Dear Shareholder,
Market volatility, while remaining below the long-term average level, increased over the course of 2014 and into 2015, driven largely by higher valuations in risk assets (such as equities and high yield bonds), escalating geopolitical risks, uneven global economic growth and expectations around policy moves from the world’s largest central banks. Surprisingly, U.S. interest rates trended lower through the period even as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) gradually reduced its bond buying program, which ultimately ended in October.
The first half of 2014 was generally a strong period for most asset classes; however, volatility ticked up in the summer as geopolitical tensions intensified in Ukraine and the Middle East and investors feared that better U.S. economic indicators may compel the Fed to increase short-term interest rates sooner than previously anticipated. Global credit markets tightened as the U.S. dollar strengthened versus other currencies, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows, and financial markets broadly weakened in the third quarter.
Several themes dominated the markets in the fourth quarter that resulted in the strong performance of U.S. markets versus other areas of the world. Economic growth strengthened considerably in the United States while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan took aggressive measures to stimulate growth while the Fed moved toward tighter policy, causing further strengthening in the U.S. dollar. Fixed income investors piled into U.S. Treasuries where yields, although persistently low, were comparatively higher than yields on international sovereign debt, while equity investors favored the relative stability of U.S.-based companies amid rising global risks.
Oil prices, which had been gradually declining since mid-summer, suddenly plummeted in the fourth quarter due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance. Energy stocks sold off sharply and oil-exporting economies struggled, mainly within emerging markets. Conversely, the consumer sectors benefited from lower oil prices as savings at the gas pumps freed up discretionary income for other goods and services.
These trends shifted at the beginning of 2015. U.S. equity markets starkly underperformed international markets due to stretched valuations and uncertainty around the Fed’s pending rate hike. In addition, the stronger U.S. dollar began to hurt earnings of large cap companies. The energy sector continued to struggle, although oil prices showed signs of stabilizing toward the end of January as suppliers became more disciplined in their exploration and production efforts.
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 blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2015 | 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, 2015, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-month U.S. 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 hedge market and/or equity risks. Through its use of total return swaps, the Fund’s performance is attributable to 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. The Fund’s net long market position of approximately 20% in emerging markets was the largest detractor from relative return, as emerging market equities declined in the aggregate over the six months. (The net market position is the difference between the Fund’s total long positions and total short positions.) The Fund’s investments in both emerging and developed market companies that generated meaningful revenues via exposure to emerging markets outperformed the broader emerging markets; however, this positive selection was not sufficient to offset the negative impact from a long net market position. |
| • | The Fund experienced positive contributions from positions designed to benefit from declining energy prices, as well as exposures based on the identification of improving country fundamentals in markets such as India, Taiwan and Thailand. The implementation of top-down macro driven |
insights was also additive to performance. At the industry level, the Fund’s positioning was most effective with respect to the energy and semiconductor industries, and was least effective within the chemicals industry.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | As commodity prices tumbled in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Fund began to overweight oil-importing countries and underweight exporters, on the view that structural factors should keep commodity prices range-bound for some period. After profiting from the country and industry positioning around oil in late 2014, the Fund began to trim these positions in January for risk control purposes. |
| • | 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.
| • | The Fund had an approximately 20% net long market exposure in emerging markets at the end of the period. Reflecting the divergent paths for emerging market economies, the Fund continued to have well-balanced exposure to different groups of investment insights in both emerging market stocks and developed market stocks with exposure to emerging markets. Given the recent volatility in oil prices, the Fund had trimmed its exposure to energy. |

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
| • | For the six-month period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. 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 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 contribution to performance over the period came from macro/thematic strategies, particularly industry positioning. The Fund also benefited from stock selection in U.S. names. Country selection produced more mixed results. The Fund’s close to 0% net market position over the six months meant that the impact on performance from broader market moves was negligible. (The net market position is the difference between the Fund’s total long positions and total short positions.) At the industry level, the most significant contributor was a long position in the semiconductor industry. Semiconductor manufacturers continued to benefit from the increasingly broad usage of their products and their high exposure to the “internet of things” theme. Semiconductor manufacturers are part of the supply chain in areas as diverse as computer hardware, automobiles, telecommunication services and aerospace & defense. |
| • | A long position in the energy equipment & servicing industry detracted from relative performance. These companies had been attractive and profitable investments for much of 2014 (prior to September), as they benefited from the building out of infrastructure in support of the shale oil fracking boom. Additionally, the industry tends to exhibit a low sensitivity to small movements in oil prices, which the Fund managed via long exposure to airlines, which typically perform well when oil prices drop. Nevertheless, the Fund’s holdings within energy equipment & servicing had a notable negative impact on performance given the dramatic decline in oil prices over the fourth quarter of 2014. |
Describe recent portfolio activity.
| • | The most significant change in the Fund’s positioning over the six-month period was with respect to its relative net positions in the United States and Europe. The Fund entered the period with a net long position in U.S. stocks, where short positions in domestically focused firms were more than offset by long positions in export-focused firms which tend to benefit from a weaker domestic currency and lower cost of labor. However, the outlook for U.S. firms weakened based on a number of trends. These included the impact of a strengthening dollar on exports, signs of slowing momentum in economic numbers, expectations that tighter monetary policy would impede domestic demand, and signs of crowding of capital flows into the United States. |
| • | By contrast, the Fund entered the period short European exporters due to weak trends in company fundamentals and headwinds from strong local currencies. However, European Central Bank actions leading to looser monetary policy than in the United States led to a slight weakening of the euro. In addition, there have been signs of domestic demand returning, and the lack of investor attention to the region is expected to reverse at some point. At period end the Fund had a long position in European stocks. |
| • | The Fund’s cash exposure had no material impact on performance as the Fund expresses long and short positions via the use of derivatives that may require cash collateral. The Fund was fully invested throughout the period. |
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
| • | The Fund’s net market exposure was essentially neutral, or approximately 0%, at the end of the period. At the country level, the Fund held significant long positions in Spain and Germany as well as Canada, while being short U.K. and U.S. equities. At the industry level, the Fund was long real estate, utilities and energy, while being short consumer staples and retail. |

| • | Institutional Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. |
| • | Investor A Shares are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 5.25% and a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee). Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. |
| • | Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. |
Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance
results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend 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. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), 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 of such agreement. 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, 2014 and held through January 31, 2015) 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. 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 manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also 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 limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

• | | | | 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. 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. 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. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| • | | | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices 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 a`ssumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
| | | | 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. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

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. 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. 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. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| • | | | | Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices 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) |
| | | | 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. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Valuation: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close 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 may be 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 clearinghouse. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day.
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 NYSE. Forward 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 Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Value Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, 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
54 | BLACKROCK FUNDS | JANUARY 31, 2015
|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
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 Investments 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 Investments and be 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 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.
Foreign Currency: Each 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.
Each 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 Statements 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. Each 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 are generally treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where the Fund enters into certain investments (e.g. swaps), that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Fund may segregate or designate on their books and record 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.
Distributions: Distributions paid by the Fund is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on 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 invest in long and/or short positions in 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 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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Funds enter into forward 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 forward 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. Forward 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a forward 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 the Funds 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 contract 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 Funds’ counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Funds are required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, 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 the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.
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 (dividends or interest plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. |
The Funds 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 Funds will receive any appreciation on a long position and any depreciation on a short position including dividend income from such positions. In addition, the Funds 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 Statements of Operations. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time.
The following is a summary of the Funds’ derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure:

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 Fund.
With exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) 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

|
| |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
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 their 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. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties 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 respective ISDA Master Agreements. The result 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 (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds. 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, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Funds have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand ready to perform under the terms of their agreement with such counterparty, the Funds bear the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral.
As of January 31, 2015, 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 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% |

$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 investment 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, 2015, the amounts waived were as follows:
Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity | | | | $ | 192,423 | |
Global Long/Short Equity | | | | $ | 541,873 | |
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, 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 relevant share class 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |

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 Funds’ business. The current expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are 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 to December 1, 2015 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.
These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager, fees reimbursed by Manager, administration fees waived — class specific and transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed respectively, in the Statements of Operations.
If during the Funds’ 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, 2015, the Manager recouped the following Fund level and class specific waivers and/or reimbursements previously recorded by the Funds:

6. Income Tax Information:
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 their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended July 31, 2014 and the period ended July 31, 2012. The statute of limitations on Global Long/Short Equity’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended July 31, 2014 and the period ended July 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds’ facts and circumstances and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2015, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
|
|
|
| Global Long/Short Equity
|
| | | | | | |
Tax cost | | | | $ | 1,690,056,717 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | | | $ | 1,257,035 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | | | (17,794 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | | $ | 1,239,241 | |
7. Bank Borrowings:
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), were parties to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, could borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Effective November 25, 2014, the credit agreement was amended to an aggregate commitment amount of $2.1 billion, of which the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The agreement terminates on April 23, 2015, unless otherwise extended to November 24, 2015 or renewed for a period of 364 days from April 23, 2015. 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 (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations, and 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. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
8. Principal 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 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, they assume 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 U.S. securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedules of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |

Global Long/Short Equity invests a significant portion of its 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 Fund’s investments.
