Non-Diversification Risk. The Emerging Bond Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a result, the Emerging Bond Fund’s performance may depend on the performance of a small number of issuers. ● Non-U.S. Issuers Risk. Securities issued by non-U.S. issuers carry different risks from securities issued by U.S. issuers. These risks include differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, political instability, regulatory and economic differences, and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital. The Emerging Bond Fund is specifically exposed to Central and South American Economic Risk. ● Operational Risk. The Emerging Bond Fund is exposed to operational risk arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Emerging Bond Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Emerging Bond Fund and Blackrock seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate for those risks that they are intended to address.

Non-Diversification Risk. To the extent the Underlying Fund becomes “non-diversified”, an Underlying Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds. To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by an Underlying Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of Underlying Fund Shares may be more volatile than the values of shares of more diversified funds. An Underlying Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the index (e.g., changes in weightings of one or more component securities). non-U.S. entity than about a U.S. entity, and many non-U.S. entities are not subject to accounting, auditing, legal and financial report standards comparable to those in the United States. Further, such entities and/or their securities may be subject to risks associated with currency controls; expropriation; changes in tax policy; greater market volatility; differing securities market structures; higher transaction costs; and various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions or in receiving payment of dividends. To the extent underlying securities held by the Fund trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the exchange on which the Fund’s shares trade is open, there may be deviations between the current price of an underlying security and the last quoted price for the underlying security on the closed foreign market. These deviations could result in the Fund experiencing premiums or discounts greater than those of ETFs that invest in domestic securities. Securities traded on foreign markets may be less liquid (harder to sell) than securities traded domestically. Foreign governments may impose restrictions on the repatriation of capital to the U.S. In addition, to the extent that the Fund buys securities denominated in a foreign currency, there are special risks such as changes in currency exchange rates and the risk that a foreign government could regulate foreign exchange transactions. In addition, to the extent investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund. Investments in depositary receipts may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.
