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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
portion
of
distributions,
if
any,
that
exceeds
a
fund's
current
and
accumulated
earnings
and
profits,
as
measured
on
a
tax
basis,
constitute
a
non-taxable
return
of
capital.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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: 
Exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
and
closed-end
funds 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.
ETFs
and
closed-end
funds
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price. 
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
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 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
affiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
As
of
period
end,
the
following
table
is
a
summary
of
the
Fund's
securities
on
loan
by

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$109,484.
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
class
specific
 in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the
opening
and
maintenance
of
shareholder
accounts,
which
is
included
in
transfer

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on

(the
“collateral

is
invested
in
a

However,
BIM
has

if
such

is
determined
to
be
in
the

Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the

of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to

of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities

agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
82%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities

income
plus
the
collateral

day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold, the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
85%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses. 
The

of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is

For
the six
months
ended June

2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $40,979
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.

PURCHASES
AND
SALES 
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
purchases
and
sales
of
investments, excluding
short-term
securities, were $233,724,917
and
$208,276,167,
respectively.
7.
INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
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
June
30,
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
December
31,
2023, the Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss
carryforwards
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains of
$(6,564,925).

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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. 
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
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.
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.

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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the New
York
Stock
Exchange ("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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
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 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
17
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
over-the-counter
(“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.

Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock

LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
annual
rates
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
relevant
share
class
of the
Fund
as
follows:
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,

the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an

per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net

of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by

,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any

to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an

for
the
issuance,
transfer
and

Limitations,
Waivers
and
Reimbursements:
The
Manager
contractually
agreed
to

through
its
investment
in
affiliated
money
market
funds
(the
“affiliated
money
market
fund
waiver”)
through
June

by
a
majority
of
the
directors
who
are
not
“interested

1940
Act
(“Independent

or
by
a

of
Operations.
For
the
six

advisory
fee
with
respect
to
any
portion
of
the
Fund’s
assets
invested
in

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
Directors,
or
by
a
vote
of
a
majority
of
the
outstanding
voting
securities
of
the
Fund.
For
the six
months ended
June
30,
2024,
there
were
no fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
pursuant
to
this
agreement.
Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $2,287
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
from,
or
sell
securities
to,
an
affiliated
fund
provided
the
affiliation
is
due
solely
to
having
a
common
investment
adviser,
common
officers,
or
common
directors.

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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 with
respect
to
initial
and
variation

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

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’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
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.
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.

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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
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 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
17
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
over-the-counter.
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.

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is

For
the six
months
ended June

the
Fund
paid
BIM $1,054
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or

of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in

the

of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may

an

fund
provided
the

is
due
solely
to
having

is
the
Fund’s
policy

comply
with
the
requirements
of
the

as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment

is
required. 
The
Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No

money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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.

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 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
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.
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.

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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
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 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)

Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
over-the-counter.
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.

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$19,259.
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
class
specific
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $4,588
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or

compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
from,
or
sell

to,
an
affiliated
fund
provided
the
affiliation
is
due
solely
to
having
a

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,

of
the
Fund,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
(“Participating
Funds”), is
party
to
a
364-day,

with
a
group
of
lenders.
Under
this

and
other
limitations
as
specified
in
the
agreement.
The
credit
agreement
has
the
following
terms:
a

on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
interest
at
a

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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 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
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.
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.

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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
and
closed-end
funds 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.
ETFs
and
closed-end
funds
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price. 
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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.
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

SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.

As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$87,367.

Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities

of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is

in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For

the

for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.

PURCHASES
AND
SALES 
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
purchases
and
sales
of
investments, excluding
short-term
securities, were $64,410,533
and
$82,153,572,
respectively.
7.
INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
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
June
30,
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
June
30,
2024, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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.

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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. 
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
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.
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.

ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Variable
Series
Funds,
Inc. (the
“Company”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
Capital
Appreciation
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund
offers
multiple
classes
of
shares.
Class
I
and
Class
III
Shares
have
equal
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights,
except
that
only
shares
of
the
respective
classes
are
entitled
to
vote
on
matters
concerning
only
that
class.
In
addition,
Class
III
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
The
Board
of
Directors
of
the
Company
had
previously
approved
an
Agreement
and
Plan
of
Reorganization
between
the
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
and
the
Company,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock
Large
Cap
Focus
Growth
V.I.
Fund
(the
“Acquiring
Fund”),
pursuant
to
which
the
Fund
would
be
reorganized
into
the
Acquiring
Fund
(the
“Reorganization”).
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
each
of
the
Fund
and
the
Acquiring
Fund,
has
determined
not
to
proceed
with
the
Reorganization
at

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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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

in
active
markets/exchanges
for
identical

that
the
Fund
has
the
ability

Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,

(including
the

Committee’s

The

gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted

in

for
identical

(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable

(Level

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.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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. 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The

is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,

For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net

Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class

BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder

services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$91,803.
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net

of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service

For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer

of
the
directors
who
are
not

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $7
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or

of
the Company are directors and/or

The

the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,

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
June
30,
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

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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)

Rate
(“SOFR”)
(but,
in
any

not
less

0.00%)
on

is
made
plus
0.10%
and
(y)
0.80%
per

Prior
to

11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
These
fees
were
allocated
among

assets
of
Participating

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.
As
of
period
end,
the
Fund’s
investments
had
the
following
industry
classifications:
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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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.
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

(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level

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

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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
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
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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. 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,

interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the

Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as

For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of

Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.

PURCHASES
AND
SALES 
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
purchases
and
sales
of
investments, excluding
short-term
securities, were $72,724,332
and
$102,531,526,
respectively.
7.
INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
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
June
30,
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
June
30,
2024, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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.

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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. 
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
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.
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.

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

ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Variable
Series
Funds,
Inc. (the
“Company”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
consolidated
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
Global
Allocation
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund
offers
multiple
classes
of
shares.
Class
I,
Class
II
and
Class
III
Shares
have
equal
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights,
except
that
only
shares
of
the
respective
classes
are
entitled
to
vote
on
matters
concerning
only
that
class.
In
addition,
Class
II
and
Class
III
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
Basis
of
Consolidation:
The
accompanying
consolidated
financial
statements
of
the
Fund include
the
accounts
of
BlackRock
Cayman
Global
Allocation
V.I.
Fund
I,
Ltd.
(the
“Cayman
Subsidiary”),
which is
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
the
Fund and
primarily
invests
in
commodity-related
instruments.
The
Cayman
Subsidiary
enables
the
Fund
to
hold
these
commodity-related
instruments
and
satisfy
regulated
investment
company
tax
requirements.
The
Fund may
invest
up
to
25%
of its
total
assets
in
the
Cayman
Subsidiary.
The
net
assets
of
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
as
of
period
end
were
$28,593,283,
which
is 0.6%
of the
Fund's
consolidated
net
assets.
Intercompany
accounts
and
transactions,
if
any,
have
been
eliminated. The
Cayman
Subsidiary
is
subject
to
the
same
investment
policies
and
restrictions
that
apply
to the
Fund,
except
that
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
may
invest
without
limitation
in
commodity-related
instruments.
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
consolidated
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
consolidated
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
consolidated
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
Investment
Transactions
and
Income
Recognition:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
investment
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
dates
the
transactions
are
executed
(the
“trade
dates”).
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
from
the
effects
of
changes
in
market
prices
of
those
investments,
but
are
included
as
a
component
of
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
(loss)
from
investments.
The
Fund
reports
realized
currency
gains
(losses)
on
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
net
realized
gain
(loss)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
generally
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes.
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
Consolidated 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
June
30,
2024
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the Consolidated 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 Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
includes
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.

Notes

Consolidated
Financial
Statements
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Net
income
and
realized
gains
from
investments
held
by
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
tax
purposes. If
a
net
loss
is
realized
by
the
Cayman
Subsidiary
in
any
taxable
year,
the
loss
will
generally
not
be
available
to
offset
the
Fund’s
ordinary
income
and/or
capital
gains
for
that
year.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.  
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
Consolidated
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund
is
open
for
business
and,
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
as
of
the
report
date.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
a
fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Board
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Fixed-income investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
using
the
last
available
bid
price
or
current
market
quotations
provided
by
independent
dealers
or
third-party
pricing
services. 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.
Exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
and
closed-end
funds 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.
ETFs
and
closed-end
funds
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price. 
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
positions)
price.
If
no
bid
or
ask
price
is
available,
the
prior
day’s
price will
be
used,
unless
it
is
determined
that
the
prior
day’s
price
no
longer
reflects
the
fair
value
of
the
option.
Over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
options
and
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
are
valued
by
an
independent
pricing
service
using
a
mathematical
model,
which
incorporates
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
the
trades
and
prices
of
the
underlying
instruments.
Swap
agreements
are
valued
utilizing
quotes
received
daily
by
independent pricing
services
or
through

Generally,
trading

at
various
times
prior
to
the
close

to
value
certain
foreign

The
Systematic

at
fair

follows
the
close

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.
As
of
June
30,
2024,
certain
investments
of
the Fund were fair valued
using
NAV as
a
practical
expedient as
no
quoted
market
value
is
available
and
therefore
have
been
excluded
from
the
fair
value
hierarchy.

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.

Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
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. 
Inflation-Indexed
Bonds:
Inflation-indexed
bonds
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds)
are
fixed-income
securities
whose
principal
value
is
periodically
adjusted
according
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
If
the
index
measuring
inflation
rises
or
falls,
the
principal
value
of
inflation-indexed
bonds
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds)
will
be
adjusted
upward
or
downward,
and
consequently
the
interest
payable
on
these
securities
(calculated
with
respect
to
a
larger
or
smaller
principal
amount)
will
be
increased
or
reduced,
respectively.
Any
upward
or
downward
adjustment
in
the
principal
amount
of
an
inflation-indexed
bond
is
included
as
interest
income
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations,
even
though
investors
do
not
receive
their
principal
until
maturity.
Repayment
of
the
original
bond
principal
upon
maturity
(as
adjusted
for
inflation)
is
guaranteed
in
the
case
of
U.S.
Treasury
inflation-indexed
bonds.
For
bonds
that
do
not
provide
a
similar
guarantee,
the
adjusted
principal
value
of
the
bond
repaid
at
maturity
may
be
less
than
the
original
principal.
With
regard
to
municipal
inflation-indexed
bonds
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds,
the
inflation
adjustment
is
typically
reflected
in
the
semi-annual
coupon
payment.
As
a
result,
the
principal
value
of
municipal
inflation-indexed
bonds
and
such
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds
does
not
adjust
according
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
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
more
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
Consolidated
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.
As
of
period
end, the
Funds
had
the
following
unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests: 
TBA
Commitments:
TBA
commitments
are
forward
agreements
for
the
purchase
or
sale
of
securities,
including
mortgage-backed
securities
for
a
fixed
price,
with
payment
and
delivery
on
an
agreed
upon
future
settlement
date.
The
specific
securities
to
be
delivered
are
not
identified
at
the
trade
date.
However,
delivered
securities
must
meet
specified
terms,
including
issuer,
rate
and
mortgage
terms.
When
entering
into
TBA
commitments,
a
fund
may
take
possession
of
or
deliver
the
underlying
mortgage-backed
securities
but
can
extend
the
settlement
or
roll
the
transaction.
TBA
commitments
involve
a
risk
of
loss
if
the
value
of
the
security
to
be
purchased
or
sold
declines
or
increases,
respectively,
prior
to
settlement
date,
if
there
are
expenses
or
delays
in
connection
with
the
TBA
transactions,
or
if
the
counterparty
fails
to
complete
the
transaction.
In
order
to
better
define
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
a
fund
mitigate its
counterparty
risk,
TBA
commitments
may
be
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Securities
Forward
Transaction
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSFTA”).
An
MSFTA
typically
contains,
among
other
things,
collateral
posting
terms
and
netting
provisions
in
the
event
of
default
and/or
termination
event. 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
the
collateral
currently
pledged
by
a
fund
and
the
counterparty. Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
the
obligations
of
a
fund
and
cash
collateral
received
from
the
counterparty,
if
any,
is
reported
separately
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
TBA
commitments
or
cash
received
as
collateral
for
TBA
commitments,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
a
fund,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments. Typically,
a
fund
is
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
it
receives;
however,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
do
so.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
a
fund
are
not
fully
collateralized,
contractually
or
otherwise,
a
fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Mortgage
Dollar
Roll
Transactions
:
The
Fund
may
sell
TBA
mortgage-backed
securities
and
simultaneously
contract
to
repurchase
substantially
similar
(i.e.,
same
type,
coupon
and
maturity)
securities
on
a
specific
future
date
at
an
agreed
upon
price.
During
the
period
between
the
sale
and
repurchase,
a
fund
is
not
entitled
to
receive
interest
and
principal
payments
on
the
securities
sold.

Mortgage

involve
the
risk
that
the
market
value
of
the
securities
that
a
fund
is
required
to
purchase
may
decline
below
the
agreed
upon

price
of
those

Commitments:
Commitments
are
agreements
to
acquire
an
investment
at
a
future
date
(subject
to
conditions)
in
connection
with
a
potential
public
or
non-public
offering. 
Such
agreements
may
obligate
a
fund
to
make
future
cash
payments. As
of
June
30,
2024
,
the Fund
had
outstanding
commitments
of
$7,142,364.
These
commitments
are
not
included
in
the
net
assets
of
the Fund
as
of
June
30,
2024
.
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
from
a
broker/counterparty
and
deliver
the
security
to
the
purchaser. To
close
out
a
short
position,
a
fund
delivers
the
same
security
to
the
broker
and
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Securities
segregated
as
collateral
are
denoted
in
the
Consolidated
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
Consolidated
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
Consolidated
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.
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
Consolidated Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
Consolidated Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.

The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these

the

benefits
from
a

BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of

collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned

could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with

collateral
falls
below
the

or
if
the
value
of
an

falls
below
the
value
of
the
original

collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the

Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
OTC.
Futures
Contracts:
Futures
contracts
are
purchased
or
sold
to
gain
exposure
to,
or
manage
exposure
to,
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
and
changes
in
the
value
of
equity
securities
(equity
risk)
or
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk)
.
Futures
contracts
are
exchange-traded agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
specific
quantity
of
an
underlying
instrument
at
a
specified
price
and
on
a
specified
date.
Depending
on
the
terms
of
a
contract,
it
is
settled
either
through
physical
delivery
of
the
underlying
instrument
on
the
settlement
date
or
by
payment
of
a
cash
amount
on
the
settlement
date.
Upon
entering
into
a
futures
contract,
the
Fund
is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
a
contract’s
size
and
risk
profile.
The
initial
margin
deposit
must
then
be
maintained
at
an
established
level
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
an
amount
of
cash
equal
to
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
of
the
contract
(“variation
margin”).
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and,
if
any,
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
futures
contracts
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
contract
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
notional
amount
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
The
use
of
futures
contracts
involves
the
risk
of
an
imperfect
correlation
in
the
movements
in
the
price
of
futures
contracts
and
interest
rates,
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
or
underlying
assets.
Forward
Foreign
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
:
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
A
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
two
parties
to
buy
and
sell
a
currency
at
a
set
exchange
rate
on
a
specified
date.
These
contracts
help
to
manage
the
overall
exposure
to
the
currencies
in
which
some
of
the
investments
held
by
the
Fund
are
denominated
and
in
some
cases,
may
be
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
particular
market.
The
contracts
are
traded
OTC
and
not
on
an
organized
exchange.
The
contract
is
marked-to-market
daily
and
the
change
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
Non-deliverable
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
settled
with
the
counterparty
in
cash
without
the
delivery
of
foreign
currency.
The
use
of
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
involves
the
risk
that
the
value
of
a
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
changes
unfavorably
due
to
movements
in
the
value
of
the
referenced
foreign
currencies,
and
such
value
may
exceed
the
amount(s)
reflected
in
the
Consolidated Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Cash
amounts
pledged
for
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
considered
restricted
and
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
OTC
derivatives
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. 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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
an
instrument
is
purchased
or
sold
through
the
exercise
of
an
option,
the
premium
is
offset
against
the
cost
or
proceeds
of
the
underlying
instrument.
When
an
option
expires,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
to
the
extent
of
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
an
option
is
closed
or
sold,
a
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
to
the
extent
the
cost
of
the
closing
transaction
exceeds
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
the
Fund
writes
a
call
option,
such
option
is
typically
“covered,”
meaning
that
it
holds
the
underlying
instrument
subject
to
being
called
by
the
option
counterparty.
When
the
Fund
writes
a
put
option,
cash
is
segregated in
an
amount
sufficient
to
cover
the
obligation.
These
amounts,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
options
written
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Swaptions
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
primarily
to
preserve
a
return
or
spread
on
a
particular
investment
or
portion
of
the
Fund’s
holdings,
as
a
duration
management
technique
or
to
protect
against
an
increase
in
the
price
of
securities
it
anticipates
purchasing
at
a
later
date.
The
purchaser
and
writer
of
a
swaption
is
buying
or
granting
the
right
to
enter
into
a
previously
agreed
upon
interest
rate
or
credit
default
swap
agreement
(interest
rate
risk
and/or
credit
risk)
at
any
time
before
the
expiration
of
the
option. 
Interest
rate
caps
and
floors
Interest
rate
caps
and
floors
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk
and/or
other
risk).
Caps
are
agreements
whereby
one
party
agrees
to
make
payments
to
the
other,
in
return
for
a
premium,
to
the
extent
that
interest
rate
indexes
exceed
a
specified
rate,
or
“cap.”
Floors
are
agreements
whereby
one
party
agrees
to
make
payments
to
the
other,
in
return
for
a
premium,
to
the
extent
that
interest
rate indexes
fall
below
a
specified
rate,
or
“floor.”
The
maximum
potential
amount
of
future
payments
that
the
Fund
would
be
required
to
make
under
an
interest
rate
cap
would
be
the
notional
amount
times
the
percentage
increase
in
interest
rates
determined
by
the
difference
between
the
interest
rate
index
current
value
and
the
value
at
the
time
the
cap
was
entered
into.
Foreign
currency
options
The
Fund
may purchase
and
write
foreign
currency
options,
foreign
currency
futures
and
options
on
foreign
currency
futures
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
Foreign
currency
options
give
the
purchaser
the
right
to
buy
from
or
sell
to
the
writer
a
foreign
currency
at
any
time
before
the
expiration
of
the
option.
Barrier
options
The
Fund
may
purchase
and
write
a
variety
of
options
with
non-standard
payout
structures
or
other
features
(“barrier
options”)
that
are
generally
traded
OTC.
The
Fund
may
invest
in
various
types
of
barrier
options,
including
down-and-out
options,
down-and-in
options,
double
no-touch
options,
one-touch
options,
instant
one-touch
options,
up-and-out
options
and
up-and-in
options.
Down-and-out
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
falls
below
a
specific
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Down-and-in
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
unless
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
falls
below
a
specific
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Double
no-touch
options
provide
the
purchaser
an
agreed-upon
payout
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
does
not
reach
or
surpass
predetermined
barrier
price
levels
prior
to
the
option’s
expiration
date.
One-touch
options
and
instant
one-touch
options
provide
the
purchaser
an
agreed-upon
payout
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
reaches
or
surpasses
predetermined
barrier
price
levels
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Up-
and-out
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
increases
beyond
a
predetermined
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Up-and-in
options
can
only
be
exercised
when
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
increases
beyond
a
predetermined
barrier
price
level.
In
purchasing
and
writing
options,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
value
of
the
underlying
instrument
or
the
risk
that
it
may
not
be
able
to
enter
into
a
closing
transaction
due
to
an
illiquid
market.
Exercise
of
a
written
option
could
result
in
the
Fund
purchasing
or
selling
a
security
when
it
otherwise
would
not,
or
at
a
price
different
from
the
current
market
value.
Swaps:
Swap
contracts
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
issuers,
markets
and
securities.
Such
contracts
are
agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
make
periodic
net
payments
on
a
specified
notional
amount
or
a
net
payment
upon
termination.
Swap
agreements
are
privately
negotiated
in
the
OTC
market
and
may
be
entered
into
as
a
bilateral
contract
(“OTC
swaps”)
or
centrally
cleared
(“centrally
cleared
swaps”).
For
OTC
swaps,
any
upfront
premiums
paid
and
any
upfront
fees
received
are
shown
as
swap
premiums
paid
and
swap
premiums
received,
respectively,
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
OTC
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
proceeds
from
(or
cost
of)
the
closing
transaction
and
the
Fund’s
basis
in
the
contract,
if
any.
Generally,
the
basis
of
the
contract
is
the
premium
received
or
paid.
In
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
immediately
following
execution
of
the
swap
contract,
the
swap
contract
is
novated
to
a
central
counterparty
(the
“CCP”)
and
the
CCP
becomes
the Fund’s
counterparty
on
the
swap.
The
Fund
is
required
to
interface
with
the
CCP
through
the
broker.
Upon
entering
into
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
the
Fund
is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
the
size
and
risk
profile
of
the
particular
swap. Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
variation
margin.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
from
(paid
to)
the
counterparty
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
and
recorded
as
realized
gains
(losses)
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations,
including
those
at
termination.

As
a

if
an

occurs,
the
Fund
will
either
(i)
receive
from
the

(writer),
if

occurs,
the
Fund
will
either
pay

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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.
Cash
settlement
in
and
out
of
the
swap
may
occur
at
a
reset
date
or
any
other
date,
at
the
discretion
of
the
Fund
and
the
counterparty,
over
the
life
of
the
agreement.
Certain
swaps
have
no
stated
expiration
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
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.
Forward
swaps
The
Fund
may enter
into
forward
interest
rate
swaps
and
forward
total
return
swaps.
In
a
forward
swap,
the
Fund
and
the
counterparty
agree
to
make
periodic
net
payments
beginning
on
a
specified
date
or
a
net
payment
at
termination.
Inflation
swaps
Inflation
swaps
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
inflation
(inflation
risk).
In
an
inflation
swap,
one
party
makes
fixed
interest
payments
on
a
notional
principal
amount
in
exchange
for
another
party’s
variable
payments
based
on
an
inflation
index,
such
as
the
Consumer
Price
Index.
Swap
transactions
involve,
to
varying
degrees,
elements
of
interest
rate,
credit
and
market
risks
in
excess
of
the
amounts
recognized
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Such
risks
involve
the
possibility
that
there
will
be
no
liquid
market
for
these
agreements,
that
the
counterparty
to
the
agreements
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
perform
or
disagree
as
to
the
meaning
of
the
contractual
terms
in
the
agreements,
and
that
there
may
be
unfavorable
changes
in
interest
rates
and/or
market
values
associated
with
these
transactions.
Master
Netting
Arrangements:
In
order
to
define
its
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
it mitigate its
counterparty
risk, the
Fund
may
enter
into
an
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
Master
Agreement
(“ISDA
Master
Agreement”)
or
similar
agreement
with
its
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
and
cash
received
as
collateral,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Consolidated
Schedule
of
Investments.
Generally,
the
amount
of
collateral
due
from
or
to
a
counterparty
is
subject
to
a
certain
minimum
transfer
amount
threshold
before
a
transfer
is
required,
which
is
determined
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
Fund.
Any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to/pledged
by
the
Fund
on
the
next
business
day.
Typically,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
cash
and
non-cash
collateral
it
receives.
The
Fund
generally
agrees
not
to
use
non-cash
collateral
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
73
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
that
it
receives
but
may,
absent
default
or
certain
other
circumstances
defined
in
the
underlying
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
be
permitted
to
use
cash
collateral
received.
In
such
cases,
interest
may
be
paid
pursuant
to
the
collateral
arrangement
with
the
counterparty.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from the
counterparties
are
not
fully
collateralized, the
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Likewise,
to
the
extent
the
Fund
has
delivered
collateral
to
a
counterparty
and
stands
ready
to
perform
under
the
terms
of
its
agreement
with
such
counterparty, the
Fund bears the
risk
of
loss
from
a
counterparty
in
the
amount
of
the
value
of
the
collateral
in
the
event
the
counterparty
fails
to
return
such
collateral.
Based
on
the
terms
of
agreements,
collateral
may
not
be
required
for
all
derivative
contracts.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
Fund
does
not
offset
derivative
assets
and
derivative
liabilities
that
are
subject
to
netting
arrangements,
if
any,
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
The
Manager
provides
investment
management
and
other
services
to
the
Cayman
Subsidiary.
The
Manager
does
not
receive
separate
compensation
from
the Cayman
Subsidiary
for
providing
investment
management
or
administrative
services.
However,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
based
on
the
Fund's
net
assets,
which
includes
the
assets
of
the
Cayman
Subsidiary.
The
Manager
entered
into
separate
sub-advisory
agreements
with
each
of
BlackRock
International
Limited
(“BIL”),
effective
March
11,
2024
and
BlackRock
(Singapore)
Limited
("BSL")
(collectively,
the
“Sub-Advisers”),
each
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
The
Manager
pays
BIL
and
BSL
for
services
they
provide
for
that
portion
of
the
Fund
for
which
BIL
and
BSL,
as
applicable,
acts
as
sub-adviser,
a
monthly
fee
that
is
equal
to
a
percentage
of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
to
the
Manager.
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
annual
rates
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
relevant
share
class
of the
Fund
as
follows:
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
following
table
shows
the
class
specific
distribution

Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer

ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the

there
were
no
investment
advisory
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
pursuant
to
this
agreement.
Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
82%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold, the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
85%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses. 
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $43,284
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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).

were
$435,964,669
and
$435,708,483,
respectively.

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
June
30,
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
consolidated
financial
statements.
As
of
June
30,
2024, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed. Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.

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.
Municipal
securities
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
litigation,
legislation
or
other
political
events,
local
business
or
economic
conditions,
credit
rating
downgrades,
or
the
bankruptcy
of
the
issuer
could
have
a
significant
effect
on
an
issuer’s
ability
to
make
payments
of
principal
and/or
interest
or
otherwise
affect
the
value
of
such
securities.
Municipal
securities
can
be
significantly
affected
by
political
or
economic
changes,
including
changes
made
in
the
law
after
issuance
of
the
securities,
as
well
as
uncertainties
in
the
municipal
market
related
to,
taxation,
legislative
changes
or
the
rights
of
municipal
security
holders,
including
in
connection
with
an
issuer
insolvency.
Municipal
securities
backed
by
current
or
anticipated
revenues
from
a
specific
project
or
specific
assets
can
be
negatively
affected
by
the
discontinuance
of
the
tax
benefits
supporting
the
project
or
assets
or
the
inability
to
collect
revenues
for
the
project
or
from
the
assets.
Municipal
securities
may
be
less
liquid
than
taxable
bonds,
and
there
may
be
less
publicly
available
information
on
the
financial
condition
of
municipal
security
issuers
than
for
issuers
of
other
securities.
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
Consolidated
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund. 
A
derivative
contract
may
suffer
a
mark-to-market
loss
if
the
value
of
the
contract
decreases
due
to
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
market
rates
or
values
of
the
underlying
instrument.
Losses
can
also
occur
if
the
counterparty
does
not
perform
under
the
contract.
For
OTC
options
purchased,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
in
the
amount
of
the
premiums
paid
plus
the
positive
change
in
market
values
net
of
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund
should
the
counterparty
fail
to
perform
under
the
contracts.
Options
written
by
the
Fund
do
not
typically
give
rise
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
as
options
written
generally
obligate
the
Fund,
and
not
the
counterparty,
to
perform.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk
with
respect
to
options
written
to
the
extent
the
Fund
deposits
collateral
with
its
counterparty
to
a
written
option. 
With
exchange-traded
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 Consolidated
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
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
during
a
period
of
historically
low
interest
rates. The
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
77
Notes
to
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
Federal
Reserve
has
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
as
part
of
its
efforts
to
address
inflation.
Changing
interest
rates
may
have
unpredictable
effects
on
markets,
may
result
in
heightened
market
volatility,
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.
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.

the
Investment
Company

of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
Government
Money
Market
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund
operates
as
a
“government
money
market
fund”
under
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
The
Fund
is
not
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis. 
Distributions:
Distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
daily
and
paid
monthly.
Distributions
of
capital
gains
are
distributed
at
least
annually
and
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
are
charged
to
the
Fund.
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:
 U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
the
Fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
under
the
amortized
cost
method
which
approximates
current
market
value
in
accordance
with
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
Under
this
method,
investments
are
valued
at
cost
when
purchased
and,
thereafter,
a
constant
proportionate
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
are
recorded
until
the
maturity
of
the
security.
The
Fund
seeks
to
maintain
its
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share
at
$1.00,
although
there
is
no
assurance
that
it
will
be
able
to
do
so
on
a
continuing
basis.
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial reporting purposes
as
follows: 
Level
1
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,
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. The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Repurchase
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
are
commitments
to
purchase
a
security
from
a
counterparty
who
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
security
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
On
a
daily
basis,
the
counterparty
is
required
to
maintain
collateral
subject
to
the
agreement
and
in
value
no
less
than
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
amount.
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
traded
bilaterally,
in
a
tri-party
arrangement
or
may
be
centrally
cleared
through
a
sponsoring
agent.
Subject
to
the
custodial
undertaking
associated
with
a
tri-party
repurchase
arrangement
and
for
centrally
cleared
repurchase
agreements,
a
third-party
custodian
maintains
accounts
to
Notes

BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
12
hold
collateral
for a
fund
and
its
counterparties.
Typically,
a
fund
and
counterparty
are
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
absent
a
default
by
the
counterparty
or the
fund,
respectively. 
In
the
event
the
counterparty
defaults
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines, a
fund
could
experience
losses,
delays
and
costs
in
liquidating
the
collateral.
Repurchase
agreements
are
entered
into
by a
fund
under
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(each,
an
“MRA”).
The
MRA
permits the
fund,
under
certain
circumstances
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
by
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty.
As
a
result,
one
single
net
payment
is
created.
Bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
the
MRA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Based
on
the
terms
of
the
MRA, the
fund
receives
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price
at
maturity.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
the
fund
would
recognize
a
liability
with
respect
to
such
excess
collateral.
The
liability
reflects
the
fund’s
obligation
under
bankruptcy
law
to
return
the
excess
to
the
counterparty.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
class
specific
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the
opening
and
maintenance
of
shareholder
accounts,
which
is
included
in
transfer
agent
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months ended
June
30,
2024,
the
following
table
shows
the
class
specific
transfer
agent
fees
borne
directly
by
each
share
class
of
the
Fund:
Expense
Limitations,
Waivers
and
Reimbursements:
The
Manager has
voluntarily
agreed
to
waive
a
portion
of
its investment
advisory
fees and/or
reimburse
operating
expenses
to
enable
the
Fund
to
maintain
minimum
levels
of
daily
net
investment
income
if
applicable.
These
amounts,
if
any,
are
reported
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
as
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager.
The
Manager
may
discontinue
the
waiver
and/or
reimbursement
at
any
time.
For
the
six
months
 ended
June
30,
2024
,
there
were
no
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
under
this
agreement.
The
Manager
contractually
agreed
to

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

incurred
in
the
ordinary
course
of
the
Fund’s
business
(“expense
limitation”),
to
0.30%
of

net
assets.
The
Manager
has
agreed
not

or
discontinue
the
contractual
expense
limitation
through
June
30,
2025,
unless
approved

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
June
30,
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.
7.
 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. 
On
July
12,
2023,
the
SEC
approved
changes
to
money
market
fund
regulations.
These
changes,
among
other
things:
(i)
eliminate
provisions
that
permit
a
money
market
fund
to
suspend
redemptions
except
in
liquidations,
(ii)
require
institutional
prime
and
institutional
tax-exempt
money
market
funds
to
impose
mandatory
liquidity
fees
under
certain
conditions,
(iii)
permit
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
for
a
non-government
money
market
fund
and
(iv)
increase
minimum
daily
and
weekly
liquidity
for
all
money
market
funds.
These
changes
will
be
implemented
over
the
next
12
months
depending
on
the
change
and
may
affect
the
Fund’s
operations
and
return
potential.
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.
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. 
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 fixed-income securities and/or uses
derivatives tied
to
the
fixed-income
markets.
Changes
in
market
interest
rates
or
economic
conditions
may affect
the
value
and/or
liquidity
of
such investments.
Interest
rate
risk
is
the
risk
that
prices
of
bonds
and
other
fixed-income
securities
will
decrease
as
interest
rates
rise
and
increase
as
interest
rates
fall.
The
Fund
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
during
a
period
of
historically
low
interest
rates. The
Federal
Reserve
has
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
as
part
of
its
efforts
to
address
inflation.
Changing
interest
rates
may
have
unpredictable
effects
on
markets,
may
result
in
heightened
market
volatility,
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,

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.
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.

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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.

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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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.

Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
over-the-counter
(“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.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
0.08%
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$2,179.
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
class
specific
 in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the
opening
and
maintenance
of
shareholder
accounts,
which
is
included
in
transfer
agent
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months ended
June
30,
2024,
the
following
table
shows
the
class
specific
transfer
agent
fees
borne
directly
by
each
share
class
of
the
Fund:
Expense
Limitations,
Waivers,
Reimbursements
and
Recoupments:
The
Manager
contractually
agreed
to
waive
its
investment
advisory
fees
by
the
amount
of
investment
advisory
fees
the
Fund
pays
to
the
Manager
indirectly
through
its
investment
in
affiliated
money
market
funds
(the
“affiliated
money
market
fund
waiver”)
through
June
30,
2025.
The
contractual
agreement
may
be
terminated
upon
90
days’
notice
by
a
majority
of
the
directors
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Company,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act
(“Independent
Directors”),
or
by
a
vote
of
a
majority
of
the
outstanding
voting
securities
of
the
Fund.
The
amount
of
waivers
and/or
reimbursements
of
fees
and
expenses
made
pursuant
to
the
expense
limitation
described
below
will
be
reduced
by
the
amount
of
the
affiliated
money
market
fund
waiver.
This
amount
is
included
in
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months ended
June
30,
2024,

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
82%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold, the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
85%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses. 
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $3,129
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.

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
June
30,
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
December
31,
2023, the Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss

available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains of
$(7,884,054). 
As

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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

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

plus
0.80%
per

on
the
date
the

plus
0.10%
and
(y)

or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
These

were
allocated
among
such

assets
of
Participating

 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. 
The
Manager
uses
an
indexing
approach
to
try
to
achieve
the
Fund’s
investment
objective.
The
Fund
is
not
actively
managed,
and
the
Manager
generally
does
not
attempt
to
take
defensive
positions
under
any
market
conditions,
including
declining
markets.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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

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. 
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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 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
substantial
amount
of
its
assets
in
issuers
located
in
a
single
country
or
a
limited
number
of
countries.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
in
those
countries
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
their
investment
performance
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund's
portfolio.
Unanticipated
or
sudden
political
or
social
developments
may
cause
uncertainty
in
the
markets
and
as
a
result
adversely
affect
the
Fund’s
investments.
Foreign
issuers
may
not
be
subject
to
the
same
uniform
accounting,
auditing
and
financial
reporting
standards
and
practices
as
used
in
the
United
States.
Foreign
securities
markets
may
also
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
U.S.
securities
and
may
be
less
subject
to
governmental
supervision
not
typically
associated
with
investing
in
U.S.
securities.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
countries
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
Asia
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Asian
issuers
or
countries.
The
Asian
financial
markets
have
recently
experienced
volatility
and
adverse
trends
due
to
concerns
in
several
Asian
countries
regarding
monetary
policy,
government
intervention
in
the
markets,
rising
government
debt
levels
or
economic
downturns.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Asia
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Fund's
investments. 
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.

ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Variable
Series
Funds,
Inc. (the
“Company”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
International
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis. 
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide

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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
11
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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.
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
privately
held
companies
or
funds
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When

Notes

Statements
12
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets:
The
Manager
entered
into
a
sub-advisory
agreement
with
BlackRock
International
Limited
(“BIL”)
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
The
Manager
pays
BIL
for
services
it
provides
for
that
portion
of
the
Fund
for
which
BIL
acts
as
sub-adviser,
a
monthly
fee
that
is
equal
to
a
percentage
of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
to
the
Manager.
Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
 in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the
opening
and
maintenance
of
shareholder
accounts,
which
is
included
in

its
investment
in
affiliated
money
market
funds
(the
“affiliated

of
the
Fund.
The
amount
of
waivers
and/or

and
affiliated
exchange-traded
funds
that
have

The
contractual
agreement
may
be
terminated
upon
90
days’

by
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Directors,
or
by

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
82%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold, the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
85%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses. 
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $64
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or

the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is

Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight

Rate
(“SOFR”)
(but,
in
any

is
made
plus
0.10%
and
(y)
0.80%
per
annum. The
agreement
expires
in
April
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
These
fees
were
allocated

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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. 
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
substantial
amount
of
its
assets
in
issuers
located
in
a
single
country
or
a
limited
number
of
countries.
When a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
in
those
countries
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
their
investment
performance
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund's
portfolio.
Unanticipated
or
sudden
political
or
social
developments
may
cause
uncertainty
in
the
markets
and
as
a
result
adversely
affect
the
Fund’s
investments.
Foreign
issuers
may

Foreign
securities
markets
may
also
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
U.S.
securities
and
may
be
less

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

especially
if
they

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.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
Asia
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Asian
issuers
or
countries.
The
Asian
financial
markets
have
recently
experienced
volatility
and
adverse
trends
due
to
concerns
in
several
Asian
countries
regarding
monetary
policy,
government
intervention
in
the
markets,
rising
government
debt
levels
or
economic
downturns.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Asia
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Fund's
investments. 
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.

ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Variable
Series
Funds,
Inc. (the
“Company”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
Large
Cap
Focus
Growth
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund
offers
multiple
classes
of
shares.
Class
I
and
Class
III
Shares
have
equal
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights,
except
that
only
shares
of
the
respective
classes
are
entitled
to
vote
on
matters
concerning
only
that
class.
In
addition,
Class
III
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
The
Board
of
Directors
of
the
Company
had
previously
approved
an
Agreement
and
Plan
of
Reorganization
between
the
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
and
the
Company,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock
Capital
Appreciation
V.I.
Fund
(the
“Target
Fund”),
pursuant
to
which
the
Target
Fund
would
be
reorganized
into
the
Fund
(the
“Reorganization”).
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
each
of
the
Fund
and
the
Target
Fund,
has
determined
not
to
proceed
with
the
Reorganization
at
this
time.

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.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Distributions:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
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:

are
not
available
(including
the
Valuation
Committee’s
assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair

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.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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. 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

,
the

did
not
pay
any

the
Fund
pays
the
transfer

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as
securities
lending
income
affiliated
net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $1,273
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statement
of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
from,
or
sell
securities
to,
an
affiliated
fund
provided
the
affiliation
is
due
solely
to
having
a
common
investment
adviser,
common
officers,
or
common
directors.
For

any
net
realized

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
June
30,
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.

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.
As
of
period
end,
the
Fund’s
investments
had
the
following
industry
classifications:
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.

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.

ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Variable
Series
Funds,
Inc. (the
“Company”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company. The
Company
is
organized
as
a
Maryland
corporation
that
is
comprised
of
15 separate
funds. The
funds
offer shares
to
insurance
companies
for
their
separate
accounts
to
fund
benefits
under
certain
variable
annuity
and
variable
life
insurance
contracts. The
financial
statements
presented
are
for
BlackRock
Managed
Volatility
V.I.
Fund (the
“Fund”). The
Fund
is
classified
as
diversified.
The
Fund
offers
multiple
classes
of
shares.
Class
I
and
Class
III
Shares
have
equal
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights,
except
that
only
shares
of
the
respective
classes
are
entitled
to
vote
on
matters
concerning
only
that
class.
In
addition,
Class
III
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
The
Fund,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Manager”) or
its
affiliates,
is
included
in
a
complex
of
funds
referred
to
as
the BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
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.  
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.

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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Fixed-income investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
using
the
last
available
bid
price
or
current
market
quotations
provided
by
independent
dealers
or
third-party
pricing
services.  Pricing
services
generally
value
fixed-income
securities
assuming
orderly
transactions
of
an
institutional
round
lot
size,
but
a
fund
may
hold
or
transact
in
such
securities
in
smaller,
odd
lot
sizes.
Odd
lots
may
trade
at
lower
prices
than
institutional
round
lots.
The
pricing
services
may
use
matrix
pricing
or
valuation
models
that
utilize
certain
inputs
and
assumptions
to
derive
values,
including
transaction
data
(e.g.,
recent
representative
bids
and
offers),
market
data, credit
quality
information,
perceived
market
movements,
news,
and
other
relevant
information.
Certain
fixed-income
securities,
including
asset-
backed
and
mortgage
related
securities
may
be
valued
based
on
valuation
models
that
consider
the
estimated
cash
flows
of
each
tranche
of
the
entity,
establish
a
benchmark
yield
and
develop
an
estimated
tranche
specific
spread
to
the
benchmark
yield
based
on
the
unique
attributes
of
the
tranche.
The
amortized
cost
method
of
valuation
may
be
used
with
respect
to
debt
obligations
with
sixty
days
or
less
remaining
to
maturity
unless
the
Manager
determines
such
method
does
not
represent
fair
value.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day’s
published net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
Futures
contracts
are valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
or
trade price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded.
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
ask
prices
and
are
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE
based
on
that
day’s
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate
for
the
underlying
currencies.
Swap
agreements
are
valued
utilizing
quotes
received
daily
by
independent pricing
services
or
through
brokers,
which
are
derived
using
daily
swap
curves
and
models
that
incorporate
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
discounted
cash
flows,
trades
and
values
of
the
underlying
reference
instruments. 
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE.
Each
business
day,
the
Fund
uses
current
market
factors
supplied
by
independent
pricing
services
to
value
certain
foreign
instruments
(“Systematic
Fair
Value
Price”).
The
Systematic
Fair
Value
Price
is
designed
to
value
such
foreign
securities
at
fair
value
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE,
which
follows
the
close
of
the
local
markets.
If
events
(e.g.,
market
volatility,
company
announcement or
a
natural
disaster)
occur
that
are
expected
to
materially
affect
the
value
of
such
investment,
or
in
the
event
that application
of
these
methods
of
valuation
results
in
a
price
for
an
investment
that
is
deemed
not
to
be
representative
of
the
market
value
of
such
investment,
or
if
a
price
is
not
available,
the
investment
will
be
valued
by
the
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.

Notes

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.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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
more
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. 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at

for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
Z
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.

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
over-the-counter
(“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.
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
swaps
on
single-name
issuers
(corporate
or
sovereign),
a
combination
or
basket
of
single-name
issuers
or
traded
indexes.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
the
protection
buyer
pays
fixed
periodic
payments
to
the
seller
in
consideration
for
a
promise
from
the
protection
seller
to
make
a
specific
payment
should
a
negative
credit
event
take
place
with
respect
to
the
referenced
entity
(e.g.,
bankruptcy,
failure
to
pay,
obligation
acceleration,
repudiation,
moratorium
or
restructuring).
As
a
buyer,
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Fund
will
either
(i)
receive
from
the
seller
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
deliver
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index,
or
(ii)
receive
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
As
a
seller
(writer),
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Fund
will
either
pay
the
buyer
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
take
delivery
of
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index
or
pay
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
Total
return
swaps
Total
return
swaps
are
entered
into
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security
or
market
without
owning
such
security
or
investing
directly
in
such
market
or
to
exchange
the
risk/return
of
one
security
or market
(e.g.,
fixed-income)
with
another
security
or
market
(e.g.,
equity
or
commodity
prices)
(equity
risk,
commodity
price
risk
and/or
interest
rate
risk).
Total
return
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
there
is
an
exchange
of
cash
flows
whereby
one
party
commits
to
make
payments
based
on
the
total
return
(distributions
plus
capital
gains/losses)
of
an
underlying
instrument,
or
basket
of
underlying
instruments,
in
exchange
for
fixed
or
floating
rate
interest
payments.
If
the
total
return
of
the
instrument(s)
or
index
underlying
the
transaction
exceeds
or
falls
short
of
the
offsetting
fixed
or
floating
interest
rate
obligation,
the
Fund
receives
payment
from
or
makes
a
payment
to
the
counterparty.
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.
Forward
swaps
The
Fund
may enter
into
forward
interest
rate
swaps
and
forward
total
return
swaps.
In
a
forward
swap,
the
Fund
and
the
counterparty
agree
to
make
periodic
net
payments
beginning
on
a
specified
date
or
a
net
payment
at
termination.

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
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an

For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly

rate
equal
to
the
following
percentages
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net

Asset
Management
North

of
the
Fund
for
which
BIL,
BSL
and
BAMNA,
as

acts
as
sub-adviser,
a
monthly

of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
to
the
Manager.
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf

accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under

pays
BRIL
ongoing

distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For

months
ended

the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with

shareholder
services

underlying
investor

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
The
share
of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is
shown
as

income

net
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $3,118
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund

In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the

from
the
SEC,

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
June
30,
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
December
31,
2023, the Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss
carryforwards
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains of
$(117,461,594) and
qualified
late-
year ordinary
losses
of
$(6,800,834).
As
of
June
30,
2024, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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. 
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
redemption
gates
or
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
there
is
less
counterparty
credit
risk
to
the
Fund
since
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse,
as
counterparty
to
such
instruments,
guarantees
against
a
possible
default.
The
clearinghouse
stands
between
the
buyer
and
the
seller
of
the
contract;
therefore,
credit
risk
is
limited
to
failure
of
the
clearinghouse.
While
offset
rights
may
exist
under
applicable
law, the
Fund
does
not
have
a
contractual
right
of
offset
against
a
clearing
broker
or
clearinghouse
in
the
event
of
a
default
(including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency).
Additionally,
credit
risk
exists
in exchange-traded
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps with
respect
to
initial
and
variation
margin
that
is
held
in
a
clearing
broker’s
customer
accounts.
While
clearing
brokers
are
required
to
segregate
customer
margin
from
their
own
assets,
in
the
event
that
a
clearing
broker
becomes
insolvent
or
goes
into
bankruptcy
and
at
that
time
there
is
a
shortfall
in
the
aggregate
amount
of
margin
held
by
the
clearing
broker
for
all
its
clients,
typically
the
shortfall
would
be
allocated
on
a
pro
rata
basis
across
all
the
clearing
broker’s
customers,
potentially
resulting
in
losses
to
the
Fund. 
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
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.
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.

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.

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,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
The
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
The
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
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
June
30,
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the New
York
Stock
Exchange ("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.
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

SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
21
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received. Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
engages
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Fund
and/or
to
manage
its
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange or
over-the-counter
(“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.

Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,

of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with

Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
annual
rates
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
relevant
share
class
of the
Fund
as
follows:
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
following

these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive

per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service

not
an

and

bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
redemption
fee,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
reinvested
may
impose
a
discretionary
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed,
if
such
fee,
is
determined
to
be
in
the
best
interests
of
such
money
market
fund.
Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.

For
the six
months
ended June

2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $17,014
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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 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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and

in
the
Statement
of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
from,
or

securities
to,
an
affiliated
fund
provided
the
affiliation
is
due
solely
to
having

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
June
30,
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.

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

 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. 
The
Manager
uses
an
indexing
approach
to
try
to
achieve
the
Fund’s
investment
objective.
The
Fund
is
not
actively
managed,
and
the
Manager
generally
does
not
attempt
to
take
defensive
positions
under
any
market
conditions,
including
declining
markets.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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. 
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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 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

The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
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.
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

Semi-Annual

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.

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
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
Foreign
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
June
30,
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.  
Bank
Overdraft:
The
Fund
had
outstanding
cash
disbursements
exceeding
deposited
cash
amounts
at
the
custodian
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
repay
the
custodian
for
any
overdraft,
including
any
related
costs
or
expenses,
where
applicable.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
are
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
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
paid
by
the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.  
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
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
of
Directors
of
the
Company
(the
“Board”)
has
approved
the
designation
of
the
Fund’s
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
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
(continued)
2024
BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
32
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
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
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.
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the New
York
Stock
Exchange ("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).

33
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
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.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
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
more
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.
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
a
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
Government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
value
of
the
loaned
securities
for
securities
traded
on
U.S.
exchanges
and
a
value
of
at
least
105%
for
all
other
securities.
The
collateral
is
maintained
thereafter
at
a
value
equal
to
at
least
100%
of
the
current
market
value
of
the
securities
on
loan.
The
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral
returned
by the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent, BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s
 Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
related
collateral,
if
any,
are
shown
separately
in
the
 Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned,
respectively.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Fund,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
the
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss

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
over-the-counter.
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.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
The
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”),
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of the
Fund.
For
such
services,
the
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
equal
to
0.08%
of
the
average
daily
value
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Distribution
Fees:
 The
Company
,
on behalf
of
the
Fund,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
and
a Distribution Plan
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
Distribution Plan
and
in
accordance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act, the
Fund
pays
BRIL
ongoing
distribution
fees.
The
fees
are
accrued
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
an
annual rate
of 
0.25
%
based
upon
the
average
daily
net
assets
attributable
to
Class
III.
BRIL
and
broker-dealers,
pursuant
to
sub-agreements
with
BRIL,
provide
shareholder
distribution
services
to
the
Fund.
The
ongoing
distribution
fee
compensates
BRIL
and
each
broker-dealer
for
providing
shareholder
distribution
related
services
to
shareholders.
For
the six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
class
specific
distribution
fees
borne
directly
by Class III were
$4,461.

On
behalf
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
entered
into
agreements
with
insurance
companies
and
other
financial
intermediaries
(“Service
Organizations”),
some
of
which
may
be
affiliates.
Pursuant
to
these
agreements,
the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Fund
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these
services,
the
Service
Organizations
receive
an
annual
fee
per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or
net
assets
of
Fund
shareholders
serviced
by
the
Service
Organizations
which
is
shown
as
transfer
agent
class
specific
 in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
pay
any
amounts
to
affiliates
in
return
for
these
services.
In
addition,
the
Fund
pays
the
transfer
agent,
which
is
not
an
affiliate,
a
fee
for
the
issuance,
transfer
and
redemption
of
shares
and
the
opening
and
maintenance
of
shareholder
accounts,
which
is
included
in

Securities
Lending:
 The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional,
managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees
the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money

will
not
be
subject
to
a

Securities
lending
income
is
generally
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
(and
excludes
collateral
investment
fees),
and
any
fees
or
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities.
The
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
the
securities
lending
income
and
remits the
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.  
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of
the
total
of
securities
lending
income
plus
the
collateral
investment
expenses.  
In
addition,
commencing
the
business
day
following
the
date
that
the
aggregate
securities
lending
income
earned
across
the
BlackRock Multi-Asset
Complex
in
a
calendar
year
exceeds
a
specified
threshold,
the
Fund,
pursuant
to
the
securities
lending
agreement,
will
retain
for
the
remainder
of
that
calendar
year
securities
lending
income
in
an
amount
equal
to
81%
of
securities
lending
income
(which
excludes
collateral
investment
expenses),
and
this
amount
retained
can
never
be
less
than
70%
of

of
securities
lending
income
earned
by
the
Fund
is

For
the six
months
ended June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
paid
BIM $40,184
for
securities
lending agent
services. 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
the
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
June
30,
2024,
the
Fund
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Company are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Fund
reimburses
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Company's
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and

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
June
30,
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

the
Fund’s

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Company,
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,
$2.40
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
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(“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
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
Prior
to
April
11,
2024,
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
was
$2.50
billion.
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
June
30,
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. 
The
Manager
uses
an
indexing
approach
to
try
to
achieve
the
Fund’s
investment
objective.
The
Fund
is
not
actively
managed,
and
the
Manager
generally
does
not
attempt
to
take
defensive
positions
under
any
market
conditions,
including
declining
markets.
The
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
discretionary
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.  
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.
With
exchange-traded
futures,
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 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
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.
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.

The
Advisory
Agreement
and
the

are
referred

“Agreements.”
The
Approval
Process
Consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”),
the
Board
considers
the
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Agreements
for
each
Fund
on
an
annual
basis.
The
Board
members
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Corporation,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
are
considered
independent
Board
members
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”).
The
Board’s
consideration
entailed
a
year-long
deliberative
process
during
which
the
Board
and
its
committees
assessed
BlackRock’s
various
services
to
each
Fund,
including
through
the
review
of
written
materials
and
oral
presentations,
and
the
review
of
additional
information
provided
in
response
to
requests
from
the
Independent
Board
Members.
The
Board
had
four
quarterly
meetings
per
year,
each
of
which
extended
over
a
two-day
period,
as
well
as
additional
ad
hoc
meetings
and
executive
sessions
throughout
the
year,
as
needed.
The
committees
of
the
Board
similarly
met
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
also
had
an
additional
one-day
meeting
to
consider
specific
information
regarding
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement[s].
In
considering
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
assessed,
among
other
things,
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
personnel
and
affiliates,
including
(as
applicable):
investment
management
services;
accounting
oversight;
administrative
and
shareholder
services;
oversight
of
the
Fund’s
service
providers;
risk
management
and
oversight;
and
legal,
regulatory
and
compliance
services.
Throughout
the
year,
including
during
the
contract
renewal
process,
the
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel,
and
met
with
independent
legal
counsel
in
various
executive
sessions
outside
of
the
presence
of
BlackRock’s
management.
During
the
year,
the
Board,
acting
directly
and
through
its
committees,
considered
information
that
was
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
including
the
services
and
support
provided
by
BlackRock
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
BlackRock
also
furnished
additional
information
to
the
Board
in
response
to
specific
questions
from
the
Board.
Among
the
matters
the
Board
considered
were:

(“ETF”),

and
(m)

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

result
of

relationship
with

and
(g) other
factors
deemed
relevant
by

Board
Members.
The
Board
also
considered
other
matters
it
deemed
important
to
the
approval
process,
such
as
other
payments
made
to
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
relating
to
securities
lending
and
cash
management,
and
BlackRock’s
services
related
to
the
valuation
and
pricing
of
Fund
portfolio
holdings.
The
Board
noted
the
willingness
of
BlackRock’s
personnel
to
engage
in
open,
candid
discussions
with
the
Board.
The
Board
evaluated
the
information
available
to
it
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis.
The
following
paragraphs
provide
more
information
about
some
of
the
primary
factors
that
were
relevant
to
the
Board’s
decision.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information,
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
items
and
factors
considered.
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
the
Services
Provided
by
BlackRock
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
BlackRock,
including
the
investment
advisory
services
and
the
resulting
performance
of
each
Fund.
Throughout
the
year,
the
Board
compared
each
Fund’s
performance
to
the
performance
of
a
comparable
group
of
mutual
funds,
relevant
benchmark,
and
performance
metrics,
as
applicable.
The
Board
met
with
BlackRock’s
senior
management
personnel
responsible
for
investment
activities,
including
the
senior
investment
officers.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
materials
provided
by
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
discussing
the
Fund’s
performance,
investment
strategies
and
outlook.
The
Board
considered,
among
other
factors,
with
respect
to
BlackRock:
the
experience
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team;
research
capabilities;
investments
by
portfolio
managers
in
the
funds
they
manage;
portfolio
trading
capabilities;
use
of
technology;
commitment
to
compliance;
credit
analysis
capabilities;
risk
analysis
and
oversight
capabilities;
and
the
approach
to
training
and
retaining
portfolio
managers
and
other
research,
advisory
and
management
personnel.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
risk
management
program,
including
the
continued
efforts
of
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
address
cybersecurity
risks
and
the
role
of
BlackRock’s
Risk
&
Quantitative
Analysis
Group.
The
Board
engaged
in
a
review
of
BlackRock’s
compensation
structure
with
respect
to
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
talent
and
create
performance
incentives.
In
addition
to
investment
advisory
services,
the
Board
considered
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
administrative
and
other
non-investment
advisory
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Funds
with
certain
administrative,
shareholder
and
other
services
(in
addition
to
any
such
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
third
parties)
and
officers
and
other
personnel
as
are
necessary
for
the
operations
of
the
Funds.
In
particular,
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
the
Funds
with
administrative
services
including,
among
others:
(i)
responsibility
for
disclosure
documents,
such
as
the
prospectus,
the
summary
prospectus
(as
applicable),
the
statement
of
additional
information
and
periodic
shareholder
reports;
(ii)
oversight
of
daily
accounting
and
pricing;
(iii)
responsibility
for
periodic
filings
with
regulators;
(iv)
overseeing
and
coordinating
the
activities
of
third-party
service
providers,
including,
among
others,
each
Fund’s
custodian,
fund
accountant,
transfer
agent,
and
auditor;
(v)
organizing
Board
meetings
and
preparing
the
materials
for
such
Board
meetings;
(vi)
providing
legal
and
compliance
support;
(vii)
furnishing
analytical
and
other
support
to
assist
the
Board
in
its
consideration
of
strategic
issues
such
as
the
merger,
consolidation
or
repurposing
of
certain
open-end
funds;
and
(viii)
performing
or
managing
administrative
functions
necessary
for
the
operation
of
the
Funds,
such
as
tax
reporting,
expense
management,
fulfilling
regulatory
filing
requirements,
overseeing
each
Fund’s
distribution
partners,
and
shareholder
call
center
and
other
services.
The
Board
reviewed
the
structure
and
duties
of
BlackRock’s
fund
administration,
shareholder
services,
and
legal
and
compliance
departments
and
considered
BlackRock’s
policies
and
procedures
for
assuring
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
regulations.
The
Board
considered
the
operation
of
BlackRock’s
business
continuity
plans.
The
Board
noted
that
the
engagement
of,
with
respect
to
International
V.I.
Fund
and
Managed
Volatility
V.I.
Fund,
BIL,
with
respect
to
Managed
Volatility
V.I.
Fund
and
Global
Allocation
V.I.
Fund,
BSL
and,
with
respect
to
Managed
Volatility
V.I.
Fund,
BNA,
facilitates
the
provision
of
investment
advice
and
trading
by
investment
personnel
out
of
non-U.S.
jurisdictions.
The
Board
considered
that
this
arrangement
provides
additional
flexibility
to
the
portfolio
management
team,
which
may
benefit
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
B.
The
Investment
Performance
of
the
Funds
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
history
of
the
Fund
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
April
Meeting.
In
preparation
for
the
April
Meeting,
the
Board
was
provided
with
reports
independently
prepared
by
Broadridge,
which
included
an
analysis
of
the
Fund’s
performance
as
of
December
31,
2023,
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Broadridge
ranks
funds
in
quartiles,
ranging
from
first
to
fourth,
where
first
is
the
most
desirable
quartile
position
and
fourth
is
the
least
desirable.
In
connection
with
its
review,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and,
with
respect
to
Large

V.I.
Fund
and
International
V.I.
Fund,
the
respective
Morningstar
open-end
fund
category
(“Morningstar
Open-End
Category”)
and,
with
respect
to
Managed
Volatility
V.I.
Fund,
in
light
of
the
Fund’s
outcome-oriented
investment
objective,
certain
performance
metrics
(“Outcome-Oriented
Performance
Metrics”)
and,
with
respect
to
International
Index
V.I.
Fund,
Small
Cap
Index
V.I.
Fund
and
S&P
500
Index
V.I.
Fund,
the
performance
of
the
Fund
as
compared
with
its
benchmark
and,
with
respect
to
Government
Money
Market
V.I.
Fund,
a
weighted
average
benchmark
of
similar
funds,
as
defined
by
BlackRock
(“Benchmark
Weighted
Average”).
The
Board
and
its
Performance
Oversight
Committee
regularly
review
and
meet
with
Fund
management
to
discuss
the
performance
of
each
Fund
throughout
the
year.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
The
Board
also
noted
that
while
it
found
the
data
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
the
limitations
of
such
data,
including
in
particular,
that
notable
differences
may
exist
between
a
fund
and
its
Performance
Peers
(for
example,
the
investment
objectives
and
strategies).
Further,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
performance
data
reflects
a
snapshot
of
a
period
as
of
a
particular
date
and
that
selecting
a
different
performance
period
could
produce
significantly
different
results.
The
Board
also
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance,
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
have
the
ability
to
disproportionately
affect
long-term
performance.

C.
Consideration
of
the
Advisory/Management
Fees
and
the
Estimated
Cost
of
the
Services
and
Estimated
Profits
Realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
Affiliates
from
their
Relationship
with
the
Funds
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
each
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
compared
with
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
contractual
management
fee
rate
represents
a
combination
of
the
advisory
fee
and
any
administrative
fees,
before
taking
into
account
any
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers.
The
Board
also
compared
each
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio,
as
well
as
its
actual
management
fee
rate,
to
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
total
expense
ratio
represents
a
fund’s
total
net
operating
expenses,
including
any
12b-1
or
non-12b-1
service
fees.
The
total
expense
ratio
gives
effect
to
any
expense
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers,
and
the
actual
management
fee
rate
gives
effect
to
any
management
fee
reimbursements
or
waivers.
The
Board
considered
that
the
fee
and
expense
information
in
the
Broadridge
report
for
the
Fund
reflected
information
for
a
specific
period
and
that
historical
asset
levels
and
expenses
may
differ
from
current
levels,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
considered
the
services
provided
and
the
fees
charged
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
other
types
of
clients
with
similar
investment
mandates,
as
applicable,
including
institutional
accounts
and
sub-advised
mutual
funds
(including
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
third
parties).
The
Board
received
and
reviewed
statements
relating
to
BlackRock’s
financial
condition.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
profitability
methodology
and
was
also
provided
with
an
estimated
profitability
analysis
that
detailed
the
revenues
earned
and
the
expenses
incurred
by
BlackRock
for
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
each
Fund
and
other
funds
the
Board
currently
oversees
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2023
compared
to
available
aggregate
estimated
profitability
data
provided
for
the
prior

The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
certain
other
U.S.
fund
complexes
managed
by
the
Manager
and/or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
assumptions
and
methodology
of
allocating
expenses
in
the

analysis,
noting
the
inherent
limitations
in
allocating
costs
among
various
advisory
products.
The
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
by
the
Manager,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
precision
of
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
The
Board
thus
recognized
that
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
the
individual
fund
level
is
difficult.
The
Board
noted
that,
in
general,
individual
fund
or

line
profitability
of
other
advisors
is
not

The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
overall
operating
margin,
in
general,
compared
to
that
of
certain
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
The
Board
considered
the
differences
between
BlackRock
and
these
other
firms,
including
the
contribution
of
technology
at
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
expense
management,
and
the
relative
product
mix.
The
Board
considered
whether
BlackRock
has
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality
investment
management
personnel
to
perform
its
obligations
under
the
Agreements
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
high
quality
of
services
that
is
expected
by
the
Board.
The
Board
further
considered
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
BlackRock’s
commitment
of
time
and
resources,
assumption
of
risk,
and
liability
profile
in
servicing
the
Funds,
including
in
contrast
to
what
is
required
of
BlackRock
with
respect
to
other
products
with
similar
investment
mandates
across
the

D.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
the
extent
to
which
any
economies
of
scale
might
benefit
each
Fund
in
a
variety
of
ways
as
the
assets
of
the
Fund
increase.
The
Board
considered
multiple
factors,
including
the
advisory
fee
rate
and
breakpoints,
unitary
fee
structure,
fee
waivers,
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable.
The
Board
considered
each
Fund’s
asset
levels
and
whether
the
current
fee
schedule
was
appropriate.
E.
Other
Factors
Deemed
Relevant
by
the
Board
Members
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
also
took
into
account
other
ancillary
or
“fall-out”
benefits
that
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
may
derive
from
BlackRock’s
respective
relationships
with
the
Funds,
both
tangible
and
intangible,
such
as
BlackRock’s
ability
to
leverage
its
investment
professionals
who
manage
other
portfolios
and
its
risk
management
personnel,
an
increase
in
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
advisory
community,
and
the
engagement
of
BlackRock’s
affiliates
as
service
providers
to
the
Funds,
including
for
administrative,
distribution,
securities
lending
and
cash
management
services.
With
respect
to
securities
lending,
during
the
year
the
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
independent
third-party
consultants
related
to
the
performance
of
each
BlackRock
affiliate
as
securities
lending
agent.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
operations
and
its
efforts
to
expand
the
scale
of,
and
improve
the
quality
of,
its
operations.
The
Board
also
noted
that,
subject
to
applicable
law,
BlackRock
may
use
and
benefit
from
third-party
research
obtained
by
soft
dollars
generated
by
certain
registered
fund
transactions
to
assist
in
managing
all
or
a
number
of
its
other
client
accounts.
In
connection
with
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
also
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
brokerage
and
soft
dollar
practices.
The
Board
received
reports
from
BlackRock
which
included
information
on
brokerage
commissions
and
trade
execution
practices
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
noted
the
competitive
nature
of
the
open-end
fund
marketplace,
and
that
shareholders
are
able
to
redeem
their
Fund
shares
if
they
believe
that
the
pertinent
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
are
too
high
or
if
they
are
dissatisfied
with
the
performance
of
the
Fund.
Conclusion
At
the
May
Meeting,
in
a
continuation
of
the
discussions
that
occurred
during
the
April
Meeting,
and
as
a
culmination
of
the
Board’s
year-long
deliberative
process,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,

V.I.
Fund
and
Global

V.I.

a
one-year
term
ending
June

2025.
Based
upon
its
evaluation
of
all
of
the
aforementioned
factors
in
their
totality,
as
well
as
other
information,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
was
satisfied
that
the
terms
of
the
Agreements
were
fair
and
reasonable
and,
in
the
best
interest
of
each
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
In
arriving
at
its
decision
to
approve
the
Agreements,
the
Board
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
or
group
of
factors
as
all-important
or
controlling,
but
considered
all
factors
together,
and
different
Board
Members
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
factors
considered.
The
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel
throughout
the
deliberative
process.

provided
in
response
to
requests
from
the
Independent
Board
Members.
The
Board
had
four
quarterly
meetings
per
year,
each
of
which
extended
over
a
two-day
period,
as
well
as
additional
ad
hoc
meetings
and
executive
sessions
throughout
the
year,
as
needed.
The
committees
of
the
Board
similarly
met
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
also
had
an
additional
one-day
meeting
to
consider
specific
information
regarding
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
In
considering
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
assessed,
among
other
things,
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
each
Fund
by
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
personnel
and
affiliates,
including
(as
applicable):
investment
management
services;
accounting
oversight;
administrative
and
shareholder
services;
oversight
of
each
Fund’s
service
providers;
risk
management
and
oversight;
and
legal,
regulatory
and
compliance
services.
Throughout
the
year,
including
during
the
contract
renewal
process,
the
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel,
and
met
with
independent
legal
counsel
in
various
executive
sessions
outside
of
the
presence
of
BlackRock’s
management.
During
the
year,
the
Board,
acting
directly
and
through
its
committees,
considered
information
that
was
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements,
including
the
services
and
support
provided
by
BlackRock
to
each
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
BlackRock
also
furnished

the
Board
in

and
(m)

Prior
to
and
in
preparation
for
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
the
renewal
of
the
Agreements.
The
Independent
Board
Members
continuously
engaged
in
a
process
with
their
independent
legal
counsel
and
BlackRock
to
review
the
nature
and
scope
of
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
to
better
assist
its
deliberations.
The
materials
provided
in
connection
with
the
May
Meeting
included,
among
other
things:
(a)
information
independently
compiled
and
prepared
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”),
based
on
either
a
Lipper
classification
or
Morningstar
category,
regarding
each
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
as
compared
with
a
peer
group
of
funds
as
determined
by
Broadridge
(“Expense
Peers”)
and
the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund
as
compared
with
a
peer
group
of
funds
(“Performance
Peers”);
(b)
information
on
the
composition
of
the
Expense
Peers
and
Performance
Peers
and
a
description
of
Broadridge’s
methodology;
(c)
information
on
the
estimated
profits
realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
pursuant
to
the
Agreements
and
a
discussion
of
fall-out
benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates;
(d)
a
general
analysis
provided
by
BlackRock
concerning
investment
management
fees
received
in
connection
with
other
types
of
investment
products,
such
as
institutional
accounts,
sub-advised
mutual
funds,
ETFs,
closed-end
funds,
open-end
funds,
and
separately
managed
accounts,
under
similar
investment
mandates,
as
well
as
the
performance
of
such
other
products,
as
applicable;
(e)
a
review
of
non-management
fees;
(f)
the
existence,
impact
and
sharing
of
potential
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
with
each
Fund;
(g)
a
summary
of
aggregate
amounts
paid
by
each
Fund
to
BlackRock;
(h)
sales
and
redemption
data
regarding
each
Fund’s
shares;
and
(i)
various
additional
information
requested
by
the
Board
as
appropriate
regarding
BlackRock’s
and
each
Fund’s
operations.
At
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relating
to
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements
and
the
Independent
Board
Members
presented
BlackRock
with
questions
and
requests
for
additional
information.
BlackRock
responded
to
these
questions
and
requests
with
additional
written
information
in
advance
of
the
June
Meeting,
and
such
responses
were
reviewed
by
the
Board
Members.
At
the
June
Meeting,
the
Board
concluded
its
assessment
of,
among
other
things:
(a) the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
BlackRock;
(b) the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
to
other
metrics,
as
applicable;
(c) the
advisory
fee
and
the
estimated
cost
of
the
services
and
estimated
profits
realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationship
with
each
Fund;
(d) each
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
compared
to
its
Expense
Peers;
(e)
the
existence
and
sharing
of
potential
economies
of
scale;
(f)
any
fall-out
benefits
to
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
as
a
result
of
BlackRock’s
relationship
with
each
Fund;
and
(g) other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Board
Members.
The
Board
also
considered
other
matters
it
deemed
important
to
the
approval
process,
such
as
other
payments
made
to
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
relating
to
securities
lending
and
cash
management,
and
BlackRock’s
services
related
to
the
valuation
and
pricing
of
Fund
portfolio
holdings.
The
Board
noted
the
willingness
of
BlackRock’s
personnel
to
engage
in
open,
candid
discussions
with
the
Board.
The
Board
evaluated
the
information
available
to
it
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis.
The
following
Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
(continued)
Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
paragraphs
provide
more
information
about
some
of
the
primary
factors
that
were
relevant
to
the
Board’s
decision.
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
particular
information,
or
any
single
factor
as
determinative,
and
each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
items
and
factors
considered.
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
the
Services
Provided
by
BlackRock
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
BlackRock,
including
the
investment
advisory
services,
and
the
resulting
performance
of
each
Fund.
Throughout
the
year,
the
Board
compared
Fund
performance
to
the
performance
of
a
comparable
group
of
mutual
funds,
relevant
benchmarks,
and
performance
metrics,
as
applicable.
The
Board
met
with
BlackRock’s
senior
management
personnel
responsible
for
investment
activities,
including
the
senior
investment
officers.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
materials
provided
by
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
discussing
each
Fund’s
performance,
investment
strategies
and
outlook.
The
Board
considered,
among
other
factors,
with
respect
to
BlackRock:
the
experience
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team;
research
capabilities;
investments
by
portfolio
managers
in
the
funds
they
manage;
portfolio
trading
capabilities;
use
of
technology;
commitment
to
compliance;
credit
analysis
capabilities;
risk
analysis
and
oversight
capabilities;
and
the
approach
to
training
and
retaining
portfolio
managers
and
other
research,
advisory
and
management
personnel.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
risk
management
program,
including
the
continued
efforts
of
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
address
cybersecurity
risks
and
the
role
of
BlackRock’s
Risk
&
Quantitative
Analysis
Group.
The
Board
engaged
in
a
review
of
BlackRock’s
compensation
structure
with
respect
to
each
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team
and
BlackRock’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
talent
and
create
performance
incentives.
In
addition
to
investment
advisory
services,
the
Board
considered
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
administrative
and
other
non-investment
advisory
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
each
Fund
with
certain
administrative,
shareholder
and
other
services
(in
addition
to
any
such
services
provided
to
each
Fund
by
third
parties)
and
officers
and
other
personnel
as
are
necessary
for
the
operations
of
each
Fund.
In
particular,
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
provide
each
Fund
with
administrative
services
including,
among
others:
(i)
responsibility
for
disclosure
documents,
such
as
the
prospectus,
the
summary
prospectus
(as
applicable),
the
statement
of
additional
information
and
periodic
shareholder
reports;
(ii)
oversight
of
daily
accounting
and
pricing;
(iii)
responsibility
for
periodic
filings
with
regulators;
(iv)
overseeing
and
coordinating
the
activities
of
third-party
service
providers
including,
among
others,
each
Fund’s
custodian,
fund
accountant,
transfer
agent,
and
auditor;
(v)
organizing
Board
meetings
and
preparing
the
materials
for
such
Board
meetings;
(vi)
providing
legal
and
compliance
support;
(vii)
furnishing
analytical
and
other
support
to
assist
the
Board
in
its
consideration
of
strategic
issues
such
as
the
merger,
consolidation
or
repurposing
of
certain
open-end
funds;
and
(viii)
performing
or
managing
administrative
functions
necessary
for
the
operation
of
each
Fund,
such
as
tax
reporting,
expense
management,
fulfilling
regulatory
filing
requirements,
overseeing
each
Fund’s
distribution
partners,
and
shareholder
call
center
and
other
services.
The
Board
reviewed
the
structure
and
duties
of
BlackRock’s
fund
administration,
shareholder
services,
and
legal
and
compliance
departments
and
considered
BlackRock’s
policies
and
procedures
for
assuring
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
regulations.
The
Board
considered
the
operation
of
BlackRock’s
business
continuity
plans.
The
Board
noted
that
the
engagement
of
the
Sub-Advisors
with
respect
to
each
Fund,
as
applicable,
facilitates
the
provision
of
investment
advice
and
trading
by
investment
personnel
out
of
non-U.S.
jurisdictions.
The
Board
considered
that
this
arrangement
provides
additional
flexibility
to
the
portfolio
management
team,
which
may
benefit
each
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
B.
The
Investment
Performance
of
each
Fund
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
history
of
each
Fund
throughout
the
year
and
at
the
May
Meeting.
In
preparation
for
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
was
provided
with
reports
independently
prepared
by
Broadridge,
which
included
an
analysis
of
each
Fund’s
performance
as
of
December
31,
2023,
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers.
Broadridge
ranks
funds
in
quartiles,
ranging
from
first
to
fourth,
where
first
is
the
most
desirable
quartile
position
and
fourth
is
the
least
desirable.
In
connection
with
its
review,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding
the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund
as
compared
to
its
Performance
Peers
and
the
respective
Morningstar
open-end
fund
category
(“Morningstar
Open-End
Category”).
The
Board
and
its
Performance
Oversight
Committee
regularly
review
and
meet
with
Fund
management
to
discuss
the
performance
of
each
Fund
throughout
the
year.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
The
Board
also
noted
that
while
it
found
the
data
provided
by
Broadridge
generally
useful,
it
recognized
the
limitations
of
such
data,
including
in
particular,
that
notable
differences
may
exist
between
a
fund
and
its
Performance
Peers
(for
example,
the
investment
objectives
and
strategies).
Further,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
performance
data
reflects
a
snapshot
of
a
period
as
of
a
particular
date
and
that
selecting
a
different
performance
period
could
produce
significantly
different
results.
The
Board
also
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance,
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
have
the
ability
to
disproportionately
affect
long-term
performance.
The
Board
noted
that
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
reported,
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund
ranked
in
the
first,
second
and
first
quartiles,
respectively,
against
its
Morningstar
Open-End
Category.
The
Board
noted
that
BlackRock
believes
that
the
Morningstar
Open-End
Category
is
an
appropriate
performance
metric
for
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund,
and
that
BlackRock
has
explained
its
rationale
for
this
belief
to
the
Board.
The
Board
noted
that
for
each
of
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
reported,
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund
ranked
in
the
third
quartile
against
its
Morningstar
Open-End
Category.
The
Board
noted
that
BlackRock
believes
that
the
Morningstar
Open-End
Category
is
an
appropriate
performance
metric
for
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund,
and
that
BlackRock
has
explained
its
rationale
for
this
belief
to
the
Board.
The
Board
and
BlackRock
reviewed
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund’s
underperformance
relative
to
its
Morningstar
Open-End
Category
during
the
applicable
periods.
C.
Consideration
of
the
Advisory/Management
Fees
and
the
Estimated
Cost
of
the
Services
and
Estimated
Profits
Realized
by
BlackRock
and
its
Affiliates
from
their
Relationship
with
each
Fund
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
reviewed
each
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
compared
with
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
contractual
management
fee
rate
represents
a
combination
of
the
advisory
fee
and
any
administrative
fees,
before
taking
into
account
any
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers.
The
Board
also
compared
each
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio,
as
well
as
its
actual
management
fee
rate,
to
those
of
its
Expense
Peers.
The
total
expense
ratio
represents
Disclosure
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
(continued)
2024
BlackRock
Semi-Annual
Financial
Statements
a
fund’s
total
net
operating
expenses,
including
any
12b-1
or
non-12b-1
service
fees.
The
total
expense
ratio
gives
effect
to
any
expense
reimbursements
or
fee
waivers,
and
the
actual
management
fee
rate
gives
effect
to
any
management
fee
reimbursements
or
waivers.
The
Board
considered
that
the
fee
and
expense
information
in
the
Broadridge
report
for
each
Fund
reflected
information
for
a
specific
period
and
that
historical
asset
levels
and
expenses
may
differ
from
current
levels,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
considered
the
services
provided
and
the
fees
charged
by
BlackRock
and
its
affiliates
to
other
types
of
clients
with
similar
investment
mandates,
as
applicable,
including
institutional
accounts
and
sub-advised
mutual
funds
(including
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
third
parties).
The
Board
received
and
reviewed
statements
relating
to
BlackRock’s
financial
condition.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
profitability
methodology
and
was
also
provided
with
an
estimated
profitability
analysis
that
detailed
the
revenues
earned
and
the
expenses
incurred
by
BlackRock
for
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
each
Fund
and
other
funds
the
Board
currently
oversees
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2023
compared
to
available
aggregate
estimated
profitability
data
provided
for
the
prior
two
years.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
estimated
profitability
with
respect
to
certain
other
U.S.
fund
complexes
managed
by
the
Manager
and/or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
assumptions
and
methodology
of
allocating
expenses
in
the
estimated
profitability
analysis,
noting
the
inherent
limitations
in
allocating
costs
among
various
advisory
products.
The
Board
recognized
that
profitability
may
be
affected
by
numerous
factors
including,
among
other
things,
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
by
the
Manager,
the
types
of
funds
managed,
precision
of
expense
allocations
and
business
mix.
The
Board
thus
recognized
that
calculating
and
comparing
profitability
at
the
individual
fund
level
is
difficult.
The
Board
noted
that,
in
general,
individual
fund
or
product
line
profitability
of
other
advisors
is
not
publicly
available.
The
Board
reviewed
BlackRock’s
overall
operating
margin,
in
general,
compared
to
that
of
certain
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
The
Board
considered
the
differences
between
BlackRock
and
these
other
firms,
including
the
contribution
of
technology
at
BlackRock,
BlackRock’s
expense
management,
and
the
relative
product
mix.
The
Board
considered
whether
BlackRock
has
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality
investment
management
personnel
to
perform
its
obligations
under
the
Agreements
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
high
quality
of
services
that
is
expected
by
the
Board.
The
Board
further
considered
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
BlackRock’s
commitment
of
time
and
resources,
assumption
of
risk,
and
liability
profile
in
servicing
each
Fund,
including
in
contrast
to
what
is
required
of
BlackRock
with
respect
to
other
products
with
similar
investment
mandates
across
the
open-end
fund,
ETF,
closed-end
fund,
sub-advised
mutual
fund,
separately
managed
account,
collective
investment
trust,
and
institutional
separate
account
product
channels,
as
applicable.
The
Board
noted
that
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
ranked
in
the
first
and
second
quartiles,
respectively,
relative
to
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund
has
an
advisory
fee
arrangement
that
includes
breakpoints
that
adjust
the
fee
rate
downward
as
the
aggregate
assets
of
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund,
combined
with
the
assets
of
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund,
increase
above
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
additionally
noted
that
the
breakpoints
can,
conversely,
adjust
the
advisory
fee
rate
upward
as
the
size
of
the
aggregate
assets
of
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund
and
the
Total
Return
V.I
Fund,
decrease
below
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
further
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund’s
total
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
Additionally,
the
Board
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
certain
operational
and
recordkeeping
fees
for
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quartile,
and
that
the
actual
management
fee
rate
and
total
expense
ratio
each
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
relative
to
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund’s
Expense
Peers.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund
has
an
advisory
fee
arrangement
that
includes
breakpoints
that
adjust
the
fee
rate
downward
as
the

assets
of
the
Total

V.I.
Fund,
combined
with
the
assets
of
the
High
Yield
V.I.
Fund,
increase
above
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
additionally
noted
that
the
breakpoints
can,
conversely,
adjust
the
advisory
fee
rate
upward
as
the
size
of
the
aggregate
assets
of
Total

V.I.
Fund
and
the
High
Yield
V.I
Fund,
decrease
below
certain
contractually
specified
levels.
The
Board
further
noted
that
BlackRock
and
the
Board
have
contractually
agreed
to
a
cap
on
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund’s
total
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
the
Total
Return
V.I.
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
on
a
class-by-class
basis.
Additionally,
the
Board
noted
that

D.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
considered
the
extent
to
which
any
economies
of
scale
might
benefit
each
Fund
in
a
variety
of
ways
as
the
assets
of
each
Fund
increase.
The
Board
considered
multiple
factors,
including
the
advisory
fee
rate
and
breakpoints,
unitary
fee
structure,
fee
waivers,
and/or
expense
caps,
as
applicable.
The
Board
considered
each
Fund’s
asset
levels
and
whether
the
current
fee
schedule
was
appropriate.
E.
Other
Factors
Deemed
Relevant
by
the
Board
Members
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Board
Members,
also
took
into
account
other
ancillary
or
“fall-out”
benefits
that
BlackRock
or
its
affiliates
may
derive
from
BlackRock’s
respective
relationships
with
each
Fund,
both
tangible
and
intangible,
such
as
BlackRock’s
ability
to
leverage
its
investment
professionals
who
manage
other
portfolios
and
its
risk
management
personnel,
an
increase
in
BlackRock’s
profile
in
the
investment
advisory
community,
and
the
engagement
of
BlackRock’s
affiliates
as
service
providers
to
each
Fund,
including
for
administrative,
distribution,
securities
lending,
and
cash
management
services.
With
respect
to
securities
lending,
during
the
year
the
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
independent
third-party
consultants
related
to
the
performance
of
each
BlackRock
affiliate
as
securities
lending
agent.
The
Board
also
considered
BlackRock’s
overall
operations
and
its
efforts
to
expand
the
scale
of,
and
improve
the
quality
of,
its
operations.
The
Board
also
noted
that,
subject
to
applicable
law,
BlackRock
may
use
and
benefit
from
third-party
research
obtained
by
soft
dollars
generated
by
certain
registered
fund
transactions
to
assist
in
managing
all
or
a
number
of
its
other
client
accounts.
In
connection
with
its
consideration
of
the
Agreements,
the
Board
also
received
information
regarding
BlackRock’s
brokerage
and
soft
dollar
practices.
The
Board
received
reports
from
BlackRock
which
included
information
on
brokerage
commissions
and
trade
execution
practices
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
noted
the
competitive
nature
of
the
open-end
fund
marketplace,
and
that
shareholders
are
able
to
redeem
their
Fund
shares
if
they
believe
that
each
Fund’s
fees
and
expenses
are
too
high
or
if
they
are
dissatisfied
with
the
performance
of
each
Fund.

as
all-important
or

considered
all
factors

may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
factors
considered.
The
Independent
Board
Members
were
advised
by
independent
legal
counsel
throughout
the

process.
