Portfolio Characteristics

Equity Beta (3y) Beta is a measure of the tendency of securities to move with the market as a whole. A beta of 1 indicates that the security's price will move with the market. A beta less than 1 indicates the security tends to be less volatile than the market, while a beta greater than 1 indicates the security is more volatile than the market.<br/><br/>Calculated vs. S&P 500 as of Dec 31, 2019 0.17

Standard Deviation (3y) Standard deviation measures how dispersed returns are around the average. A higher standard deviation indicates that returns are spread out over a larger range of values and thus, more volatile. as of Dec 31, 2019 5.43%

12m Trailing Yield The yield an investor would have received if they had held the fund over the last twelve months assuming the most recent NAV. The 12-Month yield is calculated by assuming any income distributions over the past twelve months and dividing by the sum of the most recent NAV and any capital gain distributions made over the past twelve months. as of Jan 20, 2020 4.50%

30 Day SEC Yield A standard calculation of yield introduced by the SEC in order to provide fairer comparison among funds. This yield reflects the interest earned after deducting the fund's expenses during the most recent 30-day period by the average investor in the fund. Negative 30-Day SEC Yield results when accrued expenses of the past 30 days exceed the income collected during the past 30 days. as of Jan 20, 2020 4.19%

Weighted Avg Coupon The average coupon rate of the underlying bonds in the fund, weighted by each bond's face value. as of Jan 17, 2020 5.57%

Effective Duration Effective Duration measures the sensitivity of the price of a bond with or without embedded options to changes in interest rates, taking into account the likelihood of the bond being called, put and/or sunk prior to its final maturity date while incorporating after-tax impacts on the bond. The options-based duration model used by BlackRock employs certain assumptions and may differ from other fund complexes. Effective Duration is measured at the individual bond level, aggregated to the portfolio level, and adjusted for leverage, hedging transactions and non-bond holdings, including derivatives. as of Jan 17, 2020 8.04 yrs

Weighted Avg Maturity The average length of time to the repayment of principal for the securities in the fund. This metric considers the likelihood that bonds will be called or prepaid before the scheduled maturity date. as of Jan 17, 2020 12.84 yrs

Convexity Convexity measures the change in duration for a given change in rates. Positive convexity indicates that duration lengthens when rates fall and contracts when rates rise; negative convexity indicates that duration contracts when rates fall and increases when rates rise. as of Jan 17, 2020 0.64

Option Adjusted Spread The weighted average incremental yield earned over similar duration US Treasuries, measured in basis points. This metric considers the likelihood that bonds will be called or prepaid before the scheduled maturity date. as of Jan 17, 2020 264

Average Yield to Maturity The discount rate that equates the present value of a bond’s cash flows with its market price (including accrued interest). The Fund Average Yield to Maturity is the weighted average of the fund’s individual bond holding yields based on Net Asset Value (‘NAV’). The measure does not include fees and expenses. For callable bonds, this yield is the yield-to-worst. as of Jan 17, 2020 4.58%

Sustainability Characteristics

ESG metrics help investors evaluate companies based on environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities — and the companies’ ability to manage them. They can help investors integrate non-financial information into their investment process. Learn more.

MSCI ESG Rating The MSCI ESG Rating for funds is designed to measure the resiliency of portfolios to long-term ESG risks and opportunities. The most highly rated funds consist of issuers with leading or improving management of key ESG risks. The ESG Rating is calculated as a direct mapping of ESG Quality Scores to letter rating categories (e.g. AAA = 8.6-10). The ESG Ratings range from leader (AAA, AA), average (A, BBB, BB) to laggard (B, CCC). as of Jan 01, 2020 BB

MSCI ESG Quality Score The MSCI ESG Quality Score (0 - 10) for funds is calculated using the weighted average of the ESG scores of fund holdings. The Score also considers ESG Rating trend of holdings and the fund exposure to holdings in the laggard category. MSCI rates underlying holdings according to their exposure to 37 industry specific ESG risks and their ability to manage those risks relative to peers. These issuer-level ESG ratings correspond to an issuer-level ESG Score. as of Jan 01, 2020 3.2

MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Percentile The MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Percentile for funds is a percentile of funds in the same peer group, based on their ESG Quality Scores. as of Jan 01, 2020 51.67%

MSCI ESG % Coverage Percent by weight of a fund's holdings that have ESG Data. as of Jan 01, 2020 94.11%

Fund Lipper Global Classification The fund peer group as defined by the Lipper Global Classification. as of Jan 01, 2020 Bond Emerging Markets Global HC

MSCI Weighted Average Carbon Intensity
(Tons CO2E/$M SALES) The MSCI Weighted Average Carbon Intensity measures a fund's exposure to carbon intensive companies. This figure represents the estimated greenhouse gas emissions per $1 million in sales across the fund’s holdings. The figure is a sum of the normalized security weight multiplied by the security Carbon Intensity. This allows for comparisons between funds of different sizes. as of Jan 01, 2020 1,231.68

Fund Lipper Global Classification Size The number of funds used to calculate the MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Percentile. This is based on the Lipper Global Classification and reflects the funds that are in the MSCI ESG Fund Metrics coverage universe. as of Jan 01, 2020 329

All data is from MSCI ESG Fund Ratings as of Jan 01, 2020, based on holdings as of Oct 31, 2019.

For newly launched funds, sustainability characteristics are typically available 6 months after launch.

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% of the fund’s underlying holdings (excluding cash positions) must be covered by MSCI ESG Research, the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.

Inclusion of Sustainability Characteristics is not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, nor is it an implication that a fund employs an ESG-related portfolio management strategy.

Geographic exposure relates principally to the domicile of the issuers of the securities held in the product, added together and then expressed as a percentage of the product’s total holdings. However, in some instances it can reflect the location where the issuer of the securities carries out much of their business. Bonds are included in US bond indices when the securities are denominated in U.S. dollars regardless of the domicile of the issuer.

Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund are received from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and converted to the equivalent S&P major rating category. This breakdown is provided by BlackRock and takes the median rating of the three agencies when all three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two ratings if only two agencies rate a security, and one rating if that is all that is provided. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. Below investment-grade is represented by a rating of BB and below. Ratings and portfolio credit quality may change over time.

Allocations are subject to change.

It took 17 years for global bond ETF assets to reach $1 trillion. BlackRock believes assets will double, to $2 trillion, by 2024.

Price Yield Calculator

The calculator provides clients with an indication of an ETF's yield and duration for a given market price. The ACF Yield is the discount rate that equates the ETF's aggregate cash flows (i.e., the sum of the cash flows of the ETF's holdings) to a given ETF price. The cash flows are based on the yield to worst methodology in which a bond's cash flows are assumed to occur at the call date (if applicable) or maturity, whichever results in the lowest yield for that bond holding. For a given ETF price, this calculator will estimate the corresponding ACF Yield and spread to the relevant government reference security yield. Note that the ACF Yield will differ from the ETF's "Weighted Avg YTM For more information on Aggregate Cash Flow Yield, see info here. The Aggregate Cash Flow (“ACF”) Yield is the discount rate that equates the aggregate cash flows of the ETF's individual fund holdings (specifically the cash flows corresponding to the lower of the yield to call or yield to maturity of a given security) to a stated market price. In contrast, the weighted average yield to maturity is a market value weighted average of the yields of the ETF's individual holdings based on the prior day's net asset value. The ACF Yield allows an investor to compare the yield and spread for varying ETF market prices in order to help understand the impact of intraday market movements. The ACF of the ETF is the sum of the individual bond cash flows “to worst” (i.e. either to call or to maturity, whichever results in the lowest yield for the ETF). The ACF Yield does not make any adjustments based on the cost incurred to acquire an ETF or the impact of the ETF’s management fee.

Discount rate that equates the present value of the Aggregate Cash Flows using the yield to worst (i.e., the cash flows of the bond to the call date or maturity, whichever results in the lowest yield) for each individual bond holding.

Modified Duration The modified duration of the "to worst" aggregate cash flows of the fund based on the ACF yield and ETF market price. Unlike Effective Duration, the Modified Duration metric does not account for projected changes in the bond cash flows due to a change in interest rates.		7.98 years
Spread of ACF Yield (4.96%) over 10.00 yr Treasury Yield (1.84%) As of 01/17/20 is + 312 bps The difference of the calculated ACF Yield of the fund and the yield of the relevant U.S. Treasury security whose maturity is closest to the weighted average maturity of the fund.
