How did the Fund perform last year?
The consumer discretionary sector was driven by inflation expectations during the reporting period, beginning with persistent inflation, rapid rate hikes, and the potential for a U.S. recession then rallying on dovish remarks from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank at the end of 2023.
However, the performance of consumer discretionary stocks lagged that of the broader market as inflation proved to be stickier than expected, and consumer confidence failed to recover in line with investor confidence.
Investors’ persistent enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”) was the primary driver of market returns. While the enthusiasm may have contributed to broad stock price increases, the largest increases were reserved for big technology companies that were best positioned to harness the new technology, leaving less exposed and smaller-capitalized companies to underperform.
What contributed to performance?
Within consumer discretionary stocks, a preference for experiences over goods led select fast-casual food chains to deliver strong performance. The influence of generative AI helped companies with a greater claim to benefit from the technology regardless of their main business. A large technology company with services ranging from e-commerce to cloud computing particularly gained due to its position as a leader in the AI space.
What detracted from performance?
An athletic gear company was the largest detractor from the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The company’s stock price has been challenged as investors preferred to spend their discretionary dollars on experiences over physical goods. Following similar trends, a budget retailer was the second largest detractor.

How did the Fund perform last year?
Generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) was a significant driver of market returns during the reporting period, particularly among firms providing the hardware or software that empowers AI delivery and utilization. These firms have been led by large technology companies, Mega-cap companies accounted for a vast majority of the sector’s gains relative to mid- and smaller-capitalized companies.
Technology firms continued to receive fiscal support from legislation passed in 2022, empowering the United States to capitalize on the emergence of new technologies and deliver self-sufficiency in innovation and production.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”) kept interest rates steady throughout the reporting period. A global risk-on rally started when Chairman Powell signaled rates had peaked at the end of 2023, fueling hopes for a soft landing (an economic outcome in which inflation slows to the Fed’s 2% target while growth remains positive).
What contributed to performance?
The two largest individual contributors to the Fund’s return during the reporting period were U.S. companies offering semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. Both companies benefited from the ongoing AI trend as developers of the chips and software used in emerging technology development.
What detracted from performance?
Two of the largest individual detractors from the Fund’s return during the reporting period were data storage and management solution providers. Like their peers supplying the tools to harness AI, their stocks traded at high multiples, but weakened earnings guidance provided by the firms during the period caused stock prices to fall.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant 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 registrant has not amended the code of ethics and 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, by calling 1-800-474-2737.
Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of trustees (the “board of trustees”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:
Richard L. Fagnani
Madhav V. Rajan
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 trustees 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 trustees.
Item 4 – Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The principal accountant fees disclosed in items 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d) and 4(g) are for the two series of the registrant for which the fiscal year-end is July 31, 2024 (the “Funds”), and whose annual financial statements are reported in Item 1.
(a) Audit Fees – The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $26,600 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 and $26,600 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024.
(b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2024 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Funds’ financial statements and are not reported under (a) of this Item.
(c) Tax Fees – The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the Funds were $19,400 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 and $19,400 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024. These services related to the review of the Funds’ tax returns and excise tax calculations.
(d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed in each of the fiscal years ended July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2024 for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in (a) through (c) of this Item.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee charter, as amended, provides that the audit committee is responsible for the approval, prior to appointment, of the engagement of the principal accountant to annually audit and provide their opinion on the registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve, prior to appointment, the engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the registrant or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser (“Adviser Affiliate”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Funds, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the last two fiscal years were $19,400 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 and $19,400 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024.
(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if any, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence, and has determined that the provision of these services, if any, does not compromise the principal accountant’s independence.
(i) – Not Applicable
(j) – Not Applicable
Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrant
(a) The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately designated standing Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

and
collectively,
the
“Funds”):
2.
Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates. Each
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies:
Investment Transactions
and
Income
Recognition:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
investment
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
dates
the
transactions
are
executed.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions
are
determined
using
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
at
fair
value.
Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
date
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Funds
are
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
date.
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
or
as
estimated
by
management,
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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Foreign
Taxes:
Certain
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
on
income,
stock
dividends,
capital
gains
on
investments,
or
certain
foreign
currency
transactions.
All
foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
each
Fund
invests.
These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
each
Fund
and
are
reflected
in
its Statements
of
Operations
as
follows:
foreign
taxes
withheld
at
source
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
income,
foreign
taxes
on
securities
lending
income
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
securities
lending
income,
foreign
taxes
on
stock
dividends
are
presented
as
“Other
foreign
taxes”,
and
foreign
taxes
on
capital
gains
from
sales
of
investments
and
foreign
taxes
on
foreign
currency
transactions
are
included
in
their
respective
net
realized
gain
(loss)
categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
July
31,
2024
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Funds
file
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Funds
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction’s
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The
Statements
of
Operations
include
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes.
In-kind
Redemptions:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
Funds.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
Funds
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
Fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the
Funds’
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share.
Distributions:
Dividends
and
distributions
paid
by
each
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Distributions
are
determined
on
a
tax
basis
and
may
differ
from
net
investment
income
and
net
realized
capital
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Dividends
and
distributions
are
paid
in
U.S.
dollars
and
cannot
be
automatically
reinvested
in
additional
shares
of
the
Funds.
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
each
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Funds’
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Funds,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
3.
Investment
Valuation
and
Fair
Value
Measurements
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
Each
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund’s
listing
exchange
is
open
and,
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
as
of
the
report
date.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
a
fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
Trust
(the
“Board”)
of each
Fund
has
approved
the
designation
of
BlackRock
Fund
Advisors
(“BFA”),
the
Funds’
investment
adviser, as
the
valuation
designee
for
each
Fund. Each
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of
its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
BFA’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
BFA’s policies
and
procedures as
reflecting
fair
value. BFA
has
formed
a
committee
(the
“Valuation
Committee”)
to
develop pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments,
with
assistance
from
other
BlackRock
pricing
committees.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
each
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities:
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
securities
exchange
are
valued
at
that
day’s
official
closing
price,
as
applicable,
on
the
exchange
where
the
stock
is
primarily
traded.
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
are valued
at
the
last
traded
price.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds)
are
valued
at
that
day’s
published
NAV.

Annual

Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
("NYSE").
Each
business
day,
the
Funds
use
current
market
factors
supplied
by
independent
pricing
services
to
value
certain
foreign
instruments
(“Systematic
Fair
Value
Price”).
The
Systematic
Fair
Value
Price
is
designed
to
value
such
foreign
securities
at
fair
value
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE,
which
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
BFA’s
policies
and
procedures as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the Valuation
Committee
include
market
approach,
income
approach
and
cost
approach.
Valuation
techniques
such
as
discounted
cash
flow,
use
of
market
comparables
and
matrix
pricing
are
types
of
valuation
approaches
and
are
typically
used
in
determining
fair
value.
When
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the Valuation
Committee
seeks
to
determine
the
price
that each
Fund
might
reasonably
expect
to
receive
or
pay
from
the
current
sale
or
purchase
of
that
asset
or
liability
in
an
arm’s-length
transaction.
Fair
value
determinations
shall
be
based
upon
all
available
factors
that
the Valuation
Committee
deems
relevant
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement.
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial
reporting
purposes
as
follows:
Level
1
–
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that each
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
–
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are

for
the

(such
as
interest

yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,

and

or

the
extent
observable
inputs
are
not
available,
(including
the Valuation
Committee’s
assumptions
used
in
determining
the

of
financial
instruments).
The

gives
the

priority
to

(Level

The

Securities
and
Other
Investments
Securities
Lending:
Each
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
an
approved
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
each
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of
the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to
the
Fund
or
excess
collateral
is
returned
by
the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
each
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
in
money
market
funds
managed
by
BFA,
or
its
affiliates
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
also
disclosed
in
each
Fund’s
Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
any
related
cash
collateral
are
disclosed
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Funds
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”)
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency)
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Funds,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Funds
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
As
of
period
end,
the
following
table
is
a
summary
of
the
securities
on
loan
by
counterparty
which
are
subject
to
offset
under
an
MSLA:
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
each
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”).
BlackRock’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent
the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
of
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
Each
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received.
Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
each
Fund.

and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
Investment
Advisory
Fees:
Pursuant
to
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Trust
,
BFA
manages
the
investment
of each
Fund’s
assets.
BFA
is
a
California
corporation
indirectly owned
by
BlackRock. Under
the
Investment
Advisory
Agreement,
BFA
is
responsible
for
substantially
all
expenses
of
the
Funds,
except
(
i
)
interest
and
taxes;
(ii)
brokerage
commissions
and
other
expenses
connected
with
the
execution
of
portfolio

(iii)
distribution
fees;
(iv)
the
advisory

and
(v)
litigation
expenses
and
any
extraordinary

(in
each
case
as
determined
by
a
majority
of
the
independent
trustees
).
For
its
investment
advisory
services
to each of
the
following Funds,
BFA
is
entitled
to
an
annual
investment
advisory
fee,
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
by
the
Funds,
based
on
the
average
daily
net
assets
of each
Fund
as
follows:
Distributor:
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
BFA,
is
the
distributor
for
each
Fund.
Pursuant
to
the
distribution
agreement,
BFA
is
responsible
for
any
fees
or
expenses
for
distribution
services
provided
to
the
Funds.
ETF
Servicing
Fees:
Each
Fund
has
entered
into
an
ETF
Services
Agreement
with
BRIL
to
perform
certain
order
processing,
Authorized
Participant
communications,
and
related
services
in
connection
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units
(“ETF
Services”).
BRIL
is
entitled
to
a
transaction
fee
from
Authorized
Participants
on
each
creation
or
redemption
order
for
the
ETF
Services
provided. The Funds
do
not
pay
BRIL
for
ETF
Services.
Securities
Lending:
The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits
BlackRock
Institutional
Trust
Company,
N.A.
(“BTC”),
an
affiliate
of
BFA,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Funds,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BTC
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending,
including
any
custodial
costs.
Each
Fund
is
responsible
for
fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional
or
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Treasury,
managed
by
BFA,
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BTC
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
each
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
invested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
Each
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits
the
remaining
portion
to
BTC
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
each
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
fees)
and
the
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the

Income
Tax
Information
Each
Fund
is
treated
as
an
entity
separate
from
the
Trust’s other
funds
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
It
is
each
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required.
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the
Funds
as
of
July
31,
2024,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements.
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

Principal
Risks
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
each
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
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
or
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Funds
and
their
investments.
Each
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
the
Fund
is
subject.
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.
Valuation
Risk:
The
market
values
of
equities,
such
as
common
stocks
and
preferred
securities
or
equity
related
investments,
such
as
futures
and
options,
may
decline
due
to
general
market
conditions
which
are
not
specifically
related
to
a
particular
company.
They
may
also
decline
due
to
factors
which
affect
a
particular
industry
or
industries.
A
fund
may
invest
in
illiquid
investments.
An
illiquid
investment
is
any
investment
that
a
fund
reasonably
expects
cannot
be
sold
or
disposed
of
in
current
market
conditions
in
seven
calendar
days
or
less
without
the
sale
or
disposition
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment.
A
fund
may
experience
difficulty
in
selling
illiquid
investments
in
a
timely
manner
at
the
price
that
it
believes
the
investments
are
worth.
Prices
may
fluctuate
widely
over
short
or
extended
periods
in
response
to
company,
market
or
economic
news.
Markets
also
tend
to
move
in
cycles,
with
periods
of
rising
and
falling
prices.
This
volatility
may
cause
a
fund’s
NAV
to
experience
significant
increases
or
decreases
over
short
periods
of
time.
If
there
is
a
general
decline
in
the
securities
and
other
markets,
the
NAV
of
a
fund
may
lose
value,
regardless
of
the
individual
results
of
the
securities
and
other
instruments
in
which
a
fund
invests.
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
or
the
risk
that
an
entity
may
fail
to
or
be
unable
to
perform
on
its
commitments
related
to
unsettled
or
open
transactions,
including
making
timely
interest
and/or
principal
payments
or
otherwise
honoring
its
obligations.
The
Funds
manage
counterparty
credit
risk
by
entering
into
transactions
only
with
counterparties
that BFA
believes
have
the
financial
resources
to
honor
their
obligations
and
by
monitoring
the
financial
stability
of
those
counterparties.
Financial
assets,
which
potentially
expose
the
Funds
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks,
consist
principally
of
financial
instruments
and
receivables
due
from
counterparties.
The
extent
of
the
Funds’
exposure
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks
with
respect
to
these
financial
assets
is
approximately
their
value
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Funds.
Geographic/Asset
Class
Risk:
A
diversified
portfolio,
where
this
is
appropriate
and
consistent
with
a
fund’s
objectives,
minimizes
the
risk
that
a
price
change
of
a
particular
investment
will
have
a
material
impact
on
the
NAV
of
a
fund.
The
investment
concentrations
within
each
Fund’s
portfolio
are
disclosed
in
its
Schedule
of
Investments.
The
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
the
United
States.
A
decrease
in
imports
or
exports,
changes
in
trade
regulations,
inflation
and/or
an
economic
recession
in
the
United
States
may
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
securities
listed
on
U.S.
exchanges.
Proposed
and
adopted
policy
and
legislative
changes
in
the
United
States
may
also
have
a
significant
effect
on
U.S.
markets
generally,
as
well
as
on
the
value
of
certain
securities.
Governmental
agencies
project
that
the
United
States
will
continue
to
maintain
elevated
public
debt
levels
for
the
foreseeable
future
which
may
constrain
future

growth.
Circumstances
could
arise
that
could
prevent
the
timely
payment
of
interest
or
principal
on
U.S.
government
debt,
such
as
reaching
the
legislative
“debt
ceiling.”
Such
non-payment
would
result
in
substantial
negative
consequences
for
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
global
financial
system.
If
U.S.
relations
with
certain
countries
deteriorate,
it
could
adversely
affect
issuers
that
rely
on
the
United
States
for
trade.
The
United
States
has
also
experienced
increased
internal
unrest
and
discord.
If
these
trends
were
to
continue,
they
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
issuers
in
which
the Funds
invest.
The
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.

Capital
Share
Transactions
Capital
shares
are
issued
and
redeemed
by
each
Fund
only
in
aggregations
of
a
specified
number
of
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation
Units”)
at
NAV.
Except
when
aggregated
in
Creation
Units,
shares
of
each
Fund
are
not
redeemable.
Transactions
in
capital
shares
were
as
follows:
The
consideration
for
the
purchase
of
Creation
Units
of
a
fund
in
the Trust
generally
consists
of
the
in-kind
deposit
of
a
designated
portfolio
of
securities
and
a
specified
amount
of
cash.
Certain
funds
in
the Trust
may
be
offered
in
Creation
Units
solely
or
partially
for
cash
in
U.S.
dollars. Authorized
Participants purchasing
and
redeeming
Creation
Units
may
pay
a
purchase
transaction
fee
and
a
redemption
transaction
fee
directly
to
BRIL,
to
offset
transfer
and
other
transaction
costs
associated
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units,
including
Creation
Units
for
cash.
Authorized
Participants
transacting
in
Creation
Units
for
cash
may
also
pay
an
additional
variable
charge
to
compensate
the
relevant
fund
for
certain
transaction
costs
(i.e.,
stamp
taxes,
taxes
on
currency
or
other
financial
transactions,
and
brokerage
costs)
and
market
impact
expenses
relating
to
investing
in
portfolio
securities.
Such
variable
charges,
if
any,
are
included
in
shares
sold
in
the
table
above.
To
the
extent
applicable,
to
facilitate
the
timely
settlement
of
orders
for
Funds
using
a
clearing
facility
outside
of
the
continuous
net
settlement
process,
the
Fund,
at
its
sole
discretion,
may
permit
an
Authorized
Participant
to
post
cash
as
collateral
in
anticipation
of
the
delivery
of
all
or
a
portion
of
the
applicable
Deposit
Securities
or
Fund
Securities,
as
further
described
in
the
applicable
Authorized
Participant
Agreement.
The
collateral
process
is
subject
to
a
Control
Agreement
among
the
Authorized
Participant,
each
Fund’s
custodian,
and
the
Funds.
In
the
event
that
the
Authorized
Participant
fails
to
deliver
all
or
a
portion
of
the
applicable
Deposit
Securities
or
Fund
Securities,
the
Fund
may
exercise
control
over
such
collateral
pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
Control
Agreement
in
order
to
purchase
the
applicable
Deposit
Securities
or
Fund
Securities.
From
time
to
time,
settlement
of
securities
related
to
in-kind
contributions
or
in-kind
redemptions
may
be
delayed.
In
such
cases,
securities
related
to
in-kind
transactions
are
reflected
as
a
receivable
or
a
payable
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
July
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
transfer
agent.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

the
approval
of

Agreement
between

(the

Agreement”)
on

The
Board’s
consideration
entails
a
year-long
process
whereby
the
Board
and
its
committees
(composed
solely
of
Independent
Board
Members)
assess
BlackRock’s
services
to
the

including
investment

administrative

of

and

including

The
Independent

Members
requested,
and
BFA
provided,
such
information
as
the
Independent
Board
Members,
with
advice
from
independent
counsel,
deemed
reasonably
necessary
to
evaluate
the
Advisory
Agreement.
At
meetings
held
on
May
6,
2024
and
May
17,
2024,
a
committee
composed
of
all
of
the
Independent
Board
Members
(the
“15(c)
Committee”),
with
independent
counsel,
met
with
management
and
reviewed
and
discussed
information
provided
in
response
to
initial
requests
of
the
15(c)
Committee
and/or
its
independent
counsel.
Prior
to
and
in
preparation
for
the
meeting,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
matters
relevant
to
the
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreement.
Following
discussion,
the
15(c)
Committee
subsequently
requested
certain
additional
information,
which
management
agreed
to
provide.
At
a
meeting
held
on
June
4-5,
2024,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
additional
information
provided
by
management
in
response
to
these
requests.
After
extensive
discussions
and
deliberations,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
Independent
Board
Members,
approved
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
Fund,
based
on
a
review
of
qualitative
and
quantitative
information
provided
by
BFA
and
their
cumulative
experience
as
Board
Members.
The
Board
noted
its
satisfaction
with
the
extent
and
quality
of
information
provided
and
its
frequent
interactions
with
management,
as
well
as
the
detailed
responses
and
other
information
provided
by
BFA.
The
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
their
independent
counsel
throughout
the
process,
including
about
the
legal
standards
applicable
to
their
review.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
Fund,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
various
factors,
including:
(i)
the
expenses
and
performance
of
the
Fund;
(ii)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
BFA;
(iii)
the
costs
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund
and
profits
realized
by
BFA
and
its
affiliates;
(iv)
potential
economies
of
scale
and
the
sharing
of
related
benefits;
(v)
the
fees
and
services
provided
for
other
comparable
funds/accounts
managed
by
BFA
and
its
affiliates;
and
(vi)
other
benefits
to
BFA
and/or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
matters
and
factors
considered.
The
material
factors,
considerations
and
conclusions
that
formed
the
basis
for
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
to
approve
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
are
discussed
below.
Expenses
and
Performance
of
the
Fund:
The
Board
reviewed
statistical
information
prepared
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data,
regarding
the
expense
ratio
components,
including
gross
and
net
total
expenses,
fees
and
expenses
of
other
fund(s)
in
which
the
Fund
invests
(if
applicable),
and
waivers/reimbursements
(if
applicable)
of
the
Fund
in
comparison
with
the
same
information
for
other
ETFs,
objectively
selected
by
Broadridge
as
comprising
the
Fund’s
applicable
expense
peer
group
pursuant
to
Broadridge’s
proprietary
ETF
methodology
(the
“Peer
Group”).
The
Board
was
provided
with
a
detailed
description
of
the
proprietary
ETF
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
determine
the
Fund’s
Peer
Group.
The
Board
noted
that,
due
to
the
limitations
in
providing
comparable
funds
in
the
Peer
Group,
the
statistical
information
provided
in
Broadridge’s
report
may
or
may
not
provide
meaningful
direct
comparisons
to
the
Fund
in
all
instances.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
investment
advisory
fee
rate
and
overall
expenses
(net
of
any
waivers
and
reimbursements)
for
the
Fund
were
lower
than
the
median
of
the
investment
advisory
fee
rates
and
overall
expenses
(net
of
any
waivers
and
reimbursements)
of
the
funds
in
its
Peer
Group,
excluding
iShares
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund
is
an
actively
managed
ETF
that
does
not
seek
to
track
the
performance
of
a
specified
index
and
that
the
management
team
for
the
Fund
manages
the
Fund’s
portfolio
in
accordance
with
its
investment
objective.
The
Board
further
noted
that,
during
the
year,
the
Board
received
periodic
reports
on
the
Fund’s
short-
and
longer-term
performance
in
comparison
with
its
reference
benchmark.
Such
periodic
comparative
performance
information,
including
additional
detailed
information
as
requested
by
the
Board,
was
also
considered.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund
generally
performed
in
line
with
expectations
relative
to
the
Fund’s
peer
group
(where
applicable)
and
reference
benchmark
or
stated
investment
objective.
Based
on
this
review,
the
other
relevant
factors
and
information
considered
at
the
meeting,
and
their
general
knowledge
of
ETF
pricing,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
investment
advisory
fee
rate
and
expense
level
and
the
historical
performance
of
the
Fund
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
Provided:
Based
on
management’s
representations,
including
information
about
ongoing
enhancements
and
initiatives
with
respect
to
the
iShares
product
line
and
BFA’s
business,
including
with
respect
to
capital
markets
support
and
analysis,
technology,
portfolio
management,
product
design
and
quality,
compliance
and
risk
management,
global
public
policy
and
other
services,
the
Board
expected
that
there
would
be
no
diminution
in
the
scope
of
services
required
of
or
provided
by
BFA
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year
as
compared
with
the
scope
of
services
provided
by
BFA
during
prior
years.
In
reviewing
the
scope
of
these
services,
the
Board
considered
BFA’s
investment
philosophy
and
experience,
noting
that
BFA
and
its
affiliates
have
committed
significant
resources
over
time,
including
during
the
past
year,
to
support
the
iShares
funds
and
their
shareholders
and
have
made
significant
investments
into
the
iShares
business.
The
Board
also
considered
BFA’s
compliance
program
and
its
compliance
record
with
respect
to
the
Fund,
including
related
programs
implemented
pursuant
to
regulatory
requirements.
In
that
regard,
the
Board
noted
that
BFA
reports
to
the
Board
about
portfolio
management
and
compliance
matters
on
a
periodic
basis
in
connection
with
regularly
scheduled
meetings
of
the
Board,
and
on
other
occasions
as
necessary
and
appropriate,
and
has
provided
information
and
made
relevant
officers
and
other
employees
of
BFA
(and
its
affiliates)
available
as
needed
to
provide
further
assistance
with
these
matters.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
background
and
experience
of
the
persons
responsible
for
the
day-to-day
management
of
the
Fund,
as
well
as
the
resources
available
to
them
in
managing
the
Fund.
In
addition
to
the
above
considerations,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
detailed
presentations
regarding
BFA’s
investment
performance,
investment
and
risk
management
processes
and
strategies
provided
at
the
May
6,
2024
meeting
and
throughout
the
year,
and
matters
related
to
BFA’s
portfolio
compliance
program
and
other
compliance
programs
and
services,
as
well
as
BlackRock’s
continued
investments
in
its
ETF
business.
Based
on
review
of
this
information,
and
the
performance
information
discussed
above,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
Costs
of
Services
Provided
to
the
Fund
and
Profits
Realized
by
BFA
and
its
Affiliates:
The
Board
reviewed
information
about
the
estimated
profitability
to
BlackRock
in
managing
the
Fund,
based
on
the
fees
payable
to
BFA
and
its
affiliates
(including
fees
under
the
Advisory
Agreement),
and
other
sources
of
revenue
and
expense
to
BFA
Board
Review
and
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Contract
(continued)
Board
Review
and
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Contract
and
its
affiliates
from
the
Fund’s
operations
for
the
last
calendar
year.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
methodology
for
calculating
estimated
profitability
of
the
iShares
funds,
noting
that
the
15(c)
Committee
and
the
Board
had
focused
on
the
methodology
and
profitability
presentation.
The
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors,
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
by
BFA,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
The
Board
thus
recognized
that
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
individual
fund
levels
is
challenging.
The
Board
discussed
with
management
the
sources
of
direct
and
ancillary
revenue,
including
the
revenues
to
BTC,
a
BlackRock
affiliate,
from
securities
lending
by
the
Fund.
The
Board
also
discussed
BFA’s
estimated
profit
margin
as
reflected
in
the
Fund’s
profitability
analysis
and
reviewed
information
regarding
potential
economies
of
scale
(as
discussed
below).
Based
on
this
review,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
information
considered
with
respect
to
the
profits
realized
by
BFA
and
its
affiliates
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
and
from
other
relationships
between
the
Fund
and
BFA
and/or
its
affiliates,
if
any,
and
related
costs
of
the
services
provided
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
Economies
of
Scale:
The
Board
reviewed
information
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
might
be
realized
as
the
assets
of
the
Fund
increase,
noting
that
the
issue
of
potential
economies
of
scale
had
been
focused
on
by
the
15(c)
Committee
and
the
Board
during
their
meetings
and
addressed
by
management.
The
15(c)
Committee
and
the
Board
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
historical
estimated
profitability
(as
discussed
above),
including
BFA’s
and
its
affiliates’
estimated
costs
in
providing
services.
The
estimated
cost
information
distinguished,
among
other
things,
between
fixed
and
variable
costs,
and
showed
how
the
level
and
nature
of
fixed
and
variable
costs
may
impact
the
existence
or
size
of
scale
benefits,
with
the
Board
recognizing
that
potential
economies
of
scale
are
difficult
to
measure.
The
15(c)
Committee
and
the
Board
reviewed
information
provided
by
BFA
regarding
the
sharing
of
scale
benefits
with
the
iShares
funds
through
various
means,
including,
as
applicable,
through
breakpoints,
waivers,
or
other
fee
reductions,
as
well
as
through
additional
investment
in
the
iShares
business,
including
enhancements
to
or
the
provision
of
additional
infrastructure
and
services
to
the
iShares
funds
and
their
shareholders
and,
with
respect
to
New
Funds,
set
management
fees
at
levels
that
anticipate
scale
over
time.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
Fund
did
not
provide
for
breakpoints
in
the
Fund’s
investment
advisory
fee
rate
as
the
assets
of
the
Fund
increase.
However,
the
Board
noted
that
it
would
continue
to
assess
the
appropriateness
of
adding
breakpoints
in
the
future.
The
Board
concluded
that
this
review
of
potential
economies
of
scale
and
the
sharing
of
related
benefits,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
Fees
and
Services
Provided
for
Other
Comparable
Funds/Accounts
Managed
by
BFA
and
its
Affiliates:
The
Board
received
and
considered
information
regarding
the
investment
advisory/management
fee
rates
for
other
funds/accounts
in
the
U.S.
for
which
BFA
(or
its
affiliates)
provides
investment
advisory/management
services,
including
open-end
funds
registered
under
the
1940
Act
(including
sub-advised
funds),
collective
trust
funds
and
institutional
separate
accounts
(collectively,
the
“Other
Accounts”).
The
Board
received
detailed
information
regarding
how
the
Other
Accounts
generally
differ
from
the
Fund,
including
in
terms
of
the
types
of
services
and
generally
more
extensive
character
and
scope
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund,
as
well
as
other
significant
differences.
In
that
regard,
the
Board
considered
that
the
pricing
of
services
to
institutional
clients
is
typically
based
on
a
number
of
factors
beyond
the
nature
and
extent
of
the
specific
services
to
be
provided
and
often
depends
on
the
overall
relationship
between
the
client
and
its
affiliates
and
the
adviser
and
its
affiliates.
In
addition,
the
Board
considered
the
relative
complexity
and
inherent
risks
and
challenges
of
managing
and
providing
other
services
to
the
Fund,
as
a
publicly
traded
investment
vehicle,
as
compared
to
the
Other
Accounts,
particularly
those
that
are
institutional
clients,
in
light
of
differing
regulatory
requirements
and
client-imposed
mandates.
The
Board
acknowledged
BFA’s
representation
that
the
iShares
funds
are
fundamentally
different
investment
vehicles
from
the
Other
Accounts
in
its
consideration
of
relevant
qualitative
and
quantitative
comparative
information
provided.
The
Board
noted
that
BFA
and
its
affiliates
do
not
manage
Other
Accounts
with
a
similar
investment
strategy
or
investment
mandate
as
the
Fund.
The
Board
also
acknowledged
management’s
assertion
that,
for
certain
iShares
funds,
and
for
client
segmentation
purposes,
BlackRock
has
launched
an
iShares
fund
that
may
provide
a
similar
investment
exposure
at
a
lower
investment
advisory
fee
rate.
The
Board
considered
the
“all-inclusive”
nature
of
the
Fund’s
advisory
fee
structure,
and
the
Fund’s
expenses
borne
by
BFA
under
this
arrangement
and
noted
that
the
investment
advisory
fee
rate
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
Fund
was
generally
higher
than
the
investment
advisory/management
fee
rates
for
certain
of
the
Other
Accounts
(particularly
institutional
clients)
and
concluded
that
the
differences
appeared
to
be
consistent
with
the
factors
discussed.
Other
Benefits
to
BFA
and/or
its
Affiliates:
The
Board
reviewed
other
benefits
or
ancillary
revenue
received
by
BFA
and/or
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
BFA,
both
direct
and
indirect,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
payment
of
revenue
to
BTC,
the
Fund’s
securities
lending
agent,
for
loaning
portfolio
securities,
as
applicable
(which
was
included
in
the
profit
margins
reviewed
by
the
Board
pursuant
to
BFA’s
estimated
profitability
methodology),
payment
of
advisory
fees
or
other
fees
to
BFA
(or
its
affiliates)
in
connection
with
any
investments
by
the
Fund
in
other
funds
(including
cash
sweep
vehicles)
for
which
BFA
(or
its

provides
investment
advisory
services
or
other
services,
and
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
community.
The
Board
further
considered
other
direct
benefits
that
might
accrue
to
BFA,
including
actual
and
potential
reductions
in
the
Fund’s
expenses
that
are
borne
by
BFA
under
the
“all-inclusive”
management
fee
arrangement,
due
in
part
to
the
size
and
scope
of
BFA’s
investment
operations
servicing
the
Fund
(and
other
funds
in
the
iShares
complex)
as
well
as
in
response
to
a
changing
market
environment.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
BFA
concerning
authorized
participant
primary
market
order
processing
services
that
are
provided
by
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
BFA,
and
paid
for
by
authorized
participants
under
the
ETF
Servicing
Platform.
The
Board
also
noted
the
revenue
received
by
BFA
and/or
its
affiliates
pursuant
to
an
agreement
that
permits
a
service
provider
to
use
certain
portions
of
BlackRock’s
technology
platform
to
service
accounts
managed
by
BFA
and/or
its
affiliates,
including
the
iShares
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
BFA
generally
does
not
use
soft
dollars
or
consider
the
value
of
research
or
other
services
that
may
be
provided
to
BFA
(including
its
affiliates)
in
selecting
brokers
for
portfolio
transactions
for
the
Fund.
The
Board
concluded
that
any
such
ancillary
benefits
would
not
be
disadvantageous
to
the
Fund
and
thus
would
not
alter
the
Board’s
conclusion
with
respect
to
the
appropriateness
of
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
Conclusion:
Based
on
a
review
of
the
factors
described
above,
as
well
as
such
other
factors
as
deemed
appropriate
by
the
Board,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
Independent
Board
Members,
determined
that
the
Fund’s
investment
advisory
fee
rate
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
does
not
constitute
a
fee
that
is
so
disproportionately
large
as
to
bear
no
reasonable
relationship
to
the
services
rendered
and
that
could
not
have
been
the
product
of
arm’s-length
bargaining,
and
concluded
to
approve
the
continuance
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
the
coming
year.
