Dear
Shareholder,
The
12-month
reporting
period
as
of
March
31,
2021
reflected
a
remarkable
period
of
disruption
and
adaptation,
as
the
global
economy
dealt
with
the
implications
of
the
coronavirus
(or
“COVID-19”)
pandemic.
As
the
period
began,
the
response
to
the
virus’s
spread
was
well
underway,
and
countries
around
the
world
instituted
economically
disruptive
countermeasures.
Stay-at-home
orders
and
closures
of
non-essential
businesses
became
widespread,
many
workers
were
laid
off,
and
unemployment
claims
spiked,
causing
a
global
recession
and
a
sharp
fall
in
equity
prices.
As
April
2020
began,
stocks
were
near
their
lowest
point
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
However,
a
steady
recovery
began,
as
businesses
started
re-opening
and
governments
learned
to
adapt
to
life
with
the
virus.
Equity
prices
continued
to
rise
throughout
the
summer,
fed
by
strong
fiscal
and
monetary
support
and
improving
economic
indicators.
Many
equity
indices
neared
or
surpassed
all-time
highs
late
in
the
reporting
period
following
the
implementation
of
mass
vaccination
campaigns
and
passage
of
an
additional
$1.9
trillion
of
fiscal
stimulus.
In
the
United
States,
both
large-
and
small-capitalization
stocks
posted
a
significant
advance.
International
equities
also
gained,
as
both
developed
countries
and
emerging
markets
rebounded
substantially.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
(which
is
inversely
related
to
bond
prices)
was
near
all-time
lows
as
the
period
began,
reflecting
a
reduced
investor
appetite
for
risk.
However,
inflation
concerns
from
a
rapidly
expanding
economy
raised
yields
late
in
the
reporting
period,
leading
to
a
negative
overall
return
for
most
U.S.
Treasuries.
In
the
corporate
bond
market,
support
from
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”)
assuaged
credit
concerns
and
led
to
positive
returns
for
corporate
bonds,
particularly
high-yield
corporates,
which
gained
substantially.
The
Fed
remained
committed
to
accommodative
monetary
policy
by
maintaining
near
zero
interest
rates
and
by
announcing
that
inflation
could
exceed
its
2%
target
for
a
sustained
period
without
triggering
a
rate
increase.
To
stabilize
credit
markets,
the
Fed
also
continued
purchasing
significant
quantities
of
bonds,
as
did
other
influential
central
banks
around
the
world,
including
the
European
Central
Bank
and
the
Bank
of
Japan.
Looking
ahead,
while
coronavirus-related
disruptions
have
clearly
hindered
worldwide
economic
growth,
we
believe
that
the
global
expansion
will
continue
to
accelerate
as
vaccination
efforts
ramp
up
and
pent-up
consumer
demand
leads
to
higher
spending.
In
early
2021,
President
Biden
signed
one
of
the
largest
economic
rescue
packages
in
U.S.
history,
which
should
provide
a
solid
tailwind
for
economic
growth.
In
our
view,
inflation
is
likely
to
increase
somewhat
as
the
expansion
continues,
but
moderate
inflation
is
less
likely
to
be
followed
by
interest
rate
hikes
that
could
threaten
the
economic
expansion
due
to
the
change
in
Fed
policy.
Overall,
we
favor
a
positive
stance
toward
risk,
with
an
overweight
in
equities.
We
see
U.S.
and
Asian
equities
outside
of
Japan
benefiting
from
structural
growth
trends
in
technology,
while
emerging
markets
should
be
particularly
helped
by
a
vaccine-led
economic
expansion.
While
we
are
neutral
overall
on
credit,
rising
inflation
should
provide
tailwinds
for
inflation-protected
bonds,
and
global
high-yield
and
Asian
bonds
also
present
attractive
opportunities.
We
believe
that
international
diversification
and
a
focus
on
sustainability
can
help
provide
portfolio
resilience,
and
the
disruption
created
by
the
coronavirus
appears
to
be
accelerating
the
shift
toward
sustainable
investments.
In
this
environment,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
extend
their
scope
across
a
broad
array
of
asset
classes,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.
We
encourage
you
to
talk
with
your
financial
advisor
and

further
insight
about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

Overview
For
the
12-Month
Period
Ended
on
March
31,
2021
2021
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
4
During
the
12-month
period
ended
March
31,
2021,
the
Federal
Open
Market
Committee
(the
“FOMC”
or,
the
“Committee”)
left
the
range
for
the
Federal
Funds
target
rate
unchanged
at
0.00%--0.25%,
which
has
been
the
range
since
the
emergency
cuts
were
made
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
Throughout
the
course
of
this
period,
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell
maintained
the
position
that
“the
path
of
the
economy
will
depend
significantly
on
the
course
of
the
virus,”
and
reiterated
the
commitment
to
the
Committee’s
accommodative
policies
to
help
the
U.S.
economy
achieve
pre-pandemic
employment
levels.
During
its
December
16,
2020
meeting,
the
FOMC
stated
it
“will
continue
to
increase
its
holdings
of
Treasury
securities
by
at
least
$80
billion
per
month
and
of
agency
mortgage-backed
securities
by
at
least
$40
billion
per
month
until
substantial
further
progress
has
been
made
toward
the
Committee’s
maximum
employment
and
price
stability
goals.”
At
its
most
recent
Committee
meeting
on
March
17,
2021,
the
FOMC
released
a
statement
to
note
that
“indicators
of
economic
activity
and
employment
have
turned
up
recently,
although
the
sectors
most
adversely
affected
by
the
pandemic
remain
weak.”
The
summary
of
economic
projections
was
also
released
alongside
this
meeting
and
reflected
upgraded
forecasts
for
economic
growth
and
employment
relative
to
the
December
2020
projections.
Inflation
was
estimated
to
be
at
or
above
the
FOMC’s
2%
target
over
the
forecast
horizon.
However,
the
Fed’s
“dot
plot”
reflected
no
change
in
the
median
Federal
Funds
target
rate
through
2023.
As
of
March
31,
2021,
Treasury
bill
tenors
between
one-month
and
one-year
traded
between
0.01%
and
0.06%.
For
reference,
Treasury
bills
of
the
same
tenors
traded
between
0.12%
and
0.15%
as
of
June
30,
2020.
Rates
continuously
trended
lower
during
the
period
as
a
result
of
a
consistent
reduction
in
net
supply,
front-end
inflows,
solid
demand
and
elevated
levels
of
liquidity.
Credit
supply
in
the
front-end
was
lackluster
for
much
of
the
period
as
issuers
capitalized
on
the
zero-rate
environment
to
issuer
longer-dated
debt.
This
caused
a
supply
and
demand
imbalance
in
the
front-end,
leading
to
rich
valuations
and
tighter
spreads.
Credit
spreads
steadily
contracted
after
spiking
to
record-high
levels
at
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
amid
market
stress
and
volatility.
The
three-month
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
overnight
indexed
swap
spread
(a
gauge
of
stress
in
the
financial
system)
contracted
to
0.12%
as
of
March
31,
2021
from
1.37%
as
of
April
1,
2020.
With
respect
to
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
portfolio
positioning
as
of
March
31,
2021
expressed
our
outlook
for
decreased
supply
and
increased
demand
for
money
market
assets
continuing
to
pressure
yields
lower
through
much
of
2021.
The
Fund’s
portfolio
purchases
were
focused
on
longer-dated
fixed
and
floating
rate
commercial
paper
and
certificates
of
deposit
from
issuers
that
exhibited
better-than-average
performance
with
regard
to
the
environment.
To
take
advantage
of
the
relative
value
spread
between
fixed
and
floating
rate
investments,
the
portfolio’s
allocation
to
floating
rate
instruments
increased
to
36%
as
of
March
31,
2021
as
compared
to
17%
at
the
beginning
of
the
12-month
period.

BlackRock

Investment
Objective
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund’s
(the
"Fund")
investment
objective
is
to
seek
as
high
a
level
of
current
income
as
is
consistent
with
liquidity
and
preservation
of
capital
while
giving
consideration
to
select
environmental
criteria.
Disclosure
of
Expenses
Shareholders
of
the
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(a)
transactional
expenses;
and
(b)
operating
expenses,
including
investment
advisory
fees,
administration
fees, service
and
distribution
fees, and
other
fund
expenses.
The
expense
example
shown below
(which
is
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
on October
1,
2020 and
held
through
March
31,
2021)
is
intended
to
assist
shareholders
both
in
calculating
expenses
based
on
an
investment
in
the
Fund
and
in
comparing
these
expenses
with
similar
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
expense
example
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
In
order
to
estimate
the
expenses
a
shareholder
paid
during
the
period
covered
by
this
report,
shareholders
can
divide
their
account
value
by
$1,000
and
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
corresponding
to
their share
class
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the
Period.” 
The
expense
example
also
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses.
In
order
to
assist
shareholders
in
comparing
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds. 
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
example
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges,
if
any.
Therefore,
the
hypothetical
example is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
expenses
only,
and
will
not
help
shareholders
determine
the
relative
total
expenses
of
owning
different
funds.
If
these
transactional
expenses
were
included,
shareholder
expenses
would
have
been
higher.

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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets.
Distributions:
Distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
daily
and
paid
monthly.
Distributions
of
capital
gains
are
distributed
at
least
annually
and
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP
Liquidity
Fees:
Any
liquidity
fees
imposed
on
the
value
of
shares
redeemed
in
the
event
that
the
Fund’s
weekly
liquid
assets
fall
below
certain
thresholds
are
recorded
as
paid-in-capital.
The
liquidity
fees
are
collected
and
retained
by
the
Fund
for
the
benefit
of the
Fund’s
remaining
shareholders. 
Offering
Costs:
Offering
costs
are
amortized
over
a
12-month
period
beginning
with
the
commencement
of
operations
of
a
class
of
shares.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
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
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.  
The
Fund
has
an
arrangement
with
its
custodian
whereby
credits
are
earned
on
uninvested
cash
balances,
which
could
be
used
to
reduce
custody
fees
and/or
overdraft
charges.
The
Fund
may
incur
charges
on
overdrafts,
subject
to
certain
conditions.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
the
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
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
under
the
amortized
cost
method
which
approximates
current
market
value
in
accordance
with
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
Under
this
method,
investments
are
valued
at
cost
when
purchased
and,
thereafter,
a
constant
proportionate
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
are
recorded
until
the
maturity
of
the
security.
The
Fund
seeks
to
maintain
its
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share
at
$1.00,
although
there
is
no
assurance
that
it
will
be
able
to
do
so
on
a
continuing
basis.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
the
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities: 
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.
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.
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
amortized
cost,
which
approximates
market
value. 
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
Global
Valuation
Committee's assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments).
The
hierarchy
gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level
3
measurements).
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
fair
value
hierarchy
classification
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety. The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Repurchase
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
are
commitments
to
purchase
a
security
from
a
counterparty
who
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
security
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
On
a
daily
basis,
the
counterparty
is
required
to
maintain
collateral
subject
to
the
agreement
and
in
value
no
less
than
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
amount.
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
traded
bilaterally,
in
a
tri-party
arrangement
or
may
be
centrally
cleared
through
a
sponsoring
agent.
Subject
to
the
custodial
undertaking
associated
with
a
tri-party
repurchase
arrangement
and
for
centrally
cleared
repurchase
agreements,
a
third
party
custodian
maintains
accounts
to
hold
collateral
for a
fund
and
its
counterparties.
Typically,
a
fund
and
counterparty
are
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
absent
a
default
by
the
counterparty
or the
fund,
respectively. 
In
the
event
the
counterparty
defaults
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines, a
fund
could
experience
losses,
delays
and
costs
in
liquidating
the
collateral.
Repurchase
agreements
are
entered
into
by a
fund
under
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(each,
an
“MRA”).
The
MRA
permits the
fund,
under
certain
circumstances
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
by
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty.
As
a
result,
one
single
net
payment
is
created.
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.
Based
on
the
terms
of
the
MRA, the
fund
receives
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price
at
maturity.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
the
fund
would
recognize
a
liability
with
respect
to
such
excess
collateral.
The
liability
reflects
the
fund’s
obligation
under
bankruptcy
law
to
return
the
excess
to
the
counterparty.

INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required. 
The
Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
the
Fund's
U.S.
federal
tax
returns
generally
remains
open
for
a
period
of
three
fiscal
years
after
they
are
filed.
The
statutes
of
limitations
on
the
Fund’s
state
and
local
tax
returns
may
remain
open
for
an
additional
year
depending
upon
the
jurisdiction. 
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the Fund
as
of
March
31,
2021,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Fund's
financial
statements.
U.S.
GAAP
requires
that
certain
components
of
net
assets
be
adjusted
to
reflect
permanent
differences
between
financial
and
tax
reporting.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
NAVs
per
share.
As
of
period
end,
the
following
permanent
differences
attributable
to
nondeductible
expenses
were
reclassified

 PRINCIPAL
RISKS 
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
the
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
among
others,
fluctuations
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
an
issuer
to
meet
all
of
its
obligations.
The
value
of
securities
or
other
instruments
may
also
be
affected
by
various
factors,
including,
without
limitation:
(i)
the
general
economy;
(ii)
the
overall
market
as
well
as
local,
regional
or
global
political
and/or
social
instability;
(iii)
regulation,
taxation
or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
and
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and its
investments.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
the
Fund
is
subject. 
Certain
obligations
held
by
the
Fund
have
a
credit
enhancement
or
liquidity
feature
that
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
provide
for
repayment
of
principal
and
interest
on
the
obligation
when
due. These
enhancements,
which
may
include
letters
of
credit,
stand-by
bond
purchase
agreements
and/or
third
party
insurance,
are
issued
by
financial
institutions. The
value
of
the
obligations
may
be
affected
by
changes
in
creditworthiness
of
the
entities
that
provide
the
credit
enhancements
or
liquidity
features. The
Fund
monitors
its
exposure
by
reviewing
the
creditworthiness
of
the
issuers,
as
well
as
the
financial
institutions
issuing
the
credit
enhancements
and
by
limiting
the
amount
of
holdings
with
credit
enhancements
from
one
financial
institution. 
Market
Risk:
Municipal
securities
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
litigation,
legislation
or
other
political
events,
local
business
or
economic
conditions,
credit
rating
downgrades,
or
the
bankruptcy
of
the
issuer
could
have
a
significant
effect
on
an
issuer's
ability
to
make
payments
of
principal
and/or
interest
or
otherwise
affect
the
value
of
such
securities.
Municipal
securities
can
be
significantly
affected
by
political
or
economic
changes,
including
changes
made
in
the
law
after
issuance
of
the
securities,
as
well
as
uncertainties
in
the
municipal
market
related
to,
taxation,
legislative
changes
or
the
rights
of
municipal
security
holders,
including
in
connection
with
an
issuer
insolvency.
Municipal
securities
backed
by
current
or
anticipated
revenues
from
a
specific
project
or
specific
assets
can
be
negatively
affected
by
the
discontinuance
of
the
tax
benefits
supporting
the
project
or
assets
or
the
inability
to
collect
revenues
for
the
project
or
from
the
assets.
Municipal
securities
may
be
less
liquid
than
taxable
bonds,
and
there
may
be
less
publicly
available
information
on
the
financial
condition
of
municipal
security
issuers
than
for
issuers
of
other
securities.
An
outbreak
of
respiratory
disease
caused
by
a
novel
coronavirus
has
developed
into
a
global
pandemic
and
has
resulted
in
closing
borders,
quarantines,
disruptions
to
supply
chains
and
customer
activity,
as
well
as
general
concern
and
uncertainty.
The
impact
of
this
pandemic,
and
other
global
health
crises
that
may
arise
in
the
future,
could
affect
the
economies
of
many
nations,
individual
companies
and
the
market
in
general
in
ways
that
cannot
necessarily
be
foreseen
at
the
present
time.
This
pandemic
may
result
in
substantial
market
volatility
and
may
adversely
impact
the
prices
and
liquidity
of
a
fund's
investments.
The duration
of
this
pandemic
and
its
effects
cannot
be
determined
with
certainty.
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.

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,
consist
principally
of
financial
instruments
and
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. 
Concentration
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
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.
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.
In
addition,
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.
The
impact
of
these
actions,
especially
if
they
occur
in
a
disorderly
fashion,
is
not
clear
but
could
be
significant
and
far
reaching. 
LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority
announced
a phase
out of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”).
Although
many
LIBOR
rates
will
be
phased
out
by
the
end
of
2021,
a
selection
of
widely
used
USD
LIBOR
rates
will
continue
to
be
published
through
June
2023
in
order
to
assist
with
the
transition.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
financial
instruments
tied
to
LIBOR
to
determine
payment
obligations,
financing
terms,
hedging
strategies
or
investment
value.
The
transition
process
away
from
LIBOR
might
lead
to
increased
volatility
and
illiquidity
in
markets
for,
and
reduce
the
effectiveness
of
new
hedges
placed
against,
instruments
whose
terms
currently
include
LIBOR.
The
ultimate
effect
of
the
LIBOR
transition
process
on
the
Fund
is
uncertain.

and

of

Funds
SM
:
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
and
Financial
Highlights
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund
of
BlackRock
Funds
SM
(the
“Fund”),
including
the
schedule
of
investments,
as
of
March
31,
2021,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
and
the
related
notes.
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
March
31,
2021,
and
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
then
ended,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
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
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
and
financial
highlights
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Fund
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
its
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audits
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Fund’s
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights,
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
and
financial
highlights.
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
and
financial
highlights.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
March
31,
2021,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
28
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board,”
the
members
of
which
are
referred
to
as
“Board
Members”)
of
BlackRock
Funds
(the
“Trust”)
met
on
February
8-10,
2021
(the
“Meeting”)
to
consider
the
initial
approval
of
the
proposed
sub-advisory
agreement
(the
“Sub-Advisory
Agreement”)
between
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”),
the
Trust’s
investment
advisor,
and
BlackRock
International
Limited
(the
“Sub-Advisor”)
with
respect
to
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
a
series
of
the
Trust.
The
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
was
substantially
the
same
as
sub-advisory
agreements
that
had
previously
been
approved
by
the
Board
with
respect
to
certain
other
portfolios
of
the
Trust.
On
the
date
of
the
Meeting,
the
Board
consisted
of
fourteen
individuals,
twelve
of
whom
were
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Trust
or
the
Fund
as
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”)
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”).
Consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
1940
Act,
the
Board
considers
the
initial
approval
of
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relating
to
its
consideration
of
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement.
The
Board
previously
met
in
person
on
May
11-13,
2020
(the
“May
2020
Meeting”)
to
consider
the
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Trust’s
investment
advisory
agreement
(the
“Advisory
Agreement”)
with
the
Manager
on
behalf
of
the
Fund.
At
the
May
2020
Meeting,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
with
respect
to
the
Fund
for
a
one-year
term
ending
June
30,
2021.
A
discussion
of
the
basis
for
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
at
the
May
2020
Meeting
is
included
in
the
semi-annual
shareholder
report
for
the
Fund
for
the
period
ended
September
30,
2020.
The
factors
considered
by
the
Board
at
the
Meeting
in
connection
with
the
approval
of
the
proposed
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
were
substantially
the
same
as
the
factors
considered
at
the
May
2020
Meeting
with
respect
to
approval
of
the
Advisory
Agreement.
Following
discussion,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
unanimously
approved
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
between
the
Manager
and
the
Sub-Advisor,
with
respect
to
the
Fund,
for
a
two-year
term
beginning
on
the
effective
date
of
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement.
Based
upon
its
evaluation
of
all
of
the
aforementioned
factors
in
their
totality,
as
well
as
other
information,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Board
Members,
was
satisfied
that
the
terms
of
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
were
fair
and
reasonable
and
in
the
best
interest
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
In
arriving
at
its
decision
to
approve
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement,
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
also
assisted
by
the
advice
of
independent
legal
counsel
in
making
this
determination.

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

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.
3
Non-audit fees of $2,032,000 and $1,984,000 for the current fiscal year and previous fiscal year, respectively, were paid to the Fund’s principal accountant in their entirety by BlackRock, in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of certain other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription.  These amounts represent aggregate fees paid by BlackRock and were not allocated on a per fund basis.


               (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 minimus 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

Previous Fiscal Year End
BlackRock Wealth Liquid Environmentally Aware Fund

              Additionally, the amounts billed by D&T in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates during the current and previous fiscal years for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription were:
Current Fiscal Year End
Previous Fiscal Year End
$2,032,000
$1,984,000
 
              These amounts represent aggregate fees paid by BlackRock and were not allocated on a per fund basis.
              (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.

(b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
