iShares, Inc.

Supplement dated June 30, 2023 (the “Supplement”)

to the Summary Prospectus and the Prospectus,

each dated December 29, 2022, and the

Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”),

dated December 29, 2022 (as revised June 1, 2023),

for the iShares MSCI Global Min Vol Factor ETF (ACWV) (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 June 30, 2023:

Change in the Fund’s “Fees and Expenses”

The section of the Summary Prospectus and the 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.

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)1,2
Management Fees	Distribution and Service (12b‑1) Fees	Other Expenses3	Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
0.20%	None	0.00%	0.20%

¹ Operating expenses paid by BFA under the Investment Advisory Agreement exclude acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

² The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect current fees.

³ The amount rounded to 0.00%.

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:

1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$20	$64	$113	$255

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 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

If you have any questions, please call 1‑800‑iShares (1‑800‑474‑2737).
