Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW
U.S. bonds returned approximately 2% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”). The modest bond market returns reflected an inconsistent but moderate overall level of U.S. economic growth and low inflation. After generating its fastest quarterly growth rate in 11 years in the third quarter of 2014, the U.S. economy slowed over the next two quarters, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar (which made U.S. goods more expensive overseas) and severe winter weather in many regions of the country. The economy rebounded in the second and third quarters of 2015, led by strong employment growth — sending the unemployment rate to its lowest level since April 2008 — and robust vehicle sales.
Inflation stayed low throughout the reporting period, with the consumer price index increasing 0.2% for the reporting period. Falling energy prices, including a decline of more than 40% in the price of oil, contributed to the muted inflation rate.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) ended a two-year quantitative easing program and signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. However, the mixed economic data, lack of inflationary pressure, and slowing growth elsewhere in the world (particularly in China and other emerging economies) convinced the Fed to hold short-term interest rates steady throughout the reporting period.
Nonetheless, short-term bond yields generally rose during the reporting period in anticipation of a potential Fed interest rate increase. In contrast, intermediate- and long-term bond yields declined modestly for the reporting period, reflecting the benign inflationary environment and investor demand for U.S. bonds.
A number of other factors buffeted the fixed-income market during the reporting period. Geopolitical conflicts, most notably in Ukraine and across the Middle East, continued to have an effect on financial markets. Greece and Puerto Rico wrestled with potential defaults on their government debt. The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies during the reporting period, which made U.S. investments more attractive to international investors but created headwinds for the domestic economy.
Investor concerns brought on by many of these factors, as well as uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economy and Fed interest rate policy, led to a flight to quality during the reporting period. As a result, higher-quality bonds outperformed riskier assets for the reporting period.
Mortgage-backed securities were the leading performers for the reporting period. Both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities benefited from investor demand for high credit quality and relatively high yields. U.S. Treasury bonds were also among the better performers in the fixed-income market. In addition to the flight to quality, Treasury securities benefited from their interest-rate sensitivity as declining yields across most maturity sectors of the Treasury market led to rising bond prices. The primary exception was Treasury inflation-protected securities, which posted negative returns for the reporting period, reflecting a lack of investor demand for inflation protection.
Corporate bonds underperformed the broader bond market for the reporting period. Corporate bonds tend to have greater credit risk than other sectors of the bond market, and the broad flight to quality led to reduced demand for corporate securities. In particular, high-yield corporate bonds were among the only sectors of the bond market to decline for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® SHORT MATURITY BOND ETF
The iShares Short Maturity Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize current income by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade fixed income securities and maintain a weighted average maturity that is less than three years. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2015, the total return for the Fund was 0.62%, net of fees.
Short-term investment-grade bonds produced modestly positive returns for the reporting period, benefiting from a combination of high credit quality and attractive yields in a period of market uncertainty and low prevailing interest rates. However, interest rate volatility increased during the last half of the reporting period, driven by headlines around a potential Greek exit from the euro, a Chinese stock market correction, declining commodity prices, and the potential for a short-term interest rate increase by the Fed. At the same time, the corporate bond market experienced record levels of new issuance driven by heavy merger activity, share buybacks, and dividend payments. As a result, corporate bonds generally underperformed U.S. Treasury securities.
Against this backdrop, a decision to underweight Treasury securities in favor of higher-yielding bond sectors detracted marginally from Fund performance relative to the Barclays Short-Term Government/Corporate Index. However, many short-term corporate securities performed well during the reporting period, making the Fund’s allocation to investment-grade financial and industrial bonds key contributors. Another active decision that contributed to relative results was an overweight to securitized bonds, such as asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which benefited from strong investor demand for yield.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s allocation to short-term floating-rate securities increased, which lowered the Fund’s duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) in anticipation of a possible interest rate hike from the Fed. As a result, the Fund ended the reporting period with a duration of 0.40 years, the lowest level since the Fund’s inception in September 2013.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® SHORT MATURITY MUNICIPAL BOND ETF
The iShares Short Maturity Municipal Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize tax-free current income by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities such that the interest on each bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will also seek to maintain a weighted average maturity that is less than three years. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. For the period from March 3, 2015 (inception date of the Fund) through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the total return for the Fund was 0.48%, net of fees.
Short-term municipal bonds generated positive returns for the reporting period. Looking at the broad economic and interest rate backdrop, bonds generally rallied as a lack of inflation, a sharp decline in commodity prices, and disappointing growth in China helped support bond prices and lower yields. However, shorter-term securities were influenced more by expectations that the Fed would raise its short-term interest rate target at some point in 2015.
In the municipal bond market, favorable supply and demand trends contributed to a positive backdrop for performance. With investors concerned about the possibility that the Fed would raise short-term interest rates, the market saw significant demand for short-term bonds as investors maintained a defensive posture. In particular, municipal notes and bonds with remaining maturities of 13 months or less were in high demand as lower levels of supply remained a dominant theme.
The Fund performed well during the reporting period on both an absolute basis and relative (before fees) to the Barclays Municipal Bond: 1 Year (1-2) Index. Outperformance was derived mainly from security selection decisions among tax-backed local bonds, with an emphasis on newly issued securities. Additionally, security selection in the education sector, as well as municipal securities backed by corporate obligors, aided Fund performance. At the other end of the spectrum, an underweight position in the transportation sector detracted from performance relative to the Barclays Municipal Bond: 1 Year (1-2) Index, as did limited exposure to pre-refunded bonds.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF
The iShares Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (the “Fund”) (formerly the iShares Liquidity Income ETF) seeks to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade fixed- and floating-rate debt securities and maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity that is less than 180 days. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2015, the total return for the Fund was 0.32%, net of fees.
Short-term investment-grade bonds produced modestly positive returns for the reporting period as the Fed kept short-term interest rates unchanged. However, yields were somewhat volatile among one- to two-year securities as investors aimed to anticipate an expected interest rate increase from the Fed. Additional sources of rate volatility included a potential Greek exit from the euro, a Chinese stock market correction, and declining commodity prices.
At the same time, the corporate bond market experienced record levels of new issuance driven by heavy merger activity, share buybacks, and dividend payments. As a result, corporate bonds generally underperformed U.S. Treasury securities. Nevertheless, many short-term corporate securities performed well during the reporting period, benefiting from a combination of attractive yields, investment-grade credit quality, and short remaining maturities.
The Fund performed well on both an absolute basis and relative to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 6-Month US Treasury Bill Index during the reporting period. Sector allocation and security selection decisions contributed the most to Fund performance. From a sector allocation standpoint, the Fund’s allocation to high-quality corporate securities, particularly those issued by the financials sector, were key contributors to performance. In general, the Fund was focused primarily on corporate securities in the financials and industrials sectors, as Fund managers believed that these bonds provided more attractive risk-adjusted return potential relative to other short-term fixed-income sectors due to strong demand from investors seeking yield.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONSOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 11 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
Short Maturity Bond | | Non-diversified |
Short Maturity Municipal Bonda | | Diversified |
Ultra Short-Term Bondb | | Diversified |
| a | | The Fund commenced operations on March 3, 2015. |
| b | | Formerly the iShares Liquidity Income ETF. |
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| • | | Forward currency contracts are valued based on that day’s prevailing forward exchange rate for the underlying currencies. |
| | |
36 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
| • | | Repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Fund’s investments that are categorized as Level 3 were valued utilizing a single broker quote without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value in such Level 3 investments.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed repurchase amount. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Fund could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”). The MRA permits the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables with collateral held by and/or posted to the counterparty. As a result, one single net payment is created. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Based on the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price at maturity. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral. The liability reflects the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| a | | Collateral received in excess of the market value of repurchase agreements is not presented for financial reporting purposes. The total collateral received is disclosed in the Fund’s schedule of investments. |
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Funds as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The 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 the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their 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 October 31, 2015, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The market value of the loaned

securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of October 31, 2015 and the total value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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 Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
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 interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to each of the following Funds, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:
| | | | |
iShares ETF | | Investment Advisory Fee | |
Short Maturity Bond | | | 0.25 | % |
Ultra Short-Term Bond | | | 0.18 | |
| | | | |
For its investment advisory services to the iShares Short Maturity Municipal Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees through February 29, 2016 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates, if any.

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
BFA entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of BFA, under which BFA paid the Sub-Adviser for services it provided to the iShares Short Maturity Bond ETF. The sub-advisory agreement was terminated effective December 4, 2014.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, 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 “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Prior to January 1, 2015, each Fund retained 75% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2014 exceeded the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013 and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retained for the remainder of the calendar year 2014, 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the year ended October 31, 2015, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:
| | | | |
iShares ETF | | Fees Paid to BTC | |
Short Maturity Bond | | $ | 15,312 | |
Ultra Short-Term Bond | | | 126 | |
BlackRock Investments, LLC, 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.
Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the statements of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.
Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

Ultra Short-Term Bond | | | 3,529,398 | | | | 6,426,743 | |
There were no in-kind transactions for the year ended October 31, 2015.
4. | 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 for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.
5. | FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS |
Each Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against the effects of foreign currencies on the value of such Fund’s assets that are denominated in a non-U.S. currency. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a specified future date at an agreed upon price and quantity. Forward currency contracts are traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and not on an organized exchange. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed is recorded. Losses may arise if there are unfavorable movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar or if the counterparties do not meet the terms of the agreement. The Fund’s use of forward currency contracts also involves the risks of imperfect correlation between the value of its currency positions and its other investments or the Fund failing to close out its position due to an illiquid market.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the average quarter-end amounts purchased and sold in U.S. dollars for the iShares Short Maturity Bond ETF were $133,816 and $ 4,800,392, respectively.
The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds. In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds to mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with their derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Funds and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency.
The collateral requirements under an ISDA Master Agreement are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement, and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the parties. Forward currency contracts held by the Funds generally do not require collateral. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from the counterparty are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the statements of assets and liabilities.

In the normal course of business, each Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks each Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss each Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. Each Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in fixed income and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Funds may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, each Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The iShares Short Maturity Bond ETF and iShares Short Maturity Municipal Bond ETF each invests a substantial portion of its assets in high yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s), or are unrated which may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. High yield securities may also be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk than higher-rated securities and high yield securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price or to value than higher-rated securities. In particular, high yield securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) companies, which are generally less able than more financially stable companies to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
The iShares Short Maturity Municipal Bond ETF invests all or substantially all of its assets in municipal securities which are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to government regulation, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, such as those related to education, health care, housing, transportation, utilities, and water and sewer, conditions in these sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets.
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
I. iShares Short Maturity Bond ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Contract. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information. At a meeting held on May 21, 2015, management presented preliminary information to the Board relating to the continuance of the Advisory Contract, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information at length. The Independent Trustees requested from management certain additional information, which management agreed to provide. At a meeting held on June 24-25, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the additional information provided by management in response to these requests. After extensive discussions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the Fund, based on a review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA, including the additional information management provided at the request of the Independent Trustees. 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 Board also noted that the Board and BFA agreed to discuss potential enhancements and adjustments to the 15(c) process for the coming year. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. In approving the Advisory Contract for the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and reached the following conclusions:
Expenses and Performance of the Fund — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other exchange traded funds (including, where applicable, funds sponsored by an “at cost” service provider) and, in the limited instances where no comparable ETFs existed and the comparison group would not otherwise be reasonable in Lipper’s judgment, pure index institutional mutual funds, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Fund’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology (the “Lipper Group”). The Board was provided with a detailed description of Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology used by Lipper to determine the Fund’s Lipper Group. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information provided in Lipper’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 waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were lower than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group.
In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, ten-year, and since inception periods, as applicable, and the “last quarter” period ended December 31, 2014, and a comparison of the Fund’s performance to its performance benchmark index for the same periods. To the extent that any of the comparison funds included in the Lipper Group track the same index as the Fund, Lipper also provided, and the Board reviewed, a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of such relevant comparison funds for the same periods. The Board noted that the Fund generally performed in line with its performance benchmark index over the relevant periods. In considering this information, the Board noted that the Lipper Group may include funds that have a different investment objective and/or

benchmark from the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund seeks to track its own investment strategy or investment mandate and that, during the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Fund’s performance in comparison with its investment strategy or investment mandate. Such periodic comparative performance information, including detailed information on certain specific iShares funds requested by the Boards, was also considered.
Based on this review, the other factors 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 Contract for the coming year.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by BFA — Based on management’s representations, including information about recent and proposed enhancements to the iShares business, including with respect to shareholder servicing and support, the Board expected that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of or provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to 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 supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Fund. 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 appropriate officers 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures. The Board noted that the Fund had met its investment objective consistently since its inception date.
Based on review of this information, and the performance information discussed above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BFA to the Fund under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services Provided to the Fund and Profits Realized by BFA and Affiliates — The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BlackRock of the Fund based on the fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from the Fund’s operations for the last calendar year. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology for the iShares funds, noting that the 15(c) Committee had focused on the methodology and proposed presentation during its meetings. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BTC from securities lending by the Fund. The Board also discussed BFA’s 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 profits realized by BFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Fund and BFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within a reasonable range in light of the factors considered.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the 15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at

inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract 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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. The Board noted that BFA and its affiliates do manage Other Accounts with a similar investment strategy or investment mandate as the Fund. The Board further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.
Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — The Board reviewed the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Fund by BFA, such as payment of revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, for loaning portfolio securities (which was included in the profit margins reviewed by the Board pursuant to BFA’s profitability methodology), and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. 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 further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract 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 that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Funds. The information shown for each Fund is for five calendar years (or from the inception date of such Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Trustee and Officer Information
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
The Board of Trustees has responsibility for the overall management and operations of the Trust, including general supervision of the duties performed by BFA and other service providers. Each Trustee serves until he or she resigns, is removed, dies, retires or becomes incapacitated. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her death, or his or her resignation or removal. Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust are referred to as independent trustees (“Independent Trustees”).
The registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates are organized into one complex of closed-end funds, two complexes of open-end funds and one complex of exchange-traded funds (“Exchange-Traded Fund Complex”) (each, a “BlackRock Fund Complex”).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW
U.S. bonds returned approximately 2% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”). The modest bond market returns reflected an inconsistent but moderate overall level of U.S. economic growth and low inflation. After generating its fastest quarterly growth rate in 11 years in the third quarter of 2014, the U.S. economy slowed over the next two quarters, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar (which made U.S. goods more expensive overseas) and severe winter weather in many regions of the country. The economy rebounded in the second and third quarters of 2015, led by strong employment growth — sending the unemployment rate to its lowest level since April 2008 — and robust vehicle sales.
Inflation stayed low throughout the reporting period, with the consumer price index increasing 0.2% for the reporting period. Falling energy prices, including a decline of more than 40% in the price of oil, contributed to the muted inflation rate.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) ended a two-year quantitative easing program and signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. However, the mixed economic data, lack of inflationary pressure, and slowing growth elsewhere in the world (particularly in China and other emerging economies) convinced the Fed to hold short-term interest rates steady throughout the reporting period.
Nonetheless, short-term bond yields generally rose during the reporting period in anticipation of a potential Fed interest rate increase. In contrast, intermediate- and long-term bond yields declined modestly for the reporting period, reflecting the benign inflationary environment and investor demand for U.S. bonds.
A number of other factors buffeted the fixed-income market during the reporting period. Geopolitical conflicts, most notably in Ukraine and across the Middle East, continued to have an effect on financial markets. Greece and Puerto Rico wrestled with potential defaults on their government debt. The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies during the reporting period, which made U.S. investments more attractive to international investors but created headwinds for the domestic economy.
Investor concerns brought on by many of these factors, as well as uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economy and Fed interest rate policy, led to a flight to quality during the reporting period. As a result, higher-quality bonds outperformed riskier assets for the reporting period.
Mortgage-backed securities were the leading performers for the reporting period. Both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities benefited from investor demand for high credit quality and relatively high yields. U.S. Treasury bonds were also among the better performers in the fixed-income market. In addition to the flight to quality, Treasury securities benefited from their interest-rate sensitivity as declining yields across most maturity sectors of the Treasury market led to rising bond prices. The primary exception was Treasury inflation- protected securities, which posted negative returns for the reporting period, reflecting a lack of investor demand for inflation protection.
Corporate bonds underperformed the broader bond market for the reporting period. Corporate bonds tend to have greater credit risk than other sectors of the bond market, and the broad flight to quality led to reduced demand for corporate securities. In particular, high-yield corporate bonds were among the only sectors of the bond market to decline for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED HIGH YIELD BOND ETF
The iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to mitigate the interest rate risk of a portfolio composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, high yield corporate bonds. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in one underlying fund, the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (“HYG”). The Fund attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk of HYG by holding short positions in U.S. Treasury futures or interest rate swaps. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2015, the total return for the Fund was -4.77%, net of fees.
High-yield corporate bond securities (as represented by the Fund’s investment in HYG), posted a negative return for the reporting period, as weakening fundamentals and a selloff in commodities hurt performance. Hedging activity further detracted from the Fund’s return, as longer-term yields declined.
Corporate profits contracted in the second half of the reporting period, as declining oil and gas prices hindered earnings for energy-related companies, and the stronger U.S. dollar reduced revenue for many U.S. corporations. As a result, high-yield bond issuance declined somewhat late in the reporting period, although issuance remained relatively solid. Low interest rates encouraged corporations to issue new debt for refinancing, as well as for merger and acquisition activity. High-yield default rates also remained low relative to the historical average.
Nevertheless, the high-yield bond market generated negative returns, as the yield premium over Treasuries increased, reflecting investors’ risk aversion and weakening corporate fundamentals. In broad terms, higher-quality bonds contributed positively to HYG’s performance, while lower-quality bonds detracted from performance. From a sector perspective, industrial bonds declined during the reporting period. In particular, bonds issued by energy companies were hardest hit. The energy sector had weak performance and generated the majority of HYG’s negative return for the reporting period. The energy sector’s negative performance offset the positive contribution of bonds in the financial and consumer cyclical sectors.

iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED CORPORATE BOND ETF
The iShares Interest Rate Hedged Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to mitigate the interest rate risk of a portfolio composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in one underlying fund, the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (“LQD”). The Fund attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk of LQD by holding short positions in U.S. Treasury futures or interest rate swaps. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2015, the total return for the Fund was -2.97%, net of fees.
The Fund declined by approximately 3% for the reporting period. During the reporting period, investment-grade corporate bonds (as represented by the Fund’s investment in LQD) posted a modest positive return, as demand for corporate bonds remained relatively healthy despite weakening corporate earnings. Hedging activity detracted from the Fund’s return for the reporting period, as longer-term yields fell.
Corporate profits slowed in the second half of the reporting period, as declining oil and gas prices hindered earnings for energy-related companies, and the stronger U.S. dollar reduced revenue for many U.S. corporations. Nevertheless, investment-grade bond issuance hit record highs, as corporations sought to lock in low interest rates. The corporate debt load nearly hit a 10-year high during the reporting period due to the high level of borrowing in recent years.
The corporate bonds held within LQD generated a modest positive return during the reporting period, although most of the return resulted from declining long-term interest rates, as opposed to yield premiums for corporate bonds. The Fund’s hedging activity countered the effect of declining interest rates, which meant a negative return for the Fund overall due to higher corporate yield premiums. From a sector perspective, bonds in the banking sector helped performance the most, while bonds in the energy sector detracted the most during the reporting period. From a credit perspective, higher-quality bonds delivered positive contributions to return, while lower-quality bonds had a negative impact.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONSOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 9 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification
Classification |
Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond | | Diversified |
Interest Rate Hedged Corporate Bond | | Diversified |
Currently each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in an exchange-traded fund of iShares Trust (an “underlying fund”), an affiliate of the Funds. The financial statements and schedules of investments for the underlying funds, can be found elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the 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 are valued at the last traded price. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| | |

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
| • | | Futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
| • | | Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by independent pricing services or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from other iShares funds held, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend its investment 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 a bank,
| | |
20 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
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 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 Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds, and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2015 any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of October 31, 2015 and the total value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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 Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of October 31, 2015:

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
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 interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to the iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.65% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). The total of the investment advisory fee and acquired fund fees and expenses is a fund’s total annual operating expense. BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees through February 28, 2017 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates. BFA has also contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2017 on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (“HYG”) (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the securities in HYG’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee is equal to HYG’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.05%. Prior to June 29, 2015, BFA reduced its investment advisory fees on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in HYG (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the Fund’s exposure to the securities in HYG’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee was equal to HYG’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.15% and the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver did not exceed 0.55% of average daily net assets.
For its investment advisory services to the iShares Interest Rate Hedged Corporate Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.30% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays acquired fund fees and expenses. BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees through February 28, 2017 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates. BFA has also contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2017 on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (“LQD”) (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the securities in LQD’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee is equal to LQD’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.10%. Prior to June 29, 2015, BFA reduced its investment advisory fees on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in LQD (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the Fund’s exposure to the securities in LQD’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee was equal to LQD’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.15% and the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver did not exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, 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 “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across

all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Prior to January 1, 2015, each Fund retained 75% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2014 exceeded the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013 and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retained for the remainder of the calendar year 2014, 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 65% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the year ended October 31, 2015 the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

BlackRock Investments, LLC, 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.
Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the statements of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.

4. | 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 for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.
Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.

Each Fund may enter into short positions in interest rate swaps in an attempt to mitigate interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of fixed rate bonds, which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. Each Fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (“CCP”) and the CCP becomes the Funds’ counterparty on the swap. Each Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, each Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap and the margin requirements of the CCP. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the schedules of investments and cash deposited is recorded on the statements of assets and liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 25 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the statements of assets and liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the CCP, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the statements of operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

In the normal course of business, each Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks each Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss each Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. Each Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of it direct or indirect investment in fixed income and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Funds may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets indirectly in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets indirectly in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, each Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF invests a substantial portion of its assets indirectly in high yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s), or are unrated which may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. High yield securities may also be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk than higher-rated securities and high yield securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price or to value than higher-rated securities. In particular, high yield securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) companies, which are generally less able than more financially stable companies to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of October 31, 2015, attributable to the accounting for swap agreements and realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
I. iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Contract. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information. At a meeting held on May 21, 2015, management presented preliminary information to the Board relating to the continuance of the Advisory Contract, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information at length. The Independent Trustees requested from management certain additional information, which management agreed to provide. At a meeting held on June 24-25, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the additional information provided by management in response to these requests. After extensive discussions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the Fund, based on a review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA, including the additional information management provided at the request of the Independent Trustees. 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 Board also noted that the Board and BFA agreed to discuss potential enhancements and adjustments to the 15(c) process for the coming year. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. In approving the Advisory Contract for the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and reached the following conclusions:
Expenses and Performance of the Fund — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other exchange traded funds (including, where applicable, funds sponsored by an “at cost” service provider) and, in the limited instances where no comparable ETFs existed and the comparison group would not otherwise be reasonable in Lipper’s judgment, pure index institutional mutual funds, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Fund’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology (the “Lipper Group”). The Board was provided with a detailed description of Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology used by Lipper to determine the Fund’s Lipper Group. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information provided in Lipper’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 waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were higher than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group, and in the 5th quintile. The Board further noted that the Fund’s pricing reflects its interest rate hedging strategy and its narrower, more specialized exposure, as compared to many of the competitor funds as determined by Lipper, which are not interest rate hedged.
In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, ten-year, and since inception periods, as applicable, and the “last quarter” period ended December 31, 2014, and a comparison of the Fund’s performance to its performance benchmark index for the same periods. To the extent that any of the comparison funds included in the Lipper Group track the same index as the Fund, Lipper also provided, and the Board reviewed, a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of such relevant comparison funds for the same periods. The Board noted that

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
the Fund generally performed in line with its performance benchmark index over the relevant periods. In considering this information, the Board noted that the Lipper Group may include funds that have a different investment objective and/or benchmark from the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund seeks to track its own investment strategy or investment mandate and that, during the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Fund’s performance in comparison with its investment strategy or investment mandate. Such periodic comparative performance information, including detailed information on certain specific iShares funds requested by the Boards, was also considered.
Based on this review, the other factors 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 Contract for the coming year.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by BFA — Based on management’s representations, including information about recent and proposed enhancements to the iShares business, including with respect to shareholder servicing and support, the Board expected that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of or provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to 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 supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Fund. 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 appropriate officers 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures. The Board noted that the Fund had met its investment objective consistently since its inception date.
Based on review of this information, and the performance information discussed above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BFA to the Fund under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services Provided to the Fund and Profits Realized by BFA and Affiliates — The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BlackRock of the Fund based on the fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from the Fund’s operations for the last calendar year. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology for the iShares funds, noting that the 15(c) Committee had focused on the methodology and proposed presentation during its meetings. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BTC from securities lending by the Fund. The Board also discussed BFA’s 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 profits realized by BFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Fund and BFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within a reasonable range in light of the factors considered.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the
| | | | |

15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that to the extent that the Fund invests in the unhedged iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (“HYG”), Fund shareholders would benefit from breakpoints in HYG’s investment advisory fee rates as the assets of HYG, on an aggregated basis with the assets another iShares fund, increase. The Board further noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract 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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. The Board noted that BFA and its affiliates do manage Other Accounts with a similar investment strategy or investment mandate as the Fund. The Board further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.
Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — The Board reviewed the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Fund by BFA, such as payment of revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, for loaning portfolio securities (which was included in the profit margins reviewed by the Board pursuant to BFA’s profitability methodology), and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. 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 further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as

applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract 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 that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
II. iShares Interest Rate Hedged Corporate Bond ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Contract. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information.

The Board also noted that the investment advisory fee rate and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were higher than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group. The Board further noted that the Lipper Group contained only five funds.
In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, ten-year, and since inception periods, as applicable, and the “last quarter” period ended December 31, 2014, and a comparison of the Fund’s performance to its performance benchmark index for the same periods. To the extent that any of the comparison funds included in the Lipper Group track the same index as the Fund, Lipper also provided, and the Board reviewed, a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of such relevant comparison funds for the same periods. The Board noted that the Fund generally performed in line with its performance benchmark index over the relevant periods. In considering this information, the Board noted that the Lipper Group may include funds that have a different investment objective and/or benchmark from the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund seeks to track its own investment strategy or investment mandate and that, during the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Fund’s performance in comparison with its investment strategy or investment mandate. Such periodic comparative performance information, including detailed information on certain specific iShares funds requested by the Boards, was also considered.
Based on this review, the other factors 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 Contract for the coming year.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by BFA — Based on management’s representations, including information about recent and proposed enhancements to the iShares business, including with respect to shareholder servicing and support, the Board expected that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of or provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract for the coming year as compared to 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 supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Fund. 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 appropriate officers 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures. The Board noted that the Fund had met its investment objective consistently since its inception date.
Based on review of this information, and the performance information discussed above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BFA to the Fund under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services Provided to the Fund and Profits Realized by BFA and Affiliates — The Board reviewed information about the profitability to BlackRock of the Fund based on the fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Contract), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from the Fund’s operations for the last calendar year. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology for the iShares funds, noting that the 15(c) Committee had

Contract (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. ETF TRUST
focused on the methodology and proposed presentation during its meetings. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BTC from securities lending by the Fund. The Board also discussed BFA’s 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 profits realized by BFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Contract and from other relationships between the Fund and BFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within a reasonable range in light of the factors considered.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the 15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that to the extent that the Fund invests in the unhedged iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (“LQD”), Fund shareholders would benefit from breakpoints in LQD’s investment advisory fee rates as the assets of LQD, on an aggregated basis with the assets of other iShares funds, increase. The Board further noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract 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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. The Board noted that BFA and its affiliates do manage Other Accounts with a similar investment strategy or investment mandate as the Fund. The Board further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.

Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — The Board reviewed the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Fund by BFA, such as payment of revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, for loaning portfolio securities (which was included in the profit margins reviewed by the Board pursuant to BFA’s profitability methodology), and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. 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 further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract 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 that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Funds. The information shown for each Fund is for five calendar years (or from the inception date of such Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
iSHARES® TRUST
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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.
These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond | | Diversified |
iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond | | Diversified |
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 163 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® TRUST
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value 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.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors

(“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. The value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2015 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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 Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
The following table is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2015:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, including securities lending. The guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
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 interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, 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 “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Prior to January 1, 2015, each Fund retained 75% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2014 exceeded the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retained for the remainder of calendar year 2014, 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

4. | 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 net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.
In the normal course of business, each Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks each Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 169 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® TRUST
BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each 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.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss each Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. Each Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in fixed income instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Funds may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions, including the decision in December 2013 by the Federal Reserve Bank to taper its quantitative easing policy, may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, each Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF invests a substantial portion of its assets in high yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-“by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch or

“Baa3” by Moody’s), or are unrated which may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. High yield securities may also be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk than higher-rated securities and high yield securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price or to value than higher-rated securities. In particular, high yield securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) companies, which are generally less able than more financially stable companies to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2015, attributable to realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2015, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW
U.S. bonds returned approximately 2% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”). The modest bond market returns reflected an inconsistent but moderate overall level of U.S. economic growth and low inflation. After generating its fastest quarterly growth rate in 11 years in the third quarter of 2014, the U.S. economy slowed over the next two quarters, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar (which made U.S. goods more expensive overseas) and severe winter weather in many regions of the country. The economy rebounded in the second and third quarters of 2015, led by strong employment growth—sending the unemployment rate to its lowest level since April 2008 — and robust vehicle sales.
Inflation stayed low throughout the reporting period, with the consumer price index increasing 0. 2% for the reporting period. Falling energy prices, including a decline of more than 40% in the price of oil, contributed to the muted inflation rate.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) ended a two-year quantitative easing program and signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. However, the mixed economic data, lack of inflationary pressure, and slowing growth elsewhere in the world (particularly in China and other emerging economies) convinced the Fed to hold short-term interest rates steady throughout the reporting period.
Nonetheless, short-term bond yields generally rose during the reporting period in anticipation of a potential Fed interest rate increase. In contrast, intermediate- and long-term bond yields declined modestly for the reporting period, reflecting the benign inflationary environment and investor demand for U.S. bonds.
A number of other factors buffeted the fixed-income market during the reporting period. Geopolitical conflicts, most notably in Ukraine and across the Middle East, continued to have an effect on financial markets. Greece and Puerto Rico wrestled with potential defaults on their government debt. The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies during the reporting period, which made U.S. investments more attractive to international investors but created headwinds for the domestic economy.
Investor concerns brought on by many of these factors, as well as uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economy and Fed interest rate policy, led to a flight to quality during the reporting period. As a result, higher-quality bonds outperformed riskier assets for the reporting period.
Mortgage-backed securities were the leading performers for the reporting period. Both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities benefited from investor demand for high credit quality and relatively high yields. U.S. Treasury bonds were also among the better performers in the fixed-income market. In addition to the flight to quality, Treasury securities benefited from their interest-rate sensitivity as declining yields across most maturity sectors of the Treasury market led to rising bond prices. The primary exception was Treasury inflation-protected securities, which posted negative returns for the reporting period, reflecting a lack of investor demand for inflation protection.
Corporate bonds underperformed the broader bond market for the reporting period. Corporate bonds tend to have greater credit risk than other sectors of the bond market, and the broad flight to quality led to reduced demand for corporate securities. In particular, high-yield corporate bonds were among the only sectors of the bond market to decline for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
The iShares Interest Rate Hedged 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to mitigate the interest rate risk of a portfolio composed of investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds and U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, including those of non-U.S. corporations and governments, with remaining maturities greater than ten years. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in one underlying fund, the iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF (“CLY”). The Fund attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk of CLY by holding short positions in U.S. Treasury futures or interest rate swaps. For the period from July 22, 2015 (inception date of the Fund) through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the total return for the Fund was -3.19%, net of fees.
The Fund declined by approximately 3% for the reporting period. During the reporting period, investment-grade corporate bonds (as represented by the Fund’s investment in CLY) experienced a modest positive return. The interest rate hedging activity detracted from Fund performance during the reporting period, as U.S. bond yields declined overall.
Long-term corporate bonds experienced significant volatility during the reporting period. One factor was uncertainty surrounding a potential interest rate increase by the Fed, which had signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. However, decelerating global economic growth, particularly in China, and a lack of inflation led the Fed to hold its short-term interest rate target steady throughout the reporting period.
Another factor was a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduced demand for exports and crimped corporate profit margins for multinational companies, putting downward pressure on corporate bonds. During the last month of the reporting period, however, economic and interest rate policy concerns subsided, paving the way for a rebound in long-term corporate bonds.
From a credit perspective, higher-rated investment-grade bonds generally outperformed lower-rated securities within CLY during the reporting period, as a flight to quality helped higher-quality bonds outperform riskier assets.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 7 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 (or commencement of operations, as applicable) and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
Interest Rate Hedged 10+ Year Credit Bonda | | Diversified |
| a | | The Fund commenced operations on July 22, 2015. |
Currently the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in an exchange-traded fund of iShares Trust (an “underlying fund”), an affiliate of the Fund. The financial statement and schedule of investments for the underlying fund can be found elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the 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 are valued at the last traded price. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| • | | Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by independent pricing services or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. |

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from other iShares funds held, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.35% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees through February 28, 2017 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates. BFA has also contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2017 on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in the iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF (“CLY”) (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the securities in CLY’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee is equal to CLY’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.10%.

The Fund may enter into short positions in interest rate swaps in an attempt to mitigate interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of fixed rate bonds, which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. The Fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (“CCP”) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty on the swap. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the schedule of investments and cash deposited is recorded on the statement of assets and liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the statement of assets and liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the CCP, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the statement of operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
The following table shows the value of interest rate swaps held by the Fund as of October 31, 2015 and the related locations in the statement of assets and liabilities, presented by risk exposure category:

In the normal course of business, the Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks the Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its direct or indirect investment in fixed income and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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 substantial amount of its assets indirectly in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets indirectly in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of October 31, 2015, attributable to the accounting for swap agreements, were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income/Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income | | Undistributed Net Realized Gain/Accumulated Net Realized Loss |
$(18,803) | | $18,803 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended October 31, 2015 was as follows:
| | | | |
| | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 22,101 | |
Return of capital | | | 11,253 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 33,354 | |

As of October 31, 2015, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:

$ (16,141) | | | $(26,552) | | | $ | (42,693) | |
| a | | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $16,141 available to offset future realized capital gains.

As of October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $7,992,349. Net unrealized appreciation was $31,610, of which $32,410 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $800 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of October 31, 2015, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Contract. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information. At a meeting held on May 21, 2015, management presented preliminary information to the Board relating to the continuance of the Advisory Contract, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information at length. The Independent Trustees requested from management certain additional information, which management agreed to provide. At a meeting held on June 24-25, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the additional information provided by management in response to these requests. After extensive discussions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the Fund, based on a review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA, including the additional information management provided at the request of the Independent Trustees. 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 Board also noted that the Board and BFA agreed to discuss potential enhancements and adjustments to the 15(c) process for the coming year. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. In approving the Advisory Contract for the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and reached the following conclusions:
Expenses and Performance of the Fund — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other exchange traded funds (including, where applicable, funds sponsored by an “at cost” service provider) and, in the limited instances where no comparable ETFs existed and the comparison group would not otherwise be reasonable in Lipper’s judgment, pure index institutional mutual funds, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Fund’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology (the “Lipper Group”). The Board was provided with a detailed description of Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology used by Lipper to determine the Fund’s Lipper Group. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information provided in Lipper’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 waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were higher than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group. The Board further noted that the Fund’s pricing reflects its interest rate hedging strategy, as compared to many of the competitor funds as determined by Lipper, which are not interest rate hedged. In addition, the Board noted that the Lipper Group contained only four funds.
Because the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014, the Board did not review any performance information for the Fund.
Based on this review, the other factors considered at the meeting, and their general knowledge of ETF pricing, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fee rate and expense level of the Fund supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by BFA — The Board noted that the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014, and reviewed the scope of services to be provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract. 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 supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board considered representations by BFA, BTC, and BlackRock that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Fund would be similar to the scope and quality of services provided to other iShares funds. The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to other iShares funds. 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 appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, as well as the resources that will be 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures.
Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BFA to the Fund under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services to be Provided to the Fund and Profits to be Realized by BFA and Affiliates — While the Board reviewed information about the profitability of the iShares complex to BlackRock based on fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under advisory contracts with iShares funds), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from iShares funds’ operations for the last calendar year, the Board did not consider the profitability of the Fund to BFA and its affiliates since the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014. The Board noted that it expects to receive profitability information from BFA on at least an annual basis following the Fund’s launch and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any new or additional breakpoints or other adjustments in Fund fees would be appropriate.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the 15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF
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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. 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 further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services to be provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses to be borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.
Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — Except as noted below, the Board did not consider the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue to be received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services to be provided to the Fund by BFA, since the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014. However, 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 considered the potential payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. The Board also considered the potential for revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, and its affiliates in the event of any loaning of portfolio securities of the Fund. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, will be reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract does not constitute a fee that is so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services to be rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Fund. The information shown for the Fund is for five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for the Fund are disclosed in the table for the Fund.
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

iSHARES® TRUST
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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.
These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
1-3 Year Credit Bond | | Diversified |
10+ Year Credit Bond | | Diversified |
Core U.S. Credit Bonda | | Diversified |
Intermediate Credit Bond | | Diversified |
| a | | Formerly the iShares Credit Bond ETF. |
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to |
| | |
228 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® TRUST
| transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV). |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value 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.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. The value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2015 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.
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 Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, including securities lending. The guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
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 interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to each of the iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF and iShares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on each Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
| | | | | |
Investment Advisory Fee | | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets |
| | 0.2000 | % | | First $121 billion |
| | 0.1900 | a | | Over $121 billion, up to and including $211 billion |
| | 0.1805 | a | | Over $211 billion |
| a | | Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level. |
For its investment advisory services to the iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.20% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
Effective June 12, 2014, for its investment advisory services to the iShares Core U.S. Credit Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.15% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to June 12, 2014, for its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA was entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.20% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, 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 “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit a remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Prior to January 1, 2015, each Fund retained 75% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2014 exceeded the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in calendar year 2013 and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retained for the remainder of calendar year 2014, 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the year ended February 28, 2015, each Fund paid to BTC the following amounts in total for securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees:
| | | | |
iShares ETF | | Fees Paid to BTC | |
1-3 Year Credit Bond | | $ | 346,913 | |
10+ Year Credit Bond | | | 28,687 | |
Core U.S. Credit Bond | | | 60,663 | |
Intermediate Credit Bond | | | 492,212 | |
BlackRock Investments, LLC, 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.
Cross trades for the year ended February 28, 2015, if any, were executed by the Funds pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.
Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the statements of operations.

Intermediate Credit Bond | | | 1,538,513,869 | | | | 1,823,302,031 | |
4. | 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 net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.
In the normal course of business, each Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks each Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each 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.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss each Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. Each Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in fixed income instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Funds may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that
| | |
236 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® TRUST
affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions, including the decision in December 2013 by the Federal Reserve Bank to taper its quantitative easing policy, may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, each Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences
| | | | |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
GLOBAL BOND MARKET OVERVIEW
Global bonds generally produced negative returns in U.S. dollar terms for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), after accounting for the effects of a stronger U.S. currency. Interest rates declined modestly in most markets amid uncertainty around global economic growth; however, for U.S. investors, a stronger U.S. dollar detracted from performance as overseas investments were worth less when translated back into U.S. dollars.
Global economic data were mixed. The U.S. and U.K. experienced comparatively healthy growth, with GDP expanding by 2.0% and 2.3%, respectively, through September 2015, while eurozone economic growth ran at a 1.5% annual rate through the third quarter. However, the Japanese economy contracted in two of the last four quarters, while China saw growth fall below the 7% threshold to its slowest pace since 2009.
In addition to disappointing growth, China witnessed a sharp stock market decline, currency devaluation, and a raft of monetary and policy changes meant to prop up markets. These challenges, coupled with worry about a possible Greek exit from the European common currency, led to a sell-off in risk assets and safe-haven demand for high-quality bonds.
Slower growth in China and other emerging markets also weighed on commodity markets, with prices for many key commodities falling during the fiscal year. This provided additional support for bonds in general because it meant downward pressure on inflation. In the European Union and U.K., consumer prices actually declined for the 12 months ended in September, while inflation in Japan and the U.S. was relatively flat year over year.
Despite these positives, bonds sold off and market volatility surged during the summer, when economic growth in Europe improved, corporations rushed to issue new debt, and investors began to price in the likelihood of an interest rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”).
From a sector perspective, government agency mortgage-backed securities and government bonds performed best for the reporting period. Investor concern about risk assets and surging new bond issuance generally limited returns for corporate securities. And within the corporate market, high-quality bonds generally outperformed high-yield bonds. Sharply declining commodities prices dragged down high-yield bonds. Nevertheless, many sectors of the global corporate bond market produced positive results. For example, banks were among the best-performing industries as growth improved in the eurozone and U.S., and the Fed was expected to begin raising rates.
In terms of performance by country for the reporting period, Australian bonds performed well in local currency terms, but fared poorly after taking currency effects into account. It was a similar story for bonds from across Europe, where low inflation and strong demand meant falling interest rates and higher bond prices, only to see this performance be counteracted by weakness in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar. In Japan, too, aggressive monetary policy, disappointing growth, and the absence of inflation meant falling bond yields. But an attempt to stimulate the economy by cutting interest rates and weakening the yen had the effect of limiting Japanese bond returns for U.S. investors.
Specifically, the U.S. dollar appreciated by approximately 4% relative to the British pound, 16% and 23% against the commodity-driven Canadian and Australian dollars, respectively, 14% against the euro, and 8% against the Japanese yen. The U.S. dollar’s strength during the reporting period was driven by the divergence in economic growth and central bank policies between the U.S. and other regions.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
The iShares Interest Rate Hedged Emerging Markets Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to mitigate the interest rate risk of a portfolio composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, emerging market bonds. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in one underlying fund, the iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (“EMB”). The Fund attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk of EMB by holding short positions in U.S. Treasury futures or interest rate swaps. For the period from July 22, 2015 (inception date of the Fund) through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the total return for the Fund was -2.43%, net of fees.
The Fund declined by approximately 2% for the reporting period. During the reporting period, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds (as represented by the Fund’s investment in EMB) posted a modestly positive return. The interest rate hedging activity detracted from Fund performance, as longer-term yields declined.
Emerging market bonds experienced significant volatility during the reporting period. Uncertainty surrounding a potential short-term interest rate increase by the Fed, decelerating global economic growth (particularly in China), and a broad decline in commodity prices contributed to a decline in Fund performance throughout much of the reporting period. However, the Fund rebounded during the last month of the reporting period as these concerns subsided, paving the way for positive performance.
From a regional perspective, emerging markets bonds in Europe had a positive impact on EMB’s performance during the reporting period, led by Ukraine, Russia, and Hungary. In contrast, African emerging markets bonds detracted the most from EMB’s return. Bonds issued by Zambia and South Africa had the most significant negative impact in this region.
Emerging markets bonds from Latin America, the largest regional weighting within EMB, produced mixed results. Bonds issued by Brazil and Ecuador were among the detractors from performance, but this was offset by contributions to return by Argentina and Venezuela.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 7 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 (or commencement of operations, as applicable) and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
Interest Rate Hedged Emerging Markets Bonda | | Non-diversified |
| a | | The Fund commenced operations on July 22, 2015. |
Currently the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a substantial portion of its assets in an exchange-traded fund of iShares Trust (an “underlying fund”), an affiliate of the Fund. The financial statement and schedule of investments for the underlying fund can be found elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the 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 are valued at the last traded price. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| | |

iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
| • | | Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by independent pricing services or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from other iShares funds held, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 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. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by
| | |
16 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedule of investments. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of October 31, 2015 and the total value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.
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 securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of October 31, 2015:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the 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 Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.75% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees through February 28, 2017 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies. BFA has also contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2017 on assets attributable to the Fund’s investments in the iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (“EMB”) (and those assets used by the Fund to hedge the securities in EMB’s portfolio) such that the Fund’s total annual investment advisory fee is equal to EMB’s net total expense ratio after fee waiver plus 0.10%.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 17 | |

iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, the Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the period ended October 31, 2015, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $1,126.
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.
The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest - affiliated” in the statement of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.
Investments in issuers considered to be affiliates of the Fund (excluding money market funds) during the period ended October 31, 2015, for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, were as follows:

4. | 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 for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statement of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statement of changes in net assets.
The Fund may enter into short positions in interest rate swaps in an attempt to mitigate interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of fixed rate bonds, which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. The Fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (“CCP”) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty on the swap. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the schedule of investments and cash deposited is recorded on the statement of assets and liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the statement of assets and liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the CCP, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the statement of operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

In the normal course of business, the Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks the Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its direct or indirect investment in fixed income and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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 substantial amount of its assets indirectly in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

The United States and the European Union, along with the regulatory bodies of a number of countries including Japan, Australia and Canada (collectively, “Sanctioning Bodies”), have imposed sectorial economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and Russian corporate entities which include prohibitions on transacting in or dealing in new debt of longer than 30 or 90 days maturity or new equity of such issuers. Securities held indirectly by the Fund issued prior to the date of the sanctions being imposed are not currently subject to any restrictions under the sanctions. However, compliance with each of these sanctions may impair the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, hold, receive or deliver the affected securities or other securities of such issuers. The Sanctioning Bodies could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. Current or future sanctions may result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities. These retaliatory measures may include the immediate freeze of Russian assets held by a Fund.
The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets indirectly in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets indirectly in high yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s), or are unrated which may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. High yield securities may also be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk than higher-rated securities and high yield securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price or to value than higher-rated securities. In particular, high yield securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) companies, which are generally less able than more financially stable companies to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
iShares U.S. ETF Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iShares Interest Rate Hedged Emerging Markets Bond ETF (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2015, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period July 22, 2015 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”) on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Contract. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information. At a meeting held on May 21, 2015, management presented preliminary information to the Board relating to the continuance of the Advisory Contract, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information at length. The Independent Trustees requested from management certain additional information, which management agreed to provide. At a meeting held on June 24-25, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the additional information provided by management in response to these requests. After extensive discussions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the Fund, based on a review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA, including the additional information management provided at the request of the Independent Trustees. 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 Board also noted that the Board and BFA agreed to discuss potential enhancements and adjustments to the 15(c) process for the coming year. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. In approving the Advisory Contract for the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and reached the following conclusions:
Expenses and Performance of the Fund — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other exchange traded funds (including, where applicable, funds sponsored by an “at cost” service provider) and, in the limited instances where no comparable ETFs existed and the comparison group would not otherwise be reasonable in Lipper’s judgment, pure index institutional mutual funds, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Fund’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology (the “Lipper Group”). The Board was provided with a detailed description of Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology used by Lipper to determine the Fund’s Lipper Group. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information provided in Lipper’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 waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were higher than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group, and in the 5th Lipper quintile. The Board further noted that the Fund’s pricing reflects its interest rate hedging strategy, as compared to all of the competitor funds identified by Lipper, which are not interest rate hedged.
Because the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014, the Board did not review any performance information for the Fund.
Based on this review, the other factors considered at the meeting, and their general knowledge of ETF pricing, the Board concluded that the investment advisory fee rate and expense level of the Fund supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by BFA — The Board noted that the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014, and reviewed the scope of services to be provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract. 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 supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board considered representations by BFA, BTC, and BlackRock that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Fund would be similar to the scope and quality of services provided to other iShares funds. The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to other iShares funds. 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 appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, as well as the resources that will be 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures.
Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BFA to the Fund under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Costs of Services to be Provided to the Fund and Profits to be Realized by BFA and Affiliates — While the Board reviewed information about the profitability of the iShares complex to BlackRock based on fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under advisory contracts with iShares funds), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from iShares funds’ operations for the last calendar year, the Board did not consider the profitability of the Fund to BFA and its affiliates since the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014. The Board noted that it expects to receive profitability information from BFA on at least an annual basis following the Fund’s launch and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any new or additional breakpoints or other adjustments in Fund fees would be appropriate.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the 15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that to the extent that the Fund invests in the unhedged iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (“EMB”), Fund shareholders would benefit from breakpoints in EMB’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of EMB, on an aggregated basis with the assets of another iShares fund, increase. The Board further noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract (Continued)
iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract 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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. 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 further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services to be provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses to be borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.
Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — Except as noted below, the Board did not consider the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue to be received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services to be provided to the Fund by BFA, since the Fund had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2014. However, 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 considered the potential payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. The Board also considered the potential for revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, and its affiliates in the event of any loaning of portfolio securities of the Fund. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, will be reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.
Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract does not constitute a fee that is so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services to be rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining, and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Contract for the coming year.

iSHARES® INTEREST RATE HEDGED EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
iSHARES® J.P. MORGAN USD EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.
These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification
Classification |
J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond | | Non-diversified |
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® J.P. MORGAN USD EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the 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.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its statement 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 October 31, 2015, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:
| | | | | |
Investment Advisory Fee | | Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets |
| | 0.6000 | % | | First $19 billion |
| | 0.5700 | a | | Over $19 billion, up to and including $33 billion |
| | 0.5415 | a | | Over $33 billion, up to and including $58 billion |
| | 0.5145 | a | | Over $58 billion |
| a | | Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level. |
The total of the investment advisory fee and any other fund expenses is a fund’s total annual operating expense. Effective March 2, 2015, BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Fund through February 28, 2018 in order to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver to 0.40% of average daily net assets. In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2015, BFA has voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund in the amount of $3,022,489.
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2015, if any, were executed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.
The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the statement of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.
Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. and/or BFA.
3. | INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS |
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the year ended October 31, 2015, were $1,229,026,838 and $1,142,836,609, respectively.

iSHARES® J.P. MORGAN USD EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the year ended October 31, 2015, were $2,809,758,889 and $3,226,336,516, respectively.
4. | 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 for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.
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 contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statement of assets and liabilities.
In the normal course of business, the Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks the Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
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.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in fixed income instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® J.P. MORGAN USD EMERGING MARKETS BOND ETF
The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
The United States and the European Union, along with the regulatory bodies of a number of countries including Japan, Australia and Canada (collectively, “Sanctioning Bodies”), have imposed sectorial economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and Russian corporate entities which include prohibitions on transacting in or dealing in new debt of longer than 30 or 90 days maturity or new equity of such issuers. Securities held by the Fund issued prior to the date of the sanctions being imposed are not currently subject to any restrictions under the sanctions. However, compliance with each of these sanctions may impair the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, hold, receive or deliver the affected securities or other securities of such issuers. The Sanctioning Bodies could also institute broader sanctions on Russia. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. Current or future sanctions may result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities. These retaliatory measures may include the immediate freeze of Russian assets held by a Fund.
The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in high yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s), or are unrated which may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. High yield securities may also be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk than higher-rated securities and high yield securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price or to value than higher-rated securities. In particular, high yield securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) companies, which are generally less able than more financially stable companies to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of October 31, 2015, attributable to realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:
| | | | | | | | |
Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income/Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income | | | Undistributed Net Realized Gain/Accumulated Net Realized Loss | |
$(15,277,124) | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,277,124 | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 220,652,648 | | | $ | 180,077,963 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
As of October 31, 2015, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | | Net Unrealized Gains (Losses)a | | | Total | |
| $20,800,458 | | | $ | (98,024,613 | ) | | $ | (244,610,160 | ) | | $ | (321,834,315 | ) |
| a | | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and interest accruals on defaulted bonds. |
As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

As of October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,641,994,479. Net unrealized depreciation was $238,129,695, of which $45,499,733 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $283,629,428 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
iSHARES® U.S. FIXED INCOME BALANCED RISK ETF
U.S. Bond Market Overview
U.S. bonds returned approximately 2% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”). The modest bond market returns reflected an inconsistent but moderate overall level of U.S. economic growth and low inflation. After generating its fastest quarterly growth rate in 11 years in the third quarter of 2014, the U.S. economy slowed over the next two quarters, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar (which made U.S. goods more expensive overseas) and severe winter weather in many regions of the country. The economy rebounded in the second and third quarters of 2015, led by strong employment growth — sending the unemployment rate to its lowest level since April 2008 — and robust vehicle sales.
Inflation stayed low throughout the reporting period, with the consumer price index increasing 0.2% for the reporting period. Falling energy prices, including a decline of more than 40% in the price of oil, contributed to the muted inflation rate.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) ended a two-year quantitative easing program and signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. However, the mixed economic data, lack of inflationary pressure, and slowing growth elsewhere in the world (particularly in China and other emerging economies) convinced the Fed to hold short-term interest rates steady throughout the reporting period.
Nonetheless, short-term bond yields generally rose during the reporting period in anticipation of a potential Fed interest rate increase. In contrast, intermediate- and long-term bond yields declined modestly for the reporting period, reflecting the benign inflationary environment and investor demand for U.S. bonds.
A number of other factors buffeted the fixed-income market during the reporting period. Geopolitical conflicts, most notably in Ukraine and across the Middle East, continued to have an effect on financial markets. Greece and Puerto Rico wrestled with potential defaults on their government debt. The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies during the reporting period, which made U.S. investments more attractive to international investors but created headwinds for the domestic economy.
Investor concerns brought on by many of these factors, as well as uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economy and Fed interest rate policy, led to a flight to quality during the reporting period. As a result, higher-quality bonds outperformed riskier assets for the reporting period.
Mortgage-backed securities were the leading performers for the reporting period. Both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities benefited from investor demand for high credit quality and relatively high yields. U.S. Treasury bonds were also among the better performers in the fixed-income market. In addition to the flight to quality, Treasury securities benefited from their interest-rate sensitivity as declining yields across most maturity sectors of the Treasury market led to rising bond prices. The primary exception was Treasury inflation-protected securities, which posted negative returns for the reporting period, reflecting a lack of investor demand for inflation protection.
Corporate bonds underperformed the broader bond market for the reporting period. Corporate bonds tend to have greater credit risk than other sectors of the bond market, and the broad flight to quality led to reduced demand for corporate securities. In particular, high-yield corporate bonds were among the only sectors of the bond market to decline for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. FIXED INCOME BALANCED RISK ETF
The iShares U.S. Fixed Income Balanced Risk ETF (the “Fund”) seeks total return and preservation of capital by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar denominated investment-grade and high-yield fixed-income securities that in the aggregate has approximately equal exposure to credit spread risk and interest rate risk. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. For the period from February 24, 2015 (inception date of the Fund) through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the total return for the Fund was 0.46%, net of fees.
The Fund allocates capital across fixed-income sectors in a systematic manner, with the objective of balancing interest rate and credit risk. From a credit risk perspective, the Fund invests primarily in corporate bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield) and mortgage-backed securities. When necessary to balance the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk against its exposure to credit spread risk, the Fund may take short or long positions in U.S. Treasury futures and short positions in U.S. Treasury securities through transactions in interest rate swaps.
The Fund posted a positive return for the reporting period and outpaced the broad U.S. fixed-income market. The interest rate hedge component contributed positively to performance as interest rates rose during the reporting period. In addition, the Fund had a shorter duration (less interest rate sensitivity) relative to the broader bond market and was positioned for a steeper yield curve (the yield curve is a graphic representation of bond yields at different maturities). Both these positions contributed positively to performance.
From a sector perspective, the Fund benefited from an overweight position in mortgage-backed securities relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, as their combination of high credit quality and attractive yields increased the appeal of these securities in a period of market uncertainty and low prevailing interest rates. At the other end of the spectrum, overweight positions in both investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds detracted from performance. Investor concerns about risk assets and surging new bond issuance generally limited returns for corporate securities. Nevertheless, security selection within the corporate allocation aided results thanks to an overweight position in banks and underweight positions to media, energy, and metals companies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 7 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® U.S. FIXED INCOME BALANCED RISK ETF
iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
U.S. Fixed Income Balanced Riska | | Non-diversified |
| a | | The fund commenced operations on February 24, 2015. |
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| • | | Futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. FIXED INCOME BALANCED RISK ETF
available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.
WHEN-ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS
The Fund may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Fund may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Fund as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Fund realizes a gain or loss. The Fund’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Fund to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Fund could be exposed to possible risk if there are adverse market actions, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.
To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into a two-way collateral agreement for TBA transactions with certain counterparties. Under such agreement, the “in-the-money” party of a TBA transaction may at any time require the other party to pledge collateral assets (in the form of cash or securities) to offset any loss the in-the-money party would incur upon cancellation of the TBA transaction. A party is in-the-money if they are the buyer and the market value of the TBA transaction increases or if they are the seller and the market value of the TBA transaction decreases. Cash received as collateral from the counterparty may be reinvested in money market funds, including those managed by the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. Such collateral, if any, is presented in the statement of assets and liabilities as “Investments in securities – affiliated” and “Payable due to broker for TBA collateral.” Securities pledged as collateral by the Fund, if any, are noted in the schedule of investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 value of the loaned securities plus the interest accrued on such securities, if any, 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 plus accrued interest, if any. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedule of investments. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of October 31, 2015 and the total value of the related collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.
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 securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the 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 Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
Effective March 26, 2015, for its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2019 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates, if any.
Prior to March 26, 2015, for its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA was entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.30%. BFA had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 29, 2016 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other iShares funds, if any. In addition, BFA had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Fund through February 29, 2016 in an amount equal to 0.05% of average daily net assets. This additional contractual waiver was terminated effective March 26, 2015.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statement of changes in net assets.

The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® U.S. FIXED INCOME BALANCED RISK ETF
In the normal course of business, the Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks the Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in fixed income and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s schedule of investments.
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 substantial amount of its assets in fixed-income securities. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Fund, which commenced operations on February 24, 2015. The information shown for the Fund is for five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for the Fund are disclosed in the table for the Fund.
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKET OVERVIEW
Global equity markets delivered a flat return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), as market volatility late in the reporting period nullified the equity market’s prior gains. The MSCI ACWI, a broad global equity index that includes both developed and emerging markets, returned -0.03% for the reporting period.
The reporting period was characterized by a continued divergence in economic growth and central bank policy between the U.S. and the rest of the world. Despite a slowdown in early 2015, the U.S. economy remained one of the strongest economies among developed countries, which motivated the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) to scale back its economic stimulus measures. The Fed signaled its intent to raise its short-term interest rate target sometime in 2015. In contrast, weaker economic growth in most other regions of the globe led many of the world’s central banks to take more aggressive actions to stimulate economic activity.
This divergence contributed to a notably stronger U.S. dollar. For the reporting period, the euro, Japanese yen, British pound and Australian dollar declined by 12%, 7%, 3%, and 19% against the U.S. dollar, respectively. Weaker foreign currencies decrease the value of foreign investments measured in U.S. dollars, thereby decreasing returns for U.S. investors, while increasing foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have the opposite effect. Currency performance had a meaningful impact on non-U.S. equity returns for U.S. investors. For example, the MSCI ACWI returned 4.90% in local currency terms for the reporting period.
In commodities markets, energy prices fell sharply amid growing supply — primarily from increased production in the U.S. — and declining global demand. Global energy stocks faced a growing supply-and-demand imbalance in the oil and gas markets, which meant weaker earnings and lower stock prices. Excess supply materialized because of a boom in U.S. shale oil and gas production, driving U.S. oil production to its highest level in more than 40 years. Meanwhile, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) chose to maintain its existing production levels. On the demand side, slowing growth in China, the world’s largest consumer of commodities, and other emerging economies led to reduced global demand for energy. Similarly, industrial and precious metals generally declined due to weakening demand. The commodities downturn slowed economic growth in several commodity-producing countries, including Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Russia.
Lower commodities prices contributed to historically low and declining inflation rates in most of the world. Consumer prices were nearly unchanged in the U.S., the European Union, and Japan, while prices in China and India rose at a relatively slow rate. Low inflation and tepid aggregate demand kept the Fed’s zero interest rate policy intact, while central banks throughout the world took aggressive measures to stimulate demand.
Global markets advanced for most of the reporting period, then declined in the final months of the reporting period. The volatility began in China, as slowing economic growth led to a steep drop in China’s equity markets. Plummeting commodity prices amid already subdued inflation also raised concerns about global demand. Currency devaluations in Asia, including China, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Kazakhstan, led to speculation that Asian countries were weakening their currencies to compete for demand. These global events led to further uncertainty about the timing of an expected interest rate increase by the Fed. Nevertheless, global stocks generally stabilized in October 2015, as commodities prices rebounded and Fed policy remained unchanged.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)
iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
The iShares Commodities Select Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks total return by providing investors with broad commodity exposure. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2015, the total return for the Fund was -33.88%, net of fees.
The Fund declined sharply for the reporting period, reflecting the broad decline in commodity prices and the commodity-oriented segments of the global equity markets. The Fund maintained its broad commodities exposure by investing approximately 70% in commodity-linked futures contracts and 30% in commodity-related stocks during the reporting period.
For the reporting period, the futures portion of the Fund fell sharply, detracting the most from performance. The equity portion of the Fund also declined, largely due to weak performance in energy stocks.
The prices of many commodities fell substantially during the reporting period amid weaker demand resulting from decelerating global economic growth. In particular, slower economic activity in China, one of the world’s leading consumers of commodities, contributed to the decrease in demand for commodities.
Stocks and futures in the energy sector, which comprised about half of the Fund, were the largest detractors during the reporting period. A combination of growing supply, primarily from increased production in the U.S., and declining global demand put downward pressure on energy prices. For the reporting period, the price of oil fell by approximately 42%, while natural gas prices declined by approximately 48%.
Agricultural futures and agriculture-related stocks comprised approximately 14% of the Fund at the end of the reporting period. Decelerating global growth crimped demand for agricultural products, while favorable weather and improved crop yields resulted in higher agricultural product inventories. As a result, many agricultural commodity prices, from wheat to cotton to soybeans, fell during the reporting period.
Metals futures and metals and mining stocks also detracted from Fund performance during the reporting period. Reduced demand for metals, especially from China, weighed on metals prices during the reporting period. Copper, nickel, aluminum, lead, and iron ore were among the metals that experienced the most significant price declines for the reporting period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONOF FUND PERFORMANCE | | | 7 | |
About Fund Performance
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.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. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. 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.
Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2015 and held through October 31, 2015, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iShares U.S. ETF 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 was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 21, 2011.
These consolidated financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):
| | |
iShares ETF | | Diversification Classification |
Commodities Select Strategy | | Non-diversified |
The Fund carries out its investment strategies associated with investment in commodity-linked futures contracts and other derivatives (“commodity-linked investments”) by investing up to 25% of its total assets in iShares Commodities Strategy Cayman Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary organized in the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The investment adviser of the Fund also serves as the investment adviser to the Subsidiary. Investments in the Subsidiary enable the Fund to hold the commodity-linked investments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. The accompanying consolidated schedule of investments and consolidated financial statements for the Fund include the positions and accounts, respectively, of its Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated.
The following table shows a summary of selected financial information of the Subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements of the Fund, as of and for the year ended October 31, 2015:

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of
| | | | |
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 17 | |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, (the “Board”).
| • | | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last reported trade price or the 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. |
| • | | Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures. |
| • | | Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| • | | Futures contracts are valued at that day’s last reported settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors deemed relevant by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. These factors include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such factors are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement
| | |
18 | | 2015 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in the instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The following table summarizes the value of each of the Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2015. The breakdown of the Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its consolidated schedule of investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Any taxes withheld that are reclaimable from foreign tax authorities as of October 31, 2015 are reflected in tax reclaims receivable. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock in an elective dividend, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of
| | | | |
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 19 | |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.
FOREIGN TAXES
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its consolidated 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 October 31, 2015, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
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.
LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Fund may lend its investment 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 a 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 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. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any 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. 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.
Any cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors

iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
(“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2015, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the consolidated schedule of investments. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its consolidated schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of October 31, 2015 and the total value of the related collateral are disclosed in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations.
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 securities lent. The Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“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. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender 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, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.
The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of October 31, 2015:

2. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the 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 Fund, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.

The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with BFA under which BFA provides investment advisory services to the Subsidiary but does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing it with such services. The Subsidiary has also entered into separate arrangements that provide for the provision of other services to the Subsidiary (including administrative, custody, transfer agency and other services), and BFA pays the costs and expenses related to the provision of those services.
BFA has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of BFA, under which BFA pays the Sub-Adviser for services it provides to the Fund and the Subsidiary.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.48% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund indirectly pays its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). Effective February 23, 2015, BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2019 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates, if any.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment fees. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, the Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Prior to January 1, 2015, the Fund retained 75% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2014 exceeded the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013 and pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retained for the remainder of the calendar year 2014, 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained was never less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $5,067.
BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.

The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Interest – affiliated” in the consolidated statement of operations.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.
Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.
3. | INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS |
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the year ended October 31, 2015, were $50,329,813 and $54,559,912, respectively.
In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the year ended October 31, 2015, were $108,740,369 and $5,320,429, respectively.
4. | 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 for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the consolidated statements of changes in net assets.
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 State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, 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 market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the consolidated statements of changes in net assets.
The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the executing broker which holds segregated from its own assets, an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other high-quality debt and equity securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and the assets underlying such contracts.

In the normal course of business, the Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The significant types of financial risks the Fund is exposed to include market risk and credit risk. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of these and other types of risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The Fund is exposed to market risk by virtue of its investment in equity and financial derivative instruments. The fair value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s consolidated schedule of investments.

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 consolidated schedule of investments.
The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. markets. This involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; and the risk of war. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
The Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in securities and derivatives linked to commodities or commodities markets. Commodity prices may be influenced or characterized by unpredictable factors, including, where applicable, high volatility, changes in supply and demand relationships, weather, agriculture, trade, pestilence, political instability, changes in interest rates and monetary and other governmental policies. Securities of companies held by the Fund that are dependent on a single commodity, or are concentrated in a single commodity sector, may typically exhibit volatility attributable to commodity prices.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Subsidiary are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes and any net income or net gains will pass through to the Fund as such. Accordingly, the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported in the Fund’s financial statements for such investments held by the Subsidiary may differ significantly from distributions. In addition, if a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary in any taxable year, the loss will not be available to offset the Fund’s ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of

October 31, 2015, attributable to foreign currency transactions, the character of income (losses) from a wholly owned foreign subsidiary and realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

$ (37,295,482) | | $ | 154,068 | | | $ | 37,141,414 | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows:

| | $ | 3,171,846 | | | | N/A | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
As of October 31, 2015, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforwards | | Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) a | | | Total | |
$ (2,622,925) | | $ | (31,664,714) | | | $ | (34,287,639) | |
| a | | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain futures contracts, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies. |
As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $2,622,925 available to offset future realized capital gains.
The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.
As of October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $267,552,143. Net unrealized depreciation was $26,013,758, of which $215,891 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $26,229,649 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of October 31, 2015, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory
Contract
iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), is required annually to consider and approve the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust and BFA (the “Advisory Contract”), and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between BFA and BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), on behalf of the Fund. The Advisory Contract and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to hereafter as the “Advisory Agreements”. The Independent Trustees requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Agreements. A committee of Independent Trustees (the “15(c) Committee”), with independent counsel, met with management on May 1, 2015 and May 6, 2015, to discuss the types of information the Independent Trustees required and the manner in which management would organize and present such information. At a meeting held on May 21, 2015, management presented preliminary information to the Board relating to the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information at length. The Independent Trustees requested from management certain additional information, which management agreed to provide. At a meeting held on June 24-25, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the additional information provided by management in response to these requests. After extensive discussions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund, based on a review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA, including the additional information management provided at the request of the Independent Trustees. 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 Board also noted that the Board and BFA agreed to discuss potential enhancements and adjustments to the 15(c) process for the coming year. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. In approving the Advisory Agreements for the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and reached the following conclusions:
Expenses and Performance of the Fund — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other exchange traded funds (including, where applicable, funds sponsored by an “at cost” service provider) and, in the limited instances where no comparable ETFs existed and the comparison group would not otherwise be reasonable in Lipper’s judgment, pure index institutional mutual funds, objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Fund’s applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology (the “Lipper Group”). The Board was provided with a detailed description of Lipper’s proprietary ETF methodology used by Lipper to determine the Fund’s Lipper Group. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information provided in Lipper’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 waivers and reimbursements) for the Fund were lower than the median of the investment advisory fee rates and overall expenses (net of waivers and reimbursements) of the funds in its Lipper Group. The Board also noted that BFA pays BIL for its sub-advisory services, and that there are no additional fees imposed on the Fund in respect of the services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper regarding the performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, ten-year, and since inception periods, as applicable, and the “last quarter” period ended December 31, 2014, and a comparison of the Fund’s performance to its performance benchmark index for the same periods. To the extent that any of the comparison funds included in the Lipper Group track the same index as the Fund, Lipper also provided, and the Board reviewed, a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of such relevant comparison funds for the same periods. The Board noted that the Fund generally performed in line with its performance benchmark index over the relevant periods. In considering this

iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
information, the Board noted that the Lipper Group may include funds that have a different investment objective and/or benchmark from the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund seeks to track its own investment strategy or investment mandate and that, during the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Fund’s performance in comparison with its investment strategy or investment mandate. Such periodic comparative performance information, including detailed information on certain specific iShares funds requested by the Boards, was also considered.
Based on this review, the other factors 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 Agreements for the coming year.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by BFA and BIL or their Affiliates — Based on management’s representations, including information about recent and proposed enhancements to the iShares business, including with respect to shareholder servicing and support, the Board expected that there would be no diminution in the scope of services required of or provided by BFA (and any services provided by BIL on BFA’s behalf or at BFA’s direction) under the Advisory Agreements for the coming year as compared to the scope of services provided by BFA and BIL during prior years. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered the investment philosophy and experience of BFA and BIL, noting that BFA and its affiliates have committed significant resources over time, including during the past year, to supporting the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board acknowledged that resources to support the iShares funds and their shareholders have been added or enhanced in recent years. The Board also considered the compliance program of BFA and BIL and their compliance record with respect to the Fund. 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 appropriate officers 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 June 24-25, 2015 meeting and throughout the previous year, and matters related to BFA’s and BIL’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures, and BFA’s oversight of the services provided by BIL. The Board noted that the Fund had met its investment objective consistently since its inception date.
Based on review of this information, and the performance information discussed above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BFA and BIL to the Fund under the Advisory Agreements supported the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements 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 profitability to BlackRock of the Fund based on the fees payable to BFA and its affiliates (including fees under the Advisory Agreements), and all other sources of revenue and expense to BFA and its affiliates from the Fund’s operations for the last calendar year. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology for the iShares funds, noting that the 15(c) Committee had focused on the methodology and proposed presentation during its meetings. The Board discussed the sources of direct and ancillary revenue with management, including the revenues to BTC from securities lending by the Fund. The Board also discussed BFA’s 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 profits realized by BFA and its affiliates under the Advisory Agreements and from other relationships between the Fund and BFA and/or its affiliates, if any, were within a reasonable range in light of the factors considered.
Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding potential economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Fund’s assets, noting that the issue of economies of scale had been focused on extensively by the

iSHARES® COMMODITIES SELECT STRATEGY ETF
15(c) Committee during its meetings and addressed by management. The Board and the 15(c) Committee reviewed information provided by BFA regarding scale benefits shared with the iShares funds through relatively low fee rates established at inception, breakpoints, waivers, or other fee reductions, as well as through additional investment in the iShares business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the iShares funds and their shareholders. The Board and the 15(c) Committee received information regarding BlackRock’s historical profitability, including BFA’s and its affiliates’ costs in providing services. The cost information distinguished between fixed and variable costs, and explained how the level of fixed and variable costs, as well as the nature of such costs, may impact the existence or size of scale benefits. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract for the Fund did not provide for any breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate as the assets of the Fund increase. However, the Board noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Fund may be appropriate, and that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future.
Based on this review, as well as the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue periodically, determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements 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 and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act (including sub-advised funds), collective trust funds, separately managed accounts, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”), and acknowledged BFA’s assertion that the iShares funds are fundamentally different investment vehicles from the Other Accounts. 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 further noted that BFA provided the Board with detailed information regarding how the Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Fund, including in terms of the different, generally more extensive services provided to the Fund, as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Fund, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. 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 exchange traded fund, as compared to the Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board also considered the “all-inclusive” nature of the Fund’s advisory fee structure, and the Fund expenses borne by BFA under this arrangement. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Fund was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for the Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates) and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.
Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — The Board reviewed the “fallout” benefits or ancillary revenue received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the Fund by BFA, such as payment of revenue to BTC, the Fund’s securities lending agent, for loaning portfolio securities (which was included in the profit margins reviewed by the Board pursuant to BFA’s profitability methodology), and payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Fund in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. The Board noted that BFA and BIL generally do not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BFA and BIL (including their affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be

disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders and thus would not alter the Board’s conclusion with respect to the appropriateness of approving the continuance of the Advisory Agreements for the coming year.
Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Agreements 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 that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements for the coming year.

Premium/Discount Information
The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Fund. The information shown for the Fund is for five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. The specific periods covered for the Fund are disclosed in the table for the Fund.

iShares U.S. ETF Trust (the “Registrant”) adopted a new code of ethics on July 1, 2015 that applies to persons appointed by the Registrant’s Board of Trustees as the President and/or Chief Financial Officer, and any persons performing similar functions. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, there were no amendments to any provision of the former and new codes of ethics, nor were there any waivers granted from any provision of the former and new codes of ethics. A copy of the new code of ethics is filed with this Form N-CSR under Item 12(a)(1).
Item 3. | Audit Committee Financial Expert. |
The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has more than one audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under Item 3(b) and 3(c), serving on its audit committee. The audit committee financial experts serving on the Registrant’s audit committee are Charles A. Hurty, John E. Kerrigan, Robert H. Silver and Madhav V. Rajan, all of whom are independent, as that term is defined under Item 3(a)(2).
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 nine series of the Registrant for which the fiscal year-end is October 31, 2015 (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 $60,490 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 and $113,240 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. |
| (b) | Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2015 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund’s 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 the review of the Funds’ tax returns and excise tax calculations, were $18,385 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 and $33,093 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. |
| (d) | All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2015 for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in (a) through (c) of this Item. |
| (e) | (1) 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. |
(2) There were no services described in (b) through (d) above (including services required by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X) that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
| (f) | None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees. |
| (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 $3,359,197 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 and $3,548,374 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. |
| (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 were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if any, are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence, and has determined that the provision of these services do not compromise the principal accountant’s independence. |
