The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
Investment performance in the 12 months ended June 30, 2019 was a tale of two markets. The first half of the reporting period was characterized by restrictive monetary policy, deteriorating economic growth, equity market volatility, and rising fear of an imminent recession. During the second half of the reporting period, stocks and bonds rebounded sharply, as restrained inflation and weak economic growth led the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to stop raising interest rates, which led to broad-based optimism that stimulative monetary policy could help forestall a recession.
After the dust settled, the U.S. equity and bond markets posted mixed returns while weathering significant volatility. Less volatile U.S. large cap equities and U.S. bonds advanced, while equities at the high end of the risk spectrum — emerging markets, international developed, and U.S. small cap — posted relatively flat returns.
Fixed-income securities delivered modest positive returns with relatively low volatility. Short-term U.S. Treasury yields rose, while longer-term yields declined. This led to positive returns for U.S. Treasuries and a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Investment grade and high yield corporate bonds also posted positive returns, as the credit fundamentals in corporate markets remained relatively solid.
In the U.S. equity market, volatility spiked in late 2018, as a wide range of risks were brought to bear on markets, ranging from rising interest rates and slowing global growth to heightened trade tensions and political turmoil. These risks manifested in a broad-basedsell-off in December, leading to the worst December performance on record since 1931.
Volatility also rose in emerging markets, as the rising U.S. dollar and higher interest rates in the U.S. disrupted economic growth abroad. U.S.-China trade relations and debt concerns adversely affected the Chinese stock market, particularly in mainland China, while Turkey and Argentina became embroiled in currency crises, largely due to hyperinflation in both countries. An economic slowdown in Europe led to modest performance for European equities.
As equity performance faltered and global economic growth slowed, the Fed shifted to a more patient perspective on the economy in January 2019. In its last four meetings, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and signaled a slower pace of rate hikes in response to the global economic slowdown. Similarly, the European Central Bank signaled a continuation of accommodative monetary policy, while China committed to looser credit conditions and an increase in fiscal spending.
The outpouring of global economic stimulus led to a sharp rally in risk assets throughout the world. Hopes continued to remain high thereafter, as the current economic expansion became the longest in U.S. history. Looking ahead, markets are pricing in three interest rate cuts by the Fed over the next year, as investors anticipate a steady shift toward more stimulative monetary policy.
We expect a slowing expansion with additional room to run, as opposed to an economic recession. However, escalating trade tensions and the resulting disruptions in global supply chains have become the greatest risk to the global expansion.
We believe U.S. and emerging market equities remain relatively attractive. Within U.S. equities, companies with high-quality earnings and strong balance sheets offer the most attractive risk/rewardtrade-off. For bonds, U.S. Treasuries are likely to help buffer against volatility in risk assets, while income from other types of bonds can continue to offer steady returns.
In this environment, investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visitblackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2019 | | BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended June 30, 2019, all of the Fund’s share classes outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, except for the Fund’s Investor C Shares, which underperformed. For the same period, all of the Fund’s share classes underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Custom High Yield Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Custom High Yield Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions). U.S. government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from a continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
The Fund’s overweight positions in the AA, A and BBB ratings categories made positive contributions at a time of outperformance for lower-quality bonds. At the sector level, positions in tobacco, transportation and statetax-backed issues added the most value. With regard to yield curve positioning, the Fund benefited from its investments in bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer. Holdings in various Puerto Rico bonds, which staged a recovery in the period, were further contributors.
An underweight in unrated securities detracted from results, as did an underweight in bonds with maturities in the five- to20-year range. A zero weighting in the Virgin Islands, which exhibited strong outperformance, also detracted. The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures, which weighed on returns given that Treasury yields fell.
At period end, the Fund’s cash position was somewhat elevated at just over 8%. Given the low absolute level of interest rates, the Fund’s investment adviser increased the Fund’s cash position amidst expectations for more favorable investment opportunities as supply is expected to pick up in the latter half of 2019. The Fund’s cash balance had no material impact on Fund performance.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The investment adviser maintained a focus on investing cash reserves at a time of robust inflows and a slownew-issue calendar. At the geographic level, the investment adviser sought to capitalize on opportunities in Puerto Rico as the country’s debt restructuring efforts began to bear fruit. The Fund also initiated new investments across a wide range of sectors, including public power, corporates, health care, education and development districts.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund’s duration (interest rate sensitivity) was somewhat lower than that of the benchmark, but investment adviser continued to emphasize opportunities in longer-dated securities with maturities of 20 years and above. The Fund maintained a higher-quality bias, including a significant underweight in unrated securities. The Fund also continued to add to the portfolio’s weighting in Puerto Rico, where the investment adviser believed valuations were still attractive.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2019 | | BlackRock National Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock National Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2019, all of the Fund’s share classes underperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index and its secondary benchmark, the Custom National Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Custom National Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the 12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions). U.S. government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy. Tax-exempt issues gained further support from a continued improvement in municipal finances and favorable supply-and-demand trends in the market.
The Fund actively sought to manage interest rate risk using short positions in U.S. Treasury futures. Since Treasury yields fell, as price rose, this strategy had a negative effect on Fund returns. The Fund’s higher-quality bias was also a headwind to Fund performance at a time in which lower-rated bonds outperformed.
The investment adviser used the increase in bond yields during the fourth calendar quarter of 2018 as an opportunity to commit cash reserves to longer-maturity, AA rated securities. In addition to improving the portfolio’s yield, this shift helped the Fund capture the outperformance of longer-dated bonds in the first half of 2019.
The Fund’s use of leverage, which increased income and amplified the impact of rising prices, contributed to Fund results. Positions in BBB rated and non-investment grade securities also added value. The Fund further benefited from its positions in the outperforming health care and transportation sectors, as well as its allocations to Illinois and New Jersey. Both are lower-quality states that outperformed on the strength of improving fundamentals and investors’ search for yield.
Declining rates and tightening credit quality spreads caused a portion of the Fund’s assets to reach appreciation potential in the estimate of the investment adviser. Profits were taken on securities purchased in the beginning of 2019, when interest rates were between 3%-3.25% for ten-year U.S. Treasuries and municipal bond ratios were more attractive. Municipal bond outperformance, combined with the decline in interest rates generally motivated the investment adviser to monetize these gains. A portion of the Fund’s lower-rated securities were also sold in order to realize the spread tightening in the lower grade sector. As a result, the Fund’s cash balance was slightly elevated by period end. The Fund’s cash balance had no material impact on Fund performance.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund moved its duration (interest-rate sensitivity) below that of the secondary benchmark. The portfolio’s duration stood at 5.5 years on June 30, 2019, down from 6.8 years on December 31, 2018 and 6.0 years on June 30, 2018. This shift reflected the decline in yields to less attractive levels. In addition, tighter yield spreads prompted the investment adviser to sell bonds it believed had reached full valuations. These sales, together with the investment adviser’s decision to increase the extent of the Fund’s interest rate risk management program in the latter part of the period, had the effect of reducing duration.
The Fund increased its weighting in non-investment-grade securities from 4.5% one year ago to 8% at the close of the period. The increase reflected opportunities the investment adviser identified in the primary market, as well as the addition of Puerto Rico securities that it believed were trading at levels that failed to reflect the potential for an economic recovery.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund had an average credit quality of A+, and its cash weighting stood at about 3%. The Fund’s exposure to bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) was 8.3%.
The Fund’s portfolio was overweight in pre-refunded securities due in part to increased refunding activity. The Fund was also overweight in transportation and utilities, which are essential-revenue sectors that benefit from strong market liquidity. Conversely, the Fund’s largest underweights were in school districts and housing.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2019 | | BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended June 30, 2019, all of the Fund’s share classes 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.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions). U.S. government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from a continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
The Fund’s underweight position in AAA rated debt — which includespre-refunded bonds — detracted from Fund performance, as did its underweight in those rated AA. At the sector level, underweight positions in transportation and utilities issues were key detractors. The Fund’s performance was also pressured by an underweight in the three- to four-year portion of the yield curve.
On the plus side, yield curve positioning in thezero- to three-year range was additive to Fund performance. A position in variable rate demand notes, which the Fund established to offset the risk of Fed rate increases, also contributed. Overweight positions in the Fund’s A and BB rated issues, together with tactical purchases ofone-year notes with underlying ratings of A and AA, further added value to Fund returns. Overweights in the localtax-backed, school districts, health care and corporate sectors were key contributors, as well.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund started the annual period with a defensive investment strategy, reflecting the Fed’s ongoing efforts to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates. The investment adviser used floating-rate securities in lieu ofpre-refunded bonds to help manage the risk of interest rate hikes. As the market adjusted to the Fed’s policy changes, the investment adviser started to reposition the Fund by increasing its duration (interest-rate sensitivity). To accomplish this, the Fund reduced the portfolio’s allocation to floating-rate securities while raising its weighting in longer-dated bonds and adding to its positions in the A and BBB credit tiers. In addition, the investment adviser began to replace the portfolio’s maturing holdings with unrated municipal operating financing notes with underlying bond ratings of A and AA. The investment adviser believed these bonds offered attractive yield spreads over rated, high-grade securities.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund was overweight in the front end of the yield curve, contributing to its short duration relative to the benchmark. The Fund continued to use variable-rate demand notes as an alternative while it sought opportunities in longer-duration bonds. The Fund was underweight in thepre-refunded, statetax-backed, utility and localtax-backed sectors, and it was underweight in the corporate and health care sectors. At the geographic level, the Fund was overweight in New Jersey and Connecticut and underweight in California and New York. In terms of credit quality, the Fund was overweight in bonds rated A and BBB, while its largest underweights were in those rated AAA and AA.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2019 | | BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund |
Investment Objective
BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from Federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the12-month period ended June 30, 2019, all of the Fund’s share classes underperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and the 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.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds produced a healthy gain in the12-month period, largely as a result of the sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields from November onward. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions). U.S. government bonds were boosted by the combination of slowing economic growth and the Fed’s pivot toward a more accommodative monetary policy.Tax-exempt issues gained further support from a continued improvement in municipal finances and favorablesupply-and-demand trends in the market.
New York municipal bonds trailed the national market by a narrow margin, as the market’s slightly lower duration (interest-rate sensitivity) was a small headwind for relative performance. New York municipal bonds also have a lower yield than the national index since they are typically of higher average credit quality.
The Fund actively sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures. Since Treasury yields fell, as price rose, this strategy had a negative effect on Fund returns. An overweight in tobacco issues detracted given the sector’s relative weakness.
The Fund’s use of leverage contributed positively, as it increased income and amplified the impact of rising prices. The Fund also benefitted from its overweight position in lower-rated securities (those rated A and below), which generally outperformed as yields spreads tightened. The Fund’s allocation to longer-term bonds, which outpaced the benchmark, was an additional positive for Fund performance. Security selection in the statetax-backed and utility sectors contributed, as well.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The investment adviser’s activity primarily reflected its effort to capitalize on the key trends in the broader market. In the first four months of the period, rising rates presented the Fund with the opportunity to increase duration by reducing the extent of the portfolio’s short positions in U.S. Treasuries and adding to its weighting in longer-maturity debt.
The backdrop changed in early November, when yields started to decline. The uptrend in prices provided the investment adviser with the chance to rebuild its short positions in Treasuries and sell select municipal securities into strength. As the valuations of municipal debt grew richer later in the reporting period, the investment adviser began to look for opportunities among shorter-maturity bonds and more defensive securities, including those in the housing sector.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
Relative to the benchmark, the Fund was positioned with an overweight in longer-maturity bonds and an underweight in shorter-term issues. The Fund’s duration was below that of the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index, primarily as a result of the short positions in U.S. Treasuries. The Fund also maintained its overweight in lower-rated bonds.

Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. | |
| (b) | The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of June 30, 2019, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment adviser to be investment grade represents 1% of the Fund’s total investments. | |
About Fund Performance
Institutional and Class K Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund Class K Share performance shown prior to the Class K inception date of January 25, 2018 is that of the respective Fund’s Institutional Shares. BlackRock National Municipal Fund Class K Share performance shown prior to the Class K inception date of July 18, 2011 is that of Institutional Shares. The performance of each Fund’s Class K Shares would be substantially similar to Institutional Shares because Class K Shares and Institutional Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that Class K Shares and Institutional Shares have different expenses. The actual returns of Class K Shares would have been higher than those of the Institutional Shares because Class K Shares have lower expenses than the Institutional Shares. On the close of business on August 15, 2016, all of the issued and outstanding BlackRock Shares of BlackRock National Municipal Fund were redesignated as Class K Shares.
Service Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund) are not subject to any sales charge (front-end load) or deferred sales charge. These shares are subject to a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee) and are only available to certain eligible investors. Prior to July 18, 2011, Service Share performance results are those of the Institutional Shares restated to reflect Service Share fees.
Investor A Shares are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.25% for all Funds except BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, which incurs a 3.00% maximum initial sales charge, and all Funds incur a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee). Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries.
Investor A1 Shares (available only in BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund) are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 1.00% for BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and 4.00% for BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund; and a service fee of 0.10% per year (but no distribution fee). The maximum initial sales charge does not apply to current eligible investors of Investor A1 Shares of the Funds. Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a CDSC where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders.
Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Effective November 8, 2018, the Funds adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares.
Investor C1 Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund) are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans and, for BlackRock National Municipal Fund only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund, or to redemptions of shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution and service fees per year as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution Fee | | | Service Fee | |
BlackRock National Municipal Fund | | | 0.55 | % | | | 0.25 | % |
BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund | | | 0.35 | | | | 0.25 | |
Investor A1 and Investor C1 Shares of their respective Funds are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestments by existing shareholders, and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans and, for BlackRock National Municipal Fund only, fee based programs previously approved by the Fund. Effective November 8, 2018, the Funds adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C1 Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares.
Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer towww.blackrock.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date/payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, each Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.
The standardized30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements.

16 | | 2019 BLACKROCK ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and other fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2019 and held through June 30, 2019) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the headings entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance returns and NAV. However, there is no guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
Each of BlackRock High Yield Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund may leverage its assets through the use of proceeds received in tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions, as described in the Notes to Financial Statements. In a TOB Trust transaction, the Funds transfer municipal bonds or other municipal securities into a special purpose entity (a “TOB Trust”). TOB investments generally provide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAV per share.
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 a Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of the Funds (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Funds’ shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to the Funds’ shareholders, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the Funds’ 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 a Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Funds had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of each 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 each Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on each Fund’s performance from leverage. Changes in the direction of interest rates are difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each 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 a Fund’s shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. In addition, each 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 Funds to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by each Fund’s shareholders and may reduce income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds 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. The Funds’ 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 a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), asopen-end management investment companies. The Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following are referred to herein collectively as the “Funds” or individually as a “Fund”:
| | | | | | |
Registrant Name | | Fund Name | | Herein Referred To As | | Diversification Classification |
BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. | | BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund | | High Yield Municipal | | Diversified |

Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that certain classes bear expenses related to the shareholder servicing and distribution of such shares. Institutional, Service and Class K Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Investor A1 and C1 Shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders, and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. Effective November 8, 2018, each Fund adopted an automatic conversion feature whereby Investor C and C1 Shares held for approximately ten years will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor C shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A Shares distribution and service plan).

The Board of Directors of High Yield Municipal, National Municipal, Short-Term Municipal and Board of Trustees of New York Municipal are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board,” and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Directors”.
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex ofnon-index fixed-income mutual funds and all BlackRock-advisedclosed-end funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
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. Each 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 on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities is recognized 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.
Segregation and Collateralization:In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., futures contracts,) or certain borrowings (e.g., TOB Trust transactions) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, a Fund may segregate or designate on itsbooks and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment or borrowings to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.
Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared monthly and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on theex-dividend date 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.

80 | | 2019 BLACKROCK ANNUAL REPORTTO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Offering Costs: Offering costs are amortized over a12-month period beginning with the commencement of operations of a class of shares.
Deferred Compensation Plan:Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Fund’s Board, effective January 1, 2019, the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), 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 Directors. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors 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 each Fund, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities are included in the Directors’ and Officer’s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Funds until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Indemnifications:In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. 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. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on their relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. | INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Investment Valuation Policies: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) (or if the reporting date falls on a day the NYSE is closed, investments are valued at fair value as of the period end). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments.
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
| • | | Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by independent dealers or third party pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more independent brokers or dealers as obtained from a third party pricing service. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and offers), 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. |
| • | | Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. |
| • | | Investments inopen-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day. |
| • | | Futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. |
If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investments, or in the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Global Valuation Committee will 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 Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in anarm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement. The pricing of all Fair Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value 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 each 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) |
| | | | |
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | | 81 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
| • | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including each 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. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. | SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS |
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities: Certain funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. A fund may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, a fund may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, a fund is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, a fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, a fund’s maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts: Certain funds leverage their assets through the use of “TOB Trust” transactions. The funds transfer municipal bonds into a special purpose trust (a “TOB Trust”). A TOB Trust issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third party investors, and residual inverse floating rate interests (“TOB Residuals”), which are issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB Trust for redemption at par and any accrued interest at each reset date. The TOB Residuals held by a fund provides the fund with the right to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates to the TOB Trust at par plus accrued interest. The funds may withdraw a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB Trust. Other funds managed by the investment adviser may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which a fund has contributed bonds. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residuals will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day. The tendered TOB Trust Certificates are remarketed by a Remarketing Agent. In the event of a failed remarketing, the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Trust Certificates. Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Trust Certificates held by the TOB Trust and will be subject to an increased interest rate based on number of days the loan is outstanding.
The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of a fund, upon the occurrence of a termination event as defined in the TOB Trust agreement. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, a TOB Trust would be liquidated with the proceeds applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee of the TOB Trust, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider. Upon certain termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders will be paid before the TOB Residuals holders (i.e., the Funds) whereas in other termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders and TOB Residuals holders will be paid pro rata.
While a fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities, such as TOB Residuals, they restrict the ability of a fund to borrow money for purposes of making investments. Each fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less certain transaction expenses, is paid to a fund. A fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds.
Accounting for TOB Trusts: The municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust are presented in a fund’s Schedule of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in Other Liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any loans drawn by the TOB Trust pursuant to the liquidity facility to purchase tendered TOB Trust Certificates are shown as Loan for TOB Trust Certificates. The carrying amount of a fund’s payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates or the Liquidity Provider, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates or Loan for TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by a fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the TOB Trust transaction and other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Fees paid upon creation of the TOB Trust are recorded as debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations to the expected maturity of the TOB Trust. In connection with the restructurings of the TOB Trusts tonon-bank sponsored TOB Trusts, a fund incurrednon-recurring, legal and restructuring fees, which are recorded as interest expense, fees and amortization of deferred offering costs in the Statements of Operations.

For the year ended June 30, 2019, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s TOB Trusts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts (a) | | | Liability for TOB Trust Certificates (b) | | | Range of Interest Rates on TOB Trust Certificates at Period End | | | Average TOB Trust Certificates Outstanding | | | Daily Weighted Average Rate of Interest and Other Expenses on TOB Trusts | |
High Yield Municipal | | $ | 135,485,061 | | | $ | 75,300,547 | | | | 2.10% — 1.88% | | | $ | 70,967,626 | | | | 2.19 | % |
National Municipal | | | 771,954,160 | | | | 324,359,972 | | | | 2.00% — 1.92% | | | | 223,332,527 | | | | 2.12 | |

| (a) | The municipal bonds transferred to a TOB Trust are generally high grade municipal bonds. In certain cases, when municipal bonds transferred are lower grade municipal bonds, the TOB Trust transaction may include a credit enhancement feature that provides for the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds to the TOB Trust by a credit enhancement provider in the event of default of the municipal bond. The TOB Trust would be responsible for the payment of the credit enhancement fee and the funds, as a TOB Residuals holder, would be responsible for reimbursement of any payments of principal and interest made by the credit enhancement provider. The maximum potential amounts owed by the funds, for such reimbursements, as applicable, are included in the maximum potential amounts disclosed for recourse TOB Trusts. | |
| (b) | TOB Trusts may be structured on anon-recourse or recourse basis. When a fund invests in TOB Trusts on anon-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider may be required to make a payment under the liquidity facility to allow the TOB Trust to repurchase TOB Trust Certificates. The Liquidity Provider will be reimbursed from the liquidation of bonds held in the TOB Trust. If a fund invests in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, a Fund enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where a fund is required to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for any shortfall between the amount paid by the Liquidity Provider and proceeds received from liquidation of municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). As a result, if a fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, a fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB Trust, these losses will be shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by a fund at June 30, 2019, in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust. The recourse TOB Trusts are identified in the Schedules of Investments including the maximum potential amounts owed by a fund at June 30, 2019. | |

5. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their 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 Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange orover-the-counter (“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 agreements between the Funds 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 Funds are 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements 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, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.

6. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Investment Advisory:The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the applicable Funds, entered into Investment Advisory Agreements with the Manager, the Funds’ investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock (“BlackRock”) to provide investment advisory services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily value of each Fund’s net assets.
High Yield Municipal and New York Municipal:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Investment Advisory Fee | |
First $1 Billion | | | 0.470 | % |
$1 Billion — $3 Billion | | | 0.440 | |
$3 Billion — $5 Billion | | | 0.420 | |
$5 Billion — $10 Billion | | | 0.410 | |

$400 Million — $550 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.320 | |
Greater than $550 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.290 | |
| (a) | 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. | |
Service and Distribution Fees:The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the relevant share class of each Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

BRIL and broker-dealers, pursuant tosub-agreements with BRIL, provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to shareholders.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the following table shows the class specific service and distribution fees borne directly by each share class of each Fund:

Interfund Lending: In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each 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 each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. National Municipal, Short-Term Municipal and New York Municipal are currently permitted to borrow under the Interfund Lending Program. High Yield Municipal 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 year ended June 30, 2019, no Fund participated in the Interfund Lending Program.
Directors and Officers:Certain directors and/or officers of the Funds are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Directors and Officer in the Statements of Operations.
Other Transactions:The Funds may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common directors. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with affiliated funds in compliance with Rule17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Each 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 each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for each of the four years ended June 30, 2019. The statutes of limitations on each 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 Funds as of June 30, 2019, 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 Funds’ financial statements.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences attributable to non-deductible expenses and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards were reclassified to the following accounts:

| (a) | The Funds designate these amounts paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as exempt-interest dividends. | |
| (b) | Ordinary income consists primarily of taxable income from bonds not federally tax-exempt, recognized market discount and net short-term gains. Additionally, all ordinary income distributions are comprised of interest related dividends and qualified short-term gains for non-U.S. residents and are eligible for exemption from U.S. withholding tax for nonresident aliens and foreign corporations. | |
| (c) | The Funds designate these amounts paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as capital gain dividends. | |
As of period end, the tax components of accumulated net earnings were as follows:

| (a) | Amounts available to offset future realized capital gains. | |
| (b) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain futures contracts and the treatment of residual interests in TOB Trusts. | |
| (c) | The Funds have elected to defer certain qualified late-year losses and recognize such losses in the next taxable year. | |
As of June 30, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of their respective Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a364-day, $2.25 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, 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
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of(a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (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. The agreement expires in April 2020 unless extended or renewed. Prior to April 18, 2019, Participating Funds paid an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% on the total commitment amounts, in addition to administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations. 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 year ended June 30, 2019, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers may decrease, which would lessen their ability to make a market in these securities. Such a reduction in market making capacity could potentially decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, a Fund may sell a security at a lower price, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative impact on performance. If a Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and impact performance.
In the normal course of business, certain Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each 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. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which each Fund is subject.
Each 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 each Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Fund’s portfolio will decline if each Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below each Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
The Funds may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Funds reinvest the proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total return performance of a Fund.
A Fund structures and “sponsors” the TOB Trusts in which it holds TOB Residuals and has certain duties and responsibilities, which may give rise to certain additional risks including, but not limited to, compliance, securities law and operational risks.
Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in the TOB Trusts may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.
The SEC and various federal banking and housing agencies have adopted credit risk retention rules for securitizations (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules would require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
TOB Trusts constitute an important component of the municipal bond market. Any modifications or changes to rules governing TOB Trusts may adversely impact the municipal market and the Funds, including through reduced demand for and liquidity of municipal bonds and increased financing costs for municipal issuers. The ultimate impact of any potential modifications on the TOB Trust market and the overall municipal market is not yet certain.
Counterparty Credit Risk:The Funds 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. The Funds manage 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 Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
A derivative contract may suffer amark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds 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, a 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 inexchange-traded futures 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 Funds.
Concentration Risk: As of period end, New York Municipal invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the Transportation sector and Short-term Municipal invested a significant portion of their assets in County, City, Special District and School District. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use 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 increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund, BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund and the Board of Directors/Trustees of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund, and BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2019, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements
The Board of Directors of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and the Board of Trustees of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”), (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) met in person on May 1, 2019 (the “May Meeting”) and June5-6, 2019 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval of the investment advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements” or the “Agreements”) between the Corporation, on behalf of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund (the “High Yield Fund”), BlackRock National Municipal Fund (the “National Fund”) and BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund (the “Short-Term Fund”), each a series of the Corporation, and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “BlackRock”), and between the Trust, on behalf of BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “New York Fund,” along with the High Yield Fund, National Fund and Short-Term Fund, each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), a series of the Trust, and BlackRock, each Fund’s investment advisor.
Activities and Composition of the Board
On the date of the June Meeting, the Board consisted of eleven individuals, nine of whom were not “interested persons” of the Corporation or the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Funds and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. TheCo-Chairs of the Board are Independent Board Members. The Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member).
The Agreements
Consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Board considers the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Board has four quarterly meetings per year, each typically extending for two days, and additionalin-person and telephonic meetings throughout the year, as needed. While the Board also has a fifthone-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the renewal of the Agreements, the Board’s consideration entails a year-long deliberative process whereby the Board and its committees assess BlackRock’s services to each Fund. In particular, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management; accounting, administrative and shareholder services; oversight of each Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; legal and compliance services; and ability to meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements. 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 management.
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considers information that is relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also furnished additional information to the Board in response to specific questions from the Board. This additional information is discussed further below in the section titled “Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements.” Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance forone-year, three-year, five-year,ten-year, and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, applicable benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analyses of the reasons for any over-performance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for services; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to each Fund; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (e) BlackRock and each Fund’s adherence to applicable compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, character and scope ofnon-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the estimated cost of such services; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment mandates across theopen-end fund, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”),closed-end fund,sub-advised mutual fund, separately managed account, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these products and the services provided as compared to each 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.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the May Meeting, the Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Independent Board Members are continuously engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper classification or Morningstar category, regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”), the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance Peers”) and other metrics, as applicable; (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers, and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion offall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts,sub-advised mutual funds, ETFs,closed-end funds,open-end funds, and separately managed accounts, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other products, as applicable; (e) review ofnon-management fees; (f) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale, if any, with each Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock;(h) sales and redemption data regarding each Fund’s shares; and (i) various additional information requested by the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRock’s and each Fund’s operations.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
At the May Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the May Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting. Topics covered included: (a) the methodology for measuring estimated fund profitability; (b) economies of scale; (c) fund expenses and potential fee waivers; and (d) differences in services provided and management fees betweenopen-end funds and other product channels.
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; (b) the investment performance of each Fund as compared with Performance Peers and other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) each Fund’s fees and expenses compared to Expense Peers; (e) the sharing of potential economies of scale;(f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with each 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 personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board did not identify any particular information as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
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 each 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 each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing each Fund’s performance and each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the number, education and experience of investment personnel generally and each Fund’s portfolio management team; BlackRock’s 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 each 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 othernon-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each 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 other service providers including, among others, each 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 certainopen-end funds; and (viii) performing or managing administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, overseeing each 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 & compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of each Fund and BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund. In preparation for the May Meeting, the Board was provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance as of December 31, 2018. 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 each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers. The Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of each 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 the Performance Peer funds (for example, the investment objective(s) and investment 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 affect long-term performance disproportionately.
The Board noted that for theone-, three- and five-year periods reported, the High Yield Fund ranked in the second, second, and first quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for theone-, three- and five-year periods reported, the National Fund ranked in the third, first, and first quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the National Fund’s underperformance during the applicable period.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
The Board noted that for theone-, three- and five-year periods reported, the Short-Term Fund ranked in the second, third and fourth quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Short-Term Fund’s underperformance during the applicable periods.
The Board noted that for each of theone-, three- and five-year periods reported, the New York Fund ranked in the first quartile against its Performance Peers.
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 each Fund: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each 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 each 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 any12b-1 or non12b-1 service fees. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit a fund, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers that benefit a fund. 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 andsub-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 each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 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 individual fund levels 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.
In addition, the Board considered the estimated cost of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ estimated profits relating to the management of each Fund and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Board reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs of managing the Funds, to each Fund. 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 Agreements 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, assumption of risk, and liability profile in servicing each Fund, including in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment mandates across theopen-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 High Yield 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 High Yield Fund’s Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the High Yield Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the High Yield Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board noted that if the size of the High Yield Fund were to decrease, the High Yield Fund could lose the benefit of one or more breakpoints. In addition, the Board noted that BlackRock and the Board have contractually agreed to a cap on the High Yield Fund’s total expenses as a percentage of the High Yield Fund’s average daily net assets on aclass-by-class basis.
The Board noted that the National 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 National Fund’s Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the National Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the aggregate assets of the National Fund, combined with the assets of the Short-Term Fund, increase above certain contractually specified levels. The Board noted that if the size of the National Fund or the Short-Term Fund were to decrease, the National Fund could lose the benefit of one or more breakpoints. The Board further noted that BlackRock and the Board have contractually agreed to a cap on the National Fund’s total expenses as a percentage of the National Fund’s average daily net assets on aclass-by-class basis. The Board also noted that BlackRock proposed, and the Board agreed to, a lower contractual expense cap on aclass-by-class basis. This expense cap reduction was implemented on May 31, 2018.
The Board noted that the Short-Term 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 Short-Term Fund’s Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the Short-Term Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the aggregate assets of the Short-Term Fund, combined with the assets of the National Fund, increase above certain contractually specified levels. The Board noted that if the size of the Short-Term Fund or the National Fund were to decrease, the Short-Term Fund could lose the benefit of one or more breakpoints. The Board further noted that BlackRock and the Board have contractually agreed to a cap on the Short-Term Fund’s total expenses as a percentage of the Short-Term Fund’s average daily net assets on aclass-by-class basis.
The Board noted that the New York Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile relative to the Expense Peers. The Board also noted that the New York Fund has an advisory fee arrangement that includes breakpoints that adjust the fee rate downward as the size of the New York Fund increases above certain contractually specified levels. The Board noted that if the size of the New York Fund were to decrease, the New York Fund could lose the benefit of one or more breakpoints. In addition, the Board noted that BlackRock and the Board have contractually agreed to a cap on the New York Fund’s total expenses as a percentage of the New York Fund’s average daily net assets on aclass-by-class basis.
D. Economies of Scale: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of each Fund increase, including the existence of fee waivers and/or expense caps, as applicable, noting that any contractual fee waivers and expense caps had been
| | | | |
DISCLOSUREOF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS | | | 97 | |
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
approved by the Board. The Board also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies in a variety of ways, and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or breakpoint structure in order to enable each Fund to more fully participate in these economies of scale. The Board considered each Fund’s asset levels and whether the current fee schedule was appropriate. In its consideration, the Board Members took into account the existence of any expense caps and further considered the continuation and/or implementation, as applicable, of such caps.
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 each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and 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 each Fund, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending and cash management services. 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 Agreements, 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 theopen-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that each Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of each Fund.
Conclusion
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Corporation, on behalf of the High Yield Fund, the National Fund and the Short-Term Fund, and the Trust, on behalf of the New York Fund, each for aone-year term ending June 30, 2020. 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 Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors asall-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 also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.

Additional Information
General Information
Effective September 26, 2016, BlackRock implemented a new methodology for calculating “effective duration” for BlackRock’s municipal bond portfolios. The new methodology replaces the model previously used by BlackRock to evaluate municipal bond duration and is a common indicator of an investment’s sensitivity to interest rate movements. The new methodology is applied to each Fund’s duration reported for periods after September 26, 2016.
Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports, current net asset value and other information regarding the Funds, including each Fund’s effective duration and additional information about the new methodology may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed athttp://www.blackrock.com. Any reference to BlackRock’s website in this report is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Funds and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.
Householding
The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and it is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

Tax or othernon-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemedpre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project.

The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to generalpre-approval at the next regularly scheduledin-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification.
