Supplement dated April 1, 2011 to the Prospectuses of each Fund

Each proposed transaction is referred to as a “Reorganization.” The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund for each Reorganization are shown in the table below.

     In each Reorganization, all of the Target Fund’s assets would be transferred to the respective Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain stated liabilities of the respective Target Fund and shares of the respective Acquiring Fund. If the Reorganization is completed, shareholders of the Target Fund will receive shares of the respective Acquiring Fund, the aggregate net asset value of which will be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares they held in the Target Fund on the date of the Reorganization, after which the Target Fund will cease operations.

     Shareholders of each of BlackRock Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Government Income Portfolio and BlackRock Managed Income Portfolio, each a series of BlackRock Funds II, are not required to vote with respect to their Fund’s Reorganization. It is expected that shareholders of these Funds in May 2011 will be sent an Information Statement containing important information about the respective Acquiring Fund, outlining the differences between the applicable Target Fund and Acquiring Fund and containing information about the terms and conditions of the relevant Reorganization.

     Each Target Fund that is required to obtain a shareholder vote to complete its Reorganization expects to convene a special meeting of its shareholders on or about June 24, 2011, to vote on the approval of its Reorganization. Shareholders of record of each such Target Fund as of April 27, 2011 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting, and they will receive proxy materials describing the relevant Reorganization.

     Until a Reorganization is completed, each Target Fund will continue sales and redemptions of its shares as described in its Prospectus. However, holders of shares purchased after the Record Date set for each special meeting of shareholders will not be entitled to vote those shares at the special meeting.

Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
