The Markets in Review

Dear Shareholder,

Diverging monetary policies and shifting economic outlooks across regions have been the overarching themes driving financial markets over the past couple of years. With U.S. growth outpacing the global economic recovery while inflationary pressures remained low, investors spent most of 2015 anticipating a short-term rate hike from the Federal Reserve, which ultimately came to fruition in December. In contrast, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan moved to a more accommodative stance over the year. In this environment, the U.S. dollar strengthened considerably, causing profit challenges for U.S. exporters and high levels of volatility in emerging market currencies and commodities.

Market volatility broadly increased in the latter part of 2015 and continued into 2016 given a collapse in oil prices and decelerating growth in China, while global growth and inflation failed to pick up. Oil prices were driven lower due to excess supply while the world’s largest oil producers had yet to negotiate a deal that would stabilize oil prices. In China, slower economic growth combined with a depreciating yuan and declining confidence in the country’s policymakers stoked worries about the potential impact to the broader global economy. After a long period in which global central bank policies had significant influence on investor sentiment and hence the direction of financial markets, in recent months, the underperformance of markets in Europe and Japan — where central banks had taken aggressive measures to stimulate growth and stabilize their currencies — highlighted the possibility that central banks could be losing their effectiveness.

In this environment, higher quality assets such as municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries and investment grade corporate bonds outperformed risk assets including equities and high yield bonds. Large cap U.S. equities fared better than international developed and emerging markets.

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.

Sincerely,

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016			BlackRock Commodity Strategies Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Commodity Strategies Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek total return.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return^SM.

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Fund’s allocation to equities had a mixed effect on performance relative to the commodity-only benchmark. However, the Fund’s investments in precious metals equities had the largest positive impact on relative performance, as the industry was buoyed by a modest increase in the gold price. The majority of gold’s positive performance was generated during January, when the metal benefited from “safe-haven” buying at a time of global equity market weakness, currency market volatility and rising geopolitical uncertainty. Gold stocks outperformed gold, which in part reflected the proximity of the gold price to the average cost of production for companies in the industry. At the individual stock level, the Fund’s position in Barrick Gold Corp. was a notable contributor to performance. The stock benefited from its high sensitivity to the price of gold, as well as the market’s positive response to the company’s larger-than-expected reduction of debt.

•

The portion of the Fund invested in commodity futures based investments also made a positive contribution to six-month performance, with curve strategies in the energy sector aiding relative performance. Oil prices continued to trend downward due to resilient global supply and a weaker demand outlook. Natural gas prices also declined, reflecting both robust supply and above-average winter temperatures in the United States. At a time in which shorter-dated contracts declined more than longer-dated contracts for both commodities, the Fund added value by emphasizing the latter.

•

The Fund’s allocation to agricultural stocks also made a modest contribution relative to performance. While the industry was pressured by the broader weakness in the global equity markets, it outperformed due in part to its lower sensitivity to moves in the underlying commodity prices.

•

The Fund’s position in mining stocks represented the largest drag on relative performance. The mining sector was negatively impacted by deteriorating sentiment regarding China’s economic outlook, as the country consumes roughly half the world’s mined commodities.

•

The Fund’s investments in energy stocks, which were hit hard by the decline in oil prices, also weighed on relative performance. While energy

stocks generally held up better than oil prices, they underperformed the Bloomberg Commodity Index total return. The Fund’s exposure to this sector therefore detracted from relative performance.

•

Approximately 50% of the Fund’s portfolio was held in fully collateralized, commodity-linked notes tied to commodity indices, using an enhanced index approach. This aspect of the Fund’s strategy contributed positively to relative performance, with the majority of outperformance occurring during the second half of the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

The Fund sought to maintain generally equal weightings in the equity and commodity futures based investments strategies, as well as balanced and broad equity exposure across commodity sectors. The Fund rebalanced its weightings in equities and commodity-linked notes at the end of January 2016 by increasing its position in equities and reducing its allocation to commodity-based investments.

•

The Fund reduced its position in energy stocks during the period. While the investment advisor held a positive longer-term view on the sector, it also believed the near-term risks were significant. The Fund added to its exposure in mining stocks following their significant underperformance, and it moderately increased its allocation to precious-metals stocks. The Fund also increased its exposure to the agriculture stocks. The investment advisor continued to identify potentially attractive opportunities in the downstream agricultural companies, such as those in the livestock and grain-handling industries.

•

The Fund maintained a position in cash and cash equivalents, predominantly comprised of U.S. Treasury bills, as collateral against its exposure to commodity-linked notes. The Fund’s cash balance did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

The Fund ended the period with approximately 50% of net assets exposed to the commodity-related equity strategy and 50% exposed to the commodity-linked derivatives strategy (including collateral held against the commodity-linked note exposure). In the aggregate, the Fund was overweight relative to the benchmark in the agriculture & livestock and precious metals sub-sectors and underweight in the energy and industrial metals sub-sectors.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016			BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek absolute total returns over a complete market cycle.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund underperformed the benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index.

What factors influenced performance?

•

The largest detractors from Fund returns were from event-based strategies, namely long positions in a Portuguese bank and in a Spanish infrastructure credit. In the case of the former, the bond’s value was negatively impacted by an unexpected recapitalization put forward by Portugal’s central bank that may have breached a number of banking regulation principles, and the managers are assessing possible next steps from a legal perspective.

•

Long positions in U.S. and European high yield bonds detracted throughout the period as credit spreads widened due to commodity weakness, poor sentiment and liquidity concerns for the sector. Likewise, long positions in European hybrid securities from telecommunications, utility and transportation issuers detracted as asset prices reflected the broader deterioration in risk sentiment.

•

Positioning in European financials hindered results, as the sector broadly moved with risk assets and responded to investor concerns around the Bank of Portugal’s bondholder-unfriendly actions and recent earnings woes.

•

U.S. bank loans and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) came under pressure with the selloff in U.S. high yield bonds. Additionally, tactical long positions in technology credits and capital structure trades in technology and energy credits detracted modestly.

•

On the positive side, given poor credit market sentiment for much of the period, the most significant contributors to performance were short positions and derivative strategies, as well as exposure to assets with lower volatility. The leading positive contributors to performance were short positions in several energy-related credits given the collapse in commodity prices during the period. Additionally, short positions in financial and cyclical credits in anticipation of spread widening was beneficial. In Europe, long positions in convertible bonds versus short positions in the corresponding equities performed well. Long positions in European bank loans and CLOs contributed positively, as did security selection in U.S. financial and industrial credits.

•

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund uses derivatives to manage duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) and currency risk. The Fund also has the flexibility to utilize derivatives in order to express a positive or negative view on a particular issuer or sector, or to manage overall credit risk. Derivatives may also serve as a more liquid way to express exposures and depending on the market environment the Fund

may utilize various instruments, including not but limited to: bonds, equities and derivatives. During the period, the Fund’s derivative holdings had a net positive impact on performance. This included the use of options to manage exposure to downside moves in the equity market and potential downside moves on single issuers, credit default swaps to express long and short views on credit issuers and credit indices, and forward foreign currency contracts, which help manage non-dollar currency exposure back to U.S. dollars.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the six-month period, while fundamentals for corporate issuers remained strong, the broader market backdrop experienced substantial volatility. In the midst of this volatility, the Fund sought to reduce risk, using market strength in October as an opportunity to reduce exposures in Europe. In particular, positions were lowered with respect to chemicals and telecommunications/cable credits, senior and subordinated securities of core and peripheral banks, and investment grade hybrid securities. In addition, certain convertible bond positions, which have performed well to date, were closed out.

•

In the United States, the Fund essentially maintained its overall exposures, rotating out of core high yield and investment grade credit bond positions while building positions through the new issue market. Exposure was reduced with respect to CLOs, while positions were initiated in commercial mortgage-backed securities. Toward the end of the period, exposure to financials was reduced and short positions were built in certain investment grade credit issuers vulnerable to potential spread widening, namely energy and other cyclical credits. In derivative strategies, a mix of equity options and credit indices was utilized.

•

The Fund’s cash exposure had no material impact on performance as the Fund may express long and short positions via the credit default swap market, which does not require a cash outlay like that of traditional cash bonds.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

As of period end, the Fund’s positioning reflected a view that macro factors have become less supportive, with slowing global growth dynamics, heightened volatility and credit-based investment vehicles vulnerable to outflows given recent underperformance. The Fund was also positioned in the expectation that traditional credit sectors such as high yield and investment grade corporates will play a reduced role in return generation for 2016. The focus within the Fund was on security selection and on the utilization of market-neutral, idiosyncratic approach to capitalize on dislocations across credits and sectors.

•

The Fund ended the period with a net long credit position in Europe at 19% of net assets, 21% in the United States, 3% in Asia and emerging markets, and 42% overall.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016			BlackRock Macro Themes Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Macro Themes Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek total return.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund underperformed its BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index benchmark and outperformed its MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) benchmark.

Underlying Fund Strategies

•

The Fund utilizes underlying investment strategies, which are diversified across various asset classes, including equity, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange, and assets associated with market volatility. However, notwithstanding their categorization for financial reporting purposes, many of the positions held by the Fund provided exposure to multiple types of underlying strategies. These include:

•

Tactical strategies use short-term positions to manage risk and boost returns through temporary asset price dislocations.

•

Thematic strategies use global multi-asset strategies that seek to exploit medium-term macro-economic trends.

•

Cyclical strategies use high conviction positions held for long-term growth.

•

Discretionary volatility strategies are based on fundamental research that benefits from current and expected volatility levels of different asset classes.

•

Systematic volatility strategies utilize algorithms to benefit from current and expected volatility levels of different asset classes.

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Fund employs a top down, dynamic approach to asset allocation and seeks to achieve total return by investing in a global portfolio that uses multiple strategies across a variety of asset classes, including equity securities, fixed and floating rate debt securities, and currency, commodity and cash instruments. Asset allocation is expected to be highly dynamic over time so that the Fund can adapt to a range of different market environments. The portfolio will be comprised of strategies that seek to generate growth over multiple time horizons in order to diversify sources of returns.

•

For the six-month period, the largest detractors from performance were related to the Fund’s long equity positions. A customized basket of stocks designed to provide exposure to domestically focused European peripheral companies was the largest detractor, followed by a customized equity basket of global consumer brand stocks. U.S. equity exposure also weighed on returns, principally via homebuilders and a basket of companies that exhibit above average lobbying intensity. Finally, as interest rates fell during the period, short exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds detracted from results.

•

Elsewhere, short exposures were the primary contributors to performance, as many global equity markets experienced double-digit declines. Concerns surrounding China, commodities, global growth, and policy all weighed on investors during the time period. Short exposure to European auto stocks was the largest contributor, followed by a short position in a customized equity basket of global industrial companies. Within currencies, a short position in the pound versus the U.S. dollar was additive, as risks of a U.K. exit from the European Union increased. The Fund’s bearish stance on commodities via short crude oil exposure benefited performance as well.

•

The Fund utilizes derivatives to a material degree on a regular basis. These include, but are not limited to, total return, variance, interest rate and credit default swaps, options, futures, options on futures and swaps, indexed and inverse securities and foreign exchange transactions, to manage exposure to certain risks, as well as to enhance returns. During the period, the use of financial futures contracts and swaps detracted from performance.

•

The Fund had a significant cash allocation in order to cover derivatives positions and foreign exchange positions across different currencies, for both managing exposure to certain risks and to enhance returns. The cash balance did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

As market volatility increased in the third quarter of 2015, the Fund tactically reduced sensitivity to equities and increased sensitivity to fixed income. This defensive positioning was somewhat reversed during the fourth quarter, as markets rebounded and concerns around policy and the macro-economic backdrop abated. However, as macro-economic risks increased, resulting in equity markets dropping sharply at the outset of 2016, the Fund reduced risk exposure once again to close the period with an overall defensive positioning.

•

Within equities, the Fund reduced exposure to both developed and emerging markets over the period. In developed markets, the Fund reduced exposure to North America, Japan, and the United Kingdom, while increasing exposure to both core and peripheral European equities. In emerging markets, the Fund moved from an overall long stance to a more bearish positioning, with outright short positions in Chinese equities. From a sector perspective, the Fund reduced exposure to technology, consumer staples, and materials, increased short exposure to energy, and increased exposure to health care and transportation stocks.

•

The Fund actively managed sensitivity to fixed income as markets experienced heightened volatility. After initially increasing fixed income exposure, the Fund gradually reduced this position and finished the period with significantly less exposure to fixed income assets, primarily through a decreased weighting in international bonds. Within currencies, the Fund significantly increased long exposure to the U.S. dollar and correspondingly shorted Asian and commodity-sensitive currencies.

•

In terms of alternative asset classes, the Fund reduced exposure to commodities during the period and tactically traded both volatility products and crude oil to take advantage of extreme market movements. In addition, toward the end of the period, the Fund initiated long positions in gold and silver as diversifiers for the broader portfolio.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

At the end of the period, the Fund’s risk (including derivatives) was diversified across equity 32%, fixed income 7%, cash and foreign exchange 56%, commodities 3%, and volatility strategies 3%. Geographically, the portfolio was allocated in Europe 45%, North America 15%, Emerging Markets 27%, Global Diversified 9%, and Japan 4%. Overall, the portfolio was positioned defensively with lower risk relative to historical averages, lower sensitivity to equity markets due to targeted short exposures versus longs, and generally low sensitivity to interest rate risk.

For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366. The fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests are not included in the Fund’s annualized expense ratio.

⁹

Hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by prorating the number of days in the most recent fiscal period divided by 366.

See “Disclosure of Expenses” on page 14 for further information on how expenses were calculated.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance yield and net asset value (“NAV”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund may utilize leverage by entering into reverse repurchase agreements. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund shareholders, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other ongoing costs of leverage exceed BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund had not used leverage.

Furthermore, the value of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can also influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund performance from leverage. Changes in the direction of interest rates are difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.

The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s NAV and distribution rates than a comparable fund that does not use leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV of BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s shares than if BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund were not leveraged. In addition, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund shareholders and may reduce income.


About Fund Performance

•

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% for BlackRock Commodity Strategies Fund and BlackRock Macro Themes Fund and 4.00% for BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund. These shares are subject to 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 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 pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend/payable 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, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, each Fund’s performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements. The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waiver and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of the Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, 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, 2015 and held through January 31, 2016) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the headings entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect 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 the Funds can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

BlackRock Funds^SM (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. The following are referred to herein collectively as the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”:


Fund Name	Herein Referred To As	Diversification Classification
BlackRock Commodity Strategies Fund	Commodity Strategies	Non-diversified
BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund	Global Long/Short Credit	Diversified
BlackRock Macro Themes Fund	Macro Themes	Non-diversified

Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that certain classes bear expenses related to the shareholder servicing and distribution of such shares. Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.

Institutional Shares

None

Investor A Shares

Yes

None

Investor C Shares

Investor A Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase.

The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by the BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Commodity Strategies and Macro Themes include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Commodity Strategies Fund, Ltd. (“Cayman Commodity Strategies”) and BlackRock Cayman Macro Themes Fund, Ltd. (“Cayman Macro Themes”) (the “Subsidiaries”), respectively, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of each respective Fund and primarily invest in commodity-related instruments and other derivatives. The Subsidiaries enable the Funds to hold these commodity-related instruments and other derivatives and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its respective Subsidiary. The accompanying Consolidated Schedules of Investments and consolidated financial statements of each Fund include the positions and accounts, respectively, of its Subsidiary. The net assets of Cayman Commodity Strategies at January 31, 2016 were $1 representing 0.0% of Commodity Strategies’ consolidated net assets. The net assets of Cayman Macro Themes at January 31, 2016 were $5,896,449 representing 21.7% of Macro Themes’ consolidated net assets. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiaries are subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Funds, except that the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

The following table shows a summary of the selected financial information of Cayman Macro Themes included in the consolidated financial statements:

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Foreign Currency: Each Fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the investments denominated in that currency will lose value; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.

Each Fund does not isolate changes in the exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in 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 are reported 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.

Defensive Positions: Investment policies may vary for temporary defensive purposes during periods in which the investment advisor believes that conditions in the securities markets or other economic, financial or political conditions warrant. Under such conditions, a Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in, U.S. Government securities, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements that involve purchases of debt securities, bankers’ acceptances and other bank obligations, commercial paper, money market funds and/or other debt securities, or may hold its assets in cash. The investment advisor applies this defensive posture as applicable and consistent with each Fund prospectus.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps and short sales) or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase transactions) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, a Fund may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment or borrowing to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/ deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. 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 Funds are 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.


86		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Subsidiaries are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiaries in any taxable year, the loss will generally not be available to offset the Funds’ ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.

Offering Costs: Offering costs are amortized over a 12-month period beginning with the commencement of operations.

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Funds, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Funds have an arrangement with their 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. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:

Investment Valuation Policies: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) (or if the reporting date falls on a day the NYSE is closed, investments are valued at fair value as of the report date). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.

Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods (or “techniques”) and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:

•

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close price 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.

•

Bond investments are valued 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.

•

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. 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.

•

Commodity-Linked Notes are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers. The Funds’ pricing service utilizes valuation models, which incorporate a number of transaction specific data factors, such as the performance return multiple and upfront interest paid, as well as the price of the underlying index.

•

Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value each business day.


		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016		87


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

•

The Funds value their investment in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Funds may withdraw up to 25% of their investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

•

Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale 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 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.

•

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. OTC options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

•

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.

If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, or in the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant 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 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 each Fund’s 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 Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

•

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund has the ability to access

•

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs)

•

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including each Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)


88		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments are typically categorized as Level 3. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments have been included in the Schedules of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with each Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value 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 investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

4. Securities and Other Investments:

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, a Fund may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If a Fund has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

For mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”) there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued by non-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject to various risks. Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.

Collateralized Debt Obligations: Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), include collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), are types of asset-backed securities. A CDO is an entity that is backed by a diversified pool of debt securities (CBOs) or syndicated bank loans (CLOs). The cash flows of the CDO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CDO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive investment grade ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds: Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities: Multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities may be issued by Ginnie Mae, U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of,

or investors in, mortgage loans. In general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by, a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or Mortgage Assets. The payments on these are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in the Mortgage Assets. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund’s initial investment in the IOs may not fully recoup.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (IOs) and principal (POs) distributions on a pool of Mortgage Assets. A Fund also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.

Commodity-Linked Notes: Commodity-linked notes to provide exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets, without investing directly in commodities. In a commodity-linked note, a Fund purchases a note and, in return, the issuer typically provides for an interest payment and a principal payment at maturity linked to the price movement of the underlying commodity index less an agreed-upon fee. These notes may be issued by U.S. and foreign banks, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other corporations. In addition to credit, interest rate and counterparty risk typically associated with traditional debt investments, commodity-linked notes are subject to risks affecting the underlying commodity index. The value of the commodity-linked notes may fluctuate by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying benchmark, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The commodity-linked notes have an automatic redemption feature if the underlying index declines from the original trade date by the amount specified in the agreement. A Fund has the option to request prepayment from the issuer at any time.

Capital Securities and Trust Preferred Securities: Capital securities, including trust preferred securities, are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or in the case of trust preferred securities, by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. For trust preferred securities, the issuing bank or corporation pays interest to the trust, which is then distributed to holders of the trust preferred securities as a dividend. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. These securities generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities and are freely callable at the issuer’s option.

Preferred Stock: Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Floating Rate Loan Interests: Floating rate loan interests are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, or privately and publicly offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. A Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, transactions in floating rate loan interests may settle on a delayed basis, which may result to proceeds from the sale to not be readily available for a Fund to make additional investments or meet its redemption obligations. Floating rate loan interests may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. These investments are treated as investments in debt securities for purposes of a Fund’s investment policies.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

When a Fund purchases a floating rate loan interest, it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest, it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by a Fund upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. A Fund may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in a Fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. A Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, a Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower. A Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, a Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. A Fund’s investment in loan participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and a Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

In connection with floating rate loan interests, a Fund may also enter into unfunded floating rate loan interests (“commitments”). In connection with these commitments, Global Long/Short Credit earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. Unfunded floating rate loan interests are marked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations. As of period end, Global Long/Short Credit had the following unfunded floating rate loan interests:


Borrower	Par	Commitment Balance	Value	Unrealized Depreciation
Telenet International Finance SA, Term Loan AA	$9,610,000	$10,731,624	$10,097,001	$(634,623)

Borrowed Bond Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into borrowed bond agreements. In a borrowed bond agreement, the Funds borrow a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral. The borrowed bond agreement contains a commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Funds at a mutually agreed upon date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Borrowed bond agreements are entered into primarily in connection with short sales of bonds. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Funds and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. The Funds may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements with qualified third party broker dealers in which a Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. A Fund receives cash from the sale to use for other investment purposes. During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund continues to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. A Fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk. If a Fund suffers a loss on its investment of the transaction proceeds from a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund would still be required to pay the full repurchase price. Further, a Fund remains subject to the risk that the market value of the securities repurchased declines below the repurchase price. In such cases, a Fund would be required to return a portion of the cash received from the transaction or provide additional securities to the counterparty.

Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest due to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at face value including accrued interest. Due to the short- term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. Interest payments made by a Fund to the counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to a Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the average amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate for Global Long/Short Credit were $11,952,872 and (0.82)%, respectively.

Borrowed bond agreements and reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”), which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds. With borrowed bond agreements and reverse repurchase transactions, typically the Funds and the counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Funds receive or post securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Funds upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Funds are considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed.

As of period end, the following table is a summary of Global Long/Short Credit’s open borrowed bond agreements and reverse repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MRA on a net basis:

Includes accrued interest on borrowed bonds in the amount of $11,449,773 which is included in interest expense payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Net exposure represents the net receivable (payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default.

When the Funds enter into an MRA and an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) and/or Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”) with the same counterparty, the agreements may contain a set-off provision allowing a fund to offset a net amount payable with a net amount receivable upon default 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. For example, regardless of the contractual rights included in an MRA, such laws may prohibit the Funds from setting off amounts owed to a defaulting counterparty under an MRA against amounts owed to the Funds by affiliates of the defaulting counterparty. However, the insolvency regimes of many jurisdictions generally permit set-off of simultaneous payables and receivables with the same legal entity under certain types of financial contracts. These rules would apply upon a default of the legal entity, regardless of the existence of a contractual set-off right in those contracts.

In the event the counterparty of securities under an MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds from the agreement may be restricted while the counterparty, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities.

Short Sales (Borrowed Bonds): Certain Funds may enter into short sale transactions in which the Funds sell a security they do not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When the Funds make a short sale, they will borrow the security sold short (borrowed bond) and deliver the security to the counterparty to which they sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the Funds is reflected as an


92		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Funds are required to repay the counterparty interest on the security sold short, which is shown as interest expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security increases beyond the market value at which the position was sold. Thus, a short sale of a security involves the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. The short sale of securities involves the possibility of a theoretically unlimited loss since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of the security sold short to increase. A gain, limited to the price at which the Funds sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is either less than or greater than the proceeds originally received. There is no assurance the Funds will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

Short Sales (Investments Sold Short): Certain Funds may enter into short sale transactions in which the Funds sell a security they do not hold in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When the Funds make a short sale, they will borrow the security sold short from a broker/ counterparty and deliver the security to the purchaser. To close out a short position, the Funds deliver the same security to the broker and record a liability to reflect the obligation to return the security to the broker. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Funds maintain a segregated account of securities or deposit cash with the broker-dealer as collateral for the short sales. Cash deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedules of Investments. The Funds may pay a financing fee for the difference between the market value of the short position and the cash collateral deposited with the broker which would be recorded as interest expense. The Funds are required to repay the counterparty any dividends received on the security sold short, which is shown as dividend expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds may pay a fee on the assets borrowed from the counterparty, which is shown as stock loan fees in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security increases beyond the market value at which the position was sold. Thus, a short sale of a security involves the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. The short sale of securities involves the possibility of a theoretically unlimited loss since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of the security sold short to increase. A gain, limited to the price at which the Funds sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is either less than or greater than the proceeds originally received. There is no assurance the Funds will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price.

Securities Lending: Certain Funds may lend their securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Funds collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by a Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral is returned by the Fund, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of any securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments, and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value — unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under MSLAs which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Funds, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

As of period end, the following table is a summary of the Funds’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:


Commodity Strategies
Counterparty	Securities Loaned at Value		Cash Collateral Received¹		Net Amount
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC		$190,969		$(190,969)	—
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.		33,967		(33,967)	—
SG Americas Securities LLC		114,550		(114,550)	—

Total		$339,486		$(339,486)	—


Macro Themes
Counterparty
Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.		$511,075		$(511,075)	—

Collateral with a value of $459,321 and $508,486 has been received by Commodity Strategies and Macro Themes, respectively, in connection with securities lending agreements. Collateral received in excess of the value of securities loaned from the individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes in the table above.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage economically their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Financial Futures Contracts: Certain 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 interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange 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 (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 rates or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Options: Certain Funds purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including credit risk and/or equity risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised) the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Funds purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Funds is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Funds enter into a closing transaction), the Funds realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Funds write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Funds hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Funds write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

Options on swaps (“swaptions”) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swaptions is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.

The Funds also purchase or sell listed or OTC foreign currency options, foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). When foreign currency is purchased or sold through an exercise of a foreign currency option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the foreign currency acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the foreign currency sold (receipts from the foreign currency purchased). Such transactions may be effected with respect to hedges on non-U.S. dollar denominated instruments owned by the Funds but not yet delivered, or committed or anticipated to be purchased by the Funds.

In purchasing and writing options, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing or selling a security when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.

Swaps: Certain 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.

•

Credit default swaps — Certain Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occur. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either (i) receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or (ii) receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

•

Total return swaps — Certain Funds enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security 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 or commodity prices) (equity risk, commodity price risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Certain Funds enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities without owning such securities. Under the terms of an agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity. This means that each Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investment in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits (“financing fees”) related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on a specified benchmark rate plus or minus a specified spread determined based upon the country and/or currency of the positions in the portfolio. A change in the market value of a total return swap is included in change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps in the Statements of Operations. Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing fees are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing fees become available for cash settlement between the Funds and the swap counterparty. The amounts that are available for cash settlement are included in realized gains (losses) on swaps in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an ISDA Master Agreement between the Funds and the counterparty. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time.

•

Variance swap agreements — Certain Funds enter into variance swap agreements to gain or mitigate exposure to the underlying reference securities. Variance swap agreements involve two parties agreeing to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price is generally chosen such that the fair value of the swap is zero. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, each Fund would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance, each Fund would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

•

Interest rate swaps — Certain Funds enter into interest rate swaps to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds, which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

•

Forward interest rate swaps — Certain Funds enter into forward interest rate swaps and forward total return swaps. In a forward swap, the Fund and the counterparty agree to make either periodic net payments beginning on a specified future effective date or a net payment at termination, unless terminated earlier.

Master Netting Arrangements: In order to better define the Funds’ contractual rights and to secure rights that will help them 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 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 Fund 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, a Fund’s counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A Fund generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, a Fund may pay interest pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. 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 stands 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. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required to all derivative contracts.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Manager, with the respect to each Fund, voluntarily agreed to waive its management fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. This amount is included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. However, the Manager does not waive its management fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Manager waived $3,113, $193,560 and $1,051 for Commodity Strategies, Global Long/Short Credit and Macro Themes, respectively.

For Commodity Strategies and Macro Themes, the Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiaries. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiaries for providing investment management or administrative services. However, Commodity Strategies and Macro Themes pay the Manager based on the Funds’ net assets, which includes the assets of the Subsidiaries.

With respect to each Fund, the Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. With respect to Global Long/Short Credit, the Manager has also entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BRS”), which is also an affiliate of the Manager.

Securities Lending

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Funds are responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Funds.

Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).

Pursuant to such agreement, the Funds retain 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across certain funds in the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds a specified threshold, the Funds, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income. The share of securities lending income earned by the Funds is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, Commodity Strategies, Global Long/Short Credit and Macro Themes paid BIM $10,868, $0 and $27 for securities lending agent services, respectively.

Officers and Trustees Fees

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and trustees in the Statements of Operations.

Interfund Transactions

Global Long/Short Credit and Macro Themes may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

8. Income Tax Information:

It is the Funds’ 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 Commodity Strategies’ and Global Long/Short Credit’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the three years ended July 31, 2015 and the period ended July 31, 2012. The statute of limitations on Macro Themes’ U.S. federal tax return remains open for the period ended July 31, 2015. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of January 31, 2016, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

As of period end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, with no expiration dates, available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:



	Commodity Strategies			Global Long/Short Credit			Macro Themes
No expiration date		$	109,797,492		$	130,238,700		$	21,315

As of period end, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

9. Bank Borrowings:

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2016 unless extended or renewed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which, if applicable, are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements 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, 2016, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.

10. Principal Risks:

In the normal course of business, certain Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer to meet all its obligations, including the ability to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers of securities owned by the Funds. Changes arising from the general economy, the overall market and local, regional or global political and/or social instability, as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations, may also affect the securities’ value.

Each Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force each Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Fund’s portfolio will decline if each Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed income securities at market interest rates that are below each Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

A derivative contract may suffer 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 Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain less the value of any collateral held by such Fund.

For OTC options purchased, each Fund bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Funds should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Funds, and not the counterparty, to perform. The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to options written to the extent the Funds deposit collateral with their counterparty to a written option.

With exchange-traded options purchased and 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). 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 Funds.

Concentration Risk: Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.

Commodity Strategies invests a significant portion of its assets in securities in the materials and energy sectors. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on Commodity Strategies and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

Global Long/Short Credit invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When Global Long/Short Credit concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on its 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.

Global Long/Short Credit 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 Global Long/Short Credit’s investments.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016

Investment Objective

BlackRock Short Obligations Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index.

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Fund’s relative outperformance was principally attributable to its overweight position within credit sectors relative to the benchmark. In addition, the Fund had a slightly underweight stance with respect to overall portfolio duration (and corresponding sensitivity to changes in interest rates) relative to the benchmark in anticipation of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December 16 rate hike, which further contributed to Fund performance.

•

Conversely, the Fund’s longer duration positioning within credit instruments detracted from returns as market volatility increased.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

Over the period, the Fund’s portfolio positioning was held relatively constant.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

•

At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight in credit instruments and variable rate securities, and retained a shorter duration than the benchmark.

About Fund Performance

•

Class K and 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. Prior to July 9, 2013, the Fund’s Institutional Shares performance results are those of BlackRock Shares restated to reflect Institutional Shares fees. On the close of business on September 1, 2015, all of the issued and outstanding BlackRock Shares of the Fund were redesignated as Class K Shares.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer 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 the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of these distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend/payable 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 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 continue waiving or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of the agreement. See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements. The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of the Fund may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, and other fund expenses. The expense examples on the previous pages (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested on August 1, 2015 and held through January 31, 2016) are 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 Fund and 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 the Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical example that appear in shareholder reports of other Funds.

The expenses shown in the expense example is intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical example is 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.

14		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

BlackRock Funds^SM (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 Short Obligations Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust. The Fund is classified as diversified.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares are sold without a sales charge and only to certain eligible investors and have equal voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that only shares of the respective classes are entitled to vote on matters concerning only that class.

The Fund, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Fund or its classes are charged to the Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Fund and other shared expenses prorated 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 its custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the 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. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:

Investment Valuation Policies: The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or if the reporting date falls on a day the NYSE is closed, investments are valued at fair value as of the report date). 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 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.


		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016		15


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods (or “techniques”) and inputs are used to establish the fair value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities:

•

Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day.

If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, or in the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that the 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 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 Fund’s 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 Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

•

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access

•

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)

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 significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments are typically categorized as Level 3. The fair value hierarchy for the Fund’s investments has been included in the Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Securities and Other Investments:

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Fund may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Fund has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.

For mortgage pass through securities there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.

Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements are commitments to purchase a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed upon repurchase amount. Pursuant to the custodial undertaking associated with a tri-party repo arrangement, an unaffiliated third party custodian maintains accounts to hold collateral for the Fund and its counterparties. Typically, the Fund and counterparty are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral absent a default by the counterparty or the Fund, respectively.

In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Fund could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables with collateral held by and/or posted to the counterparty. As a result, one single net payment is created. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Based on the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price at maturity. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral. The liability reflects the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.


		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016		17


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investment Advisory Fees

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 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 the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:


Average Daily Net Assets	Investment Advisory Fee
First $1 Billion		0.25	%
$1 billion - $3 Billion		0.24	%
$3 billion - $5 Billion		0.23	%
$5 billion - $10 Billion		0.22	%
Greater than $10 Billion		0.21	%

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. These amounts are included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statement of Operations. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Fund’s investments in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Manager reimbursed $390, which is included in fees waived by the Manager the Statement of Operations.

Other Fees

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 Manager maintains a call center, that is responsible for providing certain shareholder services to the Fund. Shareholder services include responding to inquiries and processing subscriptions and redemptions based upon instructions from shareholders. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Fund reimbursed the Manager the following amounts for costs incurred in running the call center, which are included in transfer agent — class specific in the Statement of Operations.


Class K	$	17
Institutional	$	52

For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the following table shows the class specific transfer agent fees borne directly by each class of the Fund:


Class K	$	100
Institutional	$	57

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Administration Agreement with the Manager, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide administrative services. For these services, the Manager receives an administration fee computed daily and payable monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The administration fee, which is shown as administration in the Statement of Operations, is paid at the annual rates below.


Average Daily Net Assets	Administration Fee
First $500 Million		0.0425	%
$500 Million - $1 Billion		0.0400	%
$1 Billion - $2 Billion		0.0375	%
$2 Billion - $4 Billion		0.0350	%
$4 Billion - $13 Billion		0.0325	%
Greater than $13 Billion		0.0300	%

In addition, the Manager charges each of the share classes an administration fee, which is shown as administration — class specific in the Statement of Operations, at an annual rate of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.


18		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the following table shows the class specific administration fees borne directly by each class of the Fund:


Class K	$	4,558
Institutional	$	1,028

The Manager may have, at its discretion, voluntarily waived all or any portion of its administration fees for the Fund or a share class, which are included administration fees waived and administration fees waived — class specific in the Statement of Operations.

Expense Limitations, Waivers and Recoupments

The Manager, with respect to the Fund, contractually or voluntarily 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 expense limitations as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:


	Contractual¹			Voluntary^2,3
Class K		0.30	%		0.10	%
Institutional		0.35	%		0.20	%

The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue this contractual waiver or reimbursement prior to December 1, 2016 unless approved by the Board, including a majority of the independent trustees, or by a vote of majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

The voluntary waiver or reimbursement may be reduced or discontinued at any time.

Prior to December 17, 2012, the Fund had a voluntary expense cap of 0.25% and from December 17, 2012 to January 22, 2013 a voluntary expense cap of 0.18% with respect to Class K shares.

These amounts waived or reimbursed are included in fees waived by the Manager and shown as administration fees waived, administration fees waived — class specific, transfer agent fees waived — class specific, transfer agent fees reimbursed — class specific and expenses reimbursed by the Manager, respectively, in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Manager waived $69,295 of investment advisory fees, which is included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statement of Operations. The Manager reimbursed expenses, which are shown as expenses reimbursed by the Manager in the Statement of Operations.

Class specific waivers or reimbursements are as follows:


Administration Fees Waived
Class K			$4,535

Transfer Agent Fees Waived
Class K			$51

Transfer Agent Fees Reimbursed
Class K			$46

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.


		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016		19


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Manager recouped waivers and/or reimbursements previously recorded of $4 for Institutional Shares.

On January 31, 2016, the Fund level and class specific waivers and/or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:


	Expiring July 31,
	2016		2017		2018
Fund Level	$	205,526	$	200,721	$	116,575
Class K	$	3,826	$	4,291	$	4,632

Officers and Trustees Fees

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 Statement of Operations.

6. Purchases and Sales:

For the six months ended January 31, 2016, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were $19,382,596 and $23,249,023, respectively.

7. Income Tax Information:

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 each of the two years ended July 31, 2015 and the period ended July 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 as of January 31, 2016, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.

As of period end, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Tax cost	$	37,018,279

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	11,958
Gross unrealized depreciation		(39,216	)

Net unrealized depreciation	$	(27,258	)

8. 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, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Fund may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds, the Participating Funds, including the Fund, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2016 unless extended or renewed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which, if applicable, 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, 2016, the Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement.

9. Principal Risks:

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 to meet all its obligations, including the ability to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers of securities owned by the Fund.


20		BLACKROCK SHORT OBLIGATIONS FUND		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

Changes arising from the general economy, the overall market and local, regional or global political or/and social instability, as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations, may also affect the securities’ value.

The Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. The Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline if the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed income securities at market interest rates that are below the Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.

Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Fund manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the 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 approximately their value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.

Concentration Risk: The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed-income securities and/or uses derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.

10. Capital Share Transactions:

Transactions in capital shares for each class were as follows:


	Six Months Ended January 31, 2016						Year Ended July 31, 2015

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016			BlackRock Multi-Asset Real Return Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Multi-Asset Real Return Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to generate returns in excess of the actual rate of inflation over a complete market cycle.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund underperformed both benchmarks, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) Index and the U.S. Consumer Price Index.

What factors influenced performance?

•

Broad-based exposure to commodities via swaps on the S&P GSCI Commodity Index and the Bloomberg Brent Crude Commodity Sub-Index, Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) and an energy exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) were the most significant detractors from performance during the period. In addition, an allocation to U.S. equities weighed on returns, particularly overweight positions to the financials and health care sectors, an equity wage thematic basket (i.e., stocks positioned to benefit from a stronger labor market and rising wages in the United States), and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Fixed-income allocations similarly hindered performance, including an allocation to floating-rate loans. Lastly, credit default swaps used to gain exposure to the high yield and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) markets weighed on returns.

•

Exposure to the iShares Gold ETF added to performance as assets flowed into the commodity amid financial market distress.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

Over the six-month period, the Fund reduced overall exposure to equities, specifically health care and financials stocks, although this was

partially offset by an increased allocation to an equity wage thematic basket. Within fixed income, the Fund increased exposure to TIPS, floating rate loans and high yield swaps. Within commodities, overall exposure was modestly lowered by reducing allocations to commodity swaps. However, the Fund increased exposure to gold and MLPs during the period. Across real estate, the Fund introduced a CMBS credit default swap and left its allocation in REITs largely unchanged.

•

The Fund employs derivatives as part of its investment strategy. At the end of the period, derivative positions included total return swaps on the S&P GSCI Commodity Index and Bloomberg Brent Crude Commodity Sub-Index, to gain broad commodity and oil-related exposure, respectively. These derivative positions detracted from performance as commodities generally moved lower over the period. The Fund also held U.S. duration derivative positions as well as high yield and CMBS credit default swaps. These positions also detracted from overall performance.

•

During the period, cash was used as collateral for derivative positions, including commodity and credit swaps. The Fund’s cash position did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

•

At period end, the Fund was diversified across the following asset classes: TIPS, floating rate loans, high yield, equities, commodities, real estate, MLPs and cash.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2016			BlackRock Strategic Risk Allocation Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Strategic Risk Allocation Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek total return.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

•

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2016, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, a blend of 60% MSCI World Index Hedged USD Net/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned (5.09)%.

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Fund has a global multi-asset strategy designed to balance sources of risk and return more optimally than traditional asset allocation portfolios. The Fund will determine the appropriate allocation across classes by seeking a balance of exposure to risks such as interest rate, credit, inflation, liquidity, economic and emerging market risks.

•

The Fund’s commodities exposure had the most significant negative impact on the Fund’s return for the period, driven in large part by a sharp decline in crude oil prices. Developed market small-cap equities and emerging market equities were the next largest detractors, while developed market large-cap equities and investment grade debt also hindered performance.

•

On the positive side, exposure to developed market sovereign debt added to performance. This was the only positive contributor for the period as risk-based assets broadly sold off during the period as investors moved into “safe-haven” assets such as government bonds.

•

The Fund uses derivatives as a part of its investment strategy. Derivatives are used by the Fund as a means of taking long-term positions in global markets and to

achieve and/or manage various risk exposures, which may include economic, interest rate, emerging markets, credit, inflation and liquidity risks. The Fund’s derivatives positions, in particular swaps designed to protect against any rapid rise in U.S. interest rates, had a negative impact on returns as rates declined over much of the period. This negative impact was somewhat offset by foreign currency transactions.

•

The Fund held cash in reserve in order to meet any potential margin calls. The cash balance did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

From a broad perspective, the decision was made in mid-October to return the Fund to its full risk level, as the sources of uncertainty that led to the de-risking in July appeared to have eased. However, investor sentiment again deteriorated as equities dropped sharply to start 2016, and the Fund reduced risk across all assets in early January. Sources of concern included increased uncertainty with respect to geopolitical risks and its impact on oil prices, confusion around foreign exchange policy and equity market controls in China, and early signs of a global economic slowdown.

Describe Fund positioning at period end.

•

At period end, the Fund continued to seek to deliver total returns by balancing risks between bonds, equities and diversifying strategies. At the end of the period, the portfolio was underweight exposure to real (i.e., after inflation) interest rates, based on the view that real rates are likely to experience low returns and higher volatility as global interest rate expectations start to rise. The Fund remains balanced and continues to have protection in place against possible spikes in U.S. interest rates. Equities and fixed income each represented about 41% of total risk, with the remaining 17% of risk represented by volatility and commodities allocations.

About Fund Performance

•

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.

•

Figures shown in the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value 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. 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, has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the Funds’ expenses. Without such waiver and/or reimbursement, the Funds’ performance would have been lower. The Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses 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, 2015 and held through January 31, 2016) 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

BlackRock Multi-Asset Real Return Fund	Multi-Asset Real Return	Diversified
BlackRock Strategic Risk Allocation Fund	Strategic Risk Allocation	Non-diversified

Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that each share class bears certain expenses and may have a conversion privilege as outlined below. Institutional Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures.

Investor A Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for certain redemptions where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase.

As of January 31, 2016, Strategic Risk Allocation’s investment in BlackRock Liquidity Funds, TempFund was 37% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of BlackRock Liquidity Funds, TempFund, including the Schedules of Investments, can be read in conjunction with Strategic Risk Allocation’s financial statements. BlackRock Liquidity Funds, TempFund financial statements are included in filings under BlackRock Liquidity Funds, which are available, without charge, on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at http://www.sec.gov.

The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of open-end funds referred to as the Equity-Liquidity Complex.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Multi-Asset Real Return and Strategic Risk Allocation include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Multi-Asset Real Return Fund Ltd. (“Cayman Multi-Asset Real Return”) and BlackRock Cayman Strategic Risk Allocation Fund Ltd. (“Cayman Strategic Risk Allocation”) (the “Subsidiaries”), which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the respective Fund and primarily invest in commodity-related instruments and other derivatives. The Subsidiaries enable the Funds to hold these commodity-related instruments and other derivatives and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets measured at the time of investment in its respective Subsidiary. The net assets of Cayman Multi-Asset Real Return as of period end were $5,056,483, which is 10.3% of Multi-Asset Real Return’s consolidated net assets. The net assets of Cayman Strategic Risk Allocation as of period end were $2,775,995, which is 9.5% of Strategic Risk Allocation’s consolidated net assets. The accompanying Consolidated Schedules of Investments and consolidated financial statements of each Fund include the positions and accounts, respectively, of its Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiaries are subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the Funds, except that the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

The following table shows a summary of the selected financial information of each Subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements:

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 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. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting polices:

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 exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Consolidated 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. Realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions are reported 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.

Defensive Positions: Investment policies may vary for temporary defensive purposes during periods in which the investment advisor believes that conditions in the securities markets or other economic, financial or political conditions warrant. Under such conditions, a Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in U.S. Government securities, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements that involve purchases of debt securities, bankers’ acceptances and other bank obligations, commercial paper, money market funds and/or other debt securities, or may hold its assets in cash. The Manager applies this defensive posture as applicable and consistent with each Fund prospectus.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written and swaps) that would be treated as “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, a Fund may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid assets having a market value at least equal to the amount of its future obligations under such investments. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. 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.

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

The Funds have an arrangement with their 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 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. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:

Investment Valuation Policies: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the consolidated financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) (or if the reporting date falls on a day the NYSE is closed, investments are valued at fair value as of the report date). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.

Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods (or “techniques”) and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:

•

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. Each business day, the Funds use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

•

Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value each business day.

•

The Funds value their investment in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC, Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon its pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments may follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Funds may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

•

Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.

•

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in 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.

•

OTC options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

•

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund has the ability to access

•

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 significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments are typically categorized as Level 3. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments and derivative instruments have been included in the Consolidated Schedules of Investments.

of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

4. Securities and Other Investments:

Inflation-Indexed Bonds: Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Funds collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral is returned by the Fund, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Funds are entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks in the Funds’ Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value — unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Funds, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.

As of period end, the following table is a summary of Multi-Asset Real Return securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage economically their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risk (e.g., inflation 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 interest rates (interest rate risk) or 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 Consolidated Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Consolidated 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 (depreciation) and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for the variation margin in the Consolidated 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. 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.

Options: The Funds purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including interest rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Funds purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Funds are reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Funds enter into a closing transaction), the Funds realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Funds write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Funds hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Funds write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.


		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016		43


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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.

•

Credit default swaps — The Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occur. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either (i) receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or (ii) receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

•

Total return swaps — The Funds enter into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security 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 or commodity prices) (equity risk, commodity price risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Funds will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

•

Total return swaps (basket swaps) — The Funds enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities without owning such securities. Under the terms of an agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long


44		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

and short equity. This means that each Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investment in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits (“financing fees”) related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on a specified benchmark rate plus or minus a specified spread determined based upon the country and/or currency of the positions in the portfolio. A change in the market value of a total return swap is included in change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing fees are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing fees become available for cash settlement between the Funds and the swap counterparty. The amounts that are available for cash settlement are included in realized gains (losses) on swaps in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) between the Funds and the counterparty. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time.

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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, a Fund’s counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A Fund generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, a Fund may pay interest pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. 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 stands 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. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required to all derivative contracts.

6. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) for 1940 Act purposes.

Investment Advisory Fees

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with 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 personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such

Greater than $10 Billion	0.51%	0.64%

The Manager, with respect to each Fund, voluntarily agreed to waive its management fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. In addition, for Multi-Asset Real Return, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee on assets estimated to be attributed to the Fund’s investments in other equity and fixed income mutual funds managed by BlackRock or its affiliates. These amounts are included in fees waived by the Manager in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, for Strategic Risk Allocation, the Manager does not waive its management fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with the Fund’s investments in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the amounts waived were as follows:


Multi-Asset Real Return	$	31,596
Strategic Risk Allocation	$	4,801

The Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiaries. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiaries for providing investment management or administrative services. However, the Funds pay the Manager based on the Funds’ net assets, which includes the assets of the Subsidiaries.

The Manager, with respect to each Fund, entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. With respect to Multi-Asset Real Return, the Manager has also entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BRS”), which is also an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIL and BRS, as applicable, for services they provide a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds to the Manager.

Service and Distribution Fees

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the relevant share class of each Fund as follows:

If during a Fund’s fiscal year the operating expenses of a share class, that at any time during the prior two fiscal years received a waiver and/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 and/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) each 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 a 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 and/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 January 31, 2016, the Fund level and class specific waivers and/or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:

Securities Lending

Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. Each Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).

Pursuant to such agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across certain funds in the Equity-Liquidity Complex in a calendar year exceeds a specified threshold, each Fund, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income.

The share of securities lending income earned by each Fund is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, Multi-Asset Real Return paid BIM $167 for securities lending agent services.

Net unrealized depreciation	$	(2,044,856	)	$	(2,076,694	)

9. Bank Borrowings:

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is a party to a 364-day, $2.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in April 2016 unless extended or renewed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which, if applicable, are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Consolidated Statements 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, 2016, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.

10. Principal Risks:

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, including to pay principal and interest when due (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. Changes arising from the general economy, the overall market and local, regional or global political and/or social instability, as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations, may also affect the securities’ value.

Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Funds manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain less the value of 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;


50		BLACKROCK FUNDS		JANUARY 31, 2016


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.

Concentration Risk: The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates.
