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

Supplement dated May 17, 2017 to the Class K Shares Prospectus of each Fund (each, a “Prospectus”)


Effective June 5, 2017, each Prospectus is amended as follows:

The first three paragraphs in the section of each Prospectus entitled “Account Information—How to Buy, Sell and Transfer Shares” are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

How to Buy, Sell, Exchange and Transfer Shares

The chart on the following pages summarizes how to buy, sell, exchange and transfer shares through your Financial Intermediary. If you are not purchasing shares through an Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan, you may also buy, sell, exchange and transfer shares through BlackRock if your account is held directly with BlackRock. To learn more about buying, selling, exchanging or transferring shares through BlackRock, call (800) 537-4942. Because the selection of a mutual fund involves many considerations, your Financial Intermediary may help you with this decision.

With certain limited exceptions, the Fund is generally available only to investors residing in the United States and may not be distributed by a foreign Financial Intermediary. Under this policy, in order to accept new accounts or additional investments (including by way of exchange from another mutual fund sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates) into existing accounts, the Fund generally requires that (i) a shareholder that is a natural person be a U.S. citizen or resident alien, in each case residing within the United States or a U.S. territory (including APO/FPO/DPO addresses), and have a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number, and (ii) a Financial Intermediary or a shareholder that is an entity be domiciled in the United States and have a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number or be domiciled in a U.S. territory and have a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number or IRS Form W-8. Any existing account that is updated to reflect a non-U.S. address will also be restricted from making additional investments.

The Fund may reject any purchase order, modify or waive the minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements for any shareholders and suspend and resume the sale of any share class of the Fund at any time for any reason. In addition, the Fund may waive certain requirements regarding the purchase, sale, exchange or transfer of shares described below.

The section of each Prospectus entitled “Account Information—How to Buy, Sell and Transfer Shares—How to Transfer Your Account” or “Account Information—How to Buy, Sell and Transfer Shares—How to Sell Shares—Transfer Shares to Another Financial Intermediary” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

How to Exchange Shares or Transfer Your Account

 

      Your Choices    Important Information for You to Know

Exchange

Privilege

   Selling shares of one fund to purchase shares of another BlackRock Fund (“exchanging”)    Class K Shares of the Fund are generally exchangeable for shares of the same class of another BlackRock Fund. Investors who currently own Class K Shares of the Fund may make exchanges into Class K Shares of other BlackRock funds except for investors holding shares through certain client accounts at Financial Intermediaries that are omnibus with the Fund and do not meet applicable minimums. There is no required minimum amount with respect to exchanges of Class K Shares. You may only exchange into Class K Shares of a BlackRock fund that is open to new investors or in which you have a current account, if the BlackRock fund is closed to new investors.

      Your Choices    Important Information for You to Know
         

To exercise the exchange privilege, you may contact your Financial Intermediary. Alternatively, if your account is held directly with BlackRock, you may: (i) call (800) 441-7762 and speak with one of our representatives, (ii) make the exchange via the Internet by accessing your account online at www.blackrock.com, or (iii) send a written request to the Fund at the address on the back cover of this prospectus. Please note, if you indicated on your New Account Application that you did not want the Telephone Exchange Privilege, you will not be able to place exchanges via the telephone until you update this option either in writing or by calling (800) 441-7762. The Fund has the right to reject any telephone request for any reason.

 

Although there is currently no limit on the number of exchanges that you can make, the exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time in the future. The Fund may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege at any time for any reason, including if the Fund believes, in its sole discretion, that you are engaging in market timing activities. See “Short Term Trading Policy” below. For Federal income tax purposes a share exchange is a taxable event and a capital gain or loss may be realized. Please consult your tax adviser or other Financial Intermediary before making an exchange request.

to Another

Financial

Intermediary

   Transfer to a participating Financial Intermediary    You may transfer your Class K Shares of the Fund only to another Financial Intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor.

Please contact your Financial Intermediary to accomplish the transfer of shares.
     Transfer to a non-participating Financial Intermediary
