Supplement to Prospectus [Text Block] | rr_SupplementToProspectusTextBlock | iShares® iShares, Inc. Supplement dated December 16, 2022 (the “Supplement”) to the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”), each dated December 30, 2021 (as revised November 14, 2022), for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Multifactor ETF (EMGF) (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 following changes will take effect for the Fund on December 16, 2022: Change in the Fund’s “Fees and Expenses” The section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “Fees and Expenses” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will incur if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. The investment advisory agreement between iShares, Inc. (the “Company”) and BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) provides that BFA will pay all operating expenses of the Fund, except: (i) the management fees, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) taxes, (iv) expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions, (v) distribution fees or expenses, and (vi) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses. The Fund may incur “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.” Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the Fund’s pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by investing in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”). BFA, the investment adviser to the Fund, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees in an amount equal to the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, if any, attributable to investments by the Fund in other series of iShares Trust and the Company through December 31, 2026. The contractual waiver may be terminated prior to December 31, 2026 only upon written agreement of the Company and BFA. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. Annual Fund Operating Expenses (ongoing expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investments)1
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of owning shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 49% of the average value of its portfolio. If you have any questions, please call 1‑800‑iShares (1‑800‑474‑2737). iShares® is a registered trademark of BlackRock Fund Advisors and its affiliates.
