Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 | BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index. |
• | Relative to the benchmark index, security selection within the corporate and transportation sectors detracted from Fund performance, as did an underweight in tobacco bonds as the sector generated superior returns for the period. |
• | The Fund benefited from its more seasoned short-dated holdings as the slope of the yield curve remained positive during the period. (A bond’s yield decreases as it approaches maturity. As yields fall, prices rise.) Sector allocation also contributed positively to relative results. The Fund’s concentrations in corporate, transportation and health bonds proved advantageous as these sectors outperformed the overall municipal market. The Fund’s yield curve positioning was another positive factor. An emphasis on longer-dated bonds was beneficial as the yield curve flattened over the period (i.e., prices on bonds with longer maturities rose more than those with intermediate maturities). A modestly long duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) helped performance as interest rates declined over the period. |
• | During the six-month period, portfolio activity remained focused on maintaining a fully invested stance in an effort to capitalize on robust market conditions. Major themes included increased exposure to the tobacco sector and continued participation in the new issue market, where better value can often be found in contrast to more seasoned issues. These new purchases were typically within the transportation, health and corporate sectors, although additional purchases involved student housing and tax-increment bonds. |
• | As of period end, the Fund continued to maintain its large allocations to the transportation, health and corporate sectors. The Fund held a long duration stance relative to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index and a yield curve-flattening bias. As such, the Fund was positioned to benefit from further flattening of the municipal yield curve and a more modest compression in credit spreads. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 | BlackRock National Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective |
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund’s BlackRock, Institutional, Service and Investor A Shares outperformed the benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, while Investor B and Investor B1 Shares performed in line with the benchmark, and Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underperformed the benchmark index. |
• | The Fund’s slightly longer duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) as compared to the benchmark index had a positive impact on performance as rates generally declined during the period. The Fund’s holdings were more concentrated on the long end of the yield curve, which benefited performance as the yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term rates declined more than rates on shorter-dated bonds). Overweights to health, education and transportation enhanced results as those sectors outperformed the broader market during the period. The Fund’s lower-quality holdings boosted returns as credit spreads narrowed. The Fund maintained an above-industry-average coupon structure in order to maximize its income accrual, which contributed positively to total return. These higher-coupon holdings also benefited from strong demand during the period as investors sought yield in the low interest rate environment. Exposure to tender option bonds was another contributor to the Fund’s yield advantage. |
• | Detracting from performance was the Fund’s lack of exposure to the tobacco sector, which rallied significantly during the period. Given a lack of attractive yield opportunities in the market, the Fund continued to hold cash and cash equivalents that had been reserved for defensive purposes after a period of significant market volatility and mutual fund outflows in 2011. As interest rates on cash investments remained near zero, the Fund’s cash holdings hindered relative performance while longer assets performed better in the declining rate environment. |
• | As municipal bond valuations generally improved during the six-month period, the Fund increased its credit quality profile by taking advantage of tighter credit quality spreads to sell some of the Fund’s lower-rated holdings. As the Fund took profits on certain positions where performance targets had been reached, the Fund’s duration moved lower. New purchases during the period were concentrated in the primary market where more generous (higher) coupon rates could be structured. The Fund’s largest exposures to single names were concentrated in the highest quality structures that were suitable for the Fund. These holdings provided better relative price appreciation and increased the Fund’s liquidity. Overall, the Fund maintained its focus on maximizing income accrual using a high-quality asset mix, while managing portfolio volatility. |
• | As of period end, the Fund continued to maintain a position in tender option bonds to boost current yield while the yield curve remained steep and short-term borrowing rates remained low. The Fund also continued to maintain a bias toward higher quality securities as well as a high average coupon rate, which stood at 5.80% at period end. Cash reserves remained elevated due to the limited availability of attractive yield opportunities. The Fund ended the period with a neutral duration posture relative to the S&P® Municipal Bond Index. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 | BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. |
• | The Fund’s shorter average portfolio duration (lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) relative to the benchmark index detracted from performance as interest rates generally declined during the period. Also hindering returns was the Fund’s positioning within local bonds due to allocation decisions and security selection driven by the Fund’s high quality bias. Higher quality bonds underperformed lower quality tiers in the fourth quarter of 2012. |
• | Conversely, yield curve positioning and sector allocation contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Overweights to housing and tobacco were particularly beneficial as these sectors performed well during the period. Security selection within utilities also had a positive impact. |
• | Demand for short-duration municipal bonds was significant during the six-month period as near-zero rates on cash instruments compelled short-term investors to move further out on the yield curve. Among securities with maturities inside of four years, yields declined most dramatically in the four-year area of that range. Because the Fund is limited by its prospectus to a maximum dollar weighted maturity of no more than two years and, therefore, is limited in its ability to benefit from yield curve flattening in a declining interest rate environment, portfolio activity was focused on credit selection. The Fund sought investments in relatively higher-yielding credit sectors such as health, housing and tax-exempt corporate bonds as well as tax-backed municipal securities. |
• | The Fund was fully invested at period end and maintained a portfolio duration that was modestly short relative to the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2012 | BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index. |
• | The Fund’s longer duration (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) as compared to the benchmark index had a positive impact on performance as rates generally declined during the period. The Fund’s holdings were more concentrated on the long end of the yield curve, which benefited performance as the yield curve flattened (i.e., longer-term rates declined more than rates on shorter-dated bonds). Overweights to health and education enhanced results as those sectors outperformed the broader market during the period. The Fund’s lower-quality holdings also boosted returns as credit spreads narrowed. |
• | Detracting from performance was the Fund’s exposure, although small, to Puerto Rico-related credits, which underperformed the municipal market during the period. Other exposures having a negative impact were tax-backed credits (the Fund’s largest credit exposure) and a small allocation to pre-refunded bonds as these sectors were among the weaker performers for the period. |
• | The Fund maintained a long duration stance during the six-month period. There were no significant structural changes to the portfolio. Sales during the period were mostly relative value trades of liquid and lower-yielding bonds. The Fund continued to participate in the new issue market, seeking opportunities to add income or to maintain or broaden diversification as New York’s market tends to be dominated by a few large issuers. Because new issuance was relatively limited while demand for these bonds was usually high, the amounts allocated to the Fund tended to be modest and thus the Fund regularly supplemented these purchases with additions to existing credits that are more accessible. |
• | The Fund ended the period with a long duration bias as compared to the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index. |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
• | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||||
• | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | ||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

(a) | US government securities, held in escrow, are used to pay interest on this security, as well as to retire the bond in full at the date indicated, typically at a premium to par. | |||||
(b) | Issuer filed for bankruptcy and/or is in default of principal and/or interest payments. | |||||
(c) | Non-income producing security. | |||||
(d) | Represents a zero-coupon bond. Rate shown reflects the current yield as of report date. | |||||
(e) | Security is collateralized by Municipal or US Treasury obligations. | |||||
(f) | Securities represent bonds transferred to a TOB in exchange for which the Fund acquired residual interest certificates. These securities serve as collateral in a financing transaction. | |||||
(g) | All or a portion of security is subject to a recourse agreement, which may require the Fund to pay the Liquidity Provider in the event there is a shortfall between the TOB Trust Certificates and proceeds received from the sale of the security contributed to the TOB trust. In the case of a shortfall, the aggregate maximum potential amount the Fund could ultimately be required to pay under the agreements is $790,000. | |||||
(h) | Represents the current yield as of report date. | |||||
(i) | Investments in issuers considered to be an affiliate of the Fund during the period ended December 31, 2012, for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, were as follows: |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
• | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||||
• | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | ||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
• | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||||
• | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | ||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | ||||||

• | For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. | |||||
• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
• | Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||||
• | Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | ||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Financial Statements . | ||||||

valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

2 | The portion of the assets of a Fund to which the rate of each breakpoint level applies will be determined on a “uniform percentage” basis. The uniform percentage applicable to a breakpoint level is determined by dividing the amount of the aggregate average daily net assets of the two combined Funds that falls within that breakpoint level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the two combined Funds. The amount of the fee for a Fund at each breakpoint level is determined by multiplying the average daily net assets of that Fund by the uniform percentage applicable to that breakpoint level and multiplying the product by the advisory fee rate. |
