Semi-Annual
Report
(Unaudited)
Dear
Shareholder,
The
combination
of
continued
economic
growth
and
cooling
inflation
provided
a
supportive
backdrop
for
investors
during
the
12-month
reporting
period
ended
February
29,
2024.
Significantly
tighter
monetary
policy
helped
to
rein
in
inflation,
and
the
Consumer
Price
Index
decelerated
substantially
while
remaining
above
pre-pandemic
levels.
A
moderating
labor
market
helped
ease
inflationary
pressure,
although
wages
continued
to
grow.
Wage
and
job
growth
powered
robust
consumer
spending,
backstopping
the
economy.
On
October
7,
2023,
Hamas
launched
a
horrific
attack
on
Israel.
The
ensuing
war
will
have
a
significant
humanitarian
impact
and
could
lead
to
heightened
economic
and
market
volatility.
We
see
geopolitics
as
a
structural
market
risk
going
forward.
See
our
geopolitical
risk
dashboard
at
blackrock.com
for
more
details.
Equity
returns
were
robust
during
the
period,
as
interest
rates
stabilized
and
the
economy
proved
to
be
more
resilient
than
many
investors
expected.
The
U.S.
economy
continued
to
show
strength,
and
growth
further
accelerated
in
the
second
half
of
2023.
Large-capitalization
U.S.
stocks
posted
particularly
substantial
gains,
supported
by
the
performance
of
a
few
notable
technology
companies,
while
small-
capitalization
U.S.
stocks
advanced
at
a
significantly
slower
pace.
Meanwhile,
international
developed
market
equities
also
gained
strongly,
while
emerging
market
stocks
advanced
at
a
more
modest
pace.
The
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
yield
rose
during
the
reporting
period,
as
investors
reacted
to
elevated
inflation
and
attempted
to
anticipate
future
interest
rate
changes.
However,
higher
yields
drove
positive
returns
overall
for
10-year
U.S.
Treasuries
and
solid
gains
in
shorter-duration
U.S.
Treasuries.
The
corporate
bond
market
benefited
from
improving
economic
sentiment,
although
high-yield
corporate
bond
prices
fared
significantly
better
than
investment-grade
bonds
as
demand
from
yield-seeking
investors
remained
strong.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
attempting
to
manage
persistent
inflation,
raised
interest
rates
three
times
during
the
12-month
period,
but
paused
its
tightening
after
its
July
meeting.
The
Fed
also
continued
to
reduce
its
balance
sheet
by
not
replacing
some
of
the
securities
that
reach
maturity.
Supply
constraints
appear
to
have
become
an
embedded
feature
of
the
new
macroeconomic
environment,
making
it
difficult
for
developed
economies
to
increase
production
without
sparking
higher
inflation.
Geopolitical
fragmentation
and
an
aging
population
risk
further
exacerbating
these
constraints,
keeping
the
labor
market
tight
and
wage
growth
high.
Although
the
Fed
has
stopped
tightening
for
now,
we
believe
that
the
new
economic
regime
means
that
the
Fed
will
need
to
maintain
high
rates
for
an
extended
period
despite
the
market’s
hopes
for
rapid
interest
rate
cuts,
as
reflected
in
the
recent
rally.
In
this
new
regime,
we
anticipate
greater
volatility
and
dispersion
of
returns,
creating
more
opportunities
for
selective
portfolio
management.
Looking
at
developed
market
stocks,
we
have
an
overweight
stance
on
U.S.
stocks
overall,
particularly
given
the
promise
of
emerging
AI
technologies.
We
are
also
overweight
Japanese
stocks
as
shareholder-
friendly
policies
generate
increased
investor
interest,
although
we
maintain
an
underweight
stance
on
European
stocks.
In
credit,
there
are
selective
opportunities
in
the
near
term
despite
tighter
credit
and
financial
conditions.
For
fixed
income
investing
with
a
six-
to
twelve-month
horizon,
we
see
the
most
attractive
investments
in
short-term
U.S.
Treasuries
and
hard-currency
emerging
market
bonds.
Overall,
our
view
is
that
investors
need
to
think
globally,
position
themselves
to
be
prepared
for
a
decarbonizing
economy,
and
be
nimble
as
market
conditions
change.
We
encourage
you
to
talk
with
your
financial
advisor
and
visit
iShares.com
for
further
insight
about
investing
in
today’s
markets.

Rob
Kapito

Investment
Objective
The
iShares
MSCI
USA
Equal
Weighted
ETF
(the
“Fund”)
seeks
to
track
the
investment
results
of
an
index
composed
of
equal
weighted
U.S.
equities,
as
represented
by
the
MSCI
USA
Equal
Weighted
Index
(the
“Index”).
The
Fund
invests
in
a
representative
sample
of
securities
included
in
the
Index
that
collectively
has
an
investment
profile
similar
to
the
Index.
Due
to
the
use
of
representative
sampling,
the
Fund
may
or
may
not
hold
all
of
the
securities
that
are
included
in
the
Index.
Performance
Index
performance
through
August
31,
2015
reflects
the
performance
of
the
MSCI

Index.
Index
performance
beginning
on
September
1,
2015
reflects
the
performance
of
the
MSCI

Equal
Weighted
Index.
Past
performance
is
not
an
indication
of
future
results.
Performance

that
a
shareholder
would
pay
on

About
Fund
Performance/Disclosure
of
Expenses
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.
Performance
data
current
to
the
most
recent
month-end
is
available
at
iShares.com
.
Performance
results
assume
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
capital
gain
distributions
and
do
not
reflect
the
deduction
of
taxes
that
a
shareholder
would
pay
on
fund
distributions
or
on
the
redemption
or
sale
of
fund
shares.
The
investment
return
and
principal
value
of
shares
will
vary
with
changes
in
market
conditions.
Shares
may
be
worth
more
or
less
than
their
original
cost
when
they
are
redeemed
or
sold
in
the
market.
Performance
for
certain
funds
may
reflect
a
waiver
of
a
portion
of
investment
advisory
fees.
Without
such
a
waiver,
performance
would
have
been
lower.
Net
asset
value
or
“NAV”
is
the
value
of
one
share
of
a
fund
as
calculated
in
accordance
with
the
standard
formula
for
valuing
mutual
fund
shares.
Beginning
August
10,
2020,
the
price
used
to
calculate
market
return
(“Market
Price”)
is
the
closing
price.
Prior
to
August
10,
2020,
Market
Price
was
determined
using
the
midpoint
between
the
highest
bid
and
the
lowest
ask
on
the
primary
stock
exchange
on
which
shares
of
a
fund
are
listed
for
trading,
as
of
the
time
that
such
fund’s
NAV
is
calculated.
Market
and
NAV
returns
assume
that
dividends
and
capital
gain
distributions
have
been
reinvested
at
Market
Price
and
NAV,
respectively.
An
index
is
a
statistical
composite
that
tracks
a
specified
financial
market
or
sector.
Unlike
a
fund,
an
index
does
not
actually
hold
a
portfolio
of
securities
and
therefore
does
not
incur
the
expenses
incurred
by
a
fund.
These
expenses
negatively
impact
fund
performance.
Also, index
returns
do
not
include
brokerage
commissions
that
may
be
payable
on
secondary
market
transactions.
If
brokerage
commissions
were
included, index
returns
would
be
lower.
Disclosure
of Expenses
Shareholders
of
the
Fund
may
incur
the
following
charges:
(1)
transactional
expenses,
including
brokerage
commissions
on
purchases
and
sales
of
fund
shares
and
(2)
ongoing
expenses,
including
management
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
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
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
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
the Period.”
The
expense
example
also
provides
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 the
Fund
and
other
funds,
compare
the
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
The
expenses
shown
in
the
expense
example
are
intended
to
highlight
shareholders’
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
expenses,
such
as
brokerage
commissions
and
other
fees
paid
on
purchases
and
sales
of
fund
shares.
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.

2.
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. Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
at
fair
value. Dividends
from
foreign
securities
where
the
ex-dividend
date
may
have
passed
are
subsequently
recorded
when
the
Fund
is
informed
of
the
ex-dividend
date.
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
or
as
estimated
by
management,
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.
Foreign
Taxes:
The
Fund
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
the
Fund
invests.
These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
the
Fund
and
are
reflected
in
its
Statement
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
are
presented
as
“Other
foreign
taxes”,
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
(loss)
categories.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
as
of
February
29,
2024,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Fund
files
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Fund
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction’s
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The
Statement
of
Operations
includes
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes.
Collateralization:
If
required
by
an
exchange
or
counterparty
agreement,
the
Fund
may
be
required
to
deliver/deposit
cash
and/or
securities
to/with
an
exchange,
or
broker-
dealer
or
custodian
as
collateral
for
certain
investments.
In-kind
Redemptions:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
Fund.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
Fund
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
Fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the Fund’s
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share.
Distributions:
Dividends
and
distributions
paid
by the
Fund
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
dates.
Distributions
are
determined
on
a
tax
basis
and
may
differ
from
net
investment
income,
and net
realized
capital
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Dividends
and
distributions
are
paid
in
U.S.
dollars
and
cannot
be
automatically
reinvested
in
additional
shares
of
the
Fund.
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.
3.
Investment
Valuation
and
Fair
Value
Measurements
Investment
Valuation
Policies:
The
Fund’s
investments
are
valued
at
fair
value
(also
referred
to
as
“market
value”
within
the
financial
statements)
each
day
that
the
Fund’s
listing
exchange
is
open
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.
The
Board
of Directors of
the
Company (the
“Board”) of
the
Fund
has
approved
the
designation
of
BlackRock
Fund
Advisors
(“BFA”),
the
Fund’s
investment
adviser, as
the
valuation
designee
for
the
Fund.
The
Fund
determines
the
fair
values
of
its
financial
instruments
using
various
independent
dealers
or
pricing
services
under
BFA’s
policies.
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
BFA’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value.
BFA
has
formed
a
committee
(the
“Valuation
Committee”)
to
develop
pricing
policies
and
procedures
and
to
oversee
the
pricing
function
for
all
financial
instruments,
with
assistance
from
other
BlackRock
pricing
committees.

Fair
Value
Inputs
and
Methodologies:
The
following
methods
and
inputs
are
used
to
establish
the
fair
value
of
the
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
are
valued
at
the
last
traded
price.
Investments
in
open-end
U.S.
mutual
funds
(including
money
market
funds)
are
valued
at
that
day’s
published
NAV. 
Futures
contracts
are
valued
based
on
that
day’s
last
reported
settlement
or
trade
price
on
the
exchange
where
the
contract
is
traded. 
If
events
(e.g.,
market
volatility,
company
announcement
or
a
natural
disaster)
occur
that
are
expected
to
materially
affect
the
value
of
such
investment,
or
in
the
event
that
application
of
these
methods
of
valuation
results
in
a
price
for
an
investment
that
is
deemed
not
to
be
representative
of
the
market
value
of
such
investment,
or
if
a
price
is
not
available,
the
investment
will
be
valued
by
the
Valuation
Committee,
in
accordance
with BFA’s
policies
and
procedures
as
reflecting
fair
value
(“Fair
Valued
Investments”).
The
fair
valuation
approaches
that
may
be
used
by
the
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
Valuation
Committee
seeks
to
determine
the
price
that the
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
Valuation
Committee
deems
relevant
and
consistent
with
the
principles
of
fair
value
measurement.
Fair
value
pricing
could
result
in
a
difference
between
the
prices
used
to
calculate
a
fund’s
NAV
and
the
prices
used
by
the
fund’s
underlying
index,
which
in
turn
could
result
in
a
difference
between
the
fund’s
performance
and
the
performance
of
the
fund’s
underlying
index.
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
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
Valuation
Committee
in
determining
the
price
for
Fair
Valued
Investments.
Level
3
investments
include
equity
or
debt
issued
by
privately
held
companies
or
funds
that
may
not
have
a
secondary
market
and/or
may
have
a
limited
number
of
investors.
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
Securities
Lending:
The
Fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers,
such
as
brokers,
dealers
and
other
financial
institutions.
The
borrower
pledges
and
maintains
with
the
Fund
collateral
consisting
of
cash,
an
irrevocable
letter
of
credit
issued
by
an
approved
bank,
or
securities
issued
or
guaranteed
by
the
U.S.
government.
The
initial
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
required
to
have
a
value
of
at
least
102%
of
the
current
market
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
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
is
returned
by
the
Fund,
on
the
next
business
day.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
is
entitled
to
all
distributions
made
on
or
in
respect
of
the
loaned
securities
but
does
not
receive
interest
income
on
securities
received
as
collateral.
Loans
of
securities
are
terminable
at
any
time
and
the
borrower,
after
notice,
is
required
to
return
borrowed
securities
within
the
standard
time
period
for
settlement
of
securities
transactions.
As
of
period
end,
any
securities
on
loan
were
collateralized
by
cash
and/or
U.S.
Government
obligations.
Cash
collateral
invested
in
money
market
funds
managed
by BFA,
or
its
affiliates
is
disclosed
in
the
Schedule
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
also
disclosed
in
the
Fund’s Schedule
of
Investments.
The
market
value
of
any
securities
on
loan
and
the
value
of
any
related
cash
collateral
are
disclosed
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
lending
transactions
are
entered
into
by
the
Fund
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
Fund,
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 Fund
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.

Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
As
of
period
end,
the
following
table
is
a
summary
of
the
securities
on
loan
by
counterparty
which
are
subject
to
offset
under
an
MSLA:
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
Fund
benefits
from
a
borrower
default
indemnity
provided
by
BlackRock,
Inc.
(“BlackRock”).
BlackRock’s
indemnity
allows
for
full
replacement
of
the
securities
loaned
to
the
extent
the
collateral
received
does
not
cover
the
value
of
the
securities
loaned
in
the
event
of
borrower
default.
The
Fund
could
incur
a
loss
if
the
value
of
an
investment
purchased
with
cash
collateral
falls
below
the
market
value
of
the
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
Fund.
5.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
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
Fund
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
Fund
is
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
deposited
as
initial
margin
are
designated
in
the
Schedule
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited,
if
any,
are
shown
as
cash
pledged
for
futures
contracts
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Pursuant
to
the
contract,
the
Fund
agrees
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
the
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
in
the
Statement
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.

ETF
Servicing
Fees:
The
Fund
has
entered
into
an
ETF
Services
Agreement
with
BRIL
to
perform
certain
order
processing,
Authorized
Participant
communications,
and
related
services
in
connection
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units
(“ETF
Services”).
BRIL
is
entitled
to
a
transaction
fee
from
Authorized
Participants
on
each
creation
or
redemption
order
for
the
ETF
Services
provided.
The
Fund
does
not
pay
BRIL
for
ETF
Services. 
Securities
Lending:
The
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
“SEC”)
has
issued
an
exemptive
order
which
permits
BlackRock
Institutional
Trust
Company,
N.A.
(“BTC”),
an
affiliate
of
BFA,
to
serve
as
securities
lending
agent
for
the
Fund,
subject
to
applicable
conditions.
As
securities
lending
agent,
BTC
bears
all
operational
costs
directly
related
to
securities
lending,
including
any
custodial
costs.
The
Fund
is
responsible
for
fees
in
connection
with
the
investment
of
cash
collateral
received
for
securities
on
loan
(the
“collateral
investment
fees”).
The
cash
collateral
is
invested
in
a
money
market
fund,
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Institutional
or
BlackRock
Cash
Funds:
Treasury,
managed
by
BFA,
or
its
affiliates.
However,
BTC
has
agreed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
securities
lending
income
it
receives
in
order
to
effectively
limit
the
collateral
investment
fees the
Fund
bears
to
an
annual
rate
of
0.04%.
The
SL
Agency
Shares
of
such
money
market
fund
will
not
be
subject
to
a
sales
load,
distribution
fee
or
service
fee.
The
money
market
fund
in
which
the
cash
collateral
has
been
invested
may,
under
certain
circumstances,
impose
a
liquidity
fee
of
up
to
2%
of
the
value
redeemed
or
temporarily
restrict
redemptions
for
up
to
10
business
days
during
a
90
day
period,
in
the
event
that
the
money
market
fund’s
weekly
liquid
assets
fall
below
certain
thresholds.
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

The

retains
a
portion
of
securities
lending
income
and
remits
the
remaining
portion
to
BTC
as
compensation
for
its
services
as
securities
lending
agent.
Pursuant
to
the
current
securities
lending
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
81%
of
securities
lending

(which
excludes
collateral
investment
fees)
and

retained
can
never
be

Tax
Information
The
Fund
is
treated
as
an
entity
separate
from
the
Company’s
other
funds
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
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.  
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the
Fund
as
of
February

2024,
inclusive
of

that

the
Fund
had
non-expiring
capital
loss
carryforwards available
to
offset
future
realized
capital

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
or
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.
BFA
uses
an
indexing
approach
to
try
to
achieve
the
Fund’s
investment
objective.
The
Fund
is
not
actively
managed,
and
BFA
generally
does
not
attempt
to
take
defensive
positions
under
any
market
conditions,
including
declining
markets.
The
Fund
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.
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
a
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. 
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
BFA
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.
A
derivative
contract
may
suffer
a
mark-to-market
loss
if
the
value
of
the
contract
decreases
due
to
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
market
rates
or
values
of
the
underlying
instrument.
Losses
can
also
occur
if
the
counterparty
does
not
perform
under
the
contract.
With
exchange-traded
futures, there
is
less
counterparty
credit
risk
to
the
Fund
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
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
Fund.
Geographic/Asset
Class
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
securities
of
issuers
located
in
the
United
States.
A
decrease
in
imports
or
exports,
changes
in
trade
regulations,
inflation
and/or
an
economic
recession
in
the
United
States
may
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
securities
listed
on
U.S.
exchanges.
Proposed
and
adopted
policy
and
legislative
changes
in
the
United
States
may
also
have
a
significant
effect
on
U.S.
markets
generally,
as
well
as
on
the
value
of
certain
securities.
Governmental
agencies
project
that
the
United
States
will
continue
to
maintain
elevated
public
debt
levels
for
the
foreseeable
future
which
may
constrain

Circumstances
could
arise
that
could
prevent
the
timely
payment
of
interest
or
principal
on
U.S.
government
debt,
such
as
reaching
the
legislative
“debt
ceiling.”
Such
non-payment
would
result
in
substantial
negative
consequences
for
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
global
financial
system.
If
U.S.
relations
with
certain
countries
deteriorate,
it
could
adversely
affect
issuers
that
rely
on
the
United
States
for
trade.
The
United
States
has
also
experienced
increased
internal
unrest
and
discord.
If
these
trends
were
to
continue,
they
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
U.S.
economy
and
the
issuers
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
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.

Capital
Share
Transactions 
Capital
shares
are
issued
and
redeemed
by the
Fund
only
in
aggregations
of
a
specified
number
of
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation
Units”)
at
NAV.
Except
when
aggregated
in
Creation
Units,
shares
of
the
Fund
are
not
redeemable.
Transactions
in
capital
shares
were
as
follows:
The
consideration
for
the
purchase
of
Creation
Units
of
a
fund
in
the
Company
generally
consists
of
the
in-kind
deposit
of
a
designated
portfolio
of
securities
and
a
specified
amount
of
cash.
Certain
funds
in
the
Company
may
be
offered
in
Creation
Units
solely
or
partially
for
cash
in
U.S.
dollars.
Investors
purchasing
and
redeeming
Creation
Units
may
pay
a
purchase
transaction
fee
and
a
redemption
transaction
fee
directly
BRIL,
to
offset
transfer
and
other
transaction
costs
associated
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units,
including
Creation
Units
for
cash.
Investors
transacting
in
Creation
Units
for
cash
may
also
pay
an
additional
variable
charge
to
compensate
the
relevant
fund
for
certain
transaction
costs
(i.e.,
stamp
taxes,
taxes
on
currency
or
other
financial
transactions,
and
brokerage
costs)
and
market
impact
expenses
relating
to
investing
in
portfolio
securities.
Such
variable
charges,
if
any,
are
included
in
shares
sold
in
the
table
above.
From
time
to
time,
settlement
of
securities
related
to
in-kind
contributions
or
in-kind
redemptions
may
be
delayed.
In
such
cases,
securities
related
to
in-kind
transactions
are
reflected
as
a
receivable
or
a
payable
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

(unaudited)
24
2024
iShares
Semi-Annual
Report
to
Shareholders
In
compliance
with
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”),
iShares,
Inc.
(the
“Company”)
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”)
for iShares
MSCI
USA
Equal
Weighted
ETF
(the
“Fund”
or
“ETF”),
a
series
of
the
Company,
which
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage the
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Board
of
Directors
(the
“Board”)
of
the
Company,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
met
on
December
8,
2023
(the
“Meeting”)
to
review
the
Program.
The
Board
previously
appointed
BlackRock
Fund
Advisors
(“BlackRock”),
the
investment
adviser
to
the
Fund,
as
the
program
administrator
for the
Fund’s
Program.
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
the
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,
2022
through
September
30,
2023
(the
“Program
Reporting
Period”).
The
Report
described
the
Program’s
liquidity
classification
methodology
for
categorizing the
Fund’s
investments
(including
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
buckets.
It
also
referenced
the
methodology
used
by
BlackRock
to
establish the Fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
Committee
reviews
and
ratifies
the
HLIM
assigned
to
the Fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
The
Report
also
discussed
notable
events
affecting
liquidity
over
the
Program
Reporting
Period,
including
extended
market
holidays,
delays
in
the
repatriation
of
the
local
currency
in
certain
non-U.S.
countries,
the
continued
illiquidity
of
Russian
equity
securities
and
the
suspension
of
select
sanctions
in
Venezuela.
The
Report
noted
that
the
Program
complied
with
the
key
factors
for
consideration
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
for
assessing,
managing
and
periodically
reviewing
the
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
as
follows:
a)
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
the
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.
Derivative
exposure
was
also
considered
in
the
calculation
of
a
fund’s
liquidity
bucketing.
Finally,
a
factor
for
consideration
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
is
a
Fund’s
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes.
However,
the
Fund
does
not
borrow
for
investment
purposes.
b)
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
redemption
activity
and
used
this
information
as
a
component
to
establish
each
ETF’s
reasonably
anticipated
trading
size
utilized
for
liquidity
classifications.
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.
c)
Holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
borrowing
arrangements.
The
Committee
considered
that
ETFs
generally
do
not
hold
more
than
de
minimis
amounts
of
cash.
The
Committee
also
considered
that
ETFs
generally
do
not
engage
in
borrowing.
d)
The
relationship
between
an
ETF’s
portfolio
liquidity
and
the
way
in
which,
and
the
prices
and
spreads
at
which,
ETF
shares
trade,
including
the
efficiency
of
the
arbitrage
function
and
the
level
of
active
participation
by
market
participants,
including
authorized
participants.
The
Committee
monitored
the
prevailing
bid/ask
spread
and
the
ETF
price
premium
(or
discount)
to
NAV
for
all
ETFs.
However,
there
were
no
ETFs
with
persistent
deviations
of
fund
premium/
discount
or
bid/ask
spreads
from
long-term
averages
over
the
Program
Reporting
Period.
e)
The
effect
of
the
composition
of
baskets
on
the
overall
liquidity
of
an
ETF’s
portfolio.
In
reviewing
the
linkage
between
the
composition
of
custom
baskets
accepted
by
an
ETF
and
any
significant
change
in
the
liquidity
profile
of
such
ETF,
the
Committee
reviewed
changes
in
the
proportion
of
each
ETF’s
portfolio
comprised
of
less
liquid
and
illiquid
holdings
to
determine
if
applicable
thresholds
were
met
requiring
enhanced
review.
There
were
no
ETFs
for
which
the
custom
baskets
accepted
by
the
ETF
had
a
significant
change
in
its
liquidity
profile.
There
were
no
material
changes
to
the
Program
during
the
Program
Reporting
Period
other
than
the
enhancement
of
certain
model
components
in
the
Program’s
classification
methodology.
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.
