Supplement dated March 10, 2022 (the “Supplement”)
to the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) as applicable,
for each series listed in Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E and Appendix F
(each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”)
The information in this Supplement updates information in, and should be read in conjunction with, each Fund’s Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, or SAI, as applicable.
The Index Provider for each Fund listed in Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E and Appendix F has removed Russian equity securities from each Fund’s underlying index as of March 9, 2022.
Effective immediately, each Fund’s Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, and SAI, as applicable, is amended as follows:
Change in the Funds’ “Summary of Principal Risks”
The last sentence in the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus for each Fund listed in Appendix A, Appendix C and Appendix F entitled “Tracking Error Risk” in the section entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
BFA EXPECTS THAT THE FUND WILL EXPERIENCE HIGHER TRACKING ERROR THAN IS TYPICAL FOR SIMILAR INDEX ETFS.
The following sentence is added to the end of the section entitled “Tracking Error Risk” in the section entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” in the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus for each Fund listed in Appendix B and Appendix D (except for HAWX):
BFA EXPECTS THAT THE FUND WILL EXPERIENCE HIGHER TRACKING ERROR THAN IS TYPICAL FOR SIMILAR INDEX ETFS.
The paragraph entitled “Risk of Investing in Russia” in the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” for the Fund in Appendix F is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Risk of Investing in Russia. Investing in Russian securities involves significant risks, including legal, regulatory, currency and economic
risks that are specific to Russia. In addition, investing in Russian securities involves risks associated with the settlement of portfolio transactions and loss of the Fund’s ownership rights in its portfolio securities as a result of the system of share registration and custody in Russia. Governments in the U.S. and many other countries have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and Russian corporate and banking entities. A number of jurisdictions may also institute broader sanctions on Russia, including banning Russia from global payments systems that facilitate cross-border payments. Additionally, Russia is alleged to have participated in state-sponsored cyberattacks against foreign companies and foreign governments. 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, including declines in its stock markets and the value of the ruble against the U.S. dollar, are impossible to predict, but could be significant. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or other actions (including cyberattacks and espionage) or resulting actual and threatened responses to such activity, including purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts or changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, sanctions, tariffs or cyberattacks on the Russian government, Russian companies, or Russian individuals, including politicians, may impact Russia’s economy and Russian issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. Actual and threatened responses to such military action may also impact the markets for certain Russian commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors of the Russian economy, and may likely have collateral impacts on such sectors globally.
The following is hereby added to the section of the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” for the Fund listed in Appendix E:

to the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) as applicable,
for each series listed in Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E and Appendix F
(each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”)
The information in this Supplement updates information in, and should be read in conjunction with, each Fund’s Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, or SAI, as applicable.
The Index Provider for each Fund listed in Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E and Appendix F has removed Russian equity securities from each Fund’s underlying index as of March 9, 2022.
Effective immediately, each Fund’s Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, and SAI, as applicable, is amended as follows:
Change in the Funds’ “Summary of Principal Risks”
The last sentence in the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus for each Fund listed in Appendix A, Appendix C and Appendix F entitled “Tracking Error Risk” in the section entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
BFA EXPECTS THAT THE FUND WILL EXPERIENCE HIGHER TRACKING ERROR THAN IS TYPICAL FOR SIMILAR INDEX ETFS.
The paragraph entitled “Risk of Investing in Russia” in the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “Summary of Principal Risks” for the Fund in Appendix F is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Risk of Investing in Russia. Investing in Russian securities involves significant risks, including legal, regulatory, currency and economic
risks that are specific to Russia. In addition, investing in Russian securities involves risks associated with the settlement of portfolio transactions and loss of the Fund’s ownership rights in its portfolio securities as a result of the system of share registration and custody in Russia. Governments in the U.S. and many other countries have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and Russian corporate and banking entities. A number of jurisdictions may also institute broader sanctions on Russia, including banning Russia from global payments systems that facilitate cross-border payments. Additionally, Russia is alleged to have participated in state-sponsored cyberattacks against foreign companies and foreign governments. 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, including declines in its stock markets and the value of the ruble against the U.S. dollar, are impossible to predict, but could be significant. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or other actions (including cyberattacks and espionage) or resulting actual and threatened responses to such activity, including purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts or changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, sanctions, tariffs or cyberattacks on the Russian government, Russian companies, or Russian individuals, including politicians, may impact Russia’s economy and Russian issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. Actual and threatened responses to such military action may also impact the markets for certain Russian commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors of the Russian economy, and may likely have collateral impacts on such sectors globally.
