Dear Shareholder,
Markets have remained highly attuned to potential changes in U.S. monetary policy over the past year. This was markedly evident one year ago in May of 2013 when then-Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of reducing (or “tapering”) the central bank’s asset purchase programs — comments that were widely misinterpreted as signaling an end to the Fed’s zero-interest-rate policy. U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply following his comments, triggering a steep sell-off across fixed income markets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.) Global equities also suffered as investors feared the implications of a potential end to a program that had greatly supported stocks. Emerging markets, which are more sensitive to changes in global liquidity, were especially hurt by the prospect of ebbing cash flows from the United States. Markets broadly rebounded in late June, however, when the Fed’s tone turned more dovish. At the same time, improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through most of the summer.
Although the tone of economic and financial news was mixed last autumn, it was a surprisingly positive period for most asset classes. Early on, the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering, but higher volatility returned in late September 2013 when the U.S. Treasury Department warned that the national debt would soon breach its statutory maximum. The ensuing political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October. Equities and other so-called “risk assets” managed to resume their rally when politicians finally engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.
The remainder of 2013 was a generally positive period for stock markets in the developed world, although investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. When the Fed ultimately announced its tapering plans in mid-December, markets reacted positively, as this action signaled the Fed’s perception of real improvement in the economy, and investors were finally released from the anxiety that had gripped them for quite some time.
The start of the new year brought a stark change in sentiment. Heightened volatility in emerging markets — driven by reduced global liquidity, severe currency weakness, high levels of debt and uneven growth — combined with mixed U.S. economic data caused global equities to weaken in January while bond markets found renewed strength from investors seeking relatively safer assets. Although these headwinds persisted, equities were back on the rise in February as investors were encouraged by a one-year extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and market-friendly comments from new Fed Chair Janet Yellen. While U.S. economic data had softened, investors were assuaged by increasing evidence that this was a temporary trend resulting from harsher-than-usual winter weather.
In the final months of the period, signs of decelerating growth in China and geopolitical tensions in Russia and Ukraine made for a bumpy ride, but markets continued their climb as investors focused on improving U.S. economic data, stronger corporate earnings and a still-dovish central bank. Within developed markets, investors shifted from growth to value stocks as the strong performance of growth stocks in 2013 had pushed valuations higher in many of these sectors. Emerging markets also benefited from this broad rotation into cheaper valuations and were further supported by an improving growth outlook for a number of developing countries.
Even though investors were gearing up for a modest shift toward tighter monetary policy from the Fed, equity markets in the developed world posted solid gains for the six- and 12-month periods ended April 30. Emerging markets, however, experienced increased volatility amid heightened risks for the asset class. Interest rate uncertainty posed a headwind for fixed income assets, and higher-quality sectors of the market performed poorly over the reporting period. Conversely, high yield bonds benefited from income-oriented investors’ search for yield in the overall low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities close to historic lows.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s world.
Sincerely,

Rob Kapito

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2014 |
|
Investment Objective
BlackRock Emerging Market Allocation Portfolio’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek total return.
Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
• | | For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Fund underperformed its custom blended benchmark (60% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (“MSCI EM” or the “equity benchmark”)/40% JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (“EMBI+” or the “fixed income benchmark”). |
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 hedge 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. |
• | | Heightened volatility in emerging markets in the first half of the period resulted in negative returns for both the Fund and its custom blended benchmark for the overall six-month period. The Fund underperformed the custom blended benchmark due mostly to bottom-up stock selection within the long-short equity portfolio. Specifically, the Fund’s long positions in momentum stocks (stocks with upward-trending prices) hurt returns during March and April when the market broadly rotated away from these stocks, which had generated strong performance in 2013. In fixed income, the Fund’s strategic higher-quality bias had a negative impact on performance as these issues underperformed the high yield sector later in the period. |
• | | Contributing positively to relative performance was exposure to frontier stocks (stocks of companies domiciled in countries that are typically less developed than emerging markets). Also adding to returns was an allocation to developed market stocks that derive a significant portion of their sales from emerging countries. In January, the Fund’s defensive positioning by way of an overweight to fixed income proved beneficial as fixed income assets broadly outperformed equities during the month. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
• | | In the first half of the period, the Fund was defensively positioned with an underweight in equities and overweight in fixed income versus the custom blended benchmark. Within fixed income, the Fund remained strategically biased toward higher quality issuers while significantly underweighting the lowest rated issuers within the fixed income benchmark. Following the stock market correction early in 2014, the Fund increased equity exposure to bring overall portfolio risk closer to the aggregate risk of the custom blended benchmark. Toward the end of the period, the Fund made changes within the equity allocation to reduce exposure to poor-performing momentum stocks. |
• | | The Fund’s cash exposure results from maintaining long and short positions via the use of derivatives. The Fund was fully invested throughout the period and the cash exposure did not have a material impact on performance. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
• | | At period end, the aggregate risk profile of the Fund was slightly below that of the custom blended benchmark. Within equities, the Fund continued to hold positions in frontier stocks as well as a small allocation to developed market stocks with emerging market exposure. The Fund’s fixed income allocation maintained a duration profile (sensitivity to interest rate movements) that was roughly in line with that of the fixed income benchmark. The Fund remained biased toward higher rated credits and underweight in the lowest rated issuers of the benchmark index. |

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts and swaps, as specified in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated 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 Fund’s 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 the Fund to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause the Fund to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Fund’s investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 the performance tables on the previous page assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 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 Fund’s investment advisor, waived and/or reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and reimbursements.
Shareholders of the 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 example shown below (which is based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2013 and held through April 30, 2014) is intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in the Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense example provides 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 share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense example also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 this Fund 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 example 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.

Notes to Schedule of Investments
• | 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. |

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 Market Allocation Portfolio (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust. The Fund is classified as non-diversified. The 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, but may be subject to a CDSC for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. 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.
Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the account of BlackRock Cayman Emerging Market Allocation Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund and primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables the Fund to hold these commodity-related instruments and still satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. During the six months ended April 30, 2014, there were no transactions in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Fund, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Fund’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
Valuation: U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund determines the fair values of its 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 Fund for all financial instruments.
The Fund values its bond investments on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Fund’s 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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
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.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. 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 BlackRock Global Valuation

|
| |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) |
|
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 the 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 measurement. 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 Fund’s 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 Fund uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
Foreign Currency: The Fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.
The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Fund reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components may be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts and swaps) that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Fund may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions from capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Subsidiary are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. Accordingly, the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported in the Fund’s financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP for such investments held by the Subsidiary may differ significantly from income dividends and capital gain distributions. As such, any net gain will pass through to the Fund as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary in any taxable year, the loss will generally not be available to offset the Fund’s ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.
Income Taxes: It is the 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.
The 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 the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for period ended October 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on the 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 Fund’s 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 the Fund or its classes are charged to the 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 Fund and other shared expenses pro rated to the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
The Fund has 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 Consolidated Statement 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 Fund engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Fund and/or to economically hedge its exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Fund purchases and/or sells financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Fund 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 Fund is 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees 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 Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Swaps: The Fund enters into swap agreements in which the 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the OTC swap. Payments received or made by the Fund for OTC swaps are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement 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 Fund enters 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 (dividends or interest plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. |
| | The Fund will pay an amount equal to any depreciation on a long position and appreciation on a short position including dividend income from such positions. Conversely, the Fund will receive any appreciation on a long position and any depreciation on a short position including dividend income from such positions. In addition, the Fund will also pay or receive a variable rate of interest based on the underlying benchmark rate plus or minus a spread (“financing fees”). The benchmark and spread are determined based upon the country and/or currency of the individual underlying positions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying basket of equity securities and financing fees. 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. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time. |

Total return swaps:
| | | | | | |
Average number of contracts | | | | | 3 | |
Average notional value | | | | $ | 24,560,279 | |
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.
A Fund’s 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 Fund.
With exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund 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) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps 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 Fund.

|
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund 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 the 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, the 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. 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 Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund 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 Fund and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
At April 30, 2014 the Fund’s 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 Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Fund’s investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Fund.
For such services, the Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets
|
|
|
| Investment Advisory Fee
|
First $1 Billion | | | | | 1.00 | % |
$1 Billion - $3 Billion | | | | | 0.94 | % |
$3 Billion - $5 Billion | | | | | 0.90 | % |
$5 Billion - $10 Billion | | | | | 0.87 | % |
Greater than $10 Billion | | | | | 0.85 | % |
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with its investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended April 30, 2014, the Fund waived $7,644, which is included in fees waived by Manager in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Manager, with respect to the Fund, entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Fund Advisors, BlackRock International Limited, BlackRock Asset Management North Asia Limited and BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (collectively, the “Sub-Advisors”), each an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays the Sub-Advisors for services they provide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Manager.
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into a Distribution Agreement and 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, the 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 the 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 Fund. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates 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 Fund 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 Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 Fund. The combined administration fee 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
|
First $500 million | | | | | 0.025 | % |
$500 million - $1 Billion | | | | | 0.015 | % |
Greater than $1 Billion | | | | | 0.005 | % |
In addition, the Administrators may have, at their discretion, voluntarily waived all or any portion of their administration fees for the Fund or a share class which are included in administration fees waived and administration fees waived — class specific in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit expenses, excluding interest expense, dividend expense, tax expense, acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other fund expenses, which constitute extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. The current expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:
|
|
|
| Expense Limitation
|
Institutional | | | | | 1.40 | % |
Investor A | | | | | 1.65 | % |
Investor C | | | | | 2.40 | % |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) |
|
The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to March 1, 2015 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 Fund.
These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager, administration fees waived — class specific, transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific and fees reimbursed, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
If during the 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.
On April 30, 2014, the Fund level and class specific waivers and/or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:
| | | | Expiring October 31,
|
|
|
|
|
| 2015
|
| 2016
|
Fund level | | | | $ | 88,195 | | | $ | 95,069 | |
Institutional | | | | $ | 5,354 | | | $ | 6,060 | |
Investor A | | | | $ | 103 | | | $ | 127 | |
Investor C | | | | $ | 92 | | | $ | 159 | |
For the six months ended April 30, 2014, affiliates earned underwriting discounts, direct commissions and dealer concessions on sales of the Fund’s Investor A Shares, which totaled $107.
Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Fund reimburses 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
5. Purchases and Sales:
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2014, were $5,337,674 and $6,438,827, respectively.
6. Income Tax Information:
As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward, with no expiration dates, available to offset future realized capital gains of $378,004.
As of April 30, 2014 gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Tax cost | | | | $ | 51,806,717 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | | | $ | 325,110 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | | | (2,472,670 | ) |
Net unrealized depreciation | | | | $ | (2,147,560 | ) |
7. Bank Borrowings:
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Fund may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. The agreement expires in April 2015. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, other Participating Funds, including the Fund, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% 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 Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement during the six months ended April 30, 2014.
8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters 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 Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Fund; 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 Fund may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may
36 | BLACKROCK EMERGING MARKET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO | APRIL 30, 2014
|
| |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (concluded) |
|
fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.
As of April 30, 2014, the Fund had the following industry classifications:
