The
Benefits
and
Risks
of
Leveraging
The
Benefits
and
Risks
of
Leveraging
/
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
may
utilize
leverage
to
seek
to
enhance
returns
and
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
However,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
these
objectives
can
be
achieved
in
all
interest
rate
environments.
The
Fund
may
utilize
leverage
by
entering
into
reverse
repurchase
agreements.
In
general,
the
concept
of
leveraging
is
based
on
the
premise
that
the
financing
cost
of
leverage,
which
is
based
on
short-term
interest
rates,
is
normally
lower
than
the
income
earned
by
the
Fund
on
its
longer-term
portfolio
investments
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage.
To
the
extent
that
the
total
assets
of
the
Fund
(including
the
assets
obtained
from
leverage)
are
invested
in
higher-yielding
portfolio
investments,
the
Fund’s
shareholders
benefit
from
the
incremental
net
income.
The
interest
earned
on
securities
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage
is
distributed
to
the
Fund’s
shareholders,
and
the
value
of
these
portfolio
holdings
is
reflected
in
the
Fund’s
per
share
NAV.
However,
in
order
to
benefit
shareholders,
the
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds
must
exceed
the
ongoing
costs
associated
with
the
leverage.
If
interest
and
other
ongoing
costs
of
leverage
exceed
the
Fund’s
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds,
income
to
shareholders
is
lower
than
if
the
Fund
had
not
used
leverage.
Furthermore,
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
investments
generally
varies
inversely
with
the
direction
of
long-term
interest
rates,
although
other
factors
can
also
influence
the
value
of
portfolio
investments.
As
a
result,
changes
in
interest
rates
can
influence
the
Fund’s
NAV
positively
or
negatively
in
addition
to
the
impact
on
the
Fund’s
performance
from
leverage.
Changes
in
the
direction
of
interest
rates
are
difficult
to
predict
accurately,
and
there
is
no
assurance
that
the
Fund’s
leveraging
strategy
will
be
successful.
The
use
of
leverage
also
generally
causes
greater
changes
in
the
Fund’s
NAV
and
dividend
rates
than
comparable
portfolios
without
leverage.
In
a
declining
market,
leverage
is
likely
to
cause
a
greater
decline
in
the
NAV
of the
Fund’s
shares
than
if
the
Fund
were
not
leveraged.
In
addition,
the
Fund
may
be
required
to
sell
portfolio
securities
at
inopportune
times
or
at
distressed
values
in
order
to
comply
with
regulatory
requirements
applicable
to
the
use
of
leverage
or
as
required
by
the
terms
of
the
leverage
instruments,
which
may
cause
the
Fund
to
incur
losses.
The
use
of
leverage
may
limit the
Fund’s
ability
to
invest
in
certain
types
of
securities
or
use
certain
types
of
hedging
strategies.
The
Fund
incurs
expenses
in
connection
with
the
use
of
leverage,
all
of
which
are
borne
by
the
Fund’s
shareholders
and
may
reduce
income.
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.

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
(the
“trade
dates”)
.
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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets.
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
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
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
value
of
participants’
deferral
accounts
is
allocated
among
the
participating
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex
and
reflected
as
Trustee
and
Officer
expense
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
Trustee
and
Officer
expense
may
be
negative
as
a
result
of
a
decrease
in
value
of
the
deferred
accounts.
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

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:
Fixed-income investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
using
the
last
available
bid
price
or
current
market
quotations
provided
by
independent
dealers
or
third-party
pricing
services. Pricing
services
generally
value
fixed-income
securities
assuming
orderly
transactions
of
an
institutional
round
lot
size,
but
a
fund
may
hold
or
transact
in
such
securities
in
smaller,
odd
lot
sizes.
Odd
lots
may
trade
at
lower
prices
than
institutional
round
lots.
The
pricing
services
may
use
matrix
pricing
or
valuation
models
that
utilize
certain
inputs
and
assumptions
to
derive
values,
including
transaction
data
(e.g.,
recent
representative
bids
and
offers),
market
data, credit
quality
information,
perceived
market
movements,
news,
and
other
relevant
information.
Certain
fixed-income
securities,
including
asset-
backed
and
mortgage
related
securities
may
be
valued
based
on
valuation
models
that
consider
the
estimated
cash
flows
of
each
tranche
of
the
entity,
establish
a
benchmark
yield
and
develop
an
estimated
tranche
specific
spread
to
the
benchmark
yield
based
on
the
unique
attributes
of
the
tranche.
The
amortized
cost
method
of
valuation
may
be
used
with
respect
to
debt
obligations
with
sixty
days
or
less
remaining
to
maturity
unless
the
Manager
determines
such
method
does
not
represent
fair
value.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
Futures
contracts
are valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
or
trade price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded.
Exchange-traded
options
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
last bid
and
ask
prices
at
the
close
of
the
options
market in
which
the
options
trade.
An
exchange-
traded
option
for
which there
is
no
mean
price
is
valued
at
the
last
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.
If
no
bid
or
ask
price
is
available,
the
prior
day’s
price will
be
used,
unless
it
is
determined
that
the
prior
day’s
price
no
longer
reflects
the
fair
value
of
the
option.
Over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
options
and
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
are
valued
by
an
independent
pricing
service
using
a
mathematical
model,
which
incorporates
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
the
trades
and
prices
of
the

be
representative
of
the

of
such

or
if
a

the

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
as
of
the
measurement
date.
For

issued
by
privately
held
companies
or

(“Private

the
fair
valuation
approaches
that
are
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee
and
third-party
pricing
services
utilized
by
the
Valuation
Committee
include one
or

(i)
recent

Information
Investments
in
series
of
preferred
stock
issued
by
Private
Companies
are
typically
valued
utilizing
a
market
approach to
determine 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
involves
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.
Private
Companies
are
not
subject
to
public
company
disclosure,
timing,
and
reporting
standards
applicable
to other
investments
held
by the
Fund.
Certain
information
made
available
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
at
the
measurement
date.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial reporting purposes
as
follows:
Level
1
—
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access
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;
and
Level
3 —
Inputs
that
are
unobservable
and
significant
to
the
entire
fair
value
measurement
for the
asset
or
liability
(including
the
Valuation
Committee’s
assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments).
The
hierarchy
gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level
3
measurements).
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
fair
value
hierarchy
classification
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety. Investments
classified
within
Level
3
have
significant
unobservable
inputs
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
Private
Companies
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.

SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS
Asset-Backed
and
Mortgage-Backed
Securities:
Asset-backed
securities
are
generally
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
or
as
debt
instruments.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
represent
undivided
fractional
ownership
interests
in
an
underlying
pool
of
assets.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
debt
instruments,
which
are
also
known
as
collateralized
obligations,
are
typically
issued
as
the
debt
of
a
special
purpose
entity
organized
solely
for
the
purpose
of
owning
such
assets
and
issuing
such
debt.
Asset-backed
securities
are
often
backed
by
a
pool
of
assets
representing
the
obligations
of
a
number
of
different
parties.
The
yield
characteristics
of
certain
asset-backed
securities
may
differ
from
traditional
debt
securities.
One
such
major
difference
is
that
all
or
a
principal
part
of
the
obligations
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time
because
the
underlying
assets
(i.e.,
loans)
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time.
As
a
result,
a
decrease
in
interest
rates
in
the
market
may
result
in
increases
in
the
level
of
prepayments
as
borrowers,
particularly
mortgagors,
refinance
and
repay
their
loans.
An
increased
prepayment
rate
with
respect
to
an
asset-backed
security
will
have
the
effect
of
shortening
the
maturity
of
the
security.
In
addition,
a
fund
may
subsequently
have
to
reinvest
the
proceeds
at
lower
interest
rates.
If
a
fund
has
purchased
such
an
asset-backed
security
at
a
premium,
a
faster
than
anticipated
prepayment
rate
could
result
in
a
loss
of
principal
to
the
extent
of
the
premium
paid.
For
mortgage
pass-through
securities
(the
“Mortgage
Assets”)
there
are
a
number
of
important
differences
among
the
agencies
and
instrumentalities
of
the
U.S.
Government
that
issue
mortgage-related
securities
and
among
the
securities
that
they
issue.
For
example,
mortgage-related
securities
guaranteed
by
Ginnie
Mae
are
guaranteed
as
to
the
timely
payment
of
principal
and
interest
by
Ginnie
Mae
and
such
guarantee
is
backed
by
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States.
However,
mortgage-related
securities
issued
by
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
including
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae
guaranteed
mortgage
pass-through
certificates,
which
are
solely
the
obligations
of
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
are
not
backed
by
or
entitled
to
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States,
but
are
supported
by
the
right
of
the
issuer
to
borrow
from
the
U.S.
Treasury.
Non-agency
mortgage-backed
securities
are
securities
issued
by
non-governmental
issuers
and
have
no
direct
or
indirect
government
guarantees
of
payment
and
are
subject
to
various
risks.
Non-agency
mortgage
loans
are
obligations
of
the
borrowers
thereunder
only
and
are
not
typically
insured
or
guaranteed
by
any
other
person
or
entity.
The
ability
of
a
borrower
to
repay
a
loan
is
dependent
upon
the
income
or
assets
of
the
borrower.
A
number
of
factors,
including
a
general
economic
downturn,
acts
of
God,
terrorism,
social
unrest
and
civil
disturbances,
may
impair
a
borrower’s
ability
to
repay
its
loans.
Collateralized
Debt
Obligations:
Collateralized
debt
obligations
(“CDOs”),
including
collateralized
bond
obligations
(“CBOs”)
and
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLOs”),
are
types
of
asset-backed
securities.
A
CDO
is
an
entity
that
is
backed
by
a
diversified
pool
of
debt
securities
(CBOs)
or
syndicated
bank
loans
(CLOs).
The
cash
flows
of
the
CDO
can
be
split
into
multiple
segments,
called
“tranches,”
which
will
vary
in
risk
profile
and
yield.
The
riskiest
segment
is
the
subordinated
or
“equity”
tranche.
This
tranche
bears
the
greatest
risk
of
defaults
from
the
underlying
assets
in
the
CDO
and
serves
to
protect
the
other,
more
senior,
tranches
from
default
in
all
but
the
most
severe
circumstances.
Since
it
is
shielded
from
defaults
by
the
more
junior
tranches,
a
“senior”
tranche
will
typically
have
higher
credit
ratings
and
lower
yields
than
their
underlying
securities,
and
often
receive
investment
grade
ratings
from
one
or
more
of
the
nationally
recognized
rating
agencies.
Despite
the
protection
from
the
more
junior
tranches,
senior
tranches
can
experience
substantial
losses
due
to
actual
defaults,
increased
sensitivity
to
future
defaults
and
the
disappearance
of
one
or
more
protecting
tranches
as
a
result
of
changes
in
the
credit
profile
of
the
underlying
pool
of
assets.
Multiple
Class
Pass-Through
Securities:
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities,
including
collateralized
mortgage
obligations
(“CMOs”)
and
commercial
mortgage-backed
securities,
may
be
issued
by
Ginnie
Mae,
U.S.
Government
agencies
or
instrumentalities
or
by
trusts
formed
by
private
originators
of,
or
investors
in,
mortgage
loans.
In
general,
CMOs
are
debt
obligations
of
a
legal
entity
that
are
collateralized
by
a
pool
of
residential
or
commercial
mortgage
loans
or
Mortgage
Assets.
The
payments
on
these
are
used
to
make
payments
on
the
CMOs
or
multiple
pass-through
securities.
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities
represent
direct
ownership
interests
in
the
Mortgage
Assets.
Classes
of
CMOs
include
interest
only
(“IOs”),
principal
only
(“POs”),
planned
amortization
classes
and
targeted
amortization
classes.
IOs
and
POs
are
stripped
Notes

Notes

Financial
Statements
mortgage-backed
securities
representing
interests
in
a
pool
of
mortgages,
the
cash
flow
from
which
has
been
separated
into
interest
and
principal
components.
IOs
receive
the
interest
portion
of
the
cash
flow
while
POs
receive
the
principal
portion.
IOs
and
POs
can
be
extremely
volatile
in
response
to
changes
in
interest
rates.
As
interest
rates
rise
and
fall,
the
value
of
IOs
tends
to
move
in
the
same
direction
as
interest
rates.
POs
perform
best
when
prepayments
on
the
underlying
mortgages
rise
since
this
increases
the
rate
at
which
the
principal
is
returned
and
the
yield
to
maturity
on
the
PO.
When
payments
on
mortgages
underlying
a
PO
are
slower
than
anticipated,
the
life
of
the
PO
is
lengthened
and
the
yield
to
maturity
is
reduced.
If
the
underlying
Mortgage
Assets
experience
greater
than
anticipated
prepayments
of
principal,
a
fund’s
initial
investment
in
the
IOs
may
not
fully
recoup.
Stripped
Mortgage-Backed
Securities:
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
are
typically
issued
by
the
U.S.
Government,
its
agencies
and
instrumentalities.
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
are
usually
structured
with
two
classes
that
receive
different
proportions
of
the
interest
(IOs)
and
principal
(POs)
distributions
on
a
pool
of
Mortgage
Assets.
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
may
be
privately
issued.
TBA
Commitments:
TBA
commitments
are
forward
agreements
for
the
purchase
or
sale
of
securities,
including
mortgage-backed
securities
for
a
fixed
price,
with
payment
and
delivery
on
an
agreed
upon
future
settlement
date.
The
specific
securities
to
be
delivered
are
not
identified
at
the
trade
date.
However,
delivered
securities
must
meet
specified
terms,
including
issuer,
rate
and
mortgage
terms.
When
entering
into
TBA
commitments,
a
fund
may
take
possession
of
or
deliver
the
underlying
mortgage-backed
securities
but
can
extend
the
settlement
or
roll
the
transaction.
TBA
commitments
involve
a
risk
of
loss
if
the
value
of
the
security
to
be
purchased
or
sold
declines
or
increases,
respectively,
prior
to
settlement
date,
if
there
are
expenses
or
delays
in
connection
with
the
TBA
transactions,
or
if
the
counterparty
fails
to
complete
the
transaction.
In
order
to
better
define
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
a
fund
mitigate its
counterparty
risk,
TBA
commitments
may
be
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Securities
Forward
Transaction
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSFTA”).
An
MSFTA
typically
contains,
among
other
things,
collateral
posting
terms
and
netting
provisions
in
the
event
of
default
and/or
termination
event. 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
the
collateral
currently
pledged
by
a
fund
and
the
counterparty. Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
the
obligations
of
a
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
for
TBA
commitments
or
cash
received
as
collateral
for
TBA
commitments,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
a
fund,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments. Typically,
a
fund
is
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
it
receives;
however,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
do
so.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
a
fund
are
not
fully
collateralized,
contractually
or
otherwise,
a
fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Mortgage
Dollar
Roll
Transactions
:
The
Fund
may
sell
TBA
mortgage-backed
securities
and
simultaneously
contract
to
repurchase
substantially
similar
(i.e.,
same
type,
coupon
and
maturity)
securities
on
a
specific
future
date
at
an
agreed
upon
price.
During
the
period
between
the
sale
and
repurchase,
a
fund
is
not
entitled
to
receive
interest
and
principal
payments
on
the
securities
sold.
Mortgage
dollar
roll
transactions
are
treated
as
purchases
and
sales
and
a
fund realizes
gains
and
losses
on
these
transactions.
Mortgage
dollar
rolls
involve
the
risk
that
the
market
value
of
the
securities
that
a
fund
is
required
to
purchase
may
decline
below
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
price
of
those
securities.

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
OTC.
Futures
Contracts:
Futures
contracts
are
purchased
or
sold
to
gain
exposure
to,
or
manage
exposure
to,
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
and
changes
in
the
value
of
equity
securities
(equity
risk)
or
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk)
.
Futures
contracts
are
exchange-traded agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
specific
quantity
of
an
underlying
instrument
at
a
specified
price
and
on
a
specified
date.
Depending
on
the
terms
of
a
contract,
it
is
settled
either
through
physical
delivery
of
the
underlying
instrument
on
the
settlement
date
or
by
payment
of
a
cash
amount
on
the
settlement
date.
Upon
entering
into
a
futures
contract,
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
a
contract’s
size
and
risk
profile.
The
initial
margin
deposit
must
then
be
maintained
at
an
established
level
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
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
market
value
of
the
contract
(“variation
margin”).
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and,
if
any,
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
futures
contracts
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
contract
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
notional
amount
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
The
use
of
futures
contracts
involves
the
risk
of
an
imperfect
correlation
in
the
movements
in
the
price
of
futures
contracts
and
interest
rates,
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
or
underlying
assets.
Options:
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
call
and
put
options
to
increase
or
decrease
its
exposure
to
the
risks
of
underlying
instruments,
including
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk
and/or
commodity
price
risk
and/or,
in
the
case
of
options
written,
to
generate
gains
from
options
premiums.
A
call
option
gives
the
purchaser
(holder)
of
the
option
the
right
(but
not
the
obligation)
to
buy,
and
obligates
the
seller
(writer)
to
sell
(when
the
option
is
exercised)
the
underlying
instrument
at
the
exercise
or
strike
price
at
any
time
or
at
a
specified
time
during
the
option
period.
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
any
time
or
at
a
specified
time
during
the
option
period.
Premiums
paid
on
options
purchased
and
premiums
received
on
options
written,
as
well
as
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
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

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
and
Liabilities.
Swaptions
–
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
primarily
to
preserve
a
return
or
spread
on
a
particular
investment
or
portion
of
the
Fund’s
holdings,
as
a
duration
management
technique
or
to
protect
against
an
increase
in
the
price
of
securities
it
anticipates
purchasing
at
a
later
date.
The
purchaser
and
writer
of
a
swaption
is
buying
or
granting
the
right
to
enter
into
a
previously
agreed
upon
interest
rate
or
credit
default
swap
agreement
(interest
rate
risk
and/or
credit
risk)
at
any
time
before
the
expiration
of
the
option.
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
written
option
could
result
in
the
Fund
purchasing
or
selling
a
security
when
it
otherwise
would
not,
or
at
a
price
different
from
the
current
market
value.
Swaps:
Swap
contracts
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
issuers,
markets
and
securities.
Such
contracts
are
agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
make
periodic
net
payments
on
a
specified
notional
amount
or
a
net
payment
upon
termination.
Swap
agreements
are
privately
negotiated
in
the
OTC
market
and
may
be
entered
into
as
a
bilateral
contract
(“OTC
swaps”)
or
centrally
cleared
(“centrally
cleared
swaps”).
For
OTC
swaps,
any
upfront
premiums
paid
and
any
upfront
fees
received
are
shown
as
swap
premiums
paid
and
swap
premiums
received,
respectively,
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
OTC
swaps
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
proceeds
from
(or
cost
of)
the
closing
transaction
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
and
risk
profile
of
the
particular
swap. Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
variation
margin.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
from
(paid
to)
the
counterparty
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
and
recorded
as
realized
gains
(losses)
in
the
Statement
of
Operations,
including
those
at
termination.
Credit
default
swaps
—
Credit
default
swaps
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
the
market
or
certain
sectors
of
the
market,
to
reduce
risk
exposure
to
defaults
of
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
or
to
create
exposure
to
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
to
which
a
fund
is
not
otherwise
exposed
(credit
risk).
The
Fund
may
either
buy
or
sell
(write)
credit
default
swaps
on
single-name
issuers
(corporate
or
sovereign),
a
combination
or
basket
of
single-name
issuers
or
traded
indexes.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
the
protection
buyer
pays
fixed
periodic
payments
to
the
seller
in
consideration
for
a
promise
from
the
protection
seller
to
make
a
specific
payment
should
a
negative
credit
event
take
place
with
respect
to
the
referenced
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
seller
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
deliver
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index,
or
(ii)
receive
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
As
a
seller
(writer),
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Fund
will
either
pay
the
buyer
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
take
delivery
of
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index
or
pay
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
Interest
rate
swaps
—
Interest
rate
swaps
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates
or
to
manage
duration,
the
yield
curve
or
interest
rate
(interest
rate
risk).
Interest
rate
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
one
party
pays
a
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
in
exchange
for
another
party’s
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
on
the
same
notional
amount
for
a
specified
period
of
time.
In
more
complex
interest
rate
swaps,
the
notional
principal
amount
may
decline
(or
amortize)
over
time.
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
derivative
contract
counterparties.
An
ISDA
Master
Agreement
is
a
bilateral
agreement
between the
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, the
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

WITH
AFFILIATES
Investment
Advisory:
The
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,

Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”),
the
Fund
may
participate
in
a
joint
lending
and
borrowing
facility
for
temporary
purposes
(the
“Interfund
Lending
Program”),
subject
to
compliance
with
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
Order,
and
to
the
extent
permitted
by
the
Fund’s
investment
policies
and
restrictions.
The
Fund
is
currently
permitted
to
borrow
and
lend
under
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
lending
BlackRock
fund
may
lend
in
aggregate
up
to
15%
of
its
net
assets
but
may
not
lend
more
than
5%
of
its
net
assets
to
any
one
borrowing
fund
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
borrowing
BlackRock
fund
may
not
borrow
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program
or
from
any
other
source
more
than
33
1/3%
of
its
total
assets
(or
any
lower
threshold
provided
for
by
the fund’s
investment
restrictions).
If
a
borrowing
BlackRock
fund’s
total
outstanding
borrowings
exceed
10%
of
its
total
assets,
each
of
its
outstanding
interfund
loans
will
be
subject
to
collateralization
of
at
least
102%
of
the
outstanding
principal
value
of
the
loan.
All
interfund
loans
are
for
temporary
or
emergency
purposes
and
the
interest
rate
to
be
charged
will
be
the
average
of
the
highest
current
overnight
repurchase
agreement
rate
available
to
a
lending
fund
and
the
bank
loan
rate,
as
calculated
according
to
a
formula
established
by
the
Board.
During the period
ended
October
31,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Trustees
and
Officers:
Certain
trustees
and/or
officers
of
the
Trust
are directors and/or

The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the
Trust’s
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Trustees

INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required.
The
Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
the
Fund’s
U.S.
federal
tax
returns
generally
remains
open
for
a
period
of
three
years
after
they
are
filed.
The
statutes
of
limitations
on
the
Fund’s
state
and
local
tax
returns
may
remain
open
for
an
additional
year
depending
upon
the
jurisdiction.
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the Fund
as
of
October
31,
2024,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Fund’s
financial
statements.
Management’s
analysis
is
based
on
the
tax
laws
and
judicial
and
administrative
interpretations
thereof
in
effect
as
of
date
of
these
financial
statements,
all
of
which
are
subject
to
change,
possibly
with
retroactive
effect
which
may
impact
the
Fund's
NAV.
As
of
April
30,
2024, the Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss
carryforwards
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains of
$30,515,745.
As
of
October
31,
2024, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as

BANK
BORROWINGS
The
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
(“Participating
Funds”), is
party
to
a
364-day,
$2.40
billion
credit
agreement
with
a
group
of
lenders.
Under
this
agreement,
the
Fund
may
borrow
to
fund
shareholder
redemptions.
Excluding
commitments
designated
for
certain
individual
funds,
the
Participating
Funds,
including
the
Fund,
can
borrow
up
to
an
aggregate
commitment
amount
of
$1.75
billion
at
any
time
outstanding,
subject
to
asset
coverage
and
other
limitations
as
specified
in
the
agreement.
The
credit
agreement
has
the
following
terms:
a
fee
of
0.10%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
interest
at
a
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
Overnight
Bank
Funding
Rate
(“OBFR”)
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.80%
per
annum,
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
rate
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
in
effect
from
time
to
time
plus
0.80%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed
or
(c)
the
sum
of
(x)
Daily
Simple
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“SOFR”)
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.10%
and
(y)
0.80%
per
annum. The
agreement
expires
in
April
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
These
fees
were
allocated
among
such
funds
based
upon
portions
of
the
aggregate
commitment
available
to
them
and
relative
net
assets
of
Participating
Funds.
During
the
six
months ended
October
31,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.
10.
PRINCIPAL
RISKS
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
the
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
among
others,
fluctuations
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
an
issuer
to
meet
all
of
its
obligations.
The
value
of
securities
or
other
instruments
may
also
be
affected
by
various
factors,
including,
without
limitation:
(i)
the
general
economy;
(ii)
the
overall
market
as
well
as
local,
regional
or
global
political
and/or
social
instability;
(iii)
regulation,
taxation
or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
and
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and its
investments.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
the
Fund
is
subject.
Market Risk:
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
prepayment
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
reinvest
in
lower
yielding
securities. The
Fund
may
also
be
exposed
to
reinvestment
risk,
which
is
the
risk
that
income
from
the
Fund’s
portfolio
will
decline
if
the Fund
invests
the
proceeds
from
matured,
traded
or
called
fixed-income
securities
at
market
interest
rates
that
are
below
the
Fund
portfolio’s
current
earnings
rate.
Valuation
Risk:
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.

BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
and
Additional
Information
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.
For
OTC
options
purchased,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
in
the
amount
of
the
premiums
paid
plus
the
positive
change
in
market
values
net
of
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund
should
the
counterparty
fail
to
perform
under
the
contracts.
Options
written
by
the
Fund
do
not
typically
give
rise
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
as
options
written
generally
obligate
the
Fund,
and
not
the
counterparty,
to
perform.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk
with
respect
to
options
written
to
the
extent
the
Fund
deposits
collateral
with
its
counterparty
to
a
written
option.
With
exchange-traded
futures
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 exchange-traded
futures
and
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.
Geographic/Asset
Class
Risk:
A
diversified
portfolio,
where
this
is appropriate
and
consistent
with
a
fund’s
objectives,
minimizes
the
risk
that
a
price
change
of
a
particular
investment
will
have
a
material
impact
on
the
NAV
of
a
fund.
The
investment
concentrations
within
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
during
a
period
of
historically
low
interest
rates. The
Federal
Reserve
has
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
as
part
of
its
efforts
to
address
inflation.
Changing
interest
rates
may
have
unpredictable
effects
on
markets,
may
result
in
heightened
market
volatility,
and
could
negatively
impact
the
Fund’s
performance.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
the
United
States.
A
decrease
in
imports
or
exports,
changes
in
trade
regulations,
inflation
and/or
an
economic
recession
in
the
United
States
may
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
securities
listed
on
U.S.
exchanges.
Proposed
and
adopted
policy
and
legislative
changes
in
the
United
States
may
also
have
a
significant
effect
on
U.S.
markets
generally,
as
well
as
on
the
value
of
certain
securities.
Governmental
agencies
project
that
the
United
States
will
continue
to
maintain
elevated
public
debt
levels
for
the
foreseeable
future
which
may
constrain
future
economic
growth.
Circumstances
could
arise
that
could
prevent
the
timely
payment
of
interest
or
principal
on
U.S.
government
debt,
such
as
reaching
the
legislative
“debt
ceiling.”
Such
non-payment
would
result
in
substantial
negative
consequences
for
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
global
financial
system.
If
U.S.
relations
with
certain
countries
deteriorate,
it
could
adversely
affect
issuers
that
rely
on
the
United
States
for
trade.
The
United
States
has
also
experienced
increased
internal
unrest
and
discord.
If
these
trends
were
to
continue,
they
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
issuers
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
securities
backed
by
commercial
or
residential
mortgage
loans
or
in
issuers
that
hold
mortgage
and
other
asset-backed
securities.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
a
greater
risk
of
prepayment
or
payment
extension
by
securities
issuers. Changes
in
economic
conditions,
including
delinquencies
and/or
defaults
on
assets
underlying
these
securities,
can
affect
the
value,
income
and/or
liquidity
of
such
positions.
Investment
percentages
in
these
securities
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Significant
Shareholder
Redemption
Risk:
Certain
shareholders
may
own
or
manage
a
substantial
amount
of
fund
shares
and/or
hold
their
fund
investments
for
a
limited
period
of
time.
Large
redemptions
of
fund
shares
by
these
shareholders
may
force
a
fund
to
sell
portfolio
securities,
which
may
negatively
impact
the
fund’s
NAV,
increase
the
fund’s
brokerage
costs,
and/or
accelerate
the
realization
of
taxable
income/gains
and
cause
the
fund
to
make
additional
taxable
distributions
to
shareholders.

Semi-Annual

and
Additional
Information
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board,”
the
members
of
which
are
referred
to
as
“Board
Members”)
of
Managed
Account
Series
II
(the
“Trust”)
met
on
May
3,
2024
(the
“May
Meeting”)
and
June
6-7,
2024
(the
“June
Meeting”)
to
consider
the
approval
to
continue
the
investment
advisory
agreement
(the
“Advisory
Agreement”
or
the
“Agreement”)
between
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock
U.S.
Mortgage
Portfolio
(the
“Fund”),
and
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”
or
“BlackRock”),
the
Fund’s
investment
advisor.
The
Approval
Process
Consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”),
the
Board
considers
the
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Agreement
for
the
Fund
on
an
annual
basis.
The
Board
members
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Trust,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
are
considered
independent
Board
members
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”).
The
Board’s
consideration
entailed
a
year-long
deliberative
process
during
which
the
Board
and
its
committees
assessed
BlackRock’s
various
services
to
the
Fund,
including
through
the
review
of
written
materials
and
oral
presentations,
and
the
review
of
additional
information
provided
in
response
to
requests
from
the
Independent
Board
Members.
The
Board
had
four
quarterly
meetings
per
year,
each
of
which
extended
over
a
two-day
period,
as
well
as
additional
ad
hoc
meetings
and
executive
sessions
throughout
the
year,
as
needed.
The
committees
of
the
Board
similarly
met
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
also
had
an
additional
one-day
meeting
to
consider
specific
information
regarding
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement.
In
considering
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement,
the
Board
assessed,
among
other
things,
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
personnel
and
affiliates,
including
(as
applicable):
investment
management
services;
accounting
oversight;
administrative
and
shareholder
services;
oversight
of
the
Fund’s
service
providers;
risk
management
and
oversight;
and
legal,
regulatory
and
compliance
services.
Throughout
the
year,
including
during
the
contract
renewal
process,
the
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel,
and
met
with
independent
legal
counsel
in
various
executive
sessions
outside
of
the
presence
of
BlackRock’s
management.
During
the
year,
the
Board,
acting
directly
and
through
its
committees,
considered
information
that
was
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement,
including
the
services
and
support
provided
by
BlackRock
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
BlackRock
also
furnished
additional
information
to
the
Board
in
response
to
specific
questions
from
the
Board.
Among
the
matters
the
Board
considered
were:

one-year,

(f)
the

and
other

sub-advised
mutual
fund,
separately

collective
investment

and
institutional
separate

product
channels,
as
applicable,
and
the
similarities
and
differences
between
these
products
and
the
services
provided
as
compared
to
the
Fund;
(l)
BlackRock’s
compensation
methodology
for
its
investment
professionals
and
the
incentives
and
accountability
it
creates,
along
with
investment
professionals’
investments
in
the
fund(s)
they
manage;
and
(m)
periodic
updates
on
BlackRock’s
business.
Prior
to
and
in
preparation
for
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement.
The
Independent
Board
Members
continuously
engaged
in
a
process
with
their
independent
legal
counsel
and
BlackRock
to
review
the
nature
and
scope
of
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
to
better
assist
its
deliberations.
The
materials
provided
in
connection
with
the
May
Meeting
included,
among
other

Fund’s
shares;
and
(i)
various
additional
information
requested
by
the
Board
as
appropriate
regarding
BlackRock’s
and
the
Fund’s
operations.
At
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relating
to
its
consideration
of
the
Agreement
and
the
Independent
Board
Members
presented
BlackRock
with
questions
and
requests
for
additional
information.
BlackRock
responded
to
these
questions
and
requests
with
additional
written
information
in
advance
of
the
June
Meeting,
and
such
responses
were
reviewed
by
the
Board
Members.
At
the
June
Meeting,
the
Board
concluded
its
assessment
of,
among
other
things:
(a)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
BlackRock;

the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
to
other
metrics,
as
applicable;
(c)
the
advisory
fee
and
the

services
and
estimated
profits
realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationship
with
the
Fund;
(d)
the
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
compared
to
its
Expense

(e)
the
existence
and
sharing
of
potential
economies
of
scale;
(f)
any
fall-out
benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
as
a
result
of
BlackRock’s
relationship
with
the
Fund;
and
(g)
other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Board
Members.
The
Board
also
considered
other
matters
it
deemed
important
to
the
approval
process,
such
as
other
payments
made
to
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
relating
to
securities
lending
and
cash
management,
and
BlackRock’s
services
related
to
the
valuation
and
pricing
of
Fund
portfolio
holdings.
The
Board
noted
the
willingness
of
BlackRock’s
personnel
to
engage
in
open,
candid
discussions
with
the
Board.
The
Board
evaluated
the
information
available
to
it
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis.
The
following
paragraphs
provide
more
information
about
some
of
the
primary
factors
that
were
relevant
to
the
Board’s
decision.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information,
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
items
and
factors
considered.

Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
the
Services
Provided
by
BlackRock
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
BlackRock,
including
the
investment
advisory
services,
and
the
resulting
performance
of
the
Fund.
Throughout
the
year,
the
Board
compared
Fund
performance
to
the
performance
of
a
comparable
group
of
mutual
funds,
relevant
benchmarks,
and
performance
metrics,
as
applicable.
The
Board
met
with
BlackRock’s
senior
management
personnel
responsible
for
investment
activities,
including
the
senior
investment
officers.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
materials
provided
by
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
discussing
the
Fund’s
performance,
investment
strategies
and
outlook.
The
Board
considered,
among
other
factors,
with
respect
to
BlackRock:
the
experience
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team;
research
capabilities;
investments
by
portfolio
managers
in
the
funds
they
manage;
portfolio
trading
capabilities;
use
of
technology;
commitment
to
compliance;
credit
analysis
capabilities;
risk
analysis
and
oversight
capabilities;
and
the
approach
to
training
and
retaining
portfolio
managers
and
other
research,
advisory
and
management
personnel.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
risk
management
program,
including
the
continued
efforts
of
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
address
cybersecurity
risks
and
the
role
of
BlackRock’s
Risk
&
Quantitative
Analysis
Group.
The
Board
engaged
in
a
review
of
BlackRock’s
compensation
structure
with
respect
to
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
talent
and
create
performance
incentives.
In
addition
to
investment
advisory
services,
the
Board
considered
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
administrative
and
other
non-investment
advisory
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Fund
with
certain
administrative,
shareholder
and
other
services
(in
addition
to
any
such
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
third
parties)
and
officers
and
other
personnel
as
are
necessary
for
the
operations
of
the
Fund.
In
particular,
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative
services
including,
among
others:
(i)
responsibility
for
disclosure
documents,
such
as
the
prospectus,
the
summary
prospectus
(as
applicable),
the
statement
of
additional
information
and
periodic
shareholder
reports;
(ii)
oversight
of
daily
accounting
and
pricing;
(iii)
responsibility
for
periodic
filings
with
regulators;
(iv)
overseeing
and
coordinating
the
activities
of
third-party
service
providers
including,
among
others,
the
Fund’s
custodian,
fund
accountant,
transfer
agent,
and
auditor;
(v)
organizing
Board
meetings
and
preparing
the
materials
for
such
Board
meetings;
(vi)
providing
legal
and
compliance
support;
(vii)
furnishing
analytical
and
other
support
to
assist
the
Board
in
its
consideration
of
strategic
issues
such
as
the
merger,
consolidation
or
repurposing
of
certain
open-end
funds;
and
(viii)
performing
or
managing
administrative
functions
necessary
for
the
operation
of
the
Fund,
such
as
tax
reporting,
expense
management,
fulfilling
regulatory
filing
requirements,
overseeing
the
Fund’s
distribution
partners,
and
shareholder
call
center
and
other
services.
The
Board
reviewed
the
structure
and
duties
of
BlackRock’s
fund
administration,
shareholder
services,
and
legal
and
compliance
departments
and
considered
BlackRock’s
policies
and
procedures
for
assuring
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
regulations.
The
Board
considered
the
operation
of
BlackRock’s
business
continuity
plans.
B.
The
Investment
Performance
of
the
Fund
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
history
of
the
Fund
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
May
Meeting.
In
preparation
for
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
was
provided
with
reports
independently
prepared
by
Broadridge,
which
included
an
analysis
of
the
Fund’s
performance
as
of
December
31,
2023,
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Broadridge
ranks
funds
in
quartiles,
ranging
from
first
to
fourth,
where
first
is
the
most
desirable
quartile
position
and
fourth
is
the
least
desirable.
In
connection
with
its
review,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
the
respective
Morningstar
Category
(“Morningstar
Category”).
The
Board
and
its
Performance
Oversight
Committee
regularly
review
and
meet
with
Fund
management
to
discuss
the
performance
of
the
Fund
throughout
the
year.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
The
Board
also
noted
that
while
it
found
the
data
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
the
limitations
of
such
data,
including
in
particular,
that
notable
differences
may
exist
between
a
fund
and
its
Performance
Peers
(for
example,
the
investment
objectives
and
strategies).
Further,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
performance
data
reflects
a
snapshot
of
a
period
as
of
a
particular
date
and
that
selecting
a
different
performance
period
could
produce
significantly
different
results.
The
Board
also
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance,
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
have
the
ability
to
disproportionately
affect
long-term
performance.
The
Board
noted
that
for
each
of
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
reported,
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
against
its
Morningstar
Category.
The
Board
noted
that
BlackRock
believes
that
the
Morningstar
Category
is
an
appropriate
performance
metric
for
the
Fund,
and
that
BlackRock
has
explained
its
rationale
for
this
belief
to
the
Board.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
reviewed
the
Fund’s
underperformance
relative
to
its
Morningstar
Category
during
the
applicable
periods.
C.
Consideration
of
the
Advisory/Management
Fees
and
the
Estimated
Cost
of
the
Services
and
Estimated
Profits
Realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
Affiliates
from
their
Relationship
with
the
Fund
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
compared
with
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
contractual
management
fee
rate
represents
a
combination
of
the
advisory
fee
and
any
administrative
fees,
before
taking
into
account
any
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers.
The
Board
also
compared
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio,
as
well
as
its
actual
management
fee
rate,
to
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
total
expense
ratio
represents
a
fund’s
total
net
operating
expenses,
including
any
12b-1
or
non-12b-1
service
fees.
The
total
expense
ratio
gives
effect
to
any
expense
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers,
and
the
actual
management
fee
rate
gives
effect
to
any
management
fee
reimbursements
or
waivers.
The
Board
considered
that
the
fee
and
expense
information
in
the
Broadridge
report
for
the
Fund
reflected
information
for
a
specific
period
and
that
historical
asset
levels
and
expenses
may
differ
from
current
levels,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
considered
the
services
provided
and
the
fees
charged
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
other
types
of
clients
with
similar
investment
mandates,
as
applicable,
including
institutional
accounts
and
sub-advised
mutual
funds
(including
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
third
parties).
The
Board
received
and
reviewed
statements
relating
to
BlackRock’s
financial
condition.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
profitability
methodology
and
was
also
provided
with
an
estimated
profitability
analysis
that
detailed
the
revenues
earned
and
the
expenses
incurred
by
BlackRock
for
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
the
Fund
and
other
funds
the
Board
currently
oversees
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2023
compared
to
available
aggregate
estimated
profitability
data
provided
for
the
prior
two
years.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
certain
other
U.S.
fund
complexes
managed
by
the
Manager
and/or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
assumptions
and
methodology
of
allocating
expenses
in
the
estimated
profitability
analysis,
noting
the
inherent
limitations
in
allocating
costs
among
various
advisory
products.
The
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors
Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
(continued)
2024
BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
and
Additional
Information
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
by
the
Manager,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
precision
of
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
The
Board
thus
recognized
that
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
the
individual
fund
level
is
difficult.
The
Board
noted
that,
in
general,
individual
fund
or
product
line
profitability
of
other
advisors
is
not
publicly
available.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
overall
operating
margin,
in
general,
compared
to
that
of
certain
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
The
Board
considered
the
differences
between
BlackRock
and
these
other
firms,
including
the
contribution
of
technology
at
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
expense
management,
and
the
relative
product
mix.
The
Board
considered
whether
BlackRock
has
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality
investment
management
personnel
to
perform
its
obligations
under
the
Agreement
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
high
quality
of
services
that
is
expected
by
the
Board.
The
Board
further
considered
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
BlackRock’s
commitment
of
time
and
resources,
assumption
of
risk,
and
liability
profile
in
servicing
the
Fund,
including
in
contrast
to
what
is
required
of
BlackRock
with
respect
to
other
products
with
similar
investment
mandates
across
the
open-end
fund,
ETF,
closed-end
fund,
sub-advised
mutual
fund,
separately
managed
account,
collective
investment
trust,
and
institutional
separate
account
product
channels,
as
applicable.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
each
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund
has
an
advisory
fee
arrangement
that
includes
breakpoints
that
adjust
the
fee
rate
downward
as
the
size
of
the
Fund
increases
above
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
additionally
noted
that
the
breakpoints
can,
conversely,
adjust
the
advisory
fee
rate
upward
as
the
size
of
the
Fund
decreases
below
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
further
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
the
Fund’s
total
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
D.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
the
extent
to
which
any
economies
of
scale
might
benefit
the
Fund
in
a
variety
of
ways
as
the
assets
of
the
Fund
increase.
The
Board
considered
multiple
factors,
including
the
advisory
fee
rate
and
breakpoints,
unitary
fee
structure,
fee
waivers,
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable.
The
Board
considered
the
Fund’s
asset
levels
and
whether
the
current
fee
schedule
was
appropriate.
E.
Other
Factors
Deemed
Relevant
by
the
Board
Members
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
also
took
into
account
other
ancillary
or
“fall-out”
benefits
that
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
may
derive
from
BlackRock’s
respective
relationships
with
the
Fund,
both
tangible
and
intangible,
such
as
BlackRock’s
ability
to
leverage
its
investment
professionals
who
manage
other
portfolios
and
its
risk
management
personnel,
an
increase
in
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
advisory
community,
and
the
engagement
of
BlackRock’s
affiliates
as
service
providers
to
the
Fund,
including
for
administrative,
distribution,
securities
lending,
and
cash
management
services.
With
respect
to
securities
lending,
during
the
year
the
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
independent
third-party
consultants
related
to
the
performance
of
each
BlackRock
affiliate
as
securities
lending
agent.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
operations
and
its
efforts
to
expand
the
scale
of,
and
improve
the
quality
of,
its
operations.
The
Board
also
noted
that,
subject
to
applicable
law,
BlackRock
may
use
and
benefit
from
third-party
research
obtained
by
soft
dollars
generated
by
certain
registered
fund
transactions
to
assist
in
managing
all
or
a
number
of
its
other
client
accounts.
In
connection
with
its
consideration
of
the
Agreement,
the
Board
also
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
brokerage
and
soft
dollar
practices.
The
Board
received
reports
from
BlackRock
which
included
information
on
brokerage
commissions
and
trade
execution
practices
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
noted
the
competitive
nature
of
the
open-end
fund
marketplace,
and
that
shareholders
are
able
to
redeem
their
Fund
shares
if
they
believe
that
the
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
are
too
high
or
if
they
are
dissatisfied
with
the
performance
of
the
Fund.
Conclusion
At
the
June
Meeting,
in
a
continuation
of
the
discussions
that
occurred
during
the
May
Meeting,
and
as
a
culmination
of
the
Board’s
year-long
deliberative
process,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
between
the
Manager
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
for
a
one-year
term
ending
June
30,
2025.
Based
upon
its
evaluation
of
all
of
the
aforementioned
factors
in
their
totality,
as
well
as
other
information,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
was
satisfied
that
the
terms
of
the
Agreement
were
fair
and
reasonable
and
in
the
best
interest
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
In
arriving
at
its
decision
to
approve
the
Agreement,
the
Board
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
or
group
of
factors
as
all-important
or
controlling,
but
considered
all
factors
together,
and
different
Board
Members
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
factors
considered.
The
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel
throughout
the
deliberative
process.
