Dear
Shareholder,
The
12-month
reporting
period
as
of
December
31,
2020
has
been
a
time
of
sudden
change
in
global
financial
markets,
as
the
emergence
and
spread
of
the
coronavirus
(or
“COVID-19”)
led
to
a
vast
disruption
in
the
global
economy
and
financial
markets.
The
threat
from
the
coronavirus
became
increasingly
apparent
throughout
February
and
March
2020,
and
countries
around
the
world
took
economically
disruptive
countermeasures.
Stay-
at-home
orders
and
closures
of
non-essential
businesses
became
widespread,
many
workers
were
laid
off,
and
unemployment
claims
spiked,
causing
a
global
recession
and
a
sharp
fall
in
equity
prices.
After
markets
hit
their
lowest
point
of
the
reporting
period
in
late
March
2020,
a
steady
recovery
ensued,
as
businesses
began
to
re-open
and
governments
learned
to
adapt
to
life
with
the
virus.
Equity
prices
continued
to
rise
throughout
the
summer,
fed
by
strong
fiscal
and
monetary
support
and
improving
economic
indicators.
Many
equity
indices
neared
or
surpassed
all-time
highs
late
in
the
reporting
period
following
a
series
of
successful
vaccine
trials
and
passage
of
additional
stimulus.
In
the
United
States,
both
large-
and
small-capitalization
stocks
posted
a
significant
advance.
International
equities
from
developed
economies
grew
at
a
more
modest
pace,
lagging
emerging
market
stocks,
which
rebounded
sharply.
During
the
market
downturn,
the
performance
of
different
types
of
fixed-income
securities
initially
diverged
due
to
a
reduced
investor
appetite
for
risk.
U.S.
Treasuries
benefited
from
the
risk-off
environment,
and
posted
solid
returns,
as
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
(which
is
inversely
related
to
bond
prices)
touched
an
all-time
low.
In
the
corporate
bond
market,
support
from
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”)
assuaged
credit
concerns
and
both
investment-grade
and
high-yield
bonds
recovered
to
post
positive
returns.
Following
the
coronavirus
outbreak,
the
Fed
instituted
two
emergency
interest
rate
cuts,
pushing
short-
term
interest
rates,
already
low
as
the
year
began,
close
to
zero.
To
stabilize
credit
markets,
the
Fed
also
implemented
a
new
bond-buying
program,
as
did
several
other
central
banks
around
the
world,
including
the
European
Central
Bank
and
the
Bank
of
Japan.
Looking
ahead,
while
coronavirus-related
disruptions
have
clearly
hindered
worldwide
economic
growth,
we
believe
that
the
global
expansion
is
likely
to
accelerate
as
vaccination
efforts
get
under
way.
The
results
of
the
U.S.
elections
also
cleared
the
way
for
additional
stimulus
spending
in
2021,
which
is
likely
to
be
a
solid
tailwind
for
economic
growth.
Inflation
should
increase
as
the
expansion
continues,
but
a
shift
in
central
bank
policy
means
that
moderate
inflation
is
less
likely
to
be
followed
by
interest
rate
hikes
that
could
threaten
the
equity
expansion.
Overall,
we
favor
a
positive
stance
toward
risk,
with
an
overweight
in
both
equities
and
credit.
We
see
U.S.
and
Asian
equities
benefiting
from
structural
growth
trends
in
tech,
while
emerging
markets
should
be
particularly
helped
by
a
vaccine-led
economic
expansion.
In
credit,
rising
inflation
should
provide
tailwinds
for
inflation-
protected
bonds,
and
Euro
area
peripherals
and
Asian
bonds
also
provide
attractive
opportunities.
We
believe
that
international
diversification
and
a
focus
on
sustainability
can
help
provide
portfolio
resilience,
and
the
disruption
created
by
the
coronavirus
appears
to
be
accelerating
the
shift
toward
sustainable
investments.
In
this
environment,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
extend
their
scope
across
a
broad
array
of
asset
classes,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.
We
encourage
you
to

with
your
financial
advisor
and

about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
underperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Russell
1000
®
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund
underperformed
amid
a
highly
volatile
market
backdrop
during
the
period.
Broad
economic
shutdowns
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
mitigate
coronavirus
spread
led
to
the
worst
first
quarter
on
record
for
U.S.
stocks
as
investors
weighed
the
impact
on
growth
and
unemployment.
Subsequently,
the
easing
of
lockdown
restrictions,
ongoing
loose
monetary
policy
from
the
Fed
and
improving
prospects
for
a
COVID-19
vaccine
led
equities
higher.
U.S.
equities
not
only
completed
a
remarkable
recovery
from
the
March
selloff
but
set
new
all-time
highs
to
end
the
year.
However,
the
move
higher
was
accompanied
by
historic
rotations
of
market
leadership.
Markets
were
boosted
following
strong
efficacy
data
from
vaccine
developers
in
November
2020.
Momentum
styles
experienced
their
sharpest
drawdown
since
the
global
financial
crisis,
as
investors
shifted
to
cyclical
exposures
amid
the
rotation
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2020.
While
displaying
strong
outperformance
in
the
first
half
of
the
year,
the
Fund
lagged
amid
the
shifting
market
backdrop
seen
in
the
second
half.
Underperformance
was
concentrated
near
the
end
of
the
period,
driven
by
weak
performance
across
trend-based
sentiment
measures
that
struggled
during
the
market
rotation
caused
by
positive
vaccine
news.
Insights
designed
to
machine
read
text
to
evaluate
fundamental
trends
underperformed
as
investors
focused
on
macro
events
instead
of
stock
specific
fundamentals.
Other
insights
that
evaluate
conference
call
text
similarly
failed
to
keep
pace.
The
underperformance
across
trend
measures
broadened
in
November,
driven
by
the
sharp
rotation
away
from
momentum
styles.
Despite
the
challenging
performance
after
vaccine
news
in
November,
performance
for
the
generic
momentum
style
was
strong
for
the
full
period.
As
a
result,
a
style-timing
insight
that
took
a
more
conservative
view
toward
momentum
weighed
on
performance
for
the
year.
As
investors
favored
contrarian
parts
of
the
market,
insights
that
were
positioned
for
sustained
market
leadership
weighed
on
the
Fund’s
return.
Surprisingly,
insights
that
capture
traditional
valuation
metrics,
such
as
comparing
valuation
across
sales,
underperformed.
Select
sentiment
insights
that
capture
COVID-19
related
trends,
specifically
those
that
evaluate
work-from-home
indicators,
also
detracted
late
in
the
period
amid
the
broader
re-opening
trend
and
as
several
employers
made
forward-looking
comments
concerning
the
desire
for
employees
to
return
to
the
office.
On
the
positive
side,
although
trend-based
sentiment
measures
faltered
near
the
end
of
2020,
faster
moving
sentiment
measures
constructed
from
alternative
data
were
able
to
correctly
position
the
portfolio
throughout
the
COVID-19
crisis
witnessed
earlier
in
the
period.
Insights
that
captured
firms
likely
to
benefit
during
the
recovery
were
most
additive,
including
those
evaluating
how
companies
were
navigating
fast
changing
consumer
habits
and
the
emergence
from
lockdown
by
looking
at
supply
chain
linkages
and
mobile
app
usage.
The
real
time
nature
of
such
measures
was
helpful
in
evaluating
the
quickly
evolving
marketplace.
Other
sentiment-based
measures
that
look
to
bond
data
and
non-obvious
news
were
also
additive.
Nontraditional
measures
of
quality,
such
as
insights
related
to
environmental,
social
and
governance
(“ESG”)
factors,
were
also
able
to
provide
much
needed
ballast.
Specifically,
an
insight
that
looks
to
capture
investor
flows
into
ESG-related
positions
was
one
of
the
best
performing
insights
as
it
was
able
to
follow
the
broader
sustainability
market
trend.
Traditional
quality
insights,
such
as
balance
sheet
strength,
also
aided
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
Over
the
course
of
the
period,
the
portfolio
maintained
a
balanced
allocation
of
risk
across
all
major
return
drivers.
However,
a
number
of
new
stock
selection
insights
were
added
to
the
portfolio.
Given
the
dynamism
of
the
current
environment,
the
Fund
instituted
enhanced
signal
constructs
to
best
identify
emerging
trends
due
to
COVID-19,
such
as
“work
from
home”
and
vaccine
development.
A
new
alternative
data-driven
insight
that
looks
to
capture
brand
sentiment
from
consumers
was
also
added.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
Relative
to
the
Russell
1000
©
Index,
the
Fund
was
positioned
essentially
neutrally
from
a
sector
perspective.
The
Fund
had
slight
overweight
positions
in
the
information
technology
and
utility
sectors
and
slight
underweight
positions
in
consumer
discretionary
and
materials.

How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
returned
15.75%,
underperforming
its
blended
benchmark
(60%
Russell
1000
®
Index/40%
Bloomberg
Barclays
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index),
which
returned
16.29%
for
the
period.
The
Russell
1000
®
Index
returned
20.96%,
and
the
Bloomberg
Barclays
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
returned
7.51%.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
From
an
asset
allocation
perspective,
an
underweight
to
U.S.
duration
(and
corresponding
interest
rate
sensitivity)
detracted
from
returns
in
the
first
quarter
of
2020
as
the
Fed
cut
its
policy
rate
to
zero
and
implemented
a
broad-based
bond
purchase
program
to
alleviate
the
funding
stress
and
market
volatility
that
occurred
following
the
COVID-19
outbreak.
Within
the
equity
allocation,
the
portfolio
underperformed
for
the
12
months
amid
a
highly
volatile
market
backdrop,
despite
performing
well
during
the
first
half
of
the
year.
Underperformance
was
concentrated
near
the
end
of
the
period,
with
performance
across
trend-based
sentiment
measures
driving
weakness.
These
insights
struggled
during
the
market
rotation
caused
by
positive
vaccine
news.
Insights
designed
to
machine
read
text
in
seeking
to
evaluate
fundamental
trends
underperformed
as
investors
focused
on
macro
events
instead
of
stock-specific
fundamentals.
Other
insights
that
evaluate
conference
call
text
similarly
struggled.
Meanwhile,
in
the
fixed
income
allocation,
the
portfolio’s
positioning
in
municipal
bonds
and
structured
products
detracted
from
the
Fund’s
return.
On
the
positive
side,
from
an
asset
allocation
perspective,
an
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
added
value
following
the
market
sell-off
in
March
2020
as
risk
assets
rebounded
on
the
back
of
substantial
monetary
and
fiscal
stimulus,
as
well
as
signs
of
recovery
as
many
countries
started
to
reopen
economies.
An
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
implemented
in
October
and
early
November
2020
also
boosted
the
Fund’s
return.
Within
the
equity
allocation,
faster-moving
sentiment
measures
constructed
from
alternative
data
were
able
to
correctly
position
the
portfolio
throughout
the
COVID-19
crisis.
Insights
which
captured
firms
likely
to
benefit
during
the
recovery
were
most
additive.
Nontraditional
measures
of
quality,
such
as
insights
related
to
environmental,
social
and
governance
factors,
were
also
able
to
provide
much
needed
ballast.
In
the
fixed
income
allocation,
the
portfolio’s
overweight
to
investment
grade
and
high
yield
corporate
credit
added
to
relative
performance.
The
Fund
at
times
had
a
slightly
elevated
exposure
to
cash
as
collateral
for
its
derivatives
positions.
The
Fund’s
cash
position
had
no
material
impact
on
Fund
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
Fund
entered
the
year
with
an
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
and
an
underweight
to
U.S.
duration,
albeit
at
low
active
risk
levels.
In
early
February
2020,
as
the
macro
outlook
improved,
pro-cyclical
positioning
was
increased
by
adding
to
the
overweight
equity
and
underweight
duration
positions.
This
stance
was
based
on
the
view
that
steady
consumption
and
stronger-than-appreciated
inflationary
dynamics
in
the
United
States
and
Europe
were
likely
to
intersect
with
an
increase
in
manufacturing
activity.
However,
as
the
COVID-19
outbreak
spread
beyond
China
and
equity
markets
sold
off
the
Fund
took
that
as
an
opportunity
to
increase
the
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
and
close
the
underweight
to
duration.
Subsequently,
in
April
and
May
2020,
the
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
was
reduced
and
an
overweight
to
U.S.
duration
was
added.
Given
the
recovery
in
global
growth
and
firming
inflation
during
the
second
half
of
the
year,
the
environment
appeared
more
favorable
for
equities
and
less
favorable
for
bonds.
As
such,
in
August
2020,
the
Fund
removed
its
overweight
to
U.S.
duration.
The
overweight
to
U.S.
equities
was
increased
in
October
and
early
November
2020.
Given
November’s
strong
equity
rally,
the
U.S
equity
overweight
was
trimmed
toward
the
end
of
the
period.
In
the
equity
allocation,
the
Fund
maintained
a
balanced
allocation
of
risk
across
all
major
return
drivers.
However,
several
new
stock
selection
insights
were
added
to
the
portfolio.
Given
the
dynamism
of
the
current
environment,
the
Fund
instituted
enhanced
signal
constructs
to
best
identify
emerging
trends
due
to
COVID,
such
as
“work
from
home”
and
vaccine
development.
Additionally,
a
new
alternative
data-driven
insight
that
looks
to
capture
brand
sentiment
from
consumers
was
added.
Within
the
fixed
income
allocation,
the
Fund
started
the
year
with
an
overweight
position
in
agency
mortgage-backed
securities
(“MBS”),
which
it
removed
on
pricing
strength
in
mid-February
2020.
Later
in
March
2020,
the
portfolio
moved
back
to
an
overweight
position
in
agency
MBS
as
spreads
widened.
The
Fund
also
added
to
its
overweight
positions
across
emerging
market
debt,
European
sovereign
debt
and
non-agency
MBS.
In
the
fourth
quarter
of
2020,
the
portfolio
reduced
its
exposure
to
U.S.
investment
grade
corporate
debt
and
municipal
bonds
and
started
to
move
down
the
capital
structure,
where
it
favored
select
segments
of
the
structured
product
market.
In
addition,
the
portfolio
opportunistically
increased
its
emerging
market
debt
exposure
and
maintained
a
modest
allocation
to
U.S.
high
yield
corporate
credit
given
better
economic
data
and
positive
vaccine
headlines.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund
ended
the
period
with
a
constructive
view
on
U.S.
equities
given
the
recovery
in
global
growth
and
firming
in
inflation
data
more
recently.

Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Russell
1000
®
Growth
Index,
and
the
broad
market
S&P
500
®
Index.
The
following
discussion
of
relative
performance
pertains
to
the
Russell
1000
®
Growth
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
largest
contributors
to
the
Fund`s
relative
performance
over
the
period
were
stock
selection
in
the
communication
services
sector
and
positioning
in
consumer
staples
and
consumer
discretionary.
In
communication
services,
selection
in
interactive
media
&
services,
specifically
an
out-of-benchmark
position
in
Snap,
Inc.,
drove
relative
performance.
Selective
positioning
across
consumer
staples
sub-sectors
also
added
to
relative
results.
Lastly,
an
overweight
to
the
consumer
discretionary
sector
proved
advantageous,
notably
to
the
internet
&
direct
marketing
retail
sub-sector
with
an
out-of-benchmark
position
in
Argentine
e-commerce
company
MercadoLibre,
Inc.
and
overweight
to
e-commerce
and
cloud
computing
company
Amazon.com,
Inc.
The
largest
detractors
from
relative
performance
were
selection
within
information
technology
(“IT”)
and
health
care
as
well
as
positioning
in
financials.
Within
IT,
a
substantial
underweight
to
technology,
hardware,
storage
&
peripherals,
specifically
an
underweight
to
Apple,
Inc.,
detracted
from
relative
performance.
Within
health
care,
selection
in
the
health
care
equipment
&
supplies
sub-sector,
most
notably
an
overweight
to
Boston
Scientific
Corp.,
detracted
from
relative
performance.
Within
financials,
an
out-of-
benchmark
position
in
CME
Group,
Inc.
in
capital
markets
was
the
biggest
constraint
on
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
IT
increased
with
an
allocation
to
semiconductors
&
semiconductor
equipment.
Exposure
to
the
consumer
discretionary
sector
was
increased
as
well.
Conversely,
exposure
to
health
care
decreased
the
most
as
the
investment
adviser
trimmed
within
health
care
equipment
&
supplies.
Exposure
to
the
industrials
sector
was
also
decreased.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
As
of
period
end,
the
Fund’s
largest
overweight
position
relative
to
the
Russell
1000
®
Growth
Index
was
in
the
consumer
discretionary
sector,
followed
by
materials
and
communication
services.
Conversely,
the
consumer
staples
sector
was
the
largest
underweight,
followed
by
health
care
and
energy.

Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
reference
benchmark,
which
is
comprised
of
the
S&P
500
®
Index
(36%),
FTSE
World
(ex-
U.S.)
Index
(24%),
ICE
BofA
Current
5-Year
U.S.
Treasury
Index
(24%)
and
FTSE
Non-U.S.
Dollar
World
Government
Bond
Index
(16%)
(the
“Reference
Benchmark”),
and
outperformed
the
broad-based
all-equity
benchmark,
the
FTSE
World
Index.
The
Fund
invests
in
both
equities
and
bonds;
therefore,
Fund
management
believes
that
the
Reference
Benchmark
provides
a
more
accurate
representation
of
the
Fund’s
composition
and
a
more
comparable
means
for
measurement.
The
following
discussion
of
relative
performance
pertains
to
the
Reference
Benchmark.
The
following
commentary
(and
referenced
allocation
percentages)
are
based
on
the
economic
exposures
of
the
Fund,
which
reflect
adjustments
for
futures,
swaps
and
options
(except
with
respect
to
fixed
income
securities)
and
convertible
bonds,
and
may
vary
relative
to
the
market
value.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
Within
equities,
stock
selection
within
a
number
of
sectors,
notably
information
technology
(“IT”)
and
consumer
discretionary,
contributed
to
performance.
Sector
positioning
was
additive,
primarily
driven
by
underweights
to
financials,
energy
and
consumer
staples,
and
overweights
to
IT
and
consumer
discretionary.
Within
fixed
income,
positioning
at
the
long
end
of
the
yield
curve
and
exposure
to
U.S.
corporate
credit
positively
impacted
returns.
Exposure
to
gold-related
securities
also
contributed
to
performance.
Within
equities,
security
selection
within
industrials,
materials
and
financials
detracted
from
performance.
Exposure
to
cash
and
cash
equivalents
negatively
impacted
returns
as
well.
In
addition,
currency
management,
notably
an
underweight
to
the
Australian
dollar
and
overweight
to
the
U.S.
dollar,
weighed
on
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
overall
equity
allocation
increased
slightly
from
67%
to
68%
of
net
assets.
Within
equities,
the
Fund
increased
exposure
to
Europe
and
decreased
exposure
to
Japan
and
the
United
States.
From
a
sector
perspective,
the
Fund
increased
exposure
to
IT,
consumer
discretionary
and
materials,
and
decreased
exposure
to
financials,
consumer
staples,
energy
and
communication
services.
The
Fund’s
allocation
to
fixed
income
decreased
from
27%
to
24%
of
net
assets.
Within
fixed
income,
the
Fund
decreased
exposure
to
developed
market
government
bonds
and
securitized
debt,
and
increased
exposure
to
corporate
credit.
From
the
standpoint
of
duration
and
corresponding
interest
rate
sensitivity,
overall
portfolio
duration
was
tactically
managed
over
the
period
and
ended
the
period
at
1.9
years,
up
from
1.5
years
at
the
beginning
of
the
period.
The
Fund’s
allocation
to
commodity-related
securities
decreased
slightly
from
2%
to
1%
of
net
assets.
Reflecting
the
changes
in
the
Fund’s
overall
allocations
to
the
equity,
fixed
income
and
commodity-related
asset
classes
during
the
period,
the
Fund’s
cash
equivalents
increased
from
4%
to
7%
of
net
assets.
During
the
12-month
period,
cash
helped
mitigate
portfolio
volatility
and
served
as
a
source
of
funds
for
new
investments
and
redemptions.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
Relative
to
its
Reference
Benchmark,
the
Fund
was
overweight
in
equities
and
underweight
in
fixed
income,
with
modest
exposure
to
commodity-related
assets
and
an
overweight
to
cash
equivalents.
Within
equities,
the
Fund
was
overweight
in
the
United
States,
Europe
and
China,
and
underweight
in
Japan
and
Australia.
From
a
sector
perspective,
the
Fund
was
overweight
in
consumer
discretionary,
IT,
health
care,
materials,
industrials
and
communication
services,
and
underweight
in
consumer
staples,
financials
and
real
estate.
Within
fixed
income,
the
Fund
was
underweight
in
developed
market
government
bonds
and
overweight
in
corporate
credit
and
securitized
debt.
From
a
duration
perspective,
overall
portfolio
duration
was
1.9
years
versus
a
benchmark
duration
of
2.8
years
(total
portfolio
duration
assumes
equity
duration
of
0).
From
a
currency
perspective,
the
Fund
was
overweight
in
the
euro,
underweight
in
the
Australian
dollar
and
neutrally
positioned
toward
the
U.S.
dollar.

Market
Overview
For
the
12-Month
Period
Ended
December
31,
2020
2020
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
16
BlackRock
Government
Money
Market
Portfolio
Entering
2020,
the
economy
was
in
a
good
place
and
interest
rate
policy
was
appropriate
according
to
the
Fed.
However,
this
outlook
quickly
changed
upon
the
imposition
of
dramatic
measures
taken
by
authorities
around
the
world
to
stem
the
spread
of
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
In
response,
the
Fed
quickly
enacted
a
series
of
unprecedented
measures
to
channel
credit
to
businesses
and
households
and
smooth
market
functioning.
In
an
unprecedented
move,
the
Fed
issued
two
“emergency”
rate
cuts
in
March,
ultimately
reducing
the
Federal
Funds
target
rate
range
from
1.50%-1.75%
to
0.00%-0.25%.
This
range
was
consistent
through
the
remainder
of
2020
and
reinforced
by
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell’s
comments
that
“we
are
not
even
thinking
about
thinking
about
raising
interest
rates”
later
in
the
year.
In
a
nod
to
2008,
the
Fed
also
revived
the
following
programs
and
facilities:
the
Commercial
Paper
Funding
Facility
to
backstop
the
purchase
of
high-quality
commercial
paper
from
U.S.
issuers;
the
Primary
Dealer
Credit
Facility
to
provide
low
cost
funding
against
a
broad
range
of
collateral
including
commercial
paper;
and
the
Term
Asset-
Backed
Securities
Loan
Facility
to
purchase
asset-backed
securities.
Other
notable
actions
included
the
creation
of
new
facilities
to
purchase
investment
grade
corporate
debt
through
the
Primary
Market
Corporate
Credit
Facility
and
Secondary
Market
Corporate
Credit
Facility.
The
Fed
also
introduced
a
few
additional
programs
such
as
the
Money
Market
Mutual
Fund
Liquidity
Facility
to
purchase
commercial
paper
and
domestic
and
Yankee
certificates
of
deposit
from
prime
money
market
funds,
and
municipal
debt
and
variable
rate
demand
notes
from
municipal
money
market
funds.
Complementing
the
Fed’s
sweeping
measures,
a
$2.2
trillion
fiscal
aid
package
was
signed
into
law
by
President
Donald
Trump
along
with
a
series
of
coordinated
global
fiscal
and
monetary
actions.
As
a
result
of
this
substantial
fiscal
deal,
U.S.
Treasury
bill
supply
dramatically
increased
and
remained
robust
until
the
second
half
of
the
year
when
supply
contracted
over
$150
billion
and
became
a
challenge
for
front-end
investors.
The
three-month
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
("LIBOR")
overnight
indexed
swap
(“LIBOR-OIS”)
spread
a
gauge
of
stress
in
the
financial
system
increased
from
a
low
of
about
12
basis
points
(0.12%)
in
February
2020
to
around
132
basis
points
(1.32%)
at
the
end
of
the
March
2020.
The
blow
out
of
this
spread
signaled
stress
in
the
markets
and
the
unwillingness
of
market
makers
to
take
on
risk
and
provide
liquidity.
Because
of
the
uncertainty
introduced
by
COVID-19,
there
was
an
increased
demand
for
liquidity
across
markets,
or
a
“flight
to
quality,”
resulting
in
a
significant
premium
for
front-end
liquidity.
U.S.
Treasury
bills
traded
in
the
secondary
market
with
a
negative
yield
at
the
end
of
March,
highlighting
this
demand.
As
investors
sought
liquidity,
assets
of
money
market
mutual
funds
rose
to
an
all-time
high
of
$4.2
trillion
during
the
first
half
of
the
year,
most
of
which
entered
U.S.
government
funds.
After
the
volatility
in
March
2020,
the
market
began
to
find
its
footing
and
asset
valuations
ticked
higher.
Normalization
would
continue
for
the
remainder
of
the
year
as
spreads
were
seen
to
significantly
compress.
In
the
summer
of
2020,
Fed
Chair
Powell
released
a
series
of
statements
pertaining
to
the
long-term
recovery
and
monetary
policies.
Powell
noted
that
the
Fed
will
tolerate
the
economy
“running
hot”
for
quite
some
time
before
any
monetary
tools
are
scaled
back,
and
the
Fed’s
stance
on
inflation
was
revised
to
tolerate
a
booming
economy
that
fosters
an
increase
in
prices
of
goods
and
services.
In
summary,
the
Fed
will
remain
extremely
accommodative
over
the
next
few
years
and
is
looking
to
achieve
an
inflation
that
is
moderately
above
2%
for
“quite
some
time.”
After
several
days
of
counting
mail-in
ballots,
the
unprecedented
2020
presidential
election
was
concluded,
and
former
Vice
President
and
Senator
Joe
Biden
was
announced
the
winner.
The
makeup
of
the
Senate,
however,
remained
uncertain
at
year
end
as
the
country
awaited
the
results
from
the
Georgia
run-off
races
held
January
5,
2021.
The
uncertain
implications
of
this
race
weighed
heavily
on
the
front-end
and
rates
space
at
year
end.
The
three-month
LIBOR
set
a
record
low
of
under
0.21%
on
November
20,
2020.
The
three-month
LIBOR-OIS
spread
trended
slightly
above
its
low
point
of
0.12%
for
the
past
12
months
and
finished
the
fourth
quarter
of
2020
at
0.16%,
despite
the
blow
out
earlier
in
the
year.
In
general,
we
expect
limited
commercial
paper
supply
will
keep
spreads
largely
contained
in
the
near
term.
Excess
reserves
in
the
banking
system
remain
plentiful,
and
are
likely
to
increase,
in
our
view,
in
the
months
ahead
as
a
result
of
continuing
asset
purchases
by
the
Fed
along
with
the
expected
reduction
in
the
Treasury
General
Account.
We
thus
believe
yields
on
U.S.
treasury
bills
and
repurchase
agreements
could
be
pressured
lower
in
2021.

Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Bloomberg
Barclays
U.S.
Corporate
High
Yield
2%
Issuer
Capped
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
High-yield
bonds
delivered
strong
returns
in
2020.
Although
the
market
fell
sharply
in
the
first
quarter
of
2020
due
to
the
emergence
of
COVID-19,
the
Fed
responded
by
cutting
short-term
interest
rates
to
zero
and
pledging
to
support
the
corporate
bond
market
through
direct
purchases.
The
high-yield
market
rebounded
quickly
in
response,
and
the
rally
carried
through
until
year
end
due
to
the
combination
of
better-than-expected
economic
growth
and
the
approval
of
a
coronavirus
vaccine
in
November
2020.
Security
selection
in
the
oil
field
services,
technology
and
wireline
telecommunications
sectors
positively
contributed
to
Fund
performance.
The
Fund’s
overweight
allocation
to
BBB-rated
issues
was
additive,
as
was
security
selection
in
CCC-rated
bonds.
A
tactical
weighting
in
investment-grade
corporate
bonds
was
also
an
important
driver
of
performance.
A
position
in
floating
rate
loan
interests
made
a
modest
contribution
as
well.
An
underweight
allocation
to
the
independent
energy
and
automotive
sectors
detracted
from
Fund
performance,
as
did
security
selection
in
the
packaging
sector.
An
underweight
position
in
BB
rated
securities
also
weighed
on
results.
The
Fund
used
derivatives
(including
credit
default
swaps
and
total
return
swaps)
to
manage
its
positioning.
This
aspect
of
its
strategy
was
a
minor
detractor
from
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
Fund
increased
its
allocations
to
the
independent
energy,
wireline
telecommunications
and
midstream
sectors,
while
reducing
its
weightings
in
the
packaging,
wireless
telecommunications
and
cable/satellite
sectors.
The
Fund
tactically
increased
its
position
in
investment-grade
securities,
primarily
new
issues
that
came
to
the
market
at
attractive
valuations
in
the
second
quarter
of
2020.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund’s
broad
portfolio
strategy
was
relatively
stable.
The
investment
adviser’s
decision
to
increase
the
allocation
to
investment-grade
bonds
was
the
most
notable
shift.
This
position,
which
reached
a
peak
of
nearly
11%
of
assets
in
the
second
quarter,
stood
at
8%
as
of
year
end.
From
a
credit
quality
perspective,
the
Fund
was
underweight
in
BB-rated
debt
and
overweight
in
select
CCCs.
With
that
said,
the
Fund
maintained
an
underweight
in
the
highest-yielding
portion
of
the
market
with
the
largest
concentration
of
distressed
assets.
The
Fund’s
major
sector
positioning
themes
remained
consistent,
with
the
leading
overweight
positions
in
technology,
cable/satellite
and
banking.
The
Fund
was
underweight
in
consumer
cyclicals,
particularly
in
the
retail
and
automotive
industries.
The
Fund
was
also
underweight
in
the
food/beverage
and
media/entertainment
categories.

Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Bloomberg
Barclays
U.S.
Government/Mortgage
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
Positive
contributors
to
the
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
the
benchmark
included
strategies
and
selection
within
30-year
agency
mortgage-backed
securities
(“MBS”).
The
Fund’s
stance
with
respect
to
U.S.
and
global
interest
rates
also
aided
its
return,
specifically,
an
above-benchmark
stance
with
respect
to
duration
(and
corresponding
interest
rate
sensitivity)
as
U.S.
Treasury
yields
declined
sharply
during
the
period.
The
largest
detractors
from
the
Fund's
performance
relative
to
the
benchmark
were
interest
rate
volatility
strategies
and
active
positioning
across
global
currencies.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
During
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund
shifted
from
a
modest
overweight
in
duration
relative
to
the
benchmark
to
an
underweight.
Within
agency
MBS,
the
Fund
shifted
into
current
lower
coupon
pools
that
are
being
purchased
by
the
Fed.
With
respect
to
global
interest
rates,
the
Fund
moved
to
underweight
core
European
duration.
The
Fund
had
a
modestly
elevated
cash
position
at
period
end
due
to
the
investment
adviser’s
increasing
preference
for
using
forward
contracts
to
gain
MBS
exposure
as
opposed
to
holding
cash
bonds.
The
Fund’s
cash
position
did
not
have
any
material
impact
on
performance
over
the
12
months.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
At
period
end,
the
Fund’s
positioning
reflected
the
view
that
longer-term
U.S.
Treasury
yields
were
likely
to
move
higher
with
an
improving
economy
and
the
prospect
of
additional
fiscal
stimulus.
Within
agency
MBS,
the
Fund
maintained
a
preference
for
lower
coupon
pools
benefiting
from
Fed
support.
Within
global
interest
rate
and
currency
strategies,
the
Fund
maintained
small
positions
in
select
European
peripheral
economies
and
Asian
emerging
market
sovereign
issues
in
countries
such
as
China
and
Indonesia.

The
Benefits
and
Risks
of
Leveraging
2020
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
24
The
Funds
may
utilize
leverage
to
seek
to
enhance
returns
and
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
However,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
these
objectives
can
be
achieved
in
all
interest
rate
environments.  
The
Funds
may
utilize
leverage
by
entering
into
reverse
repurchase
agreements. 
In
general,
the
concept
of
leveraging
is
based
on
the
premise
that
the
financing
cost
of
leverage,
which
is
based
on
short-term
interest
rates,
is
normally
lower
than
the
income
earned
by
each
Fund
on
its
longer-term
portfolio
investments
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage.
To
the
extent
that
the
total
assets
of
each
Fund
(including
the
assets
obtained
from
leverage)
are
invested
in
higher-yielding
portfolio
investments, each
Fund's
shareholders
benefit
from
the
incremental
net
income.
The
interest
earned
on
securities
purchased
with
the
proceeds
from
leverage
is
distributed
to each
Fund's
shareholders,
and
the
value
of
these
portfolio
holdings
is
reflected
in each
Fund's
per
share
NAV.
However,
in
order
to
benefit
shareholders,
the
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds
must
exceed
the
ongoing
costs
associated
with
the
leverage.
If
interest
and
other
ongoing
costs
of
leverage
exceed
a
Fund’s
return
on
assets
purchased
with
leverage
proceeds,
income
to
shareholders
is
lower
than
if
the
Funds
had
not
used
leverage.
Furthermore,
the
value
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
investments
generally
varies
inversely
with
the
direction
of
long-term
interest
rates,
although
other
factors
can
also
influence
the
value
of
portfolio
investments.
As
a
result,
changes
in
interest
rates
can
influence
each
Fund’s
NAV
positively
or
negatively
in
addition
to
the
impact
on
each
Fund’s
performance
from
leverage.
Changes
in
the
direction
of
interest
rates
are
difficult
to
predict
accurately,
and
there
is
no
assurance
that
a
Fund’s
leveraging
strategy
will
be
successful.
The
use
of
leverage
also
generally
causes
greater
changes
in
each
Fund’s
NAV
and
dividend
rates
than
comparable
portfolios
without
leverage.
In
a
declining
market,
leverage
is
likely
to
cause
a
greater
decline
in
the
NAV
of
a
Fund’s
shares
than
if
the
Fund
were
not
leveraged.
In
addition,
each
Fund
may
be
required
to
sell
portfolio
securities
at
inopportune
times
or
at
distressed
values
in
order
to
comply
with
regulatory
requirements
applicable
to
the
use
of
leverage
or
as
required
by
the
terms
of
the
leverage
instruments,
which
may
cause
the
Fund
to
incur
losses.
The
use
of
leverage
may
limit
a
Fund’s
ability
to
invest
in
certain
types
of
securities
or
use
certain
types
of
hedging
strategies.
Each
Fund
incurs
expenses
in
connection
with
the
use
of
leverage,
all
of
which
are
borne
by
each
Fund’s
shareholders
and
may
reduce
income.
Disclosure
of
Expenses 
Shareholders
of
each
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(a)
transactional
expenses;
and
(b)
operating
expenses,
including
investment
advisory
fees, service
and
distribution
fees, and
other
fund
expenses.
The
expense
examples
on
the
previous
pages
(which are
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
on July
1,
2020 and
held
through
December
31,
2020) are
intended
to
assist
shareholders
both
in
calculating
expenses
based
on
an
investment
in each
Fund
and
in
comparing
these
expenses
with
similar
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
expense
examples
provide
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
In
order
to
estimate
the
expenses
a
shareholder
paid
during
the
period
covered
by
this
report,
shareholders
can
divide
their
account
value
by
$1,000
and
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
corresponding
to
their
Fund
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the
Period.” 
The
expense
examples
also
provide
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
a
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses.
In
order
to
assist
shareholders
in
comparing
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
these
Funds
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds. 
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
examples
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges,
if
any.
Therefore,
the
hypothetical
examples
are
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
expenses
only,
and
will
not
help
shareholders
determine
the
relative
total
expenses
of
owning
different
funds.
If
these
transactional
expenses
were
included,
shareholder
expenses
would
have
been
higher.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Funds
may
invest
in
various
derivative
financial
instruments.
These
instruments
are
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security,
commodity,
index,
market,
and/or
other
assets
without
owning
or
taking
physical
custody
of
securities,
commodities
and/or
other
referenced
assets
or
to
manage
market,
equity,
credit,
interest
rate,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate,
commodity
and/or
other
risks.
Derivative
financial
instruments
may
give
rise
to
a
form
of
economic
leverage
and
involve
risks,
including
the
imperfect
correlation
between
the
value
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
and
the
underlying
asset,
possible
default
of
the
counterparty
to
the
transaction
or
illiquidity
of
the
instrument.
The
Funds’
successful
use
of
a
derivative
financial
instrument
depends
on
the
investment
adviser’s
ability
to
predict
pertinent
market
movements
accurately,
which
cannot
be
assured.
The
use
of
these
instruments
may
result
in
losses
greater
than
if
they
had
not
been
used,
may
limit
the
amount
of
appreciation
a
Fund
can
realize
on
an
investment
and/or
may
result
in
lower
distributions
paid
to
shareholders.
The
Funds’
investments
in
these
instruments,
if
any,
are
discussed
in
detail
in
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.

Basis
of
Consolidation:
The
accompanying
consolidated
financial
statements
of
Global
Allocation
 include
the
accounts
of
BlackRock
Cayman
Global
Allocation
Portfolio
I,
Ltd.
(the
“Subsidiary”),
which
is
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
Global
Allocation
 and
primarily
invests
in
commodity-related
instruments
and
other
derivatives
.
The
Subsidiary
enables 
Global
Allocation
to
hold
these
commodity-related
instruments
and
satisfy
regulated
investment
company
tax
requirements.
Global
Allocation
 may
invest
up
to
25%
of
its
total
assets
in
the
Subsidiary.
The
net
assets
of
the
Subsidiary
as
of
period
end
were
$6,860,083
,
which
is
3.4%
 of
Global
Allocation's
 consolidated
net
assets.
Intercompany
accounts
and
transactions,
if
any,
have
been
eliminated.
The
Subsidiary
is
subject
to
the
same
investment
policies
and
restrictions
that
apply
to 
Global
Allocation
,
except
that
the
Subsidiary
may
invest
without
limitation
in
commodity-related
instruments. 
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
in
the
financial
statements,
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
considered
an
investment
company
under
U.S.
GAAP
and
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
applicable
to
investment
companies.
Below
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies: 
Investment
Transactions
and
Income
Recognition:
 For
financial
reporting
purposes,
investment
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
dates
the
transactions
are
executed.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions
are
determined
using
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income and
capital
gain
distributions,
if
any,
are recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
at
fair
value. Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
date
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Funds
are
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
date.
Under
the
applicable
foreign
tax
laws,
a
withholding
tax
at
various
rates
may
be
imposed
on
capital
gains,
dividends
and
interest.
Upon
notification
from
issuers,
a
portion
of
the
dividend
income
received
from
a
real
estate
investment
trust
may
be
redesignated
as
a
reduction
of
cost
of
the
related
investment
and/or
realized
gain.
Interest
income,
including
amortization
and
accretion
of
premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities,
is
recognized
daily
on
an
accrual
basis.
For
convertible
securities,
premiums
attributable
to
the
debt
instrument
are
amortized,
but
premiums
attributable
to
the
conversion
feature
are
not
amortized.
Foreign
Currency
Translation:
Each
Fund’s
books
and
records
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”)
.
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
are
recorded
at
the
rates
of
exchange
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value. 
Each
Fund
does
not
isolate
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
the
effect
of
fluctuations
in
the
market
prices
of
investments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Accordingly,
the
effects
of
changes
in
exchange
rates
on
investments
are
not
segregated
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
from
the
effects
of
changes
in
market
prices
of
those
investments,
but
are
included
as
a
component
of
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
(loss)
from
investments.
Each
Fund
reports
realized
currency
gains
(losses)
on
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
net
realized
gain
(loss)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
generally
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes.
Foreign
Taxes:
Certain
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
on
income,
stock
dividends,
capital
gains
on
investments,
or
certain
foreign
currency
transactions.
All
foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions

each
Fund

These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
each
Fund
and
are
reflected
in
its
Statements
of
Operations
as
follows:
foreign
taxes
withheld
at
source
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
income,
foreign
taxes
on
securities
lending
income
are
presented
as
a
reduction
of
securities
lending
income,
foreign
taxes
on
stock
dividends
are
presented
as
“Foreign
taxes
withheld”,
and
foreign
taxes
on
capital
gains
from
sales
of
investments
and
foreign
taxes
on
foreign
currency
transactions
are
included
in
their
respective
net
realized
gain
(loss)
categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
December
31,
2020
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Segregation
and
Collateralization:
In
cases
where a
Fund
enters
into
certain
investments
(e.g.,
dollar
rolls,
TBA
sale
commitments,
futures
contracts,
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts,
options
written,
swaps
and
short
sales)
or
certain
borrowings
(e.g.,
reverse
repurchase
transactions)
that
would
be
treated
as
“senior
securities”
for
1940
Act
purposes, a
Fund
may
segregate
or
designate
on
its
books
and
records
cash
or
liquid
assets
having
a
market
value
at
least
equal
to
the
amount
of
its
future
obligations
under
such
investments
or
borrowings.
Doing
so
allows
the
investment
or
borrowings
to
be
excluded
from
treatment
as
a
“senior
security.” Furthermore,
if
required
by
an
exchange
or
counterparty
agreement,
the
Funds
may
be
required
to
deliver/deposit
cash
and/or
securities
to/with
an
exchange,
or
broker-dealer
or
custodian
as
collateral
for
certain
investments
or
obligations.  
Distributions: 
For
Government
Money
Market,
High
Yield
and
U.S.
Government
Bond, distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
daily
and
paid
monthly.
For
Advantage
Large
Cap
Core,
Balanced
Capital,
Capital
Appreciation
and
Global
Allocation,
distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
and
paid
at
least
annually.
For
each
Fund,
distributions
of
capital
gains
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
made
at
least
annually.
The
portion
of
distributions,
if
any,
that
exceeds
a
fund's
current
and
accumulated
earnings
and
profits,
as
measured
on
a
tax
basis,
constitute
a
non-taxable
return
of
capital. The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP
.  
Net
income
and
realized
gains
from
investments
held
by
the
Subsidiary
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
tax
purposes. If
a
net
loss
is
realized
by
the
Subsidiary
in
any
taxable
year,
the
loss
will
generally
not
be
available
to
offset
the
Global
Allocation’s
ordinary
income
and/or
capital
gains
for
that
year.  
Deferred
Compensation
Plan:
Under
the
Deferred
Compensation
Plan
(the
“Plan”)
approved
by
the
Board
of
Directors
of
Series
Fund
II
the
directors
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
of
the
Funds,
as
defined
in
the
1940
Act
(“Independent
Directors
”),
may
defer
a
portion
of
their
annual
complex-wide
compensation.
Deferred
amounts
earn
an
approximate
return
as
though
equivalent
dollar
amounts
had
been
invested
in
common
shares
of
certain
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex
selected
by
the
Independent
Directors
.
This
has
the
same
economic
effect
for
the
Independent 
Directors
as
if
the
Independent 
Directors
had
invested
the
deferred
amounts
directly
in
certain
funds
in
the
BlackRock
Fixed-Income
Complex.  
The
Plan
is
not
funded
and
obligations
thereunder
represent
general
unsecured
claims
against
the
general
assets
of
High
Yield
and
U.S.
Government
Bond,
as
applicable.
Deferred
compensation
liabilities,
if
any, are
included
in
the
Trustees’
and
Officer’s
fees
payable
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
will
remain
as
a
liability
of
the
Funds
until
such
amounts
are
distributed
in
accordance
with
the
Plan. 
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
a
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
A
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
a
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to a
Fund
are
charged
to
that
Fund.
Other
operating
expenses
shared
by
several
funds,
including
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
,
are
prorated
among
those
funds
on
the
basis
of
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
Global
Allocation
has
an
arrangement
with
its
custodian
whereby
credits
are
earned
on
uninvested
cash
balances,
which
could
be
used
to
reduce
custody
fees
and/or
overdraft
charges.
Global
Allocation
may
incur
charges
on overdrafts,
subject
to
certain
conditions.
INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 Each
Fund's
(except
Government
Money
Market) investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund
is
open
for
business
and,
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
as
of
the
report
date.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price a
fund would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date. Each
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
policies
approved
by
the
Boards
of Directors
of
the
Companies
(each,
a
"Board"
and
together,
the
“Boards”).
If
a
security’s
market
price
is
not
readily
available
or
does
not
otherwise
accurately
represent
the
fair
value
of
the
security,
the
security
will
be
valued
in
accordance
with
a
policy
approved
by each
Board
as
reflecting
fair
value.
The
BlackRock
Global
Valuation
Methodologies
Committee
(the
“Global
Valuation
Committee”)
is
the
committee
formed
by
management
to
develop
global
pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments.
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
Government
Money
Market
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
Government
Money
Market's
investments
are
valued
under
the
amortized
cost
method
which
approximates
current
market
value
in
accordance
with
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
Under
this
method,
investments
are
valued
at
cost
when
purchased
and,
thereafter,
a
constant
proportionate
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
are
recorded
until
the
maturity
of
the
security.
Government
Money
Market
seeks
to
maintain
its
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share
at
$1.00,
although
there
is
no
assurance
that
it
will
be
able
to
do
so
on
a
continuing
basis.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
each
Fund’s
(except
Government
Money
Market)
assets
and
liabilities: 
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
securities
exchange
are
valued
at
that
day's official
closing
price,
as
applicable,
on
the
exchange
where
the
stock
is
primarily
traded.
Equity
investments
traded
on
a
recognized
exchange
for
which
there
were
no
sales
on
that
day
may
be
valued
at
the
last
available
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.  
Generally,
trading
in
foreign
instruments
is
substantially
completed
each
day
at
various
times
prior
to
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE.
Occasionally,
events
affecting
the
values
of
such
instruments
may
occur
between
the
foreign
market
close
and
the
close
of
trading
on
the NYSE that
may
not
be
reflected
in
the
computation
of
the
Funds’
net
assets.
Each
business
day,
the
Funds
use
a
pricing
service
to
assist
with
the
valuation
of
certain
foreign
exchange-traded
equity
securities
and
foreign
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
159
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
exchange-traded
and
over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
options
(the
“Systematic
Fair
Value
Price”).
Using
current
market
factors,
the
Systematic
Fair
Value
Price
is
designed
to
value
such
foreign
securities
and
foreign
options
at
fair
value
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE,
which
follows
the
close
of
the
local
markets. 
Fixed-income investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
using
the
last
available
bid
price
or
current
market
quotations
provided
by
independent
dealers
or
third
party
pricing
services.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
bid
prices
from
one
or
more
independent
brokers
or
dealers
as
obtained
from
a
third
party
pricing
service.
Pricing
services
generally
value
fixed-income
securities
assuming
orderly
transactions
of
an
institutional
round
lot
size,
but
a
fund
may
hold
or
transact
in
such
securities
in
smaller,
odd
lot
sizes.
Odd
lots
may
trade
at
lower
prices
than
institutional
round
lots.
The
pricing
services
may
use
matrix
pricing
or
valuation
models
that
utilize
certain
inputs
and
assumptions
to
derive
values,
including
transaction
data
(e.g.,
recent
representative
bids
and
offers),
market
data, credit
quality
information,
perceived
market
movements,
news,
and
other
relevant
information.
Certain
fixed-income
securities,
including
asset-
backed
and
mortgage
related
securities
may
be
valued
based
on
valuation
models
that
consider
the
estimated
cash
flows
of
each
tranche
of
the
entity,
establish
a
benchmark
yield
and
develop
an
estimated
tranche
specific
spread
to
the
benchmark
yield
based
on
the
unique
attributes
of
the
tranche.
The
amortized
cost
method
of
valuation
may
be
used
with
respect
to
debt
obligations
with
sixty
days
or
less
remaining
to
maturity
unless
the
Manager
determines
such
method
does
not
represent
fair
value.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds) are
valued
at
that
day's
published NAV. 
The
Funds
value
their
investment
in
SL
Liquidity
Series,
LLC,
Money
Market
Series
(the
“Money
Market
Series”)
at
fair
value,
which
is
ordinarily
based
upon
their
pro
rata
ownership
in
the
underlying
fund’s
net
assets.
Futures
contracts
are valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded.
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
ask
prices
and
are
determined
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
NYSE
based
on
that
day’s
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate
for
the
underlying
currencies.
Exchange-traded
options
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
last bid
and
ask
prices
at
the
close
of
the
options
market in
which
the
options
trade.
An
exchange-traded
option
for
which there
is
no
mean
price
is
valued
at
the
last
bid
(long
positions)
or
ask
(short
positions)
price.
If

OTC

(“swaptions”)
are

by
an
independent

using
a
mathematical

which
incorporates
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
the

and
prices
of
the

Swap
agreements
are
valued
utilizing
quotes
received
daily
by
independent pricing
services
or
through
brokers,
which
are
derived
using
daily
swap

and
models
that
incorporate
a
number
of
market
data
factors,
such
as
discounted
cash

trades
and
values
of
the
underlying
reference
instruments. 
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
amortized
cost,
which
approximates
market
value. 
If
events
(e.g.,
a
market
closure,
market
volatility,
company
announcement
or
a
natural
disaster)
occur
that
are
expected
to
materially
affect
the
value
of
such
investment,
or
in
the
event
that
application
of
these
methods
of
valuation
results
in
a
price
for
an
investment
that
is
deemed
not
to
be
representative
of
the
market
value
of
such
investment,
or
if
a
price
is
not
available,
the
investment
will
be
valued
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee,
or
its
delegate,
in
accordance
with
a
policy
approved
by
the
Board
as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee
include
market
approach,
income
approach
and
cost
approach.
Valuation
techniques
such
as
discounted
cash
flow,
use
of
market
comparables
and
matrix
pricing
are
types
of
valuation
approaches
and
are
typically
used
in
determining
fair
value.
When
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments,
the
Global
Valuation
Committee,
or
its
delegate,
seeks
to
determine
the
price
that
each
Fund
might
reasonably
expect
to
receive
or
pay
from
the
current
sale
or
purchase
of
that
asset
or
liability
in
an
arm’s-length
transaction.
Fair
value
determinations
shall
be
based
upon
all
available
factors
that
the
Global
Valuation
Committee,
or
its
delegate,
deems
relevant
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement.
The
pricing
of
all
Fair
Valued
Investments
is
subsequently
reported
to
the
Board
or
a
committee
thereof
on
a
quarterly
basis.
For

issued
by
privately
held
companies
or
funds
(“Private

Fair
Valued

the
fair
valuation
approaches
that
are
used
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee
and
third
party
pricing
services
utilize
one
or
a
combination
of,
but
not

the
following
inputs.  
Investments
in
series
of
preferred
stock
issued
by
Private
Companies
are
typically
valued
utilizing
market
approach
in
determining
the
enterprise
value
of
the

often
contain

that
differ
from
other

stock
of
the

The
use
of
OPM
and
PWERM
techniques
involve
a
determination
of
the
exit
scenarios
of
the
investment
in
order
to
appropriately
allocate
the
enterprise
value
of
the
company
among
the
various
parts
of
its
capital
structure. 
The
Private
Companies
are
not
subject
to
the
public
company
disclosure,
timing,
and
reporting
standards
applicable
to other
investments
held
by
a
Fund.
Typically,
the
most
recently
available
information
by
a
Private
Company
is
as
of
a
date
that
is
earlier
than
the
date
a
Fund
is
calculating
its
NAV.
This
factor
may
result
in
a
difference
between
the
value
of
the
investment
and
the
price
a
Fund
could
receive
upon
the

of
the
investment. 
Fair
Value
Hierarchy:
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
These
inputs
to
valuation
techniques
are
categorized
into
a
fair
value
hierarchy
consisting
of
three
broad
levels
for
financial reporting purposes
as
follows: 
Level
1
Unadjusted
price
quotations
in
active
markets/exchanges
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
that
each
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks
and
default
rates)
or
other
market–corroborated
inputs);
and 
Level
3 —
Unobservable
inputs
based
on
the
best
information
available
in
the
circumstances,
to
the
extent
observable
inputs
are
not
available
(including
the
Global
Valuation
Committee's
assumptions
used
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments).
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).
Accordingly,
the
degree
of
judgment
exercised
in
determining
fair
value
is
greatest
for
instruments
categorized
in
Level
3.
The
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value
may
fall
into
different
levels
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
In
such
cases,
for
disclosure
purposes,
the
fair
value
hierarchy
classification
is
determined
based
on
the
lowest
level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement
in
its
entirety. Investments
classified
within
Level
3
have
significant
unobservable
inputs
used
by
the
Global
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
Private
Companies
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
The
categorization
of
a
value
determined
for
financial
instruments
is
based
on
the
pricing
transparency
of
the financial
instruments
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risks
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
As
of
December
31,
2020,
certain
investments
of
the
Funds were
fair
valued
using
NAV per
share
as
no
quoted
market
value
is
available
and
therefore
have
been
excluded
from
the
fair
value
hierarchy. 
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Asset-Backed
and
Mortgage-Backed
Securities:
Asset-backed
securities
are
generally
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
or
as
debt
instruments.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
pass-through
certificates
represent
undivided
fractional
ownership
interests
in
an
underlying
pool
of
assets.
Asset-backed
securities
issued
as
debt
instruments,
which
are
also
known
as
collateralized
obligations,
are
typically
issued
as
the
debt
of
a
special
purpose
entity
organized
solely
for
the
purpose
of
owning
such
assets
and
issuing
such
debt.
Asset-backed
securities
are
often
backed
by
a
pool
of
assets
representing
the
obligations
of
a
number
of
different
parties.
The
yield
characteristics
of
certain
asset-backed
securities
may
differ
from
traditional
debt
securities.
One
such
major
difference
is
that
all
or
a
principal
part
of
the
obligations
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time
because
the
underlying
assets
(i.e.,
loans)
may
be
prepaid
at
any
time.
As
a
result,
a
decrease
in
interest
rates
in
the
market
may
result
in
increases
in
the
level
of
prepayments
as
borrowers,
particularly
mortgagors,
refinance
and
repay
their
loans.
An
increased
prepayment
rate
with
respect
to
an
asset-backed
security
will
have
the
effect
of
shortening
the
maturity
of
the
security.
In
addition,
a
fund
may
subsequently
have
to
reinvest
the
proceeds
at
lower
interest
rates.
If
a
fund
has
purchased
such
an
asset-backed
security
at
a
premium,
a
faster
than
anticipated
prepayment
rate
could
result
in
a
loss
of
principal
to
the
extent
of
the
premium
paid. 
For
mortgage
pass-through
securities
(the
“Mortgage
Assets”)
there
are
a
number
of
important
differences
among
the
agencies
and
instrumentalities
of
the
U.S.
Government
that
issue
mortgage-related
securities
and
among
the
securities
that
they
issue.
For
example,
mortgage-related
securities
guaranteed
by
Ginnie
Mae
are
guaranteed
as
to
the
timely
payment
of
principal
and
interest
by
Ginnie
Mae
and
such
guarantee
is
backed
by
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States.
However,
mortgage-related
securities
issued
by
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
including
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae
guaranteed
mortgage
pass-through
certificates,
which
are
solely
the
obligations
of
Freddie
Mac
and
Fannie
Mae,
are
not
backed
by
or
entitled
to
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
United
States,
but
are
supported
by
the
right
of
the
issuer
to
borrow
from
the
U.S.
Treasury. 
Non-agency
mortgage-backed
securities
are
securities
issued
by
non-governmental
issuers
and
have
no
direct
or
indirect
government
guarantees
of
payment
and
are
subject
to
various
risks.
Non-agency
mortgage
loans
are
obligations
of
the
borrowers
thereunder
only
and
are
not
typically
insured
or
guaranteed
by
any
other
person
or
entity.
The
ability
of
a
borrower
to
repay
a
loan
is
dependent
upon
the
income
or
assets
of
the
borrower.
A
number
of
factors,
including
a
general
economic
downturn,
acts
of
God,
terrorism,
social
unrest
and
civil
disturbances,
may
impair
a
borrower’s
ability
to
repay
its
loans.
Collateralized
Debt
Obligations:
Collateralized
debt
obligations
(“CDOs”),
including
collateralized
bond
obligations
(“CBOs”)
and
collateralized
loan
obligations
(“CLOs”),
are
types
of
asset-backed
securities.
A
CDO
is
an
entity
that
is
backed
by
a
diversified
pool
of
debt
securities
(CBOs)
or
syndicated
bank
loans
(CLOs).
The
cash
flows
of
the
CDO
can
be
split
into
multiple
segments,
called
“tranches,”
which
will
vary
in
risk
profile
and
yield.
The
riskiest
segment
is
the
subordinated
or
“equity”
tranche.
This
tranche
bears
the
greatest
risk
of
defaults
from
the
underlying
assets
in
the
CDO
and
serves
to
protect
the
other,
more
senior,
tranches
from
default
in
all
but
the
most
severe
circumstances.
Since
it
is
shielded
from
defaults
by
the
more
junior
tranches,
a
“senior”
tranche
will
typically
have
higher
credit
ratings
and
lower
yields
than
their
underlying
securities,
and
often
receive
investment
grade
ratings
from
one
or
more
of
the
nationally
recognized
rating
agencies.
Despite
the
protection
from
the
more
junior
tranches,
senior
tranches
can
experience
substantial
losses
due
to
actual
defaults,
increased
sensitivity
to
future
defaults
and
the
disappearance
of
one
or
more
protecting
tranches
as
a
result
of
changes
in
the
credit
profile
of
the
underlying
pool
of
assets. 
Inflation-Indexed
Bonds:
Inflation-indexed
bonds
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds)
are
fixed-income
securities
whose
principal
value
is
periodically
adjusted
according
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
If
the
index
measuring
inflation
rises
or
falls,
the
principal
value
of
inflation-indexed
bonds
(other
than
municipal
inflation-indexed
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds)
will
be
adjusted
upward
or
downward,
and
consequently
the
interest
payable
on
these
securities
(calculated
with
respect
to
a
larger
or
smaller
principal
amount)
will
be
increased
or
reduced,
respectively.
Any
upward
or
downward
adjustment
in
the
principal
amount
of
an
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
161
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
inflation-indexed
bond
will
be
included
as
interest
income
in
the
Statements
of
Operations,
even
though
investors
do
not
receive
their
principal
until
maturity.
Repayment
of
the
original
bond
principal
upon
maturity
(as
adjusted
for
inflation)
is
guaranteed
in
the
case
of
U.S.
Treasury
inflation-indexed
bonds.
For
bonds
that
do
not
provide
a
similar
guarantee,
the
adjusted
principal
value
of
the
bond
repaid
at
maturity
may
be
less
than
the
original
principal.
With
regard
to
municipal
inflation-indexed
bonds
and
certain
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds,
the
inflation
adjustment
is
typically
reflected
in
the
semi-annual
coupon
payment.
As
a
result,
the
principal
value
of
municipal
inflation-
indexed
bonds
and
such
corporate
inflation-indexed
bonds
does
not
adjust
according
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
Multiple
Class
Pass-Through
Securities:
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities,
including
collateralized
mortgage
obligations
(“CMOs”)
and
commercial
mortgage-backed
securities,
may
be
issued
by
Ginnie
Mae,
U.S.
Government
agencies
or
instrumentalities
or
by
trusts
formed
by
private
originators
of,
or
investors
in,
mortgage
loans.
In
general,
CMOs
are
debt
obligations
of
a
legal
entity
that
are
collateralized
by
a
pool
of
residential
or
commercial
mortgage
loans
or
Mortgage
Assets.
The
p
ayments
on
these
are
used
to
make
payments
on
the
CMOs
or
multiple
pass-through
securities.
Multiple
class
pass-through
securities
represent
direct
ownership
interests
in
the
Mortgage
Assets.
Classes
of
CMOs
include
interest
only
(“IOs”),
principal
only
(“POs”),
planned
amortization
classes
and
targeted
amortization
classes.
IOs
and
POs
are
stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
representing
interests
in
a
pool
of
mortgages,
the
cash
flow
from
which
has
been
separated
into
interest
and
principal
components.
IOs
receive
the
interest
portion
of
the
cash
flow
while
POs
receive
the
principal
portion.
IOs
and
POs
can
be
extremely
volatile
in
response
to
changes
in
interest
rates.
As
interest
rates
rise
and
fall,
the
value
of
IOs
tends
to
move
in
the
same
direction
as
interest
rates.
POs
perform
best
when
prepayments
on
the
underlying
mortgages
rise
since
this
increases
the
rate
at
which
the
principal
is
returned
and
the
yield
to
maturity
on
the
PO.
When
payments
on
mortgages
underlying
a
PO
are
slower
than
anticipated,
the
life
of
the
PO
is
lengthened
and
the
yield
to
maturity
is
reduced.
If
the
underlying
Mortgage
Assets
experience
greater
than
anticipated
prepayments
of
principal,
a
fund’s
initial
investment
in
the
IOs
may
not
fully
recoup. 
Stripped
Mortgage-Backed
Securities:
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
are
typically
issued
by
the
U.S.
Government,
its
agencies
and
instrumentalities.
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
are
usually
structured
with
two
classes
that
receive
different
proportions
of
the
interest
(IOs)
and
principal
(POs)
distributions
on
a
pool
of
Mortgage
Assets
.
Stripped
mortgage-backed
securities
may
be
privately
issued.
Zero-Coupon
Bonds:
Zero-coupon
bonds
are
normally
issued
at
a
significant
discount
from
face
value
and
do
not
provide
for
periodic
interest
payments.
These
bonds
may
experience
greater
volatility
in
market
value
than
other
debt
obligations
of
similar
maturity
which
provide
for
regular
interest
payments. 
Capital
Securities
and
Trust
Preferred
Securities:
Capital
securities,
including
trust
preferred
securities,
are
typically
issued
by
corporations,
generally
in
the
form
of
interest-bearing
notes
with
preferred
securities
characteristics.
In
the
case
of
trust
preferred
securities,
an
affiliated
business
trust
of
a
corporation
issues
these
securities,
generally
in
the
form
of
beneficial
interests
in
subordinated
debentures
or
similarly
structured
securities.
The
securities
can
be
structured
with
either
a
fixed
or
adjustable
coupon
that
can
have
either
a
perpetual
or
stated
maturity
date.
For
trust
preferred
securities,
the
issuing
bank
or
corporation
pays
interest
to
the
trust,
which
is
then
distributed
to
holders
of
these
securities
as
a
dividend.
Dividends
can
be
deferred
without
creating
an
event
of
default
or
acceleration,
although
maturity
cannot
take
place
unless
all
cumulative
payment
obligations
have
been
met.
The
deferral
of
payments
does
not
affect
the
purchase
or
sale
of
these
securities
in
the
open
market.
These
securities
generally
are
rated
below
that
of
the
issuing
company’s
senior
debt
securities
and
are
freely
callable
at
the
issuer’s
option. 
Preferred
Stocks:
Preferred
stock
has
a
preference
over
common
stock
in
liquidation
(and
generally
in
receiving
dividends
as
well),
but
is
subordinated
to
the
liabilities
of
the
issuer
in
all
respects.
As
a
general
rule,
the
market
value
of
preferred
stock
with
a
fixed
dividend
rate
and
no
conversion
element
varies
inversely
with
interest
rates
and
perceived
credit
risk,
while
the
market
price
of
convertible
preferred
stock
generally
also
reflects
some
element
of
conversion
value.
Because
preferred
stock
is
junior
to
debt
securities
and
other
obligations
of
the
issuer,
deterioration
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
issuer
will
cause
greater
changes
in
the
value
of
a
preferred
stock
than
in
a
more
senior
debt
security
with
similar
stated
yield
characteristics.
Unlike
interest
payments
on
debt
securities,
preferred
stock
dividends
are
payable
only
if
declared
by
the
issuer’s
board
of
directors.
Preferred
stock
also
may
be
subject
to
optional
or
mandatory
redemption
provisions. 
Warrants:
Warrants
entitle
a
fund
to
purchase
a
specified
number
of
shares
of
common
stock
and
are
non-income
producing.
The
purchase
price
and
number
of
shares
are
subject
to
adjustment
under
certain
conditions
until
the
expiration
date
of
the
warrants,
if
any.
If
the
price
of
the
underlying
stock
does
not
rise
above
the
strike
price
before
the
warrant
expires,
the
warrant
generally
expires
without
any
value
and
a
fund
will
lose
any
amount
it
paid
for
the
warrant.
Thus,
investments
in
warrants
may
involve
more
risk
than
investments
in
common
stock.
Warrants
may
trade
in
the
same
markets
as
their
underlying
stock;
however,
the
price
of
the
warrant
does
not
necessarily
move
with
the
price
of
the
underlying
stock. 
Floating
Rate
Loan
Interests:
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
typically
issued
to
companies
(the
“borrower”)
by
banks,
other
financial
institutions,
or
privately
and
publicly
offered
corporations
(the
“lender”).
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
generally
non-investment
grade,
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
troubled
or
uncertain
and
companies
that
are
highly
leveraged
or
in
bankruptcy
proceedings.
In
addition,
transactions
in
floating
rate
loan
interests
may
settle
on
a
delayed
basis,
which
may
result
in
proceeds
from
the
sale
not
being
readily
available
for
a
fund
to
make
additional
investments
or
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
may
include
fully
funded
term
loans
or
revolving
lines
of
credit.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
typically
senior
in
the
corporate
capital
structure
of
the
borrower.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
generally
pay
interest
at
rates
that
are
periodically
determined
by
reference
to
a
base
lending
rate
plus
a
premium.
Since
the
rates
reset
only
periodically,
changes
in
prevailing
interest
rates
(and
particularly
sudden
and
significant
changes)
can
be
expected
to
cause
some
fluctuations
in
the
NAV
of
a
fu
nd
to
the
extent
that
it
invests
in
floating
rate
loan
interests.
The
base
lending
rates
are
generally
the
lending
rate
offered
by
one
or
more
European
banks,
such
as
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”),
the
prime
rate
offered
by
one
or
more
U.S.
banks
or
the
certificate
of
deposit
rate.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
may
involve
foreign
borrowers,
and
investments
may
be
denominated
in
foreign
currencies.
These
investments
are
treated
as
investments
in
debt
securities
for
purposes
of
a
fund’s
investment
policies. 
When
a
fund
purchases
a
floating
rate
loan
interest,
it
may
receive
a
facility
fee
and
when
it
sells
a
floating
rate
loan
interest,
it
may
pay
a
facility
fee.
On
an
ongoing
basis,
a
fund
may
receive
a
commitment
fee
based
on
the
undrawn
portion
of
the
underlying
line
of
credit
amount
of
a
floating
rate
loan
interest.
Facility
and
commitment
fees
are
typically
amortized
to
income
over
the
term
of
the
loan
or
term
of
the
commitment,
respectively.
Consent
and
amendment
fees
are
recorded
to
income
as
earned.
Prepayment
penalty
fees,
which
may
be
received
by
a
fund
upon
the
prepayment
of
a
floating
rate
loan
interest
by
a
borrower,
are
recorded
as
realized
gains.
A
fund
may
invest
in
multiple
series
or
tranches
of
a
loan.
A
different
series
or
tranche
may
have
varying
terms
and
carry
different
associated
risks.
Floating
rate
loan
interests
are
usually
freely
callable
at
the
borrower’s
option.
A
fund
may
invest
in
such
loans
in
the
form
of
participations
in
loans
(“Participations”)
or
assignments
(“Assignments”)
of
all
or
a
portion
of
loans
from
third
parties.
Participations
typically
will
result
in
a
fund
having
a
contractual
relationship
only
with
the
lender,

not
with
the
borrower.
A
fund
has
the
right
to
receive
payments
of
principal,
interest
and
any
fees
to
which
it
is
entitled
only
from
the
lender
selling
the
Participation
and
only
upon
receipt
by
the
lender
of
the
payments
from
the
borrower.
In
connection
with
purchasing
Participations,
a
fund
generally
will
have
no
right
to
enforce
compliance
by
the
borrower
with
the
terms
of
the
loan
agreement,
nor
any
rights
of
offset
against
the
borrower.
A
fund
may
not
benefit
directly
from
any
collateral
supporting
the
loan
in
which
it
has
purchased
the
Participation.
As
a
result,
a
fund
assumes
the
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
the
lender
that
is
selling
the
Participation.
A
fund’s
investment
in
loan
participation
interests
involves
the
risk
of
insolvency
of
the
financial
intermediaries
who
are
parties
to
the
transactions.
In
the
event
of
the
insolvency
of
the
lender
selling
the
Participation,
a
fund
may
be
treated
as
a
general
creditor
of
the
lender
and
may
not
benefit
from
any
offset
between
the
lender
and
the
borrower.
Assignments
typically
result
in
a
fund
having
a
direct
contractual
relationship
with
the
borrower,
and
a
fund
may
enforce
compliance
by
the
borrower
with
the
terms
of
the
loan
agreement.
In
connection
with
floating
rate
loan
interests,
certain
Funds
may
also
enter
into
unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests
(“commitments”).
In
connection
with
these
commitments,
a
Fund
earns
a
commitment
fee,
typically
set
as
a
percentage
of
the
commitment
amount.
Such
fee
income,
which
is
included
in
interest
income
in
the
Statements
of
Operations,
is
recognized
ratably
over
the
commitment
period.
Unfunded
floating
rate
loan
interests
are
marked-to-market
daily,
and
any
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
is
included
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
Statements
of
Operations.
As
of

Global

had
the
following
unfunded

Commitments:
Commitments
are
agreements
to
acquire
an
investment
at
a
future
date
(subject
to
conditions)
in
connection
with
a
potential
public
or
non-public
offering. 
Such
agreements
may
obligate Global
Allocation
to
make
future
cash
payments. As
of
December
31,
2020,
Global
Allocation
had
outstanding
commitments
of
$174,150.
These
commitments
are
not
included
in
the
net
assets
of
the Global
Allocation
as
of
December
31,
2020.
Forward
Commitments,
When-Issued
and
Delayed
Delivery
Securities
:
Certain
Funds
may
purchase
securities
on
a
when-issued
basis
and
may
purchase
or
sell
securities
on
a
forward
commitment
basis.
Settlement
of
such
transactions
normally
occurs
within
a
month
or
more
after
the
purchase
or
sale
commitment
is
made.
A
Fund
may
purchase
securities
under
such
conditions
with
the
intention
of
actually
acquiring
them,
but
may
enter
into
a
separate
agreement
to
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
Since
the
value
of
securities
purchased
may
fluctuate
prior
to
settlement,
a
Fund
may
be
required
to
pay
more
at
settlement
than
the
security
is
worth.
In
addition,
a
Fund
is
not
entitled
to
any
of
the
interest
earned
prior
to
settlement.
When
purchasing
a
security
on
a
delayed
delivery
basis,
a
Fund
assumes
the
rights
and
risks
of
ownership
of
the
security,
including
the
risk
of
price
and
yield
fluctuations.
In
the
event
of
default
by
the
counterparty,
a
Fund’s
maximum
amount
of
loss
is
the
unrealized
appreciation
of
unsettled
when-issued
transactions.
TBA
Commitments:
TBA
commitments
are
forward
agreements
for
the
purchase
or
sale
of
mortgage-backed
securities
for
a
fixed
price,
with
payment
and
delivery
on
an
agreed
upon
future
settlement
date.
The
specific
securities
to
be
delivered
are
not
identified
at
the
trade
date.
However,
delivered
securities
must
meet
specified
terms,
including
issuer,
rate
and
mortgage
terms.
When
entering
into
TBA
commitments,
a
fund
may
take
possession
of
or
deliver
the
underlying
mortgage-backed
securities
but
can
extend
the
settlement
or
roll
the
transaction.
TBA
commitments
involve
a
risk
of
loss
if
the
value
of
the
security
to
be
purchased
or
sold
declines
or
increases,
respectively,
prior
to
settlement
date.
In
order
to
better
define
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help
a
fund
mitigate its
counterparty
risk,
TBA
commitments
may
be
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Securities
Forward
Transaction
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSFTA”).
An
MSFTA
typically
contains,
among
other
things,
collateral
posting
terms
and
netting
provisions
in
the
event
of
default
and/or
termination
event. The
collateral
requirements
are
typically
calculated
by
netting
the
mark-to-market
amount
for
each
transaction
under
such
agreement
and
comparing
that
amount
to
the
value
of
the
collateral
currently
pledged
by
a
fund
and
the
counterparty. Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
the
obligations
of
a
fund
and
cash
collateral
received
from
the
counterparty,
if
any,
is
reported
separately
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
TBA
commitments
or
cash
received
as
collateral
for
TBA
commitments,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
a
fund,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments. Typically,
a
fund
is
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
it
receives;
however,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
do
so.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
a
fund
are
not
fully
collateralized,
contractually
or
otherwise,
a
fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Mortgage
Dollar
Roll
Transactions
:
Certain
Funds
may
sell
TBA
mortgage-backed
securities
and
simultaneously
contract
to
repurchase
substantially
similar
(i.e.,
same
type,
coupon
and
maturity)
securities
on
a
specific
future
date
at
an
agreed
upon
price.
During
the
period
between
the
sale
and
repurchase,
a
fund
is
not
entitled
to
receive
interest
and
principal
payments
on
the
securities
sold.
Mortgage
dollar
roll
transactions
are
treated
as
purchases
and
sales
and
a
fund 
realizes
gai
ns
and
losses
on
these
transactions.
Mortgage
dollar
rolls
involve
the
risk
that
the
market
value
of
the
securities
that
a
fund
is
required
to
purchase
may
decline
below
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
price
of
those
securities. 
Repurchase
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
are
commitments
to
purchase
a
security
from
a
counterparty
who
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
security
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
On
a
daily
basis,
the
counterparty
is
required
to
maintain
collateral
subject
to
the
agreement
and
in
value
no
less
than
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
amount.
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
traded
bilaterally,
in
a
tri-party
arrangement
or
may
be
centrally
cleared
through
a
sponsoring
agent.
Subject
to
the
custodial
undertaking
associated
with
a
tri-party
repurchase
arrangement
and
for
centrally
cleared
repurchase
agreements,
a
third
party
custodian
maintains
accounts
to
hold
collateral
for
a
fund
and
its
counterparties.
Typically,
a
fund
and
counterparty
are
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
absent
a
default
by
the
counterparty
or
a
fund,
respectively.
In
the
event
the
counterparty
defaults
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines, a
fund
could
experience
losses,
delays
and
costs
in
liquidating
the
collateral.
Repurchase
agreements
are
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(each,
an
“MRA”).
The
MRA
permits
a
fund,
under
certain
circumstances
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
by
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty.
As
a
result,
one
single
net
payment
is
created.
Bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
the
MRA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Based
on
the
terms
of
the
MRA,
a
fund
receives
securities
as
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price

Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
a
fund
would
recognize
a
liability
with
respect
to
such
excess
collateral.
The
liability
reflects
a
fund’s
obligation
under
bankruptcy
law
to
return
the
excess
to
the
counterparty.
Borrowed
Bond
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
referred
to
as
borrowed
bond
agreements
when
entered
into
in
connection
with
short
sales
of
bonds.
In
a
borrowed
bond
agreement,
a
fund
borrows
a
bond
from
a
counterparty
in
exchange
for
cash
collateral.
The
agreement
contains
a
commitment
that
the
security
and
the
cash
will
be
returned
to
the
counterparty
and
a
fund
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date.
Certain
agreements
have
no
stated
maturity
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Earnings
on
cash
collateral
and
compensation
to
the
lender
of
the
bond
are
based
on
agreed
upon
rates
between
a
fund
and
the
counterparty.
The
value
of
the
underlying
cash
collateral
approximates
the
market
value
and
accrued
interest
of
the
borrowed
bond.
To
the
extent
that
a
borrowed
bond
transaction
exceeds
one
business
day,
the
value
of
the
cash
collateral
in
the
possession
of
the
counterparty
is
monitored
on
a
daily
basis
to
ensure
the
adequacy
of
the
collateral.
As
the
market
value
of
the
borrowed
bond
changes,
the
cash
collateral
is
periodically
increased
or
decreased
with
a
frequency
and
in
amounts
prescribed
in
the
borrowed
bond
agreement.
A
fund
may
also
experience
delays
in
gaining
access
to
the
collateral.
Reverse
Repurchase
Agreements:
Reverse
repurchase
agreements
are
agreements
with
qualified
third
party
broker
dealers
in
which
a
fund
sells
securities
to
a
bank
or
broker-dealer
and
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
securities
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
A
fund
receives
cash
from
the
sale
to
use
for
other
investment
purposes.
During
the
term
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
a
fund
continues
to
receive
the
principal
and
interest
payments
on
the
securities
sold.
Certain
agreements
have
no
stated
maturity
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Interest
on
the
value
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreements
issued
and
outstanding
is
based
upon
competitive
market
rates
determined
at
the
time
of
issuance.
A
fund
may
utilize
reverse
repurchase
agreements
when
it
is
anticipated
that
the
interest
income
to
be
earned
from
the
investment
of
the
proceeds
of
the
transaction
is
greater
than
the
interest
expense
of
the
transaction.
Reverse
repurchase
agreements
involve
leverage
risk.
If
a
fund
suffers
a
loss
on
its
investment
of
the
transaction
proceeds
from
a
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
a
fund
would
still
be
required
to
pay
the
full
repurchase
price.
Further,
a
fund
remains
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
market
value
of
the
securities
repurchased
declines
below
the
repurchase
price.
In
such
cases,
a
fund
would
be
required
to
return
a
portion
of
the
cash
received
from
the
transaction
or
provide
additional
securities
to
the
counterparty. 
Cash
received
in
exchange
for
securities
delivered
plus
accrued
interest
due
to
the
counterparty
is
recorded
as
a
liability
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
at
face
value
including
accrued
interest.
Due
to
the
short-term
nature
of
the
reverse
repurchase
agreements,
face
value
approximates
fair
value.
Interest
payments
made
by
a
fund
to
the
counterparties
are
recorded
as
a
component
of
interest
expense
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
In
periods
of
increased
demand
for
the
security,
a
fund
may
receive
a
fee
for
the
use
of
the
security
by
the
counterparty,
which
may
result
in
interest
income
to
a
fund.
For
the
year
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
average
amount
of
reverse
repurchase
agreements
and
the
daily
weighted
average
interest
rate
for
the
Funds
were
as
follows:
Borrowed
bond
agreements are
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
MRAs,
which
permit
a
fund,
under
certain
circumstances,
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
under
the
MRA
with
collateral
held
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty
and
create
one
single
net
payment
due
to
or
from
a
fund.
With
borrowed
bond
agreements,
typically
a
fund
and
counterparty
under
an
MRA
are
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge,
or
use
the
collateral
associated
with
the
transaction.
Bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
the
MRA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
MRA,
a
fund
receives
or
posts
securities
and
cash
as
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price
to
be
paid
or
received
by
a
fund
upon
the
maturity
of
the
transaction.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
a
fund
is
considered
an
unsecured
creditor
with
respect
to
excess
collateral
and,
as
such,
the
return
of
excess
collateral
may
be
delayed.
As
of
period
end,
the
following
table
is
a
summary
of
a
Fund’s
open
borrowed
bond
agreements by
counterparty
which
are
subject
to
offset
under
an
MRA
on
a
net
basis:  
(a)
Included
in
Investments
at
value-unaffiliated
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
(b)
Includes
accrued
interest
on
borrowed
bonds
in
the
amount
of
$5,497
which
is
included
in
interest
expense
payable
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
(c)
Net
exposure
represents
the
net
receivable
(payable)
that
would
be
due
from/to
the
counterparty
in
the
event
of
default.
In
the
event
the
counterparty
of
securities
under
an
MRA
files
for
bankruptcy
or
becomes
insolvent,
a
fund’s
use
of
the
proceeds
from
the
agreement
may
be
restricted
while
the
counterparty,
or
its
trustee
or
receiver,
determines
whether
or
not
to
enforce
a
fund’s
obligation
to
repurchase
the
securities.
Short
Sale
Transactions
(Borrowed
Bonds):
In
short
sale
transactions,
a
fund
sells
a
security
it
does
not
hold
in
anticipation
of
a
decline
in
the
market
price
of
that
security.
When
a
fund
makes
a
short
sale,
it
will
borrow
the
security
sold
short
(borrowed
bond)
and
deliver
the
fixed-income
security
to
the
counterparty
to
which
it
sold
the
security
short.
An
amount
equal
to
the
proceeds
received
by
a
fund
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
an
equivalent
liability.
The
amount
of
the
liability
is
subsequently
marked-to-market
to
reflect
the
market
value
of
the
short
sale.
A
fund
is
required
to
repay
the
counterparty
interest
on
the
security
sold
short,
which,
if
applicable,
is
included
in
interest
expense
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
A
fund
is
exposed
to
market
risk
based
on
the
amount,
if
any,
that
the
market
value
of
the
security
increases
beyond
the
market
value
at
which
the
position
was
sold.
Thus,
a
short
sale
of
a
security
involves
the
risk
that
instead
of
declining,
the
price
of
the
security
sold
short
will
rise.
The
short
sale
of
securities
involves
the
possibility
of
an
unlimited
loss
since
there
is
an
unlimited
potential
for
the
market
price
of
the
security
sold
short
to
increase.
A
gain
is
limited
to
the
price
at
which

a
fund
sold
the
security
short.
A
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recognized
upon
the
termination
of
a
short
sale
if
the
market
price
is
either
less
than
or
greater
than
the
proceeds
originally
received.
There
is
no
assurance
that
a
fund
will
be
able
to
close
out
a
short
position
at
a
particular
time
or
at
an
acceptable
price.
Short
Sale
Transactions
(Equities):
In
short
sale
transactions,
a
fund
sells
a
security
it
does
not
hold
in
anticipation
of
a
decline
in
the
market
price
of
that
security.
When
a
fund
makes
a
short
sale,
it
will
borrow
the
security
sold
short
from
a
broker/counterparty
and
deliver
the
security
to
the
purchaser.
To
close
out
a
short
position,
a
fund
delivers
the
same
security
to
the
broker
and
records
a
liability
to
reflect
the
obligation
to
return
the
security
to
the
broker.
The
amount
of
the
liability
is
subsequently
marked-to-market
to
reflect
the
market
value
of
the
short
sale.
A
fund
maintains
a
segregated
account
of
securities
or
deposits
cash
with
the
broker-dealer
as
collateral
for
the
short
sales.
Cash
deposited
with
the
broker
is
recorded
as
an
asset
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
segregated
as
collateral
are
denoted
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
A
fund
may
pay
a
financing
fee
for
the
difference
between
the
market
value
of
the
short
position
and
the
cash
collateral
deposited
with
the
broker
which
would
be
recorded
as
interest
expense.
A
fund
is
required
to
repay
the
counterparty
any
dividends
received
on
the
security
sold
short,
which,
if
applicable,
is
shown
as
dividend
expense
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
A
fund
may
pay
a
fee
on
the
assets
borrowed
from
the
counterparty,
which,
if
applicable,
is
shown
as
broker
fees
and
expenses
on
short
sales
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
A
fund
is
exposed
to
market
risk
based
on
the
amount,
if
any,
that
the
market
value
of
the
security
increases
beyond
the
market
value
at
which
the
position
was
sold.
Thus,
a
short
sale
of
a
security
involves
the
risk
that
instead
of
declining,
the
price
of
the
security
sold
short
will
rise.
The
short
sale
of
securities
involves
the
possibility
of
an
unlimited
loss
since
there
is
an
unlimited
potential
for
the
market
price
of
the
security
sold
short
to
increase.
A
gain,
limited
to
the
price
at
which
a
fund
sold
the
security
short.
A
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recognized
upon
the
termination
of
a
short
sale
if
the
market
price
is
either
less
than
or
greater
than
the
proceeds
originally
received.
There
is
no
assurance
that
a
fund
will
be
able
to
close
out
a
short
position
at
a
particular
time
or
at
an
acceptable
price.
Securities
Lending:
 Certain
Funds
may
lend
their
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Funds
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
current
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
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
is
determined
at
the
close
of
each
business
day
of the
Fund
and
any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to
the
Fund,
or
excess
collateral returned
by
the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Funds
are
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities,
but
do
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan,
all
of
which
were
classified
as
common
stocks/preferred
stocks/affiliated
and
unaffiliated
investment
companies
in
the
Funds’
Schedules
of
Investments,
and
the
value
of
any
related
collateral
are
shown
separately
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
component
of
investments
at
value
unaffiliated,
and
collateral
on
securities
loaned
at
value,
respectively.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
by
the
securities
lending
agent,
BlackRock
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“BIM”),
if
any,
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Funds
under
Master
Securities
Lending
Agreements
(each,
an
“MSLA”),
which
provide
the
right,
in
the
event
of
default
(including
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
for
the
non-defaulting
party
to
liquidate
the
collateral
and
calculate
a
net
exposure
to
the
defaulting
party
or
request
additional
collateral.
In
the
event
that
a
borrower
defaults,
the
Funds,
as
lender,
would
offset
the
market
value
of
the
collateral
received
against
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned.
When
the
value
of
the
collateral
is
greater
than
that
of
the
market
value
of
the
securities
loaned,
the
lender
is
left
with
a
net
amount
payable
to
the
defaulting
party.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
an
MSLA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Under
the
MSLA,
absent
an
event
of
default,
the
borrower
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities,
and
a
Fund
can
reinvest
cash
collateral
received
in
connection
with
loaned
securities.
Upon
an
event
of
default,
the
parties’
obligations
to
return
the
securities
or
collateral
to
the
other
party
are
extinguished,
and
the
parties
can
resell
or
re-pledge
the
loaned
securities
or
the
collateral
received
in
connection
with
the
loaned
securities
in
order
to
satisfy
the
defaulting
party’s
net
payment
obligation
for
all
transactions
under
the
MSLA.
The
defaulting
party
remains
liable
for
any
deficiency.

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
The
risks
of
securities
lending
include
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
not
provide
additional
collateral
when
required
or
may
not
return
the
securities
when
due.
To
mitigate
these
risks,
the
Funds
benefit
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BIM.
BIM’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
on
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
Each
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
loaned
securities
or
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
value
of
the
original
cash
collateral
received.
Such
losses
are
borne
entirely
by
the
Funds.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Funds
engage
in
various
portfolio
investment
strategies
using
derivative
contracts
both
to
increase
the
returns
of
the
Funds
and/or
to
manage
their
exposure
to
certain
risks
such
as
credit
risk,
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk,
commodity
price
risk
or
other
risks
(e.g.,
inflation
risk).
Derivative
financial
instruments
categorized
by
risk
exposure
are
included
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
These
contracts
may
be
transacted
on
an
exchange
or
OTC.
Futures
Contracts:
Futures
contracts
are
purchased
or
sold
to
gain
exposure
to,
or
manage
exposure
to,
changes
in
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk)
and
changes
in
the
value
of
equity
securities
(equity
risk)
or
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
Futures
contracts
are
exchange-traded agreements
between
the
Funds
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
specific
quantity
of
an
underlying
instrument
at
a
specified
price
and
on
a
specified
date.
Depending
on
the
terms
of
a
contract,
it
is
settled
either
through
physical
delivery
of
the
underlying
instrument
on
the
settlement
date
or
by
payment
of
a
cash
amount
on
the
settlement
date.
Upon
entering
into
a
futures
contract,
the
Funds
are
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
a
contract’s
size
and
risk
profile.
The
initial
margin
deposit
must
then
be
maintained
at
an
established
level
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any, are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Funds
agree
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
an
amount
of
cash
equal
to
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
of
the
contract
(“variation
margin”).
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and,
if
any,
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
futures
contracts
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
contract
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
notional
amount
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
The
use
of
futures
contracts
involves
the
risk
of
an
imperfect
correlation
in
the
movements
in
the
price
of
futures
contracts
and
interest
rates,
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
or
underlying
assets.

Forward
Foreign
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
:
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
A
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
two
parties
to
buy
and
sell
a
currency
at
a
set
exchange
rate
on
a
specified
date.
These
contracts
help
to
manage
the
overall
exposure
to
the
currencies
in
which
some
of
the
investments
held
by
the
Funds
are
denominated
and
in
some
cases,
may
be
used
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
particular
market.
The
contracts
are
traded
OTC
and
not
on
an
organized
exchange.
The
contract
is
marked-to-market
daily
and
the
change
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
opened
and
the
value
at
the
time
it
was
closed.
Non-deliverable
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
settled
with
the
counterparty
in
cash
without
the
delivery
of
foreign
currency.
The
use
of
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
involves
the
risk
that
the
value
of
a
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
changes
unfavorably
due
to
movements
in
the
value
of
the
referenced
foreign
currencies,
and
such
value
may
exceed
the
amount(s)
reflected
in
the Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities. Cash
amounts
pledged
for
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
considered
restricted
and
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
OTC
derivatives
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
A
Fund’s
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives
is
generally
limited
to
the
aggregate
unrealized
gain
netted
against
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund.
Options:
Certain
Funds
purchase
and
write
call
and
put
options
to
increase
or
decrease
their
exposure
to
the
risks
of
underlying
instruments,
including
equity
risk,
interest
rate
risk
and/or
commodity
price
risk
and/or,
in
the
case
of
options
written,
to
generate
gains
from
options
premiums.
A
call
option
gives
the
purchaser
(holder)
of
the
option
the
right
(but
not
the
obligation)
to
buy,
and
obligates
the
seller
(writer)
to
sell
(when
the
option
is
exercised)
the
underlying
instrument
at
the
exercise
or
strike
price
at
any
time
or
at
a
specified
time
during
the
option
period.
A
put
option
gives
the
holder
the
right
to
sell
and
obligates
the
writer
to
buy
the
underlying
instrument
at
the
exercise
or
strike
price
at
any
time
or
at
a
specified
time
during
the
option
period.
Premiums
paid
on
options
purchased
and
premiums
received
on
options
written,
as
well
as
the
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value,
are
included
in
investments
at
value
unaffiliated
and
options
written
at
value,
respectively,
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
an
instrument
is
purchased
or
sold
through
the
exercise
of
an
option,
the
premium
is
offset
against
the
cost
or
proceeds
of
the
underlying
instrument.
When
an
option
expires,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
to
the
extent
of
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
an
option
is
closed
or
sold,
a
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
to
the
extent
the
cost
of
the
closing
transaction
exceeds
the
premiums
received
or
paid.
When
the
Funds
write
a
call
option,
such
option
is
typically
“covered,”
meaning
that
they
hold
the
underlying
instrument
subject
to
being
called
by
the
option
counterparty.
When
the
Funds
write
a
put
option,
cash
is
segregated
in
an
amount
sufficient
to
cover
the
obligation.
These
amounts,
which
are
considered
restricted,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
as
collateral
for
options
written
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Swaptions
Certain
Funds
purchase
and
write
options
on
swaps
(“swaptions”)
primarily
to
preserve
a
return
or
spread
on
a
particular
investment
or
portion
of
the
Funds’
holdings,
as
a
duration
management
technique
or
to
protect
against
an
increase
in
the
price
of
securities
it
anticipates
purchasing
at
a
later
date.
The
purchaser
and
writer
of
a
swaption
is
buying
or
granting
the
right
to
enter
into
a
previously
agreed
upon
interest
rate
or
credit
default
swap
agreement
(interest
rate
risk
and/or
credit
risk)
at
any
time
before
the
expiration
of
the
option.
Interest
rate
caps
and
floors
Interest
rate
caps
and
floors
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates
(interest
rate
risk
and/or
other
risk).
Caps
are
agreements
whereby
one
party
agrees
to
make
payments
to
the
other,
in
return
for
a
premium,
to
the
extent
that
interest
rate
indexes
exceed
a
specified
rate,
or
“cap.”
Floors
are
agreements
whereby
one
party
agrees
to
make
payments
to
the
other,
in
return
for
a
premium,
to
the
extent
that
interest
rate
indexes
fall
below
a
specified
rate,
or
“floor.”
The
maximum
potential
amount
of
future
payments
that
a
Fund
would
be
required
to
make
under
an
interest
rate
cap
would
be
the
notional
amount
times
the
percentage
increase
in
interest
rates
determined
by
the
difference
between
the
interest
rate
index
current
value
and
the
value
at
the
time
the
cap
was
entered
into.
Foreign
currency
options
– Certain
Funds
purchase
and
write
foreign
currency
options,
foreign
currency
futures
and
options
on
foreign
currency
futures
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
foreign
currencies
(foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk).
Foreign
currency
options
give
the
purchaser
the
right
to
buy
from
or
sell
to
the
writer
a
foreign
currency
at
any
time
before
the
expiration
of
the
option.
Barrier
options
– Certain
Funds
may
purchase
and
write
a
variety
of
options
with
non-standard
payout
structures
or
other
features
(“barrier
options”)
that
are
generally
traded
OTC.
The
Funds
may
invest
in
various
types
of
barrier
options,
including
down-and-out
options,
down-and-in
options,
double
no-touch
options,
one-touch
options,
up-and-
out
options
and
up-and-in
options.
Down-and-out
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
falls
below
a
specific
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Down-and-in
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
unless
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
falls
below
a
specific
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Double
no-touch
options
provide
the
purchaser
an
agreed-upon
payout
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
does
not
reach
or
surpass
predetermined
barrier
price
levels
prior
to
the
option’s
expiration
date.
One-touch
options
provide
the
purchaser
an
agreed-upon
payout
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
reaches
or
surpasses
predetermined
barrier
price
levels
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Up-and-out
options
expire
worthless
to
the
purchaser
if
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
increases
beyond
a
predetermined
barrier
price
level
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
Up-and-in
options
can
only
be
exercised
when
the
price
of
the
underlying
instrument
increases
beyond
a
predetermined
barrier
price
level.
In
purchasing
and
writing
options,
the
Funds
bear
the
risk
of
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
value
of
the
underlying
instrument
or
the
risk
that
they
may
not
be
able
to
enter
into
a
closing
transaction
due
to
an
illiquid
market.
Exercise
of
a
written
option
could
result
in
the
Funds
purchasing
or
selling
a
security
when they
otherwise
would
not,
or
at
a
price
different
from
the
current
market
value.
Swaps:
Swap
contracts
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
issuers,
markets
and
securities.
Such
contracts
are
agreements
between
the
Funds
and
a
counterparty
to
make
periodic
net
payments
on
a
specified
notional
amount
or
a
net
payment
upon
termination.
Swap
agreements
are
privately
negotiated
in
the
OTC
market
and
may
be
entered
into
as
a
bilateral
contract
(“OTC
swaps”)
or
centrally
cleared
(“centrally
cleared
swaps”).
For
OTC
swaps,
any
upfront
premiums
paid
and
any
upfront
fees
received
are
shown
as
swap
premiums
paid
and
swap
premiums
received,
respectively,
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
daily
fluctuation
in
market
value
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
OTC
Swaps
Notes

Financial
Statements
(continued)
167
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
or
paid
are
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
as
realized
gains
or
losses,
respectively.
When
an
OTC
swap
is
terminated,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Operations
equal
to
the
difference
between
the
proceeds
from
(or
cost
of)
the
closing
transaction
and
the
Funds’
basis
in
the
contract,
if
any.
Generally,
the
basis
of
the
contract
is
the
premium
received
or
paid.
In
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
immediately
following
execution
of
the
swap
contract,
the
swap
contract
is
novated
to
a
central
counterparty
(the
“CCP”)
and
the
CCP
becomes
the Funds’
counterparty
on
the
swap. Each
Fund is
required
to
interface
with
the
CCP
through
the
broker.
Upon
entering
into
a
centrally
cleared
swap, each
Fund is
required
to
deposit
initial
margin
with
the
broker
in
the
form
of
cash
or
securities
in
an
amount
that
varies
depending
on
the
size
and
risk
profile
of
the
particular
swap.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
is
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Amounts
pledged,
which
are
considered
restricted
cash,
are
included
in
cash
pledged
for
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract, each
Fund
agrees
to
receive
from
or
pay
to
the
broker
variation
margin.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
and
shown
as
variation
margin
receivable
(or
payable)
on
centrally
cleared
swaps
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Payments
received
from
(paid
to)
the
counterparty
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
and recorded
as
realized
gains
(losses)
in
the
Statements
of
Operations,
including
those
at
termination.
Credit
default
swaps
Credit
default
swaps
are
entered
into
to
manage
exposure
to
the
market
or
certain
sectors
of
the
market,
to
reduce
risk
exposure
to
defaults
of
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
or
to
create
exposure
to
corporate
and/or
sovereign
issuers
to
which
a
fund
is
not
otherwise
exposed
(credit
risk).
The
Funds
may
either
buy
or
sell
(write)
credit
default
swaps
on
single-name
issuers
(corporate
or
sovereign),
a
combination
or
basket
of
single-name
issuers
or
traded
indexes.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
the
protection
buyer
pays
fixed
periodic
payments
to
the
seller
in
consideration
for
a
promise
from
the
protection
seller
to
make
a
specific
payment
should
a
negative
credit
event
take
place
with
respect
to
the
referenced
entity
(e.g.,
bankruptcy,
failure
to
pay,
obligation
acceleration,
repudiation,
moratorium
or
restructuring).
As
a
buyer,
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Funds
will
either
(i)
receive
from
the
seller
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
deliver
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index,
or
(ii)
receive
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
As
a
seller
(writer),
if
an
underlying
credit
event
occurs,
the
Funds
will
either
pay
the
buyer
an
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
take
delivery
of
the
referenced
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index
or
pay
a
net
settlement
of
cash
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
security
or
underlying
securities
comprising
the
index.
Total
return
swaps
Total
return
swaps
are
entered
into
to
obtain
exposure
to
a
security
or
market
without
owning
such
security
or
investing
directly
in
such
market
or
to
exchange
the
risk/return
of
one
security
or
market
(e.g.,
fixed-income)
with
another
security
or
market
(e.g.,
equity
or
commodity
prices)
(equity
risk,
commodity
price
risk
and/or
interest
rate
risk).
Total
return
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
there
is
an
exchange
of
cash
flows
whereby
one
party
commits
to
make
payments
based
on
the
total
return
(distributions
plus
capital
gains/losses)
of
an
underlying
instrument,
or
basket
of
underlying
instruments,
in
exchange
for
fixed
or
floating
rate
interest
payments.
If
the
total
return
of
the
instrument(s)
or
index
underlying
the
transaction
exceeds
or
falls
short
of
the
offsetting
fixed
or
floating
interest
rate
obligation,
the
Funds
receive
payment
from
or
make
a
payment
to
the
counterparty.
Certain
total
return
swaps
are
designed
to
function
as
a
portfolio
of
direct
investments
in
long
and
short
equity
positions.
This
means
that
each
Fund
has
the
ability
to
trade
in
and
out
of
these
long
and
short
positions
within
the
swap
and
will
receive
the
economic
benefits
and
risks
equivalent
to
direct
investment
in
these
positions,
subject
to
certain
adjustments
due
to
events
related
to
the
counterparty.
Benefits
and
risks
include
capital
appreciation
(depreciation),
corporate
actions
and
dividends
received
and
paid,
all
of
which
are
reflected
in
the
swap’s
market
value.
The
market
value
also
includes
interest
charges
and
credits
(“financing
fees”)
related
to
the
notional
values
of
the
long
and
short
positions
and
cash
balances
within
the
swap.
These
interest
charges
and
credits
are
based
on
a
specified
benchmark
rate
plus
or
minus
a
specified
spread
determined
based
upon
the
country
and/or
currency
of
the
positions
in
the
portfolio.
Positions
within
the
swap
and
financing
fees
are
reset
periodically.
During
a
reset,
any
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
positions
and
accrued
financing
fees
become
available
for
cash
settlement
between
the
Funds
and
the
counterparty.
The
amounts
that
are
available
for
cash
settlement
are
recorded
as
realized
gains
or
losses
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
Cash
settlement
in
and
out
of
the
swap
may
occur
at
a
reset
date
or
any
other
date,
at
the
discretion
of
the
Funds
and
the
counterparty,
over
the
life
of
the
agreement.
Certain
swaps
have
no
stated
expiration
and
can
be
terminated
by
either
party
at
any
time.
Interest
rate
swaps
Interest
rate
swaps
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates
or
to
manage
duration,
the
yield
curve
or
interest
rate
(interest
rate
risk).
Interest
rate
swaps
are
agreements
in
which
one
party
pays
a
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
in
exchange
for
another
party’s
stream
of
interest
payments,
either
fixed
or
floating,
on
the
same
notional
amount
for
a
specified
period
of
time.
In
more
complex
interest
rate
swaps,
the
notional
principal
amount
may
decline
(or
amortize)
over
time.
Forward
swaps
— Certain
Funds
enter
into
forward
interest
rate
swaps
and
forward
total
return
swaps.
In
a
forward
swap,
each
Fund
and
the
counterparty
agree
to
make
periodic
net
payments
beginning
on
a
specified
date
or
a
net
payment
at
termination.
Inflation
swaps
Inflation
swaps
are
entered
into
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
inflation
(inflation
risk).
In
an
inflation
swap,
one
party
makes
fixed
interest
payments
on
a
notional
principal
amount
in
exchange
for
another
party’s
variable
payments
based
on
an
inflation
index,
such
as
the
Consumer
Price
Index.
Swap
transactions
involve,
to
varying
degrees,
elements
of
interest
rate,
credit
and
market
risk
in
excess
of
the
amounts
recognized
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Such
risks
involve
the
possibility
that
there
will
be
no
liquid
market
for
these
agreements,
that
the
counterparty
to
the
agreements
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
perform
or
disagree
as
to
the
meaning
of
the
contractual
terms
in
the
agreements,
and
that
there
may
be
unfavorable
changes
in
interest
rates
and/or
market
values
associated
with
these
transactions.
Master
Netting
Arrangements:
In
order
to
define its
contractual
rights
and
to
secure
rights
that
will
help it mitigate its
counterparty
risk, a
Fund
may
enter
into
an
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
Master
Agreement
(“ISDA
Master
Agreement”)
or
similar
agreement
with
its
counterparties.
An
ISDA
Master
Agreement
is
a
bilateral
agreement
between a
Fund
and
a
counterparty
that
governs
certain
OTC
derivatives
and
typically
contains,
among
other
things,
collateral
posting
terms
and
netting
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
2020
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
168
provisions
in
the
event
of
a
default
and/or
termination
event.
Under
an
ISDA
Master
Agreement, a
Fund
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
offset
with
the
counterparty
certain
derivative
financial
instruments’
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
and/or
posted
and
create
one
single
net
payment.
The
provisions
of
the
ISDA
Master
Agreement
typically
permit
a
single
net
payment
in
the
event
of
default
including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
counterparty.
However,
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
the
right
of
offset
in
bankruptcy,
insolvency
or
other
events.
Collateral
Requirements:
For
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
the
collateral
requirements
are
typically
calculated
by
netting
the
mark-to-market
amount
for
each
transaction
under
such
agreement
and
comparing
that
amount
to
the
value
of
any
collateral
currently
pledged
by
the
Funds
and
the
counterparty.
Cash
collateral
that
has
been
pledged
to
cover
obligations
of
the
Funds
and
cash
collateral
received
from
the
counterparty,
if
any,
is
reported
separately
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
cash
pledged
as
collateral
and
cash
received
as
collateral,
respectively.
Non-cash
collateral
pledged
by
the
Funds,
if
any,
is
noted
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
Generally,
the
amount
of
collateral
due
from
or
to
a
counterparty
is
subject
to
a
certain
minimum
transfer
amount
threshold
before
a
transfer
is
required,
which
is
determined
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
Funds.
Any
additional
required
collateral
is
delivered
to/pledged
by
the
Funds
on
the
next
business
day.
Typically,
the
counterparty
is
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
cash
and
non-cash
collateral
it
receives.
A
Fund
generally
agrees
not
to
use
non-cash
collateral
that
it
receives
but
may,
absent
default
or
certain
other
circumstances
defined
in
the
underlying
ISDA
Master
Agreement,
be
permitted
to
use
cash
collateral
received.
In
such
cases,
interest
may
be
paid
pursuant
to
the
collateral
arrangement
with
the
counterparty.
To
the
extent
amounts
due
to
the
Funds
from the
counterparties
are
not
fully
collateralized, each
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
Likewise,
to
the
extent
the
Funds have
delivered
collateral
to
a
counterparty
and
stand
ready
to
perform
under
the
terms
of
their
agreement
with
such
counterparty, each
Fund bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
a
counterparty
in
the
amount
of
the
value
of
the
collateral
in
the
event
the
counterparty
fails
to
return
such
collateral.
Based
on
the
terms
of
agreements,
collateral
may
not
be
required
for
all
derivative
contracts.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
Funds
do
not
offset
derivative
assets
and
derivative
liabilities
that
are
subject
to
netting
arrangements,
if
any,
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
INVESTMENT
ADVISORY
AGREEMENT
AND
OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
WITH
AFFILIATES 
Investment
Advisory:
Each
Company,
on
behalf
of
its
respective
Funds,
entered
into
an
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
with
the
Manager,
the
Funds'
investment
adviser
and
an
indirect,
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”)
,
to
provide
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services.
The
Manager
is
responsible
for
the
management
of each
Fund’s
portfolio
and
provides
the
personnel,
facilities,
equipment
and
certain
other
services
necessary
to
the
operations
of each
Fund.
For
such
services,
each
Fund
pays
the
Manager
a
monthly
fee
based
on
the
percentage
of
the seven
combined
Funds’
average
daily
net
assets
at
the
following
annual
rates:
The
portion
of
the
assets
of
a
Fund
to
which
the
rate
at
each
breakpoint
level
applies
will
be
determined
on
a
“uniform
percentage”
basis.
The
uniform
percentage
applicable
to
a
breakpoint
level
is
determined
by
dividing
the
amount
of
the
aggregate
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
seven
combined
Funds
that
falls
within
that
breakpoint
level
by
the
aggregate
average
daily
net
assets
of
the
seven
combined
Funds.
The
amount
of
the
fee
for
a
Fund
at
each
breakpoint
level
is
determined
by
multiplying
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
that
Fund
by
the
uniform
percentage
applicable
to
that
breakpoint
level
and
multiplying
the
product
by
the
applicable
advisory
fee
rate.
The
Manager
provides
investment
management
and
other
services
to
the
Subsidiary
of
Global
Allocation.
The
Manager
does
not
receive
separate
compensation
from
the
Subsidiary
for
providing
investment
management
or
administrative
services.
However,
Global
Allocation pays
the
Manager
based
on
the
Fund’s
net
assets,
which
includes
the
assets
of
the
Subsidiary.
With
respect
to
each
of
High
Yield
and
U.S.
Government
Bond,
the
Manager
entered
into
separate
sub-advisory
agreements,
effective
March
2,
2020
and
May
19,
2020
respectively,
with
BlackRock
International
Limited
(“BIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
The
Manager
pays
BIL
for
services
it
provides
for
that
portion
of
each
Fund
for
which
BIL
acts
as
sub-adviser,
a
monthly
fee
that
is
equal
to
a
percentage
of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
each
Fund
to
the
Manager.
With
respect
to
Balanced
Capital,
the
Manager
entered
into
separate
sub-advisory
agreements
with
BIL
and
BlackRock
(Singapore)
Limited
(“BRS”)
(collectively,
the
“Sub-
Advisers”),
each
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager.
The
Manager
pays
BIL
and
BRS
for
services
they
provide
for
that
portion
of
Balanced
Capital
for
which
BIL
or
BRS,
as
applicable,
acts
as
sub-adviser,
a
monthly
fee
that
is
equal
to
a
percentage
of
the
investment
advisory
fees
paid
by
Balanced
Capital
to
the
Manager.
For
the
year ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Funds
reimbursed
the
Manager
for
certain
accounting
services,

Distribution
Fees:
Each
Company,
on behalf
of
its
respective
Funds,
entered
into
a
Distribution
Agreement
with
BlackRock
Investments,
LLC
(“BRIL”),
an
affiliate
of
the

Transfer
Agent:
On
behalf
of
the
Funds,
the
Manager
entered
into

Pursuant
to
these

the
Service
Organizations
provide
the
Funds
with
administrative,
networking,
recordkeeping,
sub-transfer
agency
and
shareholder
services
to
underlying
investor
accounts.
For
these

per
shareholder
account,
which
will
vary
depending
on
share
class
and/or

of
Fund
shareholders
serviced

did
not
pay
any

Expense
Limitations,
Waivers
and
Reimbursements:
With
respect
to
each
Fund
(other
than
Government
Money
Market),
the
Manager
contractually
agreed
to
waive
its
investment
advisory
fees
by
the

indirectly
through
its
investment
in
affiliated
money
market
funds
(the
“affiliated
money
market
fund
waiver”)
through
April
30,
2021.
The

Securities
Lending:
The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
"SEC")
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits
BIM,
an
affiliate
of
the
Manager,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Funds,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BIM
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending.
The
Funds
are
responsible
for
expenses
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral

expenses”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
private
investment
company,
SL
Liquidity
Series,
LLC
("Money
Market
Series"), managed
by
the
Manager
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BIM
has
agreed
to
cap
the
collateral
investment
expenses
of
the Money
Market
Series to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The

to
shares
purchased
by
the

under
certain
circumstances,
impose
a
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
withdrawn
or
temporarily
restrict
withdrawals
for
up
to
10
business
days
during

For
the year

the

for
securities
lending
agent
services: 
Interfund
Lending:
In
accordance
with
an
exemptive
order
(the
“Order”)
from
th
e
SEC,
each
Fund
may
participate
in
a
joint
lending
and
borrowing
facility
for
temporary
purposes
(the
Interfund
Lending
Program”),
subject
to
compliance
with
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
Order,
and
to
the
extent
permitted
by
each
Fund’s
investment
policies
and
restrictions.
Each
Fund
is
currently
permitted
to borrow
and
lend under
the
Interfund
Lending
Program. 
A
lending
BlackRock
fund
may
lend
in
aggregate
up
to
15%
of
its
net
assets,
but
may
not
lend
more
than
5%
of
its
net
assets
to
any
one
borrowing
fund
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
A
borrowing
BlackRock
fund
may
not
borrow
through
the
Interfund
Lending
Program
or
from
any
other
source
more
than
33
1/3%
of
its
total
assets
(or
any
lower
threshold
provided
for
by
the fund’s
investment
restrictions).
If
a
borrowing
BlackRock
fund’s
total
outstanding
borrowings
exceed
10%
of
its
total
assets,
each
of
its
outstanding
interfund
loans
will
be
subject
to
collateralization
of
at
least
102%
of
the
outstanding
principal
value
of
the
loan.
All
interfund
loans
are
for
temporary
or
emergency
purposes
and
the
interest
rate
to
be
charged
will
be
the
average
of
the
highest
current
overnight
repurchase
agreement
rate
available
to
a
lending
fund
and
the
bank
loan
rate,
as
calculated
according
to
a
formula
established
by
the
Boards. 
During
the
year
ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Funds
did
not
participate
in
the
Interfund
Lending
Program.
Directors
and
Officers: 
Certain
directors
and/or
officers
of
the Companies are directors and/or
officers
of BlackRock
or
its
affiliates.
The
Funds
reimburse
the
Manager
for
a
portion
of
the
compensation
paid
to
the 
Companies'
Chief
Compliance
Officer,
which
is
included
in
Directors and
Officer
in
the
Statements
of
Operations. 
Other
Transactions:
The
Funds
may
purchase
securities
from,
or
sell
securities
to,
an
affiliated
fund
provided
the
affiliation
is
due
solely
to
having
a
common
investment
adviser,
common
officers,
or
common directors.
For
the
year
ended
December
31,
2020,
the

and
any
net
realized
gains
(losses)

RULE-ABOVE
INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
each
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required. 
Each Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No

tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The

Fund’s
U.S.
federal
tax
returns
generally
remains
open
for
a
period
of
three
fiscal
years
after
they
are
filed.
The
statutes
of
limitations
on
each
Fund’s
state
and
local
tax
returns
may
remain
open
for
an
additional
year
depending
upon
the

any

(b)
The

As
of
December

2020, gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows: 
BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Companies,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds
(except
for
Government
Money
Market),
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
(“Participating
Funds”),
is
a
party
to
a
364-day,
$2.25
billion
credit
agreement
with
a
group
of
lenders.
Under
this
agreement,
the
Funds
may
borrow
to
fund
shareholder
redemptions.
Excluding
commitments
designated
for
certain
individual
funds,
the
Participating
Funds,
including
the
Funds,
can
borrow
up
to
an
aggregate
commitment
amount
of
$1.75
billion
at
any
time
outstanding,
subject
to
asset
coverage
and
other
limitations
as
specified
in
the
agreement.
The
credit
agreement
has
the
following
terms:
a
fee
of
0.10%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
interest
at
a
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
one-month
LIBOR
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
on
the
date
the
loan
is
made
plus
0.80%
per
annum
or
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
rate
(but,
in
any
event,
not
less
than
0.00%)
in
effect
from
time
to
time
plus
0.80%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed.
The
agreement
expires
in
April
2021
unless
extended
or
renewed.
These
fees
were
allocated
among
such
funds
based
upon
portions
of
the
aggregate
commitment
available
to
them
and
relative
net
assets
of
Participating
Funds.
During
the
year ended
December
31,
2020,
the
Funds
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.
 PRINCIPAL
RISKS 
In
the
normal
course
of
business, certain
Funds
invest
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
each
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
among
others,
fluctuations
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
an
issuer
to
meet
all
of
its
obligations.
The
value
of
securities
or
other
instruments
may
also
be
affected
by
various
factors,
including,
without
limitation:
(i)
the
general
economy;
(ii)
the
overall
market
as
well
as
local,
regional
or
global
political
and/or
social
instability;
(iii)
regulation,
taxation
or
international
tax
treaties
between
various
countries;
or
(iv)
currency,
interest
rate
and
price
fluctuations.
Local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
war,
acts
of
terrorism,
the
spread
of
infectious
illness
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
or
other
events
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Funds
and their
investments.
Each
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
each
Fund
is
subject. 
Certain
obligations
held

have
a
credit

or
liquidity
feature
that
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
provide
for
repayment
of
principal
and
interest
on
the
obligation
when
due.
These
enhancements,
which
may
include
letters
of
credit,
stand-by
bond
purchase
agreements
and/or
third
party
insurance,
are
issued
by
financial
institutions.
The
value
of
the
obligations
may
be
affected
by
changes
in
creditworthiness
of
the
entities
that
provide
the
credit
enhancements
or
liquidity
features.
Government
Money
Market
monitors
its
exposure
by
reviewing
the
creditworthiness
of
the
issuers,
as
well
as
the
financial
institutions
issuing
the
credit
enhancements
and
by
limiting
the
amount
of
holdings
with
credit
enhancements
from
one
financial
institution.
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
additional
risks
when
reinvesting
cash
collateral
in
money
market
funds
that
do
not
seek
to
maintain
a
stable
NAV
per
share
of
$1.00,
which
may
be
subject
to
redemption
gates
or
liquidity
fees
under
certain
circumstances.
Market
Risk:
Each
Fund
may
be
exposed
to
prepayment
risk,
which
is
the
risk
that
borrowers
may
exercise
their
option
to
prepay
principal
earlier
than
scheduled
during
periods
of
declining
interest
rates,
which
would
force
each
Fund
to
reinvest
in
lower
yielding
securities. Each
Fund
may
also
be
exposed
to
reinvestment
risk,
which
is
the
risk
that
income
from
each
Fund’s
portfolio
will
decline
if
each
Fund
invests
the
proceeds
from
matured,
traded
or
called
fixed-income
securities
at
market
interest
rates
that
are
below
each
Fund
portfolio’s
current
earnings
rate.
Municipal
securities
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
litigation,
legislation
or
other
political
events,
local
business
or
economic
conditions,
credit
rating
downgrades,
or
the
bankruptcy
of
the
issuer
could
have
a
significant
effect
on
an
issuer's
ability
to
make
payments
of
principal
and/or
interest
or
otherwise
affect
the
value
of
such
securities.
Municipal
securities
can
be
significantly
affected
by
political
or
economic
changes,
including
changes
made
in
the
law
after
issuance
of
the
securities,
as
well
as
uncertainties
in
the
municipal
market
related
to,
taxation,
legislative
changes
or
the
rights
of
municipal
security
holders,
including
in
connection
with
an
issuer
insolvency.
Municipal
securities
backed
by
current
or
anticipated
revenues
from
a
specific
project
or
specific
assets
can
be
negatively
affected
by
the
discontinuance
of
the
tax
benefits
supporting
the
project
or
assets
or
the
inability
to
collect
revenues
for
the
project
or
from
the
assets.
Municipal
securities
may
be
less
liquid
than
taxable
bonds,
and
there
may
be
less
publicly
available
information
on
the
financial
condition
of
municipal
security
issuers
than
for
issuers
of
other
securities.
An
outbreak
of
respiratory
disease
caused
by
a
novel
coronavirus
has
developed
into
a
global
pandemic
and
has
resulted
in
closing
borders,
quarantines,
disruptions
to
supply
chains
and
customer
activity,
as
well
as
general
concern
and
uncertainty.
The
impact
of
this
pandemic,
and
other
global
health
crises
that
may
arise
in
the
future,
could
affect
the
economies
of
many
nations,
individual
companies
and
the
market
in
general
in
ways
that
cannot
necessarily
be
foreseen
at
the
present
time.
This
pandemic
may
result
in
substantial
market
volatility
and
may
adversely
impact
the
prices
and
liquidity
of
a
fund's
investments.
The duration
of
this
pandemic
and
its
effects
cannot
be
determined
with
certainty.
Valuation
Risk:
The
market
values
of
equities,
such
as
common
stocks
and
preferred
securities
or
equity
related
investments,
such
as
futures
and
options,
may
decline
due
to
general
market
conditions
which
are
not
specifically
related
to
a
particular
company.
They
may
also
decline
due
to
factors
which
affect
a
particular
industry
or
industries. A
Fund
may
invest
in
illiquid
investments.
An
illiquid
investment
is
any
investment
that a
Fund
reasonably
expects
cannot
be
sold
or
disposed
of
in
current
market
conditions
in
seven
calendar
days
or
less
without
the
sale
or
disposition
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment. A
Fund
may
experience
difficulty
in
selling
illiquid
investments
in
a
timely
manner
at
the
price
that it
believes
the
investments
are
worth.
Prices
may
fluctuate
widely
over
short
or
extended
periods
in
response
to

market
or
economic
news.
Markets
also
tend
to
move
in
cycles,
with
periods
of
rising
and
falling
prices.
This
volatility
may
cause
each
Fund’s
NAV
to
experience
significant
increases
or
decreases
over
short
periods
of
time.
If
there
is
a
general
decline
in
the
securities
and
other
markets,
the
NAV
of a
Fund
may
lose
value,
regardless
of
the
individual
results
of
the
securities
and
other
instruments
in
which a
Fund
invests. 
The
price a
Fund
could
receive
upon
the
sale
of
any
particular
portfolio
investment
may
differ
from a
Fund’s
valuation
of
the
investment,
particularly
for
securities
that
trade
in
thin
or
volatile
markets
or
that
are
valued
using
a
fair
valuation
technique
or
a
price
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service.
Changes
to
significant
unobservable
inputs
and
assumptions
(i.e.,
publicly
traded
company
multiples,
growth
rate,
time
to
exit)
due
to
the
lack
of
observable
inputs
may
significantly
impact
the
resulting
fair
value
and
therefore a
Fund’s
results
of
operations.
As
a
result,
the
price
received
upon
the
sale
of
an
investment
may
be
less
than
the
value
ascribed
by a
Fund,
and a
Fund
could
realize
a
greater
than
expected
loss
or
lesser
than
expected
gain
upon
the
sale
of
the
investment.
A
Fund’s
ability
to
value
its
investments
may
also
be
impacted
by
technological
issues
and/or
errors
by
pricing
services
or
other
third
party
service
providers. 
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
or
the
risk
that
an
entity
may
fail
to
or
be
unable
to
perform
on
its
commitments
related
to
unsettled
or
open
transactions,
including
making
timely
interest
and/or
principal
payments
or
otherwise
honoring
its
obligations.
The
Funds
manage
counterparty
credit
risk
by
entering
into
transactions
only
with
counterparties
that
the
Manager
believes
have
the
financial
resources
to
honor
their
obligations
and
by
monitoring
the
financial
stability
of
those
counterparties.
Financial
assets,
which
potentially
expose
the
Funds
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks,
consist
principally
of
financial
instruments
and
receivables
due
from
counterparties.
The
extent
of
the
Funds’
exposure
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks
with
respect
to
these
financial
assets
is
approximately
their
value
recorded
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Funds. 
A
derivative
contract
may
suffer
a
mark-to-market
loss
if
the
value
of
the
contract
decreases
due
to
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
market
rates
or
values
of
the
underlying
instrument.
Losses
can
also
occur
if
the
counterparty
does
not
perform
under
the
contract.
For
OTC
options
purchased,
each
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
in
the
amount
of
the
premiums
paid
plus
the
positive
change
in
market
values
net
of
any
collateral
held
by
the
Funds
should
the
counterparty
fail
to
perform
under
the
contracts.
Options
written
by
the
Funds
do
not
typically
give
rise
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
as
options
written
generally
obligate
the
Funds,
and
not
the
counterparty,
to
perform.
The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
counterparty
credit
risk
with
respect
to
options
written
to
the
extent
each
Fund
deposits
collateral
with
its
counterparty
to
a
written
option. 
With
exchange-traded
options
purchased,
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
there
is
less
counterparty
credit
risk
to
the
Funds
since
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse,
as
counterparty
to
such
instruments,
guarantees
against
a
possible
default.
The
clearinghouse
stands
between
the
buyer
and
the
seller
of
the
contract;
therefore,
credit
risk
is
limited
to
failure
of
the
clearinghouse.
While
offset
rights
may
exist
under
applicable
law, a
Fund
does
not
have
a
contractual
right
of
offset
against
a
clearing
broker
or
clearinghouse
in
the
event
of
a
default
(including
the
bankruptcy
or
insolvency).
Additionally,
credit
risk
exists
in exchange-traded
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps
with
respect
to
initial
and
variation
margin
that
is
held
in
a
clearing
broker’s
customer
accounts.
While
clearing
brokers
are
required
to
segregate
customer
margin
from
their
own
assets,
in
the
event
that
a
clearing
broker
becomes
insolvent
or
goes
into
bankruptcy
and
at
that
time
there
is
a
shortfall
in
the
aggregate
amount
of
margin
held
by
the
clearing
broker
for
all
its
clients,
typically
the
shortfall
would
be
allocated
on
a
pro
rata
basis
across
all
the
clearing
broker’s
customers,
potentially
resulting
in
losses
to
the
Funds. 
Concentration
Risk:
 A
diversified
portfolio,
where
this
is appropriate
and
consistent
with
a
fund's
objectives,
minimizes
the
risk
that
a
price
change
of
a
particular
investment
will
have
a
material
impact
on
the
NAV
of
a
fund.
The
investment
concentrations
within certain
Fund's
portfolios
are
disclosed
in
its Schedule
of
Investments.
Certain Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
securities
within
a
single
or
limited
number
of
market
sectors.
When
a
Fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
affecting
such
sectors
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Fund
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
sectors
are
presented
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
high
yield
securities.
High
yield
securities
that
are
rated
below
investment-grade
(commonly
referred
to
as
“junk
bonds”)
or
are
unrated
may
be
deemed
speculative,
involve
greater
levels
of
risk
than
higher-rated
securities
of
similar
maturity
and
are
more
likely
to
default.
High
yield
securities
may
be
issued
by
less
creditworthy
issuers,
and
issuers
of
high
yield
securities
may
be
unable
to
meet
their
interest
or
principal
payment
obligations.
High
yield
securities
are
subject
to
extreme
price
fluctuations,
may
be
less
liquid
than
higher
rated
fixed-income
securities,
even
under
normal
economic
conditions,
and
frequently
have
redemption
features.
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in fixed-income securities and/or use
derivatives tied
to
the
fixed-income
markets.
Changes
in
market
interest
rates
or
economic
conditions
may affect
the
value
and/or
liquidity
of
such investments.
Interest
rate
risk
is
the
risk
that
prices
of
bonds
and
other
fixed-income
securities
will
increase
as
interest
rates
fall
and
decrease
as
interest
rates
rise.
The
Funds
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
due
to
the
current
period
of
historically
low
rates. 
Certain Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of their
assets
in
securities
backed
by
commercial
or
residential
mortgage
loans
or
in
issuers
that
hold
mortgage
and
other
asset-
backed
securities.
When
a
Fund
concentrates
its
investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
a
greater
risk
of
prepayment
or
payment
extension
by
securities
issuers.
Changes
in
economic
conditions,
including
delinquencies
and/or
defaults
on
assets
underlying
these
securities,
can
affect
the
value,
income
and/or
liquidity
of
such
positions.
Investment
percentages
in
these
securities
are
presented
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments.
LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority
announced
a phase
out of
the
LIBOR
by
the
end
of
2021,
and
it
is
expected
that
LIBOR
will
cease
to
be
published
after
that
time. The
Funds
may
be
exposed
to
financial
instruments
tied
to
LIBOR
to
determine
payment
obligations,
financing
terms,
hedging
strategies
or
investment
value.
The
transition
process
away
from
LIBOR
might
lead
to
increased
volatility
and
illiquidity
in
markets
for,
and
reduce
the
effectiveness
of
new
hedges
placed
against,
instruments
whose
terms
currently
include
LIBOR.
The
ultimate
effect
of
the
LIBOR
transition
process
on
the
Funds
is
uncertain.

In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and

present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Funds
as

the

in
conformity

generally

United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Funds
are
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
their
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audits
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Funds’
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2020,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
agent
banks,
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
agent
banks
and
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

of

on

Advantage
Large
Cap

BlackRock

Portfolio,

met
on

and
the
Board
of
Series

on
behalf
of
BlackRock
High
Yield
Portfolio
and
BlackRock
U.S.
Government
Bond
Portfolio,
met
on
November
18-19,
2020
(the
“Meeting”)
to
review
the
Program.
The
Boards
previously
appointed
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
or
BlackRock
Fund
Advisors
(“BlackRock”),
each
an
investment
adviser
to
certain
Funds,
as
the
program
administrator
for
each
Fund’s
Program,
as
applicable.
BlackRock
also
previously
delegated
oversight
of
the
Program
to
the
40
Act
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Committee
(the
“Committee”).
At
the
Meetings,
the
Committee,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock,
provided
the
Boards
with
a
report
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
the
operation
of
each
Fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
and
any
material
changes
to
the
Program
(the
“Report”).
The
Report
covered
the
period
from
October
1,
2019
through
September
30,
2020
(the
“Program
Reporting
Period”).
The
Report
described
the
Program’s
liquidity
classification
methodology
for
categorizing
a
Fund’s
investments
(including
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
buckets.
It
also
referenced
the
methodology
used
by
BlackRock
to
establish
a
Fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
Committee
reviews
and
ratifies
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
Fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
The
Report
also
discussed
notable
events
affecting
liquidity
over
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
including
the
impact
of
the
coronavirus
outbreak
on
the
Funds
and
the
overall
market.
The
Report
noted
that
the
Program
complied
with
the
key
factors
for
consideration
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
for
assessing,
managing
and
periodically
reviewing
a
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
as
follows:
The
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
whether
each
Fund’s
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund
structure
with
a
focus
on
Funds
with
more
significant
and
consistent
holdings
of
less
liquid
and
illiquid
assets.
The
Committee
also
factored
a
Fund’s
concentration
in
an
issuer
into
the
liquidity
classification
methodology
by
taking
issuer
position
sizes
into
account.
Where
a
Fund
participated
in
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
(such
as
tender
option
bonds
and
reverse
repurchase
agreements),
such
borrowings
were
factored
into
the
Program’s
calculation
of
a
Fund’s
liquidity
bucketing.
Derivative
exposure
was
also
considered
in
such
calculation.
Short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions
.
During
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
the
Committee
reviewed
historical
net
redemption
activity
and
used
this
information
as
a
component
to
establish
each
Fund’s
reasonably
anticipated
trading
size
(“RATS”).
Each
Fund
has
adopted
an
in-kind
redemption
policy
which
may
be
utilized
to
meet
larger
redemption
requests.
The
Committee
may
also
take
into
consideration
a
Fund’s
shareholder
ownership
concentration
(which,
depending
on
product
type
and
distribution
channel,
may
or
may
not
be
available),
a
Fund’s
distribution
channels,
and
the
degree
of
certainty
associated
with
a
Fund’s
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections.
Holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
borrowing
arrangements
.
The
Committee
considered
the
terms
of
the
credit
facility
committed
to
the
Funds,
the
financial
health
of
the
institution
providing
the
facility
and
the
fact
that
the
credit
facility
is
shared
among
multiple
Funds
(including
that
a
portion
of
the
aggregate
commitment
amount
is
specifically
designated
for
BlackRock
Floating
Rate
Income
Portfolio,
a
series
of
BlackRock
Funds
V).
The
Committee
also
considered
other
types
of
borrowing
available
to
the
Funds,
such
as
the
ability
to
use
reverse
repurchase
agreements
and
interfund
lending,
as
applicable.
There
were
no
material
changes
to
the
Program
during
the
Program
Reporting
Period.
The
Report
provided
to
the
Boards
stated
that
the
Committee
concluded
that
based
on
the
operation
of
the
functions,
as
described
in
the
Report,
the
Program
is
operating
as
intended
and
is
effective
in
implementing
the
requirements
of
the
Liquidity
Rule.

Additional
Information
Regulation
Regarding
Derivatives
On
October
28,
2020,
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
“SEC”)
adopted
new
regulations
governing
the
use
of
derivatives
by
registered
investment
companies
(“Rule
18f-4”).
The
Funds
will
be
required
to
implement
and
comply
with
Rule
18f-4
by
the
third
quarter
of
2022.
Once
implemented,
Rule
18f-4
will
impose
limits
on
the
amount
of
derivatives
a
fund
can
enter
into,
eliminate
the
asset
segregation
framework
currently
used
by
funds
to
comply
with
Section
18
of
the
1940
Act,
treat
derivatives
as
senior
securities
so
that
a
failure
to
comply
with
the
limits
would
result
in
a
statutory
violation
and
require
funds
whose
use
of
derivatives
is
more
than
a
limited
specified
exposure
amount
to
establish
and
maintain
a
comprehensive
derivatives
risk
management
program
and
appoint
a
derivatives
risk
manager.
General
Information

Householding
The
Funds
will
mail
only
one
copy
of
shareholder
documents,
including
prospectuses,
annual
and
semi-annual
reports
and
proxy
statements,
to
shareholders
with
multiple
accounts
at
the
same
address.
This
practice
is
commonly
called
“householding”
and
is
intended
to
reduce
expenses
and
eliminate
duplicate
mailings
of
shareholder
documents.
Mailings
of
your
shareholder
documents
may
be
householded
indefinitely
unless
you
instruct
us
otherwise.
If
you
do
not
want
the
mailing
of
these
documents
to
be
combined
with
those
for
other
members
of
your
household,

Funds at

Item 3 –           Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:

Michael Castellano
Frank J. Fabozzi
Catherine A. Lynch
Karen P. Robards
 
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that Karen P. Robards qualifies as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR.
 
Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions.  Ms. Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987.  Ms. Robards was formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years where she was responsible for evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based on their financial results.  Ms. Robards has over 30 years of experience analyzing financial statements.  She also is a member of the audit committee of one publicly held company and a non-profit organization.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

Non-audit fees of $1,984,000 and $2,050,500 for the current fiscal year and previous fiscal year, respectively, were paid to the Fund’s principal accountant in their entirety by BlackRock, in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of certain other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription.  These amounts represent aggregate fees paid by BlackRock and were not allocated on a per fund basis.


(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
         
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services.  Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee.  The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant.  Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).  The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period.  Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project.  For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
 
                        Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services).  The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.  At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification.  The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.


(e)(2)  None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable

(g)
The aggregate non-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:

$14,900

              Additionally, the amounts billed by D&T in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates during the current and previous fiscal years for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription were:
