market,

issuer

and

counterparty

credit

risks

with

respect

to

these

financial

assets

is

approximately

their

value

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities,

less

any

collateral

held

by

the

Fund. 

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.

For

OTC

options

purchased,

the

Fund

bears

the

risk

of

loss

in

the

amount

of

the

premiums

paid

plus

the

positive

change

in

market

values

net

of

any

collateral

held

by

the

Fund

should

the

counterparty

fail

to

perform

under

the

contracts.

Options

written

by

the

Fund

do

not

typically

give

rise

to

counterparty

credit

risk,

as

options

written

generally

obligate

the

Fund,

and

not

the

counterparty,

to

perform.

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

counterparty

credit

risk

with

respect

to

options

written

to

the

extent

the

Fund

deposits

collateral

with

its

counterparty

to

a

written

option. 

With

exchange-traded

options

purchased

and

exchange-traded

futures

and

centrally

cleared

swaps,

there

is

less

counterparty

credit

risk

to

the

Fund

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, the

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

and

centrally

cleared

swaps 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

Fund. 

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

the

Fund’s

portfolio

are

disclosed

in

its Schedule

of

Investments.

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in

high

yield

securities.

High

yield

securities

that

are

rated

below

investment-grade

(commonly

referred

to

as

“junk

bonds”)

or

are

unrated

may

be

deemed

speculative,

involve

greater

levels

of

risk

than

higher-rated

securities

of

similar

maturity

and

are

more

likely

to

default.

High

yield

securities

may

be

issued

by

less

creditworthy

issuers,

and

issuers

of

high

yield

securities

may

be

unable

to

meet

their

interest

or

principal

payment

obligations.

High

yield

securities

are

subject

to

extreme

price

fluctuations,

may

be

less

liquid

than

higher

rated

fixed-income

securities,

even

under

normal

economic

conditions,

and

frequently

have

redemption

features. 

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in fixed-income securities and/or uses

derivatives tied

to

the

fixed-income

markets.

Changes

in

market

interest

rates

or

economic

conditions

may affect

the

value

and/or

liquidity

of

such investments.

Interest

rate

risk

is

the

risk

that

prices

of

bonds

and

other

fixed-income

securities

will

decrease

as

interest

rates

rise

and

increase

as

interest

rates

fall.

The

Fund

may

be

subject

to

a

greater

risk

of

rising

interest

rates

during

a

period

of

historically

low

interest

rates. The

Federal

Reserve

has

raised

the

federal

funds

rate

as

part

of

its

efforts

to

address

inflation.

Changing

interest

rates

may

have

unpredictable

effects

on

markets,

may

result

in

heightened

market

volatility,

and

could

negatively

impact

the

Fund’s

performance.

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

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

Fund

invests.

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in

securities

of

issuers

located

in

Europe

or

with

significant

exposure

to

European

issuers

or

countries.

The

European

financial

markets

have

recently

experienced

volatility

and

adverse

trends

due

to

concerns

about

economic

downturns

in,

or

rising

government

debt

levels

of,

several

European

countries

as

well

as

acts

of

war

in

the

region.

These

events

may

spread

to

other

countries

in

Europe

and

may

affect

the

value

and

liquidity

of

certain

of

the

Fund’s

investments. 

Responses

to

the

financial

problems

by

European

governments,

central

banks

and

others,

including

austerity

measures

and

reforms,

may

not

work,

may

result

in

social

unrest

and

may

limit

future

growth

and

economic

recovery

or

have

other

unintended

consequences.

Further

defaults

or

restructurings

by

governments

and

others

of

their

debt

could

have

additional

adverse

effects

on

economies,

financial

markets

and

asset

valuations

around

the

world.

The

United

Kingdom

has

withdrawn

from

the

European

Union,

and

one

or

more

other

countries

may

withdraw

from

the

European

Union

and/or

abandon

the

Euro,

the

common

currency

of

the

European

Union.

These

events

and

actions

have

adversely

affected,

and

may

in

the

future

adversely

affect,

the

value

and

exchange

rate

of

the

Euro

and

may

continue

to

significantly

affect

the

economies

of

every

country

in

Europe,

including

countries

that

do

not

use

the

Euro

and

non-European

Union

member

states. The

impact

of

these

actions,

especially

if

they

occur

in

a

disorderly

fashion,

is

not

clear

but

could

be

significant

and

far

reaching.

In

addition,

Russia

launched

a

large-scale

invasion

of

Ukraine

on

February

24,

2022.

The

extent

and

duration

of

the

military

action,

resulting

sanctions

and

resulting

future

market

disruptions

in

the

region

are

impossible

to

predict,

but

have

been,

and

may

continue

to

be,

significant

and

have

a

severe

adverse

effect

on

the

region,

including

significant

negative

impacts

on

the

economy

and

the

markets

for

certain

securities

and

commodities,

such

as

oil

and

natural

gas,

as

well

as

other

sectors.

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

Fund

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

Notes

LIBOR,

has

ceased

but

some

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

U.S.

regulations

that

implement

a

statutory

fallback

mechanism

to

replace

LIBOR,

benchmark

rates

based

on

SOFR

have

replaced

LIBOR

in

certain

financial

contracts.

The

ultimate

effect

of

the

LIBOR

process

on

the

Fund

is

uncertain.

Opinion

on

the

Financial

Statements

We

have

audited

the

accompanying

statement

of

assets

and

liabilities,

including

the

schedule

of

investments,

of

BlackRock

Global

Long/Short

Credit

Fund

(one

of

the

funds

referred

to

hereafter

as

the

"Fund")

as

of

July

31,

2024,

the

related

statement

of

operations

for

the

year

ended

July

31,

2024,

the

statement

of

changes

in

net

for

each

the

two

years

in

the

period

July

31,

2024,

including

the

related

notes,

and

the

of

the

five

years

in

the

period

ended

July

31,

2024

(collectively

referred

to

as

the

“financial

statements”).

In

our

opinion,

the

financial

statements

present

fairly,

in

all

material

respects,

the

financial

position

of

the

Fund

as

of

July

31,

2024,

the

results

of

its

operations

for

the

year

then

ended,

the

changes

in

its

net

assets

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

ended

July

31,

2024

and

the

financial

highlights

for

each

of

the

five

years

in

the

period

conformity

with

principles

generally

Basis

for

Opinion

These

financial

statements

are

the

responsibility

of

the

Fund’s

management.

Our

responsibility

is

to

express

an

opinion

on

the

Fund’s

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

Fund

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

July

31,

2024

by

correspondence

with

the

custodian,

transfer

agent,

agent

banks

and

brokers;

when

replies

were

not

received

from

agent

banks

and

brokers,

we

performed

other

auditing

procedures.

We

believe

that

our

audits

provide

a

reasonable

basis

for

our

opinion.

(the

met

on

May

3,

2024

(the

“May

Meeting”)

and

June

6-7,

2024

(the

“June

Meeting”)

to

consider

the

between

Credit

Fund

(the

and

LLC

(the

Board

also

considered

approval

to

continue

the

sub-advisory

agreements

(the

Agreements”)

between

(1)

the

Manager

and

Limited

(“BIL”),

with

respect

and

(2)

BlackRock

Limited

(“BRS”

and

together

with

respect

The

and

are

referred

herein

as

“BlackRock.”

The

Advisory

Agreement

and

the

Sub-Advisory

Agreements

are

referred

to

herein

as

the

“Agreements.”

The

Approval

Process

Consistent

with

the

requirements

of

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940

(the

“1940

Act”),

the

Board

considers

the

approval

of

the

continuation

of

the

Agreements

for

the

Fund

on

an

annual

basis.

The

Board

members

who

are

not

“interested

persons”

of

the

Trust,

as

defined

in

the

1940

Act,

are

considered

independent

Board

members

(the

“Independent

Board

Members”).

The

Board’s

consideration

entailed

a

year-long

deliberative

process

during

which

the

Board

and

its

committees

assessed

BlackRock’s

various

services

to

the

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.

The

Board

had

four

quarterly

meetings

per

year,

each

of

which

extended

over

a

two-day

period,

as

well

as

additional

ad

hoc

meetings

and

executive

sessions

throughout

the

year,

as

needed.

The

committees

of

the

Board

similarly

met

the

year.

The

Board

also

had

an

additional

one-day

meeting

to

consider

specific

information

regarding

the

renewal

of

the

Agreements.

In

considering

the

renewal

of

the

Agreements,

the

Board

assessed,

among

other

things,

independent

legal

counsel,

During

the

the

Board,

acting

relating

to

its

noted

the

Agreements

A.

Nature,

Extent

and

Quality

of

the

Services

Provided

by

BlackRock

The

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

the

Fund.

Throughout

the

year,

the

Board

compared

Fund

performance

to

the

performance

of

a

comparable

group

of

mutual

funds,

relevant

benchmarks,

and

performance

metrics,

as

applicable.

The

Board

met

with

BlackRock’s

senior

management

personnel

responsible

for

investment

activities,

including

the

senior

investment

officers.

The

Board

also

reviewed

the

materials

provided

by

the

Fund’s

portfolio

management

team

discussing

the

Fund’s

performance,

investment

strategies

and

outlook.

The

Board

considered,

among

other

factors,

with

respect

to

BlackRock:

the

experience

of

the

Fund’s

portfolio

management

team;

research

capabilities;

investments

by

portfolio

managers

in

the

funds

they

manage;

portfolio

trading

capabilities;

use

of

technology;

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.

The

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.

The

Board

engaged

in

a

review

of

BlackRock’s

compensation

structure

with

respect

to

the

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,

the

Board

considered

the

nature

and

quality

of

the

administrative

and

other

non-investment

advisory

services

provided

to

the

Fund.

BlackRock

and

its

affiliates

provide

the

Fund

with

certain

administrative,

shareholder

and

other

services

(in

addition

to

any

such

services

provided

to

the

Fund

by

third

parties)

and

officers

and

other

personnel

as

are

necessary

for

the

operations

of

the

Fund.

In

particular,

BlackRock

and

its

affiliates

provide

the

Fund

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,

the

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

Fund,

such

as

tax

reporting,

expense

management,

fulfilling

regulatory

filing

requirements,

overseeing

the

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

considered

the

operation

of

BlackRock’s

business

continuity

plans.

The

Board

noted

that

the

engagement

of

the

Sub-Advisors

with

respect

to

the

Fund

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

Fund

and

its

shareholders.

B.

The

Investment

Performance

of

the

Fund

The

Board,

including

the

Independent

Board

Members,

reviewed

and

considered

the

performance

history

of

the

Fund

throughout

the

year

and

at

the

May

Meeting.

In

preparation

for

the

May

Meeting,

the

Board

was

provided

with

reports

independently

prepared

by

Broadridge,

which

included

an

analysis

of

the

Fund’s

performance

as

of

December

31,

2023,

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,

the

Board

received

and

reviewed

information

regarding

the

investment

performance

of

the

Fund

as

compared

to

its

Performance

Peers

and,

in

light

of

the

Fund’s

outcome-oriented

investment

objective,

certain

performance

metrics

(“Outcome-Oriented

Performance

Metrics”).

The

Board

and

its

Performance

Oversight

Committee

regularly

review

and

meet

with

Fund

management

to

discuss

the

performance

of

the

Fund

throughout

the

year.

In

evaluating

performance,

the

Board

focused

particular

attention

on

funds

with

less

favorable

performance

records.

The

Board

also

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,

the

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.

The

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.

The

Board

reviewed

and

considered

the

Fund’s

performance

relative

to

the

Fund’s

Outcome-Oriented

Performance

Metrics,

including

a

total

return

target.

The

Board

noted

that

for

the

one-,

three-,

and

five-year

periods

reported,

the

Fund

outperformed,

underperformed

and

underperformed,

respectively,

its

total

return

target.

The

Board

noted

that

BlackRock

believes

that

the

Outcome-Oriented

Performance

Metrics

are

an

appropriate

performance

metric

for

the

Fund,

and

that

BlackRock

has

explained

its

rationale

for

this

belief

to

the

Board.

The

Board

and

BlackRock

reviewed

the

Fund’s

underperformance

relative

to

its

total

return

target

during

the

applicable

periods.

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

Fund

The

Board,

including

the

Independent

Board

Members,

reviewed

the

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.

The

Board

also

compared

the

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

Board

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

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).

and

Sub-Advisory

Agreements

(continued)

2024

BlackRock

Annual

Financial

Statements

64

The

Board

received

and

reviewed

statements

relating

to

BlackRock’s

financial

condition.

The

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

the

Fund.

The

Board

reviewed

BlackRock’s

estimated

profitability

with

respect

to

the

Fund

and

other

funds

the

Board

currently

oversees

for

the

year

ended

December

31,

2023

compared

to

available

aggregate

estimated

profitability

data

provided

for

the

prior

two

years.

The

Board

reviewed

BlackRock’s

estimated

profitability

with

respect

to

certain

other

U.S.

fund

complexes

managed

by

the

Manager

and/or

its

affiliates.

The

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.

The

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.

The

Board

thus

recognized

that

calculating

and

comparing

profitability

at

the

individual

fund

level

is

difficult.

The

Board

noted

that,

in

general,

individual

fund

or

product

line

profitability

of

other

advisors

is

not

publicly

available.

The

Board

reviewed

BlackRock’s

overall

operating

margin,

in

general,

compared

to

that

of

certain

other

publicly

traded

asset

management

firms.

The

Board

considered

the

differences

between

BlackRock

and

these

other

firms,

including

the

contribution

of

technology

at

BlackRock,

BlackRock’s

expense

management,

and

the

relative

product

mix.

The

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

Board

further

considered

factors

including

but

not

limited

to

BlackRock’s

commitment

of

time

and

resources,

assumption

of

risk,

and

liability

profile

in

servicing

the

Fund,

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

noted

that

the

Fund’s

contractual

management

fee

rate

ranked

in

the

fourth

quartile,

and

that

the

actual

management

fee

rate

and

total

expense

ratio

each

ranked

in

the

fourth

quartile

relative

to

the

Fund’s

Expense

Peers.

The

Board

also

noted,

however,

that

given

the

comparability

limitations

of

the

Expense

Peers,

BlackRock

provided

the

Board

a

supplemental

peer

group

consisting

of

funds

that

BlackRock

believes

are

generally

similar

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

noted

that

the

Fund’s

actual

management

fee

rate

and

total

expense

ratio

ranked

in

the

fourth

and

third

quartiles,

respectively,

relative

to

the

supplemental

peer

group.

The

Board

also

noted

that

the

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

Fund

decreases

below

certain

contractually

specified

levels.

Additionally,

the

Board

noted

that

BlackRock

and

the

Board

have

contractually

agreed

to

a

cap

on

the

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

The

Board,

including

the

Independent

Board

Members,

considered

the

extent

to

which

any

economies

of

scale

might

benefit

the

Fund

in

a

variety

of

ways

as

the

assets

of

the

Fund

increase.

The

Board

considered

multiple

factors,

including

the

advisory

fee

rate

and

breakpoints,

unitary

fee

structure,

fee

waivers,

and/or

expense

caps,

as

applicable.

The

Board

considered

the

Fund’s

asset

levels

and

whether

the

current

fee

schedule

was

appropriate.

E.

Other

Factors

Deemed

Relevant

by

the

Board

Members

The

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

Fund,

both

tangible

and

intangible,

such

as

BlackRock’s

ability

to

leverage

its

investment

professionals

who

manage

other

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

Fund,

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

Board

also

considered

BlackRock’s

overall

operations

and

its

efforts

to

expand

the

scale

of,

and

improve

the

quality

of,

its

operations.

The

Board

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

Board

also

received

information

regarding

BlackRock’s

brokerage

and

soft

dollar

practices.

The

Board

received

reports

from

BlackRock

which

included

information

on

brokerage

commissions

and

trade

execution

practices

throughout

the

year.

The

Board

noted

the

competitive

nature

of

the

open-end

fund

marketplace,

and

that

shareholders

are

able

to

redeem

their

Fund

shares

if

they

believe

that

the

Fund’s

fees

and

expenses

are

too

high

or

if

they

are

dissatisfied

with

the

performance

of

the

Fund.

Conclusion

At

the

June

Meeting,

in

a

continuation

of

the

discussions

that

occurred

during

the

May

Meeting,

and

as

a

culmination

of

the

Board’s

year-long

deliberative

process,

the

Board,

including

the

Independent

Board

Members,

unanimously

approved

the

continuation

of

the

Advisory

Agreement

between

the

Manager

and

the

Trust,

on

behalf

of

the

Fund,

for

a

one-year

term

ending

June

30,

2025,

and

the

Sub-Advisory

Agreements

between

the

Manager

and

the

Sub-Advisors,

with

respect

to

the

Fund,

for

a

one-year

term

ending

June

30,

2025.

Based

upon

its

evaluation

of

all

of

the

aforementioned

factors

in

their

totality,

as

well

as

other

information,

the

Board,

including

the

Independent

Board

Members,

was

satisfied

that

the

terms

of

the

Agreements

were

fair

and

reasonable

and

in

the

best

interest

of

the

Fund

and

its

shareholders.

In

arriving

at

its

decision

to

approve

the

Agreements,

the

Board

did

not

identify

any

single

factor

or

group

of

factors

as

all-important

or

controlling,

but

considered

all

factors

together,

and

different

Board

Members

may

have

attributed

different

weights

to

the

various

factors

considered.

The

Independent

Board

Members

were

advised

by

independent

legal

counsel

throughout

the

deliberative

process.
