Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

4   BLACKROCK FUNDS II    MARCH 31, 2011    


Schedule of Investments (concluded)    BlackRock Emerging Market Debt Portfolio

 

   

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)

 

   

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

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)

 

   

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

   

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)

 

   

Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements as contained in its annual report.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments:
