What is a bond ETF?
A bond ETF is a collection of individual bonds that trades on exchange, making investing in bonds easy and transparent*, especially during periods of market volatility.
Why iShares bond ETFs?
Bond ETFs offer many of the same potential benefits as equity ETFs, but in a different asset class
1. COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE
iShares bond ETFs have outperformed more than half of their peers over the past 5 years.1
2. LOW COST
On average, iShares bond ETFs cost 78% less than active mutual funds.2
3. LIQUIDITY
Bond ETFs trade thousands of times through the day on the exchange while individual bonds may not trade daily.3
* ETFs generally disclose holdings on a daily basis.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com or www.blackrock.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions. Securities with floating or variable interest rates may decline in value if their coupon rates do not keep pace with comparable market interest rates. A fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall if most of the debt instruments held by the fund have floating or variable rates. There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid.
When comparing stocks or bonds and iShares Funds, it should be remembered that management fees associated with fund investments, like iShares Funds, are not borne by investors in individual stocks or bonds. The annual management fees of iShares Funds may be substantially less than those of most mutual funds. Buying and selling shares of iShares Funds will result in brokerage commissions. Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of iShares Fund shares through arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so.
International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments. These risks often are heightened for investments in emerging/developing markets, in concentrations of single countries or smaller capital markets. Narrowly focused investments, including REIT, mining, preferred stock, factor and floating rate note funds may be subject to higher volatility and risks specific to those sectors. The iShares Minimum Volatility ETFs may experience more than minimum volatility as there is no guarantee that the underlying index's strategy of seeking to lower volatility will be successful.
Investment in a fund of funds is subject to the risks and expenses of the underlying funds.
Index returns are for illustrative purposes only. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Important information regarding iShares ETFs
31ICRMH0920U-1329012-31/32
Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index and may have higher portfolio turnover than index funds.
A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. There can be no assurance that any fund's hedging transactions will be effective.
