Dear
Shareholder,
The
12-month
reporting
period
as
of
April
30,
2021
reflected
a
remarkable
period
of
adaptation
and
recovery,
as
the
global
economy
dealt
with
the
implications
of
the
coronavirus
(or
“COVID-19”)
pandemic.
As
the
period
began,
the
response
to
the
virus’s
spread
was
well
underway,
and
countries
around
the
world
felt
the
effect
of
economically
disruptive
countermeasures.
Stay-at-home
orders
and
closures
of
non-essential
businesses
were
imposed
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
workers
were
laid
off,
and
unemployment
claims
spiked,
causing
a
global
recession.
As
May
2020
began,
stocks
had
just
begun
to
recover
from
the
lowest
point
following
the
onset
of
the
pandemic.
This
recovery
continued
throughout
the
reporting
period,
as
businesses
continued
re-opening
and
governments
learned
to
adapt
to
life
with
the
virus.
Equity
prices
rose
through
the
summer,
fed
by
strong
fiscal
and
monetary
support
and
improving
economic
indicators.
The
implementation
of
mass
vaccination
campaigns
and
passage
of
an
additional
$1.9
trillion
of
fiscal
stimulus
further
boosted
stocks,
and
many
equity
indices
neared
or
surpassed
all-time
highs
late
in
the
reporting
period.
In
the
United
States,
both
large-
and
small-capitalization
stocks
posted
a
significant
advance.
International
equities
also
gained,
as
both
developed
countries
and
emerging
markets
rebounded
substantially.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
(which
is
inversely
related
to
bond
prices)
had
fallen
sharply
prior
to
the
beginning
of
the
reporting
period,
which
meant
bonds
were
priced
for
extreme
risk
avoidance
and
economic
disruption.
Despite
expectations
of
doom
and
gloom,
the
economy
expanded
rapidly,
stoking
inflation
concerns
late
in
the
reporting
period,
which
led
to
higher
yields
and
a
negative
overall
return
for
most
U.S.
Treasuries.
In
the
corporate
bond
market,
support
from
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”)
assuaged
credit
concerns
and
led
to
substantial
returns
for
high-yield
corporate
bonds,
although
investment-grade
corporates
declined
slightly.
The
Fed
remained
committed
to
accommodative
monetary
policy
by
maintaining
near
zero
interest
rates
and
by
announcing
that
inflation
could
exceed
its
2%
target
for
a
sustained
period
without
triggering
a
rate
increase.
To
stabilize
credit
markets,
the
Fed
also
continued
purchasing
significant
quantities
of
bonds,
as
did
other
influential
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
will
continue
to
accelerate
as
vaccination
efforts
ramp
up
and
pent-up
consumer
demand
leads
to
higher
spending.
While
we
expect
inflation
to
increase
somewhat
as
the
expansion
continues,
we
believe
the
recent
uptick
owes
more
to
temporary
supply
disruptions
than
a
lasting
change
in
fundamentals.
The
change
in
Fed
policy
also
means
that
moderate
inflation
is
less
likely
to
be
followed
by
interest
rate
hikes
that
could
threaten
the
economic
expansion.
Overall,
we
favor
a
positive
stance
toward
risk,
with
an
overweight
in
equities.
We
see
U.S.
and
Asian
equities
outside
of
Japan
benefiting
from
structural
growth
trends
in
technology,
while
emerging
markets
should
be
particularly
helped
by
a
vaccine-led
economic
expansion.
While
we
are
underweight
overall
on
credit,
global
high-yield
and
Asian
bonds
present
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
talk
with
your
financial
advisor
and

for
further
insight
about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
Since
inception
(August
18,
2020)
through
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
Overall,
the
Fund
performed
well
in
a
generally
favorable
market
environment.
Emerging
market
(“EM”)
equities
got
off
to
a
strong
start,
buoyed
by
U.S.
dollar
weakness,
and
continued
to
benefit
from
the
broader
reopening
theme
throughout
the
first
half
of
the
period.
During
the
fourth
quarter
of
2020,
however,
momentum
styles
experienced
their
sharpest
drawdown
since
the
global
financial
crisis,
as
investors
shifted
to
cyclical
exposures
due
to
positive
news
on
COVID-19
vaccine
development.
As
2021
began,
EM
equities
regained
their
upward
momentum,
driven
by
reflationary
trends
that
made
investors
more
risk
tolerant
as
well
as
by
vaccine
rollouts.
EM
equities
outperformed
their
developed
market
(“DM”)
counterparts
until
February
2021,
when
a
sudden
spike
in
U.S.
interest
rates
in
response
to
inflationary
pressures
weighed
on
the
market.
This
ultimately
benefited
styles
focusing
on
reflationary
trends,
especially
within
the
energy
and
financials
sectors,
as
value
outperformed
growth
and
momentum.
Toward
the
end
of
the
period,
equities
saw
a
rotation
back
toward
physical
world
stocks
away
from
virtual
world
stocks,
which
reversed
their
performance
during
most
of
2020.
EM
equities
were
relatively
weak
going
into
period-end
compared
to
their
DM
counterparts,
largely
due
to
a
wave
of
COVID-19
cases
and
deaths
in
India.
The
biggest
contributors
to
the
Fund's
relative
performance
were
sentiment-based
insights
that
were
able
to
position
the
portfolio
correctly
across
the
ever-changing
market
backdrop.
Specifically,
an
insight
designed
to
combine
signals
and
data
sources
optimally
was
additive.
A
version
of
this
insight
designed
to
do
well
during
momentum
drawdowns
was
the
top
contributor,
given
the
style
weakness
during
the
period.
This
insight
motivated
an
overweight
to
machinery
and
semiconductor
stocks,
boosting
performance
as
economies
reopened
and
production
levels
recovered
from
shutdowns.
The
Fund's
environmental,
social
and
government
(“ESG”)
related
measures
contributed
to
performance,
with
an
insight
that
looks
to
capture
investor
flow
into
ESG-related
positions
driving
gains.
Notably,
these
proprietary
ESG
insights
continued
to
demonstrate
differentiation
and
resilience
across
different
market
environments.
Other
fundamental
measures
were
also
contributors.
Value-based
measures
notably
performed
well
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
amid
reflationary
market
trends.
Reversal-
based
and
flow-based
value
signals
supported
fund
performance,
as
did
more
traditional
measures.
Despite
the
Fund's
outperformance,
however,
there
were
measures
that
struggled
during
the
period.
Specifically,
select
dynamic
timing
signals
detracted
from
performance,
as
related
insights
prompted
underweight
positions
to
metals
&
mining
stocks,
which
weighed
on
results
amid
the
style
preference
shift
during
the
period.
Other
macro
thematic
insights
that
evaluate
companies'
fragility
during
COVID-19-related
shutdowns
also
dragged
on
performance.
Additionally,
top-down
country
positioning
dragged
on
performance.
Specifically,
an
overweight
to
India
weighed
on
relative
returns,
given
the
country's
severe
COVID-19
outbreak
late
in
the
period.
The
Fund
was
fully
invested
throughout
the
period.
The
investment
adviser
kept
a
higher
average
cash
balance
over
the
period,
which
was
hedged
by
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index
futures
to
manage
client
flows.
The
Fund’s
cash
exposure
had
no
material
impact
on
Fund
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
Over
the
course
of
the
period,
the
Fund
maintained
a
balanced
allocation
of
risk
across
all
major
return
drivers.
There
were,
however,
several
new
signals
added
within
the
stock
selection
model.
For
instance,
the
Fund
built
on
its
alternative
data
capabilities
by
adding
an
insight
that
captures
brand
sentiment
toward
retail
names.
Additionally,
given
the
dynamic
nature
of
the
current
market
environment,
the
Fund
instituted
enhanced
signal
constructs
to
identify
emerging
trends
such
as
sentiment
around
vaccine
development
and
its
impact
on
economic
reopening.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
Relative
to
the
benchmark,
the
Fund
ended
the
period
with
largely
neutral
positioning
from
a
sector
perspective.
The
Fund
had
slight
overweight
positions
in
the
industrials
and
information
technology
sectors
and
maintained
slight
underweights
in
financials
and
consumer
discretionary
stocks.
From
a
geographical
perspective,
the
Fund
had
slight
overweight
positions
to
South
Africa
and
Brazil
and
maintained
underweights
to
India
and
China.

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
Since
inception
(August
18,
2020)
through
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
MSCI
EAFE
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
Overall,
the
Fund
performed
well
in
a
volatile
market
environment.
Global
equities
had
solid
performance,
hitting
new
highs
in
the
second
half
of
2020
amid
accommodative
policy
support
and
improving
macroeconomic
data.
However,
the
overall
rise
overshadowed
changes
in
market
leadership.
Notably,
following
positive
news
on
COVID-19
vaccine
development,
momentum
styles
experienced
their
sharpest
drawdown
since
the
global
financial
crisis,
after
having
driven
market
gains
to
that
point.
As
investors
brought
forward
expectations
for
a
robust
economic
rebound,
they
increasingly
sought
out
contrarian
investing
opportunities.
Later
in
the
period,
global
equities
regained
their
upward
momentum,
driven
by
reflationary
trends
and
bolstered
by
accelerated
vaccine
rollouts
and
sustained
policy
support.
This
ultimately
benefited
styles
focusing
on
reflationary
trends,
especially
within
the
energy
and
financials
sectors,
as
value
outperformed
growth
and
momentum.
Also,
volatility
rose
in
stocks
in
which
smart-money
hedge
funds
had
positions,
particularly
in
January,
as
several
common
hedge
fund
short
positions
attracted
strong
trading
activity
from
retail
investors.
The
biggest
contributors
to
the
Fund's
relative
performance
were
sentiment-based
insights
that
were
able
to
position
the
portfolio
correctly
across
the
ever-changing
market
backdrop.
Specifically,
an
insight
designed
to
combine
signals
and
data
sources
optimally
was
additive.
This
insight
motivated
an
overweight
to
retail
stocks,
boosting
performance
as
economies
reopened.
Other
higher-frequency
trend-based
measures
also
drove
outperformance.
Collectively,
the
combination
of
online,
transactional,
and
mobile
application-based
activity
correctly
positioned
the
Fund
during
earnings
season
as
economies
reopened.
The
Fund's
environmental,
social
and
governance
(“ESG”)
related
measures
had
mixed
performance.
Risk
mitigation
insights
that
evaluated
company
controversies
and
cyber-defense
aided
gains.
These
insights
helped
motivate
overweight
positions
in
select
machinery
stocks,
which
contributed
to
performance
as
economies
reopened
and
production
levels
recovered
from
shutdowns.
The
Fund's
fundamental
measures
were
also
contributors.
Value-based
measures
notably
performed
well
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
amid
reflationary
market
trends.
Traditional
measures
like
comparing
book
values
to
stock
prices
supported
Fund
performance.
Despite
the
Fund's
outperformance,
however,
there
were
measures
that
detracted
from
relative
returns
during
the
period.
Among
ESG-related
measures,
select
insights
related
to
human
capital
that
evaluate
employee
sentiment
dragged
on
performance.
Other
measures
came
under
pressure
as
2021
began,
as
they
proved
overly
defensive
in
an
environment
that
favored
risk
taking.
This
was
especially
evident
across
environmental
insights,
which
ran
against
the
prevailing
preference
for
value
stocks.
From
a
geographical
standpoint,
an
overweight
to
Denmark
that
was
motivated
by
"green"
stimulus-related
measures
was
a
top
detractor
from
performance.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
Over
the
course
of
the
period,
the
Fund
maintained
a
balanced
allocation
of
risk
across
all
major
return
drivers.
There
were,
however,
several
new
signals
added
within
the
stock
selection
model.
For
instance,
the
Fund
built
on
its
alternative
data
capabilities
by
adding
an
insight
that
captures
brand
sentiment
toward
retail
names.
Additionally,
given
the
dynamic
nature
of
the
current
market
environment,
the
Fund
instituted
enhanced
signal
constructs
to
identify
emerging
trends
such
as
sentiment
around
vaccine
development
and
its
impact
on
economic
reopening.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
Relative
to
the
benchmark,
the
Fund
ended
the
period
with
largely
neutral
positioning
from
a
sector
perspective.
The
Fund
had
slight
overweight
positions
in
the
industrials
and
information
technology
sectors
and
maintained
slight
underweights
in
utilities
and
communication
services
stocks.
From
a
geographical
perspective,
the
Fund
had
slight
overweight
positions
to
Netherlands
and
France
and
maintained
underweights
to
Spain
and
Italy.

Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
Since
inception
(May
27,
2020)
to
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index
(“ACWI”).
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund’s
positive
performance
was
attributable
to
a
broad
set
of
impact
themes,
specifically
public
health,
green
energy
and
financial
inclusion.
Five
holdings
in
the
financial
inclusion
theme—Square,
Inc.,
360
Digitech,
Inc.,
MercadoLibre,
Inc.,
Safaricom
PLC
and
PT
Bank
Rakyat
Indonesia
Tbk—were
among
the
top
contributors.
The
first
four
were
well
positioned
to
service
both
individuals
and
small
businesses
that
were
in
need
of
digitalized
financial
solutions,
scalability
and
access
during
the
pandemic.
Bank
Rakyat,
a
microlending
institution,
rallied
strongly
off
of
its
May
2020
low
before
giving
back
some
of
its
gains
toward
the
end
of
the
period.
Nuance
Communications,
Inc.
stood
out
as
the
strongest
performer
in
both
the
public
health
theme
and
the
portfolio
as
a
whole.
The
healthcare-focused
software
provider
performed
strongly
2020
and
further
extended
its
gains
after
Microsoft
Corp.
announced
its
acquisition
of
the
company
in
April
2021.
Among
green
energy
companies,
Vestas
Wind
Systems
A/S—which
benefited
benefiting
from
the
long-term
trend
towards
a
net-zero
economy—led
performance.
The
public
health
theme
detracted
from
relative
performance.
A
holding
in
the
online
Medicare
Advantage
broker
group
eHealth,
Inc.
detracted
the
most
amid
weakening
investor
sentiment.
In
addition,
shares
of
Teva
Pharmaceutical
Industries,
Ltd.
slumped
due
to
mounting
litigation
concerns.
Atlantic
Sapphire
ASA,
which
seeks
to
deliver
salmon
to
the
U.S.
market
in
an
environmentally
friendly
way,
was
a
key
detractor
in
the
sustainable
food
and
water
theme.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
investment
adviser
either
trimmed
or
exited
positions
where
stock
prices
exceeded
their
price
targets.
This
activity
was
most
notable
in
the
renewable
energy
industry,
which
faced
headwinds
from
rising
interest
rates
and
valuation
concerns.
However,
the
investment
adviser
believes
long-term
trends
in
the
industry
remain
intact
due
to
an
increased
focus
on
green
energy
and
a
net-zero
future
by
governments,
companies
and
individuals.
The
investment
adviser
sought
to
maintain
a
well-balanced
style
exposure
by
adding
cyclical
stocks
through
the
financial
inclusion,
digitization
and
affordable
housing
themes.
The
Fund
maintained
its
largest
weighting
in
the
public
health
theme
on
the
belief
that
many
of
the
key
health
care
trends
that
occurred
in
2020
are
set
to
continue
or
perhaps
even
accelerate.
This
includes
the
continued
transition
toward
value-based
care
arrangements
in
the
United
States
from
traditional
volume-based
care,
increased
interest
in
precision
medicine
and
targeted
therapies,
and
a
general
focus
on
increasing
the
quality
of
care
while
decreasing
costs.
The
investment
adviser
continued
to
observe
a
positive
structural
trend
within
the
sustainable
food
theme.
The
global
food
system
needs
to
double
its
production
by
2050,
while
simultaneously
developing
less
carbon-intensive
methods.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
investment
adviser
maintains
a
favorable
view
on
the
United
States,
as
well
as
countries
with
high
sales
exposure
to
the
United
States,
due
to
the
increasing
likelihood
that
a
sweeping
set
of
infrastructure
spending
proposals
could
pass
the
U.S.
Congress.
The
investment
adviser
continues
to
search
for
underappreciated
drivers
of
long-term
returns.
It
seeks
to
use
its
deep
engagements
and
partnerships
with
portfolio
companies
to
learn
more
about
their
strategic
directions
and
to
uncover
business
risks
that
could
arise
from
macro
events.
The
investment
adviser
strives
to
understand
the
strong
links
between
impact
outcomes
and
company
performance,
while
using
engagement
to
identify
new
ways
of
advancing
these
outcomes.

Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
Since
inception
(June
30,
2020)
to
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index
ex
USA.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund’s
positive
performance
was
attributable
to
broad
base
of
impact
themes,
including
green
energy;
efficiency,
electrification
&
digitization;
and
financial
inclusion.
In
the
financial
inclusion
category,
360
Digitech,
Inc.,
Safaricom
PLC
and
MercadoLibre,
Inc.
were
top
performers.
The
companies
were
well
positioned
to
service
both
individuals
and
small
businesses
that
were
in
need
of
digitalized
financial
solutions,
scalability
and
access
during
the
pandemic.
Among
green
energy
companies,
Vestas
Wind
Systems
A/S
and
LONGi
Green
Energy
Technology
Co.
Ltd.
led
performance.
Wuxi
Lead
Intelligent
Equipment
Co.,
Ltd.
and
Samsung
SDI,
Ltd.,
two
major
electric
vehicle
battery
equipment
makers,
were
top
performers
in
efficiency,
electrification
&
digitization.
Both
companies
benefited
from
the
positive
impact
of
the
long-term
trend
toward
a
net-zero
economy.
Teva
Pharmaceutical
Industries,
Inc.,
which
continued
to
face
mounting
litigation
concerns,
was
the
largest
detractor
in
the
public
health
theme.
Atlantic
Sapphire
ASA,
which
seeks
to
deliver
salmon
to
the
U.S.
market
in
an
environmentally
friendly
way,
was
a
key
detractor
in
the
sustainable
food
and
water
theme.
Jinyu
Bio-Technology
Co.,
Ltd.,
a
Chinese
biopharmaceutical
company
focused
on
animal
health,
was
an
additional
detractor
as
a
long-awaited
vaccine
has
yet
to
clear
clinical
trials.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
investment
adviser
either
trimmed
or
exited
positions
where
stock
prices
exceeded
their
price
targets.
This
activity
was
most
notable
in
the
renewable
energy
industry,
which
faced
headwinds
from
rising
interest
rates
and
valuation
concerns.
However,
the
investment
adviser
believes
long-term
trends
in
the
industry
remain
intact
due
to
an
increased
focus
on
green
energy
and
a
net-zero
future
by
governments,
companies
and
individuals.
The
investment
adviser
sought
to
maintain
a
well-balanced
style
exposure
by
adding
cyclical
stocks
through
the
financial
inclusion,
digitization
and
affordable
housing
themes.
The
investment
adviser
continued
to
observe
a
positive
structural
trend
within
the
sustainable
food
theme.
The
global
food
system
needs
to
double
its
production
by
2050,
while
simultaneously
developing
less
carbon-intensive
methods.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
investment
adviser
maintains
a
favorable
view
on
the
United
States,
as
well
as
countries
with
high
sales
exposure
to
the
United
States,
due
to
the
increasing
likelihood
that
a
sweeping
set
of
infrastructure
spending
proposals
could
pass
the
U.S.
Congress.
The
investment
adviser
continues
to
search
for
underappreciated
drivers
of
long-term
returns.
It
seeks
to
use
its
deep
engagements
and
partnerships
with
portfolio
companies
to
learn
more
about
their
strategic
directions
and
to
uncover
business
risks
that
could
arise
from
macro
events.
The
investment
adviser
strives
to
understand
the
strong
links
between
impact
outcomes
and
company
performance,
while
using
engagement
to
identify
new
ways
of
advancing
these
outcomes.
The

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
For
the
12-month
reporting
period
ended
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
underperformed
its
reference
benchmark
(75%
Bloomberg
Barclays
U.S.
1-3
Year
Treasury
Bond
Index/25%
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index
(“ACWI”).
For
the
same
period,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
cash
benchmark,
the
ICE
BofA
3-Month
U.S.
Treasury
Bill
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund’s
relative
value
positions
across
developed
market
bonds
detracted
from
performance.
A
relative
underweight
in
European
bonds
versus
Australian
and
Canadian
bonds
hurt
performance
late
in
the
period,
as
Europe
outperformed
amid
a
sharp
increase
in
nominal
yields
worldwide.
Thematic
macro
views
were
a
key
contributor
to
performance.
A
short
position
in
the
U.S.
dollar
against
a
basket
of
developed
market
currencies
(primarily
the
Euro)
boosted
returns,
as
did
longs
in
global
equities
and
shorts
in
U.S.
and
German
bonds.
In
equities,
the
Fund
was
positioned
for
economic
reopening.
Long
positions
in
retail
and
energy
stocks
versus
short
positions
in
technology
and
healthcare
contributed
to
results,
as
did
an
outright
long
in
global
equities
given
the
significant
recovery
in
the
stock
market.
During
the
period,
the
Fund
used
derivatives
as
an
efficient
means
to
take
active
views
on
interest
rates,
equity
indices
and
currencies.
The
derivatives
used
included
equity
index
and
sovereign
bond
futures,
total
return
swaps,
interest
rate
swaps
and
currency
forward
contracts.
These
positions
make
up
a
significant
portion
of
the
portfolio
given
the
Fund’s
investment
approach
of
trading
interest
rates,
equity
indices
and
currencies
across
global
markets.
The
use
of
derivatives
instead
of
physical
instruments
had
a
negative
impact
on
the
Fund’s
returns.
The
Fund
also
held
an
elevated
allocation
to
cash
as
collateral
for
derivative
positions
and
as
a
means
of
earning
a
modest
yield.
The
cash
position
did
not
have
a
material
impact
on
performance
for
the
period.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
Fund
began
the
period
with
a
net
long
in
stocks
and
a
net
short
in
bonds,
based
on
the
belief
that
the
gradual
resumption
of
activity
following
the
initial
COVID-19
outbreak
represented
a
strong
tailwind
for
global
equities.
In
addition,
the
investment
adviser
believed
massive
monetary
and
fiscal
stimulus
across
the
world
would
support
stocks
but
keep
bond
yields
at
extreme
lows.
The
Fund
maintained
this
high-level
positioning
over
the
period,
but
with
some
changes
to
its
regional
allocations.
In
equities,
the
Fund
began
the
period
with
long
positions
in
Asia
ex-Japan
and
Europe
and
short
positions
in
Japan
and
the
emerging
markets.
The
Fund
subsequently
moved
to
a
short
in
North
America
and
a
long
in
Japan
early
in
the
period.
In
late
2020,
the
Fund
increased
its
overall
long
in
equities,
moving
to
a
long
in
North
America
and
adding
exposure
to
Japan
and
the
emerging
markets
based
on
expectations
that
renewed
consumer
spending
and
the
distribution
of
COVID-19
vaccines
would
lead
to
further
upside.
The
Fund
maintained
this
sizable
long
position
before
trimming
overall
equity
exposure
to
a
more
modest
long
in
April
2021
in
response
to
the
market’s
strong
performance.
The
Fund
moved
to
a
short
in
Asia
ex-Japan,
but
it
maintained
longs
in
Japan,
North
America,
Europe
and
the
emerging
markets
at
the
close
of
the
period.
The
Fund
moved
further
short
in
fixed
income.
This
positioning
was
driven
by
a
significant
short
in
Europe,
where
growth
continued
to
firm
but
increased
inflationary
pressures
appeared
to
be
underappreciated
by
the
market.
The
Fund
also
initiated
a
modest
short
in
U.S.
bonds
in
the
third
quarter
2020
and
generally
maintained
this
stance
for
the
rest
of
the
period.
The
Fund
held
modest
long
positions
in
emerging
market
and
Asia
ex-Japan
bonds
(specifically
Australia),
before
moving
to
a
roughly
neutral
stance
on
the
emerging
markets
by
the
end
of
the
period.
In
currencies,
the
Fund
maintained
a
short
in
the
U.S.
dollar
versus
a
developed
market
basket
(primarily
the
euro,
but
also
the
Canadian
dollar,
Australian
dollar
and
Japanese
yen).
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
Fund
ended
April
2021
net
long
in
equities
and
net
short
in
bonds
on
the
view
that
the
current
cyclical
recovery
has
scope
to
continue
given
the
historic
levels
of
policy
support
and
easing
of
COVID-19
restrictions.
While
inflation
is
bouncing
back,
there
is
no
evidence
yet
of
broad-based
overheating
despite
a
continued
rise
in
annual
inflation
rates.

Portfolio
Management
Commentary
How
did
the
Fund
perform?
Since
inception
(June
30,
2020)
to
April
30,
2021,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Russell
Midcap
®
Index.
What
factors
influenced
performance?
The
Fund’s
positive
performance
is
attributable
to
a
broad
set
of
impact
themes,
specifically
public
health,
sustainable
food
&
water
and
financial
inclusion.
Nuance
Communications,
Inc.
stood
out
as
the
strongest
performer
in
both
the
public
health
theme
and
the
portfolio
as
a
whole.
The
healthcare-focused
software
provider
performed
strongly
2020
and
further
extended
its
gains
after
Microsoft
Corp.
announced
its
acquisition
of
the
company
in
April
2021.
Square,
Inc.
was
a
top
performer
among
financial
inclusion
companies.
Square
was
well
positioned
to
service
both
individuals
and
small
businesses
that
were
in
need
of
digitalized
financial
solutions,
scalability
and
access
during
the
pandemic.
Within
sustainable
food
&
water,
the
agri-food
company
Darling
Ingredients,
Inc.
and
the
water-technology
provider
Xylem
Inc.
were
top
performers.
The
public
health
theme
detracted
from
relative
performance.
The
online
Medicare
Advantage
broker
group
eHealth,
Inc.
detracted
the
most
amid
weakening
investor
sentiment.
Atlantic
Sapphire
ASA,
which
seeks
to
deliver
salmon
to
the
U.S.
market
in
an
environmentally
friendly
way,
was
a
key
detractor
in
the
sustainable
food
&
water
theme.
View,
Inc.,
a
manufacturer
of
Smart
Windows
for
both
commercial
building
and
residential
properties
that
falls
within
the
Fund’s
efficiency,
eElectrification
&
digitization
theme,
was
a
further
detractor
of
note.
Describe
recent
portfolio
activity.
The
investment
adviser
either
trimmed
or
exited
positions
where
stock
prices
exceeded
their
price
targets.
This
activity
was
most
notable
in
the
renewable
energy
industry,
which
faced
headwinds
from
rising
interest
rates
and
valuation
concerns.
However,
the
investment
adviser
believes
long-term
trends
in
the
industry
remain
intact
due
to
an
increased
focus
on
green
energy
and
a
net-zero
future
by
governments,
companies
and
individuals.
The
investment
adviser
sought
to
maintain
a
well-balanced
style
exposure
by
adding
cyclical
stocks
through
the
financial
inclusion,
digitization
and
affordable
housing
themes.
The
Fund
maintained
its
largest
weighting
in
the
public
health
theme
on
the
belief
that
many
of
the
key
health
care
trends
that
occurred
in
2020
are
set
to
continue
or
perhaps
even
accelerate.
This
includes
the
ongoing
transition
toward
value-based
care
arrangements
in
the
United
States
from
traditional
volume-based
care,
increased
interest
in
precision
medicine
and
targeted
therapies,
and
a
general
focus
on
increasing
the
quality
of
care
while
decreasing
costs.
The
investment
adviser
continued
to
observe
a
positive
structural
trend
within
the
sustainable
food
theme.
The
global
food
system
needs
to
double
its
production
by
2050,
while
simultaneously
developing
less
carbon-intensive
methods.
Describe
portfolio
positioning
at
period
end.
The
investment
adviser
retains
a
favorable
view
on
companies
that
it
believes
are
well
positioned
to
benefit
from
the
sweeping
set
of
infrastructure
spending
proposals
likely
to
pass
Congress.
These
include
companies
within
the
green
energy
and
efficiency,
electrification
&
digitization
themes.
The
investment
adviser
continues
to
search
for
underappreciated
drivers
of
long-term
returns.
It
seeks
to
use
its
deep
engagements
and
partnerships
with
portfolio
companies
to
learn
more
about
their
strategic
directions
and
to
uncover
business
risks
that
could
arise
from
macro
events.
The
investment
adviser
strives
to
understand
the
strong
links
between
impact
outcomes
and
company
performance,
while
using
engagement
to
identify
new
ways
of
advancing
these
outcomes.
The
views
expressed

of

Tactical
Opportunities
Fund's
Class
K
Shares,
performance
shown
prior
to
the
Class
K
Shares
inception
date
of
August
1,
2016
is
that
of
Investor
A
Shares,
excluding
any
front-end
sales
charges,
which
are
not
applicable
to
Class
K
Shares.
The
performance
of
the
BlackRock
Tactical
Opportunities
Fund's
Class
K
Shares
would
be
substantially
similar
to
Investor
A
Shares
because
Class
K
Shares
and
Investor
A
Shares
invest
in
the
same
portfolio
of
securities
and
performance
would
only
differ
to
the
extent
that
Class
K
Shares
and
Investor
A
Shares
have
different
expenses.
The
actual
returns
of
Class
K
Shares
would
have
been
higher
than
those
of
the
Investor
A
Shares
because
Class
K
Shares
have
lower
expenses
than
the
Investor
A
Shares.
Service
Shares
(available
only
in
BlackRock
Tactical
Opportunities
Fund)

subject
to
any

of
0.25%
per

and

Investor
A
Shares
are
subject
to
a
maximum
initial
sales
charge
(front-end
load)
of 
5.25%
and
a
service
fee
of
0.25%
per
year
(but
no
distribution
fee).
Certain
redemptions
of
these
shares
may
be
subject
to
a

where
no
initial

the
time
of

if

one
year
of

In
addition,
these
shares
are
subject
to
a

fee
of

%
per

and
a

These
shares
automatically
convert
to
Investor

Shares
after
approximately eight
years.
Past
performance
is
not
an
indication
of
future
results.
Financial
markets
have
experienced
extreme
volatility
and
trading
in
many
instruments
has
been
disrupted.
These
circumstances
may
continue
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
and
may
continue
to
affect
adversely
the
value
and
liquidity
of
the
fund's
investments.
As
a
result,
current
performance
may
be
lower
or
higher
than
the
performance
data
quoted.
Refer
to
blackrock.com 
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
the
performance
table(s)
on the
previous
page(s)
assume
reinvestment
of
all
distributions,
if
any,
at
net
asset
value
("NAV")
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
payable
date,
as
applicable.
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. 
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
"Manager”),
each
Fund's
investment
adviser,
has
contractually
and/or
voluntarily
agreed
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
a
portion
of
each
Fund’s
expenses.
Without
such
waiver(s)
and/or
reimbursement(s),
each
Fund's
performance
would
have
been
lower.
With
respect
to
each
Fund's
voluntary
waiver(s),
if
any,
the
Manager
is
under
no
obligation
to
waive
and/or
reimburse
or
to
continue
waiving
and/or
reimbursing
its
fees
and
such
voluntary
waiver(s)
may
be
reduced
or
discontinued
at
any
time. With
respect
to
each
Fund's
contractual
waiver(s),
if
any,
the
Manager
is
under
no
obligation
to
continue
waiving
and/or
reimbursing
its
fees
after
the
applicable
termination
date
of
such agreement.
See
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
for
additional
information
on
waivers
and/or
reimbursements. 
Disclosure
of
Expenses
Shareholders
of
each
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(a)
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges;
and
(b)
operating
expenses,
including
investment
advisory
fees,
administration
fees,
service
and
distribution
fees,
including
12b-1
fees,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses, and
other
fund
expenses.
The
expense
examples
on
the
previous
pages
(which are
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
on November
1,
2020 and
held
through
April
30,
2021)
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
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
23
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.

100
ORGANIZATION 
BlackRock
Funds
SM
 (the
“Trust”)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company.
The
Trust
is
organized
as
a
Massachusetts
business
 trust.
The
following
,
each
of
which
is
a
series
of
the
Trust,
 are
referred
to
herein
collectively
as
the
“Funds”
or
individually
as
a
“Fund”:
Each
Fund
offers
multiple
classes
of
shares.
All
classes
of
shares
have
identical
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights
and
are
subject
to
the
same
terms
and
conditions,
except
that
certain
classes
bear
expenses
related
to
the
shareholder
servicing
and
distribution
of
such
shares.
Institutional,
Service
and
Class K
Shares
are
sold
only
to
certain
eligible
investors.
Service,
Investor
A
and
Investor
C
Shares
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
shareholder
servicing
of
such
shares,
and
Investor
C
Shares
also
bear
certain
expenses
related
to
the
distribution
of
such
shares.
Investor
A
and
Investor
C
Shares
are
generally
available
through
financial
intermediaries.
Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
with
respect
to
matters
relating
to
its
shareholder
servicing
and
distribution
expenditures
(except
that
Investor C
shareholders
may
vote
on
material
changes
to
the
Investor
A
Shares
distribution
and

plan).
(a)
Investor
A
Shares
may
be
subject
to
a
contingent
deferred
sales
charge
(“CDSC”)
for
certain
redemptions
where
no
initial
sales
charge
was
paid
at
the
time
of
purchase.
(b)
A
CDSC
of
1.00%
is
assessed
on
certain
redemptions
of
Investor

The
Funds,
together
with
certain
other
registered
investment
companies
advised
by
BlackRock
Advisors,
LLC
(the
"Manager") or
its
affiliates,
are

index
and
money

referred

as
the
BlackRock
Multi-Asset
Complex.
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
dates.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates
at
fair
value.
Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
dates
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Funds
are
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
dates.
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.
Income,
expenses
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
relative
net
assets. 
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:
The
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
in
which
each
Fund
invests.
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

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

categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
April
30,
2021
,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Funds
file
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Funds
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction's
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The
Statements
of
Operations
includes
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes.
Segregation
and
Collateralization:
In
cases
where a
Fund
enters
into
certain
investments
(e.g.,
futures
contracts,
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
and
swaps)
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.
Doing
so
allows
the
investment
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:
Distributions
paid
by
the
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
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.  
Organization
and
Offering
Costs:
Upon
commencement
of
operations,
organization
costs
associated
with
the
establishment
of
the
Funds
were
expensed
by
the
Funds
and
reimbursed
by
the
Manager.
The
Manager
reimbursed
the
Funds
the
following
amounts,
which
are
included
in
fees
waived
and/or
reimbursed
by
the
Manager
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
Offering
costs
are
amortized
over
a
12-month
period
beginning
with
the
commencement
of
operations
of
a
class
of
shares.
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
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
that
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Funds
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Funds
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
their
relative
net
assets
or
other
appropriate
methods.
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. 
INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
 Each
Fund's
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
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
Trust
(the
“Board”).
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
the
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.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
each
Fund’s
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
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.
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

Certain

may
be
valued
based
on
valuation

at
fair
value,
which
is
ordinarily
based
upon
their

ownership
in
the

or
trade price
on
the

where
the
contract
is
traded. 
Forward

(e.g.,
a
market

occur
that
are
expected
to

in
the
event
that application
of

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
investments
in
equity
or
debt
issued
by
privately
held
companies
or
funds
(“Private
Company”
or
collectively,
the
“Private
Companies”)
and
other
Fair
Valued
Investments,
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
limited
to,
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
company.
Such
investments
often
contain
rights
and
preferences
that
differ
from
other
series
of
preferred
and
common
stock
of
the
same
issuer.
Enterprise
valuation
techniques
such
as
an
option
pricing
model
(“OPM”),
a
probability
weighted
expected
return
model
(“PWERM”),
current
value
method or
a
hybrid
of
those
techniques
are
used,
as
deemed
appropriate
under
the
circumstances.
The
use
of these
valuation 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
sale
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.

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
April
30,
2021,
certain
investments
of
Global
Impact,
International
Impact,
Tactical
Opportunities
and
U.S.
Impact
were
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. 
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. 
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 a
Fund
to
make
future
cash
payments. 
As
of
April
30,
2021,
Global
Impact
had
outstanding
commitments
of
$135,350.
These
commitments
are
not
included
in
the
net
assets
of
Global
Impact
as
of
April
30,
2021
.
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

Annual

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.
Any
non-cash
collateral
received
cannot
be
sold,
re-invested
or
pledged
by
the
Fund,
except
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
securities
on
loan,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Funds’
Schedules
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
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.
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 the
Funds
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
— The
Funds
may 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.
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
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.

Securities
Lending:
The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“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
investment
expenses”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
private
investment
company,
SL
Liquidity
Series,
LLC,
Money
Market
Series (the
"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
investment
adviser
to
the
Money
Market
Series
will
not
charge
any
advisory
fees
with
respect
to
shares
purchased
by
the
Funds.
The
Money
Market
Series
may,
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
a
90
day
period,
in
the
event
that
the
private
investment
company’s
weekly
liquid
assets
fall
below
certain
thresholds. The
Money
Market
Series
seeks
current
income
consistent
with
maintaining
liquidity
and
preserving
capital.
Although
the
Money
Market
Series
is
not
registered
under
the
1940
Act,
its
investments
may
follow
the
parameters
of
investments
by
a
money
market
fund
that
is
subject
to
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
Securities
lending
income
is
equal
to
the
total
of
income
earned
from
the
reinvestment
of
cash
collateral,
net
of
fees
and
other
payments
to
and
from
borrowers
of
securities,
and
less
the
collateral
investment
expenses.
Each
Fund
retains
a
portion
of
securities
lending
income
and
remits
a
remaining
portion
to
BIM
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.

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
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
each
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
jurisdiction. 
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the Funds
as
of
April
30,
2021,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements.
U.S.
GAAP
requires
that
certain
components
of
net
assets
be
adjusted
to
reflect
permanent
differences
between
financial
and
tax
reporting.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
NAVs
per
share.
As

the
following
permanent
differences
attributable

BANK
BORROWINGS 
The
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
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
2022
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
period ended
April
30,
2021,
the
Funds
did
not
borrow
under
the
credit
agreement.

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. 
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:
Investments
in
the
securities
of
issuers
domiciled
in
countries
with
emerging
capital
markets
involve
certain
additional
risks
that
do
not
generally
apply
to
investments
in
securities
of
issuers
in
more
developed
capital
markets,
such
as
(i)
low
or
nonexistent
trading
volume,
resulting
in
a
lack
of
liquidity
and
increased
volatility
in
prices
for
such
securities;
(ii)
uncertain
national
policies
and
social,
political
and
economic
instability,
increasing
the
potential
for
expropriation
of
assets,
confiscatory
taxation,
high
rates
of
inflation
or
unfavorable
diplomatic
developments;
(iii)
lack
of
publicly
available
or
reliable
information
about
issuers
as
a
result
of
not
being
subject
to
the
same
degree
of
regulatory
requirements
and
accounting,
auditing
and
financial
reporting
standards;
and
(iv)
possible
fluctuations
in
exchange
rates,
differing
legal
systems
and
the
existence
or
possible
imposition
of
exchange
controls,
custodial
restrictions
or
other
foreign
or
U.S.
governmental
laws
or
restrictions
applicable
to
such
investments.
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.
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
company,
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

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.
With
exchange-traded
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
each 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
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
substantial
amount
of
their
assets
in
issuers
located
in
a
single
country
or
a
limited
number
of
countries.
When a
Fund
concentrates its investments
in
this
manner,
it
assumes
the
risk
that
economic,
regulatory,
political
and
social
conditions
in
those
countries
may
have
a
significant
impact
on
their
investment
performance
and
could
affect
the
income
from,
or
the
value
or
liquidity
of,
the
Fund's
portfolio.
Foreign
issuers
may
not
be
subject
to
the
same
uniform
accounting,
auditing
and
financial
reporting
standards
and
practices
as
used
in
the
United
States.
Foreign
securities
markets
may
also
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
U.S.
securities
and
may
be
less
subject
to
governmental
supervision
not
typically
associated
with
investing
in
U.S.
securities.
Investment
percentages
in
specific
countries
are
presented
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments. 
Certain
Funds
invest a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
Europe
or
with
significant
exposure
to
European
issuers
or
countries.
The
European
financial
markets
have
recently
experienced
volatility
and
adverse
trends
due
to
concerns
about
economic
downturns
in,
or
rising
government
debt
levels
of,
several
European
countries.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Europe
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Funds’
investments. 
Responses
to
the
financial
problems
by
European
governments,
central
banks
and
others,
including
austerity
measures
and
reforms,
may
not
work,
may
result
in
social
unrest
and
may
limit
future
growth
and
economic
recovery
or
have
other
unintended
consequences.
Further
defaults
or
restructurings
by
governments
and
others
of
their
debt
could
have
additional
adverse
effects
on
economies,
financial
markets
and
asset
valuations
around
the
world.
In
addition,
the
United
Kingdom
has
withdrawn
from
the
European
Union,
and
one
or
more
other
countries
may
withdraw
from
the
European
Union
and/or
abandon
the
Euro,
the
common
currency
of
the
European
Union.
The
impact
of
these
actions,
especially
if
they
occur
in
a
disorderly
fashion,
is
not
clear
but
could
be
significant
and
far
reaching. 
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
Asia
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Asian
issuers
or
countries.
The
Asian
financial
markets
have
recently
experienced
volatility
and
adverse
trends
due
to
concerns
in
several
Asian
countries
regarding
monetary
policy,
government
intervention
in
the
markets,
rising
government
debt
levels
or
economic
downturns.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Asia
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Funds’
investments. 
Certain
Funds
invest
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
China
or
with
significant
exposure
to
Chinese
issuers
or
countries.
Investments
in
Chinese
securities,
including
certain
Hong
Kong-listed
securities,
involves
risks
specific
to
China.
China
may
be
subject
to
considerable
degrees
of
economic,
political
and
social
instability
and
demonstrates
significantly
higher
volatility
from
time
to
time
in
comparison
to
developed
markets.
Chinese
markets
generally
continue
to
experience
inefficiency,
volatility
and
pricing
anomalies
resulting
from
governmental
influence,
a
lack
of
publicly
available
information
and/or
political
and
social
instability.
Internal
social
unrest
or
confrontations
with
other
neighboring
countries
may
disrupt
economic
development
in
China
and
result
in
a
greater
risk
of
currency
fluctuations,
currency
non-
convertibility,
interest
rate
fluctuations
and
higher
rates
of
inflation.
Incidents
involving
China’s
or
the
region’s
security
may
cause
uncertainty
in
Chinese
markets
and
may
adversely
affect
the
Chinese
economy
and
the
Fund’s
investments.
Reduction
in
spending
on
Chinese
products
and
services,
institution
of
tariffs
or
other
trade
barriers,
or
a
downturn
in
any
of
the
economies
of
China’s
key
trading
partners
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
Chinese
economy.
In
addition,
measures
may
be
taken
to
limit
the
flow
of
capital
and/or
sanctions
may
be
imposed,
which
could
prohibit
or
restrict
the
ability
to
own
or
transfer
fund
assets
and
may
also
include
retaliatory
actions,
such
as
seizure
of
fund
assets.

LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority
announced
a phase
out of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”).
Although
many
LIBOR
rates
will
be
phased
out
by
the
end
of
2021,
a
selection
of
widely
used
USD
LIBOR
rates
will
continue
to
be
published
through
June
2023
in
order
to
assist
with
the
transition.
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.

statements
of
changes
in
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
periods
indicated
in
the
table
below,
and
the
related
notes.
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Funds
as
of
April
30,
2021,
and
the
results
of
their
operations,
the
changes
in
their
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
periods
indicated
in
the
table
below,
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
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
April
30,
2021,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

Statement
Regarding
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
In
compliance
with
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”),
BlackRock
Funds
SM
(“the
Trust”)
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”)
for
BlackRock
Advantage
ESG
Emerging
Markets
Equity
Fund,
BlackRock
Advantage
ESG
International
Equity
Fund,
BlackRock
Global
Impact
Fund,
BlackRock
International
Impact
Fund,
BlackRock
Tactical
Opportunities
Fund
and
BlackRock
U.S.
Impact
Fund
(the
“Funds”),
each
a
series
of
the
Trust,
which
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
of
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
met
on
November
10-11,
2020
(the
“Meeting”)
to
review
the
Program.
The
Board
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
Meeting,
the
Committee,
on
behalf
of
BlackRock,
provided
the
Board
with
a
report
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
the
management
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
Board
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.

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
August
19, 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
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.

reports,
Rule
30e-3
notices

accounts
at

address.
This
practice

is
intended

reduce
expenses

documents.

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 $2,032,000 and $1,984,000 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:
