Supplement dated December 28, 2012 to the
Statement of Additional Information of each Fund
Effective December 31, 2012, each Funds Statement of Additional Information is amended to add the following to the section entitled Investment Objective and Policies and, if
applicable, to replace any conflicting disclosure regarding regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission which may be included:
Regulation Regarding Derivatives. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) adopted certain
regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to registered investment companies to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its liquidation value in CFTC-regulated futures, options and
swaps (CFTC Derivatives), or if the fund markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. To the extent a Fund uses CFTC-regulated futures, options and swaps, it intends to do so below such prescribed levels and will
not market itself as a commodity pool or a vehicle for trading such instruments. Accordingly, each Funds investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) pursuant to Rule 4.5 under the CEA. The investment adviser to each Fund is not, therefore, subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA in respect of such Fund.
A Fund may also have investments in underlying funds not advised by BlackRock (which for purposes of the no-action letter
referenced below may include certain securitized vehicles and/or mortgage REITS that may invest in CFTC Derivatives). A Funds investment adviser has no transparency into the holdings of these underlying funds because they are not advised by
BlackRock. To address this issue of lack of transparency, the CFTC staff issued a no-action letter on November 29, 2012 permitting the adviser of a fund that invests in such underlying funds and that would otherwise have filed a claim of
exclusion pursuant to Rule 4.5, to delay registration as a commodity pool operator until June 30, 2013 or six months from the date on which the CFTC issues additional guidance on the treatment of CFTC Derivatives held by underlying
funds. The investment adviser to certain of the Funds has filed a claim with the CFTC to rely on this no-action relief.
Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
