(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Supplement dated April 6, 2017 to the Investor Shares Prospectus of each Fund (each, a “Prospectus”)

Effective April 10, 2017, each Prospectus is amended as follows:

The first paragraph in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Fund Overview—Key Facts About [the Fund]—Fees and Expenses of the Fund” or “Fund Overview—Fees and Expenses of the Fund,” as applicable, is amended to add a cross-reference to the “Intermediary-Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” section of the Prospectus.

The following is added before the last paragraph in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Account Information—How to Choose the Share Class that Best Suits Your Needs”:

The availability of certain sales charge waivers and reductions will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a Financial Intermediary. Financial Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales charge waivers or deferred sales charge waivers, which are discussed below. In all instances, it is your responsibility to notify the Fund or your Financial Intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying you for sales charge waivers or reductions. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular Financial Intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another Financial Intermediary to receive these waivers or reductions. Please see the “Intermediary-Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” section to determine any sales charge waivers and reductions that may be available to you through your Financial Intermediary.

See the “Intermediary-Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” section for sales charge reductions and waivers that may be available to customers of certain Financial Intermediaries.

Front-End Sales Charge Discounts Available at Merrill Lynch: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent

 

    Breakpoints as described in the prospectus

 

    Rights of Accumulation (ROA) entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts that will be automatically calculated based on the aggregated holding of BlackRock Fund assets held by accounts within the purchaser’s household at Merrill Lynch. Eligible BlackRock Fund assets not held at Merrill Lynch may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial advisor about such assets
