iShares ETFs
Generally, units/shares of iShares ETFs may only be created or redeemed directly from an iShares ETF by authorised participants (typically large institutional investors) in very large creation/redemption sizes. Other investors wishing to access iShares ETFs may do so via each fund’s listing on a market of the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") through a brokerage account. Transaction costs are incurred when buying or selling iShares ETF securities on ASX markets and brokerage commissions if such trades are done through a broker. iShares securities trade on ASX at market price (not at net asset value ("NAV")). Before investing in an iShares ETF, you should carefully consider whether such products are appropriate for you, read the applicable Offer Document, which are available from BlackRock Australia or can be downloaded from the Website in PDF format, and consult a financial or other professional adviser.
In respect of information relating to iShares ETFs listed on a market of the ASX, ASX takes no responsibility for any aspect of the Website or any decision to invest in an iShares ETFs. The admission by ASX of an issuer of an iShares ETF is in no way an endorsement by ASX of the issuer or of iShares ETF securities.

An investment in emerging markets and single countries may also involve heightened other risks such as increased volatility and the possibility of lower trading volume.
