Strategy Characteristics

Strategy Characteristics

The Fund employs an option strategy that seeks to track the returns of the Underlying ETF while providing an approximate downside buffer (the “Buffer”) in exchange for an approximate cap (the “Cap”) on upside potential. This Buffer may help reduce volatility and mitigate the effects of a decline in value of the fund to a set range of potential losses. Each hedge period will last approximately three months before transitioning to the next hedge period; during this transition period, the Fund may have a blended portfolio consisting of options with different maturity dates and corresponding payoff values. The table below provides an indication of the Buffer and Cap levels as of previous day’s market close.

The Fund’s position relative to the Cap and Buffer should be considered before investing in the Fund. Investor experiences may differ.


What is the rebalance period and how can it affect investor experience?

During the rebalance period, the Fund may have a blended portfolio consisting of both the expiring options and the new options. Options may not be held through maturity and new options positions may be initiated prior to the end of the hedge period. If the Fund has a blended portfolio during the rebalance period, the returns of the Fund during that period will be the weighted returns of the positions in the blended portfolio. A blended portfolio of expiring options and new options during a rebalance period will likely impact the Fund’s ability to realize the full benefit of the Buffer and may subject the Fund’s return to an upside limit that is slightly lower or higher than the Cap for the applicable hedge period. Accordingly, investors may bear losses against which the Buffer is anticipated to protect and may be subject to an upside limit that is lower than the Cap.

What is the hedge period and how can it affect investor experience?

The Buffer and Cap apply to Fund shares held over the hedge period. An investor that purchases Fund shares after the beginning of a hedge period, or sells Fund shares before the end of a hedge period, may not fully realize the Buffer or Cap for the hedge period and may be exposed to greater risk of loss. For example, if an investor purchases Fund shares during a hedge period at a time when the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased from its price at the beginning of the hedge period, the investor’s Buffer may be decreased. Conversely, if an investor purchases Fund shares during a hedge period at a time when the Underlying ETF’s share price has increased from its price at the beginning of the hedge period, the investor’s upside potential may be reduced and the investor may experience losses prior to reaching the downside protection offered by the Buffer.

The Cap and Buffer may vary from what is shown in the table above. All payoff figures, including the Buffer and Cap, are in reference to the option maturity date and are not guaranteed.

Sustainability Characteristics

Sustainability Characteristics

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% (or 50% for bond funds and money market funds) of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities with ESG coverage by MSCI ESG Research (certain cash positions and other asset types deemed not relevant for ESG analysis by MSCI are removed prior to calculating a fund’s gross weight; the absolute values of short positions are included but treated as uncovered), the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities. MSCI Ratings are currently unavailable for this fund.

Business Involvement

Business Involvement

Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.


Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund’s investment objective, do not change a fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.


Review the MSCI methodology behind the Business Involvement metrics, using links below.

MSCI - UN Global Compact Violators as of Aug 22, 2023 0.00%

MSCI - Oil Sands as of Aug 22, 2023 0.00%

Business Involvement Coverage as of Aug 22, 2023 26.82%
Percentage of Fund not covered as of Aug 22, 2023 73.18%
BlackRock business involvement exposures as shown above for Thermal Coal and Oil Sands are calculated and reported for companies that generate more than 5% of revenue from thermal coal or oil sands as defined by MSCI ESG Research. For the exposure to companies that generate any revenue from thermal coal or oil sands (at a 0% revenue threshold), as defined by MSCI ESG Research, it is as follows: Thermal Coal 0.00% and for Oil Sands 0.00%.

Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company’s specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.


Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund’s gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.

The values shown for “market value,” “weight,” and “notional value” (the “calculated values”) are based off of a price provided by a third-party pricing vendor for the portfolio holding and do not reflect the impact of systematic fair valuation (“the vendor price”). The vendor price is not necessarily the price at which the Fund values the portfolio holding for the purposes of determining its net asset value (the “valuation price”). Additionally, where applicable, foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the portfolio holdings denominated in non-U.S. currencies for the valuation price will be generally determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, whereas for the vendor price will be generally determined as of 4 p.m. London. The calculated values may have been different if the valuation price were to have been used to calculate such values. The vendor price is as of the most recent date for which a price is available and may not necessarily be as of the date shown above.

Please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of each Fund’s prospectus for additional information on the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.
