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.

‡ “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.

* BlackRock Fund Advisors, the investment adviser to the iShares S&P Target Date Index Funds and an affiliate of BlackRock Investments, LLC, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees for its investment advisory services to the Funds through June 30, 2013.

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

Asset allocation models and diversification do not promise any level of performance or guarantee against loss of principal. Investment in the fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds.

Each target date fund has a number (a target date) at the end of the name that designates an approximate year when an investor plans to start withdrawing their money. The asset allocation of the fund will become progressively more conservative as the specified target date approaches. An investment in the fund is not guaranteed, and an investor may experience losses, including near, at, or after the target date.

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.
