Fund Summary as of January 31, 2014 | BlackRock Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Fund |
| |
Investment Objective
BlackRock Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek total return over the long term.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six-month period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | As part of its investment strategy, the Fund uses derivatives, including total return swaps, to achieve exposure to a market or to manage market and/or equity risks. Through its use of total return swaps, the Fund’s performance is attributable to effective stock selection based on bottom-up security analysis coupled with a long-short approach to controlling the Fund’s exposure to trends in emerging markets. |
• | | Stock selection had a negative impact on returns during the period, particularly in China. The largest detractors were the Fund’s short positions on stocks that had appreciated significantly and became expensive when measured against the company’s assets and/or earnings. Most notably, a short position in Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard hurt results. The fundamentals for this company have been weak due to global overcapacity in shipbuilding. Nevertheless, the stock price surged higher during the period. |
• | | The Fund’s long net market positioning was a small contributor to performance for the period. (The net market position is the difference between the Fund’s total long positions and total short positions.) Specifically, the Fund held nearly 30% net long exposure in September and October 2013 when the market moved up more than 11%. The Fund’s net long exposure averaged 24% from November 2013 to January 2014, during which the market declined nearly 10%. The Fund used net market exposure as a risk management tool to protect against market volatility by bringing the net exposure down to 15% by January 31, 2014, which is 5% below the Fund’s target level of 20%. |
• | | The Fund succeeded in mitigating many of the risks inherent in emerging market investing. Throughout this volatile period, the Fund maintained its portfolio volatility at a level that was 40% or lower than that of the emerging equity market. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | Throughout this period, the investment advisor continued to rely largely upon measures of consistency in fundamentals to drive decisions in taking key long and short positions but also took into account material price movements or changing information while seeking to capitalize upon these trends. Despite some episodic payoffs, positions driven by companies’ prices relative to their assets and earnings struggled during the period. The Fund reduced exposure to those companies and increased exposure to companies that have improving fundamentals and a positive earnings outlook. |
• | | The Fund’s cash exposure had no material impact on performance as the Fund expresses long and short positions via the use of derivatives. The Fund was fully invested throughout the period. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | As of period end, the Fund held a reduced net market exposure driven mainly by market sentiment and the recent decline in global initial public offerings and acquisition announcements. In addition to fundamental stock selection, the Fund sought to capitalize on stock selection within baskets of stocks relating to bigger picture, macro themes. This is particularly important given the divergence in performance across emerging market countries that materialized in 2013. While selecting specific stocks continues to be the Fund’s central investment theme, the importance of macro sensitivities and other factors has expanded and provides a wide range of opportunity for exploring investment themes. The Fund also maintained an allocation to “emerging markets in developed markets” in order to capitalize on the segmentation bias among emerging market investors. |

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six-month period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index. |
What factors influenced performance?
• | | As part of its investment strategy, the Fund uses derivatives, including total return swaps, to achieve exposure to a market or to manage market and/or equity risks. Through its use of total return swaps, the Fund’s performance is attributable to effective stock selection based on bottom-up security analysis coupled with a long-short approach to controlling the Fund’s exposure to trends in global equity markets. |
• | | The largest positive return contributions came from country and industry positioning, while relative stock selection and the Fund’s net long positions also added value. With respect to country positioning, a long position in Spanish stocks had a positive impact as the country exited recession in late 2013 and unemployment started to fall from high levels. This boosted the country’s stocks and long positions in names such as clothing retailer Inditex SA and banks Bankinter SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA performed particularly well. From an industry perspective, the Fund benefited from long positions in aerospace & defense including Raytheon Co. and Northrop Grumman Corp., which rallied on a resolution to the US government shutdown and a deal to raise the debt ceiling. Within internet software & services, long positions in IAC/InterActiveCorp, VeriSign, Inc. and Facebook, Inc. were notable contributors. |
• | | Relative stock selection in US, UK and French names had a positive impact on results. In particular, a short position in UK supermarket Tesco proved beneficial as the stock declined after the company reported that it had, along with the other big-4 supermarkets, lost further market share to discount retailers Aldi and Lidl. In addition, the Fund benefited from positions that were predicated on the anticipated impact of reduced global liquidity, particularly in US names. The Fund’s overall net long exposure also provided a small lift to performance as equity markets rallied toward the end of 2013. |
• | | Detracting from performance was a net short position in Japan as a weakening yen supported the country’s exporters and drove stock prices higher. The Fund reduced this short exposure at the end of 2013 as the yen weakened further. Also having a negative impact was a long position in Norwegian stocks, which broadly declined after the country posted disappointing economic data. Norwegian telecom firm Telenor ASA was a particularly poor performer for the period. From an individual stock perspective, the largest detractor was the Fund’s long position in direct selling company Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (US). The stock sold off in January 2014 after the Chinese government announced it would open an investigation into the operations of the company. The company derives approximately 25% of revenues from Chinese consumers. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | The Fund maintained an overall net long market position for much of the six-month period. (The net market position is the difference between the Fund’s total long positions and total short positions.) However, the Fund reduced its total long positions in the latter part of the period as equities began to look increasingly expensive relative to other asset classes and investor enthusiasm began to show signs of weakening. In January 2014, the Fund moved to a net short market position. |
• | | The Fund began the period with a net long position in the UK with a focus on stocks with high exposure to the domestic economy. However, after a strong rally, economic indicators weakened in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the Fund moved to a net short position in UK stocks. After maintaining short positions in Australia and Canada for much of 2013, the Fund moved to large long positions in these countries given expectations that both economies will benefit from weakness in their local currencies spurring export growth. Also during the period, the Fund moved from short to long positions in both the energy and materials sectors. |
• | | The Fund’s cash exposure had no material impact on performance as the Fund expresses long and short positions via the use of derivatives. The Fund was fully invested throughout the period. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | As of period end, the Fund’s overall net market exposure was short at approximately (1.4)% of net assets, reflecting a cautious view on stock price valuations and market sentiment. However, the Fund continued to be positioned to benefit from global growth with long exposure to high-growth, cyclical industries including internet software & services and media, and short exposure to defensive, non-cyclical segments such as utilities, food producers and food retailers. In contrast, the Fund was positioned for a slowdown in emerging economies, with short positions in exporters that have high exposure to emerging markets such as Nestle and Unilever. The Fund’s negative view on core European countries such as the UK, Switzerland and France has been mainly driven by this positioning. The Fund remained long in peripheral European countries including Italy and Spain due to attractive valuations relative to core European countries and the continuation of inflows from foreign investors. The Fund also remained long in Sweden given the central bank’s determination to stimulate the economy and increase inflation with loose monetary policy. |

Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend dates. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends 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”), the Funds’ investment advisor, waived and/or reimbursed a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, each Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to waive or reimburse or to continue waiving or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and reimbursements.
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, and other Fund expenses. The expense examples shown on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2013 and held through January 31, 2014) 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 each 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 other funds’ shareholder reports.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments | |
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps, as specified in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or equity risks. Derivative financial instruments 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 derivative financial instrument. The Funds’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders and/or may cause a Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (concluded) | BlackRock Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Fund |
• | | | | Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:
|
| | | | |
| • | | | | Level 1 – unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access |
| | | | | |
| • | | | | Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
| | | | | |
| • | | | | Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments.) |
| | | | | |
| | | | The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
| | | | |
| | | | Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
| | | | |
| | | | The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of January 31, 2014: |

| 1 | | Derivative financial instruments are swaps, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. |
| The carrying amount for certain of the Fund’s liabilities approximates fair value for financial statement purposes. As of January 31, 2014, cash received as collateral for swaps of $12,368,084 is categorized as Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy. |

| There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended January 31, 2014. |

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
|
1. Organization:
BlackRock FundsSM (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. BlackRock Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity”) and BlackRock Global Long/Short Equity Fund (“Global Long/Short Equity”) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”) are each a series of the Trust. The Funds are classified as diversified. Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Institutional Shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors. Investor A Shares are generally sold with an initial sales charge. Investor C Shares may be subject to a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that Investor A and Investor C Shares bear certain expenses related to the shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor C Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Certain centrally cleared swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearing house. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.
In the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset 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 consistent with the principles of fair value measurements, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE

that may not be reflected in the computation of the Funds’ net assets. If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, the Funds use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where the Funds enter into certain investments (e.g., foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps), that would be ”senior securities“ for 1940 Act purposes, the Funds may segregate or designate on their books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ future obligations under such investments. Doing so allows the investment 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.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.
Income Taxes: 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 federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity’s US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended July 31, 2013 and period ended July 31, 2012. The statute of limitations on Global Long/Short Equity’s US federal tax return remains open for the period ended July 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity’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’ facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Offering Costs: Offering costs are amortized over a 12-month period beginning with the commencement of operations.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses pro rated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.
3. 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 economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Upon entering into a financial 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. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. 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 value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

|
When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Funds enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Funds, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies, in which some of the investments held by the Funds are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.
Swaps: The Funds enter into swap agreements, in which a Fund and a counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (”OTC swaps“) or centrally cleared (”centrally cleared swaps“). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the OTC swap. Payments received or made by the Funds for OTC swaps are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, the Funds will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Funds’ basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
• | | Total return swaps — The Funds enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to securities (both long and short) or markets without owning such securities or investing directly in that market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement allows the Manager to change the composition of the basket of securities by trading in and out of the underlying equity positions at its discretion and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Statements of Operations. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying basket of equity securities and financing income receivable and/or payable due to/from the Funds and the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Funds will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty. |

Counterparty Credit Risk: 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.
The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Funds.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (”ISDA Master Agreement“) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fail to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000-$500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on the next business day. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Each Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have

| |

|
the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At January 31, 2014, the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows:

4. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (”the Manager“), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary 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 based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | | | | Investment Advisory Fee |
First $1 Billion | | | | | 1.50 | % |
$1 Billion — $3 Billion | | | | | 1.41 | % |
$3 Billion — $5 Billion | | | | | 1.35 | % |
$5 Billion — $10 Billion | | | | | 1.31 | % |
Greater than $10 Billion | | | | | 1.28 | % |
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the amounts waived were as follows:
Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity | | | | $ | 237,859 | |
Global Long/Short Equity | | | | $ | 90,521 | |
The Manager, with respect to each Fund, entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Fund Advisors, an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BlackRock Fund Advisors for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Fund to the Manager.
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (”BRIL“), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the shares of each Fund as follows:
| | | | Service Fee | | Distribution Fee |
Investor A | | | | | 0.25% | | | | — | |
Investor C | | | | | 0.25% | | | | 0.75% | |
Pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, broker-dealers and BRIL provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing service and/or distribution fees compensate BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to Investor A and Investor C shareholders.
Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Funds with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to sub-accounts they service. For these services, these entities receive an asset based fee or an annual fee per shareholder account, which will vary depending on share class and/or net assets.
The Manager maintains a call center, which is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Funds, such as responding to shareholder inquiries and processing transactions based upon instructions from shareholders with respect to the subscription and redemption of Fund shares. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity reimbursed the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent —class specific in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity |
Institutional | | | | $ | 843 | |
Investor A | | | | $ | 742 | |
Investor C | | | | $ | 184 | |
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Administration Agreement with the Manager and State Street Bank and Trust Company as co administrators (together, the ”Administrators“) to provide administrative services (other than investment advice and related portfolio activities). The Administrators receive a combined administration fee computed daily and payable monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The combined administration fee, which is shown as administration in the Statements of Operations, is paid at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets | | | | Administration Fee |
First $500 Million | | | | | 0.075 | % |
$500 Million — $1 Billion | | | | | 0.065 | % |
Greater than $1 Billion | | | | | 0.055 | % |
In addition, each of the share classes is charged an administration fee based on the following percentages of average daily net assets of each respective class:
Average Daily Net Assets | | | | Administration Fee — Class Specific |
First $500 Million | | | | | 0.025 | % |
$500 Million — $1 Billion | | | | | 0.015 | % |
Greater than $1 Billion | | | | | 0.005 | % |
For the six months ended January 31, 2014, Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity and Global Long/Short Equity paid the Manager $230,536 and $97,604, respectively, in return for these services, which are included in administration fees, administration fees — class specific and administration fees waived — class specific in the Statements of Operations.
The Administrators may have, at their discretion, voluntarily waived all or any portion of their administration fees for a Fund or a share class, which are included in administration fees waived and administration fees waived - class specific in the Statements of Operations.

The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, income tax expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business, in order to limit expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets as follows: 1.75% for Institutional, 2.00% for Investor A and 2.75% for Investor C. The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior for December 1, 2014 for Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity and Global Long/Short Equity unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the independent trustees or by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds.
These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager, administration fees waived, administration fees waived — class specific, transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed and fees reimbursed by Manager respectively, in the Statements of Operations.
If during a Fund’s fiscal year the operating expenses of a share class, that at any time during the prior two fiscal years received a waiver or reimbursement from the Manager, are less than the expense limit for that share class, the Manager is entitled to be reimbursed by such share class up to the lesser of (a) the amount of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during those prior two fiscal years under the agreement and (b) the amount by which the expense limit for that share class exceeds the operating expenses of the share class for the current fiscal year, provided that: (1) the Fund, of which the share class is a part, has more than $50 million in assets for the fiscal year and (2) the Manager or an affiliate continues to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor or administrator. In the event the expense limit for a share class is changed subsequent to a fiscal year in which the Manager becomes entitled to reimbursement for fees waived or reimbursed, the amount available to reimburse the Manager shall be calculated by reference to the expense limit for that share class in effect at the time the Manager became entitled to receive such reimbursement, rather than the subsequently changed expense limit for that share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the Manager recouped the following fund level and class specific waivers and/or reimbursements previously recorded by the Funds:
| | | | Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity | | Global Long/ Short Equity |
Fund | | | | $ | 2,347 | | | $ | 86,590 | |

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and trustees in the Statements of Operations.
5. Bank Borrowings:
The Trust, 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, $800 million credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2014. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.065% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the one-month LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration and arrangement fees, which, along with commitment fees, were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. The Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended January 31, 2014.
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially
52 | BLACKROCK FUNDS | JANUARY 31, 2014
|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
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 generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
The Funds invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When the Funds concentrate their investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in US securities. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.
The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of several European countries. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds’ investments.
