Supplement dated August 27, 2020 to the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund

Effective immediately, each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

The chart listing investments and investment strategies in the section entitled “I. Investment Objective and Policies” or “I. Investment Objectives and Policies,” as applicable, in Part I of each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information is amended to add the following in its appropriate alphabetical order:

 

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Integration

   X

 

2


The section entitled “Investment Risks and Considerations” in Part II of each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information is amended to add the following in its appropriate alphabetical order:

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Integration. Although a Fund does not seek to implement a specific ESG, impact or sustainability strategy unless disclosed in its Prospectus, Fund management will consider ESG characteristics as part of the investment process for actively managed Funds. These considerations will vary depending on a Fund’s particular investment strategies and may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of proprietary BlackRock research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. Fund management will consider those ESG characteristics it deems relevant or additive when making investment decisions for a Fund. The ESG characteristics utilized in a Fund’s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment.

ESG characteristics are not the sole considerations when making investment decisions for a Fund. Further, investors can differ in their views of what constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics. As a result, a Fund may invest in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values with respect to ESG of any particular investor. ESG considerations may affect a Fund’s exposure to certain companies or industries and a Fund may forego certain investment opportunities. While Fund management views ESG considerations as having the potential to contribute to a Fund’s long-term performance, there is no guarantee that such results will be achieved.

Certain Funds incorporate specific ESG, impact or sustainability considerations into their investment objectives, strategies, and/or processes, as described in the applicable Fund’s Prospectus.

Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
