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, which may be obtained by calling 1-800-iShares or click here to view or download a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

‡ “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” reflect the Fund's pro rata share of the indirect fees and expenses incurred by investing in one or more acquired funds, such as mutual funds, business development companies, or other pooled investment vehicles. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are reflected in the prices of the acquired funds and thus included in the total returns of the Fund.

* Certain of the iShares Funds have fee waivers resulting in a net expense ratio. BGFA, the investment adviser to the iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index Fund, has contractually agreed to waive its management fees in an amount equal to the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses incurred by the Fund through November 30, 2009. BGFA, the investment adviser to the iShares S&P Allocation Funds and the iShares S&P Target Date Index Funds, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees for its investment advisory services to the Funds through October 31, 2009. BGFA, the investment adviser to the iShares S&P Emerging Markets Infrastructure Index Fund, has contractually agreed to waive its management fees in an amount equal to the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses incurred by the Fund through June 30, 2011.

† The total annual operating expenses of the iShares Barclays Aggregate Bond Fund and iShares Barclays MBS Bond Fund include “acquired fund fees and expenses” which are related to the funds' investments in the BGI Prime Money Market Fund (the “money market fund”). “Acquired fund fees and expenses” represent the funds' pro rata share of the fees and expenses charged by the money market fund and may vary based on the funds' allocation of assets to the annualized net expenses of the money market fund. Annual operating expenses do not include the effect of interest earned by investments in the money market fund, which is expected to offset the money market fund's fees and expenses. The total annual operating expenses for the iShares MSCI Taiwan Index Fund include "Other Expenses" of 0.10% for foreign tax expenses based on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year.

Shares of iShares Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Market returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined for most iShares Funds), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

An investment in the fund(s) is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The iShares Funds ("Funds") are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SEI). Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA) serves as the investment advisor to the Funds. BGFA is a subsidiary of Barclays Global Investors, N.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC, none of which is affiliated with SEI.
