Dear

Shareholder,

Significant

economic

headwinds

emerged

during

the

12-month

reporting

period

ended

February

28,

2023,

as

investors

navigated

changing

economic

conditions

and

volatile

markets.

The

U.S.

economy

shrank

in

the

first

half

of

2022

before

returning

to

modest

growth

in

the

second

half

of

the

year,

marking

a

shift

to

a

more

challenging

post-reopening

economic

environment.

Changes

in

consumer

spending

patterns

and

a

tight

labor

market

led

to

elevated

inflation,

which

reached

a

40-year

high

before

beginning

to

moderate.

Moreover,

while

the

foremost

effect

of

Russia’s

invasion

of

Ukraine

has

been

a

severe

humanitarian

crisis,

the

ongoing

war

continued

to

present

challenges

for

both

investors

and

policymakers.

Equity

prices

fell

as

interest

rates

rose,

particularly

during

the

first

half

of

the

reporting

period.

Both

large-

and

small-capitalization

U.S.

stocks

fell,

although

equities

began

to

recover

in

the

second

half

of

the

period

as

inflation

eased

and

economic

growth

resumed.

Emerging

market

stocks

and

international

equities

from

developed

markets

declined

overall,

pressured

by

rising

interest

rates

and

a

strong

U.S.

dollar.

The

10-year

U.S.

Treasury

yield

rose

notably

during

the

reporting

period,

driving

its

price

down,

as

investors

reacted

to

fluctuating

inflation

data

and

attempted

to

anticipate

its

impact

on

future

interest

rate

changes.

The

corporate

bond

market

also

faced

inflationary

headwinds,

and

higher

interest

rates

led

to

rising

borrowing

costs

for

corporate

issuers.

The

U.S.

Federal

Reserve

(the

“Fed”),

acknowledging

that

inflation

has

been

more

persistent

than

expected,

raised

interest

rates

eight

times.

Furthermore,

the

Fed

wound

down

its

bond-buying

programs

and

accelerated

the

reduction

of

its

balance

sheet.

Restricted

labor

supply

kept

inflation

elevated

even

as

other

inflation

drivers,

such

as

goods

prices

and

energy

costs,

moderated.

While

economic

growth

slowed

in

the

last

year,

we

believe

that

taming

inflation

requires

a

more

substantial

decline

that

lowers

demand

to

a

level

more

in

line

with

the

economy’s

productive

capacity.

Although

the

Fed

has

decelerated

the

pace

of

interest

rate

hikes,

it

still

seems

determined

to

get

inflation

back

to

target.

With

this

in

mind,

we

believe

the

possibility

of

a

U.S.

recession

in

the

near-term

is

high,

but

the

dimming

economic

outlook

has

not

yet

been

fully

reflected

in

current

market

prices.

We

believe

investors

should

expect

a

period

of

higher

volatility

as

markets

adjust

to

the

new

economic

reality

and

policymakers

attempt

to

adapt

to

rapidly

changing

conditions.

Turmoil

in

the

banking

sector

shortly

following

the

end

of

the

period

highlighted

the

potential

for

the

knock-on

effects

of

substantially

higher

interest

rates

to

disrupt

markets

with

little

warning.

While

we

favor

an

overweight

to

equities

in

the

long

term,

several

factors

lead

us

to

take

an

underweight

stance

on

equities

overall

in

the

near

term.

Expectations

for

corporate

earnings

remain

elevated,

which

seems

inconsistent

with

the

possibility

of

a

recession

in

a

business

environment

characterized

by

higher

costs

and

reduced

pricing

power.

Nevertheless,

we

are

overweight

on

emerging

market

stocks

as

a

weaker

U.S.

dollar

provides

a

supportive

backdrop.

We

also

see

long-term

opportunities

in

credit,

where

valuations

are

appealing

and

higher

yields

provide

attractive

income,

although

we

are

neutral

on

credit

in

the

near

term,

as

we

believe

that

troubles

in

the

banking

sector

will

likely

lead

to

reduced

lending.

However,

we

believe

there

are

still

some

strong

opportunities

for

a

six-

to

twelve-month

horizon,

particularly

short-term

U.S.

Treasuries,

global

inflation-

linked

bonds,

and

emerging

market

bonds

denominated

in

local

currency.

Overall,

our

view

is

that

investors

need

to

think

globally,

position

themselves

to

be

prepared

for

a

decarbonizing

economy,

and

be

nimble

as

market

conditions

change.

We

encourage

you

Commentary

How

did

the

Fund

perform?

For

the

six-month

period

ending

February

28,

2023,

the

Fund

outperformed

its

benchmark,

the

Morningstar

LSTA

Leveraged

Loan

Index.

What

factors

influenced

performance?

Contributions

to

the

Fund’s

relative

performance

were

led

by

security

selection

within

single-Bs.

Security

selection

within

CCCs

was

also

accretive

to

performance

over

the

period.

By

sector,

our

security

selection

in

Healthcare

and

Leisure

were

the

largest

drivers

of

relative

performance,

followed

by

selection

in

wirelines

and

consumer

products.

Finally,

out-of-benchmark

exposure

to

high

yield

corporate

bonds

contributed

positively

throughout

the

6-month

period.

Security

selection

within

both

the

retail

and

packaging

sectors

detracted,

along

with

an

underweight

in

midstream

energy.

The

Fund’s

cash

position

acted

as

a

modest

drag

on

return

over

the

period.

Describe

recent

portfolio

activity.

Throughout

the

period

the

Fund

continued

to

trim

exposure

to

technology,

although

the

sector

remains

a

meaningful

component

of

the

portfolio

given

its

representation

within

the

benchmark

index.

The

Fund

also

modestly

decreased

exposure

to

healthcare,

though

it’s

important

to

note

that

sector

positioning

is

largely

informed

by

single

name

credit

conviction.

From

a

credit

quality

perspective,

the

Fund

rotated

some

exposure

out

of

richly

traded

BBs

and

into

CCC

and

B3

ratings

categories

on

the

basis

of

relative

value,

while

increasing

its

cash

position.

The

Fund’s

cash

position

at

period

end

was

approximately

5.3%.

Given

the

relative

richness

of

higher

credit

quality

BB-rated

loans

and

idiosyncratic

opportunities

in

the

lower

credit

quality

portion

of

the

market,

the

Fund

held

a

barbelled

stance

with

an

elevated

cash

position

balanced

by

lower

quality

loans

as

a

more

efficient

allocation

of

its

risk

budget.

While

the

cash

position

was

a

modest

drag

on

performance

in

a

period

of

positive

performance

for

loans,

selection

within

lower-rated

loans

contributed

strongly.

Describe

portfolio

positioning

at

period

end.

The

Fund’s

overall

positioning

was

relatively

unchanged

with

an

underweight

to

technology

and

a

barbelled

stance

comprised

of

an

elevated

cash

position

paired

with

lower

quality

loans.

The

Fund

continues

to

be

underweight

BBs

(21.9%

vs

23.1%)

and

Bs

(58.8%

vs

64.2%),

while

slightly

overweight

CCCs

(7.8%

vs

6.2%).

Past

performance

is

not

an

indication

of

future

results.

Financial

markets

have

experienced

extreme

volatility

and

trading

in

many

instruments

has

been

disrupted.

These

circumstances

may

continue

for

an

extended

period

of

time

and

may

continue

to

affect

adversely

the

value

and

liquidity

of

the

Fund’s

investments.

As

a

current

may

be

lower

or

higher

than

BlackRock

Advisors,

LLC

(the

“Manager”),

the

Fund’s

investment

adviser,

has

contractually

and/or

voluntarily

agreed

to

waive

and/or

reimburse

a

portion

of

the

Fund’s

expenses.

Without

such

waiver(s)

and/or

reimbursement(s),

the

Fund’s

performance

would

have

been

lower.

With

respect

to

the

Fund’s

voluntary

waiver(s),

if

any,

the

Manager

is

under

no

obligation

to

waive

and/or

reimburse

to

continue

waiving

and/or

and

such

may

be

With

if

Disclosure

of

Expenses

/

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

Shareholders

of

the

Fund

may

incur

the

following

charges:

(a)

transactional

expenses,

such

as

sales

charges;

and

(b)

operating

expenses,

including

investment

advisory

fees, administration

fees,

service

and

distribution

fees,

including

12b-1

fees,

acquired

fund

fees

and

expenses, and

other

fund

expenses.

The

expense

example

shown

(which

is

based

on

a

hypothetical

investment

of

$1,000

invested

at

the

beginning

of

the

period

and

held

through

the

end

of

the

period)

is

intended

to

assist

shareholders

both

in

calculating

expenses

based

on

an

investment

in

the

Fund

and

in

comparing

these

expenses

with

similar

costs

of

investing

in

other

mutual

funds.

The

expense

example

provides

information

about

actual

account

values

and

actual

expenses.

Annualized

expense

ratios

reflect

contractual

and

voluntary

fee

waivers,

if

any.

In

order

to

estimate

the

expenses

a

shareholder

paid

during

the

period

covered

by

this

report,

shareholders

can

divide

their

account

value

by

$1,000

and

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

corresponding

to

their share

class

under

the

heading

entitled

“Expenses

Paid

During

the

Period.” 

The

expense

example

also

provides

information

about

hypothetical

account

values

and

hypothetical

expenses

based

on the

Fund’s

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

rate

of

return

of

5%

per

year

before

expenses.

In

order

to

assist

shareholders

in

comparing

the

ongoing

expenses

of

investing

in

the

Fund

and

other

funds,

compare

the

5%

hypothetical

example

with

the

5%

hypothetical

examples

that

appear

in

shareholder

reports

of

other

funds. 

The

expenses

shown

in

the

expense

example

are

intended

to

highlight

shareholders’

ongoing

costs

only

and

do

not

reflect

transactional

expenses,

such

as

sales

charges,

if

any.

Therefore,

the

hypothetical

example is

useful

in

comparing

ongoing

expenses

only

and

will

not

help

shareholders

determine

the

relative

total

expenses

of

owning

different

funds.

If

these

transactional

expenses

were

included,

shareholder

expenses

would

have

been

higher.

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

The

Fund

may

invest

in

various

derivative

financial

instruments.

These

instruments

are

used

to

obtain

exposure

to

a

security,

commodity,

index,

market,

and/or

other

assets

without

owning

or

taking

physical

custody

of

securities,

commodities

and/or

other

referenced

assets

or

to

manage

market,

equity,

credit,

interest

rate,

foreign

currency

exchange

rate,

commodity

and/or

other

risks.

Derivative

financial

instruments

may

give

rise

to

a

form

of

economic

leverage

and

involve

risks,

including

the

imperfect

correlation

between

the

value

of

a

derivative

financial

instrument

and

the

underlying

asset,

possible

default

of

the

counterparty

to

the

transaction

or

illiquidity

of

the

instrument. Pursuant

to Rule

18f-4

under

the

1940

Act,

among

other

things,

the

Fund

must

either

use

derivative

financial

instruments

with

embedded

leverage

in

a

limited

manner

or

comply

with

an

outer

limit

on

fund

leverage

risk

based

on

value-at-risk.

The

Fund’s

successful

use

of

a

derivative

financial

instrument

depends

on

the

investment

adviser’s

ability

to

predict

pertinent

market

movements

accurately,

which

cannot

be

assured.

The

use

of

these

instruments

may

result

in

losses

greater

than

if

they

had

not

been

used,

may

limit

the

amount

of

appreciation the

Fund

can

realize

on

an

investment

and/or

may

result

in

lower

distributions

paid

to

shareholders.

The

Fund’s

investments

in

these

instruments,

if

any,

are

discussed

in

detail

in

the

Notes

to

Financial

Statements.

The Fund

offers

multiple

classes

of

shares.

All

classes

of

shares

have

identical

voting,

dividend,

liquidation

and

other

rights

and

are

subject

to

the

same

terms

and

conditions,

except

that

certain

classes

bear

expenses

related

to

the

shareholder

servicing

and

distribution

of

such

shares.

Institutional

and

Class

K

Shares

are

sold

without

a

sales

charge

and

only

to

certain

eligible

investors.

Investor

certain

expenses

related

to

shareholder

servicing

of

such

certain

expenses

related

to

the

distribution

of

such

shares.

Investor

2.

SIGNIFICANT

ACCOUNTING

POLICIES

The

financial

statements

are

prepared

in

conformity

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

(“U.S.

GAAP”),

which

may

require

management

to

make

estimates

and

assumptions

that

affect

the

reported

amounts

of

assets

and

liabilities

in

the

financial

statements,

disclosure

of

contingent

assets

and

liabilities

at

the

date

of

the

financial

statements

and

the

reported

amounts

of

increases

and

decreases

in

net

assets

from

operations

during

the

reporting

period.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.

The

Fund

is

considered

an

investment

company

under

U.S.

GAAP

and

follows

the

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

applicable

to

investment

companies.

Below

is

a

summary

of

significant

accounting

policies: 

Investment

Transactions

and

Income

Recognition:

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

investment

transactions

are

recorded

on

the

dates

the

transactions

are

executed.

Realized

gains

and

losses

on

investment

transactions

are

determined

using

the

specific

identification

method.

Dividend

income

and

capital

gain

distributions,

if

any,

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

dates.

Non-cash

dividends,

if

any,

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

dates

at

fair

value.

Interest

income,

including

amortization

and

accretion

of

premiums

and

discounts

on

debt

securities,

and

payment-in-kind

interest

are

recognized

daily

on

an

accrual

basis.

Income,

expenses

and

realized

and

unrealized

gains

and

losses

are

allocated

daily

to

each

class

based

on

its

relative

net

assets. 

Foreign

Currency

Translation:

The

Fund’s

books

and

records

are

maintained

in

U.S.

dollars.

Securities

and

other

assets

and

liabilities

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

are

translated

into

U.S.

dollars

using

exchange

rates

determined

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

(“NYSE”).

Purchases

and

sales

of

investments

are

recorded

at

the

rates

of

exchange

prevailing

on

the

respective

dates

of

such

transactions.

Generally,

when

the

U.S.

dollar

rises

in

value

against

a

foreign

currency,

the

investments

denominated

in

that

currency

will

lose

value;

the

opposite

effect

occurs

if

the

U.S.

dollar

falls

in

relative

value. 

The

Fund

does

not

isolate

the

effect

of

fluctuations

in

foreign

exchange

rates

from

the

effect

of

fluctuations

in

the

market

prices

of

investments

for

financial

reporting

purposes.

Accordingly,

the

effects

of

changes

in

exchange

rates

on

investments

are

not

segregated

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

from

the

effects

of

changes

in

market

prices

of

those

investments,

but

are

included

as

a

component

of

net

realized

and

unrealized

gain

(loss)

from

investments.

The

Fund

reports

realized

currency

gains

(losses)

on

foreign

currency

related

transactions

as

components

of

net

realized

gain

(loss)

for

financial

reporting

purposes,

whereas

such

components

are

generally

treated

as

ordinary

income

for

U.S.

federal

income

tax

purposes.

Collateralization:

If

required

by

an

exchange

or

counterparty

agreement,

the

Fund

may

be

required

to

deliver/deposit

cash

and/or

securities

to/with

an

exchange,

or

broker-

dealer

or

custodian

as

collateral

for

certain

investments.  

Distributions: 

Distributions

from

net

investment

income

are

declared daily

and

paid

monthly.

Distributions

of

capital

gains

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

dates

and

made

at

least

annually.

The

character

and

timing

of

distributions

are

determined

in

accordance

with

U.S.

federal

income

tax

regulations,

which

may

differ

from

U.S.

GAAP.

Deferred

Compensation

Plan:

Under

the

Deferred

Compensation

Plan

(the

“Plan”)

approved

by

the

Board

of

Trustees

of

the

Trust

(the

“Board”), the 

trustees

who

are

not

“interested

persons”

of

the

Fund,

as

defined

in

the

1940

Act

(“Independent

Trustees

”),

may

defer

a

portion

of

their

annual

complex-wide

compensation.

Deferred

amounts

earn

an

approximate

return

as

though

equivalent

dollar

amounts

had

been

invested

in

common

shares

of

certain

funds

in

the

BlackRock

Fixed-Income

Complex

selected

by

the

Independent

Trustees

.

This

has

the

same

economic

effect

for

the

Independent 

Trustees

as

if

the

Independent 

Trustees

had

invested

the

deferred

amounts

directly

in

certain

funds

in

the

BlackRock

Fixed-Income

Complex.  

The

Plan

is

not

funded

and

obligations

thereunder

represent

general

unsecured

claims

against

the

general

assets

of

the

Fund,

as

applicable.

Deferred

compensation

liabilities,

if

any, are

included

in

the Trustees’

and

Officer’s

fees

payable

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities

and

will

remain

as

a

liability

of

the

Fund

until

such

amounts

are

distributed

in

accordance

with

the

Plan.

Net

The

as

a

result

of

a

Indemnifications:

In

the

normal

course

of

business,

the

Fund

enters

into

contracts

that

contain

a

variety

of

representations

that

provide

general

indemnification.

The

Fund’s

maximum

exposure

under

these

3.

INVESTMENT

VALUATION

AND

FAIR

VALUE

MEASUREMENTS 

Investment

Valuation

Policies:

 The

Fund’s

investments

are

valued

at

fair

value

(also

referred

to

as

“market

value”

within

the

financial

statements)

each

day

that

the

Fund

is

open

for

business

and,

for

financial

reporting

purposes,

as

of

the

report

date.

U.S.

GAAP

defines

fair

value

as

the

price

a

fund

would

receive

to

sell

an

asset

or

pay

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date.

The

Board

has

approved

the

designation

of

the

Fund’s

Manager

as

the

valuation

designee

for

the

Fund.

The

Fund

determines

the

fair

values

of

its

financial

instruments

using

various

independent

dealers

or

pricing

services

under

the

Manager’s

policies.

If

a

security’s

market

price

is

not

readily

available

or

does

not

otherwise

accurately

represent

the

fair

value

of

the

security,

the

security

will

be

valued

in

accordance

with

the

Manager’s

policies

and

procedures

as

reflecting

fair

value.

The

Manager

has

formed

a

committee

(the

“Valuation

Committee”)

to

develop

pricing

policies

and

procedures

and

to

oversee

the

pricing

function

for

all

financial

instruments,

with

assistance

from

other

BlackRock

pricing

committees.

Fair

Value

Inputs

and

Methodologies:

The

following

methods

and

inputs

are

used

to

establish

the

fair

value

of

the

Fund’s

assets

and

liabilities: 

Equity

investments

traded

on

a

recognized

securities

exchange

are

valued

at

that

day’s official

closing

price,

as

applicable,

on

the

exchange

where

the

stock

is

primarily

traded.

Equity

investments

traded

on

a

recognized

exchange

for

which

there

were

no

sales

on

that

day

may

be

valued

at

the

last

available

bid

(long

positions)

or

ask

(short

positions)

price.  

Fixed-income investments

for

which

market

quotations

are

readily

available

are

generally

valued

using

the

last

available

bid

price

or

current

market

quotations

provided

by

independent

dealers

or

third-party

pricing

services. Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

bid

prices

from

one

or

more

independent

brokers

or

dealers

as

obtained

from

a

third-party

pricing

service. Pricing

services

generally

value

fixed-income

securities

assuming

orderly

transactions

of

an

institutional

round

lot

size,

but

a

fund

may

hold

or

transact

in

such

securities

in

smaller,

odd

lot

sizes.

Odd

lots

may

trade

at

lower

prices

than

institutional

round

lots.

The

pricing

services

may

use

matrix

pricing

or

valuation

models

that

utilize

certain

inputs

and

assumptions

to

derive

values,

including

transaction

data

(e.g.,

recent

representative

bids

and

offers),

market

data, credit

quality

information,

perceived

market

movements,

news,

and

other

relevant

information.

Certain

fixed-income

securities,

including

asset-

backed

and

mortgage

related

securities

may

be

valued

based

on

valuation

models

that

consider

the

estimated

cash

flows

of

each

tranche

of

the

entity,

establish

a

benchmark

yield

and

develop

an

estimated

tranche

specific

spread

to

the

benchmark

yield

based

on

the

unique

attributes

of

the

tranche.

The

amortized

cost

method

of

valuation

may

be

used

with

respect

to

debt

obligations

with

sixty

days

or

less

remaining

to

maturity

unless

the

Manager

determines

such

method

does

not

represent

fair

value.

Investments

in

open-end

U.S.

mutual

funds

(including

money

market

funds) are

valued

at

that

day’s

published net

asset

value

(“NAV”).

The

Fund

values

its

investment

in

SL

Liquidity

Series,

LLC,

Money

Market

Series

(the

“Money

Market

Series”)

at

fair

value,

which

is

ordinarily

based

upon

its

pro

rata

ownership

in

the

underlying

fund’s

net

assets.

Forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

are

valued

at

the

mean

between

the

bid

and

ask

prices

and

are

determined

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

NYSE

based

on

that

day’s

prevailing

forward

exchange

rate

for

the

underlying

currencies.

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. 

Generally,

trading

in

foreign

instruments

is

substantially

completed

each

day

at

various

times

prior

to

the

close

of

trading

on

the

NYSE.

Each

business

day,

the

Fund

uses

current

market

factors

supplied

by

independent

pricing

services

to

value

certain

foreign

instruments

(“Systematic

Fair

Value

Price”).

The

Systematic

Fair

Value

Price

is

designed

to

value

such

foreign

securities

at

fair

value

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

NYSE,

which

follows

the

close

of

the

local

markets.

If

events

(e.g.,

market

volatility,

company

announcement or

a

natural

disaster)

occur

that

are

expected

to

materially

affect

the

value

of

such

investment,

or

in

the

event

that application

of

these

methods

of

valuation

results

in

a

price

for

an

investment

that

is

deemed

not

to

be

representative

of

the

market

value

of

such

investment,

or

if

a

price

is

not

available,

the

investment

will

be

valued

by

the

Valuation

Committee

in

accordance

with the

Manager's policies

and

procedures

as

reflecting

fair

value

(“Fair

Valued

Investments”).

The

fair

valuation

approaches

that

may

be

used

by

the

Valuation

Committee include

market

approach,

income

approach

and

cost

approach.

Valuation

techniques

such

as

discounted

cash

flow,

use

of

market

comparables

and

matrix

pricing

are

types

of

valuation

approaches

and

are

typically

used

in

determining

fair

value.

When

determining

the

price

for

Fair

Valued

Investments,

the

Valuation

Committee

seeks

to

determine

the

price

that

the

Fund

might

reasonably

expect

to

receive

or

pay

from

the

current

sale

or

purchase

of

that

asset

or

liability

in

an

arm’s-length

transaction.

Fair

value

determinations

shall

be

based

upon

all

available

factors

that

the

Valuation

Committee

deems

relevant

and

consistent

with

the

principles

of

fair

value

measurement.

For

issued

by

privately

held

companies

or

funds

(“Private

Company”

or

collectively,

the

“Private

Companies”)

and

other

Fair

Valued

Investments,

the

fair

valuation

approaches

that

are

used

by

the

Valuation

Committee

and

third-party

pricing

services

utilized

by

the

Valuation

Committee

include one

or

a

combination

of,

but

not

limited

to,

the

following

inputs.  

Investments

in

series

of

preferred

stock

issued

by

Private

Companies

are

typically

valued

utilizing

market

approach

in

determining

the

enterprise

value

of

the

company.

Such

investments

often

contain

rights

and

preferences

that

differ

from

other

series

of

preferred

and

common

stock

of

the

same

issuer.

Enterprise

valuation

techniques

such

as

an

option

pricing

model

(“OPM”),

a

probability

weighted

expected

return

model

(“PWERM”),

current

value

method or

a

hybrid

of

those

techniques

are

used

as

deemed

appropriate

under

the

circumstances.

The

use

of these

valuation techniques

involve

a

determination

of

the

exit

scenarios

of

the

investment

in

order

to

appropriately

allocate

the

enterprise

value

of

the

company

among

the

various

parts

of

its

capital

structure. 

The

Private

Companies

are

not

subject

to

the

public

company

disclosure,

timing,

and

reporting

standards

applicable

to other

investments

held

by the

Fund.

Typically,

the

most

recently

available

information

by

a

Private

Company

is

as

of

a

date

that

is

earlier

than

the

date the

Fund

is

calculating

its

NAV.

This

factor

may

result

in

a

difference

between

the

value

of

the

investment

and

the

price the

Fund

could

receive

upon

the

sale

of

the

investment.

Fair

Value

Hierarchy:

Various

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments.

These

inputs

to

valuation

techniques

are

categorized

into

a

fair

value

hierarchy

consisting

of

three

broad

levels

for

financial reporting purposes

as

follows:

As

certain

SECURITIES

AND

OTHER

INVESTMENTS 

Preferred

Stocks:

Preferred

stock

has

a

preference

over

common

stock

in

liquidation

(and

generally

in

receiving

dividends

as

well),

but

is

subordinated

to

the

liabilities

of

the

issuer

in

all

respects.

As

a

general

rule,

the

market

value

of

preferred

stock

with

a

fixed

dividend

rate

and

no

conversion

element

varies

inversely

with

interest

rates

and

perceived

credit

risk,

while

the

market

price

of

convertible

preferred

stock

generally

also

reflects

some

element

of

conversion

value.

Because

preferred

stock

is

junior

to

debt

securities

and

other

obligations

of

the

issuer,

deterioration

in

the

credit

quality

of

the

issuer

will

cause

greater

changes

in

the

value

of

a

preferred

stock

than

in

a

more

senior

debt

security

with

similar

stated

yield

characteristics.

Unlike

interest

payments

on

debt

securities,

preferred

stock

dividends

are

payable

only

if

declared

by

the

issuer’s

board

of

directors.

Preferred

stock

also

may

be

subject

to

optional

or

mandatory

redemption

provisions. 

Warrants:

Warrants

entitle

a

fund

to

purchase

a

specified

number

of

shares

of

common

stock

and

are

non-income

producing.

The

purchase

price

and

number

of

shares

are

subject

to

adjustment

under

certain

conditions

until

the

expiration

date

of

the

warrants,

if

any.

If

the

price

of

the

underlying

stock

does

not

rise

above

the

strike

price

before

the

warrant

expires,

the

warrant

generally

expires

without

any

value

and

a

fund

will

lose

any

amount

it

paid

for

the

warrant.

Thus,

investments

in

warrants

may

involve

more

risk

than

investments

in

common

stock.

Warrants

may

trade

in

the

same

markets

as

their

underlying

stock;

however,

the

price

of

the

warrant

does

not

necessarily

move

with

the

price

of

the

underlying

stock.

Floating

Rate

Loan

Interests:

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

typically

issued

to

companies

(the

“borrower”)

by

banks,

other

financial

institutions,

or

privately

and

publicly

offered

corporations

(the

“lender”).

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

generally

non-investment

grade,

often

involve

borrowers

whose

financial

condition

is

troubled

or

uncertain

and

companies

that

are

highly

leveraged

or

in

bankruptcy

proceedings.

In

addition,

transactions

in

floating

rate

loan

interests

may

settle

on

a

delayed

basis,

which

may

result

in

proceeds

from

the

sale

not

being

readily

available

for

a

fund

to

make

additional

investments

or

meet

its

redemption

obligations.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

may

include

fully

funded

term

loans

or

revolving

lines

of

credit.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

typically

senior

in

the

corporate

capital

structure

of

the

borrower.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

generally

pay

interest

at

rates

that

are

periodically

determined

by

reference

to

a

base

lending

rate

plus

a

premium.

Since

the

rates

reset

only

periodically,

changes

in

prevailing

interest

rates

(and

particularly

sudden

and

significant

changes)

can

be

expected

to

cause

some

fluctuations

in

the

NAV

of

a

fund

to

the

extent

that

it

invests

in

floating

rate

loan

interests.

The

base

lending

rates

are

generally

the

lending

rate

offered

by

one

or

more

European

banks,

such

as

the

London

Interbank

Offered

Rate

(“LIBOR”),

the

prime

rate

offered

by

one

or

more

U.S.

banks

or

the

certificate

of

deposit

rate.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

may

involve

foreign

borrowers,

and

investments

may

be

denominated

in

foreign

currencies.

These

investments

are

treated

as

investments

in

debt

securities

for

purposes

of

a

fund’s

investment

policies. 

When

a

fund

purchases

a

floating

rate

loan

interest,

it

may

receive

a

facility

fee

and

when

it

sells

a

floating

rate

loan

interest,

it

may

pay

a

facility

fee.

On

an

ongoing

basis,

a

fund

may

receive

a

commitment

fee

based

on

the

undrawn

portion

of

the

underlying

line

of

credit

amount

of

a

floating

rate

loan

interest.

Facility

and

commitment

fees

are

typically

amortized

to

income

over

the

term

of

the

loan

or

term

of

the

commitment,

respectively.

Consent

and

amendment

fees

are

recorded

to

income

as

earned.

Prepayment

penalty

fees,

which

may

be

received

by

a

fund

upon

the

prepayment

of

a

floating

rate

loan

interest

by

a

borrower,

are

recorded

as

realized

gains.

A

fund

may

invest

in

multiple

series

or

tranches

of

a

loan.

A

different

series

or

tranche

may

have

varying

terms

and

carry

different

associated

risks.

Floating

rate

loan

interests

are

usually

freely

callable

at

the

borrower’s

option.

A

fund

may

invest

in

such

loans

in

the

form

of

participations

in

loans

(“Participations”)

or

assignments

(“Assignments”)

of

all

or

a

portion

of

loans

from

third

parties.

Participations

typically

will

result

in

a

fund

having

a

contractual

relationship

only

with

the

lender,

not

with

the

borrower.

A

fund

has

the

right

to

receive

payments

of

principal,

interest

and

any

fees

to

which

it

is

entitled

only

from

the

lender

selling

the

Participation

and

only

upon

receipt

by

the

lender

of

the

payments

from

the

borrower.

In

connection

with

purchasing

Participations,

a

fund

generally

will

have

no

right

to

enforce

compliance

by

the

borrower

with

the

terms

of

the

loan

agreement,

nor

any

rights

of

offset

against

the

borrower.

A

fund

may

not

benefit

directly

from

any

collateral

supporting

the

loan

in

which

it

has

purchased

the

Participation.

As

a

result,

a

fund

assumes

the

credit

risk

of

both

the

borrower

and

the

lender

that

is

selling

the

Participation.

A

fund’s

investment

in

loan

participation

interests

involves

the

risk

of

insolvency

of

the

financial

intermediaries

who

are

parties

to

the

transactions.

In

the

event

of

the

insolvency

of

the

lender

selling

the

Participation,

a

fund

may

be

treated

as

a

general

creditor

of

the

lender

and

may

not

benefit

from

any

offset

between

the

lender

and

the

borrower.

Assignments

typically

result

in

a

fund

having

a

direct

contractual

relationship

with

the

borrower,

and

a

fund

may

enforce

compliance

by

the

borrower

with

the

terms

of

the

loan

agreement.

Securities

Lending:

The

Fund

may

lend

its

securities

to

approved

borrowers,

such

as

brokers,

dealers

and

other

financial

institutions.

The

borrower

pledges

and

maintains

with

the

Fund

collateral

consisting

of

cash,

an

irrevocable

letter

of

credit

issued

by

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

market

value

of

the

securities

on

loan.

The

market

value

of

the

loaned

securities

is

determined

at

the

close

of

each

business

day

of the

Fund

and

any

additional

required

collateral

is

delivered

to the

Fund,

or

excess

collateral

returned

by the

Fund,

on

the

next

business

day.

During

the

term

of

the

loan,

the

Fund

is

entitled

to

all

distributions

made

on

or

in

respect

of

the

loaned

securities,

but

does

not

receive

interest

income

on

securities

received

as

collateral.

Loans

of

securities

are

terminable

at

any

time

and

the

borrower,

after

notice,

is

required

to

return

borrowed

securities

within

the

standard

time

period

for

settlement

of

securities

transactions.

As

of

period

end,

any

securities

on

loan

were

collateralized

by

cash

and/or

U.S.

Government

obligations.

Cash

collateral

invested

by

the

securities

lending

agent, BlackRock

Investment

Management,

LLC

(“BIM”),

if

any,

is

disclosed

in

the

Schedule

of

Investments.

Any

non-cash

collateral

received

cannot

be

sold,

re-invested

or

pledged

by

the

Fund,

except

in

the

event

of

borrower

default.

The

securities

on

loan,

if

any,

are

disclosed

in

the

Fund’s

 Schedule

of

Investments.

The

market

value

of

any

securities

on

loan

and

the

value

of

related

collateral,

if

any,

 are

shown

separately

in

the

 Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities

as

a

component

of

investments

at

value

–

unaffiliated

and

collateral

on

securities

loaned,

respectively.

Securities

lending

transactions

are

entered

into

by

the

Fund

under

Master

Securities

Lending

Agreements

(each,

an

“MSLA”),

which

provide

the

right,

in

the

event

of

default

(including

bankruptcy

or

insolvency),

for

the

non-defaulting

party

to

liquidate

the

collateral

and

calculate

a

net

exposure

to

the

defaulting

party

or

request

additional

collateral.

In

the

event

that

a

borrower

defaults,

the

Fund,

as

lender,

would

offset

the

market

value

of

the

collateral

received

against

the

market

value

of

the

securities

loaned.

When

the

value

of

the

collateral

is

greater

than

that

of

the

market

value

of

the

securities

loaned,

the

lender

is

left

with

a

net

amount

payable

to

the

defaulting

party.

However,

bankruptcy

or

insolvency

laws

of

a

particular

jurisdiction

may

impose

restrictions

on

or

prohibitions

against

such

a

right

of

offset

in

the

event

of

an

MSLA

counterparty’s

bankruptcy

or

insolvency.

Under

the

MSLA,

absent

an

event

of

default,

the

borrower

can

resell

or

re-pledge

the

loaned

securities,

and

the

Fund

can

reinvest

cash

collateral

received

in

connection

with

loaned

securities.

Upon

an

event

of

default,

the

parties’

obligations

to

return

the

securities

or

collateral

to

the

other

party

are

extinguished,

and

the

parties

can

resell

or

re-pledge

the

loaned

securities

or

the

collateral

received

in

connection

with

the

loaned

securities

in

order

to

satisfy

the

defaulting

party’s

net

payment

obligation

for

all

transactions

under

the

MSLA.

The

defaulting

party

remains

liable

for

any

deficiency.

Notes

to

Financial

Statements

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

BIM.

BIM’s

indemnity

allows

for

full

replacement

of

the

securities

loaned

to

the

extent the

collateral

received

does

not

cover

the

value

on

the

securities

loaned

in

the

event

of

borrower

default.

The

Fund

could

incur

a

loss

if

the

value

of

an

investment

purchased

with

cash

collateral

falls

below

the

market

value

of

loaned

securities

or

if

the

value

of

an

purchased

with

cash

collateral

falls

below

the

value

of

the

original

cash

collateral

received. Such

losses

are

borne

entirely

by

the

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

The

Fund

engages

in

various

portfolio

investment

strategies

using

derivative

contracts

both

to

increase

the

returns

of

the

Fund

and/or

to

manage

its

exposure

to

certain

risks

such

as

credit

risk,

equity

risk,

interest

rate

risk,

foreign

currency

exchange

rate

risk,

commodity

price

risk

or

other

risks

(e.g.,

inflation

risk).

Derivative

financial

instruments

categorized

by

risk

exposure

are

included

in

the

Schedule

of

Investments.

These

contracts

may

be

transacted

on

an

exchange or

over-the-counter

(“OTC”).

Forward

Foreign

Currency

Exchange

Contracts

:

Forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

are

entered

into

to

gain

or

reduce

exposure

to

foreign

currencies

(foreign

currency

exchange

rate

risk).

A

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contract

is

an

agreement

between

two

parties

to

buy

and

sell

a

currency

at

a

set

exchange

rate

on

a

specified

date.

These

contracts

help

to

manage

the

overall

exposure

to

the

currencies

in

which

some

of

the

investments

held

by

the

Fund

are

denominated

and

in

some

cases,

may

be

used

to

obtain

exposure

to

a

particular

market.

The

contracts

are

traded

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

(depreciation)

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

When

a

contract

is

closed,

a

realized

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

equal

to

the

difference

between

the

value

at

the

time

it

was

opened

and

the

value

at

the

time

it

was

closed.

Non-deliverable

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

are

settled

with

the

counterparty

in

cash

without

the

delivery

of

foreign

currency.

The

use

of

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

involves

the

risk

that

the

value

of

a

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contract

changes

unfavorably

due

to

movements

in

the

value

of

the

referenced

foreign

currencies,

and

such

value

may

exceed

the

amount(s)

reflected

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Cash

amounts

pledged

for

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

are

considered

restricted

and

are

included

in

cash

pledged

as

collateral

for

OTC

derivatives

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

A

Fund’s

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

Fund.

Options:

The

Fund

may purchase

gives

the

purchaser

of

the

the

right

(but

not

the

A

put

option

gives

the

holder

the

right

to

sell

and

obligates

the

writer

to

buy

the

underlying

instrument

at

the

exercise

or

strike

price

at

time

or

at

a

specified

time

Premiums

paid

on

options

purchased

and

premiums

received

on

options

written,

as

well

as

the

daily

fluctuation

in

value,

are

included

in

investments

at

value

–

unaffiliated

and

options

written

at

value,

respectively,

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

When

an

instrument

is

purchased

or

sold

through

the

exercise

of

an

option,

the

premium

is

offset

against

the

cost

or

proceeds

of

the

underlying

instrument.

When

an

option

expires,

a

realized

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

to

the

extent

of

the

premiums

received

or

paid.

When

an

option

is

closed

or

sold,

a

gain

or

loss

is

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Operations

to

the

extent

the

cost

of

the

closing

transaction

exceeds

the

premiums

received

or

paid.

When

the

Fund

writes

a

call

option,

such

option

is

typically

“covered,”

meaning

that

it

holds

the

underlying

instrument

subject

to

being

called

by

the

option

counterparty.

When

the

Fund

writes

a

put

option,

cash

is

segregated in

an

amount

sufficient

to

cover

the

obligation.

These

amounts,

which

are

considered

restricted,

are

included

in

cash

pledged

as

collateral

for

options

written

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

In

purchasing

and

writing

options,

the

Fund

bears

the

risk

of

an

unfavorable

change

in

the

value

of

the

underlying

instrument

or

the

risk

that

it

may

not

be

able

to

enter

into

a

closing

transaction

due

to

an

illiquid

market.

Exercise

of

a

could

result

in

the

purchasing

a

security

when

it

otherwise

would

not,

or

at

a

price

from

the

current

between

the

and

the

Fund’s

basis

in

the

contract,

if

any.

Generally,

the

basis

of

the

contract

is

the

premium

received

or

paid.

In

a

centrally

cleared

swap,

immediately

following

execution

of

the

swap

contract,

the

swap

contract

is

novated

to

a

central

counterparty

(the

“CCP”)

and

the

CCP

becomes

the Fund’s

counterparty

on

the

swap.

The

Fund

is

required

to

interface

with

the

CCP

through

the

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

of

the

deposited

as

Pursuant

an

or

to

exposure

to

corporate

and/or

to

which

a

(credit

The

Fund

may

either

buy

or

(write)

credit

default

swaps

on

single-name

issuers

(corporate

or

sovereign),

a

combination

or

basket

of

Credit

default

swaps

are

agreements

in

which

the

buyer

pays

fixed

periodic

payments

to

the

seller

in

consideration

for

a

promise

from

the

protection

seller

to

make

should

a

place

with

respect

to

the

entity

(e.g.,

bankruptcy,

failure

to

pay,

obligation

acceleration,

repudiation,

moratorium

or

restructuring).

As

a

buyer,

if

an

underlying

credit

event

occurs,

the

Fund

will

either

(i)

receive

from

the

an

amount

equal

Swap

transactions

involve,

to

varying

degrees,

elements

of

interest

rate,

credit

and

market

risks

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.

Master

Netting

Arrangements:

In

order

to

define

its

contractual

rights

and

to

secure

rights

that

will

help

it mitigate its

counterparty

risk, the

Fund

may

enter

into

an

International

Swaps

and

Derivatives

Association,

Inc.

Master

Agreement

(“ISDA

Master

Agreement”)

or

similar

agreement

with

its

counterparties.

An

ISDA

Master

Agreement

is

a

bilateral

agreement

between a

Fund

and

a

counterparty

that

governs

certain

OTC

derivatives

and

typically

contains,

among

other

things,

collateral

posting

terms

and

netting

provisions

in

the

event

of

a

default

and/or

termination

event.

Under

an

ISDA

Master

Agreement, a

Fund

may,

under

certain

circumstances,

offset

with

the

counterparty

certain

derivative

financial

instruments’

payables

and/or

receivables

with

collateral

held

and/or

posted

and

create

one

single

net

payment.

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,

insolvency

or

other

events.

Collateral

Requirements:

For

derivatives

traded

under

an

ISDA

Master

Agreement,

the

collateral

requirements

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

Fund(s)

and

the

counterparty.

Cash

collateral

that

has

been

pledged

to

cover

obligations

of

the

Fund

and

cash

collateral

received

from

the

counterparty,

if

any,

is

reported

separately

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities

as

cash

pledged

as

collateral

and

cash

received

as

collateral,

respectively.

Non-cash

collateral

pledged

by

the

Fund,

if

any,

is

noted

in

the

Schedule

of

Investments.

Generally,

the

amount

of

collateral

due

from

or

to

a

counterparty

is

subject

to

a

certain

minimum

transfer

amount

threshold

before

a

transfer

is

required,

which

is

determined

at

the

close

of

business

of

the

Fund.

Any

additional

required

collateral

is

delivered

to/pledged

by

the

Fund

on

the

next

business

day.

Typically,

the

counterparty

is

not

permitted

to

sell,

re-pledge

or

use

cash

and

non-cash

collateral

it

receives.

The

Fund

generally

agrees

not

to

use

non-cash

collateral

that

it

receives

but

may,

absent

default

or

certain

other

circumstances

defined

in

the

underlying

ISDA

Master

Agreement,

be

permitted

to

use

cash

collateral

received.

In

such

cases,

interest

may

be

paid

pursuant

to

the

collateral

arrangement

with

the

counterparty.

To

the

extent

amounts

due

to

the

Fund

from the

counterparties

are

not

fully

collateralized, the

Fund bears

the

risk

of

loss

from

counterparty

non-performance.

Likewise,

to

the

extent

the

Fund

has

delivered

collateral

to

a

counterparty

and

stands

ready

to

perform

under

the

terms

of

its

agreement

with

such

counterparty, the

Fund bears the

risk

of

loss

from

a

counterparty

in

the

amount

of

the

value

of

the

collateral

in

the

event

the

counterparty

fails

to

return

such

collateral.

Based

on

the

terms

of

agreements,

collateral

may

not

be

required

for

all

derivative

contracts.

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

the

Fund

does

not

offset

derivative

assets

and

derivative

liabilities

that

are

subject

to

netting

arrangements,

if

any,

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Securities

Lending:

 The

U.S.

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

(“SEC”)

has

issued

an

exemptive

order

which

permits BIM,

an

affiliate

of

the

Manager,

to

serve

as

securities

lending

agent

for

the

Fund,

subject

to

applicable

conditions.

As

securities

lending

agent,

BIM

bears

all

operational

costs

directly

related

to

securities

lending.

The

Fund

is

responsible

for

expenses

in

connection

with

the

investment

of

cash

collateral

received

for

securities

on

loan

(the

“collateral

investment

expenses”).

The

cash

collateral

is

invested

in

a

private

investment

company,

Money

Market

Series, managed

by

the

Manager

or

its

affiliates.

However,

BIM

has

agreed

to

cap

the

collateral

investment

expenses

of

the Money

Market

Series to

an

annual

rate

of

0.04%.

The

investment

adviser

to

the Money

Market

Series will

not

charge

any

advisory

fees

with

respect

to

shares

purchased

by

the

Fund.

The

Money

Market

Series

may,

under

certain

circumstances,

impose

a

liquidity

fee

of

up

to

2%

of

the

value

withdrawn

or

temporarily

restrict

withdrawals

for

up

to

10

business

days

during

a

90

day

period,

in

the

event

that

the

private

investment

company’s

weekly

liquid

assets

fall

below

certain

thresholds. The

Money

Market

Series

seeks

current

income

consistent

with

maintaining

liquidity

and

preserving

capital.

Although

the

Money

Market

Series

is

not

registered

under

the

1940

Act,

its

investments

may

follow

the

parameters

of

investments

by

a

money

market

fund

that

is

subject

to

Rule

2a-7

under

the

1940

Act.

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

expenses.

The

Fund

retains

a

portion

of

securities

lending

income

and

remits

a

remaining

portion

to

BIM

as

compensation

for

its

services

as

securities

lending

agent.  

Pursuant

to

the

current

securities

lending

agreement,

the

Fund

retains

81%

of

securities

lending

income

(which

excludes

collateral

investment

expenses),

and

this

amount

retained

can

never

be

less

than

70%

of

the

total

of

securities

lending

income

plus

the

collateral

investment

expenses.  

In

addition,

commencing

the

business

day

following

the

date

that

the

aggregate

securities

lending

income

earned

across

the

BlackRock Fixed-Income

Complex

in

a

calendar

year

exceeds

a

specified

threshold,

the

Fund,

pursuant

to

the

securities

lending

agreement,

will

retain

for

the

remainder

of

that

calendar

year

securities

lending

income

in

an

amount

equal

to

81%

of

securities

lending

income

(which

excludes

collateral

investment

expenses),

and

this

amount

retained

can

never

be

less

than

70%

of

the

total

of

securities

lending

income

plus

the

collateral

investment

expenses.

INCOME

TAX

INFORMATION 

It

is

the

Fund’s

policy

to

comply

with

the

requirements

of

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986,

as

amended,

applicable

to

regulated

investment

companies,

and

to

distribute

substantially

all

of

its

taxable

income

to

its

shareholders.

Therefore,

no

U.S.

federal

income

tax

provision

is

required. 

The

Fund

files

U.S.

federal

and

various

state

and

local

tax

returns.

No

income

tax

returns

are

currently

under

examination.

The

generally

remains

open

for

a

period

of

three

years

after

of

limitations

on

the

Fund’s

state

and

local

tax

returns

may

remain

open

for

an

additional

 PRINCIPAL

RISKS 

In

the

normal

course

of

business,

the

Fund

invests

in

securities

or

other

instruments

and

may

enter

into

certain

transactions,

and

such

activities

subject

the

Fund

to

various

risks,

including

among

others,

fluctuations

in

the

market

(market

risk)

or

failure

of

an

issuer

to

meet

all

of

its

obligations.

The

value

of

securities

or

other

instruments

may

also

be

affected

by

various

factors,

including,

without

limitation:

(i)

the

general

economy;

(ii)

the

overall

market

as

well

as

local,

regional

or

global

political

and/or

social

instability;

(iii)

regulation,

taxation

or

international

tax

treaties

between

various

countries;

or

(iv)

currency,

interest

rate

and

price

fluctuations.

Local,

regional

or

global

events

such

as

war,

acts

of

terrorism,

the

spread

of

infectious

illness

or

other

public

health

issues,

recessions,

or

other

events

could

have

a

significant

impact

on

the

Fund

and its

investments.

Market Risk:

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

risk,

which

is

the

risk

that

borrowers

may

exercise

their

option

to

prepay

principal

earlier

than

scheduled

during

periods

of

declining

interest

rates,

which

would

force

the

Fund

to

securities. The

Fund

may

also

be

exposed

to

risk,

which

is

the

risk

that

will

decline

if

the Fund

invests

or

called

fixed-income

securities

at

market

interest

rates

that

are

below

the

Fund

portfolio’s

current

earnings

rate.

Infectious

Illness

Risk:

An

outbreak

of

an

infectious

illness,

such

as

the

COVID-19

pandemic,

may

adversely

impact

the

economies

of

many

nations

and

the

global

economy,

and

may

impact

individual

issuers

and

capital

markets

in

ways

that

cannot

be

foreseen.

An

infectious

illness

outbreak

may

result

in,

among

other

things,

closed

international

borders,

prolonged

quarantines,

supply

chain

disruptions,

market

volatility

or

disruptions

and

other

significant

economic,

social

and

political

impacts.

Valuation

Risk:

The

market

values

of

equities,

such

as

common

stocks

and

preferred

securities

or

equity

related

investments,

such

as

futures

and

options,

may

decline

due

to

general

market

conditions

which

are

not

specifically

related

to

a

particular

company.

They

may

also

decline

due

to

factors

which

affect

a

particular

industry

or

industries. The

Fund

may

invest

in

illiquid

investments.

An

illiquid

investment

is

any

investment

that the

Fund

reasonably

expects

cannot

be

sold

or

disposed

of

in

current

market

conditions

in

seven

calendar

days

or

less

without

the

sale

or

disposition

significantly

changing

the

market

value

of

the

investment. The

Fund

may

experience

difficulty

in

selling

illiquid

investments

in

a

timely

manner

at

the

price

that it

believes

the

investments

are

worth.

Prices

may

fluctuate

widely

over

short

or

extended

periods

in

response

to

company,

market

or

economic

news.

Markets

also

tend

to

move

in

cycles,

with

periods

of

rising

and

falling

prices.

This

volatility

may

cause

the

Fund’s

NAV

to

experience

significant

increases

or

decreases

over

short

periods

of

time.

If

there

is

a

general

decline

in

the

securities

and

other

markets,

the

NAV

of the

Fund

may

lose

value,

regardless

of

the

individual

results

of

the

securities

and

other

instruments

in

which the

Fund

invests. 

The

price the

Fund

could

receive

upon

the

sale

of

any

particular

portfolio

investment

may

differ

from the

Fund’s

valuation

of

the

investment,

particularly

for

securities

that

trade

in

thin

or

volatile

markets

or

that

are

valued

using

a

fair

valuation

technique

or

a

price

provided

by

an

independent

pricing

service.

Changes

to

significant

unobservable

inputs

and

assumptions

(i.e.,

publicly

traded

company

multiples,

growth

rate,

time

to

exit)

due

to

the

lack

of

observable

inputs

may

significantly

impact

the

resulting

fair

value

and

therefore

the

Fund’s

results

of

operations.

As

a

result,

the

price

received

upon

the

sale

of

an

investment

may

be

less

than

the

value

ascribed

by the

Fund,

and the

Fund

could

realize

a

greater

than

expected

loss

or

lesser

than

expected

gain

upon

the

sale

of

the

investment. The

Fund’s

ability

to

value

its

investments

may

also

be

impacted

by

technological

issues

and/or

errors

by

pricing

services

or

other

third-party

service

providers. 

Counterparty

Credit

Risk:

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

counterparty

credit

risk,

or

the

risk

that

an

entity

may

fail

to

or

be

unable

to

perform

on

its

commitments

related

to

unsettled

or

open

transactions,

including

making

timely

interest

and/or

principal

payments

or

otherwise

honoring

its

obligations.

The

Fund

manages

counterparty

credit

risk

by

entering

into

transactions

only

with

counterparties

that

the

Manager

believes

have

the

financial

resources

to

honor

their

obligations

and

by

monitoring

the

financial

stability

of

those

counterparties.

Financial

assets,

which

potentially

expose

the

Fund

to

market,

issuer

and

counterparty

credit

risks,

consist

principally

of

financial

instruments

and

receivables

due

from

counterparties.

The

extent

of

the

Fund’s

exposure

to

market,

issuer

and

counterparty

credit

risks

with

respect

to

these

financial

assets

is

approximately

their

value

recorded

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities,

less

any

collateral

held

by

the

Fund. 

A

derivative

contract

may

suffer

a

mark-to-market

loss

if

the

value

of

the

contract

decreases

due

to

an

unfavorable

change

in

the

market

rates

or

values

of

the

underlying

instrument.

Losses

can

also

occur

if

the

counterparty

does

not

perform

under

the

contract.

With

exchange-traded

options

purchased

and

centrally

cleared

swaps,

there

is

less

counterparty

credit

risk

to

the

Fund

since

the

exchange

or

clearinghouse,

as

counterparty

to

such

instruments,

guarantees

against

a

possible

default.

The

clearinghouse

stands

between

the

buyer

and

the

seller

of

the

contract;

therefore,

credit

risk

is

limited

to

failure

of

the

clearinghouse.

While

offset

rights

may

exist

under

applicable

law, the

Fund

does

not

have

a

contractual

right

of

offset

against

a

clearing

broker

or

clearinghouse

in

the

event

of

a

default

(including

the

bankruptcy

or

insolvency).

Additionally,

credit

risk

exists

in centrally

cleared

swaps

with

respect

to

initial

and

variation

margin

that

is

held

in

a

clearing

broker’s

customer

accounts.

While

clearing

brokers

are

required

to

segregate

customer

margin

from

their

own

assets,

in

the

event

that

a

clearing

broker

becomes

insolvent

or

goes

into

bankruptcy

and

at

that

time

there

is

a

shortfall

in

the

aggregate

amount

of

margin

held

by

the

clearing

broker

for

all

its

clients,

typically

the

shortfall

would

be

allocated

on

a

pro

rata

basis

across

all

the

clearing

broker’s

customers,

potentially

resulting

in

losses

to

the

Fund. 

Concentration

Risk:

 A

diversified

portfolio,

where

this

is appropriate

and

consistent

with

a

fund’s

objectives,

minimizes

the

risk

that

a

price

change

of

a

particular

investment

will

have

a

material

impact

on

the

NAV

of

a

fund.

The

investment

concentrations

within

the

Fund’s

portfolio

are

disclosed

in

its Schedule

of

Investments.

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in

high

yield

securities.

High

yield

securities

that

are

rated

below

investment-grade

(commonly

referred

to

as

“junk

bonds”)

or

are

unrated

may

be

deemed

speculative,

involve

greater

levels

of

risk

than

higher-rated

securities

of

similar

maturity

and

are

more

likely

to

default.

High

yield

securities

may

be

issued

by

less

creditworthy

issuers,

and

issuers

of

high

yield

securities

may

be

unable

to

meet

their

interest

or

principal

payment

obligations.

High

yield

securities

are

subject

to

extreme

price

fluctuations,

may

be

less

liquid

than

higher

rated

fixed-income

securities,

even

under

normal

economic

conditions,

and

frequently

have

redemption

features. 

The

Fund

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in fixed-income securities and/or uses

derivatives tied

to

the

fixed-income

markets.

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.

The

Fund

may

be

subject

to

a

greater

risk

of

rising

interest

rates

due

to

the recent

period

of

historically

low

interest rates. The

Federal

Reserve

has

recently

begun

to

raise

the

federal

funds

rate

as

part

of

its

efforts

to

address

inflation.

There

is

a

risk

that

interest

rates

will

continue

to

rise,

which

will

likely

drive

down

the

prices

of

bonds

and

other

fixed-income

securities,

and

could

negatively

impact

the

Fund’s

performance.

Significant

Shareholder

Redemption

Risk:

Certain

shareholders

may

own

or

manage

a

substantial

amount

of

fund

shares

and/or

hold

their

fund

investments

for

a

limited

period

of

time.

Large

redemptions

of

fund

shares

by

these

shareholders

may

force

a

fund

to

sell

portfolio

securities,

which

may

negatively

impact

the

fund’s

NAV,

increase

the

fund’s

brokerage

costs,

and/or

accelerate

the

realization

of

taxable

income/gains

and

cause

the

fund

to

make

additional

taxable

distributions

to

shareholders.

LIBOR

Transition

Risk:

The

Fund

may

be

exposed

to

financial

instruments

that

are

tied

to

LIBOR

to

determine

payment

obligations,

financing

terms,

hedging

strategies

or

investment

value.

The

United

Kingdom’s

Financial

Conduct

Authority,

which

regulates

LIBOR,

announced

that

a

majority

of

USD

LIBOR

settings

will

no

longer

be

published

after

June

30,

2023.

All

other

LIBOR

settings

and

certain

other

interbank

offered

rates

ceased

to

be

published

after

December

31,

2021.

SOFR

has

been

used

Financial

Statements

(unaudited)

(continued)

43

Notes

to

Financial

Statements

on

a

voluntary

basis

in

The

Federal

Reserve

Board

adopted

regulations

that

provide

a

fallback

mechanism

by

identifying

benchmark

rates

based

on

SOFR

that

will

replace

LIBOR

in

certain

financial

contracts

after

June

30,

2023. The

ultimate

effect

of

the

LIBOR

transition

process

on

the

Fund

is

uncertain.

Statement

Regarding

Liquidity

Management

Program

2023

BlackRock

Semi-Annual

Report

to

Shareholders

44

In

compliance

with

Rule

22e-4

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended

(the

“Liquidity

Rule”),

BlackRock

Funds

V

(the

“Trust”)

has

adopted

and

implemented

a

liquidity

risk

management

program

(the

“Program”)

for

BlackRock

Floating

Rate

Income

Portfolio

(the

“Fund”),

a

series

of

the

Trust,

which

is

reasonably

designed

to

assess

and

manage

the

Fund’s

liquidity

risk.

The

Board

of

Trustees

(the

“Board”)

of

the

Trust,

on

behalf

of

the

Fund

met

on

November

10-11,

2022

(the

“Meeting”)

to

review

the

Program.

The

Board

previously

appointed

BlackRock

Advisors,

LLC,

the

investment

adviser

to

the

Fund,

as

the

program

administrator

for

the

Fund’s

Program.

BlackRock

also

previously

delegated

oversight

of

the

Program

to

the

40

Act

Liquidity

Risk

Management

Committee

(the

“Committee”).

At

the

Meeting,

the

Committee,

on

behalf

of

BlackRock,

provided

the

Board

with

a

report

that

addressed

the

operation

of

the

Program

and

assessed

its

adequacy

and

effectiveness

of

implementation,

including

the

management

of

the

Fund’s

Highly

Liquid

Investment

Minimum

(“HLIM”)

where

applicable,

and

any

material

changes

to

the

Program

(the

“Report”).

The

Report

covered

the

period

from

October

1,

2021

through

September

30,

2022

(the

“Program

Reporting

Period”).

The

Report

described

the

Program’s

liquidity

classification

methodology

for

categorizing

the

Fund’s

investments

(including

derivative

transactions)

into

one

of

four

liquidity

buckets.

It

also

referenced

the

methodology

used

by

BlackRock

to

establish

the

Fund’s

HLIM

and

noted

that

the

Committee

reviews

and

ratifies

the

HLIM

assigned

to

the

Fund

no

less

frequently

than

annually.

The

Report

also

discussed

notable

events

affecting

liquidity

over

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

including

the

imposition

of

capital

controls

in

certain

countries.

The

Report

noted

that

the

Program

complied

with

the

key

factors

for

consideration

under

the

Liquidity

Rule

for

assessing,

managing

and

periodically

reviewing

the

Fund’s

liquidity

risk,

as

follows:

a)

The

Fund’s

investment

strategy

and

liquidity

of

portfolio

investments

during

both

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions

.

During

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

the

Committee

reviewed

whether

the

Fund’s

strategy

is

appropriate

for

an

open-end

fund

structure

with

a

focus

on

funds

with

more

significant

and

consistent

holdings

of

less

liquid

and

illiquid

assets.

The

Committee

also

factored

a

fund’s

concentration

in

an

issuer

into

the

liquidity

classification

methodology

by

taking

issuer

position

sizes

into

account.

Where

a

fund

participated

in

borrowings

for

investment

purposes

(such

as

tender

option

bonds

or

reverse

repurchase

agreements),

such

borrowings

were

factored

into

the

Program’s

calculation

of

a

fund’s

liquidity

bucketing.

A

fund’s

derivative

exposure

was

also

considered

in

such

calculation.

b)

Short-term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections

during

both

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions

.

During

the

Program

Reporting

Period,

the

Committee

reviewed

historical

redemption

activity

and

used

this

information

as

a

component

to

establish

the

Fund’s

reasonably

anticipated

trading

size

utilized

for

liquidity

classifications.

The

Fund

has

adopted

an

in-kind

redemption

policy

which

may

be

utilized

to

meet

larger

redemption

requests.

The

Committee

may

also

take

into

consideration

a

fund’s

shareholder

ownership

concentration

(which,

depending

on

product

type

and

distribution

channel,

may

or

may

not

be

available),

a

fund’s

distribution

channels,

and

the

degree

of

certainty

associated

with

a

fund’s

short-term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections.

c)

Holdings

of

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

as

well

as

borrowing

arrangements

.

The

Committee

considered

the

terms

of

the

credit

facility

committed

to

the

Fund,

the

financial

health

of

the

institution

providing

the

facility

and

the

fact

that

the

credit

facility

is

shared

among

multiple

funds

(including

that

a

portion

of

the

aggregate

commitment

amount

is

specifically

designated

for

BlackRock

Floating

Rate

Income

Portfolio,

a

series

of

BlackRock

Funds

V,

and

BlackRock

Floating

Rate

Loan

ETF,

a

series

of

BlackRock

ETF

Trust

II).

The

Committee

also

considered

other

types

of

borrowing

available

to

the

funds,

such

as

the

ability

to

use

reverse

repurchase

agreements

and

interfund

lending,

as

applicable.

There

were

no

material

changes

to

the

Program

during

the

Program

Reporting

Period

other

than

the

enhancement

of

certain

model

components

in

the

Program’s

classification

methodology.

The

Report

provided

to

the

Board

stated

that

the

Committee

concluded

that

based

on

the

operation

of

the

functions,

as

described

in

the

Report,

the

Program

is

operating

as

intended

and

is

effective

in

implementing

the

requirements

of

the

Liquidity

Rule.
