Dear

Shareholder,

Investors

faced

an

uncertain

economic

landscape

during

the

12-month

reporting

period

ended

April

30,

2023,

amid

mixed

indicators

and

rapidly

changing

market

conditions.

The

U.S.

economy

returned

to

modest

growth

beginning

in

the

third

quarter

of

2022,

although

the

pace

of

growth

slowed

thereafter.

Inflation

was

elevated,

reaching

a

40-year

high

as

labor

costs

grew

rapidly

and

unemployment

rates

reached

the

lowest

levels

in

decades.

However,

inflation

moderated

as

the

period

continued,

while

continued

strength

in

consumer

spending

backstopped

the

economy.

Equity

returns

varied

substantially,

as

large-capitalization

U.S.

stocks

gained

for

the

period

amid

a

rebound

in

big

tech

stocks,

whereas

small-capitalization

U.S.

stocks

declined.

International

equities

from

developed

markets

advanced

strongly,

while

emerging

market

stocks

declined,

pressured

by

higher

interest

rates

and

volatile

commodities

prices.

The

10-year

U.S.

Treasury

yield

rose

during

the

reporting

period,

driving

its

price

down,

as

investors

reacted

to

elevated

inflation

and

attempted

to

anticipate

future

interest

rate

changes.

The

corporate

bond

market

also

faced

inflationary

headwinds,

although

high-yield

corporate

bonds

posted

a

positive

return

as

demand

from

yield-seeking

investors

remained

strong.

The

U.S.

Federal

Reserve

(the

“Fed”),

acknowledging

that

inflation

has

been

more

persistent

than

expected,

raised

interest

rates

eight

times.

Furthermore,

the

Fed

wound

down

its

bond-buying

programs

and

incrementally

reduced

its

balance

sheet

by

not

replacing

securities

that

reach

maturity.

In

addition,

the

Fed

added

liquidity

to

markets

amid

the

failure

of

prominent

regional

banks.

Restricted

labor

supply

kept

inflation

elevated

even

as

other

inflation

drivers,

such

as

goods

prices

and

energy

costs,

moderated.

While

economic

growth

was

modest

in

the

last

year,

we

believe

that

stickiness

in

services

inflation

and

continued

wage

growth

will

keep

inflation

above

central

bank

targets

for

some

time.

Although

the

Fed

has

decelerated

the

pace

of

interest

rate

hikes

and

indicated

a

pause

could

be

its

next

step,

we

believe

that

the

Fed

still

seems

determined

to

get

inflation

back

to

target.

With

this

in

mind,

we

believe

the

possibility

of

a

U.S.

recession

in

the

near

term

is

high,

but

the

dimming

economic

outlook

has

not

yet

been

fully

reflected

in

current

market

prices.

We

believe

investors

should

expect

a

period

of

higher

volatility

as

markets

adjust

to

the

new

economic

reality

and

policymakers

attempt

to

adapt

to

rapidly

changing

conditions.

Turmoil

in

the

banking

sector

late

in

the

period

highlighted

the

potential

for

the

rapid

increase

in

interest

rates

to

disrupt

markets

with

little

warning.

While

we

favor

an

overweight

to

equities

in

the

long

term,

we

prefer

an

underweight

stance

on

equities

overall

in

the

near

term.

Expectations

for

corporate

earnings

remain

elevated,

which

seems

inconsistent

with

the

possibility

of

a

recession.

Nevertheless,

we

are

overweight

on

emerging

market

stocks

as

we

believe

a

weakening

U.S.

dollar

could

provide

a

supportive

backdrop.

We

also

see

selective,

long-term

opportunities

in

credit,

where

we

believe

that

valuations

are

appealing,

and

higher

yields

offer

attractive

income.

However,

we

are

neutral

on

credit

in

the

near

term,

as

we’re

concerned

about

tightening

credit

and

financial

conditions.

For

fixed

income

investing

with

a

six-

to

twelve-month

horizon,

we

see

the

most

significant

opportunities

in

short-

term

U.S.

Treasuries,

global

inflation-linked

bonds,

and

emerging

market

bonds

denominated

in

local

currency. 

Overall,

our

view

is

that

investors

need

to

think

globally,

position

themselves

to

be

prepared

for

a

decarbonizing

economy,

and

be

nimble

as

market

conditions

change.

We

encourage

you

to

talk

with

your

financial

advisor

and

visit

iShares.com

for

further

insight

about

investing

in

today’s

markets.

Objective

The

iShares

Yield

Optimized

Bond

ETF

(the

“Fund”)

seeks

to

track

the

investment

results

of

an

index

composed

of

underlying

fixed

income

funds

that

collectively

seek

to

deliver

current

income,

as

represented

by

the

Morningstar

®

U.S.

Bond

Market

Yield-Optimized

Index

SM

(the

“

Index

”

).

The

Fund

invests

in

a

representative

sample

of

securities

included

in

the

Index

that

collectively

has

an

investment

profile

similar

to

the

Index.

Due

to

the

use

of

representative

sampling,

the

Fund

may

or

may

not

hold

all

of

the

securities

that

are

included

in

the

Index.

Performance

The

inception

date

of

the

Fund

was

April

22,

2014.

The

first

day

of

secondary

market

trading

was

April

Past

performance

is

not

an

indication

of

future

results.

Financial

markets

have

experienced

extreme

volatility

and

trading

in

many

instruments

has

been

disrupted.

These

circumstances

may

continue

for

an

extended

period

of

time

and

may

continue

to

affect

adversely

the

value

and

liquidity

of

the

Fund’s

investments.

As

a

result,

current

performance

may

be

lower

or

higher

than

the

performance

data

quoted.

Performance

data

current

to

the

most

recent

month-end

is

available

at

iShares.com

.

Performance

results

assume

reinvestment

of

all

dividends

and

capital

gain

distributions

and

do

not

reflect

the

deduction

of

taxes

that

a

shareholder

would

pay

on

fund

distributions

or

on

the

redemption

or

sale

of

fund

shares.

The

investment

return

and

principal

value

of

shares

will

vary

with

changes

in

market

conditions.

Shares

may

be

worth

more

or

less

than

their

original

cost

when

they

are

redeemed

or

sold

in

the

market.

Performance

for

certain

funds

may

reflect

a

waiver

of

a

portion

of

investment

advisory

fees.

Without

such

a

waiver,

performance

would

have

been

lower.

Net

asset

value

or

“NAV”

is

the

value

of

one

share

of

a

fund

as

calculated

in

accordance

with

the

standard

formula

for

valuing

mutual

fund

shares.

Beginning

August

10,

2020,

the

price

used

to

calculate

market

return

(“Market

Price”)

is

the

closing

price.

Prior

to

August

10,

2020,

Market Price

was

determined

using

the

midpoint

between

the

highest

bid

and

the

lowest

ask

on

the

primary

stock

exchange

on

which

shares

of

a

fund

are

listed

for

trading,

as

of

the

time

that

such

fund’s

NAV

is

calculated. Since

shares

of

a

fund

may

not

trade

in

the

secondary

market

until

after

the

fund’s

inception,

for

the

period

from

inception

to

the

first

day

of

secondary

market

trading

in

shares

of

the

fund,

the

NAV

of

the

fund

is

used

as

a

proxy

for

the

Market

Price

to

calculate

market

returns.

Market

and

NAV

returns

assume

that

dividends

and

capital

gain

distributions

have

been

reinvested

at

Market

Price

and

NAV,

respectively.

An

index

is

a

statistical

composite

that

tracks

a

specified

financial

market

or

sector.

Unlike

a

fund,

an

index

does

not

actually

hold

a

portfolio

of

securities

and

therefore

does

not

incur

the

expenses

incurred

by

a

fund.

These

expenses

negatively

impact

fund

performance.

Also,

market

returns

do

not

include

brokerage

commissions

that

may

be

payable

on

secondary

market

transactions.

If

brokerage

commissions

were

included,

market

returns

would

be

lower.

Disclosure

of Expenses

Shareholders

of the

Fund

may

incur

the

following

charges: (1)

transactional

expenses,

including

brokerage

commissions

on

purchases

and

sales

of

fund

shares

and

(2)

ongoing

expenses,

including

management

fees

and

other

fund

expenses.

The

expense

example

shown (which

is

based

on

a

hypothetical

investment

of

$1,000

invested

at

the

beginning

of

the

period

and

held

through

the

end

of

the

period)

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

funds.

The

expense

example

provides information

about

actual

account

values

and

actual

expenses.

Annualized

expense

ratios

reflect

contractual

and

voluntary

fee

waivers,

if

any.

In

order

to estimate

the

expenses

a

shareholder paid during

the period

covered

by

this

report,

shareholders

can divide their

account

value

by

$1,000 and

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

under

the

heading

entitled

“Expenses

Paid

During

the

Period.”

The

expense

example also

provides

information

about

hypothetical

account

values

and

hypothetical

expenses

based

on a

fund’s

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

rate

of

return

of

5%

per

year

before

expenses.

In

order

to

assist

shareholders

in

comparing

the ongoing expenses

of

investing

in the

Fund

and

other

funds, compare

the

5%

hypothetical

example

with

the

5%

hypothetical

examples

that

appear

in

the

shareholder

reports

of

the

other

funds.

The

expenses

shown

in

the

expense

example are

intended

to highlight shareholder’s

ongoing

costs

only

and

do

not

reflect

any

transactional

expenses,

such

as

brokerage

commissions

and

other

fees

paid

on

purchases

and

sales

of

fund

shares.

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.

1.

ORGANIZATION

iShares

Trust

(the

“Trust”)

is

registered

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended

(the

“1940

Act”),

as

an

open-end

management

investment

company.

The

Trust

is

organized

as

a

Delaware

statutory

trust

and

is

authorized

to

have

multiple

series

or

portfolios. 

These

financial

statements

relate

only

to

the

following

fund

(the

“Fund”):

The

Fund

is

a

fund

of

funds

and

seeks

to

achieve

its

investment

objective

by

investing

primarily

in

other

iShares

funds

(each,

an

“underlying

fund”

and

collectively,

the

“underlying

funds”).

The

financial

statements,

including

the

accounting

policies,

and

schedules

of

investments

for

the

underlying

funds

are

available

on

iShares.com

and

should

be

read

in

conjunction

with

the

Fund’s financial

statements.

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.

The

Fund

is

considered

an

investment

company

under

U.S.

GAAP

and

follows

the

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

applicable

to

investment

companies.

Below

is

a

summary

of

significant

accounting

policies:

Investment

Transactions

and

Income

Recognition

:

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

investment

transactions

are

recorded

on

the

dates

the

transactions

are

executed.

Realized

gains

and

losses

on

investment

transactions

are

determined

using

the

specific

identification

method. Dividend

income

and

capital

gain

distributions

from

the

underlying

funds,

if

any,

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

date.

Interest

income

is

recognized

daily

on

an

accrual

basis.

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

Fund.

Because

such

gains

or

losses

are

not

taxable

to

the

Fund

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

Fund’s

tax

year.

These

reclassifications

have

no

effect

on

net

assets

or

net

asset

value

(“NAV”)

per

share.

Distributions:

Dividends

and

distributions

paid

by

the

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

Fund.

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.

3.

Investment

Valuation

and

Fair

Value

Measurements

Investment

Valuation

Policies:

The

Fund’s

investments

are

valued

at

fair

value

(also

referred

to

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

the

Fund

has

approved

the

designation

of

BlackRock

Fund

Advisors

(“BFA”),

the

Fund’s

investment

adviser,

as

the

valuation

designee

for

the

Fund.

The

Fund

determines

the

fair

values

of

its

financial

instruments

using

various

independent

dealers

or

pricing

services

under 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

the

Fund’s

assets

and

liabilities:

Exchange-traded

funds

and

closed-end

funds

traded

on

a

recognized

securities

exchange

are

valued

at

that

day’s official

closing

price,

as

applicable,

on

the

exchange

where

the

fund

is

primarily

traded.

Funds

traded

on

a

recognized

exchange

for

which

there

were

no

sales

on

that

day

may

be

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.

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

the

Fund

might

reasonably

expect

to

receive

or

pay

from

the

current

sale

or

purchase

of

that

asset

or

liability

in

an

arm’s-length

transaction.

Fair

value

determinations

shall

be

based

upon

all

available

factors

that

the Valuation

Committee

deems

relevant

and

consistent

with

the

principles

of

fair

value

measurement.

Fair

value

pricing

could

result

in

a

difference

between

the

prices

used

to

calculate

a

fund’s

NAV

and

the

prices

used

by

the

fund’s

underlying

index,

which

in

turn

could

result

in

a

difference

between

the

fund’s

performance

and

the

performance

of

the

fund’s

underlying

index.

Fair

Value

Hierarchy:

Various

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments.

These

inputs

to

valuation

techniques

are

categorized

into

a

fair

value

hierarchy

consisting

of

three

broad

levels

for

financial

reporting

purposes

as

follows:

Level

1

–

Unadjusted

price

quotations

in

active

markets/exchanges

for

identical

assets

or

liabilities

that

the

Fund

has

the

ability

to

access;

Level

2

–

Other

observable

inputs

(including,

but

not

limited

to,

quoted

prices

for

similar

assets

or

liabilities

in

markets

that

are

active,

quoted

prices

for

identical

or

similar

assets

or

liabilities

in

markets

that

are

not

active,

inputs

other

than

quoted

prices

that

are

observable

for

the

assets

or

liabilities

(such

as

interest

rates,

yield

curves,

volatilities,

prepayment

speeds,

loss

severities,

credit

risks

and

default

rates)

or

other

market-corroborated

inputs);

and

Level

3

–

Unobservable

inputs

based

on

the

best

information

available

in

the

circumstances,

to

the

extent

observable

inputs

are

not

available,

(including

the Valuation

Committee’s

assumptions

used

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments).

The

hierarchy

gives

the

highest

priority

to

unadjusted

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

assets

or

liabilities

(Level

1

measurements)

and

the

lowest

priority

to

unobservable

inputs

(Level

3

measurements).

Accordingly,

the

degree

of

judgment

exercised

in

determining

fair

value

is

greatest

for

instruments

categorized

in

Level

3.

The

inputs

used

to

measure

fair

value

may

fall

into

different

levels

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

In

such

cases,

for

disclosure

purposes,

the

fair

value

hierarchy

classification

is

determined

based

on

the

lowest

level

input

that

is

significant

to

the

fair

value

measurement

in

its

entirety.

Investments

classified

within

Level

3

have

significant

unobservable

inputs

used

by

the Valuation

Committee

in

determining

the

price

for

Fair

Valued

Investments.

Level

3

investments

include

equity

or

debt

issued

by

privately

held

companies

or

funds

that

may

not

have

a

secondary

market

and/or

may

have

a

limited

number

of

investors.

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

Securities

Lending:

The

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

the

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,

the

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

the

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

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Securities

lending

transactions

are

entered

into

by

the

Fund

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

Fund,

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

Fund

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.

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,

the

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.

The

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

the

Fund.

Income

Tax

Information

The

Fund

is

treated

as

an

entity

separate

from

the Trust’s

other

funds

for

federal

income

tax

purposes.

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.

Management

has

analyzed

tax

laws

and

regulations

and

their

application

to

the

Fund

as

of

April

30,

2023,

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.

As

of

October

31,

2022,

the

Fund

had

non-expiring

capital

loss

carryforwards

of

$7,979,570

available

to

offset

future

realized

capital

gains.

As

of

April

30,

2023,

gross

unrealized

appreciation

and

depreciation

based

on

cost

of

investments

(including

short

positions

and

derivatives,

if

any)

for

U.S.

federal

income

tax

purposes

were

as

follows:

8.

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

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

Fund

and

its

investments.

The

Fund’s

prospectus

provides

details

of

the

risks

to

which

the

Fund

is

subject.

BFA

uses

a

“passive”

or

index

approach

to

try

to

achieve

the

Fund’s

investment

objective

following

the

securities

included

in

its

underlying

index

during

upturns

as

well

as

downturns.

BFA

does

not

take

steps

to

reduce

market

exposure

or

to

lessen

the

effects

of

a

declining

market.

Divergence

from

the

underlying

index

and

the

composition

of

the

portfolio

is

monitored

by

BFA.

The

Fund

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

redemption

gates

or

liquidity

fees

under

certain

circumstances.

Infectious

Illness

Risk:

An

outbreak

of

an

infectious

illness,

such

as

the

COVID-19

pandemic,

may

adversely

impact

the

economies

of

many

nations

and

the

global

economy,

and

may

impact

individual

issuers

and

capital

markets

in

ways

that

cannot

be

foreseen.

An

infectious

illness

outbreak

may

result

in,

among

other

things,

closed

international

borders,

prolonged

quarantines,

supply

chain

disruptions,

market

volatility

or

disruptions

and

other

significant

economic,

social

and

political

impacts.

Counterparty

Credit

Risk:

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

counterparty

credit

risk,

or

the

risk

that

an

entity

may

fail

to

or

be

unable

to

perform

on

its

commitments

related

to

unsettled

or

open

transactions,

including

making

timely

interest

and/or

principal

payments

or

otherwise

honoring

its

obligations.

The

Fund

manages

counterparty

credit

risk

by

entering

into

transactions

only

with

counterparties

that 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

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

the

United

States.

A

decrease

in

imports

or

exports,

changes

in

trade

regulations,

inflation

and/or

an

economic

recession

in

the

United

States

may

have

a

material

adverse

effect

on

the

U.S.

economy

and

the

securities

listed

on

U.S.

exchanges.

Proposed

and

adopted

policy

and

legislative

changes

in

the

United

States

may

also

have

a

significant

effect

on

U.S.

markets

generally,

as

well

as

on

the

value

of

certain

securities.

Governmental

agencies

project

that

the

United

States

will

continue

to

maintain

elevated

public

debt

levels

for

the

foreseeable

future

which

may

constrain

future

economic

growth.

Circumstances

could

arise

that

could

prevent

the

timely

payment

of

interest

or

principal

on

U.S.

government

debt,

such

as

reaching

the

legislative

“debt

ceiling.”

Such

non-payment

would

result

in

substantial

negative

consequences

for

the

U.S.

economy

and

the

global

financial

system.

If

U.S.

relations

with

certain

countries

deteriorate,

it

could

adversely

affect

issuers

that

rely

on

the

United

States

for

trade.

The

United

States

has

also

experienced

increased

internal

unrest

and

discord.

If

these

trends

were

to

continue,

they

may

have

an

adverse

impact

on

the

U.S.

economy

and

the

issuers

in

which

the

Fund

invests. 

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

the

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

the

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.

Investors

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.

Investors

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

expenses

relating

to

investing

in

portfolio

securities.

Such

variable

charges,

if

any,

are

From

time

to

time,

settlement

of

securities

related

to

in-kind

contributions

or

in-kind

may

be

delayed.

In

such

cases,

(unaudited)

17

Statement

Regarding

Liquidity

Risk

Management

Program

In

compliance

with

Rule

22e-4

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended

(the

“Liquidity

Rule”),

iShares

Trust

(the

“Trust”)

has

adopted

and

implemented

a

liquidity

risk

management

program

(the

“Program”)

for iShares

Yield

Optimized

Bond

ETF (the

“Fund”

or

“ETF”),

a

series

of

the

Trust,

which

is

reasonably

designed

to

assess

and

manage the

Fund’s

liquidity

risk.

The

Board

of

Trustees

(the

“Board”)

of

the

Trust,

on

behalf

of

the

Fund,

met

on

December

9,

2022

(the

“Meeting”)

to

review

the

Program.

The

Board

previously

appointed

BlackRock

Fund

Advisors

(“BlackRock”),

the

investment

adviser

to

the

Fund,

as

the

program

administrator

for the

Fund’s

Program.

BlackRock

also

previously

delegated

oversight

of

the

Program

to

the

40

Act

Liquidity

Risk

Management

Committee

(the

“Committee”).

At

the

Meeting,

the

Committee,

on

behalf

of

BlackRock,

provided

the

Board

with

a

report

that

addressed

the

operation

of

the

Program

and

assessed

its

adequacy

and

effectiveness

of

implementation,

including

the

management

of the

Fund’s

Highly

Liquid

Investment

Minimum

(“HLIM”)

where

applicable,

and

any

material

changes

to

the

Program

(the

“Report”).

The

Report

covered

the

period

from

October

1,

2021

through

September

30,

2022

(the

“Program

Reporting

Period”).

The

Report

described

the

Program’s

liquidity

classification

methodology

for

categorizing the

Fund’s

investments

(including

derivative

transactions)

into

one

of

four

liquidity

buckets.

It

also

referenced

the

methodology

used

by

BlackRock

to

establish the

Fund’s

HLIM

and

noted

that

the

Committee

reviews

and

ratifies

the

HLIM

assigned

to the

Fund

no

less

frequently

than

annually.

The

Report

also

discussed

notable

events

affecting

liquidity

over

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

including

extended

market

holidays, the

imposition

of

capital

controls

in

certain

non-U.S.

countries,

Russian

sanctions

and

the

closure

of

the

Russian

securities

market.

The

Report

noted

that

the

Program

complied

with

the

key

factors

for

consideration

under

the

Liquidity

Rule

for

assessing,

managing

and

periodically

reviewing the

Fund’s

liquidity

risk,

as

follows:

a)

The

Fund’s

investment

strategy

and

liquidity

of

portfolio

investments

during

both

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions

.

During

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

the

Committee

reviewed

whether the

Fund’s

strategy

is

appropriate

for

an

open-end

fund

structure,

with

a

focus

on

funds

with

more

significant

and

consistent

holdings

of

less

liquid

and

illiquid

assets.

The

Committee

also

factored

a

fund’s

concentration

in

an

issuer

into

the

liquidity

classification

methodology

by

taking

issuer

position

sizes

into

account.

Derivative

exposure

was

also

considered

in

the

calculation

of

a

fund’s

liquidity

bucketing.

Finally,

a

factor

for

consideration

under

the

Liquidity

Rule

is

a

Fund’s

use

of

borrowings

for

investment

purposes.

However,

the

Funds

do

not

borrow

for

investment

purposes.

b)

Short-term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections

during

both

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions.

During

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

the

Committee

reviewed

historical

redemption

activity

and

used

this

information

as

a

component

to

establish

each

ETF’s

reasonably

anticipated

trading

size

(“RATS”).

The

Committee

may

also

take

into

consideration

a

fund’s

shareholder

ownership

concentration

(which,

depending

on

product

type

and

distribution

channel,

may

or

may

not

be

available),

a

fund’s

distribution

channels,

and

the

degree

of

certainty

associated

with

a

fund’s

short-term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections.

c)

Holdings

of

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

as

well

as

borrowing

arrangements.

The

Committee

considered

that

ETFs

generally

do

not

hold

more

than

de

minimis

amounts

of

cash.

The

Committee

also

considered

that

ETFs

generally

do

not

engage

in

borrowing.

d)

The

relationship

between

an

ETF’s

portfolio

liquidity

and

the

way

in

which,

and

the

prices

and

spreads

at

which,

ETF

shares

trade,

including

the

efficiency

of

the

arbitrage

function

and

the

level

of

active

participation

by

market

participants,

including

authorized

participants.

The

Committee

monitored

the

prevailing

bid/ask

spread

and

the

ETF

price

premium

(or

discount)

to

NAV

for

all

ETFs.

However,

there

were

no

ETFs

with

persistent

deviations

of

fund

premium/discount

or

bid/ask

spreads

from

long-term

averages

over

the

Program

Reporting

Period.

e)

The

effect

of

the

composition

of

baskets

on

the

overall

liquidity

of

an

ETF’s

portfolio.

In

reviewing

the

linkage

between

the

composition

of

custom

baskets

accepted

by

an

ETF

and

any

significant

change

in

the

liquidity

profile

of

such

ETF,

the

Committee

reviewed

changes

in

the

proportion

of

each

ETF’s

portfolio

comprised

of

less

liquid

and

illiquid

holdings

to

determine

if

applicable

thresholds

were

met

requiring

enhanced

review.

There

were

no

material

changes

to

the

Program

during

the

Program

Reporting

Period

other

than

the

enhancement

of

certain

model

components

in

the

Program’s

classification

methodology.

The

Report

provided

to

the

Board

stated

that

the

Committee

concluded

that

based

on

the

operation

of

the

functions,

as

described

in

the

Report,

the

Program

is

operating

as

intended

and

is

effective

in

implementing

the

requirements

of

the

Liquidity

Rule.
