The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
The 12-month reporting period as of June 30, 2021 was a remarkable period of adaptation and recovery, as the global economy dealt with the implications of the coronavirus (or “COVID-19”) pandemic. The United States, along with most of the world, began the reporting period emerging from a severe recession, prompted by pandemic-related restrictions that disrupted many aspects of daily life. However, easing restrictions and robust government intervention led to a strong rebound, and the economy grew at a significant pace for the reporting period, recovering much of the output lost at the beginning of the pandemic.
Equity prices rose with the broader economy, as investors became increasingly optimistic about the economic outlook. Stocks rose through the summer of 2020, fed by strong fiscal and monetary support and positive economic indicators. The implementation of mass vaccination campaigns and passage of an additional $1.9 trillion of fiscal stimulus further boosted stocks, and many equity indices neared or surpassed all-time highs late in the reporting period. In the United States, both large- and small-capitalization stocks posted a significant advance. International equities also gained, as both developed countries and emerging markets rebounded substantially.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield (which is inversely related to bond prices) had fallen sharply prior to the beginning of the reporting period, which meant bonds were priced for extreme risk avoidance and economic disruption. Despite expectations of doom and gloom, the economy expanded rapidly, stoking inflation concerns in early 2021, which led to higher yields and a negative overall return for most U.S. Treasuries. In the corporate bond market, support from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) assuaged credit concerns and led to substantial returns for high-yield corporate bonds, although investment-grade corporates declined slightly.
The Fed remained committed to accommodative monetary policy by maintaining near zero interest rates and by reiterating that inflation could exceed its 2% target for a sustained period without triggering a rate increase. Late in the period the Fed elaborated on their expected timeline, raising the likelihood of slower bond purchasing and the possibility of higher rates in 2023.
Looking ahead, while coronavirus-related disruptions have clearly hindered worldwide economic growth, we believe that the global expansion will continue to accelerate as vaccination efforts ramp up and pent-up consumer demand leads to higher spending. While we expect inflation to increase somewhat as the expansion continues, we believe the recent uptick owes more to temporary supply disruptions than a lasting change in fundamentals. The change in Fed policy also means that moderate inflation is less likely to be followed by interest rate hikes that could threaten the economic expansion.
Overall, we favor a moderately positive stance toward risk, with an overweight in equities. Sectors that are better poised to manage the transition to a lower-carbon world, such as technology and healthcare, are particularly attractive in the long-term. U.S. small-caps and European equities are likely to benefit from the continuing vaccine-led restart. We are underweight long-term on credit, but inflation-protected U.S. Treasuries, Asian fixed income, and Chinese government bonds offer potential opportunities. We believe that international diversification and a focus on sustainability can help provide portfolio resilience, and the disruption created by the coronavirus appears to be accelerating the shift toward sustainable investments.
In this environment, our view is that 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 visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2021 | | 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 the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund outperformed 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?
Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, municipal bonds delivered strong returns in the past 12 months. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) When the period began in July 2020, the market was still suffering from the dislocations caused by COVID-19. However, tax-exempt bonds gradually climbed off of their pandemic-driven lows due to the release of multiple coronavirus vaccines, better-than-expected growth, improving municipal finances and robust investor demand. The prospect of substantial fiscal stimulus and higher taxes were additional tailwinds for the market. These factors led to a decline in yield spreads versus U.S. Treasuries, fueling gains for municipal debt. New York municipal bonds modestly outpaced the national index. The state, which experienced an above-average impact from the coronavirus-induced downturn, has outperformed in the subsequent recovery.
Both security selection and asset allocation contributed to the Fund’s positive performance.
With respect to allocation, the Fund benefited from its overweight position in lower-rated bonds due to the category’s strong outperformance relative to higher-quality debt. Holdings in the tobacco sector also aided results, as did an overweight in long-term bonds.
In terms of selection, the best results came from the state tax-backed and utilities sectors. In both cases, the relative strength largely stemmed from holdings in Puerto Rico.
The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest-rate risk further helped performance given that Treasury yields rose even as municipals gained ground.
The Fund experienced a small, negative impact from security selection in the transportation sector. The portfolio’s cash position, while limited, nonetheless detracted somewhat at a time of positive returns for the market as a whole.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
Portfolio activity was largely driven by the investment adviser’s efforts to put cash to work by capitalizing on relative valuations and the opportunities created by new issuance. The Fund increased its allocations to lower-quality securities and Puerto Rico and reduced its cash position marginally as market liquidity returned. In terms of maturity exposure, the investment adviser decreased the Fund’s weightings in securities with maturities of 20 years and above and increased its weighting in those with maturities of less than 20 years.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund ended the period with an overweight position in longer-maturity bonds, largely those in the 15- to 20-year area. Additionally, the Fund maintained an overweight in lower-quality issues (those rated A and below). The Fund’s duration was below the benchmark at the end of the period, but to a lesser extent than it was at the beginning of the period.

Fund Summary as of June 30, 2021 | | 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 the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund outperformed both its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and 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?
Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, municipal bonds delivered healthy gains in the past 12 months. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) When the period began in July 2020, the market was still suffering from the dislocations caused by COVID-19. However, tax-exempt bonds gradually climbed off of their pandemic-driven lows thanks to the release of multiple coronavirus vaccines, better-than-expected growth, improving municipal finances and robust investor demand. The prospect of substantial fiscal stimulus and higher taxes were additional tailwinds for the market. These factors led to a decline in yield spreads versus U.S. Treasuries, fueling gains for municipal debt. High-yield bonds, which benefited from investors’ appetite for both risk and yield, were especially strong performers.
Positions in longer-dated securities with maturities of 20 years and above contributed to Fund performance, as did holdings in bonds on the lower end of the investment-grade spectrum. At the sector level, the largest contributions came from utilities, state tax-backed, education and corporate-related debt. Investments in distressed obligations issued in Puerto Rico and elsewhere strongly outperformed the broader high yield category, further helping performance.
The Fund’s underweight in BB rated securities detracted from performance. Underweight positions in the five- to 20-year maturity range and the local tax-backed sector also weighed on relative performance. In the latter part of the period, a cash position hurt results by preventing the Fund from benefiting from the market’s positive return in this time. Despite the modest drag from holding cash, the portfolio remained positioned in an aggressive enough manner to offset much of the effect. The Fund also sought to manage interest-rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures late in the period, which was a very small detractor.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund adopted a more aggressive posture with respect to credit risk in late 2020. Later, the uptick in yields in the first quarter of 2021 created opportunities to capture better value in both investment-grade and non-investment grade securities. Elevated cash reserves provided the latitude to satisfy much of the shareholder redemptions that coincided with the rise in yields, eliminating the need to sell into weakness and facilitating the investment adviser’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity.
As the period progressed, the investment adviser turned its efforts to unearthing bespoke opportunities where it could structure transactions to its own liking and purchase them in their entirety, thereby avoiding the need to compete for bonds in what has become a frothy, risk-loving public market. Recent opportunities included investments in the senior living and charter school sectors.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund at times held an elevated cash balance during the period. This was in part a reflection of elevated inflows into the Fund, as well as the investment adviser’s desire to maintain sufficient liquidity in the event market conditions become less favorable. With that said, the portfolio remained positioned for a continuation of the positive investment environment. The portfolio’s duration (interest-rate sensitivity) was modestly higher than that of the benchmark.
Despite stretched valuations on both an absolute and relative basis, the investment adviser saw the combination of low supply and robust demand as a source of ongoing support for municipal bonds. Nonetheless, the investment adviser sought to offset the potential for increased market volatility by trimming some of the Fund’s more aggressive positions and maintaining its risk-management strategy with respect to interest rates.

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund outperformed the primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, the Fund’s Institutional and Class K Shares outperformed the secondary benchmark, the Custom National Index, while the Fund’s Service, Investor A and Investor C Shares underperformed. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Custom National Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, municipal bonds delivered strong returns in the past 12 months. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) When the period began in July 2020, the market was still suffering the dislocations caused by COVID-19. However, tax-exempt bonds gradually climbed off of their pandemic-driven lows thanks to the release of multiple coronavirus vaccines, better-than-expected growth, improving municipal finances and robust investor demand. The prospect of substantial fiscal stimulus and higher taxes were additional tailwinds for the market. These factors led to a decline in yield spreads versus U.S. Treasuries, fueling impressive gains for municipal debt.
The Fund benefited from its holdings in longer-duration, longer-maturity securities. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity). The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest-rate risk also aided performance given that Treasury yields rose even as municipal bonds gained ground.
At the sector level, the Fund was helped by its positions in the health care, education, transportation, utilities and corporate-backed sectors. Positions in bonds with shorter call dates—a market segment that benefited from rising demand—also added value. (A call is when an issuer redeems a bond prior to its maturity date.) An allocation to high-yield bonds and lower-rated investment-grade securities—particularly in the tobacco sector—was a further plus, as investors were willing to move down in credit quality in order to earn higher income.
The Fund’s above-average cash position detracted from Fund performance given the rally in municipal bonds. The Fund’s allocations to state-tax backed and local-authority debt, which lagged the broader market, also detracted.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The investment adviser continued to focus on constructing a balanced, higher-quality and income-oriented portfolio. The investment adviser maintained an elevated cash position to provide liquidity in the event that the coronavirus pandemic endangered the tax revenues of state and local municipalities. For most issuers, this threat did not in fact materialize. The investment adviser raised the Fund’s allocation to high-yield bonds from 10% to 12% on the belief that this segment offered a greater representation of attractively valued securities.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund had an average credit quality of AA-, up from A+ one year ago, and it held a 9.0% weighting in bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax. Duration stood at 6.0 years on June 30, 2021, in line with the benchmark. Leverage was 1.4% of assets, versus 5% at the beginning of the period. The portfolio was overweight in the health care and corporate-backed sectors, while its largest underweight was in the state tax-backed category.

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index.
What factors influenced performance?
Short-term municipal bonds delivered muted gains in the past 12 months. Although the improving outlook for state and local finances led to positive returns for municipal bonds, shorter-term issues—which are more sensitive to expectations regarding U.S. Federal Reserve policy—finished somewhat behind the broader market.
The Fund’s underperformance stemmed, in part, from an underweight in high-grade securities (those rated AAA and AA). At the sector level, underweights in pre-refunded issues, local tax-backed debt, education, transportation and utilities hurt results, as did an overweight in state tax-backed issues. An underweight in the four-year portion of the yield curve also pressured relative performance.
On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its overweights in A and BBB rated bonds. An overweight in the zero- to one-year part of the yield curve helped performance, as did an underweight in one- to three-year issues. At the sector level, overweight positions in health care, corporate-backed, housing and tobacco securities contributed positively to Fund performance.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fed kept the Fed Funds rate near zero and pledged to use all of the tools at its disposal to keep the economy stable. In addition, Congress provided fiscal stimulus packages to support economic growth. With this as the backdrop, the investment adviser’s investment strategy initially focused on tactically positioning the Fund by increasing duration (interest-rate sensitivity) in anticipation of an extended period of low interest rates. However, this strategy became challenged as the Fund experienced large inflows, and new bond issuance—especially inside of four years—was limited. The investment adviser therefore increased its focus on the secondary market as a means of uncovering additional opportunities to help execute its strategy. The low-rate environment also prompted the investment adviser to search for compelling investments in lower-rated debt.
Supply-and-demand conditions remained favorable later in the period, but signs of rising inflation fostered concerns that the Fed may need to tighten policy. With yields near historical lows, the investment adviser became more cautious in adding longer-dated issues. The Fund used short-term, high-quality variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”) as a low-risk investment alternative as it sought opportunities in longer-term debt. The Fund, after reducing its positions in VRDNs over the first nine months of the period, subsequently increased the allocation due to a large amount of bond holdings that matured. The Fund had an allocation of approximately 26% in VRDNs at the end of the period.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
At the end of June 30, 2021, the Fund held 47% of assets in securities maturing in less than a year and 14% in those with maturities of one to two years. The Fund’s weightings in the two- to three-year and three- to four-year portions of the curve were 27% and 12%, respectively. However, the investment adviser continued to look for specific opportunities in longer-dated securities.
The Fund’s maintained overweight positions in A and BBB rated debt and an underweight in AAA rated debt.

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’s and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund’s Class K Share performance shown prior to the Class K shares inception date of January 25, 2018 is that of the respective Fund’s Institutional Shares. BlackRock National Municipal Fund’s Class K Share performance shown prior to the Class K shares 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. 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. These shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans. 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. These shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years.
Past performance is not an indication of future results. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments. As a result, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to 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 the performance tables assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date or payable date, as applicable. 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 and/or voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver(s) and/or reimbursement(s), each Fund’s performance would have been lower. With respect to each Fund’s voluntary waiver(s), if any, the Manager is under no obligation to waive and/or reimburse or to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees and such voluntary waiver(s) may be reduced or discontinued at any time. With respect to each Fund’s contractual waiver(s), if any, the Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.
The standardized 30-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.
Disclosure of Expenses
Shareholders of each Fund 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 shown (which are based on a
| | |
16 | | 2 0 2 1 BLACK ROCK ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Disclosure of Expenses (continued)
hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2021 and held through June 30, 2021) 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 heading 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 net asset value (“NAV”). However, there is no guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
Each of BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund and BlackRock National Municipal 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, each Fund transfers municipal bonds or other municipal securities into a special purpose entity (a “TOB Trust”). TOB investments generally provide each Fund with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose each Fund 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 each Fund’s 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 each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to the Funds’ shareholders, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in each Fund’s per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other ongoing costs of leverage exceed a Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Fund had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of 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 was 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.

The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of non-index fixed-income mutual funds and all BlackRock-advised closed-end funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
Reorganization: The Board and shareholders of BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) and the Board and shareholders of BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust (the “Target Fund”) approved the reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund. As a result, the Acquiring Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Target Fund in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued shares of the Acquiring Fund.
Each Common Shareholder of the Target Fund received shares of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of such Common Shareholder’s Target Fund Common Shares, as determined at the close of business on October 23, 2020, less the costs of the Target Fund’s reorganization. Cash was distributed for any fractional shares.
The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of Common shares of the Acquiring Fund in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Target Fund’s Share Class | | | Shares Prior to Reorganization | | | Conversion Ratio | | | Acquiring Fund’s Share Class | | | Shares of the Acquiring Fund | |
BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust | | | Common | | | | 2,800,434 | | | | 1.44320473 | | | | Investor A | | | | 4,041,600 | |
The Target Fund’s net assets and composition of net assets on October 23, 2020, the valuation date of the reorganization were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Target Fund | |
Net assets | | $ | 43,902,809 | |
Paid-in-capital | | | 39,293,626 | |
Accumulated earnings | | | 4,609,183 | |

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the reorganization were $1,548,364,641. The aggregate net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately after the reorganization amounted to $1,592,267,450. The Target Fund’s fair value and cost of financial instruments prior to the reorganization were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Fair Value of Investments | | | Cost of Investments | | | TOB Trust Certificates | |
BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Trust | | $ | 53,220,158 | | | $ | 48,329,859 | | | $ | 10,600,472 | |
The purpose of these transactions was to combine funds managed by the Manager with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. The reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on October 23, 2020.
Assuming the reorganization had been completed on July 1, 2020, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of the Acquiring Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021, are as follows:
• | | Net investment income: $ 36,735,555 |
• | | Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $ 111,168,142 |
• | | Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $ 147,903,697 |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Operations since October 26, 2020.
Reorganization costs incurred by BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund in connection with the reorganization were expensed by BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund. The Manager reimbursed the Fund $86,834, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations.
Prior Year Reorganization: The Board and shareholders of New York Municipal and the Board and shareholders of BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (the “Prior Year Target Fund”) approved the reorganization of the Prior year Target Fund into New York Municipal. As a result, New York Municipal acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Prior Year Target Fund in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued shares of New York Municipal.
Each Common Shareholder of the Prior Year Target Fund received shares of New York Municipal in an amount equal to the aggregate NAV of such Common Shareholder’s the Prior Year Target Fund Common Shares, as determined at the close of business on June 19, 2020, less the costs of the Prior Year Target Fund’s reorganization. Cash was distributed for any fractional shares.
The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of New York Municipal in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Target Fund’s Share Class | | | Shares Prior to Reorganization | | | Conversion Ratio | | | Fund’s Share Class | | | Shares of the Fund | |

The Prior Year Target Fund’s net assets and composition of net assets on June 19, 2020, the valuation date of the reorganization were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Target Fund | |
Net assets | | $ | 62,088,752 | |
Paid-in-capital | | | 59,006,263 | |
Accumulated earnings | | | 3,082,489 | |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by New York Municipal were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Prior Year Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of New York Municipal’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets of New York Municipal before the reorganization were $1,622,641,229. The aggregate net assets of New York Municipal immediately after the reorganization amounted to $1,684,729,981. The Prior Year Target Fund’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganization was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Fair Value of Investments | | | Cost of Investments | | | TOB Trust Certificates | |
BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. | | $ | 70,713,095 | | | $ | 66,961,872 | | | $ | 9,746,745 | |
The purpose of this transaction was to combine funds managed by the Manager with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. The reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on June 22, 2020.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on July 1, 2019, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of New York Municipal, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020, are as follows:
• | | Net investment income: $ 42,795,244 |
• | | Net realized and change in unrealized loss on investments: $ (110,826,573) |
• | | Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations: $ (68,031,329) |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Prior Year Target Fund that have been included in New York Municipal’s Statements of Operations since June 22, 2020.
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. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
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 its books 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 and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and made at least annually. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Fund’s Board, 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, if any, 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. 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. 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.
3. | INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Investment Valuation Policies: Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Fund is open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each Fund determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value. 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.
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | 87 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by independent dealers or third party pricing services. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and offers), market data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent fair value. |
| • | | Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. ETFs and closed-end funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. |
| • | | Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published NAV. |
| • | | Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
If events (e.g., a market closure, market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the 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 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 an arm’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 financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
| • | | 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); and |
| • | | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments). |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the 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 that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
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: The 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 provide 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, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as 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 to non-bank sponsored TOB Trusts, a fund incurred non-recurring, legal and restructuring fees, which are recorded as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Amounts recorded within interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Interest Expense | | | Liquidity Fees | | | Other Expenses | | | Total | |
New York Municipal | | $ | 134,048 | | | $ | 436,948 | | | $ | 120,479 | | | $ | 691,475 | |
High Yield Municipal | | | 157,297 | | | | 487,422 | | | | 125,111 | | | | 769,830 | |
National Municipal | | | 143,980 | | | | 497,403 | | | | 146,665 | | | | 788,048 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2021, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s TOB Trusts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | 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 | |
New York Municipal | | $ | 210,753,112 | | | $ | 104,930,048 | | | | 0.05% — 0.25% | | | $ | 101,791,781 | | | | 0.68% | |
High Yield Municipal | | | 202,541,682 | | | | 114,823,537 | | | | 0.04 — 0.19 | | | | 112,931,703 | | | | 0.68 | |
National Municipal | | | 312,965,983 | | | | 126,900,000 | | | | 0.06 — 0.07 | | | | 126,900,000 | | | | 0.62 | |
| (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 TOB Residuals holders, 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 in the Schedules of Investments. | |
| (b) | TOB Trusts may be structured on a non-recourse or recourse basis. When a Fund invests in TOB Trusts on a non-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, 2021, 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, 2021. | |

New York Municipal | | $ | — | | | | — | % | | $ | 235,943 | | | | 0.71 | % |
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 or over-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 exchange-traded 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, are 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 rates, 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds’ investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative 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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory Fees | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | New York Municipal | | | High Yield Municipal | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.47 | % | | | 0.47 | % |
$1 billion — $3 billion | | | 0.44 | | | | 0.44 | |
$3 billion — $5 billion | | | 0.42 | | | | 0.42 | |
$5 billion — $10 billion | | | 0.41 | | | | 0.41 | |
Greater than $10 billion | | | 0.40 | | | | 0.40 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory Fees | |
Aggregate of Average Daily Net Assets of the Two Combined Funds(a) | | National Municipal | | | Short-Term Municipal | |
First $250 Million | | | 0.410 | % | | | 0.360 | % |
$250 Million — $400 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.340 | |
$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 National Municipal and Short-Term Municipal (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. | |

Interfund Lending: In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the 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. New York Municipal, National Municipal and Short-Term Municipal are currently permitted to borrow under the Interfund Lending Program.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, 2021, the Funds did not participate in the Interfund Lending Program.
Directors and Officers: Certain directors and/or officers of the Trust and the Corporation are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trust’s and the Corporation’s 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, 2021, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with affiliated funds in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
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 a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. 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, 2021, 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.
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

The Trust and the Corporation,, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-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 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 2022 unless extended or renewed. 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, 2021, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
In the normal course of business, the 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. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which each Fund is subject.
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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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.
Market Risk: 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.
Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the tax benefits supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds, and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal security issuers than for issuers of other securities.
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus has developed into a global pandemic and has resulted in closing borders, quarantines, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this pandemic, and other global health crises that may arise in the future, could affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and the market in general in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. This pandemic may result in substantial market volatility and may adversely impact the prices and liquidity of a fund’s investments. The duration of this pandemic and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.
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, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. 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 a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded 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 in exchange-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: A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. When a Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political or social conditions affecting that state or group of states could have a significant impact on the fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific states or U.S. territories are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities. High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have redemption features.
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. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.
LIBOR Transition Risk: The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Although many LIBOR rates will be phased out by the end of 2021, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published through June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The transition process away from LIBOR might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for, and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against, instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition process on the Funds is uncertain.

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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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 “Company”) and the Board of Trustees of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”) (together, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) met on May 4, 2021 (the “May Meeting”) and June 8-9, 2021 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreements (the “Agreements”) between the Company, 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 Company, 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,” and together with the High Yield Fund, National Fund and Short-Term Fund, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and BlackRock, each Fund’s investment adviser.
The Approval Process
Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the approval of the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund on an annual basis. The Board members whom are not “interested persons” of the Company or the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board members (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various services to each Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings per year, each typically extending for two days, as well as additional ad hoc meetings and executive sessions throughout the year, as needed. The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year. The Board also had a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the renewal of the Agreements. 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 services; accounting oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of each Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and compliance services. Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and met with independent legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the 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. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analyses of the reasons for any outperformance 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’s and each Fund’s adherence to applicable compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the estimated cost of such services, as applicable; (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 paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-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.
Prior to and in preparation for the May Meeting, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreements. The Independent Board Members continuously engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May Meeting included, among other 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”) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance Peers”); (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 of fall-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) a review of non-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.
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 questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting.
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 to its Performance Peers and to 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 its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with 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’s personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.

DISCLOSURE OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS | | 101 |
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
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, investment 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; 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 other non-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 third-party 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 certain open-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 and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans, including in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
B. The Investment Performance of each Fund and BlackRock
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund throughout the year and at the May meeting. In preparation for the May Meeting, the Board was provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of each Fund’s performance as of December 31, 2020, as compared to its Performance Peers. Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth, where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and, in light of each Fund’s outcome-oriented investment objective, certain performance metrics (“Outcome-Oriented Performance Metrics”). 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 its Performance Peers (for example, the investment objectives and strategies). Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, the High Yield Fund ranked in the second, first and first quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, the National Fund ranked in the third, second and second quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the National Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable period.
The Board noted that for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, the Short-Term Fund ranked in the fourth, third and fourth quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Short-Term Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable periods.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, the New York Fund ranked in the fourth, fourth and first quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the New York Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable periods.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Cost of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with 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 any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties).

102 | | 2 0 2 1 BLACK ROCK ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
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, 2020 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 the individual fund level is difficult.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.
The Board considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the 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 the open-end fund, ETF, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, separately managed account, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable.
The Board noted that the 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 a class-by-class basis.
The Board noted that the National Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the second 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 a class-by-class basis.
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 ranked in the first and second quartiles, respectively, 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 a class-by-class basis.
The Board noted that the New York Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio ranked in the third and second quartiles, respectively, relative to the New York Fund’s 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 a class-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 contractual expense caps had been approved by the Board. In its consideration, the Board further considered the continuation and/or implementation of fee waivers and/or expense caps, as applicable. The Board also considered the extent to which each Fund benefits from such economies of scale 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.
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 its risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to 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.
| | |
DISCLOSURE OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS | | 103 |
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
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 the open-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, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and the Company, 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, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2022. 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 as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.

Additional Information
Regulation Regarding Derivatives
On October 28, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). The Funds will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager.
Dividend Policy
Each Fund’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly/quarterly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the distributions paid by a Fund for any particular month/quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by a Fund during such month/quarter. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Fund current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed as accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.
General Information
Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports, current net asset value and other information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at 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, Rule 30e-3 notices and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and 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.
Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments
The Funds file their complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. The Funds’ Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Additionally, each Fund makes its portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year available at blackrock.com/fundreports.
Availability of Proxy Voting Policies, Procedures and Voting Records
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to securities held in the Funds’ portfolios during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request (1) by calling (800) 441-7762; (2) on the BlackRock website at blackrock.com; and (3) on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any othe services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g.,
3
unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:
| | | | |
Entity Name | | Current Fiscal Year End | | Previous Fiscal Year End |

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund | | $12,500 | | $13,700 |
