Dear
Shareholder,
The
combination
of
continued
economic
growth
and
cooling
inflation
provided
a
supportive
backdrop
for
investors
during
the
12-month
reporting
period
ended
January
31,
2024.
Significantly
tighter
monetary
policy
helped
to
rein
in
inflation,
and
the
Consumer
Price
Index
decelerated
substantially
in
the
first
half
of
the
period
before
stalling
between
3%
and
4%
in
the
second
half.
A
moderating
labor
market
helped
ease
inflationary
pressure,
although
wages
continued
to
grow.
Wage
and
job
growth
powered
robust
consumer
spending,
backstopping
the
economy.
On
October
7,
2023,
Hamas
launched
a
horrific
attack
on
Israel.
The
ensuing
war
will
have
a
significant
humanitarian
impact
and
could
lead
to
heightened
economic
and
market
volatility.
We
see
geopolitics
as
a
structural
market
risk
going
forward.
See
our
geopolitical
risk
dashboard
at
blackrock.com
for
more
details.
Equity
returns
were
robust
during
the
period,
as
interest
rates
stabilized
and
the
economy
proved
to
be
more
resilient
than
many
investors
expected.
The
U.S.
economy
continued
to
show
strength,
and
growth
further
accelerated
in
the
second
half
of
2023.
Large-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
posted
particularly
substantial
gains,
supported
by
the
performance
of
a
few
notable
technology
companies,
while
small-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
advanced
at
a
significantly
slower
pace.
Meanwhile,
international
developed
market
equities
also
gained,
while
emerging
market
stocks
declined
overall.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
rose
during
the
reporting
period,
driving
its
price
down,
as
investors
reacted
to
elevated
inflation
and
attempted
to
anticipate
future
interest
rate
changes.
However,
shorter-duration
U.S.
Treasuries
gained,
as
higher
yields
boosted
returns.
The
corporate
bond
market
benefited
from
improving
economic
sentiment,
although
high-yield
corporate
bond
prices
fared
significantly
better
than
investment-grade
bonds
as
demand
from
yield-seeking
investors
remained
strong.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
attempting
to
manage
persistent
inflation,
raised
interest
rates
four
times
during
the
12-month
period,
but
paused
its
tightening
in
the
second
half
of
the
period.
The
Fed
also
wound
down
its
bond-buying
programs
and
incrementally
reduced
its
balance
sheet
by
not
replacing
securities
that
reach
maturity.
Supply
constraints
appear
to
have
become
an
embedded
feature
of
the
new
macroeconomic
environment,
making
it
difficult
for
developed
economies
to
increase
production
without
sparking
higher
inflation.
Geopolitical
fragmentation
and
an
aging
population
risk
further
exacerbating
these
constraints,
keeping
the
labor
market
tight
and
wage
growth
high.
Although
the
Fed
has
stopped
tightening
for
now,
we
believe
that
the
new
economic
regime
means
that
the
Fed
will
need
to
maintain
high
rates
for
an
extended
period
despite
the
market’s
hopes
for
interest
rate
cuts,
as
reflected
in
the
recent
rally.
In
this
new
regime,
we
anticipate
greater
volatility
and
dispersion
of
returns,
creating
more
opportunities
for
selective
portfolio
management.
Looking
at
developed
market
stocks,
we
have
an
overweight
stance
on
U.S.
stocks
overall,
particularly
given
the
promise
of
emerging
AI
technologies.
We
are
also
overweight
Japanese
stocks
as
shareholder-friendly
policies
generate
increased
investor
interest,
although
we
maintain
an
underweight
stance
on
European
stocks.
In
credit,
there
are
selective
opportunities
in
the
near
term
despite
tighter
credit
and
financial
conditions.
For
fixed
income
investing
with
a
six-
to
twelve-month
horizon,
we
see
the
most
attractive
investments
in
short-term
U.S.
Treasuries
and
hard-currency
emerging
market
bonds.
Overall,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
position
themselves
to
be
prepared
for
a
decarbonizing
economy,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.
We
encourage
you
to
talk
with
your
financial
advisor
and
visit
blackrock.com
for
further
insight
about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

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

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
six-month
period
ended
January
31,
2024,
all
of
the
Fund’s
share
classes
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
ICE
BofA
3-month
U.S.
Treasury
Bill
Index.
The
Fund
is
not
managed
specifically
to
a
benchmark
due
to
the
nature
of
its
strategy,
so
the
index
return
listed
above
is
for
reference
purposes
only.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund’s
U.S.
absolute
return
strategies
led
performance
during
the
reporting
period.
Specifically,
idiosyncratic
long
positions,
event-related
trades,
capital
structure
trades,
and
thematic
trades
all
made
meaningful
contributions.
European
absolute
return
strategies,
particularly
event-related
trades,
also
contributed
to
performance.
Directional
positions
in
European
high
yield
bonds,
financial
issues,
and
mezzanine
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLO”s)
were
accretive
to
performance.
Directional
positioning
in
U.S.
high
yield
and
short-term
U.S.
investment-grade
bonds
was
also
additive.
U.S.
carry
(income)
strategies
also
helped
results,
led
by
holdings
in
enhanced
equipment
trust
certificates,
commercial
mortgage-backed
securities,
and
CLOs.
European
carry
strategies,
which
primarily
consisted
of
CLOs
and
bank
loans,
further
aided
performance.
Idiosyncratic
short
positions
in
the
Fund’s
U.S.
absolute
return
strategies,
along
with
U.S.
and
European
risk-management
strategies,
detracted
from
performance.
Relative
value
positions
in
European
investment-grade
bonds
also
detracted
modestly.
As
part
of
its
investment
strategy,
the
Fund
uses
derivatives
to
manage
duration
(sensitivity
to
interest
rate
movements)
and
currency
risk.
The
Fund
also
has
the
flexibility
to
utilize
derivatives
in
order
to
express
a
positive
or
negative
view
on
a
particular
issuer
or
sector,
or
to
manage
overall
credit
risk.
Derivatives
may
also
serve
as
a
more
liquid
way
to
establish
positions,
and—depending
on
the
market
environment—the
Fund
may
utilize
various
instruments,
including
but
not
limited
to
bonds,
equities,
and
derivatives.
The
use
of
derivatives
had
a
marginally
positive
impact
on
the
Fund’s
performance
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund’s
cash
position
had
no
material
impact
on
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
Fund
started
the
period
at
a
net
long
position
of
70%,
and
it
subsequently
cut
risk
to
end
January
2024
at
a
net
long
position
of
59%.
The
net
long
reduction
was
primarily
due
to
decreases
in
long
positions
in
the
United
States
and
emerging
markets.
In
both
the
United
States
and
Europe,
the
investment
adviser
increased
the
Fund’s
net
long
positions
in
high
yield
cash
bonds
while
decreasing
its
allocation
to
investment-
grade
corporates.
In
Europe,
it
increased
the
extent
of
short
positions
in
credit
default
indexes
and
marginally
increased
the
Fund’s
weighting
in
bank
loans.
In
the
United
States,
the
investment
adviser
marginally
decreased
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
bank
loans
and
made
a
small
increase
in
collateralized
mortgage-backed
securities.
Overall,
the
Fund
had
a
continued
emphasis
on
absolute
return
strategies,
with
a
focus
on
opportunities
in
issuers
with
a
potential
catalyst.
The
Fund’s
cash
position
was
above
15%
at
the
close
of
the
period.
The
Fund
may
express
long
and
short
positions
through
derivatives,
including
the
credit
default
swap
market,
which
does
not
require
a
cash
outlay
like
that
of
traditional
cash
bonds.
The
Fund
sold
sovereign,
investment-grade,
and
high
yield
bonds
and
utilized
more
credit
default
swaps.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
investment
adviser
believed
the
current
market
backdrop,
which
was
characterized
by
continued
elevated
volatility
and
persistently
high
correlations,
underscored
the
importance
of
an
active
approach
to
credit
investing
in
order
to
capitalize
on
opportunities
and
mitigate
risk.
At
period-end,
the
Fund
maintained
a
larger
allocation
to
absolute
return
strategies
that
were
expected
to
benefit
from
this
environment.
The
Fund
ended
the
period
with
net
long
credit
positions
of
15%
of
net
assets
in
Europe,
41%
in
the
United
States,
3%
in
Asia
and
the
emerging
markets,
and
59%
overall.

The
Benefits
and
Risks
of
Leveraging
7
The
Benefits
and
Risks
of
Leveraging
/
About
Fund
Performance
The
Fund
may
utilize
leverage
to
seek
to
enhance
returns
and
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
However,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
these
objectives
can
be
achieved
in
all
interest
rate
environments.  
The
Fund
may
utilize
leverage
by
entering
into
reverse
repurchase
agreements. 
In
general,
the
concept
of
leveraging
is
based
on
the
premise
that
the
financing
cost
of
leverage,
which
is
based
on
short-term
interest
rates,
is
normally
lower
than
the
income
earned
by
the
Fund
on
its
longer-term
portfolio
investments
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage.
To
the
extent
that
the
total
assets
of
the
Fund
(including
the
assets
obtained
from
leverage)
are
invested
in
higher-yielding
portfolio
investments,
the
Fund’s
shareholders
benefit
from
the
incremental
net
income.
The
interest
earned
on
securities
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage
is
distributed
to
the
Fund’s
shareholders,
and
the
value
of
these
portfolio
holdings
is
reflected
in
the
Fund’s
per
share
NAV.
However,
in
order
to
benefit
shareholders,
the
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds
must
exceed
the
ongoing
costs
associated
with
the
leverage.
If
interest
and
other
ongoing
costs
of
leverage
exceed
the
Fund’s
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds,
income
to
shareholders
is
lower
than
if
the
Fund
had
not
used
leverage.
Furthermore,
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
investments
generally
varies
inversely
with
the
direction
of
long-term
interest
rates,
although
other
factors
can
also
influence
the
value
of
portfolio
investments.
As
a
result,
changes
in
interest
rates
can
influence
the
Fund’s
NAV
positively
or
negatively
in
addition
to
the
impact
on
the
Fund’s
performance
from
leverage.
Changes
in
the
direction
of
interest
rates
are
difficult
to
predict
accurately,
and
there
is
no
assurance
that
the
Fund’s
leveraging
strategy
will
be
successful.
The
use
of
leverage
also
generally
causes
greater
changes
in
the
Fund’s
NAV
and
dividend
rates
than
comparable
portfolios
without
leverage.
In
a
declining
market,
leverage
is
likely
to
cause
a
greater
decline
in
the
NAV
of the
Fund’s
shares
than
if
the
Fund
were
not
leveraged.
In
addition,
the
Fund
may
be
required
to
sell
portfolio
securities
at
inopportune
times
or
at
distressed
values
in
order
to
comply
with
regulatory
requirements
applicable
to
the
use
of
leverage
or
as
required
by
the
terms
of
the
leverage
instruments,
which
may
cause
the
Fund
to
incur
losses.
The
use
of
leverage
may
limit the
Fund’s
ability
to
invest
in
certain
types
of
securities
or
use
certain
types
of
hedging
strategies.
The
Fund
incurs
expenses
in
connection
with
the
use
of
leverage,
all
of
which
are
borne
by
the
Fund’s
shareholders
and
may
reduce
income.
About
Fund
Performance 
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
eligible
investors.
Class
K
Shares
performance
shown
prior
to
the
Class
K
Shares
inception
date
of
March
28,
2016
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 
4.00
%
and
a
service
fee
of
0.25%
per
year
(but
no
distribution
fee).
Certain
redemptions
of
these
shares
may
be
subject
to
a
contingent
deferred
sales
charge
(“CDSC”)
where
no
initial
sales
charge
was
paid
at
the
time
of
purchase.
These
shares
are
generally
available
through
financial
intermediaries.
Investor
C
Shares
 are
subject
to
a 1.00%
CDSC
if
redeemed
within
one
year
of
purchase.
In
addition,
these
shares
are
subject
to
a
distribution
fee
of
0.75
%
per
year
and
a
service
fee
of 
0.25%
per
year.
These
shares
are
generally
available
through
financial
intermediaries.
These
shares
automatically
convert
to
Investor
A
Shares
after
approximately eight
years.
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
the

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 
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

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

fees
after
the
applicable
termination

Disclosure
of
Expenses
2024
BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
8
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
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. Pursuant
to Rule
18f-4
under
the
1940
Act,
among
other
things,
the
Fund
must
either
use
derivative
financial
instruments
with
embedded
leverage
in
a
limited
manner
or
comply
with
an
outer
limit
on
fund
leverage
risk
based
on
value-at-risk.
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
Financial
Statements.

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
Global
Long/Short
Credit
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
without
a
sales
charge
and
only
to
certain
eligible
investors.
Investor

with
an
initial
sales
charge,
and
may
be
subject
to
a

2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
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.
Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
dates
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Fund
is
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Under
the
applicable
foreign
tax
laws,
a
withholding
tax
at
various
rates
may
be
imposed
on
capital
gains,
dividends
and
interest.
Upon
notification
from
issuers,
a
portion
of
the
dividend
income
received
from
a
real
estate
investment
trust
may
be
redesignated
as
a
reduction
of
cost
of
the
related
investment
and/or
realized
gain.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities
and
payment-in-kind
interest,
are
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. For
convertible
securities,
premiums
attributable
to
the
debt
instrument
are
amortized,
but
premiums
attributable
to
the
conversion
feature
are
not
amortized.
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
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.
Foreign
Taxes:
The
Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
on
income,
stock
dividends,
capital
gains
on
investments,
or
certain
foreign
currency
transactions.
All
foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
the
Fund
and
are
reflected
in
its
Statement
of
Operations
as
follows:
foreign
taxes
withheld
at
source
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
income,
foreign
taxes
on
securities
lending
income
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
securities
lending
income,
foreign
taxes
on
stock
dividends
are
presented
as
“Foreign
taxes
withheld”,
and
foreign
taxes
on
capital
gains
from
sales
of
investments
and
foreign
taxes
on
foreign
currency
transactions
are
included
in
their
respective
net
realized
gain
(loss)
categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
January
31,
2024
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the  Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Fund
files
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Fund
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction’s
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The Statement
of
Operations
includes
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes.

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 and
paid
at
least
annually.
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.
Deferred
Compensation
Plan:
Under
the
Deferred
Compensation
Plan
(the
“Plan”)
approved
by
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
Trust
(the
“Board”), the 
trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Fund,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act
(“Independent
Trustees
”),
may
defer
a
portion
of
their
annual
complex-wide
compensation.
Deferred
amounts
earn
an
approximate
return
as
though
equivalent
dollar
amounts
had
been
invested
in
common
shares
of
certain
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex
selected
by
the
Independent
Trustees
.
This
has
the
same
economic
effect
for
the
Independent 
Trustees
as
if
the
Independent 
Trustees’
had
invested
the
deferred
amounts
directly
in
certain
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex.  
The
Plan
is
not
funded
and
obligations
thereunder
represent
general
unsecured
claims
against
the
general
assets
of
the
Fund,
as
applicable.
Deferred
compensation
liabilities,
if
any, are
included
in
the Trustees
and
Officer’s
fees
payable
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
will
remain
as
a
liability
of
the
Fund
until
such
amounts
are
distributed
in
accordance
with
the
Plan.
Net
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
value
of
participants’
deferral
accounts
is
allocated
among
the
participating
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex
and
reflected
as
Trustee
and
Officer
expense
on
the
Statement(s)
of
Operations.
The
Trustee
and
Officer
expense
may
be
negative
as
a
result
of
a
decrease
in
value
of
the
deferred
accounts.
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.  
3.
INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
financial
statements)
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
Board
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Manager
as
the
valuation
designee
for
the
Fund.
The
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of
its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
the
Manager’s
policies.
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
the
Manager’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value.
The
Manager
has
formed
a
committee
(the
“Valuation
Committee”)
to
develop
pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments,
with
assistance
from
other
BlackRock
pricing
committees.
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

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. Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
bid
prices
from
one
or
more
independent
brokers
or
dealers
as
obtained
from
a
third-party
pricing
service. 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.
Exchange-traded
options
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
last bid
and
ask
prices
at
the
close
of
the
options
market in
which
the
options
trade.
An
exchange-
traded
option
for
which there
is
no
mean
price
is
valued
at
the
last
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short

price.
If
no
bid
or
ask
price
is
available,
the
prior
day’s
price will
be
used,
unless
it
is
determined
that
the
prior
day’s
price
no
longer
reflects
the
fair
value
of
the
option.
Over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
options
and
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
are
valued
by
an
independent

incorporates
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
the

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
Valuation
Committee
in
accordance
with the
Manager's policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the
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
Valuation
Committee
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
Valuation
Committee
deems
relevant
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement.
For
investments
in
equity
or
debt
issued
by
privately
held
companies
or
funds
(“Private
Company”
or
collectively,
the
“Private
Companies”)
and
other
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the
fair
valuation
approaches
that
are
used
by
the
Valuation
Committee
and
third-party
pricing
services
utilized
by
the
Valuation
Committee
include one
or
a
combination
of,
but
not
limited
to,
the
following
inputs.  
Investments
in
series
of
preferred
stock
issued
by
Private
Companies
are
typically
valued
utilizing
market
approach
in
determining
the
enterprise
value
of
the
company.
Such
investments
often
contain
rights
and
preferences
that
differ
from
other
series
of
preferred
and
common
stock
of
the
same
issuer.
Enterprise
valuation
techniques
such
as
an
option
pricing
model
(“OPM”),
a
probability
weighted
expected
return
model
(“PWERM”),
current
value
method or
a
hybrid
of
those
techniques
are
used
as
deemed
appropriate
under
the
circumstances.
The
use
of these
valuation techniques
involves
a
determination
of
the
exit
scenarios
of
the
investment
in
order
to
appropriately
allocate
the
enterprise
value
of
the
company
among
the
various
parts
of
its
capital
structure. 
The
Private
Companies
are
not
subject
to
the
public
company
disclosure,
timing,
and
reporting
standards
applicable
to other
investments
held
by the
Fund.
Typically,
the
most
recently
available
information
by
a
Private
Company
is
as
of
a
date
that
is
earlier
than
the
date the
Fund
is
calculating
its
NAV.
This
factor
may
result
in
a
difference
between
the
value
of
the
investment
and
the
price the
Fund
could
receive
upon
the
sale
of
the
investment.
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,
yield
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
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
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
Private
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.

SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Asset-Backed
and
Mortgage-Backed
Securities:
Asset-backed
securities
are
generally
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
or
as
debt
instruments.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
represent
undivided
fractional
ownership
interests
in
an
underlying
pool
of
assets.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
debt
instruments,
which
are
also
known
as
collateralized
obligations,
are
typically
issued
as
the
debt
of
a
special
purpose
entity
organized
solely
for
the
purpose
of
owning
such
assets
and
issuing
such
debt.
Asset-backed
securities
are
often
backed
by
a
pool
of
assets
representing
the
obligations
of
a
number
of
different
parties.
The
yield
characteristics
of
certain
asset-backed
securities
may
differ
from
traditional
debt
securities.
One
such
major
difference
is
that
all
or
a
principal
part
of
the
obligations
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time
because
the
underlying
assets
(i.e.,
loans)
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time.
As
a
result,
a
decrease
in
interest
rates
in
the
market
may
result
in
increases
in
the
level
of
prepayments
as
borrowers,
particularly
mortgagors,
refinance
and
repay
their
loans.
An
increased
prepayment
rate
with
respect
to
an
asset-backed
security
will
have
the
effect
of
shortening
the
maturity
of
the
security.
In
addition,
a
fund
may
subsequently
have
to
reinvest
the
proceeds
at
lower
interest
rates.
If
a
fund
has
purchased
such
an
asset-backed
security
at
a
premium,
a
faster
than
anticipated
prepayment
rate
could
result
in
a
loss
of
principal
to
the
extent
of
the
premium
paid. 
For
mortgage
pass-through
securities
(the
“Mortgage
Assets”)
there
are
a
number
of
important
differences
among
the
agencies
and
instrumentalities
of
the
U.S.
Government
that
issue
mortgage-related
securities
and
among
the
securities
that
they
issue.
For
example,
mortgage-related
securities
guaranteed
by
Ginnie
Mae
are
guaranteed
as
to
the
timely
payment
of
principal
and
interest
by
Ginnie
Mae
and
such
guarantee
is
backed
by
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States.
However,
mortgage-related
securities
issued
by
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
including
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae
guaranteed
mortgage
pass-through
certificates,
which
are
solely
the
obligations
of
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
are
not
backed
by
or
entitled
to
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States,
but
are
supported
by
the
right
of
the
issuer
to
borrow
from
the
U.S.
Treasury. 
Non-agency
mortgage-backed
securities
are
securities
issued
by
non-governmental
issuers
and
have
no
direct
or
indirect
government
guarantees
of
payment
and
are
subject
to
various
risks.
Non-agency
mortgage
loans
are
obligations
of
the
borrowers
thereunder
only
and
are
not
typically
insured
or
guaranteed
by
any
other
person
or
entity.
The
ability
of
a
borrower
to
repay
a
loan
is
dependent
upon
the
income
or
assets
of
the
borrower.
A
number
of
factors,
including
a
general
economic
downturn,
acts
of
God,
terrorism,
social
unrest
and
civil
disturbances,
may
impair
a
borrower’s
ability
to
repay
its
loans.
Collateralized
Debt
Obligations:
Collateralized
debt
obligations
(“CDOs”),
including
collateralized
bond
obligations
(“CBOs”)
and
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLOs”),
are
types
of
asset-backed
securities.
A
CDO
is
an
entity
that
is
backed
by
a
diversified
pool
of
debt
securities
(CBOs)
or
syndicated
bank
loans
(CLOs).
The
cash
flows
of
the
CDO
can
be
split
into
multiple
segments,
called
“tranches,”
which
will
vary
in
risk
profile
and
yield.
The
riskiest
segment
is
the
subordinated
or
“equity”
tranche.
This
tranche
bears
the
greatest
risk
of
defaults
from
the
underlying
assets
in
the
CDO
and
serves
to
protect
the
other,
more
senior,
tranches
from
default
in
all
but
the
most
severe
circumstances.
Since
it
is
shielded
from
defaults
by
the
more
junior
tranches,
a
“senior”
tranche
will
typically
have
higher
credit
ratings
and
lower
yields
than
their
underlying
securities,
and
often
receive
investment
grade
ratings
from
one
or
more
of
the
nationally
recognized
rating
agencies.
Despite
the
protection
from
the
more
junior
tranches,
senior
tranches
can
experience
substantial
losses
due
to
actual
defaults,
increased
sensitivity
to
future
defaults
and
the
disappearance
of
one
or
more
protecting
tranches
as
a
result
of
changes
in
the
credit
profile
of
the
underlying
pool
of
assets. 
Multiple
Class
Pass-Through
Securities:
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities,
including
collateralized
mortgage
obligations
(“CMOs”)
and
commercial
mortgage-backed
securities,
may
be
issued
by
Ginnie
Mae,
U.S.
Government
agencies
or
instrumentalities
or
by
trusts
formed
by
private
originators
of,
or
investors
in,
mortgage
loans.
In
general,
CMOs
are
debt
obligations
of
a
legal
entity
that
are
collateralized
by
a
pool
of
residential
or
commercial
mortgage
loans
or
Mortgage
Assets.
The
payments
on
these
are
used
to
make
payments
on
the
CMOs
or
multiple
pass-through
securities.
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities
represent
direct
ownership
interests
in
the
Mortgage
Assets.
Classes
of
CMOs
include
interest
only
(“IOs”),
principal
only
(“POs”),
planned
amortization
classes
and
targeted
amortization
classes.
IOs
and
POs
are
stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
representing
interests
in
a
pool
of
mortgages,
the
cash
flow
from
which
has
been
separated
into
interest
and
principal
components.
IOs
receive
the
interest
portion
of
the
cash
flow
while
POs
receive
the
principal
portion.
IOs
and
POs
can
be
extremely
volatile
in
response
to
changes
in
interest
rates.
As
interest
rates
rise
and
fall,
the
value
of
IOs
tends
to
move
in
the
same
direction
as
interest
rates.
POs
perform
best
when
prepayments
on
the
underlying
mortgages
rise
since
this
increases
the
rate
at
which
the
principal
is
returned
and
the
yield
to
maturity
on
the
PO.
When
payments
on
mortgages
underlying
a
PO
are
slower
than
anticipated,
the
life
of
the
PO
is
lengthened
and
the
yield
to
maturity
is
reduced.
If
the
underlying
Mortgage
Assets
experience
greater
than
anticipated
prepayments
of
principal,
a
fund’s
initial
investment
in
the
IOs
may
not
fully
recoup. 
Zero-Coupon
Bonds:
Zero-coupon
bonds
are
normally
issued
at
a
significant
discount
from
face
value
and
do
not
provide
for
periodic
interest
payments.
These
bonds
may
experience
greater
volatility
in
market
value
than
other
debt
obligations
of
similar
maturity
which
provide
for
regular
interest
payments. 
Capital
Securities
and
Trust
Preferred
Securities:
Capital
securities,
including
trust
preferred
securities,
are
typically
issued
by
corporations,
generally
in
the
form
of
interest-bearing
notes
with
preferred
securities
characteristics.
In
the
case
of
trust
preferred
securities,
an
affiliated
business
trust
of
a
corporation
issues
these
securities,
generally
in
the
form
of
beneficial
interests
in
subordinated
debentures
or
similarly
structured
securities.
The
securities
can
be
structured
with
either
a
fixed
or
adjustable
coupon
that
can
have
either
a
perpetual
or
stated
maturity
date.
For
trust
preferred
securities,
the
issuing
bank
or
corporation
pays
interest
to
the
trust,
which
is
then
distributed
to
holders
of
these
securities
as
a
dividend.
Dividends
can
be
deferred
without
creating
an
event
of
default
or
acceleration,
although
maturity
cannot
take
place
unless
all
cumulative
payment
obligations
have
been
met.
The
deferral
of
payments
does
not
affect
the
purchase
or
sale
of
these
securities
in
the
open
market.
These
securities
generally
are
rated
below
that
of
the
issuing
company’s
senior
debt
securities
and
are
freely
callable
at
the
issuer’s
option. 
Preferred
Stocks:
Preferred
stock
has
a
preference
over
common
stock
in
liquidation
(and
generally
in
receiving
dividends
as
well),
but
is
subordinated
to
the
liabilities
of
the
issuer
in
all
respects.
As
a
general
rule,
the
market
value
of
preferred
stock
with
a
fixed
dividend
rate
and
no
conversion
element
varies
inversely
with
interest
rates
and
perceived
credit
risk,
while
the
market
price
of
convertible
preferred
stock
generally
also
reflects
some
element
of
conversion
value.
Because
preferred
stock
is
junior
to
debt
securities
and
other
obligations
of
the
issuer,
deterioration
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
issuer
will
cause
greater
changes
in
the
value
of
a
preferred
stock
than
in
a
more
senior
debt
security
with
similar
stated
yield
characteristics.
Unlike
interest
payments
on
debt
securities,
preferred
stock
dividends
are
payable
only
if
declared
by
the
issuer’s
board
of
directors.
Preferred
stock
also
may
be
subject
to
optional
or
mandatory
redemption
provisions. 
Warrants:
Warrants
entitle
a
fund
to
purchase
a
specified
number
of
shares
of
common
stock
and
are
non-income
producing.
The
purchase
price
and
number
of
shares
are
subject
to
adjustment
under
certain
conditions
until
the
expiration
date
of
the
warrants,
if
any.
If
the
price
of
the
underlying
stock
does
not
rise
above
the
strike
price
before
the
warrant
expires,
the
warrant
generally
expires
without
any
value
and
a
fund
will
lose
any
amount
it
paid
for
the
warrant.
Thus,
investments
in
warrants
may
involve

risk
than
investments
in
common
stock.
Warrants
may
trade
in
the
same
markets
as
their
underlying
stock;
however,
the
price
of
the
warrant
does
not
necessarily
move
with
the
price
of
the
underlying
stock. 
Floating
Rate
Loan
Interests:
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
typically
issued
to
companies
(the
“borrower”)
by
banks,
other
financial
institutions,
or
privately
and
publicly
offered
corporations
(the
“lender”).
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
generally
non-investment
grade,
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
troubled
or
uncertain
and
companies
that
are
highly
leveraged
or
in
bankruptcy
proceedings.
In
addition,
transactions
in
floating
rate
loan
interests
may
settle
on
a
delayed
basis,
which
may
result
in
proceeds
from
the
sale
not
being
readily
available
for
a
fund
to
make
additional
investments
or
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
may
include
fully
funded
term
loans
or
revolving
lines
of
credit.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
typically
senior
in
the
corporate
capital
structure
of
the
borrower.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
generally
pay
interest
at
rates
that
are
periodically
determined
by
reference
to
a
base
lending
rate
plus
a
premium.
Since
the
rates
reset
only
periodically,
changes
in
prevailing
interest
rates
(and
particularly
sudden
and
significant
changes)
can
be
expected
to
cause
some
fluctuations
in
the
NAV
of
a
fund
to
the
extent
that
it
invests
in
floating
rate
loan
interests.
The
base
lending
rates
are
generally
the
lending
rate
offered
by
one
or
more
European
banks,
such
as
the
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“SOFR”),
the
prime
rate
offered
by
one
or
more
U.S.
banks
or
the
certificate
of
deposit
rate.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
may
involve
foreign
borrowers,
and
investments
may
be
denominated
in
foreign
currencies.
These
investments
are
treated
as
investments
in
debt
securities
for
purposes
of
a
fund’s
investment
policies. 
When
a
fund
purchases
a
floating
rate
loan
interest,
it
may
receive
a
facility
fee
and
when
it
sells
a
floating
rate
loan
interest,
it
may
pay
a
facility
fee.
On
an
ongoing
basis,
a
fund
may
receive
a
commitment
fee
based
on
the
undrawn
portion
of
the
underlying
line
of
credit
amount
of
a
floating
rate
loan
interest.
Facility
and
commitment
fees
are
typically
amortized
to
income
over
the
term
of
the
loan
or
term
of
the
commitment,
respectively.
Consent
and
amendment
fees
are
recorded
to
income
as
earned.
Prepayment
penalty
fees,
which
may
be
received
by
a
fund
upon
the
prepayment
of
a
floating
rate
loan
interest
by
a
borrower,
are
recorded
as
realized
gains.
A
fund
may
invest
in
multiple
series
or
tranches
of
a
loan.
A
different
series
or
tranche
may
have
varying
terms
and
carry
different
associated
risks.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
usually
freely
callable
at
the
borrower’s
option.
A
fund
may
invest
in
such
loans
in
the
form
of
participations
in
loans
(“Participations”)
or
assignments
(“Assignments”)
of
all
or
a
portion
of
loans
from
third
parties.
Participations
typically
will
result
in
a
fund
having
a
contractual
relationship
only
with
the
lender,
not
with
the
borrower.
A
fund
has
the
right
to
receive
payments
of
principal,
interest
and
any
fees
to
which
it
is
entitled
only
from
the
lender
selling
the
Participation
and
only
upon
receipt
by
the
lender
of
the
payments
from
the
borrower.
In
connection
with
purchasing
Participations,
a
fund
generally
will
have
no
right
to
enforce
compliance
by
the
borrower
with
the
terms
of
the
loan
agreement,
nor
any
rights
of
offset
against
the
borrower.
A
fund
may
not
benefit
directly
from
any
collateral
supporting
the
loan
in
which
it
has
purchased
the
Participation.
As
a
result,
a
fund
assumes
the
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
the
lender
that
is
selling
the
Participation.
A
fund’s
investment
in
loan
participation
interests
involves
the
risk
of
insolvency
of
the
financial
intermediaries
who
are
parties
to
the
transactions.
In
the
event
of
the
insolvency
of
the
lender
selling
the
Participation,
a
fund
may
be
treated
as
a
general
creditor
of
the
lender
and
may
not
benefit
from
any
offset
between
the
lender
and
the
borrower.
Assignments
typically
result
in
a
fund
having
a
direct
contractual
relationship
with
the
borrower,
and
a
fund
may
enforce
compliance
by
the
borrower
with
the
terms
of
the
loan
agreement.
In
connection
with
floating
rate
loan
interests,
the
Fund
may
also
enter
into
unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests
(“commitments”).
In
connection
with
these
commitments,
the
fund
earns
a
commitment
fee,
typically
set
as
a
percentage
of
the
commitment
amount.
Such
fee
income,
which
is
included
in
interest
income
in
the
Statement
of
Operations,
is
recognized
ratably
over
the
commitment
period.
Unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests
are
marked-to-market
daily,
and
any
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
is
included
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
Statement
of
Operations.
As
of
period
end,
the
Fund
had
the
following
unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests: 
Forward
Commitments, When-Issued
and
Delayed
Delivery
Securities
:
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
on
a
when-issued
basis
and
may
purchase
or
sell
securities
on
a
forward
commitment
basis.
Settlement
of
such
transactions
normally
occurs
within
a
month
or
more
after
the
purchase
or
sale
commitment
is
made.
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
under
such
conditions
with
the
intention
of
actually
acquiring
them
but
may
enter
into
a
separate
agreement
to
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
Since
the
value
of
securities
purchased
may
fluctuate
prior
to
settlement,
the
Fund
may
be
required
to
pay
more
at
settlement
than
the
security
is
worth.
In
addition,
a
fund
is
not
entitled
to
any
of
the
interest
earned
prior
to
settlement.
When
purchasing
a
security
on
a
delayed
delivery
basis,
the
Fund
assumes
the
rights
and
risks
of
ownership
of
the
security,
including
the
risk
of
price
and
yield
fluctuations.
In
the
event
of
default
by
the
counterparty,
the
Fund’s
maximum
amount
of
loss
is
the
unrealized
appreciation
of
unsettled
when-issued
transactions.
These
types
of
securities
may
be
considered
unfunded
and
may
obligate
the
Fund
to
make
future
cash
payments.
An
unfunded
commitment
is
marked-to-market
and
any
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
is
separately
presented
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
Statement
of
Operations.
Borrowed
Bond
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
referred
to
as
borrowed
bond
agreements
when
entered
into
in
connection
with
short
sales
of
bonds.
In
a
borrowed
bond
agreement,
a
fund
borrows
a
bond
from
a
counterparty
in
exchange
for
cash
collateral.
The
agreement
contains
a
commitment
that
the
security
and
the
cash
will
be
returned
to
the
counterparty
and
a
fund
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date.
Certain
agreements
have
no
stated
maturity
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Earnings
on
cash
collateral
and
compensation
to
the
lender
of
the
bond
are
based
on
agreed
upon
rates
between
a
fund
and
the
counterparty.
The
value
of
the
underlying
cash
collateral
approximates
the
market
value
and
accrued
interest
of
the
borrowed
bond.
To
the
extent
that
a
borrowed
bond
transaction
exceeds
one
business
day,
the
value
of
the
cash
collateral
in
the
possession
of
the
counterparty
is
monitored
on
a
daily
basis
to
ensure
the
adequacy
of
the
collateral.
As
the
market
value
of
the
borrowed
bond
changes,
the
cash
collateral
is
periodically
increased
or
decreased
with
a
frequency
and
in
amounts
prescribed
in
the
borrowed
bond
agreement.
A
fund
may
also
experience
delays
in
gaining
access
to
the
collateral.

Reverse
Repurchase
Agreements:
Reverse
repurchase
agreements
are
agreements
with
qualified
third-party
broker
dealers
in
which
a
fund
sells
securities
to
a
bank
or
broker-dealer
and
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
securities
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
A
fund
receives
cash
from
the
sale
to
use
for
other
investment
purposes.
During
the
term
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
a
fund
continues
to
receive
the
principal
and
interest
payments
on
the
securities
sold.
Certain
agreements
have
no
stated
maturity
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Interest
on
the
value
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreements
issued
and
outstanding
is
based
upon
competitive
market
rates
determined
at
the
time
of
issuance.
A
fund
may
utilize
reverse
repurchase
agreements
when
it
is
anticipated
that
the
interest
income
to
be
earned
from
the
investment
of
the
proceeds
of
the
transaction
is
greater
than
the
interest
expense
of
the
transaction.
Reverse
repurchase
agreements
involve
leverage
risk.
If
a
fund
suffers
a
loss
on
its
investment
of
the
transaction
proceeds
from
a
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
a
fund
would
still
be
required
to
pay
the
full
repurchase
price.
Further,
a
fund
remains
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
market
value
of
the
securities
repurchased
declines
below
the
repurchase
price.
In
such
cases,
a
fund
would
be
required
to
return
a
portion
of
the
cash
received
from
the
transaction
or
provide
additional
securities
to
the
counterparty. 
Cash
received
in
exchange
for
securities
delivered
plus
accrued
interest
due
to
the
counterparty
is
recorded
as
a
liability
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
at
face
value
including
accrued
interest.
Due
to
the
short-term
nature
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreements,
face
value
approximates
fair
value.
Interest
payments
made
by
a
fund
to
the
counterparties
are
recorded
as
a
component
of
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
In
periods
of
increased
demand
for
the
security,
a
fund
may
receive
a
fee
for
the
use
of
the
security
by
the
counterparty,
which
may
result
in
interest
income
to
a
fund.
For
the
six
months
ended
January
31,
2024,
the
average
daily
amount
of
reverse
repurchase
agreements outstanding and
the
weighted
average
interest
rate
for
the
Fund
were
$622,770
and
4.82%,
respectively.
Borrowed
bond
agreements
and
reverse
repurchase
transactions are
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(each,
an
“MRA”),
which
permit
a
fund,
under
certain
circumstances,
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
under
the
MRA
with
collateral
held
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty
and
create
one
single
net
payment
due
to
or
from
a
fund.
With
borrowed
bond
agreements
and
reverse
repurchase
transactions,
typically
a
fund
and
counterparty
under
an
MRA
are
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge,
or
use
the
collateral
associated
with
the
transaction.
Bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
the
MRA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
MRA,
a
fund
receives
or
posts
securities
and
cash
as
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price
to
be
paid
or
received
by
a
fund
upon
the
maturity
of
the
transaction.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
a
fund
is
considered
an
unsecured
creditor
to
the
extent
that
the
aggregate
market
value
of
the
cash
collateral
and
the
purchased
securities
it
holds
is
less
than
the
repurchase
price.
As
such,
the
receipt
of
any
shortfall
or
any
closeout
amount
owed
to
a
fund
upon
termination
of
the
MRA
could
be
delayed
or
not
received
at
all.
As
of
period
end,
the
following
table
is
a
summary
of
the
Fund’s
open
borrowed
bond
agreements
by
counterparty
which
are
subject
to
offset
under
an
MRA
on
a
net
basis:
Short
Sale
Transactions:
 In
short
sale
transactions,
a
fund
sells
a
security
it
does
not
hold
in
anticipation
of
a
decline
in
the
market
price
of
that
security.
When
a
fund
makes
a
short
sale,
it
will
borrow
the
security
sold
short
(borrowed
bond)
and
deliver
the
fixed-income
security
to
the
counterparty
to
which
it
sold
the
security
short.
An
amount
equal
to
the
proceeds
received
by
a
fund
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
an
equivalent
liability.
The
amount
of
the
liability
is
subsequently
marked-to-market
to
reflect
the
market
value
of
the
short
sale.
A
fund
is
required
to
repay
the
counterparty
interest
on
the
security
sold
short,
which,
if
applicable,
is
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
A
fund
is
exposed
to
market
risk
based
on
the
amount,
if
any,
that
the
market
value
of
the
security
increases
beyond
the
market
value
at
which
the
position
was
sold.
Thus,
a
short
sale
of
a
security
involves
the
risk
that
instead
of
declining,
the
price
of
the
security
sold
short
will
rise.
The
short
sale
of
securities
involves
the
possibility
of
an
unlimited
loss
since
there
is
an
unlimited
potential
for
the
market
price
of
the
security
sold
short
to
increase.
A
gain
is
limited
to
the
price
at
which
a
fund
sold
the
security
short.
A
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recognized
upon
the
termination
of
a
short
sale
if
the
market
price
is
either
less
than
or
greater
than
the
proceeds
originally
received.
There
is

BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
56
records
a
liability
to
reflect
the
obligation
to
return
the
security
to
the
broker. The
amount
of
the
liability
is
subsequently
marked-to-market
to
reflect
the
market
value
of
the
short
sale. A
fund
maintains
a
segregated
account
of
securities
or
deposits
cash
with
the
broker-dealer
as
collateral
for
the
short
sales.
Cash
deposited
with
the
broker
is
recorded
as
an
asset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
segregated
as
collateral
are
denoted
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments. A
fund
may
pay
a
financing
fee
for
the
difference
between
the
market
value
of
the
short
position
and
the
cash
collateral
deposited
with
the
broker
which
would
be
recorded
as
interest
expense.
A
fund
is
required
to
repay
the
counterparty
any
dividends
received
on
the
security
sold
short,
which,
if
applicable,
is
shown
as
dividend
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
A
fund
may
pay
a
fee
on
the
assets
borrowed
from
the
counterparty,
which,
if
applicable,
is
shown
as
broker
fees
and
expenses
on
short
sales
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
A
fund
is
exposed
to
market
risk
based
on
the
amount,
if
any,
that
the
market
value
of
the
security
increases
beyond
the
market
value
at
which
the
position
was
sold.
Thus,
a
short
sale
of
a
security
involves
the
risk
that
instead
of
declining,
the
price
of
the
security
sold
short
will
rise.
The
short
sale
of
securities
involves
the
possibility
of
an
unlimited
loss
since
there
is
an
unlimited
potential
for
the
market
price
of
the
security
sold
short
to
increase.
A
gain
is
limited
to
the
price
at
which
a
fund
sold
the
security
short.
A
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recognized
upon
the
termination
of
a
short
sale
if
the
market
price
is
either
less
than
or
greater
than
the
proceeds
originally
received.
There
is
no
assurance
that
a
fund
will
be
able
to
close
out
a
short
position
at
a
particular
time
or
at
an
acceptable
price.

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
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 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
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
 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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. The
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
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
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
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
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
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
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
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
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
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
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

a
combination
or
basket
of
single-name

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

of
cash
equal

less
the

of
the
security
or
underlying

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.
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
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.
Interest
rate
swaps
—
Interest
rate
swaps
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates
or
to
manage
duration,
the
yield
curve
or
interest
rate
(interest
rate
risk).

Interest
rate
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
one
party
pays
a
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
in
exchange
for
another
party’s
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
on
the
same
notional
amount
for
a
specified
period
of
time.
In
more
complex
interest
rate
swaps,
the
notional
principal
amount
may
decline
(or
amortize)
over
time.
Swap
transactions
involve,
to
varying
degrees,
elements
of
interest
rate,
credit
and
market
risks
in
excess
of
the
amounts
recognized
in
the
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
derivative
contract
counterparties.
An
ISDA
Master
Agreement
is
a
bilateral
agreement
between the
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, the
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(s)
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
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
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

The
Manager
contractually
agreed
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
fees
or
expenses
in
order
to
limit
expenses,
excluding
interest
expense,
dividend
expense,
tax
expense,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses,
and
certain
other
fund
expenses,
which
constitute
extraordinary
expenses
not
incurred
in
the
ordinary
course
of
the
Fund’s
business
(“expense
limitation”).
The
expense
limitations
as
a
percentage
of
average
daily
net
assets
are
as
follows:
The
Manager
has
agreed
not
to
reduce
or
discontinue
the
contractual
expense
limitations
through
June
30,
2025,
unless
approved
by
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the Independent
Trustees,
or
by
a
vote
of
a
majority
of
the
outstanding
voting
securities
of the
Fund.
For
the
six
months
ended
January
31,
2024,
there
were
no
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
pursuant
to
this
agreement.
In
addition,
these
amounts
waived
and/or

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
period
ended
January
31,
2024,
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
Statement
of
Operations.

PURCHASES
AND
SALES 
For
the
six
months ended
January

2024,
purchases
and
sales
of
investments,
including
paydowns/payups
and excluding
short-term
investments,
were
as
follows:

INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required. 
The
Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
the
Fund’s
U.S.
federal
tax
returns
generally
remains
open
for
a
period
of
three
years
after
they
are
filed.
The
statutes
of
limitations
on
the
Fund’s
state
and
local
tax
returns
may
remain
open
for
an
additional
year
depending
upon
the
jurisdiction. 
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the Fund
as
of
January
31,
2024,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Fund’s
financial
statements.
As
of
July
31,
2023,
the
Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss
carryforwards
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains
of
$(523,382,211)
and
qualified
ordinary
late-year
losses
of
$(4,595,330).

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
(“Participating
Funds”), is
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
Bank
Funding
Rate
(“OBFR”)
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.80%
per
annum,
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
rate
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
in
effect
from
time
to
time
plus
0.80%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed
or
(c)
the
sum
of
(x)
Daily
Simple
SOFR
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.10%
and
(y)
0.80%
per
annum. The
agreement
expires
in
April
2024
unless
extended
or
renewed. These
fees
were
allocated
among
such
funds
based
upon
portions
of
the
aggregate
commitment
available
to
them
and
relative
net
assets
of
Participating
Funds.
During
the
six
months ended
January
31,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.
10.
 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.
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
or
industries. The
Fund
may
invest
in
illiquid
investments.
An
illiquid
investment
is
any
investment
that the
Fund
reasonably
expects
cannot
be
sold
or
disposed
of
in
current
market
conditions
in
seven
calendar
days
or
less
without
the
sale
or
disposition
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment. The
Fund
may
experience
difficulty
in
selling
illiquid
investments
in
a
timely
manner
at
the
price
that it
believes
the
investments
are
worth.
Prices
may
fluctuate
widely
over
short
or
extended
periods
in
response
to
company,
market
or
economic
news.
Markets
also
tend
to
move
in
cycles,
with
periods
of
rising
and
falling
prices.
This
volatility
may
cause
the
Fund’s
NAV
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. 
The
price the
Fund
could
receive
upon
the
sale
of
any
particular
portfolio
investment
may
differ
from the
Fund’s
valuation
of
the
investment,
particularly
for
securities
that
trade
in
thin
or
volatile
markets
or
that
are
valued
using
a
fair
valuation
technique
or
a
price
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service.
Changes
to
significant
unobservable
inputs
and
assumptions
(i.e.,
publicly
traded
company
multiples,
growth
rate,
time
to
exit)
due
to
the
lack
of
observable
inputs
may
significantly
impact
the
resulting
fair
value
and
therefore
the
Fund’s
results
of
operations.
As
a
result,
the
price
received
upon
the
sale
of
an
investment
may
be
less
than
the
value
ascribed
by the
Fund,
and the
Fund
could
realize
a
greater
than
expected
loss
or
lesser
than
expected
gain
upon
the
sale
of
the
investment. The
Fund’s
ability
to
value
its
investments
may
also
be
impacted
by
technological
issues
and/or
errors
by
pricing
services
or
other
third-party
service
providers. 
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
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.

Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
62
With
exchange-traded
options
purchased
and
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. 
Geographic/Asset
Class
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 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
high
yield
securities.
High
yield
securities
that
are
rated
below
investment-grade
(commonly
referred
to
as
“junk
bonds”)
or
are
unrated
may
be
deemed
speculative,
involve
greater
levels
of
risk
than
higher-rated
securities
of
similar
maturity
and
are
more
likely
to
default.
High
yield
securities
may
be
issued
by
less
creditworthy
issuers,
and
issuers
of
high
yield
securities
may
be
unable
to
meet
their
interest
or
principal
payment
obligations.
High
yield
securities
are
subject
to
extreme
price
fluctuations,
may
be
less
liquid
than
higher
rated
fixed-income
securities,
even
under
normal
economic
conditions,
and
frequently
have
redemption
features. 
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(s) may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
due
to
the period
of
historically
low
interest
rates
that
ended
in
March
2022. The
Federal
Reserve
has
raised
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
the
United
States.
A
decrease
in
imports
or
exports,
changes
in
trade
regulations,
inflation
and/or
an
economic
recession
in
the
United
States
may
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
securities
listed
on
U.S.
exchanges.
Proposed
and
adopted
policy
and
legislative
changes
in
the
United
States
may
also
have
a
significant
effect
on
U.S.
markets
generally,
as
well
as
on
the
value
of
certain
securities.
Governmental
agencies
project
that
the
United
States
will
continue
to
maintain
elevated
public
debt
levels
for
the
foreseeable
future
which
may
constrain
future
economic
growth.
Circumstances
could
arise
that
could
prevent
the
timely
payment
of
interest
or
principal
on
U.S.
government
debt,
such
as
reaching
the
legislative
“debt
ceiling.”
Such
non-payment
would
result
in
substantial
negative
consequences
for
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
global
financial
system.
If
U.S.
relations
with
certain
countries
deteriorate,
it
could
adversely
affect
issuers
that
rely
on
the
United
States
for
trade.
The
United
States
has
also
experienced
increased
internal
unrest
and
discord.
If
these
trends
were
to
continue,
they
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
issuers
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
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.
These
events
and
actions
have
adversely
affected,
and
may
in
the
future
adversely
affect,
the
value
and
exchange
rate
of
the
Euro
and
may
continue
to
significantly
affect
the
economies
of
every
country
in
Europe,
including
countries
that
do
not
use
the
Euro
and
non-European
Union
member
states. 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
have
been,
and
may
continue
to
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
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
financial
instruments
that
recently
transitioned
from,
or
continue
to
be
tied
to,
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”)
to
determine
payment
obligations,
financing
terms,
hedging
strategies
or
investment
value.
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority,
which
regulates
LIBOR,
has
ceased
publishing
all
LIBOR
settings,
but
some
USD
LIBOR
settings
will
continue
to
be
published
under
a
synthetic
methodology
until
September
30,
2024
for
certain
legacy
contracts.
SOFR
has
been
used
increasingly
on
a
voluntary
basis
in
new
instruments
and
transactions.
Under
U.S.
regulations
that
implement
a
statutory
fallback
mechanism
to
replace
LIBOR,
benchmark
rates
based
on
SOFR
have
replaced
LIBOR
in
certain
financial
contracts.
The
ultimate
effect
of
the
LIBOR
transition
process
on
the
Fund
is
uncertain.

Statement
Regarding
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
2024
BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
64
In
compliance
with
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”),
BlackRock
Funds
IV
(the
“Trust”)
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”)
for
BlackRock
Global
Long/Short
Credit
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
a
series
of
the
Trust,
which
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
of
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund
met
on
November
14-15,
2023
(the
“Meeting”)
to
review
the
Program.
The
Board
previously
appointed
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC,
the
investment
adviser
to
the
Fund,
as
the
program
administrator
for
the
Fund’s
Program.
BlackRock
also
previously
delegated
oversight
of
the
Program
to
the
40
Act
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Committee
(the
“Committee”).
At
the
Meeting,
the
Committee,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock,
provided
the
Board
with
a
report
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
the
management
of
the
Fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
and
any
material
changes
to
the
Program
(the
“Report”).
The
Report
covered
the
period
from
October
1,
2022
through
September
30,
2023
(the
“Program
Reporting
Period”).
The
Report
described
the
Program’s
liquidity
classification
methodology
for
categorizing
the
Fund’s
investments
(including
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
buckets.
It
also
referenced
the
methodology
used
by
BlackRock
to
establish
the
Fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
Committee
reviews
and
ratifies
the
HLIM
assigned
to
the
Fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
The
Report
also
discussed
notable
events
affecting
liquidity
over
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
including
the
imposition
of
capital
controls
in
certain
countries.
The
Report
noted
that
the
Program
complied
with
the
key
factors
for
consideration
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
for
assessing,
managing
and
periodically
reviewing
the
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
as
follows:
a)
The
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
whether
the
Fund’s
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund
structure
with
a
focus
on
funds
with
more
significant
and
consistent
holdings
of
less
liquid
and
illiquid
assets.
The
Committee
also
factored
a
fund’s
concentration
in
an
issuer
into
the
liquidity
classification
methodology
by
taking
issuer
position
sizes
into
account.
Where
a
fund
participated
in
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
(such
as
tender
option
bonds
or
reverse
repurchase
agreements),
such
borrowings
were
factored
into
the
Program’s
calculation
of
a
fund’s
liquidity
bucketing.
A
fund’s
derivative
exposure
was
also
considered
in
such
calculation.
b)
Short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
historical
redemption
activity
and
used
this
information
as
a
component
to
establish
the
Fund’s
reasonably
anticipated
trading
size
utilized
for
liquidity
classifications.
The
Fund
has
adopted
an
in-kind
redemption
policy
which
may
be
utilized
to
meet
larger
redemption
requests.
The
Committee
may
also
take
into
consideration
a
fund’s
shareholder
ownership
concentration
(which,
depending
on
product
type
and
distribution
channel,
may
or
may
not
be
available),
a
fund’s
distribution
channels,
and
the
degree
of
certainty
associated
with
a
fund’s
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections.
c)
Holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
borrowing
arrangements
.
The
Committee
considered
the
terms
of
the
credit
facility
committed
to
the
Fund,
the
financial
health
of
the
institution
providing
the
facility
and
the
fact
that
the
credit
facility
is
shared
among
multiple
funds
(including
that
a
portion
of
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
is
specifically
designated
for
BlackRock
Floating
Rate
Income
Portfolio,
a
series
of
BlackRock
Funds
V,
and
BlackRock
Floating
Rate
Loan
ETF,
a
series
of
BlackRock
ETF
Trust
II).
The
Committee
also
considered
other
types
of
borrowing
available
to
the
funds,
such
as
the
ability
to
use
reverse
repurchase
agreements
and
interfund
lending,
as
applicable.
There
were
no
material
changes
to
the
Program
during
the
Program
Reporting
Period
other
than
the
enhancement
of
certain
model
components
in
the
Program’s
classification
methodology.
The
Report
provided
to
the
Board
stated
that
the
Committee
concluded
that
based
on
the
operation
of
the
functions,
as
described
in
the
Report,
the
Program
is
operating
as
intended
and
is
effective
in
implementing
the
requirements
of
the
Liquidity
Rule.

Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
for
Open-End Mutual
Funds
and
ETFs
Effective
January
24,
2023,
the
SEC
adopted
rule
and
form
amendments
to
require
open-end mutual
funds
and
ETFs
to
transmit
concise
and
visually
engaging
streamlined
annual
and
semiannual
reports
to
shareholders
that
highlight
key
information.
Other
information,
including
financial
statements,
will
no
longer
appear
in
a
streamlined
shareholder
report
but
must
be
available
online,
delivered
free
of
charge
upon
request,
and
filed
on
a
semiannual
basis
on
Form
N-CSR.
The
rule
and
form
amendments
have
a
compliance
date
of
July
24,
2024.
At
this
time,
management
is
evaluating
the
impact
of
these
amendments
on
the
shareholder
reports
for
the
Fund.

to
shareholders
with
multiple
accounts
at
the
same
address.
This
practice
is
commonly
called
“householding”
and
is
intended
to
reduce
expenses
and
eliminate
duplicate
mailings
of
shareholder
documents.
Mailings
of
