Fund Summary as of December 31, 2013 | BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund underperformed the 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. |
• | During the period, fixed income markets broadly declined in a rising interest rate environment. (Bond prices fall as interest rates rise.) However, relative to the benchmark index, the Fund benefited from maintaining only minimal exposure to Puerto Rico debt, where losses were particularly significant. (The Fund held no exposure at period end.) Additional income generated as a result of the Fund’s leverage also helped performance. An underweight to tobacco bonds proved beneficial as the sector reversed course and generated poor performance for the period. |
• | Detracting from relative performance was the Fund’s overweight to higher-rated bonds, which underperformed the broader market during the period. Additionally, the Fund’s long duration stance hurt results in the rising rate environment, as did a yield curve bias that anticipated better performance in bonds with long maturities. Exposure to limited tax obligations of the city of Detroit also had a negative impact on returns. |
• | During the six-month period, portfolio activity was dominated by sales in order to fund escalating shareholder redemptions amid the industry-wide trend of municipal bond mutual fund outflows. The Fund focused on maintaining its existing credit profile, sector weightings and leverage exposure. The Fund’s more recent transactions reflect an emphasis on taking profits on investments in outperforming sectors and redeploying the proceeds in areas offering superior return potential such as utilities, education, tobacco and development districts. |
• | As of period end, the Fund continued to maintain a high quality bias while its sector allocations were less concentrated due to the increased exposure in utilities, tobacco and education. In addition, the Fund continued to utilize U.S. Treasury futures to reduce duration relative to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2013 | BlackRock National Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s Institutional, Service, Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Investor C1 Shares underperformed the benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, while the BlackRock Shares performed in line with the benchmark. |
• | During the period, fixed income markets broadly declined in a rising interest rate environment. (Bond prices fall as interest rates rise.) However, the Fund outperformed its benchmark index due mainly to the Fund’s high level of income accrual. Fund holdings concentrated on the long end of the yield curve proved beneficial given the steepness of the yield curve during the period. (Longer-maturity issues provided larger yields.) Also adding to returns was the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors where there was some degree of tightening in credit quality spreads. The absence of exposure to Detroit, the tobacco sector and Puerto Rico credits was advantageous for relative performance as spreads widened materially in these segments. Holding tender option bonds contributed to the Fund’s yield advantage and served as a high-quality alternative to lower-rated bonds. The Fund’s holdings of floating rate notes were beneficial as interest rates increased during the period. |
• | Detracting from performance relative to the benchmark index was the Fund’s exposure to the health care sector where spreads widened during the period. Cash reserves held for the purpose of providing liquidity hindered results given near-zero interest rates on cash versus investments that contribute more significantly to income accrual. |
• | As municipal bond valuations continued to improve during the 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 that had reached their performance potential. New purchases were concentrated in the primary market where higher coupon rates could be structured. The Fund’s largest exposures to single names were concentrated in the highest quality structures suitable to be held in tender option bond trusts. These holdings provided better relative price appreciation given strong demand from investors looking to create leveraged products, while also providing good liquidity in the Fund. Also during the period, the Fund added exposure to floating rate notes as they offer higher yields than cash, low duration and the potential for price appreciation should short-term interest rates rise in the future. |
• | The Fund ended the period with a short duration posture relative to the S&P® Municipal Bond Index. The Fund maintained a bias toward high-quality securities and continued to focus on a high income accrual, with an average coupon rate at 5.45% as of period end. This level of accrual contributes to total return as high-coupon structures tend to perform well in a rising interest rate environment. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2013 | BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s BlackRock, Institutional, Investor A and Investor A1 Shares outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, while Investor C Shares performed in line with the primary benchmark. The Fund underperformed 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 underperformance relative to the benchmark index was attributable to yield curve positioning during the period. |
• | Conversely, security selection in the state and tax-backed sector contributed positively to performance, especially due to the Fund’s high concentration in California state general obligation bonds. Duration management (sensitivity to interest rate movements) also had a positive impact on results for the period. Exposure to transportation added to returns, as did security selection within the sector. Allocations to the corporate and housing sectors were additional sources of positive returns. |
• | In the earlier part of the six-month period, the Fund maintained a cautious stance amid elevated volatility and constrained liquidity in the municipal market as municipal yields followed U.S. Treasury yields higher in the third quarter due to expectations of less accommodative monetary policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, at the onset of the fourth quarter, interest rates appeared to be more stable and the Fund began to invest more heavily in the market, maximizing duration and drawing down cash reserves. |
• | As of period end, the Fund held a minimal level of cash reserves and its portfolio of holdings had a shorter average duration relative to the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. |

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2013 | BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund |
Investment Objective
Portfolio Management Commentary
• | For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund underperformed 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 bias (higher sensitivity to interest rate movements) detracted from performance relative to the benchmark index as longer duration positions were the worst performers in the rising interest rate environment. Also having a negative impact on returns was the Fund’s exposure to the health care sector where credit spreads generally widened during the period. |
• | The Fund’s exposure to Puerto Rico debt also detracted from results as credit spreads on Puerto Rico bonds widened materially during the period due to investors’ lack of confidence and a weak local economy. However, it is important to note that the Fund held only a small exposure to non-escrowed Puerto Rico securities and these positions were eliminated during the period. Therefore, the impact of the deterioration in Puerto Rico bond prices on Fund performance was minimal. |
• | The Fund benefited mostly from the accrual of income generated from coupon payments on its portfolio holdings. The Fund was more heavily weighted in longer-dated bonds, which helped generate additional income as the steepness of the yield curve compensated investors who extended further out on the curve with higher yields. Exposure to higher-yielding holdings, including lower-quality credits and out-of-favor structures, allowed the Fund to capture additional yield. The Fund’s limited use of tender option bonds also contributed to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s greater exposure to education bonds benefited performance as the sector was the second-best performer for the period (after pre-refunded/escrowed-to-maturity bonds). In addition, the Fund utilized 10-year US Treasury futures contracts to hedge against interest rate volatility. In the aggregate, these positions were modest contributors to performance for the period. |
• | During the six-month period, portfolio activity centered around two themes: lessening volatility and relative-value trading. In an overall environment of heightened volatility and investor fears of higher interest rates, the Fund capitalized on opportunities presented by periods of stronger demand to reduce the portfolio’s exposure to long-duration and out-of-favor coupon structures. The Fund used the increased New Issue supply of New York municipal paper to improve portfolio diversification and increase credit quality, as well as to book bonds at higher yields. Confounding these efforts, however, was the industry-wide trend of municipal bond mutual fund outflows, which forced the Fund to retain a higher-than-average cash balance during the period. In addition to selling long-duration bonds, the Fund accommodated redemptions through sales of lower-book yielding bonds, which also enabled to the Fund to further capitalize on the higher yields offered in the New Issue market. Additionally, over the course of the period, the Fund sold the last of its Puerto Rico holdings. |
• | The Fund ended the period with a neutral-to-long duration bias as compared to the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index and higher-than-usual cash reserves. |

(m) | Represents the current yield as of report date. | |||

• | Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. 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 or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||
• | 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 and derivative 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. | ||||
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 and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument 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, please refer to Note 2 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 or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||
• | 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 fair value hierarchy classification 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, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | ||||
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2013: |

(a) | Variable rate security. Rate shown is as of report date. | |||
(b) | Security is collateralized by municipal or US Treasury obligations. | |||
(c) | 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. | |||
(d) | Variable rate security. Rate shown is as of report date and maturity shown is the date the principal owed can be recovered through demand. | |||
(e) | Investments in issuers considered to be an affiliate of the Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2013, for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, were as follows: |
Affiliate | | Shares Held at June 30, 2013 | | Net Activity | | Shares Held at December 31, 2013 | | Income | ||||||||||
FFI Institutional Tax-Exempt Fund | 3,026,240 | (512,379) | 2,513,861 | $3,255 |
(f) | Represents the current yield as of report date. | |||
• | 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 or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||
• | 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 fair value hierarchy classification 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, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Schedule of Investments (concluded) | BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund |
• | 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 or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access | |||
• | Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) | |||
• | 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 fair value hierarchy classification 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, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. | ||||
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of December 31, 2013: |

1 | 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. |
