iSHARES IV PLC

Background

i S H A R E S I V P L C I N T E R I M R E P O R T [ 5 ]

iShares IV public limited company (the "Company") is organised as an open-ended investment Company with variable capital. The Company was

incorporated in Ireland on 3 July 2009 with limited liability and segregated liability between its Funds and is organised under the laws of Ireland

as a Public Limited Company (“plc”) pursuant to the Companies Act 2014 and the European Communities (Undertaking in Collective Investment

in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the "UCITS Regulations") and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "CBI").

The Company is structured as an umbrella Fund and comprises separate Funds (“Funds”) of the Company.

The term “Fund” shall be deemed to mean either a Fund of the Company, or if the context so requires, the Manager or its delegate acting for the

account of the relevant Fund. The term “BlackRock” is used to represent BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. The investment objectives and

policies of each Fund are set out in the prospectus and the relevant supplemental prospectus.

Changes to the Company

The TER discount applied to iShares $ Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF, iShares £ Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF and iShares € Ultrashort Bond UCITS

ETF was permanently discounted to 0.09% from 6 June 2016.

iShares Fallen Angels High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF launched on 22 June 2016. This was reflected in the addendum to the prospectus that

was issued on 22 June 2016.

In response to the CBI publishing the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act, 2013 (Section 48(1)) Investor Money Regulations 2015 for

Fund Service Providers (the “Investor Money Regulations” or “IMR”) in March 2015 (effective from 1 July 2016), the Manager undertook, together

with State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited, a review of the way in which subscription, distribution and redemption monies are

channelled to and from the Company.

As a result of this review, subscription and redemption monies will (effective from 23 May 2016), be channelled through an umbrella cash

collection account in the name of the Company, and in respect of any Funds considered to be highly leveraged, Fund cash collection accounts in

the name of the relevant Fund(s). Pending issue of the Shares and /or payment of subscription proceeds to an account in the name of the

Company or the relevant Fund(s), and pending payment of redemption proceeds or distributions, the relevant investor will be an unsecured

creditor of the relevant Fund in respect of amounts paid by or due to it. An Addendum issued on 4 July 2016 includes this change. For the

avoidance of doubt, none of the Funds of the Company are considered highly leveraged.

iShares Sustainable MSCI Emerging Markets SRI UCITS ETF and iShares Sustainable MSCI USA SRI UCITS ETF launched on 11 July 2016. On 22

November 2016, the Fund names changed to iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF and iShares MSCI USA SRI UCITS ETF respectively.

iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF, iShares Automation & Robotics UCITS ETF, iShares Digitalisation UCITS ETF and iShares Healthcare

Innovation UCITS ETF launched on 12 September 2016.

On 14 September 2016, the Brazilian Tax Authorities issued Normative Instruction 1658/16 amending the list of countries considered to be ‘low

tax jurisdictions’ to include Curacao, Saint Martin and Ireland and exclude the Netherlands Antilles and Saint Kitts and Nevis. The changes are

effective from 1 October 2016 onwards. As a consequence, Brazilian Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”) and increased income withholding tax (“WHT”)

rates on interest on capital distributions will apply to the Brazilian securities held in the following Funds, iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF,

iShares Automation & Robotics UCITS ETF, iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF, and iShares Digitalisation UCITS ETF. From 1 October

onwards, capital gains are subject to CGT, which is currently being accounted for through a levy on primary market redemptions, as permitted

under the “Duties and Charges” definition within the prospectus.

iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Size Factor

UCITS ETF and iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor UCITS ETF launched on 14 October 2016.

On 2 November 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company notified shareholders of their intention to launch multiple share classes within

most of the existing Funds of the Company and also other Funds across the Irish iShares range and an amendment to the definition of ‘Duties

and Charges’.

The prospectus previously stated that the TERs of iShares € Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF, iShares $ Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF and iShares $

Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF were reduced temporarily. This change has been made permanent from 22 November 2016 and the TERs have

decreased from 0.20% to 0.09%. On 22 November 2016, a revised prospectus was issued to reflect the changes listed above.

As of 18 November 2016, the Company Secretary changed from Chartered Corporate Services, Taney Hill, Eglinton Terrace, Dundrum, Dublin 14

to Sanne, Fourth Floor, 76 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2.

Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2015/2365) (“SFTR”) came into force on 12 January 2016 and, amongst other

requirements, introduces new disclosure requirements in the Funds' annual and half-yearly reports published after 13 January 2017 detailing

the Funds’ use of securities financing transactions and total return swaps ("TRS"). As a result, additional disclosures have been included in the

Supplementary Information section to the Interim Report.

Brexit

In a United Kingdom (“UK”) referendum held on 23 June 2016, the electorate of the UK resolved to leave the European Union. For further details

on the possible impact of the results of the referendum please refer to the Investment Manager’s report and the Financial Instruments and

Risk: Market Risk section.

Renminbi qualified foreign institutional investor

Under current law issued from the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) and subject to minor exceptions, investors based in certain jurisdictions

outside the PRC may apply to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) for status as a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional

Investor (“RQFII”). Once an entity is licensed as a RQFII, it will be eligible to apply for a certain amount of RQFII Quota (investment quota issued

by China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) to invest directly in China A Shares).

The Investment Manager has been licensed as a RQFII and as at 11 March 2015 has been granted an allocation of RQFII Quota for allocation

across multiple funds under its management.

Renminbi qualified foreign institutional investor (continued)

The capacity of iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF to make investments in China A shares depends on several factors, including sufficient RQFII

Quota being granted by SAFE to the Investment Manager (including any additional RQFII Quota when needed) and allocated by the Investment

Manager for use by the Fund, as well as the ability of the Investment Manager to maintain its RQFII Licence. The Investment Manager has the

flexibility to allocate its RQFII Quota across multiple funds under its management from time to time. As such, the Fund will not have exclusive

use of a specified amount of RQFII Quota and will rely on the Investment Manager’s management and allocation of such quota between different

Funds.

Fund Details

There were 38 Funds in operation at 30 November 2016. The investment objective of the Funds is to provide investors with a total return, taking

The Fund return figures are the aggregated net monthly returns and are based on the average published pricing net asset value (“NAV”) for the

financial period under review. Due to accounting policy requirements under Irish accounting standards which apply to the financial statements,

there may be slight differences between the NAV per share as recorded in the financial statements and the published pricing NAV per share.

The returns are net of management fees.

Past performance may not necessarily be repeated and future performance may vary.

TRACKING ERROR

Realised tracking error is the annualised standard deviation of the difference in monthly returns between a Fund and its benchmark index.

Tracking error shows the consistency of the returns relative to the benchmark index over a defined period of time.

Anticipated tracking error is based on the expected volatility of differences between the returns of a Fund and the returns of its benchmark

index.

For physically replicating funds, the investment management approach is to buy a portfolio of securities that as far as practicable consist of the

securities that make up the benchmark index, in similar proportion to the weights represented in the benchmark index.

For non-replicating funds, the investment management approach aims to match the main risk characteristics of the benchmark index by

investing in a portfolio that is primarily made up of securities that represent the benchmark index. The objective is to generate a return which is

as close as practicable to the total return of the index net of transaction costs and gross of fees and other costs.

Cash management, efficient portfolio management techniques including securities lending, transaction costs from rebalancing and currency

hedging can have an impact on tracking error as well as the return differential between a Fund and its benchmark index. Importantly, these

impacts can be either positive or negative depending on the underlying circumstances.

In addition to the above, the Funds may also have a tracking error due to withholding tax suffered by the Funds on any income received from its

investments. The level and quantum of tracking error arising due to withholding taxes depends on various factors such as any reclaims filed on

behalf of the Funds with various tax authorities, any benefits obtained by the Funds under a tax treaty or any securities lending activities carried

out by the Funds.

MARKET REVIEW

Equities

Global equities

This market review summary covers iShares Edge MSCI World Momentum Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI World Multifactor UCITS

ETF, iShares Edge MSCI World Quality Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI World Size Factor UCITS ETF and iShares Edge MSCI World Value

Factor UCITS ETF.

Following a bout of volatility in June 2016 in the aftermath of the UK’s surprise vote to leave the European Union (“EU”), global equities

subsequently rallied to end the Company’s six month review period with modest positive returns.

Global equities began the review period on a mixed note as signs that US economic activity was picking up were largely offset by uncertainties

ahead of the UK’s EU membership referendum. Although opinion polls had suggested that the result could be close, global equity markets fell

sharply in the immediate aftermath of the public’s vote to leave the EU (“Brexit”). However, markets soon recovered their poise as investors

concluded that the ensuing uncertainty could convince central banks to maintain, or even expand, their stimulus programmes. Global equities’

firm tone extended into early September 2016; following the Bank of England’s (“BoE”) August 2016 decision to cut interest rates, the US

Federal Reserve (“Fed”) cited Brexit related uncertainty as a factor behind the decision to refrain from raising interest rates at its September

2016 meeting, despite the strength of the US labour market. Although firmer commodity prices, notably crude oil, reflecting more encouraging

news from China’s economy, also underpinned sentiment, signs that the Fed was gradually moving towards a rise in US interest rates before the

end of the year began to weigh on global stocks in October 2016, as did political uncertainties ahead of the US presidential election. Despite an

initial selloff on news of Donald Trump’s election success amid policy uncertainties, growing confidence that the President elect would embark

on a significant infrastructure improvement programme resulted in renewed strength in commodity markets, helping global equites to end the

review period on a firm note.

During the Company’s review period, World Momentum Factor equities posted positive returns but underperformed wider global equities,

weighed by relatively low exposure to certain outperforming financials such as JP Morgan Chase and relatively high exposure to certain

underperforming consumer staples companies, such as Altria Group.

World Quality Factor equities also posted positive returns and underperformed wider global equities, with returns hampered by exposure to

several underperforming healthcare stocks, including Novo Nordisk and Roche. World Size Factor and World Multifactor equities performed

broadly in line with their wider market counterparts. World Value Factor equities outperformed broader global equities, boosted by exposure to

selected outperforming financials such as Bank of America and specific consumer discretionary stocks such as Toyota Motor.

ETF.

European equities produced disappointing returns over the review period, underperforming compared to their global counterparts, weighed by

political and economic concerns in the wake of the Brexit vote.

European bourses began the six month review period on a nervous note, reflecting growing uncertainties ahead of the UK’s 23 June 2016

referendum. However, having broadly followed the gyrations of their UK and global peers in the aftermath of the ‘Leave’ vote, European equity

markets generally lagged behind their overseas counterparts’ rally. This reflected some concerns that Brexit would embolden Eurosceptic

parties across Europe, thereby raising political risks across the continent. Moreover, fears over the stability of some parts of the European

financial sector also mounted in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, with some Italian banks coming under scrutiny amid concern over their

capitalisation levels.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Equities (continued)

European equities (continued)

Although firmer commodity prices lent support to large cap resource stocks across the region, while also helping to allay some lingering

concerns over deflationary risks, European stocks continued to underperform their overseas peers during the final weeks of the review period.

This largely reflected concerns that the region’s economic recovery could be faltering amid disappointing news that the Eurozone economy grew

by just 0.3% during the third quarter of 2016, matching its second quarter performance, compared to growth of 0.5% in the January to March

2016 period. European equities extended their poor relative performance during the final weeks of the review period; following Donald Trump’s

surprise US election victory in early November 2016, concerns grew that the sense of ‘anti establishment’ sentiment could heap further

pressure on Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi ahead of a December 2016 referendum over constitutional reform. Following the end of the

review period, these concerns would be vindicated as Prime Minister Renzi stepped down following the decisive ‘No’ vote.

Domestically focused EMU mid-caps outperformed their larger peers over the review period, helped by their lack of exposure to several

underperforming large cap financials, such as Italy’s Intesa Sanpaolo. French equities outperformed their wider European counterparts, helped

by the relatively strong performance of industrial gases group Air Liquide and personal care products maker L’Oreal. Europe Quality Factor

equities underperformed wider European indices, weighed by relatively large exposure to health care companies Novo Nordisk and

AstraZeneca. While Europe Size Factor equities performed generally in line with wider European indices, Europe Value Factor and Momentum

Factor outperformed. The former benefitted from exposure to industrial group Siemens and chemicals firm Bayer while the latter’s returns were

boosted by exposure to commodities group Glencore. Europe Multifactor equities underperformed, with exposure to real estate firm Unibail-

Rodamco detracting from returns.

US equities

This market review summary covers iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Multifactor UCITS,

iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Size Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor

UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI USA SRI UCITS ETF and iShares US Equity Buyback Achievers UCITS ETF.

US stocks produced solid positive returns over the Company’s review period, outperforming their wider global counterparts. US equities’ gains

reflected a combination of optimism that the improving domestic economic environment would help to underpin corporate profits and some

element of ‘safe haven’ buying amid post Brexit political uncertainties in Europe.

US stocks began the review period on a firm note relative to their European peers. Despite signs that US economic activity was picking up

further from the lull around the turn of the calendar year, investors drew encouragement from statements by senior Fed officials suggesting

that they would adopt a patient approach before implementing any further rises in US interest rates. Although falling in sympathy with

European markets in the immediate aftermath of the surprise Brexit news, US stocks’ losses were relatively minor in nature, while their

subsequent rebound was more pronounced. In contrast to Europe’s woes, data showed that US economic activity was picking up; annualised

growth rose from 0.8% in the first quarter of 2016 to 1.4% during the April to June 2016 period. Against this more encouraging domestic

backdrop, comments from Fed officials suggesting that US policymakers were set to resist calls to raise interest rates until international

uncertainties, notably in Europe, abated gave further impetus to the rally in US stocks. Nevertheless, US markets lost some ground in October

2016 amid some mixed corporate trading updates that reflected how the strong US currency was impacting on overseas earnings. The growing

conviction that the strength of the US labour market could soon force the Fed’s hand, and political uncertainties ahead of the November 2016

US presidential elections, also weighed to some extent on US stocks. News that US economic growth rose to 3.2% on an annualised basis

during the third quarter of 2016, the strongest quarterly growth in two years, heightened expectations that the Fed could raise interest rates as

soon as December 2016. Despite this, as some greater clarity emerged over President elect Trump’s economic policies, particularly the

proposed infrastructure improvement programme and the planned tax cuts, US equities ended the review period on a firm note.

The Buyback Achiever index outperformed the wider US market, helped by exposure to a range of stock level outperformers, including industrial

firm Quanta Services and restaurant operator Wendy’s. US Multifactor equities performed relatively well, helped by strong returns from IT

consultancy & professional services firm Accenture.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Equities (continued)

US equities (continued)

Since iShares MSCI USA SRI Fund launched in July 2016, SRI equities performed broadly in line with wider US stocks for the remainder of the

review period. Following their launches in early October 2016, iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor UCITS ETF, iShares Edge MSCI USA Size

Factor UCITS ETF and iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor UCITS ETF produced positive returns. However, iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum

Factor UCITS ETF produced negative returns, weighed by a slide in personal & household care products firm Proctor & Gamble

Japanese equities

This market review summary covers iShares MSCI Japan SRI EUR Hedged UCITS ETF (Acc).

Japanese equities generated positive returns over the Company’s review period, marginally outperforming relative to their international

counterparts. Although the effects of the strong Japanese Yen remained a concern for much of the period, optimism that the Far East region’s

economic prospects were gradually improving underpinned sentiment towards the Japanese market.

Japanese stocks broadly tracked the movements of their overseas peers early in the review period, suffering a short lived dip in response to the

surprise Brexit vote. Despite deepening concerns over the impact of ongoing Japanese Yen strength on exporters’ international earnings, with

the Japanese currency approaching 100 to the US Dollar in early July 2016, a gain of nearly 20% since the turn of the calendar year, some

optimism that the worst was over for the domestic economy lent support to Japanese stocks. Compared to a (0.2%) contraction during the final

quarter of 2015, revised data released early in the review period showed that Japan’s economy had grown by 0.5% during the first quarter of

2016. Although there was some disappointment that the strength of the labour market was not feeding through to give a sustained boost to

consumer activity, Japanese equities benefited from investors’ optimism that a gradual recovery in demand from China, the US and Europe

could help to offset the effect of Japanese Yen strength.

Nevertheless, with slowing private consumption and government spending contributing to a cooling in economic activity during the second

quarter of 2016, investors took comfort from the government’s latest fiscal support package aimed at supporting low income workers and

boosting infrastructure spending. Investors also drew confidence from the Bank of Japan’s (“BoJ”) plan to revamp its stimulus programme to

target 10 year bond yields at zero in an effort to underpin inflation. During the final weeks of the review period, Japanese stocks received a

further boost from news that rising exports had helped the economy to grow by a stronger than expected 0.5% during the third quarter of 2016,

compared to just 0.2% three months earlier. Following Donald Trump’s US election victory, a surge in the US Dollar, to around 114 versus the

Japanese Yen, raised hopes that some of the currency pressure on Japanese exporters could ease further. Over the review period the Japanese

currency lost ground relative to the US Dollar but ended marginally stronger versus the Euro.

Japanese SRI indices underperformed relative to their mainstream peers over the review period, with the lack of exposure to several

outperforming stocks such as Toyota Motor and SoftBank acting as a drag on returns.

Israeli equities

This market review summary covers iShares TA-25 Israel UCITS ETF.

Following its broadly neutral performance relative to other developed markets early in the six month review period, the Israeli stock market

subsequently underperformed. Although signs from the domestic economy remained generally positive, with the labour market improving and

Gross Domestic Product growing by 0.8%, 1.2% and 0.8% over the first, second and third quarters of the year respectively, poor returns from the

country’s very large health care sector, which represents approximately 27% of the TA-25 market index, weighed on returns.

In particular, Perrigo and Mylan shares performed very poorly amid weakening global investor sentiment towards healthcare stocks. Ahead of

the US election, speculation over the scope for greater political intervention over the pricing of pharmaceuticals impacted on sentiment.

Following Donald Trump’s victory, investors rotated away from some more ‘defensive’ sectors, such as health care, into areas perceived as

greater potential beneficiaries of higher infrastructure spending, such as the materials sector.

Emerging markets

This market review summary covers iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF and iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF.

Emerging market equities generated strong returns over the Company’s review period, significantly outperforming relative to their developed

counterparts.

Despite some volatility in global markets early in the review year as European stock valuations gyrated amid Brexit related uncertainties, more

encouraging news flow from developing economies helped emerging markets to outperform. Previous concerns that China’s economy could be

facing an abrupt slowdown gradually eased, initially helped by more encouraging survey data from the manufacturing sector. Subsequently,

news emerged that China’s economy grew by 6.7% on a year on year basis during the second quarter of 2016, matching its first quarter

performance, raising hopes that the earlier slowdown in growth could be gradually bottoming out, with fears over a ‘hard landing’ abating.

Meanwhile, commodity prices also found support amid more encouraging signs from the global economy. This lent support to the resource rich

Brazilian market, which also benefitted from hopes of greater political clarity as the process which would eventually lead to the impeachment of

President Dilma Rousseff on the grounds of the misuse of public funds advanced.

Having generated strong returns, both on an outright basis and relative to their developed counterparts, during the third quarter of 2016,

emerging markets lost ground in late October and November 2016. Despite a further round of supportive data from China’s economy, including

news that economic growth held at 6.7% during the third quarter of 2016, growing political uncertainty around the US elections convinced some

investors to pare back exposure to markets perceived as higher risk. The growing conviction that US interest rates could rise around the turn of

the calendar year also weighed to some extent on emerging markets late in the review period.

Over the period Chinese equities performed broadly in line with their wider emerging market peers and outperformed broader global equities.

Since iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF launched in July 2016, EM SRI equities generally underperformed their broader market peers. Towards

the end of the review period, this mainly reflected the relatively large representation of the underperforming IT sector and the relatively low

weightings among outperforming resources companies in the EM SRI universe.

Fixed income

Government bonds

This market review summary covers iShares $ Treasury Bond 20+yr UCITS ETF and iShares € Govt Bond 20yr Target Duration UCITS ETF.

Long dated government bond markets rallied early in the review period amid safe haven buying in the wake of the Brexit vote and confidence

that relatively muted rates of economic growth would enable policymakers to keep interest rates at historically low levels. Despite signs that US

economic activity was picking up during the summer, investors also drew succor from comments by senior Fed officials suggesting that

policymakers would remain patient before raising US interest rates further. However, optimism that the European Central Bank (“ECB”)’s

extraordinary degree of economic stimulus, growing evidence that deflationary forces in Europe were abating as oil and other commodity prices

rose and the looming prospect that the strengthening US economy would convince Fed policymakers to raise interest rates shortly weighed

heavily on long dated government bonds during the second half of the Company’s review period. While US bond markets fell heavily in November

2016 to end the period with significant losses, reflecting the view that the new Trump administration’s proposed infrastructure improvement

programme could fan inflationary forces and potentially convince the Fed to implement more aggressive interest increases in 2017, the returns

from their European peers dipped into moderate negative territory only very late in the review period. Despite rising global government bond

yields, European government debt prices were underpinned by growing levels of political uncertainty ahead of the Italian referendum and

conviction that the lacklustre nature of the Eurozone economic recovery would see the ECB maintaining ultra low borrowing costs for an

extended period.

2018 $ Corp UCITS ETF and iShares Fallen Angels High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF.

Short dated credit produced modest positive returns over the Company’s review period, marginally outperforming their government peers of

similar maturities. Despite sporadic ‘flight to safety’ moves as investors switched from credit to government debt during periods of uncertainty,

particularly in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, corporate bonds continued to attract buying from investors seeking attractive levels of yield.

High yield bonds were particular beneficiaries of this ongoing search for income, while the US sub-investment grade market also benefitted

from the recovery in oil & gas prices given the relatively high representation of energy sector borrowers in the US high yield space.

While Sterling and US Dollar short dated credit markets produced modest positive gains over the review period, their Euro peers delivered

largely flat returns, reflecting investors’ reduced appetite for risk given uncertainties across the single currency zone. Since inception on 22

June 2016, iShares Fallen Angels High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF, which offers diversified exposure to a subset of high yield corporate bonds

that have been downgraded to sub-investment grade at some point in their trading history, marginally underperformed broader $ high yield

bonds over the remainder of the Company’s review period.

Mortgage debt

This market review summary covers iShares US Mortgage Backed Securities UCITS ETF.

Following the Fund’s inception in May 2016, mortgage backed bond markets produced steady gains for much of the remainder of the review

period, largely matching the returns from medium dated US Dollar credit markets until late October 2016. However, mortgage backed assets fell

sharply in value in November 2016, largely reflecting higher default risks as the prospect of higher interest rates as a result of the incoming US

administration’s spending plans. Against this backdrop, since the inception date, mortgage backed securities underperformed both government

and corporate bonds over the remainder of the Company’s review period.

Other speciality funds

This market review summary covers iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF.

Launched in September 2016, the Fund seeks to offer competitively priced and diversified access to companies that specifically provide

products or services to the world’s ageing population (defined as people aged 60 years or above). Since launch, the Fund underperformed wider

equity markets over the remainder of the Company’s review period, reflecting investors’ preference for traditional growth based sectors, such as

materials, following the US election result.

This market review summary covers iShares Automation & Robotics UCITS ETF.

Launched in September 2016, the Fund seeks to offer competitively priced and diversified access to companies that are developing technology

in the fields of automation and robotics, across both developed and emerging markets. Since launch, the Fund outperformed wider equity

markets over the remainder of the Company’s review period, reflecting holdings across a range of outperforming industrial companies with

particular expertise in automation & robotic technologies.

This market review summary covers iShares Digitalisation UCITS ETF.

Launched in September 2016, the Fund seeks to offer competitively priced and diversified access to companies that offer digitally focused

services across both developed and emerging markets. Since launch, the Fund underperformed wider equity markets over the remainder of the

Company’s review period, reflecting some investors’ perception of a lack of clarity over the incoming US government’s policies towards the IT

sector, particularly with regard to the perceived risk of new trade barriers and taxation changes.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS*

* The information relating to financial instruments and risks is an integral part of the notes to the financial statements.

[ 2 2 ] i S H A R E S I V P L C I N T E R I M R E P O R T

Introduction and overview

The Company's investment activities expose it to the various types of

risk which are associated with the financial instruments and markets

in which it invests. The following information is not intended to be a

comprehensive summary of all risks, and investors should refer to the

prospectus and supplements for a more detailed discussion of the

risks inherent in investing in the Company.

Risk management framework

The principal risks and uncertainties of the Company and related risk

management policies are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements as at and for the year ended

31 May 2016.

The Directors of the Company consider the following risks to be the

principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company for the period:

a) Market risk

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of

financial instruments influenced by other price, currency and interest

rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Funds may suffer

through holding market positions in the face of market movements.

i) Market risk arising from other price risk

Exposure to other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a

financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market

prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency

risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the

individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting

similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Funds are exposed to market risk by virtue of their investments in

equities, rights, bonds, mortgage backed securities ("MBS"),

contracts for difference ("CFDs"), forward currency contracts and

futures contracts.

The movements in the prices of these investments result in

movements in the performance of the Funds. The investment

concentrations within the portfolio are disclosed in the schedules of

investments by investment type.

For iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF, the existence of a liquid trading

market may depend on whether there is a readily available supply of, and corresponding demand for China A Shares.

The price at which China A Shares may be purchased or sold by the

Fund, upon any rebalancing activities or otherwise, and the NAV of the

Fund may be adversely affected if trading markets for the China A

Shares are limited or absent. Market volatility and settlement

difficulties in the China A Shares markets may result in significant

fluctuation in the prices of securities traded on such markets and may

consequently increase the volatility of the Net Asset Value of the

Fund.

Management of other price risk

The Investment Manager manages the Funds' market risk on a daily

basis in accordance with the Funds' investment objective. The

investment objective of the Funds is to provide investors with a total

return, taking into account the capital and income returns, which

reflect the total returns of the respective benchmark. The Funds’

performances are correlated to their benchmark. The correlation of

the Funds’ performance against the benchmark is a metric monitored

by key management personnel.

ii) Market risk arising from foreign currency risk

Exposure to foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows

of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign

exchange rates.

The Funds may invest in securities, which as far as possible and

practicable, consist of the component securities of the benchmark

index of each Fund, and which may be denominated in currencies

other than its reporting currency.

The Funds with the exception of iShares MSCI Japan SRI EUR Hedged

UCITS ETF (Acc) (the "Currency Hedged Fund"), in line with their

benchmarks, are unhedged and are therefore exposed to foreign

currency risk.

Consequently, each Fund is exposed to the risk of currency

fluctuations between the base currency of the benchmark index and

the base currency of the constituent securities of the benchmark

index.

The Funds may also invest in forward currency contracts and thus gain

further exposure to foreign currency risk.

Management of foreign currency risk

To minimise this risk, the Currency Hedged Fund invests in forward

currency contracts that as far as possible track the hedging

methodology of the benchmark index.

a) Market risk (continued)

ii) Market risk arising from foreign currency risk (continued)

Management of foreign currency risk (continued)

The benchmark index is designed to represent a close approximation

of the return that can be achieved by hedging the currency exposures

of the index in the one month forward market at the end of each

month.

Exchange rate exposures are managed where appropriate and in

compliance with the prospectus utilising forward currency contracts.

The details of the contracts in place at the period-end date are

disclosed in the schedules of investments.

For iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF, the onshore Renminbi is the

official currency of the PRC and is the currency of denomination for all

financial transactions between individuals, state and corporations in

the PRC.

Hong Kong is the first jurisdiction to allow for the accumulation of

Renminbi deposits outside the PRC. Since June 2010, the offshore

market for Renminbi is traded officially and regulated jointly by the

Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the People’s Bank of China (Hong

Kong) Limited (“PBOC”). While both onshore Renminbi ("CNY") and

offshore Renminbi ("CNH") are the same currency, the onshore and

offshore markets in which they are traded are largely separate and

independent and the movement of currency from one market to the

other is highly restricted. CNY and CNH are traded at different rates

and any movement may not be in the same direction. As a result the

Fund may be exposed to the exchange rate differences between CNH

and CNY and foreign exchange transaction costs associated with

converting from CNH to CNY and vice versa.

iii) Market risk arising from interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a

financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market

interest rates.

The Funds are exposed to interest rate risk through their cash

holdings, including margin cash held with brokers and their

investments in fixed and floating interest bearing securities where the

value of these securities may fluctuate as a result of a change in

interest rates.

The Funds also have indirect exposure to interest rate risk through

their investments into futures contracts, whereby the value of the

underlying asset may fluctuate as a result of a change in interest

rates.

Management of interest rate risk

Movements in the prices of these investments are derived from

movements in market interest rates and issuer creditworthiness.

Issuer creditworthiness and credit spreads are monitored by the

Investment Manager regularly. The securities in which the Funds

invest will generally have a minimum rating of investment grade from

a ratings agency as set out in the investment policy of the Funds.

Brexit

In a United Kingdom (“UK”) referendum held on 23 June 2016, the

electorate of the UK resolved to leave the European Union. The result

has led to political and economic instability, volatility in the financial

markets of the UK and more broadly across Europe. It may also lead

to weakening in consumer, corporate and financial confidence in such

markets as the UK negotiates its exit from the European Union. The

longer term process to implement the political, economic and legal

framework between the UK and the European Union is likely to lead to

continuing uncertainty and periods of exacerbated volatility in both

the UK and in wider European markets. In particular, the decision

made in the referendum may lead to a call for similar referendums in

other European jurisdictions which may also cause increased

economic volatility in wider European and global markets. The result

of this referendum does not change how the Funds’ portfolios are

managed however the mid to long term uncertainty may have an

adverse effect on the economy generally and therefore impact on the

ability of a Fund to execute on its strategy and it may also result in

increased costs to a Fund. For further details on the possible impact

of the results of the referendum please refer to the Investment

Manager’s report.

b) Counterparty credit risk

Exposure to counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial

instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to

discharge an obligation.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty credit risk from the parties

with which they trade and will bear the risk of settlement default.

Management of counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is monitored and managed by BlackRock’s

Risk and Quantitative Analysis (“RQA”) Counterparty & Concentration

Risk Team. The team is headed by BlackRock’s Chief Credit Officer

who reports to the Global Head of RQA. Credit authority resides with

the Chief Credit Officer and selected team members to whom specific

credit authority has been delegated.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

Management of counterparty credit risk (continued)

As such, counterparty approvals may be granted by the Chief Credit

Officer, or by identified RQA Credit Risk Officers who have been

formally delegated authority by the Chief Credit Officer.

The BlackRock RQA Counterparty & Concentration Risk Team

completes a formal review of each new counterparty, monitors and

reviews all approved counterparties on an ongoing basis and

maintains an active oversight of counterparty exposures and the

collateral management process.

There were no past due or impaired assets as at 30 November 2016 or

31 May 2016.

i) Exchange traded financial derivative instruments

The Funds’ holdings in futures contracts expose the Funds to

counterparty credit risk.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to futures contracts

The exposure is limited by trading the contracts through a clearing

house. The Funds’ exposure to counterparty credit risk on contracts in

which it currently has a gain position is reduced by such gains

received in cash from the counterparty under the daily mark-to-

market mechanism on exchange traded futures contracts (variation

margin). The Funds’ exposure to counterparty credit risk on contracts

in which it currently has a loss position is equal to the amount of

margin posted to the counterparty which has not been transferred to

the exchange under the daily mark-to-market mechanism. The

counterparties for futures contracts are Barclays Bank Plc, HSBC

Bank Plc and Citibank.

Margin is paid or received on futures contracts to cover any exposure

by the counterparty or the Funds to each other. The “Margin cash

account” on the condensed balance sheet consists of margin

receivable from or payable to the Company's clearing brokers and

various counterparties.

ii) Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) financial derivative instruments

The Funds’ holdings in OTC financial derivative instruments (including

CFDs) expose the Funds to counterparty credit risk.

Counterparty credit risk arises from the failure of the counterparty to

perform according to the terms of the contract. The Funds exposure to

counterparty credit risk is limited to the contracts in which it currently

has a financial asset position reduced by any collateral received from

the counterparty, or to counterparties who have received collateral

from the Funds.

All OTC financial derivative instruments are entered into by the Funds

under an International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc.

Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement.

An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the

Funds and a counterparty that governs OTC financial derivative

instruments (including CFDs) entered into by the parties.

The parties’ exposures under the ISDA Master Agreement are netted

and collateralised together, therefore any collateral disclosures

provided are in respect of all OTC financial derivative instruments

entered into by the Funds under the ISDA Master Agreement, not just

CFDs. All non-cash collateral received/posted by the Funds under the

ISDA Master Agreement is transferred bilaterally under a title transfer

arrangement.

The carrying value of financial assets together with cash held with

counterparties best represents the Funds' gross maximum exposure

to counterparty credit risk at the reporting date, before including the

effect of ISDA Master Agreements and close-out netting, which would

reduce the overall counterparty credit risk exposure. Cash held as

security by the counterparty to derivative contracts is subject to the

credit risk of the counterparty.

The Funds’ maximum exposure to counterparty credit risk from

holding forward currency contracts will be equal to the notional

amount of the currency and any net unrealised gains as disclosed in

the schedule of investments.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to OTC financial

derivative instruments

For CFDs held by the Funds, cash movements take place on a daily

basis, above a $250,000 threshold. The risk is further mitigated as

contracts are reset on a monthly basis (1 year rolling maturity at each

monthly reset) with the gain or loss being realised in the relevant

Fund. The Fund is required to maintain collateral with the

counterparties to secure these financial instruments.

Forward currency contracts do not require variation margins and thus

the counterparty credit risk is monitored through the BlackRock RQA

Counterparty & Concentration Risk Team who monitor the

creditworthiness of the counterparty. The counterparties for forward

currency contracts are disclosed in the schedules of investments.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

iii) Depositary

The Funds’ Depositary is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland)

Limited (the "Depositary"). The majority of the investments are held by

same at period end. Investments are segregated from the assets of

the Depositary, with ownership rights remaining with the Funds.

Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositary may cause the Funds’

rights with respect to its investments held by the Depositary to be

delayed or limited. The maximum exposure to this risk is the amount

of long investments disclosed in the schedules of investments.

The Depositary has appointed State Street Bank and Trust Company

(the “Sub-Custodian”) as its global Sub-Custodian. Substantially all of

the cash of the Company is held with the Sub-Custodian. The Funds’

cash balances are held by the Sub-Custodian in its account together

with its own cash balances and with those cash balances that are

held on behalf of other clients. The Funds’ cash balances are

separately identifiable within the records of the Sub-Custodian.

In respect of the cash held by the Sub-Custodian or other depositaries

it appoints, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty credit risk of

the Sub-Custodian or those depositaries. In the event of the

insolvency or bankruptcy of the Sub-Custodian or other depositaries,

the Funds will be treated as a general creditor of the Sub-Custodian

or the depositaries.

Any China A Shares acquired by iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF

through the RQFII Quota of the Investment Manager will be

maintained by the PRC Sub-Custodian through its delegate, the RQFII

Custodian. Cash will be held in Renminbi cash account(s) with the

RQFII Custodian on deposit, in accordance with the RQFII Custodian

Agreement. These securities account(s) and Renminbi cash

account(s) for iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF in the PRC will be

maintained in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations.

While the non-cash assets held in such securities account(s) are

segregated from the assets of the Investment Manager and belong

solely to iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF (as beneficial owner), it is

possible that this position may be interpreted by the PRC authorities

differently in the future.

The cash of iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF held by the RQFII

Custodian will be held on deposit (as banker) and will, in practice, not

be segregated but will be a debt owing from the RQFII Custodian to the

Fund as a depositor. Such cash will be co-mingled with cash

belonging to other clients of the RQFII Custodian.

In the event of the insolvency of the RQFII Depositary, the Fund will

not have any proprietary rights to the cash deposited in the cash

account opened with the RQFII Custodian, and the Fund will become

an unsecured creditor of the RQFII Custodian, ranking equally with all

other unsecured creditors. The iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF cash

balances are separately identified within the records of the RQFII

Custodian. iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF may face difficulties

and/or encounter delays in recovering such debt, or may not be able

to recover it in full or at all, in which case the Fund will lose some or all

of its cash.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to the Depositary

To mitigate the Funds’ exposure to the Depositary, the Investment

Manager employs specific procedures to ensure that the Depositary is

a reputable institution and that the counterparty credit risk is

acceptable to the Funds. The Funds only transacts with Depositary’s

that are regulated entities subject to prudential supervision, or with

"high credit ratings" assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The long term credit rating of the parent company of the Depositary

and Sub-Custodian, State Street Corporation as at 30 November 2016

is A (31 May 2016: A) (Standard & Poor's rating).The long term credit

rating of PRC Sub-Custodian and RQFII Custodian (HSBC Bank (China)

Co Ltd) as at 30 November 2016 is AA- (31 May 2016: AA-) (Standard

and Poor's rating).

The Investment Manager selects brokers in the PRC (“PRC Broker(s)”)

to execute transactions for the Fund in markets in the PRC. There is a

possibility that the Investment Manager may only appoint one PRC

Broker for each of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai

Stock Exchange, which may be the same broker. While PRC regulation

allows for up to three PRC Brokers to be appointed for each of the

Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges, as a matter of practice, it is

likely that that only one PRC Broker will be appointed in respect of

each stock exchange in the PRC, as a result of the regulatory

requirement in the PRC that securities are sold through the same PRC

Broker through which they were originally purchased.

If the Investment Manager is unable to use the relevant broker in the

PRC, the Investment Manager would be unable to purchase China A

Shares and as such, the operation of iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF

would be adversely affected and may cause shares in the Fund to

trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s NAV or be unable to

track the Benchmark Index.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

iii) Depositary (continued)

Management of counterparty credit risk related to the Depositary

(continued)

There is also a risk that iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF may suffer

losses from the default, insolvency or disqualification of a PRC Broker.

In such event, the Fund may be adversely affected in the execution of

transactions through such PRC Broker. As a result, the NAV of the

Fund may also be adversely affected. To mitigate the Fund’s exposure

to the PRC Broker(s), the Investment Manager employs specific

procedures to ensure that each PRC Broker selected is a reputable

institution and that the credit risk is acceptable to the Fund.

In order to further mitigate the Funds’ counterparty credit risk

exposure to the Sub-Custodian or depositary banks, the Funds may

enter into additional arrangements such as the placing of residual

cash in a money market Collective Investment Scheme ("CIS") for

example Institutional Cash Series Plc (“ICS”) shown as a cash

equivalent on the condensed balance sheet.

iv) Counterparties

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery

using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as

delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received

payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have

been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to

meet its obligation.

Counterparty credit risk arising on transactions with brokers relates

to transactions awaiting settlement. Risk relating to unsettled

transactions is considered small due to the short settlement period

involved and the high credit quality of the brokers used.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to Counterparties

RQA monitors the credit rating and financial position of the brokers

used to further mitigate this risk.

v) Debt securities

Issuer credit risk is the default risk of one of the issuers of any

securities held by the Funds. Bonds or other debt securities involve

credit risk to the issuer which may be evidenced by the issuer’s credit

rating.

Securities which are subordinated and/or have a lower credit rating

are generally considered to have a higher credit risk and a greater

possibility of default than more highly rated. A number of the Funds

invest into sovereign and corporate debt. This exposes the Funds to

the risk that the issuer of the bonds may default on interest or

principal payments.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to debt securities

To manage this risk, the Investment Manager invests in a wide range

of debt securities, subject to the investment objectives of each Fund

and monitors the credit ratings of the investments as disclosed in the

schedules of investments. The ratings of the debt securities are

continually monitored by the BlackRock Portfolio Management Group

(“PMG”).

vi) Securities lending

The Funds engage in securities lending activities which expose the

Funds to counterparty credit risk. The maximum exposure to each

Fund is equal to the value of the securities loaned.

Securities lending transactions entered into by the Funds are subject

to a written legal agreement between the Funds and the Securities

Lending Agent, BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited, a related party to the

Company, and separately between the Securities Lending Agent and

the approved borrowing counterparty. Collateral received in exchange

for securities lent is transferred under a title transfer arrangement

and is delivered to and held in an account with a tri-party collateral

manager in the name of the Depositary on behalf of the Funds.

Collateral received is segregated from the assets belonging to the

Funds’ Depositary or the Lending Agent.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to securities lending

To mitigate this risk, the Funds receive cash and securities as

collateral equal to a certain percentage in excess of the fair value of

the securities loaned. The Investment Manager monitors the fair value

of the securities loaned and additional collateral is obtained, if

necessary. As at the balance sheet date, all non-cash collateral

received consists of securities admitted to or dealt on a regulated

market.

The Funds also benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by

BlackRock Inc. The indemnity allows for full replacement of securities

lent. BlackRock Inc. bears the cost of indemnification against

borrower default.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

vii) Collateral

The Funds engage in activities which may require collateral to be

provided to a counterparty (“collateral posted”) or may hold collateral

received (“collateral received”) from a counterparty.

Management of counterparty credit risk related to collateral

The Funds use inbound collateral received from a counterparty to

reduce the credit risk associated with any trading activity the Funds

have engaged in.

c) Liquidity risk

Exposure to liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will encounter difficulties in

meeting their obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk to the Funds arises from the redemption requests of

investors and the liquidity of the underlying investments the Funds

are invested in. The Funds’ shareholders may redeem their shares on

the close of any daily dealing deadline for cash equal to a

proportionate share of the Funds’ NAV.

The Funds are therefore potentially exposed to the liquidity risk of

meeting the shareholders’ redemptions and may need to sell assets

at prevailing market prices to meet liquidity demands. It is also

exposed to the liquidity risk of daily margin calls on derivatives.

For iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF, there may be additional liquidity

risk surrounding the repatriations of Renminbi by RQFIIs which are

currently permitted once a day and are not currently subject to any

lock-up restrictions or prior regulatory approval, however, there are

restrictions on the movement of onshore Renminbi offshore.

There is no assurance that PRC rules and regulations will not change

or that repatriation restrictions will not be imposed in the future.

Any restrictions on repatriation imposed may have an adverse effect

on iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETFs ability to meet redemption

requests. The PBOC is the only clearing bank for offshore Renminbi in

Hong Kong.

The remittance of Renminbi funds into the PRC and the repatriation of

Renminbi funds out of the PRC is dependent on the operational

systems and procedures developed by the PBOC for such purposes,

and there is no assurance that there will not be delays in remittance

and/or repatriation which are outside of the control of the Company.

iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF is also dependent on the Depositary

and the RQFII Custodian properly carrying out any required remittance

of Renminbi into and out of the PRC.

The liquidity of iShares MSCI China A UCITS ETF will also be impacted

by any temporary or permanent suspensions of particular stocks

imposed from time to time by the Shanghai and/or Shenzhen Stock

Exchanges or as a result of any regulatory or governmental

intervention in relation to particular stocks or the markets. In

addition, companies listed on the Shanghai and/or Shenzhen Stock

Exchanges may also halt (i.e. voluntarily suspend) trading of their

securities on the stock exchanges. Any such suspension may make it

difficult for the Fund to acquire or liquidate positions in the relevant

stocks. The Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges applied a daily

limit during the period, set at 10%, of the amount of fluctuation

permitted in the prices of China A Shares during a single trading day.

The daily limit refers to price movements only and does not restrict

trading within the relevant limit.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market on an exchange would

exist for any particular China A Share or for any particular time. Any

limit imposed on a stock held by the Fund may limit the ability of the

Fund to invest in or liquidate positions in the relevant stock thereby

potentially impacting on the NAV of the Fund and increasing tracking

error.

Management of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is minimised by holding sufficient liquid investments

which can be readily realised to meet liquidity demands.

To manage this risk, if redemption requests on any dealing day

represent 10% or more of the shares in issue in respect of any Fund,

the Manager may, in its discretion, refuse to redeem any shares in

excess of 10% (at any time including after the cut-off time on the

dealing day).

Any request for redemption on such dealing day shall be reduced

rateably and the redemption requests shall be treated as if they were

received on each subsequent dealing day until all shares to which the

original request related have been redeemed.

In any event settlement for redemptions will normally be made within

fourteen days of the dealing day.

[ 2 8 ] i S H A R E S I V P L C I N T E R I M R E P O R T

c) Liquidity risk (continued)

Management of liquidity risk (continued)

The Funds’ liquidity risk is managed on a daily basis by the Investment

Manager in accordance with established policies and procedures in

place. The portfolio managers review daily forward-looking cash

reports which project cash obligations. These reports allow them to

manage their cash obligations.

If trading of particular China onshore securities held by iShares MSCI

China A UCITS ETF are suspended (whether by the PRC stock

exchanges or voluntarily by the issuers), the Fund will not be able to

sell the suspended securities in order to meet redemptions.

In such circumstances, the Fund is likely to sell a larger proportion of

non-suspended securities to meet redemptions. Similarly, in such

circumstances, the Fund will also not be able to purchase suspended

securities to meet subscriptions and is likely to purchase a larger

proportion of non-suspended securities to meet subscriptions. The

continuation of such suspensions, especially in circumstances where

redemptions exceed subscriptions or vice versa, could result in the

Fund’s investment portfolio deviating increasingly from the

constituents and weighting of its Benchmark Index. This could

increase the tracking error risk of the Fund, which is the risk that the

performance of the Fund deviates increasingly from the performance

of its Benchmark Index.

Such circumstances may cause the shares of the Fund to trade at a

significant premium or discount to the NAV on any stock exchange on

which they are admitted for trading.

d) Valuation of financial instruments

The Funds are required to classify financial instruments measured at

fair value using a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has the

following categories:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if

quoted prices are readily and regularly available and those prices

represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an

arm’s length basis. The Fund does not adjust the quoted price for

these instruments.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques using observable inputs

This category includes instruments valued using: quoted prices in

active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for similar

instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other

valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or

indirectly observable from market data.

Valuation techniques used for non-standardised financial

instruments such as OTC financial derivative instruments, include the

use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, reference to

other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash

flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of

market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity determined

inputs.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs

This category includes all instruments where the valuation techniques

used include inputs not based on market data and these inputs could

have a significant impact on the instrument’s valuation.

This category also includes instruments that are valued based on

quoted prices for similar instruments where significant entity

determined adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect

differences between the instruments and instruments for which there

is no active market.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value

measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis

of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an

input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If

a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require

significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that

measurement is a level 3 measurement.

Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value

measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors

specific to the asset or liability. The determination of what constitutes

‘observable’ inputs requires significant judgement by the Investment

Manager. The Investment Manager considers observable inputs to be

that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or

updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by

independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

has used specific valuation techniques to determine the fair value of

these securities.

Leverage

The use of derivatives may expose Funds to a higher degree of risk. In

particular, derivative contracts can be highly volatile, and the amount

of initial margin is generally small relative to the size of the contract

so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure.

A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger

impact on derivatives than on non-derivative instruments. Leveraged

derivative positions can therefore increase Fund volatility.

SIGNIFICANT RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

i S H A R E S I V P L C I N T E R I M R E P O R T [ 3 9 ]

above policy of obtaining best net results.

No collateral had a maturity tenor of less than 8 days.

There was no collateral received or pledged in relation to the CFDs

held on iShares US Equity Buyback Achievers UCITS ETF as at 30

November 2016.

Investment grade securities are those issued by an entity with a

minimum investment grade credit rating from at least one globally

recognised credit rating agency; Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch.

A recognised equity index contains at least 20 equities where no

single equity represents more than 20% of the total index and no five

equities combined represent more than 60% of the total index.

The maturity tenor analysis for fixed income securities received or

posted as collateral is based on the respective contractual maturity

date, while for equity securities, ETFs and money market funds

received or posted as collateral are presented as open transactions

as they are not subject to a contractual maturity date.

As at 30 November 2016, all non-cash collateral received by the Funds in respect of securities lending transactions is held by the Funds’

Depositary (or through its delegates), with the exception of the amounts disclosed in the following table which are held through a securities

settlement system.
