The sub-section entitled “Discretionary Incentive Compensation” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Fundamental Equities portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of the Fund and other accounts managed by the portfolio management team is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are:

 

Portfolio Manager      Benchmarks

Olivia Treharne, CFA

Molly Greenen, CFA

     70% MS_ACWNXUS / 30% LIBOR_3MO; 70% MSACWLDNET / 30% LIBOR_3MO Index; MSCI ACWI HIGH DIVIDEND YIELD — NET USD; MSCI All Country World Index (Net Total Return); MSCI All Country World Net TR Index; MSCI All Country World Net TR Index — in GBP; MSCI World Ex Japan Gross TR Index — in JPY.


A smaller element of portfolio manager discretionary compensation may include consideration of: financial results, expense control, profit margins, strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share, corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control, leadership, technology and innovation. These factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management and the relevant Chief Investment Officers.

The sub-section entitled “Portfolio Manager Beneficial Holdings” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

As of May 31, 2023, the dollar range of securities beneficially owned by each portfolio manager in the Fund is shown below:

 

Portfolio Manager

Olivia Treharne, CFA    $10,001-$50,000
Molly Greenen, CFA    $10,001-$50,000
