Supplement dated March 19, 2021 (the “Supplement”)

to the Summary Prospectus (the “Summary Prospectus”) and Prospectus (the “Prospectus”), each dated December 30, 2020 and Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”),

dated December 30, 2020 (as revised March 1, 2021),

for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Asia ETF (EEMA) (the “Fund”)

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

The Board of Directors of the Fund has approved the transfer of assets that are invested in India from the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) located in the Republic of Mauritius to the Fund through on-exchange transactions in India (the “Transfer”). While the Fund has historically carried out its investment strategies by investing substantially all of its assets invested in India through the Subsidiary, it will be eliminating its use of the Subsidiary and will invest in Indian securities directly. The Fund will incur transaction costs from the Transfer.

The Fund is expected to effect the Transfer during the second quarter of 2021. After the Transfer is completed, the Fund will make new investments in India directly.
