Core Builder provides a sample of hypothetical model fund portfolios, based on varying degrees of market risk. The
hypothetical model fund portfolios are for illustrative purposes only, are provided as an educational tool, and are
not, and should not be relied upon as, an investment recommendation or as the primary basis for any investment
decisions. The hypothetical portfolios are not tailored to the investment objectives or needs of you or any other
investor. Prior to investing in any of the funds shown in any model portfolio, you should (i) consult with your financial
advisor to determine whether the specific funds are appropriate for you and, if so, how your investment plan should
be implemented, and (ii) consult with your tax advisor before taking any action that may have tax consequences.

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 the iShares ETF and BlackRock Fund prospectus pages. Read the prospectus carefully
before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

The factors upon which the hypothetical models are based, the asset allocation mix and the hypothetical model fund
portfolios may change at any time, and BlackRock will not notify you when such changes are made.
Following an asset allocation model to achieve diversification may not protect against market risk or loss of
principal. There can be no assurance that any Core Builder investment strategy will be successful. Past performance
does not guarantee future results.
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 or in concentrations of single
countries.
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.
Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. All
regulated investment companies are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders.

any compensation, is contained in the ETF's registration statement. Other conditions and fees may apply. See
