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

Supplement dated November 30, 2018 to the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund

Each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

The section entitled “Investment Risks and Considerations — Liquidity Management — Liquidity Risk Management Rule,” in Part II of each Fund’s current Statement of Additional Information is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Liquidity Risk Management Rule. In October 2016, the SEC adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act (the “Liquidity Rule”), which requires open-end funds, such as the Funds, to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhance disclosures regarding fund liquidity. Effective December 1, 2018, as required by the Liquidity Rule, the Funds have implemented the initial portions of the Funds’ liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Program”), and the boards of trustees/directors of the Funds, including a majority of the independent trustees/directors, have appointed the Manager as the liquidity risk program administrator of the Liquidity Program. Under the Liquidity Program, the Manager assesses, manages, and periodically reviews each Fund’s liquidity risk. The implementation of the remaining portions of the Liquidity Program will take effect on or before June 1, 2019.

The twelfth paragraph or thirteenth paragraph, as applicable, in the section entitled “Selective Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings — Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Part II of each Fund’s current Statement of Additional Information is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

BlackRock may enter into transactions and invest in securities, instruments and currencies on behalf of a Fund in which clients of BlackRock or its Affiliates, or, to the extent permitted by the Commission and applicable law, BlackRock or another Affiliate, serves as the counterparty, principal or issuer. In such cases, such party’s interests in the transaction will be adverse to the interests of the Fund, and such party may have no incentive to assure that the Fund obtains the best possible prices or terms in connection with the transactions. In addition, the purchase, holding and sale of such investments by a Fund may enhance the profitability of BlackRock or its Affiliates.

One or more Affiliates may also create, write or issue derivatives for their clients, the underlying securities, currencies or instruments of which may be those in which a Fund invests or which may be based on the performance of the Fund. BlackRock has entered into an arrangement with Markit Indices Limited, the index provider for underlying fixed-income indexes used by certain iShares ETFs, related to derivative fixed-income products that are based on such iShares ETFs. BlackRock will receive certain payments for licensing intellectual property belonging to BlackRock and for facilitating provision of data in connection with such derivative products, which may include payments based on the trading volumes of, or revenues generated by, the derivative products. The Funds and other accounts managed by BlackRock may from time to time transact in such derivative products, which could contribute to the viability of such derivative products by making them more appealing to funds and accounts managed by third parties, and in turn lead to increased payments to BlackRock. Trading activity in such derivative products could also potentially lead to increased purchase activity with respect to these iShares ETFs and increased assets under management for BlackRock.

A Fund may, subject to applicable law, purchase investments that are the subject of an underwriting or other distribution by one or more Affiliates and may also enter into transactions with other clients of an Affiliate where such other clients have interests adverse to those of the Fund.

Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
