The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The returns in the table for Investor A Shares prior to commencement of operations on March 9, 2018 are based on the Fund’s Class K Shares (designated BlackRock Shares prior to September 1, 2015), adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to Investor A Shares. The performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares would be substantially similar to the Class K shares because this share class and K Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that this share class and Class K Shares have different expenses.

Expenses are as of the most current prospectus. The Net Expense Ratio does not include a voluntary cap of 0.50% on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Dividend Expense, Interest Expense, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and certain other Fund expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets). The voluntary waiver or reimbursement may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice. BlackRock may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees until a specified date. Contractual waivers are terminable upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the funds non-interested trustees or by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund. The investment advisor and/or other service providers may also voluntarily agree to waive certain fees and expenses which can be discontinued at any time without notice. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the operating expenses are reduced and total returns to the shareholder in the fund increase. Please see the prospectus for additional information.

The "Other Instrument – Note" category represents investment grade corporate bonds. The “Other Repurchase Agreement” category represents repurchase agreements backed by non-government securities, and any repurchase agreements not categorized as U.S. Treasury or U.S. Government Agency.
Sector exposure is calculated by aggregating the percent par of individual securities in the portfolio by security type. BlackRock uses a proprietary process to determine the security type of individual securities, by conducting a thorough analysis of the issuer/obligor, including but not limited to any support providers or enhancers. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds). Allocations are subject to change.

Type Fund
Geographic exposure is calculated by aggregating the percent par of holdings of individual securities in the portfolio based on a hierarchy by security type. For repurchase agreements, exposure is rolled-up to the counterparty for Other Repurchase agreements. For US Treasury and US Government Agency repurchase agreements, exposure looks through to the underlying collateral. For Asset Backed Commercial Paper (“ABCP”), exposure looks to the sponsor level of the ABCP conduit. For Variable Rate Demand Notes, exposure rolls up to the credit-enhancer. The Geography report represents BlackRock’s view of each security’s geography risk. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds).

"No S/T Rating" represents issuers that do not have a short term rating or committed cash. For issuers that don’t have a short term rating their issuer or guarantor long term equivalent would have a rating of BBB-, or equivalent, or higher by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund are received from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and converted by BlackRock 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. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds). Allocations are subject to change.
