iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF

Inception date: 5/22/2000

Carefully consider the iShares 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 by viewing or downloading a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Certain iShares funds are subject to management fee breakpoints as assets increase. The breakpoints take effect immediately after asset tier levels are reached, thus a fund's actual management fee being applied may not match the fund's web site or prospectus on a given day.

‡ “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.

On 10/17/2012 the iShares S&P MidCap 400 Index Fund changed its name to the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF and its expense ratio from 0.21% to 0.15%

The iShares Funds ("Funds") are distributed by BlackRock Investments, LLC (together with its affiliates, "BlackRock").

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.

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.
