Objectives and Investment Policy

The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s

assets, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Global Aggregate Sustainable and Green Bond SRI Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make

up the Index and comply with its credit rating requirements.

The Index measures the performance of securities comprising the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index (Parent Index) that are local currency denominated, fixed

-rate, investment grade, government, government-related, corporate and securitized bonds from developed and emerging markets and excludes issuers based on the

index provider's environmental, social and governance (ESG), socially responsible investment (SRI) and other criteria. Issuers may be excluded if they are involved in

alcohol, tobacco, gambling, adult entertainment, genetically modified organisms, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, conventional weapons,

controversial weapons, thermal coal extraction and power, generation of thermal coal, unconventional oil and gas, and fossil fuel reserves. Except for the green bond

component of the Benchmark Index, which does not exclude issuers involved in nuclear power, thermal coal, fossil-fuel reserves and unconventional oil and gas.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, the bonds must have at least one year until final maturity, comply with minimum local currency par amounts outstanding set by

the index provider and be rated investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness). Where a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower is used.

The Index will allocate at least 10% of its market value to securities classified as “green bonds under” in accordance with the index methodology. Green bonds are

defined by the index provider as FI securities whose proceeds are exclusively and formally applied to projects or activities that promote climate or other environmental

sustainability purposes.

The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its Index. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments

the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes.

The Fund will adopt a best-in-class approach to sustainable investing, this means that it is expected that the Fund will invest in the best issuers from an ESG / SRI

perspective (based on the ESG or SRI criteria of the Index) within each relevant sector of activities covered by the Index.

The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to offset the costs of the Fund.

Recommendation: This Fund is suitable for medium to long term investment, though the Fund may also be suitable for shorter term exposure to the Index.

Your shares will be distributing shares (i.e. income will be paid on the shares semi-annually).

Your shares will be denominated in US Dollar, the Fund's base currency.

The shares are listed on one or more stock exchanges and may be traded in currencies other than their base currency. The performance of your shares may be

affected by this currency difference. In normal circumstances, only authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) may deal in shares (or interests in shares)

directly with the Fund. Other investors can deal in shares (or interests in shares) daily through an intermediary on stock exchange (s) on which the shares are traded.

Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites. For more information on the Fund, Share Class, risks and charges, please see the Fund's prospectus, available on the product pages at www.blackrock.com
