As described in the “Management of the Funds” section of the Fund’s prospectus beginning on page 47, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive the management fee with respect to any portion of the Fund’s assets estimated to be attributable to investments in other equity and fixed-income mutual funds and exchange-traded funds managed by BlackRock or its affiliates that have a contractual management fee, through January 31, 2021. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the non-interested trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

As described in the “Management of the Funds” section of the Fund’s prospectus beginning on page 47, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements (excluding Dividend Expense, Interest Expense, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and certain other Fund expenses) as a percentage of average daily net assets to 1.32% (for Investor A Shares), 2.04% (for Investor C Shares), and 0.91% (for Institutional Shares) through January 31, 2021.

Example:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


      1 Year        3 Years        5 Years        10 Years  
Investor A Shares    $ 652        $ 953        $ 1,276        $ 2,188  
Investor C Shares    $ 307        $ 673        $ 1,165        $ 2,521  
Institutional Shares    $ 93        $ 331        $ 588        $ 1,323  

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

 

      1 Year        3 Years        5 Years        10 Years  
Investor C Shares    $ 207        $ 673        $ 1,165        $ 2,521  

Portfolio Turnover:

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.
