Dear
Shareholder,
The
12-month
reporting
period
as
of
March
31,
2022
saw
a
continuation
of
the
resurgent
growth
that
followed
the
initial
coronavirus
(or
“COVID-19”)
pandemic
reopening,
albeit
at
a
slower
pace.
The
global
economy
weathered
the
emergence
of
several
variant
strains
and
the
resulting
peaks
and
troughs
in
infections
amid
optimism
that
increasing
vaccinations
and
economic
adaptation
could
help
contain
the
pandemic’s
disruptions.
However,
rapid
changes
in
consumer
spending
led
to
supply
constraints
and
elevated
inflation.
Moreover,
while
the
foremost
effect
of
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
has
been
a
severe
humanitarian
crisis,
the
invasion
has
presented
challenges
for
both
investors
and
policymakers.
Equity
prices
were
mixed,
as
persistently
high
inflation
drove
investors’
expectations
for
higher
interest
rates,
which
particularly
weighed
on
relatively
high
valuation
growth
stocks
and
economically
sensitive
small-
capitalization
stocks.
Overall,
small-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
declined,
while
large-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
posted
a
strong
advance.
International
equities
from
developed
markets
gained
slightly,
although
emerging
market
stocks
declined,
pressured
by
rising
interest
rates
and
a
strengthening
U.S.
dollar.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
(which
is
inversely
related
to
bond
prices)
rose
during
the
reporting
period
as
the
economy
expanded
rapidly
and
inflation
reached
its
highest
annualized
reading
in
decades.
The
corporate
bond
market
also
faced
inflationary
headwinds,
although
the
improving
economy
assuaged
credit
concerns
and
high-yield
corporate
bonds
consequently
declined
less
than
investment-grade
corporate
bonds.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
acknowledging
that
inflation
is
growing
faster
than
expected,
raised
interest
rates
in
March
2022,
the
first
increase
of
this
business
cycle.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
wound
down
its
bond-buying
programs
and
raised
the
prospect
of
reversing
the
flow
and
reducing
its
balance
sheet.
Continued
high
inflation
and
the
Fed’s
new
tone
led
many
analysts
to
anticipate
that
the
Fed
will
continue
to
raise
interest
rates
multiple
times
throughout
the
year.
Looking
ahead,
however,
the
horrific
war
in
Ukraine
has
significantly
clouded
the
outlook
for
the
global
economy,
leading
to
major
volatility
in
energy
and
metal
markets.
Sanctions
on
Russia,
Europe’s
top
energy
supplier,
and
general
wartime
disruption
are
likely
to
drive
already-high
commodity
prices
even
higher.
Sharp
increases
in
energy
prices
will
exacerbate
inflationary
pressure
while
also
constraining
economic
growth.
Combating
inflation
without
stifling
a
recovery,
while
buffering
against
ongoing
supply
and
price
shocks
amid
the
ebb
and
flow
of
the
pandemic,
will
be
an
especially
challenging
environment
for
setting
effective
monetary
policy.
Despite
the
likelihood
of
more
rate
increases
on
the
horizon,
we
believe
the
Fed
will
err
on
the
side
of
protecting
employment,
even
at
the
expense
of
higher
inflation.
In
this
environment,
we
favor
an
overweight
to
equities,
as
valuations
have
become
more
attractive
and
inflation-adjusted
interest
rates
remain
low.
Sectors
that
are
better
poised
to
manage
the
transition
to
a
lower-
carbon
world,
such
as
technology
and
health
care,
are
particularly
attractive
in
the
long
term.
We
favor
U.S.
equities
due
to
strong
earnings
momentum,
while
Japanese
equities
should
benefit
from
supportive
monetary
and
fiscal
policy.
We
are
underweight
credit
overall,
but
inflation-protected
U.S.
Treasuries,
Asian
fixed
income,
and
emerging
market
local-currency
bonds
offer
potential
opportunities
for
additional
yield.
We
believe
that
international
diversification
and
a
focus
on
sustainability
and
quality
can
help
provide
portfolio
resilience.
Overall,
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

For

Period
Ended

2022
BlackRock
Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
4
During
the
12-month
period
ended
March
31,
2022,
economic
conditions
in
the
United
States
vastly
improved.
The
unemployment
rate
fell
from
6%
in
March
2021
to
3.6%
in
March
2022
and
real
gross
domestic
product
increased
at
an
annual
rate
of
6.9%
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
Several
key
barometers
indicated
that
inflation
had
risen
and
was
elevated
throughout
the
reporting
period.
The
U.S.
Consumer
Price
Index
reflected
an
annual
increase
of
7.9%
in
February
2022,
the
highest
rate
reported
in
four
decades.
At
the
December
2021
meeting,
the
Federal
Open
Market
Committee
(the
“FOMC”
or,
the
“Committee”)
elected
to
double
the
monthly
pace
of
reduction
of
its
asset
purchases
of
U.S.
Treasury
and
agency
mortgage-backed
securities
to
$20
billion
and
$10
billion,
respectively.
During
its
March
2022
meeting,
the
FOMC
raised
the
range
for
the
Federal
Funds
target
rate
for
the
first
time
since
December
2018
from
0.00%
-
0.25%
to
0.25%
-
0.50%.
St.
Louis
Federal
Reserve
President
James
Bullard
dissented
in
favor
of
a
0.50%
increase
in
the
target
range.
Prior
to
this,
the
range
for
the
Federal
Funds
target
rate
had
been
0.00%
0.25%
since
the
FOMC
slashed
rates
March
2020.
In
a
statement
released
in
conjunction
with
the
meeting,
the
Committee
acknowledged
the
“tremendous
human
and
economic
hardship”
from
the
full-scale
invasion
of
Ukraine
by
Russia
and
the
“highly
uncertain”
implications
of
the
crisis
for
the
U.S.
economy.
According
to
the
updated
“dot
plot,”
the
median
Federal
Funds
rate
forecast
accompanying
the
meeting,
the
FOMC
penciled
in
a
total
of
seven
rate
hikes
over
the
balance
of
2022,
with
an
additional
three
to
four
hikes
in
2023,
and
no
additional
hikes
in
2024.
Such
actions,
if
realized,
would
bring
the
median
Federal
Funds
rate
above
the
Committee’s
“longer
run”
estimate
of
the
neutral
level
of
the
Federal
Funds
rate
(or
the
theoretical
rate
that
neither
stimulates
nor
restrains
economic
growth).
In
a
separate
implementation
note,
the
Fed
raised
both
the
interest
rate
on
overnight
excess
reserves
and
the
offering
rate
on
overnight
reverse
repurchase
agreements
(“RRP”)
by
0.25%
to
0.40%
and
0.30%,
respectively,
thereby
maintaining
the
current
yield
differential
between
these
rates
of
0.10%.
Daily
utilization
of
the
Fed’s
RRP
facility
surged
following
the
first
adjustment
in
the
program’s
offering
rate
in
June
2021,
averaging
over
$1.3
trillion
per
day
for
the
remainder
of
the
period.
On
December
31,
2021,
the
RRP
facility
hit
an
all-time
high
with
a
balance
of
over
$1.9
trillion
and
reported
a
balance
of
$1.87
trillion
on
March
31,
2022.
As
of
March
31,
2022,
U.S.
Treasury
bill
(“T-bill”)
tenors
between
one-month
and
one-year
traded
between
0.13%
and
1.61%.
For
reference,
T-bills
of
the
same
tenors
traded
between
0.01%
and
0.06%
as
of
March
31,
2021.
Rates
continuously
trended
higher
in
late
2021
into
2022
with
persistently
higher-than-expected
inflation
prints
and
market
expectations
of
an
increasingly
hawkish
Fed.
The
money
market
curve
steepened
throughout
the
period
and
reflected
anticipations
of
a
more
aggressive
Fed
on
March
31,
2022.
The
three-month
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(“LIBOR”)
increased
from
0.20%
to
0.96%
at
the
end
of
the
period
while
12-month
LIBOR
increased
from
0.28%
to
2.10%.
The
three-month
LIBOR
Overnight
Indexed
swap
spread
(“L-OIS”)
-
a
gauge
of
stress
in
the
financial
system
moved
in
a
range
of
0.00%
-
0.43%
and
averaged
0.09%
for
the
12-month
period
ended
March
31,
2022.
L-OIS
began
and
ended
the
period
at
0.13%
and
0.23%,
respectively.
With
respect
to
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
portfolio
positioning
as
of
March
31,
2022
expressed
our
outlook
for
a
more
aggressive
shift
in
monetary
policy
by
the
Fed
and
higher
interest
rates
over
the
coming
months.
With
a
portfolio
weighted
average
maturity
below
neutral
at
25
days,
the
Fund
remains
well
positioned
to
capitalize
on
additional
rate
hikes
and
subsequent
repricing.
The
32%
allocation
to
floating-rate
securities
provides
a
hedge
against
rising
rates,
allowing
the
Fund
to
immediately
see
the
benefits
of
another
rate
hike.

BlackRock

(the

investment
objective
is
to
seek
as
high

consistent
with
liquidity
and
preservation

Expense
Example
See
“Disclosure
of
Expenses”
for
further
information
on
how
expenses
were
calculated.
Disclosure
of
Expenses
Shareholders
of
the
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(a)
transactional
expenses;
and
(b)
operating
expenses,
including
investment
advisory
fees, administration
fees,
service
and
distribution
fees,
and
other
fund
expenses.
The
expense
example
shown
(which
is
based
on
a
hypothetical
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
(or
from
the
commencement
of
operations
if
less
than
6
months)
and
held
through
the
end
of
the
period)
is
intended
to
assist
shareholders
both
in
calculating
expenses
based
on
an
investment
in
the
Fund
and
in
comparing
these
expenses
with
similar
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
expense
example
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
Annualized
expense
ratios
reflect
contractual
and
voluntary
fee
waivers,
if
any.
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 share
class
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the
Period.” 
The
expense
example
also
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on the
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
the
Fund
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds. 
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
example
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
transactional
expenses,
such
as
sales
charges,
if
any.
Therefore,
the
hypothetical
example is
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.

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.
The
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.
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.
Distributions:
Distributions
from
net
investment
income
are
declared
daily
and
paid
monthly.
Distributions
of
capital
gains
are
distributed
at
least
annually
and
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
The
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
Liquidity
Fees:
Any
liquidity
fees
imposed
on
the
value
of
shares
redeemed
in
the
event
that
the
Fund’s
weekly
liquid
assets
fall
below
certain
thresholds
are
recorded
as
paid-in-capital.
The
liquidity
fees
are
collected
and
retained
by
the
Fund
for
the
benefit
of the
Fund’s
remaining
interest
holders. 
Indemnifications:
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
that
provide
general
indemnification.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
because
it
involves
future
potential
claims
against
the
Fund,
which
cannot
be
predicted
with
any
certainty.
Other:
Expenses
directly
related
to the
Fund
or
its
classes
are
charged
to
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
class.
Expenses
directly
related
to
the
Fund
and
other
shared
expenses
prorated
to
the
Fund
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
based
on
its
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.  
The
Fund
has
an
arrangement
with
its
custodian
whereby
credits
are
earned
on
uninvested
cash
balances,
which
could
be
used
to
reduce
custody
fees
and/or
overdraft
charges.
The
Fund
may
incur
charges
on
overdrafts,
subject
to
certain
conditions.

INVESTMENT
VALUATION
AND
FAIR
VALUE
MEASUREMENTS 
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
U.S.
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
the
Fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
under
the
amortized
cost
method
which
approximates
current
market
value
in
accordance
with
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
Under
this
method,
investments
are
valued
at
cost
when
purchased
and,
thereafter,
a
constant
proportionate
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
are
recorded
until
the
maturity
of
the
security.
The
Fund
seeks
to
maintain
its
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share
at
$1.00,
although
there
is
no
assurance
that
it
will
be
able
to
do
so
on
a
continuing
basis.
Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
the
Fund’s
assets
and
liabilities: 
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
data
(e.g.,
recent
representative
bids
and
offers),
market
data, credit
quality
information,
perceived
market
movements,
news,
and
other
relevant
information.
Certain
fixed-income
securities,
including
asset-
backed
and
mortgage
related
securities
may
be
valued
based
on
valuation
models
that
consider
the
estimated
cash
flows
of
each
tranche
of
the
entity,
establish
a
benchmark
yield
and
develop
an
estimated
tranche
specific
spread
to
the
benchmark
yield
based
on
the
unique
attributes
of
the
tranche.
The
amortized
cost
method
of
valuation
may
be
used
with
respect
to
debt
obligations
with
sixty
days
or
less
remaining
to
maturity
unless
the
Manager
determines
such
method
does
not
represent
fair
value.
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
amortized
cost,
which
approximates
market
value. 
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
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access;
Level
2
Other
observable
inputs
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks
and
default
rates)
or
other
market–corroborated
inputs);
and 
Level
3 —
Unobservable
inputs
based
on
the
best
information
available
in
the
circumstances,
to
the
extent
observable
inputs
are
not
available
(including
the
BlackRock
Global
Valuation
Methodologies
Committee’s
(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.
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.
4.
SECURITIES
AND
OTHER
INVESTMENTS 
Repurchase
Agreements:
Repurchase
agreements
are
commitments
to
purchase
a
security
from
a
counterparty
who
agrees
to
repurchase
the
same
security
at
a
mutually
agreed
upon
date
and
price.
On
a
daily
basis,
the
counterparty
is
required
to
maintain
eligible
collateral
subject
to
the
agreement
and
in
value
no
less
than
the
agreed
upon
repurchase
amount.
Repurchase
agreements
may
be
traded
bilaterally,
in
a
tri-party
arrangement
or
may
be
centrally
cleared
through
a
sponsoring
agent.
Subject
to
the
custodial
undertaking
associated
with
a
tri-party
repurchase
arrangement
and
for
centrally
cleared
repurchase
agreements,
a
third-party
custodian
maintains
accounts
to
hold
collateral
for
a
fund
and
its
counterparties.
Typically,
a
fund
and
counterparty
are
not
permitted
to
sell,
re-pledge
or
use
the
collateral
absent
a
default
by
the
counterparty
or
the
fund,
respectively.
In
the
event
the
counterparty
defaults
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines,
a
fund
could
experience
losses,
delays
and
costs
in
liquidating
the
collateral.
Repurchase
agreements
are
entered
into
by
a
fund
under
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(each,
an
“MRA”).
The
MRA
permits
the
fund,
under
certain
circumstances
including
an
event
of
default
(such
as
bankruptcy
or
insolvency),
to
offset
payables
and/or
receivables
with
collateral
held
by
and/or
posted
to
the
counterparty.
As
a
result,
one
single
net
payment
is
created.
Bankruptcy
or
insolvency
laws
of
a
particular
jurisdiction
may
impose
restrictions
on
or
prohibitions
against
such
a
right
of
offset
in
the
event
of
the
MRA
counterparty’s
bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
Based
on
the
terms
of
the
MRA,
the
fund
receives
collateral
with
a
market
value
in
excess
of
the
repurchase
price
at
maturity.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
the
MRA
counterparty,
the
fund
would
recognize
a
liability
with
respect
to
such
excess
collateral.
The
liability
reflects
the
fund’s
obligation
under
bankruptcy
law
to
return
the
excess
to
the
counterparty.

INCOME
TAX
INFORMATION 
It
is
the
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. 
The
Fund
files
U.S.
federal
and
various
state
and
local
tax
returns.
No
income
tax
returns
are
currently
under
examination.
The
statute
of
limitations
on
the
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
the
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 Fund
as
of
March
31,
2022,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return

and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Fund's
financial
statements.
The
tax
character
of
distributions
paid
was

 PRINCIPAL
RISKS 
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
invests
in
securities
or
other
instruments
and
may
enter
into
certain
transactions,
and
such
activities
subject
the
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
Fund
and its
investments.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
provides
details
of
the
risks
to
which
the
Fund
is
subject. 
Certain
obligations
held
by
the
Fund
have
a
credit
enhancement
or
liquidity
feature
that
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
provide
for
repayment
of
principal
and
interest
on
the
obligation
when
due.
These
enhancements,
which
may
include
letters
of
credit,
stand-by
bond
purchase
agreements
and/or
third-party
insurance,
are
issued
by
financial
institutions.
The
value
of
the
obligations
may
be
affected
by
changes
in
creditworthiness
of
the
entities
that
provide
the
credit
enhancements
or
liquidity
features.
The
Fund
monitors
its
exposure
by
reviewing
the
creditworthiness
of
the
issuers,
as
well
as
the
financial
institutions
issuing
the
credit
enhancements
and
by
limiting
the
amount
of
holdings
with
credit
enhancements
from
one
financial
institution.
Market Risk
:
The
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
the
Fund
to
reinvest
in
lower
yielding
securities. The
Fund
may
also
be
exposed
to
reinvestment
risk,
which
is
the
risk
that
income
from
the
Fund’s
portfolio
will
decline
if
the Fund
invests
the
proceeds
from
matured,
traded
or
called
fixed-income
securities
at
market
interest
rates
that
are
below
the
Fund
portfolio’s
current
earnings
rate.
Municipal
securities
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
litigation,
legislation
or
other
political
events,
local
business
or
economic
conditions,
credit
rating
downgrades,
or
the
bankruptcy
of
the
issuer
could
have
a
significant
effect
on
an
issuer's
ability
to
make
payments
of
principal
and/or
interest
or
otherwise
affect
the
value
of
such
securities.
Municipal
securities
can
be
significantly
affected
by
political
or
economic
changes,
including
changes
made
in
the
law
after
issuance
of
the
securities,
as
well
as
uncertainties
in
the
municipal
market
related
to,
taxation,
legislative
changes
or
the
rights
of
municipal
security
holders,
including
in
connection
with
an
issuer
insolvency.
Municipal
securities
backed
by
current
or
anticipated
revenues
from
a
specific
project
or
specific
assets
can
be
negatively
affected
by
the
discontinuance
of
the
tax
benefits
supporting
the
project
or
assets
or
the
inability
to
collect
revenues
for
the
project
or
from
the
assets.
Municipal
securities
may
be
less
liquid
than
taxable
bonds,
and
there
may
be
less
publicly
available
information
on
the
financial
condition
of
municipal
security
issuers
than
for
issuers
of
other
securities.
An
outbreak
of
respiratory
disease
caused
by
a
novel
coronavirus
has
developed
into
a
global
pandemic
and
has
resulted
in
closing
borders,
quarantines,
disruptions
to
supply
chains
and
customer
activity,
as
well
as
general
concern
and
uncertainty.
The
impact
of
this
pandemic,
and
other
global
health
crises
that
may
arise
in
the
future,

could
affect
the
economies
of
many
nations,
individual
companies
and
the
market
in
general
in
ways
that
cannot
necessarily
be
foreseen
at
the
present
time.
This
pandemic
may
result
in
substantial
market
volatility
and
may
adversely
impact
the
prices
and
liquidity
of
a
fund's
investments.
Although
vaccines
have
been
developed
and
approved
for
use
by
various
governments,
the duration
of
this
pandemic
and
its
effects
cannot
be
determined
with
certainty.
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
The
Fund
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
Fund
manages
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
Fund
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks,
consist
principally
of
financial
instruments
and
receivables
due
from
counterparties.
The
extent
of
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
market,
issuer
and
counterparty
credit
risks
with
respect
to
these
financial
assets
is
approximately
their
value
recorded
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
less
any
collateral
held
by
the
Fund. 
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
the
Fund's
portfolio
are
disclosed
in
its Schedule
of
Investments.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
assets
in
fixed-income
securities
and/or
uses
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
Fund
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
due
to
the
current
period
of
historically
low
rates.
The
Fund
invests
a
significant
portion
of
its
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
as
well
as
acts
of
war
in
the
region.
These
events
may
spread
to
other
countries
in
Europe
and
may
affect
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
of
the
Fund’s
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.
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.
In
addition,
Russia
launched
a
large-scale
invasion
of
Ukraine
on
February
24,
2022.
The
extent
and
duration
of
the
military
action,
resulting
sanctions
and
resulting
future
market
disruptions
in
the
region
are
impossible
to
predict,
but
could
be
significant
and
have
a
severe
adverse
effect
on
the
region,
including
significant
negative
impacts
on
the
economy
and
the
markets
for
certain
securities
and
commodities,
such
as
oil
and
natural
gas,
as
well
as
other
sectors.
Significant
Shareholder
Redemption
Risk:
Certain
shareholders
may
own
or
manage
a
substantial
amount
of
fund
shares
and/or
hold
their
fund
investments
for
a
limited
period
of
time.
Large
redemptions
of
fund
shares
by
these
shareholders
may
force
a
Fund
to
sell
portfolio
securities,
which
may
negatively
impact
the
fund’s
NAV,
increase
the
fund’s
brokerage
costs,
and/or
accelerate
the
realization
of
taxable
income/gains
and
cause
the
fund
to
make
additional
taxable
distributions
to
shareholders.
LIBOR
Transition
Risk:
The
United
Kingdom’s
Financial
Conduct
Authority
announced
a phase
out of
LIBOR.
Although
many
LIBOR
rates
ceased
to
be
published
or
no
longer are
representative
of
the
underlying
market
they
seek
to
measure
after
December
31,
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
Fund
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
Fund
is
uncertain.

Report

To
the
Shareholders
of
BlackRock

Liquid
Environmentally

Fund
and
the
Board
of

of

Funds
SM
:
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
and
Financial
Highlights
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
BlackRock
Wealth
Liquid
Environmentally
Aware
Fund
of
BlackRock
Funds
SM
(the
“Fund”),
including
the
schedule
of
investments,
as
of
March
31,
2022,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
and
the
related
notes.
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
March
31,
2022,
and
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
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
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
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
Fund
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
Fund
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
its
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
Fund’s
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
March
31,
2022,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodians
or
counterparties;
when
replies
were
not
received,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics –
The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  During the period covered by this report, the code of ethics was amended to update certain information and to make other non-material changes.  During the period covered by this report, there have been no waivers granted under the code of ethics. The
registrant undertakes to provide a copy of the code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, who calls 1-800-441-7762.
Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Experts – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent:
 
Neil A. Cotty
Henry R. Keizer
Kenneth L. Urish
 
Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.  The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

The following table presents fees billed by D&T that were required to be approved by the registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) for services that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund and that are rendered on behalf of BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “BlackRock”) and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”):

$2,098,000
$2,032,000
1
The nature of the services includes assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements not included in Audit Fees, including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.
2
The nature of the services includes tax compliance and/or tax preparation, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, taxable income and tax distribution calculations.
3
Non-audit fees of $2,098,000 and $2,032,000 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:
 
Entity Name
Current Fiscal Year End
Previous Fiscal Year End
BlackRock Wealth Liquid Environmentally Aware Fund
$9,923
$13,500
             
              Additionally, the amounts billed by D&T in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of the Fund and of other funds sponsored and advised by BlackRock or its affiliates during the current and previous fiscal years for a service organization review and an accounting research tool subscription were:
Current Fiscal Year End
Previous Fiscal Year End
$2,098,000
$2,032,000
 
              These amounts represent aggregate fees paid by BlackRock and were not allocated on a per fund basis.
              (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and
the Affiliated Service Providers
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 6 – Investments

(a) The registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Stockholders filed under Item 1(a) of this Form.

Item 9 –  Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers – Not Applicable
