iShares, Inc.

Supplement dated March 29, 2019 (the “Supplement”)

to the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus, each dated December 28, 2018,

and Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”),

dated December 28, 2018 (as revised March 28, 2019),

for the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) (the “Fund”)

The information in this Supplement updates information in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and the SAI for the Fund.

The following changes will take effect for the Fund on or around May 29, 2019:

Current Underlying Index	New Underlying Index
MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index	MSCI Turkey IMI 25/50 Index

Change in the Fund’s “Principal Investment Strategies”

The first paragraph of the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “Principal Investment Strategies” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Turkey IMI 25/50 Index (the “Underlying Index”), which is designed to measure the performance of the large-, mid- and small-capitalization segments of the Turkish equity market. The Underlying Index consists of stocks traded primarily on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). A capping methodology is applied that limits the weight of any single issuer to a maximum of 25% of the Underlying Index. Additionally, the sum of the issuer that individually constitute more than 5% of the weight of the Underlying Index cannot exceed a maximum of 50% of the weight of the Underlying Index in the aggregate. As of February 28, 2019, a significant portion of the Underlying Index is represented by securities of companies in the consumer staples, financials and industrials industries or sectors. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time.

Change in the Fund’s “Summary of Principal Risks”

The section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” is amended to delete “Large-Capitalization Companies Risk” and “Materials Sector Risk” and add the following:

Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The consumer staples sector may be affected by, among other things, marketing campaigns, changes in consumer demands, government regulations and changes in commodity prices.

Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Compared to large-capitalization companies, mid-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.

Small-Capitalization Companies Risk. Compared to mid- and large-capitalization companies, small-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.
