Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® S&P NORTH AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY SECTOR INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

The iShares S&P North American Technology Sector Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P North American Technology Sector IndexTM (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of U.S.-traded stocks of technology-related companies in the U.S. and Canada. The Index includes companies in the following categories: producers of sophisticated computer-related devices; communications equipment and internet services; producers of computer and internet software; consultants for information technology; providers of computer services; and semiconductor equipment manufacturers. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (36.55)%, while the total return for the Index was (36.47)%.

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/13/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (3/19/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

The iShares S&P North American Technology-Multimedia Networking Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P North American Technology-Multimedia Networking IndexTM (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of U.S.-traded stocks of communication equipment companies in the U.S. and Canada. The Index includes companies that are producers of telecom, data networking and wireless equipment. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (41.00)%, while the total return for the Index was (41.05)%.

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (7/10/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated.

For purposes of calculating the total return of the Index, dividends and distributions made by companies included in the Index generally are assumed to be reinvested in the securities issued by those companies. However, prior to December 31, 2002, the total returns of the Index did not reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The performance of the Index would have been higher for periods prior to that date had dividends and distributions been assumed to be reinvested.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/13/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® NYSE COMPOSITE INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

The iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the NYSE Composite Index® (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of all common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and tracking stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The securities in the Index represent a broad spectrum of large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (37.50)%, while the total return for the Index was (37.56)%.

 

Average Annual Total Returns   Cumulative Total Returns
Year Ended 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
(41.34)%   (41.18)%   (41.47)%   (2.69)%   (2.70)%   (2.58)%   (12.39)%   (12.43)%   (11.90)%

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (3/30/04). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/2/04), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other Funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other Funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different Funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares S&P North American Technology Sector, iShares S&P North American Technology-Multimedia Networking, iShares S&P North American Technology-Semiconductors, iShares S&P North American Technology-Software, iShares S&P North American Natural Resources Sector, iShares NYSE Composite and iShares NYSE 100 Index Funds (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”).

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act, except for the iShares NYSE Composite and iShares NYSE 100 Index Funds, which are classified as diversified funds. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer companies than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Fund are valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Effective August 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (a “Level 1 Price”);

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (a “Level 2 Price”);

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability (a “Level 3 Price”).

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. However, the determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Funds. The Funds consider observable inputs to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds’ perceived risk of that instrument.

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 Prices, include active listed equities and certain U.S. government securities. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 Prices. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 Prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices may include unlisted securities related to corporate actions, securities whose trading have been suspended or which have been de-listed from their primary trading exchange, less liquid corporate debt securities (including distressed debt instruments), collateralized debt obligations, and less liquid mortgage securities (backed by either commercial or residential real estate). When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 Prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 Prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Funds in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 Prices does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended January 31, 2009.

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

The Funds may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Funds may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the six months ended January 31, 2009 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

Management has reviewed the tax positions as of January 31, 2009, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

SHORT POSITIONS

From time to time, in order to track the performance of their respective benchmark index, the Funds may sell non-index securities that they will receive through corporate actions occurring on the opening of market trading on the following business day. Such short positions are valued consistent with how securities are valued as described under “Security Valuation.” The obligation to deliver the securities is recorded as a liability on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is equal to the current market value of the securities to be delivered. Any market fluctuation between the value of the obligation to sell these securities and the current market value are reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Upon receipt of the securities related to corporate actions, the Funds record a realized gain (loss). Details of the short positions resulting from the non-index securities sold by the Funds, if any, are included in their respective Schedules of Investments.

Each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. These money market funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Funds from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the iShares NYSE Composite Index Fund had direct investments (exclusive of short-term investments) in issuers of which BGFA is an affiliate or issuers of which the Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the securities involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Funds of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BGFA; such reinvestments are subject to investment risk.

As of January 31, 2009, certain Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BGFA. The market value of the securities on loan as of January 31, 2009 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® FTSE DEVELOPED SMALL CAP EX-NORTH AMERICA INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

The iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the stock performance of small-capitalization companies in developed countries outside of North America, as defined by FTSE International Limited. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (44.33)%, while the total return for the Index was (43.88)%.

 

Average Annual Total Returns   Cumulative Total Returns
Year Ended 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
(47.21)%   (48.20)%   (46.41)%   (47.77)%   (48.22)%   (47.16)%   (54.78)%   (55.26)%   (54.14)%

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (11/12/07). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (11/16/07), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the period from August 13, 2008 (the inception date of the Fund) through January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (37.49)%, while the total return for the Index was (40.20)%.

 

Cumulative Total Returns
Inception to 1/31/09
NAV   MARKET   INDEX
(37.49)%   (38.14)%   (40.20)%

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated and are calculated from an inception date of 8/13/08.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (8/15/08), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Table of Contents

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other Funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other Funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different Funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America, iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25, iShares FTSE China (HK Listed), iShares MSCI ACWI, iShares MSCI ACWI ex US, iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan, iShares MSCI EAFE Growth, iShares MSCI EAFE Value, iShares MSCI EAFE Small Cap and iShares MSCI Kokusai Index Funds (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”). The iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index Fund commenced operations on August 13, 2008.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer companies than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

Each Fund invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Fund are valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Effective August 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to

 

116   2009 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (a “Level 1 Price”);

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (a “Level 2 Price”);

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability (a “Level 3 Price”).

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. However, the determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Funds. The Funds consider observable inputs to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds’ perceived risk of that instrument.

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 Prices, include active listed equities and certain U.S. government securities. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 Prices. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 Prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices may include unlisted securities related to corporate actions, securities whose trading have been suspended or which have been de-listed from their primary trading exchange, less liquid corporate debt securities (including distressed debt instruments), collateralized debt obligations, and less liquid mortgage securities (backed by either commercial or residential real estate). When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 Prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 Prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Funds in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 Prices does

not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments as of January 31, 2009:

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Funds as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

FOREIGN TAXES

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, capital gains on investments or currency repatriation. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are disclosed in their Statements of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of January 31, 2009, if any, are reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended January 31, 2009.

Certain Funds had tax basis net capital loss carryforwards as of July 31, 2008, the tax year-end of the Funds, as follows:

Net capital loss carryforwards may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

The Funds may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Funds may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, certain Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the six months ended January 31, 2009 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

As of January 31, 2009, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. These money market funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Funds from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the securities involved in the relevant Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Funds of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BGFA; such reinvestments are subject to investment risk.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® S&P ALLOCATION SERIES

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

     Cumulative Total Returns
      Inception to 1/31/09
iSHARES ALLOCATION FUND    NAV      MARKET      INDEX

S&P Conservative

     (1.53)%        0.21%        (1.50)%

S&P Moderate

     (4.95)%        (4.51)%        (4.93)%

S&P Growth

     (9.18)%        (9.10)%        (9.16)%

S&P Aggressive

   (14.01)%      (13.98)%      (14.01)%

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated and are calculated from an inception date of 11/4/08 for each of the Funds.

Each Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of such Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of each Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of each Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of each Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that each Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of each Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after each Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Funds (11/7/08), the NAV of each Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike each Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by each Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of each Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of each Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of each Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Each Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares S&P Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Conservative Allocation Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Target Risk Conservative Index (the “Conservative Allocation Index”). The Conservative Allocation Index seeks to measure the performance of an asset allocation strategy targeted to a conservative risk profile. The Conservative Allocation Fund is designed for investors seeking current income, capital preservation and avoidance of excessive volatility of returns. The Conservative Allocation Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Conservative Allocation Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Conservative Allocation Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Conservative Allocation Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Conservative Allocation Index. For the period from November 4, 2008 (inception date of the Conservative Allocation Fund) through January 31, 2009, the total return for the Conservative Allocation Fund was (1.53)%, while the total return for the Conservative Allocation Index was (1.50)%.

The iShares S&P Moderate Allocation Fund (the “Moderate Allocation Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Target Risk Moderate Index (the “Moderate Allocation Index”).

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated and are calculated from an inception date of 11/4/08 for each of the Funds.

Each Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of such Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of each Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of each Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of each Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that each Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of each Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after each Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Funds (11/7/08), the NAV of each Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike each Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by each Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of each Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of each Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of each Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Each Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index Fund (the “Retirement Income Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index (the “Retirement Income Index”).

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other Funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 4, 2008 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2009.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other Funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different Funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares S&P Conservative Allocation, iShares S&P Moderate Allocation, iShares S&P Growth Allocation and iShares S&P Aggressive Allocation Funds (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “iShares S&P Allocation Funds”), and the iShares S&P Target Date Retirement Income, iShares S&P Target Date 2010, iShares S&P Target Date 2015, iShares S&P Target Date 2020, iShares S&P Target Date 2025, iShares S&P Target Date 2030, iShares S&P Target Date 2035 and iShares S&P Target Date 2040 Index Funds (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “iShares S&P Target Date Funds”). The iShares S&P Allocation Funds and iShares S&P Target Date Funds (collectively, the “Funds”) commenced operations on November 4, 2008.

The investment objective of each of the iShares S&P Allocation Funds and iShares S&P Target Date Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of an S&P Target Risk Index or S&P Target Date Index, respectively (each, an “Underlying Index”). Each Underlying Index is comprised entirely of securities of iShares funds (each, an “Underlying Fund”, collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) that themselves seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of their own respective underlying indexes. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or indexing approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) fund of funds and seeks its investment objective by investing primarily in the affiliated Underlying Funds.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of each Fund are valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Funds are subject to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

44   2009 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means;

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Funds. As of January 31, 2009, the value of each Fund’s investment in each of its Underlying Funds was classified as a Level 1 price. The level of a value determined for an investment within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds’ perceived risk of an investment in the Underlying Fund, nor the levels of the investments held within each Underlying Fund. The Funds believe more relevant disclosure regarding fair value measurements relate to the investment portfolios of the Underlying Funds.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net assets and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the period ended January 31, 2009.

For the period ended January 31, 2009, certain Funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the period ended January 31, 2009 are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”) manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BGFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by Barclays Bank PLC. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BGFA is responsible for all expenses (“Covered Expenses”) of the Trust, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses.

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BGFA is entitled to receive an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. BGFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fees it is entitled to receive from each Fund, in an amount equal to 0.14%, through October 31, 2009. After giving effect to the fee waiver, BGFA will receive an annual advisory fee of 0.11% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. BGFA also receives investment advisory fees from the Underlying Funds as a result of the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Trust. As compensation for its services, State Street receives certain out-of-pocket costs, transaction fees and asset-based fees which are accrued daily and paid monthly. These fees and expenses are Covered Expenses as defined above.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SEI”) serves as each Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of each Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. SEI does not receive a fee from the Funds for its distribution services.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Funds are permitted to lend portfolio securities to Barclays Capital Inc. (“BarCap”). Pursuant to the same exemptive order, Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) serves as

Each Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Funds’ investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. These money market funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Funds from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Funds from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BGI and/or BGFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the securities involved in the relevant Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Funds of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the

securities when due. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BGFA; such reinvestments are subject to investment risk.

As of January 31, 2009, certain Funds had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BGFA. The market value of the securities on loan as of January 31, 2009 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.

Fund Performance Overview

iSHARES® MSCI EAFE INDEX FUND

Performance as of January 31, 2009

 

The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE® Index (the “Index”). The Index has been developed by MSCI Inc. as an equity benchmark for its international stock performance. The Index includes stocks from Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (40.55)%, while the total return for the Index was (40.75)%.

 

Average Annual Total Returns
Year Ended 1/31/09   Five Years Ended 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
(43.63)%   (44.75)%   (43.74)%   (0.83)%   (1.27)%   (0.70)%   0.84%   0.67%   0.93%
Cumulative Total Returns
Year Ended 1/31/09   Five Years Ended 1/31/09   Inception to 1/31/09
NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX   NAV   MARKET   INDEX
(43.63)%   (44.75)%   (43.74)%   (4.06)%   (6.19)%   (3.45)%   6.45%   5.13%   7.16%

Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (8/14/01). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (8/17/01), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other Funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different Funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer companies than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

The Fund invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The securities and other assets of the Fund are valued pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (a “Level 1 Price”);

 

20   2009 iSHARES SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (a “Level 2 Price”);

 

  Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability (a “Level 3 Price”).

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. However, the determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable inputs to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of that instrument.

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 Prices, include active listed equities and certain U.S. government securities. The Fund does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Fund holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 Prices. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 Prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 Prices may include unlisted securities related to corporate actions, securities whose trading have been suspended or which have been de-listed from their primary trading exchange, less liquid corporate debt securities (including distressed debt instruments), collateralized debt obligations, and less liquid mortgage securities (backed by either commercial or residential real estate). When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Fund uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

The inputs used by the Fund in estimating the value of Level 3 Prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 Prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Fund in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 Prices does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Fund’s results of operations.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2009:

 

Investments in Securities
Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
$28,857,255,122   $             –   $ 11,579,852   $ 28,868,834,974

The following table provides the reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value for the six months ended January 31, 2009:

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, and interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Fund as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

FOREIGN TAXES

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, capital gains on investments or currency repatriation. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are disclosed in its Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of January 31, 2009, if any, are reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and distributed once a year. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carry forwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required for the six months ended January 31, 2009.

As of July 31, 2008, the tax year-end of the Fund, the Fund had tax basis net capital loss carry forwards of $17,452,072 and $150,352 expiring in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Such losses may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

The Fund may own shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to, under U.S. tax law, as “passive foreign investment companies.” The Fund may elect to mark-to-market annually the shares of each passive foreign investment company and would be required to distribute to shareholders any such marked-to-market gains.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of large blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Fund and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to paid-in-capital at the end of the Fund’s tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The net realized in-kind gains or losses for the six months ended January 31, 2009 are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

As of January 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $42,955,673,425. Net unrealized depreciation was $14,086,838,451, of which $14,086,838,451 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities and $– represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities.

Management has reviewed the tax positions as of January 31, 2009, inclusive of the prior three open tax return years, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

                  0.35%

   First $30 billion

                  0.32

   Over $30 billion, up to and including $60 billion

                  0.28

  

Over $60 billion

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Trust. As compensation for its services, State Street receives certain out-of-pocket costs, transaction fees and asset-based fees which are accrued daily and paid monthly. These fees and expenses are Covered Expenses as defined above.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SEI”) serves as the Fund’s underwriter and distributor of the shares of the Fund, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. SEI does not receive a fee from the Fund for its distribution services.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Fund is permitted to lend portfolio securities to Barclays Capital Inc. (“BarCap”). Pursuant to the same exemptive order, Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”) serves as securities lending agent for the Fund. BarCap and BGI are affiliates of BGFA, the Fund’s investment adviser. As securities lending agent, BGI receives, as fees, a share of the income earned on investment of the cash collateral received for the loan of securities. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, BGI earned securities lending agent fees of $8,732,062.

The Fund may invest in the Institutional Shares of certain money market funds managed by BGFA, the Fund’s investment adviser, including the Government Money Market Fund (“GMMF”), Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”), Prime Money Market Fund (“PMMF”) and Treasury Money Market Fund (“TMMF”) of Barclays Global Investors Funds. These money market funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less from the date of acquisition. The GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are feeder funds in a master/feeder fund structure that invest substantially all of their assets in the Government Money Market Master Portfolio, Money Market Master Portfolio, Prime Money Market Master Portfolio and Treasury Money Market Master Portfolio (collectively, the “Money Market Master Portfolios”), respectively, which are also managed by BGFA. While the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF do not directly charge an investment advisory fee, the Money Market Master Portfolios in which they invest do charge an investment advisory fee. Income distributions from the GMMF, IMMF, PMMF and TMMF are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the Fund from temporary cash investments are recorded as interest from affiliated issuers in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Income distributions earned by the Fund from the investment of securities lending collateral, if any, are included in securities lending income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the six months ended January 31, 2009, aggregated $7,029,418,684 and $3,718,735,358, respectively.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation of the securities involved in the Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street, the administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The risks to the Fund of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities

when due. Any securities lending cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BGFA; such reinvestments are subject to investment risk.

As of January 31, 2009, the Fund had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BGFA. The market value of the securities on loan as of January 31, 2009 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to BGI as securities lending agent.
