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 (1-800-474-2737) 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.

In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions, credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. International real estate is subject to the status of its local economy.

The iShares Funds ("Funds") are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SEI).

Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual iShares performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The iShares Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, issued, sold or promoted by European Public Real Estate Association ("EPRA®") FTSE International Limited ("FTSE") or National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). None of these companies make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds. SEI is not affiliated with the companies listed above.

Neither FTSE nor NAREIT makes any warranty regarding the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate ex-US Index, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT North America Index, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Europe Index, or FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Asia Index; all rights vest in FTSE, NAREIT, and EPRA. "FTSE" is a trade- and servicemark of London Stock Exchange and The Financial Times Limited; "NAREIT®" is a trademark of NAREIT; "EPRA®" is a trademark of EPRA.


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.

Certain sectors and markets perform exceptionally well based on current market conditions and iShares funds can benefit from that performance. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and investors should not expect that such results will be repeated.
