Dear
Shareholder,
The
12-month
reporting
period
as
of
July
31,
2022
saw
the
emergence
of
significant
challenges
that
disrupted
the
economic
recovery
and
strong
financial
markets.
The
U.S.
economy
shrank
in
the
first
half
of
2022,
ending
the
run
of
robust
growth
that
followed
the
reopening
of
global
economies
and
the
development
of
COVID-19
vaccines.
Changes
in
consumer
spending
patterns
and
a
tight
labor
market
led
to
elevated
inflation,
which
reached
a
40-year
high.
Moreover,
while
the
foremost
effect
of
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
has
been
a
severe
humanitarian
crisis,
the
ongoing
war
continued
to
present
challenges
for
both
investors
and
policymakers.
Equity
prices
fell
as
interest
rates
rose,
particularly
weighing
on
relatively
high-valuation
growth
stocks
and
economically
sensitive
small-capitalization
stocks.
While
both
large-
and
small-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
fell,
declines
for
small-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
were
steeper.
Both
emerging
market
stocks
and
international
equities
from
developed
markets
fell
significantly,
pressured
by
rising
interest
rates
and
a
strengthening
U.S.
dollar.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
(which
is
inversely
related
to
bond
prices)
rose
notably
during
the
reporting
period
as
investors
reacted
to
higher
inflation
and
attempted
to
anticipate
its
impact
on
future
interest
rate
changes.
The
corporate
bond
market
also
faced
inflationary
headwinds,
and
increasing
uncertainty
led
to
higher
corporate
bond
spreads
(the
difference
in
yield
between
U.S.
Treasuries
and
similarly-dated
corporate
bonds).
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
acknowledging
that
inflation
is
growing
faster
than
expected,
raised
interest
rates
four
times
while
indicating
that
additional
rate
hikes
were
likely.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
wound
down
its
bond-buying
programs
and
began
to
reduce
its
balance
sheet.
Continued
high
inflation
and
the
Fed’s
statements
led
many
analysts
to
anticipate
that
interest
rates
have
room
to
rise
before
peaking,
although
investors’
inflation
expectations
began
to
decline
near
the
end
of
the
period.
The
horrific
war
in
Ukraine
has
significantly
clouded
the
outlook
for
the
global
economy,
leading
to
major
volatility
in
energy
and
metals
markets.
Sanctions
on
Russia,
Europe’s
top
energy
supplier,
and
general
wartime
disruption
have
magnified
supply
problems
for
key
commodities.
We
believe
elevated
energy
prices
will
continue
to
exacerbate
inflationary
pressure
while
also
constraining
economic
growth.
Combating
inflation
without
stifling
a
recovery,
while
buffering
against
ongoing
supply
and
price
shocks,
will
be
an
especially
challenging
environment
for
setting
effective
monetary
policy.
Despite
the
likelihood
of
more
rate
increases
on
the
horizon,
we
believe
the
Fed
will
ultimately
err
on
the
side
of
protecting
employment,
even
at
the
expense
of
higher
inflation.
In
the
meantime,
however,
we
believe
that
we
are
likely
to
see
a
period
of
slowing
growth
paired
with
relatively
high
inflation.
In
this
environment,
while
we
favor
an
overweight
to
equities
in
the
long-term,
the
market’s
concerns
over
excessive
rate
hikes
from
central
banks
moderate
our
outlook.
Furthermore,
the
energy
shock
and
a
deteriorating
economic
backdrop
in
China
and
Europe
are
likely
to
challenge
corporate
earnings,
so
we
are
underweight
equities
overall
in
the
near-term.
We
take
the
opposite
view
on
credit,
where
higher
spreads
provide
near-term
opportunities,
while
the
likelihood
of
higher
inflation
leads
us
to
take
an
underweight
stance
on
credit
in
the
long-term.
We
believe
that
investment-grade
corporates,
U.K.
gilts,
local-currency
emerging
market
debt,
and
inflation-protected
bonds
(particularly
in
Europe)
offer
strong
opportunities
for
a
six-
to
twelve-month
horizon.
Overall,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
extend
their
scope
across
a
broad
array
of
asset
classes,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.

encourage
you

Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
July
31,
2022,
all
of
the
Fund’s
share
classes
outperformed
its
reference
benchmark,
a
blend
of
60%
MSCI
World
Index
Hedged
USD
Net/40%
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index.
For
the
same
period,
all
of
the
Fund’s
share
classes
underperformed
its
secondary
benchmark,
the
ICE
BofA
3-Month
U.S.
Treasury
Bill
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund
targets
a
total
return
in
the
form
of
capital
appreciation
and
income
over
the
long-term.
The
Fund
utilizes
a
factor
investing
approach
to
provide
a
diversified
engine
for
growth
by
targeting
multiple
return
drivers,
or
factors,
across
many
asset
classes
and
geographies.
By
leveraging
a
long/short
implementation
framework,
the
strategy
seeks
to
isolate
broad
and
persistent
sources
of
returns,
while
maintaining
a
low
correlation
to
equity
and
fixed-income
markets
in
seeking
to
be
resilient
to
market
shocks
and
drawdowns.
The
Fund’s
market
neutral
style
factor
exposures,
which
receive
roughly
two-thirds
of
the
overall
allocation,
experienced
a
strong
run
over
the
period
as
they
contributed
over
two
percent
to
aggregate
performance.
Across
styles,
significant
contribution
stemmed
from
value
and
low
volatility-focused
strategies
within
market
neutral
equities,
as
well
as
global
yield
differentials
across
both
equity
markets
(country
futures)
and
foreign
currencies.
From
a
factor
perspective,
carry
(incremental
income)
was
the
top
contributor
as
divergence
in
monetary
policies
across
geographies
continued
to
create
opportunities
across
asset
classes.
The
low
volatility
factor
also
added
to
performance
as
a
pivot
away
from
highly
idiosyncratic,
unprofitable
stocks
played
to
the
factor’s
strengths,
while
the
value
factor
benefited
as
global
interest
rates
moved
higher.
The
macro
factor/risk
parity
allocation,
which
provides
directional,
risk-balanced
market
exposure,
was
the
primary
detractor
as
two
out
of
three
factors
–
real
rates
and
inflation
–
weighed
on
performance.
Both
factors,
which
are
implemented
using
inflation-linked
and
nominal
debt,
respectively,
sold
off
throughout
most
of
the
latter
half
of
the
period
as
global
central
banks
attempted
to
rapidly
ratchet
up
interest
rates
in
order
to
tame
the
highest
realized
inflation
across
developed
economies
in
decades.
The
pro-cyclical
economic
growth
factor
saw
its
allocation
to
broad
equities
and
credit
dampen
return
as
markets
shifted
to
risk-off
mode
throughout
the
majority
of
2022,
although
a
modest
allocation
to
broad
commodities
buoyed
the
factor’s
efficacy
and
brought
its
headline
return
to
net
positive
by
period
end.
The
Fund
routinely
held
derivatives
including
futures,
swaps,
and
currency
forwards
to
gain
exposure
to
single
name
stocks,
global
bonds,
currencies,
commodities,
and
equity
market
indices
in
a
cost-efficient
and
capital-efficient
manner.
Additionally,
some
of
the
Fund’s
currency
forwards
are
held
for
hedging
purposes
to
protect
against
unintended
exposure
to
foreign
currency
risk.
Over
the
period,
the
use
of
derivatives
detracted
from
performance.
The
Fund
held
large
unencumbered
cash
positions
to
meet
collateral
calls
on
derivative
positions.
The
cash
balance
did
not
have
a
material
impact
on
performance
during
the
period.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
While
the
overall
allocations
to
the
factor
groupings
remained
stable
throughout
the
period,
the
timing
model
tends
to
be
the
primary
dynamic
piece
that
modestly
shifts
exposures
within
the
market
neutral
equity
allocation.
Over
the
period,
the
model
finished
effectively
flat
as
performance
netted
out
from
strong
rotations
around
the
value
and
quality
factors,
both
of
which
were
impacted
by
significant
shifts
in
central
bank
interest
rate
policies.
The
investment
adviser
removed
Russian
ruble
exposure
from
the
model
nearly
a
month
prior
to
the
start
of
the
Ukraine
conflict
on
the
view
that
asymmetric
risk
was
embedded
in
the
asset
and
took
positioning
in
natural
gas
down
to
zero
for
a
brief
period
as
fallout
from
the
invasion
of
Ukraine
caused
the
price
to
be
driven
by
non-fundamental
forces.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund
seeks
to
deliver
positive
absolute
returns
by
balancing
risks
among
equities,
bonds,
commodities,
currencies,
and
diversifying
strategies.
At
the
end
of
the
period,
the
Fund
was
positioned
slightly
overweight
to
value
and
momentum
strategies
and
with
a
marginal
tilt
away
from
carry.
Within
single
name
equities,
the
timing
model
was
modestly
tilted
toward
value,
minimum
volatility,
and
quality
insights
at
the
expense
of
momentum,
which
was
a
notable
underweight.
At
the
overall
portfolio
level,
equities
and
fixed
income
remain
the
most
overweight
asset
classes.

Institutional
and
Class
K
Shares
are
not
subject
to
any
sales
charge.
These
shares
bear
no
ongoing
distribution
or
service
fees
and
are
available
only
to
certain

investors.
Class
K

performance
shown
prior
to
the
Class
K
Shares
inception
date
of
February
3,
2017
is
that
of
Institutional
Shares.
The
performance
of
the
Fund’s
Class
K
Shares
would
be
substantially
similar
to
Institutional
Shares
because
Class
K
Shares
and
Institutional
Shares
invest
in
the
same
portfolio
of
securities
and
performance
would
only
differ
to
the
extent
that
Class
K
Shares
and
Institutional
Shares
have
different
expenses.
The
actual
returns
of
Class
K
Shares
would
have
been
higher
than
those
of
the
Institutional
Shares
because
Class
K
Shares
have
lower
expenses
than
the
Institutional
Shares.
Investor
A
Shares
are
subject
to
a
maximum
initial
sales
charge
(front-end
load)
of
5.25%
and
a
service
fee
of
0.25%
per
year
(but
no
distribution
fee).
Certain
redemptions
of
these
shares
may
be
subject
to
a
contingent
deferred
sales
charge
("CDSC")
where
no
initial
sales
charge
was
paid
at
the
time
of
purchase.
These
shares
are
generally
available
through
financial
intermediaries.
Investor
C
Shares
are
subject
to
a
1.00%
CDSC
if
redeemed
within
one
year
of

In
addition,
these

are
subject
to
a
distribution
fee
of
0.75%
per
year
and
a
service
fee
of
0.25%

These

Past
performance
is
not
an
indication
of
future
results.
Financial
markets
have
experienced
extreme
volatility
and
trading
in
many
instruments
has
been
disrupted.
These
circumstances
may
continue
for
an
extended
period
of
time
and
may
continue
to
affect
adversely
the
value
and
liquidity
of
the
Fund's
investments.
As
a
result,
current
performance
may
be
lower
or
higher
than
the
performance
data
quoted.
Refer
to
blackrock.com
to
obtain
performance
data
current
to

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
table(s) assume
reinvestment
of
all
distributions,
if
any,
at
net
asset
value
("NAV")
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
payable
date,
as
applicable.
Investment
return
and
principal
value
of
shares
will
fluctuate
so
that
shares,
when
redeemed,
may
be
worth
more
or
less
than
their
original
cost.
Distributions
paid
to
each
class
of
shares
will
vary
because
of
the
different
levels
of
service,
distribution
and
transfer
agency
fees
applicable
to
each
class,
which
are
deducted
from
the
income
available
to
be
paid
to
shareholders.
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
"Manager”),
the
Fund's
investment
adviser,
has
contractually
and/or
voluntarily
agreed
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
a
portion
of
the
Fund’s
expenses.
Without
such
waiver(s)
and/or
reimbursement(s),
the
Fund's
performance
would
have
been
lower.
With
respect
to
the
Fund's
voluntary
waiver(s),
if
any,
the
Manager
is
under
no
obligation
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
or
to
continue
waiving
and/or
reimbursing
its
fees
and
such
voluntary
waiver(s)
may
be
reduced
or
discontinued
at
any
time.
With
respect
to
the
Fund's
contractual
waiver(s),
if
any,
the
Manager
is
under
no
obligation
to
continue
waiving
and/or
reimbursing
its
fees
after
the
applicable
termination
date
of
such
agreement.
See
the
Notes
to
Consolidated

for
additional
information
on
waivers
and/or

Disclosure
of
Expenses
Shareholders
of
the
Fund
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
example
shown
(which
is
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
through
the
end
of
the
period)
is
intended
to
assist
shareholders
both
in
calculating
expenses
based
on
an
investment
in
the
Fund
and
in
comparing
these
expenses
with
similar
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
expense
example
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
Annualized
expense
ratios
reflect
contractual
and
voluntary
fee
waivers,
if
any.
In
order
to
estimate
the
expenses
a
shareholder
paid
during
the
period
covered
by
this
report,
shareholders
can
divide
their
account
value
by
$1,000
and
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
corresponding
to
their share
class
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the
Period.”
The
expense
example
also
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses.
In
order
to
assist
shareholders
in
comparing
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
example
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
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.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
2022
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
8
The
Fund
may
invest
in
various
derivative
financial
instruments.
These
instruments
are
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security,
commodity,
index,
market,
and/or
other
assets
without
owning
or
taking
physical
custody
of
securities,
commodities
and/or
other
referenced
assets
or
to
manage
market,
equity,
credit,
interest
rate,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate,
commodity
and/or
other
risks.
Derivative
financial
instruments
may
give
rise
to
a
form
of
economic
leverage
and
involve
risks,
including
the
imperfect
correlation
between
the
value
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
and
the
underlying
asset,
possible
default
of
the
counterparty
to
the
transaction
or
illiquidity
of
the
instrument.
The
Fund’s
successful
use
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
depends
on
the
investment
adviser’s
ability
to
predict
pertinent
market
movements
accurately,
which
cannot
be
assured.
The
use
of
these
instruments
may
result
in
losses
greater
than
if
they
had
not
been
used,
may
limit
the
amount
of
appreciation the
Fund
can
realize
on
an
investment
and/or
may
result
in
lower
distributions
paid
to
shareholders.
The
Fund’s
investments
in
these
instruments,
if
any,
are
discussed
in
detail
in
the
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements.

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
Total
Factor
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
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
and
Class
K
Shares
are
sold
only
to
certain
eligible
investors.
Investor
A
and
Investor
C
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
shareholder
servicing
of
such
shares,
and
Investor
C
Shares
also
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
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
(except
that
Investor
C
shareholders
may
vote
on
material
changes
to
the
Investor
A
Shares
distribution
and
service
plan).
(a)
Investor
A
Shares
may
be
subject
to
a
CDSC
for
certain
redemptions
where
no
initial
sales
charge
was
paid
at
the
time
of
purchase.
(b)
A
CDSC
of
1.00%
is
assessed
on
certain
redemptions
of
Investor
C
Shares
made
within
one
year
after
purchase.
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
equity,
multi-asset,
index
and
money
market
funds
referred
to
as
the
BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
Basis
of
Consolidation:
The
accompanying
consolidated
financial
statements
of
the
Fund
include
the
accounts
of
BlackRock
Cayman
Strategic
Risk
Allocation
Fund,
Ltd.
(the
“Cayman
Subsidiary”),
which
is
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
the
Fund
and
primarily
invests
in
commodity-related
instruments
and
other
derivatives.
The
Cayman
Subsidiary
enables
the
Fund
to
hold
these
commodity-related
instruments
and
satisfy
regulated
investment
company
tax
requirements.
The
Fund
may
invest
up
to
25%
of
its
total
assets
in
the
Cayman
Subsidiary.
The
net
assets
of
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
as
of
period
end
were
$11,281,499,
which
is
5.12%
of
the
Fund's
consolidated
net
assets.
Intercompany
accounts
and
transactions,
if
any,
have
been
eliminated.
The
Subsidiary
is
subject
to
the
same
investment
policies
and
restrictions
that
apply
to
the
Fund,
except
that
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
may
invest
without
limitation
in
commodity-related
instruments.
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.
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:
Investment
Transactions
and
Income
Recognition:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
investment
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
dates
the
transactions
are
executed.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions
are
determined
using
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates
at
fair
value.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets.
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
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
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
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.
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
from
the
effects
of
changes
in
market
prices
of
those
investments,
but
are
included
as
a
component
of
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
(loss)
from
investments.
The
Fund
reports
realized
currency
gains
(losses)
on
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
net
realized
gain
(loss)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
generally
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes.
Collateralization:
If
required
by
an
exchange
or
counterparty
agreement,
the
Fund
may
be
required
to
deliver/deposit
cash
and/or
securities
to/with
an
exchange,
or
broker-
dealer
or
custodian
as
collateral
for
certain
investments.
Distributions:
Distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
daily
and
paid
monthly.
Distributions
of
capital
gains
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates
and
made
at
least
annually.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
Net
income
and
realized
gains
from
investments
held
by
the
Subsidiary
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
tax
purposes. If
a
net
loss
is
realized
by
the
Subsidiary
in
any
taxable
year,
the
loss
will
generally
not
be
available
to
offset
the
Fund’s
ordinary
income
and/or
capital
gains
for
that
year.

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.
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.
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.

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
consolidated
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund
is
open
for
business
and,
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
as
of
the
report
date.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
a
fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of
its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
policies
approved
by
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
Trust
(the
“Board”).
If
a
security’s
market
price
is
not
readily
available
or
does
not
otherwise
accurately
represent
the
fair
value
of
the
security,
the
security
will
be
valued
in
accordance
with
a
policy
approved
by
the
Board
as
reflecting
fair
value.
The
BlackRock
Global
Valuation
Methodologies
Committee
(the
“Global
Valuation
Committee”)
is
the
committee
formed
by
management
to
develop
global
pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
the
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities:
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
securities
exchange
are
valued
at
that
day's official
closing
price,
as
applicable,
on
the
exchange
where
the
stock
is
primarily
traded.
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.
Fixed-income investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
using
the
last
available
bid
price
or
current
market
quotations
provided
by
independent
dealers
or
third-party
pricing
services. Pricing
services
generally
value
fixed-income
securities
assuming
orderly
transactions
of
an
institutional
round
lot
size,
but
a
fund
may
hold
or
transact
in
such
securities
in
smaller,
odd
lot
sizes.
Odd
lots
may
trade
at
lower
prices
than
institutional
round
lots.
The
pricing
services
may
use
matrix
pricing
or
valuation
models
that
utilize
certain
inputs
and
assumptions
to
derive
values,
including
transaction
data
(e.g.,
recent
representative
bids
and
offers),
market
data, credit
quality
information,
perceived
market
movements,
news,
and
other
relevant
information.
Certain
fixed-income
securities,
including
asset-
backed
and
mortgage
related
securities
may
be
valued
based
on
valuation
models
that
consider
the
estimated
cash
flows
of
each
tranche
of
the
entity,
establish
a
benchmark
yield
and
develop
an
estimated
tranche
specific
spread
to
the
benchmark
yield
based
on
the
unique
attributes
of
the
tranche.
The
amortized
cost
method
of
valuation
may
be
used
with
respect
to
debt
obligations
with
sixty
days
or
less
remaining
to
maturity
unless
the
Manager
determines
such
method
does
not
represent
fair
value.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day's
published net
asset
value
(“NAV").
Futures
contracts
are valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
or
trade price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded.
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
ask
prices
and
are
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE
based
on
that
day’s
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate
for
the
underlying
currencies.
Over-the-counter
("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
independent pricing
services
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.
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the NYSE.
Each
business
day,
the
Fund
uses
current
market
factors
supplied
by
independent
pricing
services
to
value
certain
foreign
instruments
(“Systematic
Fair
Value
Price”).
The
Systematic
Fair
Value
Price
is
designed
to
value
such
foreign
securities
at
fair
value
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE,
which
follows
the
close
of
the
local
markets.
If
events
(e.g.,
market
volatility,
company
announcement or
a
natural
disaster)
occur
that
are
expected
to
materially
affect
the
value
of
such
investment,
or
in
the
event
that application
of
these
methods
of
valuation
results
in
a
price
for
an
investment
that
is
deemed
not
to
be
representative
of
the
market
value
of
such
investment,
or
if
a
price
is
not
available,
the
investment
will
be
valued
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee,
or
its
delegate,
in
accordance
with
a
policy
approved
by
the
Board
as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee include
market
approach,
income
approach
and
cost
approach.
Valuation
techniques
such
as
discounted
cash
flow,
use
of
market
comparables
and
matrix
pricing
are
types
of
valuation
approaches
and
are
typically
used
in
determining
fair
value.
When
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the
Global
Valuation
Committee,
or
its
delegate,
seeks
to
determine
the
price
that
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
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement.
The
pricing
of
all
Fair
Valued
Investments
is
subsequently
reported
to
the
Board
or
a
committee
thereof
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial reporting purposes
as
follows:
Level
1
—
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
—
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,

curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks
and
default
rates)
or
other
market–corroborated
inputs);
and
Level
3 —
Unobservable
inputs
based
on
the
best
information
available
in
the
circumstances,
to
the
extent
observable
inputs
are
not
available
(including
the
Global
Valuation
Committee's assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments).
The
hierarchy
gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level
3
measurements).
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
fair
value
hierarchy
classification
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety. Investments
classified
within
Level
3
have
significant
unobservable
inputs
used
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
privately
held
companies
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS
Inflation-Indexed
Bonds:
Inflation-indexed
bonds
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
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
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
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
is
included
as
interest
income
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
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.
With
regard
to
municipal
inflation-indexed
bonds
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds,
the
inflation
adjustment
is
typically
reflected
in
the
semi-annual
coupon
payment.
As
a
result,
the
principal
value
of
municipal
inflation-indexed
bonds
and
such
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds
does
not
adjust
according
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
OTC.
Futures
Contracts:
Futures
contracts
are
purchased
or
sold
to
gain
exposure
to,
or
manage
exposure
to,
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
and
changes
in
the
value
of
equity
securities
(equity
risk)
or
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
Futures
contracts
are
exchange-traded agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
specific
quantity
of
an
underlying
instrument
at
a
specified
price
and
on
a
specified
date.
Depending
on
the
terms
of
a
contract,
it
is
settled
either
through
physical
delivery
of
the
underlying
instrument
on
the
settlement
date
or
by
payment
of
a
cash
amount
on
the
settlement
date.
Upon
entering
into
a
futures
contract,
the
Fund
is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
a
contract’s
size
and
risk
profile.
The
initial
margin
deposit
must
then
be
maintained
at
an
established
level
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
an
amount
of
cash
equal
to
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
of
the
contract
(“variation
margin”).
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and,
if
any,
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
futures
contracts
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
contract
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
notional
amount
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
The
use
of
futures
contracts
involves
the
risk
of
an
imperfect
correlation
in
the
movements
in
the
price
of
futures
contracts
and
interest
rates,
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
or
underlying
assets.
Forward
Foreign
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
:
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
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
specified
date.
These
contracts
help
to
manage
the
overall
exposure
to
the
currencies
in
which
some
of
the
investments
held
by
the
Fund
are
denominated
and
in
some
cases,
may
be
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
particular
market.
The
contracts
are
traded
OTC
and
not
on
an
organized
exchange.
The
contract
is
marked-to-market
daily
and
the
change
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
Non-deliverable
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
settled
with
the
counterparty
in
cash
without
the
delivery
of
foreign
currency.
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,
and
such
value
may
exceed
the
amount(s)
reflected
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Cash
amounts
pledged
for
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
considered
restricted
and
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
OTC
derivatives
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
A
Fund’s
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives
is
generally
limited
to
the
aggregate
unrealized
gain
netted
against
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund.

Options:
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
call
and
put
options
to
increase
or
decrease
its
exposure
to
the
risks
of
underlying
instruments,
including
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk
and/or
commodity
price
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.
Premiums
paid
on
options
purchased
and
premiums
received
on
options
written,
as
well
as
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value,
are
included
in
investments
at
value
–
unaffiliated
and
options
written
at
value,
respectively,
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
an
instrument
is
purchased
or
sold
through
the
exercise
of
an
option,
the
premium
is
offset
against
the
cost
or
proceeds
of
the
underlying
instrument.
When
an
option
expires,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
to
the
extent
of
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
an
option
is
closed
or
sold,
a
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
to
the
extent
the
cost
of
the
closing
transaction
exceeds
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
the
Fund
writes
a
call
option,
such
option
is
typically
“covered,”
meaning
that
it
holds
the
underlying
instrument
subject
to
being
called
by
the
option
counterparty.
When
the
Fund
writes
a
put
option,
cash
is
segregated in
an
amount
sufficient
to
cover
the
obligation.
These
amounts,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
options
written
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Swaptions
–
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
primarily
to
preserve
a
return
or
spread
on
a
particular
investment
or
portion
of
the
Fund’s
holdings,
as
a
duration
management
technique
or
to
protect
against
an
increase
in
the
price
of
securities
it
anticipates
purchasing
at
a
later
date.
The
purchaser
and
writer
of
a
swaption
is
buying
or
granting
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.
In
purchasing
and
writing
options,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
value
of
the
underlying
instrument
or
the
risk
that
it
may
not
be
able
to
enter
into
a
closing
transaction
due
to
an
illiquid
market.
Exercise
of
a
written
option
could
result
in
the
Fund
purchasing
or
selling
a
security
when
it
otherwise
would
not,
or
at
a
price
different
from
the
current
market
value.
Swaps:
Swap
contracts
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
issuers,
markets
and
securities.
Such
contracts
are
agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
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”).
For
OTC
swaps,
any
upfront
premiums
paid
and
any
upfront
fees
received
are
shown
as
swap
premiums
paid
and
swap
premiums
received,
respectively,
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
OTC
Swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
proceeds
from
(or
cost
of)
the
closing
transaction
and
the
Fund’s
basis
in
the
contract,
if
any.
Generally,
the
basis
of
the
contract
is
the
premium
received
or
paid.
In
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
immediately
following
execution
of
the
swap
contract,
the
swap
contract
is
novated
to
a
central
counterparty
(the
“CCP”)
and
the
CCP
becomes
the Fund’s
counterparty
on
the
swap.
The
Fund
is
required
to
interface
with
the
CCP
through
the
broker.
Upon
entering
into
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
the
Fund
is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
the
size
and
risk
profile
of
the
particular
swap. Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
variation
margin.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
from
(paid
to)
the
counterparty
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
and
recorded
as
realized
gains
(losses)
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations,
including
those
at
termination.
Credit
default
swaps
—
Credit
default
swaps
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
the
market
or
certain
sectors
of
the
market,
to
reduce
risk
exposure
to
defaults
of
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
or
to
create
exposure
to
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
to
which
a
fund
is
not
otherwise
exposed
(credit
risk).
The
Fund
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
are
agreements
in
which
the
protection
buyer
pays
fixed
periodic
payments
to
the
seller
in
consideration
for
a
promise
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
acceleration,
repudiation,
moratorium
or
restructuring).
As
a
buyer,
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Fund
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
Fund
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
—
Total
return
swaps
are
entered
into
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security
or
market
without
owning
such
security
or
investing
directly
in
such
market
or
to
exchange
the
risk/return
of
one
security
or market
(e.g.,
fixed-income)
with
another
security
or
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
(distributions
plus
capital
gains/losses)
of
an
underlying
instrument,
or
basket
of
underlying
instruments,
in
exchange
for
fixed
or
floating
rate
interest
payments.
If
the
total
return
of
the
instrument(s)
or
index
underlying
the
transaction
exceeds
or
falls
short
of
the
offsetting
fixed
or
floating
interest
rate
obligation,
the
Fund
receives
payment
from
or
makes
a
payment
to
the
counterparty.
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
(continued)
2022
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
70
Certain
total
return
swaps
are
designed
to
function
as
a
portfolio
of
direct
investments
in
long
and
short
equity
positions.
This
means
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
trade
in
and
out
of
these
long
and
short
positions
within
the
swap
and
will
receive
the
economic
benefits
and
risks
equivalent
to
direct
investment
in
these
positions,
subject
to
certain
adjustments
due
to
events
related
to
the
counterparty.
Benefits
and
risks
include
capital
appreciation
(depreciation),
corporate
actions
and
dividends
received
and
paid,
all
of
which
are
reflected
in
the
swap’s
market
value.
The
market
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.
Positions
within
the
swap
and
financing
fees
are
reset
periodically.
During
a
reset,
any
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
positions
and
accrued
financing
fees
become
available
for
cash
settlement
between
the
Fund
and
the
counterparty.
The
amounts
that
are
available
for
cash
settlement
are
recorded
as
realized
gains
or
losses
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
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
Fund
and
the
counterparty,
over
the
life
of
the
agreement.
Certain
swaps
have
no
stated
expiration
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Swap
transactions
involve,
to
varying
degrees,
elements
of
interest
rate,
credit
and
market
risk
in
excess
of
the
amounts
recognized
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Such
risks
involve
the
possibility
that
there
will
be
no
liquid
market
for
these
agreements,
that
the
counterparty
to
the
agreements
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
perform
or
disagree
as
to
the
meaning
of
the
contractual
terms
in
the
agreements,
and
that
there
may
be
unfavorable
changes
in
interest
rates
and/or
market
values
associated
with
these
transactions.
Master
Netting
Arrangements:
In
order
to
define
its
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
it mitigate its
counterparty
risk, the
Fund
may
enter
into
an
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
Master
Agreement
(“ISDA
Master
Agreement”)
or
similar
agreement
with
its
counterparties.
An
ISDA
Master
Agreement
is
a
bilateral
agreement
between a
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, a
Fund
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
offset
with
the
counterparty
certain
derivative
financial
instruments’
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
and/or
posted
and
create
one
single
net
payment.
The
provisions
of
the
ISDA
Master
Agreement
typically
permit
a
single
net
payment
in
the
event
of
default
including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
counterparty.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
the
right
of
offset
in
bankruptcy,
insolvency
or
other
events.
Collateral
Requirements:
For
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
the
collateral
requirements
are
typically
calculated
by
netting
the
mark-to-market
amount
for
each
transaction
under
such
agreement
and
comparing
that
amount
to
the
value
of
any
collateral
currently
pledged
by
the
Fund
and
the
counterparty.
Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
obligations
of
the
Fund
and
cash
collateral
received
from
the
counterparty,
if
any,
is
reported
separately
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
and
cash
received
as
collateral,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
Generally,
the
amount
of
collateral
due
from
or
to
a
counterparty
is
subject
to
a
certain
minimum
transfer
amount
threshold
before
a
transfer
is
required,
which
is
determined
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
Fund.
Any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to/pledged
by
the
Fund
on
the
next
business
day.
Typically,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
cash
and
non-cash
collateral
it
receives.
The
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,
interest
may
be
paid
pursuant
to
the
collateral
arrangement
with
the
counterparty.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from the
counterparties
are
not
fully
collateralized, the
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Likewise,
to
the
extent
the
Fund
has
delivered
collateral
to
a
counterparty
and
stands
ready
to
perform
under
the
terms
of
its
agreement
with
such
counterparty, the
Fund bears 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
for
all
derivative
contracts.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
Fund
does
not
offset
derivative
assets
and
derivative
liabilities
that
are
subject
to
netting
arrangements,
if
any,
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

does
not
receive
separate
compensation
from
the
Subsidiary
for

monthly
at
annual
rates
based
upon
the
average
daily
net

Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”),
the
Fund
may
participate
in
a
joint
lending
and
borrowing
facility
for
temporary
purposes
(the
“Interfund
Lending
Program”),
subject
to
compliance
with
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
Order,
and
to
the
extent
permitted
by
the
Fund’s
investment
policies
and
restrictions.
The
Fund
is
currently
permitted
to
borrow
and
lend under
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
lending
BlackRock
fund
may
lend
in
aggregate
up
to
15%
of
its
net
assets
but
may
not
lend
more
than
5%
of
its
net
assets
to
any
one
borrowing
fund
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
borrowing
BlackRock
fund
may
not
borrow
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program
or
from
any
other
source
more
than
33
1/3%
of
its
total
assets
(or
any
lower
threshold
provided
for
by
the fund’s
investment
restrictions).
If
a
borrowing
BlackRock
fund’s
total
outstanding
borrowings
exceed
10%
of
its
total
assets,
each
of
its
outstanding
interfund
loans
will
be
subject
to
collateralization
of
at
least
102%
of
the
outstanding
principal
value
of
the
loan.
All
interfund
loans
are
for
temporary
or
emergency
purposes
and
the
interest
rate
to
be
charged
will
be
the
average
of
the
highest
current
overnight
repurchase
agreement
rate
available
to
a
lending
fund
and
the
bank
loan
rate,
as
calculated
according
to
a
formula
established
by
the
Board.
During the
year
ended
July
31,
2022,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Trustees
and
Officers:
Certain
trustees
and/or
officers
of
the Trust are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the
Fund's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Trustees and
Officer
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.

is
the
Fund’s
policy

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

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,
$2.50
billion
credit
agreement
with
a
group
of
lenders.
Under
this
agreement,
the
Fund
may
borrow
to
fund
shareholder
redemptions.
Excluding
commitments
designated
for
certain
individual
funds,
the
Participating
Funds,
including
the
Fund,
can
borrow
up
to
an
aggregate
commitment
amount
of
$1.75
billion
at
any
time
outstanding,
subject
to
asset
coverage
and
other
limitations
as
specified
in
the
agreement.
The
credit
agreement
has
the
following
terms:
a
fee
of
0.10%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
interest
at
a
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
Overnight

(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the

plus
0.80%
per

plus

PRINCIPAL
RISKS
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
the
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
among
others,
fluctuations
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
an
issuer
to
meet
all
of
its
obligations.
The
value
of
securities
or
other
instruments
may
also
be
affected
by
various
factors,
including,
without
limitation:
(i)
the
general
economy;
(ii)
the
overall
market
as
well
as
local,
regional
or
global
political
and/or
social
instability;
(iii)
regulation,
taxation
or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
and
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and its
investments.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
the
Fund
is
subject.
Market Risk:
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.
An
outbreak
of
respiratory
disease
caused
by
a
novel
coronavirus
has
developed
into
a
global
pandemic
and
has
resulted
in
closing
borders,
quarantines,
disruptions
to
supply
chains
and
customer
activity,
as
well
as
general
concern
and
uncertainty.
The
impact
of
this
pandemic,
and
other
global
health
crises
that
may
arise
in
the
future,
could
affect
the
economies
of
many
nations,
individual
companies
and
the
market
in
general
in
ways
that
cannot
necessarily
be
foreseen
at
the
present
time.
This
pandemic
may
result
in
substantial
market
volatility
and
may
adversely
impact
the
prices
and
liquidity
of
a
fund's
investments.
Although
vaccines
have
been
developed
and
approved
for
use
by
various
governments,
the duration
of
this
pandemic
and
its
effects
cannot
be
determined
with
certainty.
Valuation
Risk:
The
market
values
of
equities,
such
as
common
stocks
and
preferred
securities
or
equity
related
investments,
such
as
futures
and
options,
may
decline
due
to
general
market
conditions
which
are
not
specifically
related
to
a
particular
company.
They
may
also
decline
due
to
factors
which
affect
a
particular
industry

to
experience
significant
increases
or
decreases
over
short
periods
of
time.
If
there
is
a
general
decline
in
the
securities
and
other
markets,
the
NAV
of the
Fund
may
lose
value,
regardless
of
the
individual
results
of
the
securities
and
other
instruments
in
which the
Fund
invests.
Counterparty
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,
including
making
timely
interest
and/or
principal
payments
or
otherwise
honoring
its
obligations.
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund.
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.
For
OTC
options
purchased,
the
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
Fund
should
the
counterparty
fail
to
perform
under
the
contracts.
Options
written
by
the
Fund
do
not
typically
give
rise
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
as
options
written
generally
obligate
the
Fund,
and
not
the
counterparty,
to
perform.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk
with
respect
to
options
written
to
the
extent
the
Fund
deposits
collateral
with
its
counterparty
to
a
written
option.
With
exchange-traded
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
there
is
less
counterparty
credit
risk
to
the
Fund
since
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse,
as
counterparty
to
such
instruments,
guarantees
against
a
possible
default.
The
clearinghouse
stands
between
the
buyer
and
the
seller
of
the
contract;
therefore,
credit
risk
is
limited
to
failure
of
the
clearinghouse.
While
offset
rights
may
exist
under
applicable
law, the
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
Fund.
Concentration
Risk:
A
diversified
portfolio,
where
this
is appropriate
and
consistent
with
a
fund's
objectives,
minimizes
the
risk
that
a
price
change
of
a
particular
investment
will
have
a
material
impact
on
the
NAV
of
a
fund.
The
investment
concentrations
within
the
Fund's
portfolio
are
disclosed
in
its Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
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
decrease
as
interest
rates
rise
and
increase
as
interest
rates
fall.
The
Fund
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
due
to
the recent
period
of
historically
low
interest rates. The
Federal
Reserve
has
recently
begun
to
raise
the
federal
funds
rate
as
part
of
its
efforts
to
address
inflation.
There
is
a
risk
that
interest
rates
will
continue
to
rise,
which
will
likely
drive
down
the
prices
of
bonds
and
other
fixed-income
securities,
and
could
negatively
impact
the
Fund’s
performance.
The
Fund
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
as
well
as
acts
of
war
in
the
region.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Europe
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Fund’s
investments.
Responses
to
the
financial
problems
by
European
governments,
central
banks
and
others,
including
austerity
measures
and
reforms,
may
not
work,
may
result
in
social
unrest
and
may
limit
future
growth
and
economic
recovery
or
have
other
unintended
consequences.
Further
defaults
or
restructurings
by
governments
and
others
of
their
debt
could
have
additional
adverse
effects
on
economies,
financial
markets
and
asset
valuations
around
the
world.
The
United
Kingdom
has
withdrawn
from
the
European
Union,
and
one
or
more
other
countries
may
withdraw
from
the
European
Union
and/or
abandon
the
Euro,
the
common
currency
of
the
European
Union.
The
impact
of
these
actions,
especially
if
they
occur
in
a
disorderly
fashion,
is
not
clear
but
could
be
significant
and
far
reaching.
In
addition,
Russia
launched
a
large-scale
invasion
of
Ukraine
on
February
24,
2022.
The
extent
and
duration
of
the
military
action,
resulting
sanctions
and
resulting
future
market
disruptions
in
the
region
are
impossible
to
predict,
but
could
be
significant
and
have
a
severe
adverse
effect
on
the
region,
including
significant
negative
impacts
on
the
economy
and
the
markets
for
certain
securities
and
commodities,
such
as
oil
and
natural
gas,
as
well
as
other
sectors.
Significant
Shareholder
Redemption
Risk:
Certain
shareholders
may
own
or
manage
a
substantial
amount
of
fund
shares
and/or
hold
their
fund
investments
for
a
limited
period
of
time.
Large
redemptions
of
fund
shares
by
these
shareholders
may
force
a
fund
to
sell
portfolio
securities,
which
may
negatively
impact
the
fund’s
NAV,
increase
the
fund’s
brokerage
costs,
and/or
accelerate
the
realization
of
taxable
income/gains
and
cause
the
fund
to
make
additional
taxable
distributions
to
shareholders.
LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority
announced
a phase
out of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”).
Although
many
LIBOR
rates
ceased
to
be
published
or
no
longer are
representative
of
the
underlying
market
they
seek
to
measure
after
December
31,
2021,
a
selection
of
widely
used
USD
LIBOR
rates
will
continue
to
be
published
through
June
2023
in
order
to
assist
with
the
transition.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
financial
instruments
tied
to
LIBOR
to
determine
payment
obligations,
financing
terms,
hedging
strategies
or
investment
value.
The
transition
process
away
from
LIBOR
might
lead
to
increased
volatility
and
illiquidity
in
markets
for,
and
reduce
the
effectiveness
of
new
hedges
placed
against
instruments
whose
terms
currently
include
LIBOR.
The
ultimate
effect
of
the
LIBOR
transition
process
on
the
Fund
is
uncertain.

BlackRock
Annual

76
To
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
BlackRock

SM
and
Shareholders
of
BlackRock
Total
Factor
Fund
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
consolidated
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
consolidated
schedule
of
investments,
of
BlackRock
Total
Factor
Fund
and
its
subsidiary
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
BlackRock
Funds
SM
,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
July
31,
2022,
the
related
consolidated
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
July
31,
2022,
the
consolidated
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
July
31,
2022,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
consolidated
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
July
31,
2022
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“consolidated
financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
consolidated
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
July
31,
2022,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
July
31,
2022
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
July
31,
2022
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
consolidated
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
consolidated
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
consolidated
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
consolidated
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
consolidated
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
July
31,
2022
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board,”
the
members
of
which
are
referred
to
as
“Board
Members”)
of
BlackRock
Funds
(the
“Trust”)
met
on
April
20,
2022
(the
“April
Meeting”)
and
May
10-11,
2022
(the
“May
Meeting”)
to
consider
the
approval
to
continue
the
investment
advisory
agreement
(the
“Advisory
Agreement”)
between
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock
Total
Factor
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
and
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”),
the
Fund’s
investment
advisor.
The
Board
also
considered
the
approval
to
continue
the
sub-advisory
agreement
(the
“Sub-Advisory
Agreement”)
between
the
Manager
and
BlackRock
International
Limited
(the
“Sub-Advisor”)
with
respect
to
the
Fund.
The
Manager
and
the
Sub-Advisor
are
referred
to
herein
as
“BlackRock.”
The
Advisory
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
are
referred
to
herein
as
the
“Agreements.”
The
Approval
Process
Consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”),
the
Board
considers
the
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Agreements
for
the
Fund
on
an
annual
basis.
The
Board
members
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Trust,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
are
considered
independent
Board
members
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”).
The
Board’s
consideration
entailed
a
year-long
deliberative
process
during
which
the
Board
and
its
committees
assessed
BlackRock’s
various
services
to
the
Fund,
including
through
the
review
of
written
materials
and
oral
presentations,
and
the
review
of
additional
information
provided
in
response
to
requests
from
the
Independent
Board
Members.
The
Board
had
four
quarterly
meetings
per
year,
each
typically
extending
for
two
days,
as
well
as
additional
ad
hoc
meetings
and
executive
sessions
throughout
the
year,
as
needed.
The
committees
of
the
Board
similarly
met
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
also
had
an
additional
one-day
meeting
to
consider
specific
information
surrounding
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
In
particular,
the
Board
assessed,
among
other
things,
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
personnel
and
affiliates,
including
(as
applicable):
investment
management
services;
accounting
oversight;
administrative
and
shareholder
services;
oversight
of
the
Fund’s
service
providers;
risk
management
and
oversight;
and
legal,
regulatory
and
compliance
services.
Throughout
the
year,
including
during
the
contract
renewal
process,
the
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel,
and
met
with
independent
legal
counsel
in
various
executive
sessions
outside
of
the
presence
of
BlackRock’s
management.
During
the
year,
the
Board,
acting
directly
and
through
its
committees,
considered
information
that
was
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
including
the
services
and
support
provided
by
BlackRock
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
BlackRock
also
furnished
additional
information
to
the
Board
in
response
to
specific
questions

Prior
to
and
in
preparation
for
the
April
Meeting,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
The
Independent
Board
Members
continuously
engaged
in
a
process
with
their
independent
legal
counsel
and
BlackRock
to
review
the
nature
and
scope
of
the
information
provided
to
the
Board

assist
its
deliberations.
The
materials
provided
in
connection
with
the
April
Meeting
included,
among
other
things:
(a)
information
independently
compiled
and
prepared
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.

Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
as
compared
with
a
peer
group
of
funds
as
determined
by

benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates;
(d)
a
general
analysis
provided
by
BlackRock
concerning
investment
management
fees
received
in
connection
with
other
types

investment
products,
such
as
institutional
accounts,
sub-advised
mutual
funds,
ETFs,
closed-end
funds,
open-end
funds,
and
separately
managed
accounts,
under
similar
investment
mandates,
as
well
as
the
performance
of
such
other
products,
as
applicable;
(e)
a
review
of

impact
and

with
the
Fund;

shares;
and
(i)
various
additional
information
requested
by
the
Board
as
appropriate
regarding
BlackRock's
and
the
Fund's
operations.
At
the
April
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relating
to
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements
and
the
Independent
Board
Members
presented
BlackRock
with
questions
and
requests
for
additional
information.
BlackRock
responded
to
these
questions
and
requests
with
additional
written
information
in
advance
of
the
May
Meeting.
At
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
concluded
its
assessment
of,
among
other
things:
(a)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
BlackRock;
(b)
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
to
other
metrics,
as
applicable;
(c)
the
advisory
fee
and
the
estimated
cost
of
the
services
and
estimated
profits
realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationship
with
the
Fund;
(d)
the
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
compared
to
its
Expense
Peers;
(e)
the
existence
and
sharing
of
potential
economies
of
scale;
(f)
any
fall-out
benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
as
a
result
of
BlackRock’s
relationship
with
the
Fund;
and
(g)
other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Board
Members.
The
Board
also
considered
other
matters
it
deemed
important
to
the
approval
process,
such
as
other
payments
made
to
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
relating
to
securities
lending
and
cash
management,
and
BlackRock’s
services
related
to
the
valuation
and
pricing
of
Fund
portfolio
holdings.
The
Board
noted
the
willingness
of
BlackRock’s
personnel
to
engage
in
open,
candid
discussions
with
the
Board.
The
Board
Members
evaluated
the
information
available
to
it
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis.
The
following
paragraphs
provide
more
information
about
some
of
the
primary
factors
that
were
relevant
to
the
Board’s
decision.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information,
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
items
and
factors
considered.

2022
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
78
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
the
Services
Provided
by
BlackRock
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
BlackRock,
including
the
investment
advisory
services,
and
the
resulting
performance
of
the
Fund.
Throughout
the
year,
the
Board
compared
Fund
performance
to
the
performance
of
a
comparable
group
of
mutual
funds,
relevant
benchmarks,
and
performance
metrics,
as
applicable.
The
Board
met
with
BlackRock’s
senior
management
personnel
responsible
for
investment
activities,
including
the
senior
investment
officers.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
materials
provided
by
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
discussing
the
Fund’s
performance,
investment
strategies
and
outlook.
The
Board
considered,
among
other
factors,
with
respect
to
BlackRock:
the
number,
education
and
experience
of
investment
personnel
generally
and
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team;
research
capabilities;
investments
by
portfolio
managers
in
the
funds
they
manage;
portfolio
trading
capabilities;
use
of
technology;
commitment
to
compliance;
credit
analysis
capabilities;
risk
analysis
and
oversight
capabilities;
and
the
approach
to
training
and
retaining
portfolio
managers
and
other
research,
advisory
and
management
personnel.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
risk
management
program,
including
the
continued
efforts
of
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
address
cybersecurity
risks
and
the
role
of
BlackRock’s
Risk
&
Quantitative
Analysis
Group.
The
Board
engaged
in
a
review
of
BlackRock’s
compensation
structure
with
respect
to
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
talent
and
create
performance
incentives.
In
addition
to
investment
advisory
services,
the
Board
considered
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
administrative
and
other
non-investment
advisory
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Fund
with
certain
administrative,
shareholder
and
other
services
(in
addition
to
any
such
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
third
parties)
and
officers
and
other
personnel
as
are
necessary
for
the
operations
of
the
Fund.
In
particular,
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative
services
including,
among
others:
(i)
responsibility
for
disclosure
documents,
such
as
the
prospectus,
the
summary
prospectus
(as
applicable),
the
statement
of
additional
information
and
periodic
shareholder
reports;
(ii)
oversight
of
daily
accounting
and
pricing;
(iii)
responsibility
for
periodic
filings
with
regulators;
(iv)
overseeing
and
coordinating
the
activities
of
third-party
service
providers
including,
among
others,
the
Fund's
custodian,
fund
accountant,
transfer
agent,
and
auditor;
(v)
organizing
Board
meetings
and
preparing
the
materials
for
such
Board
meetings;
(vi)
providing
legal
and
compliance
support;
(vii)
furnishing
analytical
and
other
support
to
assist
the
Board
in
its
consideration
of
strategic
issues
such
as
the
merger,
consolidation
or
repurposing
of
certain
open-end
funds;
and
(viii)
performing
or
managing
administrative
functions
necessary
for
the
operation
of
the
Fund,
such
as
tax
reporting,
expense
management,
fulfilling
regulatory
filing
requirements,
overseeing
the
Fund’s
distribution
partners,
and
shareholder
call
center
and
other
services.
The
Board
reviewed
the
structure
and
duties
of
BlackRock’s
fund
administration,
shareholder
services,
and
legal
and
compliance
departments
and
considered
BlackRock’s
policies
and
procedures
for
assuring
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
regulations.
The
Board
considered
the
operation
of
BlackRock’s
business
continuity
plans,
including
in
light
of
the
ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic.
B.
The
Investment
Performance
of
the
Fund
and
BlackRock
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
history
of
the
Fund
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
April
Meeting.
In
preparation
for
the
April
Meeting,
the
Board
was
provided
with
reports
independently
prepared
by
Broadridge,
which
included
an
analysis
of
the
Fund’s
performance
as
of
December
31,
2021,
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Broadridge
ranks
funds
in
quartiles,
ranging
from
first
to
fourth,
where
first
is
the
most
desirable
quartile
position
and
fourth
is
the
least
desirable.
In
connection
with
its
review,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and,
in
light
of
the
Fund’s
outcome-oriented
investment
objective,
certain
performance
metrics
(“Outcome-Oriented
Performance
Metrics”).
The
Board
and
its
Performance
Oversight
Committee
regularly
review
and
meet
with
Fund
management
to
discuss
the
performance
of
the
Fund
throughout
the
year.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
The
Board
also
noted
that
while
it
found
the
data
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
the
limitations
of
such
data,
including
in
particular,
that
notable
differences
may
exist
between
a
fund
and
its
Performance
Peers
(for
example,
the
investment
objectives
and
strategies).
Further,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
performance
data
reflects
a
snapshot
of
a
period
as
of
a
particular
date
and
that
selecting
a
different
performance
period
could
produce
significantly
different
results.
The
Board
also
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance,
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
have
the
ability
to
disproportionately
affect
long-term
performance.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Outcome-Oriented
Performance
Metrics
including
a
total
return
target.
The
Board
noted
that
for
the
one-year,
three-year
and
since-inception
periods
reported,
the
Fund
outperformed,
underperformed
and
underperformed,
respectively,
its
total
return
target.
The
Board
noted
that
BlackRock
believes
that
the
Outcome-Oriented
Performance
Metrics
are
an
appropriate
performance
metric
for
the
Fund,
and
that
BlackRock
has
explained
its
rationale
for
this
belief
to
the
Board.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
reviewed
the
Fund’s
underperformance
relative
to
its
total
return
target
during
the
applicable
periods.
C.
Consideration
of
the
Advisory/Management
Fees
and
the
Estimated
Cost
of
the
Services
and
Estimated
Profits
Realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
Affiliates
from
their
Relationship
with
the
Fund
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
compared
with
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
contractual
management
fee
rate
represents
a
combination
of
the
advisory
fee
and
any
administrative
fees,
before
taking
into
account
any
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers.
The
Board
also
compared
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio,
as
well
as
its
actual
management
fee
rate,
to
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
total
expense
ratio
represents
a
fund’s
total
net
operating
expenses,
including
any
12b-1
or
non-12b-1
service
fees.
The
total
expense
ratio
gives
effect
to
any
expense
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers,
and
the
actual
management
fee
rate
gives
effect
to
any
management
fee
reimbursements
or
waivers.
The
Board
considered
the
services
provided
and
the
fees
charged
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
other
types
of
clients
with
similar
investment
mandates,
as
applicable,
including
institutional
accounts
and
sub-advised
mutual
funds
(including
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
third
parties).
The
Board
received
and
reviewed
statements
relating
to
BlackRock’s
financial
condition.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
profitability
methodology
and
was
also
provided
with
an
estimated
profitability
analysis
that
detailed
the
revenues
earned
and
the
expenses
incurred
by
BlackRock
for
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
the
Fund
and
other
funds
the
Board
currently
oversees
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021
compared
to
available
aggregate
estimated
profitability
data
provided
for
the
prior
two
years.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
certain
other
U.S.
fund
complexes
managed
by
the
Manager
and/or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
assumptions
and
methodology
of
allocating
expenses
in
the
estimated
profitability
Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
(continued)

Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
analysis,
noting
the
inherent
limitations
in
allocating
costs
among
various
advisory
products.
The
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
by
the
Manager,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
precision
of
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
The
Board
thus
recognized
that
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
the
individual
fund
level
is
difficult.
The
Board
noted
that,
in
general,
individual
fund
or
product
line
profitability
of
other
advisors
is
not
publicly
available.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
overall
operating
margin,
in
general,
compared
to
that
of
certain
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
The
Board
considered
the
differences
between
BlackRock
and
these
other
firms,
including
the
contribution
of
technology
at
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
expense
management,
and
the
relative
product
mix.
The
Board
considered
whether
BlackRock
has
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality
investment
management
personnel
to
perform
its
obligations
under
the
Agreements
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
high
quality
of
services
that
is
expected
by
the
Board.
The
Board
further
considered
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
BlackRock’s
commitment
of
time,
assumption
of
risk,
and
liability
profile
in
servicing
the
Fund,
including
in
contrast
to
what
is
required
of
BlackRock
with
respect
to
other
products
with
similar
investment
mandates
across
the
open-end
fund,
ETF,
closed-end
fund,
sub-advised
mutual
fund,
separately
managed
account,
collective
investment
trust,
and
institutional
separate
account
product
channels,
as
applicable.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
each
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund
has
an
advisory
fee
arrangement
that
includes
breakpoints
that
adjust
the
fee
rate
downward
as
the
size
of
the
Fund
increases
above
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
noted
that
if
the
size
of
the
Fund
were
to
decrease,
the
Fund
could
lose
the
benefit
of
one
or
more
breakpoints.
The
Board
further
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
the
Fund’s
total
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
D.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
might
be
realized
as
the
assets
of
the
Fund
increase,
including
the
existence
of
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable,
noting
that
any
contractual
fee
waivers
and
contractual
expense
caps
had
been
approved
by
the
Board.
In
its
consideration,
the
Board
further
considered
the
continuation
and/or
implementation
of
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Fund
benefits
from
such
economies
of
scale
in
a
variety
of
ways,
and
whether
there
should
be
changes
in
the
advisory
fee
rate
or
breakpoint
structure
in
order
to
enable
the
Fund
to
more
fully
participate
in
these
economies
of
scale.
The
Board
considered
the
Fund’s
asset
levels
and
whether
the
current
fee
schedule
was
appropriate.
E.
Other
Factors
Deemed
Relevant
by
the
Board
Members
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
also
took
into
account
other
ancillary
or
“fall-out”
benefits
that
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
may
derive
from
BlackRock’s
respective
relationships
with
the
Fund,
both
tangible
and
intangible,
such
as
BlackRock’s
ability
to
leverage
its
investment
professionals
who
manage
other
portfolios
and
its
risk
management
personnel,
an
increase
in
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
advisory
community,
and
the
engagement
of
BlackRock’s
affiliates
as
service
providers
to
the
Fund,
including
for
administrative,
distribution,
securities
lending
and
cash
management
services.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
operations
and
its
efforts
to
expand
the
scale
of,
and
improve
the
quality
of,
its
operations.
The
Board
also
noted
that,
subject
to
applicable
law,
BlackRock
may
use
and
benefit
from
third-party
research
obtained
by
soft
dollars
generated
by
certain
registered
fund
transactions
to
assist
in
managing
all
or
a
number
of
its
other
client
accounts.
In
connection
with
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
also
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
brokerage
and
soft
dollar
practices.
The
Board
received
reports
from
BlackRock
which
included
information
on
brokerage
commissions
and
trade
execution
practices
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
noted
the
competitive
nature
of
the
open-end
fund
marketplace,
and
that
shareholders
are
able
to
redeem
their
Fund
shares
if
they
believe
that
the
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
are
too
high
or
if
they
are
dissatisfied
with
the
performance
of
the
Fund.
Conclusion
At
the
May
Meeting,
as
a
result
of
the
discussions
that
occurred
during
the
April
Meeting,
and
as
a
culmination
of
the
Board’s
year-long
deliberative
process,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
between
the
Manager
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
for
a
one-year
term
ending
June
30,
2023,
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
between
the
Manager
and
the
Sub-Advisor,
with
respect
to
the
Fund,
for
a
one-year
term
ending
June
30,
2023.
Based
upon
its
evaluation
of
all
of
the
aforementioned
factors
in
their
totality,
as
well
as
other
information,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
was
satisfied
that
the
terms
of
the
Agreements
were
fair
and
reasonable
and
in
the
best
interest
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
In
arriving
at
its
decision
to
approve
the
Agreements,
the
Board
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
or
group
of
factors
as
all-important
or
controlling,
but
considered
all
factors
together,
and
different
Board
Members
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
factors
considered.
The
Independent
Board
Members
were
also
assisted
by
the
advice
of
independent
legal
counsel
in
making
this
determination.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics --
The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, the code of ethics was amended to update certain information and to make other non-material changes. During the period covered by this report, there have been no waivers granted under the code of ethics. The
registrant undertakes to provide a copy of the code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, who calls 1-800-441-7762.
Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:
Neil A. Cotty
Henry R. Keizer
Henry R. Keizer
Kenneth L. Urish
Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
Item 4 – Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The following table presents fees billed by Pricewaterhouse Coopers (“PwC”) in each of the last two fiscal years for the services rendered to the Fund:
(a) Audit Fees | (b) Audit-Related Fees1 | (c) Tax Fees2 | (d) All Other Fees | |||||
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
BlackRock Total Factor Fund | $42,000 | $42,000 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
The following table presents fees billed by PwC that were required to be approved by the registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) for services that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund and that are rendered on behalf of BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “BlackRock”) and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”):
Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End | |
(b) Audit-Related Fees1 | $0 | $0 |
(c) Tax Fees2 | $0 | $0 |
(d) All Other Fees3 | $0 | $0 |

The nature of the services includes assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements not included in Audit Fees, including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g)
The aggregate non-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal Year End |
BlackRock Total Factor Fund | $0 | $0 |
(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and
the Affiliated Service Providers
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
(i) – Not Applicable
(j) – Not Applicable
Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrant – Not Applicable
Item 6 – Investments

(b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
