The Markets in Review 

Dear Shareholder,

After an extended period of calm, market volatility increased over the course of 2014, driven largely by higher valuations in risk assets (such as equities and high yield bonds), rising geopolitical risks and expectations around global central bank policies. Several key trends drove strong performance in U.S. markets, particularly large-cap stocks, Treasuries and municipal bonds, while markets outside the U.S. were more challenged.

Investors began the year in search of relatively safer assets due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and weakening U.S. economic data. As a result, equities globally declined in January while bond markets strengthened despite the expectation that interest rates would rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve had begun reducing its asset purchase programs. Strong demand for relatively safer assets pushed U.S. Treasury bond prices higher and thus kept rates low in the United States. This surprising development, as well as increasing evidence that the soft patch in U.S. economic data had been temporary and weather-related, brought equity investors racing back to the market in February.

In the months that followed, interest rates trended lower in a modest growth environment and more investors turned to equities in search of yield. Markets remained relatively calm despite rising tensions in Russia and Ukraine and further signs of decelerating growth in China. Strong corporate earnings, increased merger and acquisition activity and signs of a strengthening recovery in the U.S. and other developed economies kept equity prices moving higher. Not all segments benefited from these trends, however, as investors ultimately became wary of high valuations, resulting in a broad rotation into cheaper assets.

Volatility ticked up in the summer as geopolitical tensions escalated and investors feared that better U.S. economic indicators may compel the Fed to increase short-term interest rates sooner than previously anticipated. Global credit markets tightened as the U.S. dollar strengthened, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows, and financial markets broadly weakened in the third quarter.

Several themes dominated the markets in the fourth quarter, resulting in higher levels of volatility and the outperformance of U.S. markets versus other areas of the world. Economic growth strengthened considerably in the United States while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan took aggressive measures to stimulate growth while the Fed moved toward tighter policy. This divergence in central bank policy caused further strengthening in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies. Oil prices, which had been falling gradually since the summer, plummeted in the fourth quarter due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance. Energy stocks sold off sharply and oil-exporting economies suffered, resulting in the poor performance of emerging market stocks.

At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

Sincerely,

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

• For the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index. The Fund’s Institutional and Investor A Shares outperformed the secondary benchmark, the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index (“Custom Index”) customized to represent only issues with maturities of five years or longer, while the Investor C Shares underperformed the secondary benchmark. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Customized Index.

What factors influenced performance?

• The Fund’s overweight allocations in the development district, health care and education sectors had a positive impact on performance. Above-market weightings in AA and BB rated bonds, as well as in unrated bonds, made more significant relative performance contributions than the Fund’s allocations to other rating categories. The Fund’s yield curve positioning, along with its emphasis on long-dated bonds, also had a positive impact on returns as longer-term yields declined. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions). Security selection, led by holdings in tobacco and state tax-backed sectors, further contributed to the Fund’s six-month results.

• Below-market weightings in bonds rated between CCC and C, which outperformed, detracted from performance. The Fund’s defensive duration posture (below-market interest rate sensitivity) also detracted from performance, as did its use of U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage interest rate risk.


• The Fund held an above-average weighting in cash reserves as of the close of the period, which reflects both strong year-end flows into the fund as well as a lack of attractive investment opportunities. The elevated cash position did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• Given the strong, positive inflows that occurred during the six-month period, the Fund’s activity reflected its efforts to stay invested and maintain a stable cash position. The Fund increased its exposure to the tobacco, tax-backed and development district sectors, while reducing positions in the transportation and health care sectors. The Fund maintained an above-average credit quality and above-market weightings in longer-dated bonds.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• At period end, the Fund’s duration posture was below that of the secondary benchmark but slightly higher than that of its primary benchmark. Relative to the S&P® Customized High Yield Municipal Bond Index, the Fund was overweight in the tobacco, education, development district and health care sectors, and underweight in the tax-backed, corporate, utilities and transportation sectors. In terms of credit quality, the Fund held overweights in the AA, BB and unrated credit tiers, while it was underweight in bonds rated A and BBB. The Fund remained positioned for a flatter yield curve, favoring long-dated securities that could gain a greater benefit from an environment of stable-to-lower long-term rates than their short- and intermediate-term counterparts.

1   For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
2   The investment advisor evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment advisor has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of December 31, 2014, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment advisor to be investment grade was $7,350,432, representing 1% of the Fund’s long-term investments.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock National Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock National Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Effective as of September 1, 2014, the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, was added with a customized benchmark, referred to as the “Custom Index”. The Custom Index reflects the returns of the S&P® Municipal Bond Index Bond Index through December 31, 2012. Beginning January 1, 2013, the Custom Index includes the returns of only those issues in the S&P® Municipal Bond Index that have maturities greater than 5 years. The investment advisor believes that this change in the performance benchmark more accurately reflects the investment strategy of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

• For the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, Custom National Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Custom National Index.

What factors influenced performance?

• The Fund’s shorter duration posture (lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) relative to the benchmark index detracted from performance as interest rates declined. The Fund’s cash reserves, held for the purpose of providing liquidity, detracted from relative results, as longer-maturity investments benefited from spread tightening or interest rate movements. Positions in bonds issued by tax-backed state and local school districts and education sectors underperformed the benchmark, although their absolute returns were positive. The Fund maintained a short position in 10-year U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage interest rate risk. With interest rates falling during the period, as prices rose, this position had a small negative impact on performance. The Fund’s high quality bias also had a negative impact on relative results. Although high quality issues provided positive returns, significant fund flows caused yield spreads to tighten more dramatically in lower-rated bonds (which indicates outperformance).

• The Fund’s overweight (above-benchmark) positions in the health care, corporate-backed, utilities and transportation sectors added value relative to the benchmark. In addition, the Fund’s position in longer-maturity bonds performed well given the decline in longer-term rates. (Bond prices rise as yields fall).


Describe recent portfolio activity.

• Cash reserves were reduced as it became apparent rates were going to remain low and yield spreads did not appear to be at risk of widening. A portion of the Fund’s cash reserves were converted to short-term investments in floating rate notes (FRNs) and municipal notes with maturities under two years. Near the end of the period, the fund purchased blocks of high grade, long maturity primary issue notes in order to move to a more neutral duration posture and to commit excess cash reserves.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• As of period end, the Fund was positioned defensively. Relative to the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, the Fund maintained a short duration posture (or a sensitivity to interest rate movements below that of the benchmark), and it held overweight positions in the health care, transportation and utilities sectors. At the period end, the Fund maintained a low degree of leverage through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

• For the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index.

What factors influenced performance?

• The Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark index was attributable in part to its duration positioning (management of interest rate risk). Specifically, the Fund was underweight in its exposure to the three- to four-year area of the yield curve relative to its benchmark, which outperformed during the period. An underweight exposure to the utilities sector, together with security selection in the group, also played a part in the Fund’s underperformance. The Fund’s underweight exposure to the tax-backed state sector, along with security selection in the sector, detracted from returns. An underweight position pre-refunded issues also hindered results.

• Conversely, the Fund’s overall yield curve positioning had a positive impact on performance. In addition, its use of U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage interest rate risk had a positive impact on performance given the increase in yields on short-term bonds. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions).


Describe recent portfolio activity.

• The Fund adjusted its positioning quite actively during the period. The investment manager reduced the portfolio’s duration (interest rate sensitivity) during the first half of the period, as the balance of supply and demand in the municipal market became less positive given the increase in new-issue supply. Later in the period, the Fund began increasing duration while taking advantage of attractive yield concessions in the new-issue market.

• Short-term municipal yields rose along with the increase in the yields of U.S. Treasuries of similar maturities. The Fund took advantage of market volatility by reducing the extent of its underweight in the three- to four-year portion of the yield curve as rates rose.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• Relative to the S&P® Limited Maturity Municipal Bond Index, the Fund had a neutral duration positioning at period end. However, the Fund maintained an underweight exposure to the three- to four-year segment of the yield curve given its potential vulnerability to rising interest rates. The Fund remained underweight to the pre-refunded sector because of the difficulty of sourcing bonds represented in the benchmark. In lieu of these bonds, the Fund has a roughly identical overweight exposure to the dedicated tax-backed sector, a market segment that featured strong credit fundamentals. Conversely, the Fund was underweight in bonds issued by local governments. The Fund closed the period with an overweight positions in “A” rated securities, which provide attractive yields relative to the associated risks. As of period end, the Fund held a minimal level of cash reserves.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund

Investment Objective

BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide shareholders with income exempt from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

On December 18, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved changes to the Fund’s name and investment strategies. The Fund will change its name to BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund. Under its new investment strategies, the Fund will continue to seek to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in investment grade New York municipal bonds. In addition, the Fund’s investment advisor has determined to change the Fund’s secondary benchmark from the Custom Index to the S&P® New York Municipal Bond Index. The investment advisor believes that the new benchmark is more relevant to the Fund’s new investment strategies. These changes become effective on February 18, 2015.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Fund perform?

• For the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P® Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the S&P® Customized New York Municipal Bond Index (“Custom Index”), customized to represent only issues with maturities of five years or longer. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Customized Index.

What factors influenced performance?

• The Fund’s performance benefited from income generated in the form of coupon payments from its portfolio of municipal bond holdings. In addition, the Fund’s limited use of leverage provided both incremental return and income in an environment of declining interest rates. (Bond prices rise as yields fall.) The Fund’s positioning along the yield curve, which favored longer-dated bonds, aided performance as longer-term bonds generally outperformed those with shorter maturities. Positions in lower-coupon bonds, which tend to have longer durations and more capital appreciation potential than bonds with higher coupons, helped performance as yields fell during the period. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) The Fund’s positions in zero-coupon bonds also aided returns, as these securities generated strong price performance due to their relatively long durations for their respective maturities. Fund performance was also bolstered by a heavier concentration in the middle range of the credit spectrum (specifically, A and BBB+ rated


credits) at a time in which higher yielding credits, sectors and structures generally outperformed. Finally, overweight positions in the strong-performing education and hospital sectors contributed to performance.

• The Fund’s overall duration posture was shorter than that of the benchmark index, which detracted from performance as interest rates declined in the period. An underweight allocation to tax-backed local and state credits was also detrimental to relative performance as these sectors outperformed. The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage interest rate risk had a slightly negative impact on performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• Greater than expected new-issue supply approaching year-end provided investment opportunities and enhanced the Fund’s ability to diversify into some new and lesser-held assets. Where feasible, the purchases were weighted toward the longer end of the yield curve and into lower-rated investment-grade bonds, as long rates appear well anchored and higher yielding bonds are expected to experience continued strong demand.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• Relative to the S&P® Customized New York Municipal Bond Index, the Fund remained overweight to longer-term bonds. This included overweighting the middle-to-lower end of the credit spectrum and holding higher exposure to the health, education and housing sectors.

About Fund Performance
  
 

• BlackRock and Institutional Shares (BlackRock Shares are available only in BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock National Municipal Fund) are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. Prior to October 2, 2006 for BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and July 18, 2011 for BlackRock National Municipal Fund, BlackRock Share performance results are those of the Institutional Shares restated to reflect BlackRock Share fees.

• Service Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund) are not subject to any sales charge (front-end load) or deferred sales charge. These shares are subject to a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee) and are available only to certain eligible investors. Prior to July 18, 2011, Service Share performance results are those of the Institutional Shares restated to reflect Service Share fees.

• Investor A Shares are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.25% for all Funds except BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, which incurs a 3.00% maximum initial sales charge, and all Funds incur a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee). Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Prior to October 2, 2006 for BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund, Investor A Share performance results are those of the Institutional Shares (which have no distribution or service fees) restated to reflect Investor A Share fees.

• Investor A1 Shares (available only in BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund) are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 1.00% for BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and 4.00% for BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund; and a service fee of 0.10% per year (but no distribution fee).

• Investor B Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund) are subject to a maximum CDSC of 4.00%, declining to 0% after six years. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.50% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. These shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately 10 years. (There is no initial sales charge for automatic share conversions.) On June 10, 2013, all issued and outstanding Investor B Shares of BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund were converted into Investor A1 Shares with the same relative aggregate net asset value (“NAV”).


• Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. Prior to October 2, 2006 (for all Funds except BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund), Investor C Share performance results are those of the Institutional Shares (which have no distribution or service fees) restated to reflect Investor C Share fees.

• Investor C1 Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Bond Fund) are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution and service fees per year as follows:

Investor A1, Investor B and Investor C1 Shares of their respective Funds are only available through exchanges and dividend reinvestments by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. On June 10, 2013, all outstanding Investor B1 Shares of BlackRock National Municipal Fund were converted into Investor A Shares.

Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to www.blackrock.com/funds to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Figures shown in each of the performance tables on the previous pages assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the payable date. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investment advisor reimbursed a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such reimbursement, a Fund’s performance would have been lower. The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements.

Disclosure of Expenses
  

Shareholders of these Funds may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees including 12b-1 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, 2014 and held through December 31, 2014) 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 and share class under the headings 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 other funds’ shareholder reports.

The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any 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.


SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 13
 
  
The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
  

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance yield and NAV. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.

Each Fund may leverage its assets through the use of proceeds received in TOB transactions, as described in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements. In a TOB transaction, a third party sponsor establishes a special purpose entity (a “TOB Trust”) into which the Fund transfers municipal bonds or other municipal securities. TOB investments generally provide the Fund with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Fund to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV per share.

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, the Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to Fund, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the 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 Fund 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 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 Fund 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 distribution rates than a comparable fund that does not use 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 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 Fund shareholders and may reduce income.


  

Derivative Financial Instruments  

The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market and interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also 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


derivative financial instrument. A Fund’s ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial 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 are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (concluded)   BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund
 

     
Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. 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. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
     
Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the 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)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
       
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. 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. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
     
Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the 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)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
       
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. 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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
       
Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the 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)
       
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment advisor. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease.
     
Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. 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. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
     
Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the 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)
     
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)
       
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Funds’ 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 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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Valuation: The Funds’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Directors. 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 provide oversight of the pricing function for the Funds for all financial instruments.

Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV each business day.

In the event that the 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 Value Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Value 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 consistent with the principles of fair value measurement. The pricing of all Fair Value Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Fund enters into certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts), or certain borrowings (e.g., TOBs) that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, the Fund may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of the Fund’s future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment or borrowing to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Fund 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.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.

Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. The character and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Recent Accounting Standard: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. It is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

3. Securities and Other Investments:

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: The 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. The Funds 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, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume 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, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in the Schedules of Investments.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: The Funds leverage their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is a special purpose entity established by a third party sponsor, into which a fund, or an agent on behalf of a fund, transfers municipal bonds into a trust (“TOB Trust”). Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Fund has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. If multiple funds participate in the same TOB, the rights and obligations under the TOB Residual will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation.

The TOB Residuals held by a Fund include the right of a Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates at par plus accrued interest upon the occurrence of certain mandatory tender events defined in the TOB agreements, and (2) to transfer, subject to a specified number of days’ prior notice, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Fund. The TOB may also be collapsed without the consent of a Fund, as the TOB Residual holder, upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond and a judgment or

70 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014
 
  
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  


ruling that interest on the municipal bond is subject to federal income taxation. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the TOB would generally be liquidated in full with the proceeds typically applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee, remarketing agent and liquidity provider, and then to the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates up to par plus accrued interest owed on the TOB Trust Certificates, with the balance paid out to the TOB Residual holder. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, no TOBs in which the Funds participated were terminated without the consent of the Funds.

The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund. The Fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is accounted for as a secured borrowing; therefore, the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in other liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of each Fund’s payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.

The Funds may invest in TOBs on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. TOB Trusts are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to the occurrence of the termination events described above. When a Fund invests in TOBs on a non-recourse basis, and the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event, the Liquidity Provider will typically liquidate all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the TOB Trust and then fund, on a net basis, the balance, if any, of the amount owed under the liquidity facility over the liquidation proceeds (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). If a Fund invests in a TOB on a recourse basis, the Fund will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the Fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a Fund investing in a recourse TOB will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB, these losses will be shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by the Funds at December 31, 2014, in proportion to their participation. The recourse TOB Trusts are identified in the Schedules of Investments including the maximum potential amounts owed by the Fund at December 31, 2014.

Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Funds on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering cost in the Statements of Operations. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for TOB Trust Certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for TOB Trust Certificates were as follows:




Underlying Municipal Bonds
Transferred to TOBs

New York Municipal
    $ 18,712,861         $ 18,710,577      
0.04% - 0.14%

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Funds’ average TOB Trust Certificates outstanding and the daily weighted average interest rate, including fees, were as follows:




Average TOB Trust
Certificates Outstanding

   
Daily Weighted
Average Interest Rate

High Yield Municipal
               $ 28,929,353            0.68%
National Municipal
    $ 283,951,725            0.60%   
New York Municipal
    $ 18,710,577            0.61%   

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.

4. 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 economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).

Financial Futures Contracts: The Funds purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 71
 
  
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  

Upon entering into a financial 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. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. 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 value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.

1 Actual amounts for the period are shown due to limited outstanding derivative financial instruments as of each quarter.

Counterparty Credit Risk: 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.

With exchange-traded futures, 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) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures 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.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services to the operations of each Fund. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee based on the following annual rates:

1 The portion of the assets of a Fund to which the rate of 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 two combined Funds that falls within that breakpoint level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the two 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 advisory fee rate.

However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Fund’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations.

2 Contractual waiver became effective on June 1, 2014.

The Manager has agreed not to reduce or discontinue these contractual waivers or reimbursements prior to November 1, 2015, unless approved by the Board, including a majority of Independent Directors. Prior to November 1, 2014 for Short-Term Municipal and June 1, 2014 for New York Municipal, the waivers and/or reimbursements were voluntary.

As a result, for National Municipal, Short-Term Municipal and New York Municipal, the Manager waived or reimbursed the following amounts which are shown as transfer agent fees waived and/or reimbursed — class specific in the Statements of Operations:

Fees Waived
by Manager

National Municipal
        $ 1,154,093

If during the Fund’s fiscal year the operating expenses of a share class, that at any time during the prior two fiscal years received a waiver or reimbursement from the Manager, are less than the expense limit for that share class, the Manager is entitled to be reimbursed by such share class up to the lesser of (a) the amount of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during those prior two fiscal years under the agreement and (b) the amount by which the expense limit for that share class exceeds the operating expenses of the share class for the current fiscal year, provided that: (1) the Fund, of which the share class is a part, has more than $50 million in assets for the fiscal year and (2) the Manager or an affiliate continues to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor or administrator. In the event the expense limit for a share class is changed subsequent to a fiscal year in which the Manager becomes entitled to reimbursement for fees waived or reimbursed, the amount available to reimburse the Manager shall be calculated by reference to the expense limit for that share class in effect at the time the Manager became entitled to receive such reimbursement, rather than the subsequently changed expense limit for that share class.

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Manager did not recoup any of New York Municipal’s fund level or class specific waivers and/or reimbursements.

7. Income Tax Information:

It is the Funds’ 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 their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended June 30, 2014. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

8. Bank Borrowings:

The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), were parties to a 364-day, $1.1 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders, under which the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for a certain individual fund, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, could borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $650 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Effective November 25, 2014, the credit agreement was amended to an aggregate commitment amount of $2.1 billion, of which the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to $1.6 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The agreement terminates on April 23, 2015, unless otherwise extended to November 24, 2015 or renewed for a period of 364 days from April 23, 2015. The amended agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.06% 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. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, and along with commitment 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 six months ended December 31, 2014, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.

9. Principal Risks:

New York Municipal invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single state. Investment percentages in specific states or U.S. territories are presented in the Schedules of investments.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe 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 generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 77
 
  
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  

The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or uses derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. See the Schedules of Investments for these securities and/or derivatives. 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.

As of December 31, 2014, High Yield Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the health sector. National Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the Utilities and Transportation sectors. Short-Term Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the state and county/city/special district/school district sectors. New York Municipal invested a significant portion of its assets in securities in the county/city/special district/school district sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Fund and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

The Funds may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Funds reinvest the proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total return performance of a fund.

On December 10, 2013, regulators published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”), which prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds,” as defined in the rules. Banking entities subject to the Volcker Rule are required to fully comply by July 21, 2015 and recently has been extended for certain covered funds. The Volcker Rule may preclude banking entities and their affiliates from (i) sponsoring TOB trust programs (as such programs are presently structured) and (ii) continuing relationships with or services for existing TOB trust programs. As a result, TOB trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. There can be no assurances that TOB trusts can be restructured, that new sponsors of TOB trusts will develop, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Funds. Any alternative forms of leverage may be more or less advantageous to the Funds than existing TOB leverage.

TOB transactions constitute an important component of the municipal bond market. Accordingly, implementation of the Volcker Rule may adversely impact the municipal market, including through reduced demand for and liquidity of municipal bonds and increased financing costs for municipal issuers. Any such developments could adversely affect the Funds. The ultimate impact of these rules on the TOB market and the overall municipal market is not yet certain.

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 it 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, please contact the Funds at (800) 441-7762.
