Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts

BSF Chairmans Letter to Shareholders


November 2013
Dear Shareholder,
I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Strategic Funds (the Company), a Luxembourg UCITS Fund range
providing clients with access to BlackRock investment products that seek to take full advantage of the expanded investment
powers incorporated in the UCITS directive. This report covers a six month period from 1 June 2013 to 30 November 2013.
After some strong gains seen earlier in the year, equity returns moderated over the period as concerns about a potential tapering
(reduction) of quantitative easing (QE) purchases led to profit-taking by market participants. Anxiety over the sustainability of
the rate of Chinas economic growth also weighed on markets, particularly those of the Asia Pacific region. Elsewhere, Japanese
equities continued to perform well, supported by strong optimism about the direction of the countrys economic policies.
Having initially also benefited from global central banks buying of bonds in significant quantities, fixed income investors seemed
to increasingly favour higher yielding bonds as many areas of the government bond markets began looking fully valued. Concerns
over the timing of QE tapering subsequently led to a sharp rise in bond yields. Global government bonds ended the period in
negative performance territory, while UK index-linked gilts and investment grade corporate bonds proved somewhat more
resilient.
Over the period, there were a number of important regulatory developments, which are expected to affect the way fund providers
service their clients and communicate with them. They included:


The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published guidelines aimed at enhancing investor protection,
including additional disclosures being provided to all investors. In addition, new risk management obligations relating to the
use of collateral could result in lower permissible exposures to certain counterparties and governments.

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) will deliver mandatory clearing through central counterparties as
it attempts to increase the resilience of the market and its participants. The requirements apply to all counterparties who
engage in over-the-counter derivative business. The use of central counterparties and the associated compliance burden
imposed could also result in an increase in trading costs.

A US law, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is expected to have far-reaching consequences in many other
global jurisdictions. Financial institutions, including asset managers, will be required to obtain information on clients in
order to identify whether a withholding tax is payable. The tax is intended to prevent US investors circumventing US taxation
requirements through the use of non-US investments.

The performance of the Funds is covered in more detail in the separate Investment Adviser's report, which also sets out some
views regarding our investment outlook.
Overall, the assets under management in the BlackRock Strategic Funds range have increased from USD3,937.0m toUSD5,614.9m,
which reflected the continued risk-on sentiment among market participants over the period.
One of the fastest-growing Funds within the range was the multi-asset BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund, which
increased from EUR160.5m to EUR359.9m over the six months. The BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexi Dynamic Bond Fund,
which was launched during the six month period, reached USD80.1m.
It was a very good period for the BlackRock Global Absolute Return Bond Fund (GARBF), which increased in size from
EUR111.7m to EUR187.5m. This was during a period which was generally difficult for bond investors. GARBF targets positive
returns in all market conditions by extracting relative value from a very broad range of fixed income-related investment strategies,
some of them traditional actively managed, and some of them based on quantitative models. GARBF also uses derivatives to
enhance its risk-management capabilities. At times, these financial instruments are used to quickly build protection (hedge)
against sudden market movements.
The largest Fund in the BSF range, the BlackRock European Absolute Return Fund, grew from EUR1,203.6m to EUR1,504.3m over
the period. Having reached its capacity, the Fund is now closed to new subscriptions.
Another one of our flagship bond Funds, BlackRock Fixed Income Strategies Fund (FISF), grew from EUR113.0m to EUR179.7m.
The Fund aims to offer attractive returns at lower volatility than the underlying market by investing across different European
fixed income sectors. FISF is able to go actively short duration (reverse its sensitivity to interest rate changes) and protect clients
capital during periods of rising interest rates.

BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

BSF Chairmans Letter to Shareholders


November 2013 continued
The BlackRock European Credit Strategies Fund also attracted good flows for the period under review as it grew from EUR766.7m
to EUR1,104.1m.
Funds which experienced a reduction in size over the reporting period included BlackRock Americas Diversified Equity Absolute
Return Fund, which declined from USD235.1m to USD186.2m, BlackRock Latin American Opportunities Fund, which declined from
USD169.7m to USD146.0m and BlackRock Mining Opportunities Fund, which declined from USD10.3m to USD9.1m.
BlackRock is fully committed to remaining at the forefront of the European Mutual Funds Industry by bringing innovative
investment products to our clients and is actively working on adding other Funds to the range as our product development
process brings forward appropriate investment opportunities for clients.
On 12 June 2013, we launched the BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexi Dynamic Bond Fund, which seeks to maximise total return
bytaking long, synthetic long and synthetic short positions in predominantly fixed income securities. We also launched the
BlackRock Emerging Markets Allocation Fund on 15 November 2013. The Fund seeks to achieve total returns over the investment
cycle by investing in a broad range of asset classes that provide exposure to factors that are positively correlated with growth
inEmerging Markets (EM). Such asset classes include equity securities, fixed and floating-rate debt instruments, derivatives,
other investment companies, including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF),
currency-and commodity-related instruments and structured products.
The BlackRock European Opportunities Absolute Return Fund was closed in July 2013 following a number of large redemptions,
which led to a fall in the Funds assets to under 1 million, rendering it commercially unviable. Therefore, it was decided that it
was in the best interests of shareholders to close this Fund and distribute redemption proceeds to shareholders.

Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts

BSF Investment Advisers Report


Performance Overview
1 June 2013 30 November 2013
Market Overview
The period was underpinned by a growing belief in the
market that economic recovery in the US was solidifying,
despite the level of unemployment remaining high. But
sentiment faded somewhat after the Federal Reserve (Fed)
Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated that the banks
USD85 billion-a-month asset purchase programme might be
scaled back should economic data continue to improve.

Another particularly strong performer during the period was


the BlackRock European Diversified Equity Absolute Return
Fund, which gained 10.1%, compared to 0.1% for its
benchmark, 3 Month Euribor Index. The Fund invests in a
very diversified range of stocks and can therefore seek to
take advantage of a wide range of opportunities. It typically
exploits long and short positions in as many as 1,5002,000
European stocks, ranging from small to large companies.

Nevertheless, global equities gained over the six months,


with most developed regions finishing in positive territory.
Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific were particularly weak
amid concerns over economic growth and what the end of
the era of easy money might mean for capital flows.

The BlackRock Asia Extension Fund gained 5.9%,


outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex
Japan Index, which rose by 4.2%. Having reached its
capacity, the Fund is now closed to new subscriptions. The
BlackRock Americas Diversified Equity Absolute Return Fund
produced a positive absolute return of 2.8%, outperforming
its benchmark, LIBOR 3 Month Index, which was up 0.1%.

The picture in fixed income markets was quite different as


they largely failed to move forward, with weak returns across
most bond sectors, driven in part by the aforementioned
concerns over the Feds potential tapering of its QE
programme. The agitation this caused exposed the level of
reliance on liquidity injections that had flooded into asset
markets since the financial crisis in 2008.
Fund Performance
Equities continued to produce relatively strong performance,
with the MSCI All-Country World Index up by 10.5% over the
period in US dollar terms.
Among the key global equity markets, North America
provided the strongest returns, supported by continuing
improvement in economic indicators. Europe ex UK and
Emerging Markets closed the period in positive territory but
underperformed the broader global equity market, with Latin
America particularly weak.
In fixed income markets, both government and corporate
bonds posted declines as bond yields rose and expectations
grew regarding Fed tapering.
The performance data to which we refer in the following
comments is for the primary share class, stated in the base
currency of each respective Fund.
Equity Fund Performance
Performance of the equity-based Funds within the
BlackRock Strategic Funds range has been mixed but
predominantly positive. The best-performing fund was the
BlackRock European Opportunities Extension Fund, which
produced an absolute positive return of 21.8% over the
period, significantly outperforming its benchmark, the S&P
Europe BMI Index (Developed Markets only), which rose by
9.5%. This Fund seeks to outperform by blending a portfolio
of high conviction long positions with the flexibility to
establish synthetic short positions.

BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

The largest Fund in the BSF range, the BlackRock European


Absolute Return Fund, produced a positive return of 1.7%
over the period and outperformed its benchmark, the
3month Euro Libor Rate, which was up by 0.08%.
The weakest performers included the BlackRock Latin
American Opportunities Fund, which declined by 9.8% and
underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EM Latin America
Index, which was down by 5.1% over the period. Despite the
recent underperformance, the investment team believes that
their positioning in the region currently provides a good entry
point for long-term investors.
Another notable underperformer over the period was the
BlackRock Mining Opportunities Fund, which declined by
7.6%, compared to a fall of 2.1% for its benchmark, the HSBC
Global Mining Total Return Index. The mining sector and
other cyclical areas have struggled as global economic
growth remained weak.
Bond Fund Performance
The best-performing bond fund within the range was
BlackRock European Credit Strategies Fund, which gained
2.3%, compared to 0.1% of the 3 Month Euribor Index.
TheFund seeks to achieve a positive absolute return for
investors in different market environments. It seeks to
achieve its investment objective by taking long and short risk
positions in fixed income transferable securities and
fixed-income related securities (including derivatives)
issuedby companies, governments and agencies.
The other two funds within the range managed to the same
benchmark, BlackRock European Constrained Credit
Strategies Fund gained by 1.7% and BlackRock Global
Absolute Return Bond Fund fell by 0.2%.

BSF Investment Advisers Report


Performance Overview
1 June 2013 30 November 2013 continued
One of our flagship bond funds, BlackRock Fixed Income
Strategies Fund, produced an absolute positive return of
1.5% over the same period.
Mixed Fund Performance
The BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund
produced an absolute return of 1.5% over the six months,
outperforming its benchmark, the Euro Overnight Index
Average, which returned 0.0%.
Fund of Funds Performance
The BlackRock Funds of iShares Range, which was
launched in September 2010, offers investors four
diversified, multi-asset class funds for different risk
appetites: Conservative, Moderate, Growth and Dynamic.
The funds deliver their objectives via a combination of the
asset-allocation expertise of BlackRock and subsequent
investment in BlackRocks award-winning iShares Exchange
Traded Funds (ETF) range. All four funds achieved levels of
risk appropriate to their respective profiles.
The best-performing fund in this range was the BlackRock
Fund of iShares Dynamic, which delivered an absolute
return of 4.5%, which was followed by the BlackRock Fund
ofiShares Growth (+2.8%), the BlackRock Fund of iShares
Moderate (+1.1%) and, finally, the BlackRock Fund of
iShares Conservative (-0.5%).
Outlook
Our assumption is that equity and bond markets have been
driven heavily in 2013 by macroeconomic liquidity, and that
this will change in 2014, albeit only slightly. This will mean
changing outcomes for investors.
Our central scenario is that economic growth will be slow in
all major regions, policy will gradually tighten, and the
volatility in bond yields will steadily increase.
We would agree that some areas in equity markets are
looking fully valued, but in our view we are not in asset
bubble territory. Indeed, we believe that equities can rise
further from current levels, and that they still represent
better value than cash and bonds. However, further gains will
need to come alongside corporate earnings growth. Given the
current environment of slow economic growth, sluggish wage
growth and lacklustre consumer spending, that may not be
easy for companies to achieve.
In conclusion, we believe that economic and market
conditions should continue to improve. And while many
investors continue to sit on the sidelines, there are still
opportunities to be found, and in our view the risks of not
investing outweigh the risks of being in the market.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:


The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with the legal and regulatory requirements relating to the
preparation of the financial statements as prescribed by the
Luxembourg authorities for Luxembourg investment companies
and include the following significant accounting policies:
(a) Valuation of Investments and Other Assets
The Companys investments and other assets are valued as
follows:


the value of all securities and other assets forming any


particular Funds portfolio is determined by last known
prices upon close of the exchange on which those securities

Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts

or assets are traded or admitted for trading. For securities


traded on markets closing after the time of the valuation,
last known prices as of this time or such other time may
be used. If net transactions in Shares of the Fund on any
Dealing Day exceed the threshold set by the Board of
Directors of the Fund, then additional procedures apply (see
Note 2(h)). The value of any securities or assets traded on
any other regulated market is determined in the same way.
Where such securities or other assets are quoted or dealt
in on more than one stock exchange or regulated market
the Board of Directors of the Fund may in their discretion
select one of such stock exchanges or regulated markets
for such purposes;

151

Notes to the Financial Statements continued




for non-quoted securities or securities not traded or dealt in


on any stock exchange or other regulated market (including
securities of closed-ended investment funds), as well as
quoted or non quoted securities on such other markets
for which no valuation price is available, or securities for
which the quoted prices are, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Fund, not representative of the fair market
value, the value shall be determined prudently and in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund on the basis of
their expected disposal or acquisition price;

liquid assets such as time deposits may be valued at


nominal values plus any accrued interest or at amortised
cost basis;

cash, bills payable on demand, other debts and prepaid


expenses are valued at their nominal amount;

assets which include, in particular, interest and dividends


receivable, receivable for investments sold and receivable
for Fund shares subscribed are valued at nominal value;

liabilities which include, in particular, income distribution


payable, payable for investments purchased and payable for
Fund shares redeemed are valued at nominal value.

Funds that invest in fixed income transferable securities may


purchase To Be Announced securities (TBAs). This refers
to the common trading practice in the mortgage-backed
securities market in which a security is to be bought from a
mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date. At the time
of purchase the exact security is not known, but the main
characteristics of it are specified. Although the price has been
established at the time of purchase, the principal value has not
been finalised. As a TBA is not settled at the time of purchase,
this may lead to leveraged positions within a Fund. Purchasing
a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be
purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Risks may
also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
The Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if
it is deemed appropriate to do so. Proceeds of TBA sales are not
received until the contractual settlement date. During the time
a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable
securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment
(deliverable on or before the sale commitment date), are held
as cover for the transaction.
If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of
an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realises a gain or
loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealised gain
or loss on the underlying security. If the Fund delivers securities
under the commitment, the Fund realises a gain or loss from
the sale of the securities upon the unit price established at the
date the commitment was entered into.
The Funds had TBAs outstanding as of 30 November 2013,
which are included within receivable for investments sold

152

BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

and payable for investments purchased in the Statement


of Net Assets.
The market value of the Contracts for Difference (CFDs) is
determined by the traded price on the exchange on which
the underlying securities or assets are traded or admitted for
trading. For underlying securities traded on markets closing
after the time of the valuation, last known prices as of this time
or such other time may be used. The change in market value,
if any, is recorded as unrealised appreciation or depreciation
in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
Realised gains or losses on maturity or termination of the CFDs
are presented in the Statement of Operations and Changes
in Net Assets.
The liquidating value of futures, forward or options contracts
not traded on exchanges or on regulated markets and/or
other regulated markets shall be their net liquidating value
determined, pursuant to the policies established by the Board
of Directors of the Fund, on a basis consistently applied for
each different variety of contract. The liquidating value of
futures, forward and options contracts traded on exchanges or
on regulated markets and/or other regulated markets is based
upon the last available settlement prices of these contracts
on exchanges and regulated markets and/or other regulated
markets on which the particular futures, forward or options
contracts are traded by the Company; provided that if a futures,
forward or options contract could not be liquidated on the day
with respect to which net assets are being determined, the
basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract
shall be such value as the Board of Directors of the Fund may
deem fair and reasonable.
(b) Cost of Sales of Investments
Gains and losses on sales of investments have been
determined on the basis of the average cost method.
Gains and losses on sales of CFDs have been determined on
cost basis using the First In First Out (FIFO) method.
(c) Income from Investments
The Company takes credit for income from its investments on
the following basis:


interest income is accrued daily and includes the


amortisation on a straight line basis of premiums and
accretion of discounts;

bank interest, fixed deposit and money market deposit


income are recognised on an accrual basis;

dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.

(d) Financial Instruments


During the period, the Funds have entered into a number of
forward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued


Open forward foreign exchange transactions and futures
contracts are valued at the cost to close the contracts on
the valuation date. Surpluses/deficits arising from these
and closed unsettled contracts are taken to unrealised
appreciation/depreciation and are included under assets or
liabilities (as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets.
During the period, the Funds have entered into CFDs. CFDs
allow investors to take synthetic long or synthetic short
positions with a variable margin. Unlike shares, with CFDs
the buyer is potentially liable for far more than the amount
they paid on margin. This will result in the Funds holding
cash received from shareholders on deposit with various
institutions as described in the Prospectus. CFD positions
are entered into subject to a daily financing charge, applied
at a previously agreed rate above or below the applicable
benchmark. The related interest income or expense is
disclosed net of withholding tax in the Statement of
Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
The Funds can write covered call and put options and
purchase call and put options. When the Funds write and/or
purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium received
or paid by the Funds is reflected as a liability or an asset.
Theliability for a written option and the asset for a purchased
option is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current
value of the option. When a security is sold or bought through
an exercise of an option, the premium received (orpaid) is
deducted from (or added to) the basis of the security sold or
bought. When an option expires (or the Funds enter into a
closing transaction), the Funds realise a gain or loss on the
option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (orgain
or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transactions
exceeds premium paid or received).
The Funds have entered into swap agreements to exchange
the return generated by one instrument for the return
generated by another investment. In the case of credit
default swaps, a series of premiums is paid to the seller of
the protection, in return for a payment contingent on a credit

(g) Income Equalisation


The Company operates Income Equalisation arrangements
with a view to ensure that the level of net income accrued
within a Fund is not affected by the issue, conversion or
redemption of Fund shares during an accounting period.
The Income Equalisation is netted in the Movements in share
capital in the Statement of Operation and Changes in Net
Assets.
(h) Swing Adjustment
If on any dealing day the aggregate transactions in shares
of all classes of a Fund result in a net increase or decrease
of shares which exceeds a threshold set by the Board of
Directors of the Fund, the Net Asset Value of the relevant
Fund may be adjusted by an amount which reflects the
dealing costs that may be incurred by the Fund and the
estimated bid/offer spread of the assets in which the Fund
invests. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Fund may
agree to include anticipated fiscal charges in the amount of
the adjustment. In accordance with the prospectus such a
swing was applied as at 30 November 2013 to the BlackRock
Latin American Opportunities Fund.

154

BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

The published/dealing NAV per share is disclosed in the Three


Year Summary of Net Asset Values and may include a swing
pricing adjustment. This adjustment is not recognised in the
Statement of Net Assets or the Statement of Operations and
Changes in Net Assets.
(i) Fair valuation
If in any case a particular value is not ascertainable by the
methods outlined above, or if the Board of Directors of the
Fund considers that some other method of valuation more
accurately reflects the fair value of the relevant security
or other asset for the purpose concerned, the method of
valuation of the security or asset will be such as the Board
of Directors of the Fund in its absolute discretion decides.
Discrepancies in the value of securities may result where
the underlying markets are closed for business at the time
of calculating the net asset value of certain Funds. The
Board of Directors of the Fund may set specific thresholds,
that where exceeded, result in an adjustment to the value of
these securities to their fair value by applying a specific index
adjustment.
For BlackRock Asia Extension Fund and BlackRock Emerging
Markets Absolute Return Fund in case of price variation, the
Board of Directors of the Fund may decide to apply a fair
valuation factor on the market value of the Fund.
(j) Transaction costs
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of securities.
An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred
if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the
security. When a security is recognised initially, it is measured
at its market value, plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of the security.
Transaction costs excluding custodian transaction fees on
purchases or sales of securities are included within net
realised gain/(loss) or net change in unrealised appreciation/
(depreciation) within the Statement of Operations and
Changes in Net Assets of each Fund. Custodian transaction
fees are included in custodian and depositary fees in the
Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets of the
Fund. Refer to notes 6 for further information.

4. Management and Distribution Fees
During the period the Company paid management fees to the
Management Company, BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A.
The Company pays management fees at an annual rate that
varies from 0.50% to 2.00% of the Net Asset Value (NAV),
with the exception of Class X shares, which do not pay a
management fee but rather a fee to the Investment Adviser or
affiliates under an agreement. The level of management fee
varies according to which Fund and share class the investor
buys. These fees accrue daily, are based on the NAV of the
relevant Fund and are paid monthly. Certain costs and fees
are paid out of the management fee, including the fees of the
Investment Advisers.
Where a Fund invests a substantial proportion of its net
assets in other UCITS and other Undertaking for Collective
Investments (UCIs), the Investment Adviser will ensure that
the total management fee (excluding any performance fee, if
any) charged to such Fund (including management fees from
other UCITS and UCIs in which it invests) shall not exceed
3.75% of the net asset value of the Fund.
During the period, the following active Funds were subject to
management fee rebate:
BlackRock Emerging Markets Allocation Fund, BlackRock
Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund, BlackRock Fund of
iShares Conservative, BlackRock Fund of iShares Dynamic,

Distributor.
Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts

NAV for Class C Shares, 0.50% of the NAV for Class E Shares,
0.50% of the NAV for Class L Shares and 0.75% of the NAV
for Class M Shares. These fees accrue daily, are based on
the NAV of the relevant Fund reflecting, when applicable,
any adjustment to the NAV of the relevant Fund, and are
paidmonthly.

Fund are disclosed in detail in the Prospectus and KIID of the
Company.

5. Administration Fees

Company.
The level of administration fee may vary at the Board
of Directors of the Fund discretion, as agreed with the
Management Company, and will apply at different rates
across the various Funds and Share Classes issued by the
Company. However, it has been agreed between the Board of
Directors of the Fund and the Management Company that the
administration fee currently paid shall not exceed 0.30% per

0.05%

K, L, M

0.10%

Investment in I, T and X Shares is restricted to institutional investors within the meaning


of Article 174 of the law of 17 December 2010.

The Board of Directors of the Fund and the Management


Company set the level of the administration fee at a rate
which aims to ensure that the total expense ratio of each
Fund remains competitive when compared across a broad
market of similar investment products available to investors
in the Funds, taking into account a number of criteria such as
the market sector of each Fund and the Funds performance
relative to its peer group.
The administration fee is used by the Management Company
to meet all fixed and variable operating and administrative
costs and expenses incurred by the Company, with the
exception of the custodian fees and distribution fees,
plus any taxes thereon and any taxes at an investment or
Company level. These operating and administrative expenses
include all third party expenses and other recoverable costs
incurred by or on behalf of the Company from time to time,
including but not limited to, fund accounting fees, transfer
agency fees (including sub-transfer agency and associated
155

Notes to the Financial Statements continued


platform dealing charges), all professional costs, such as
consultancy, legal, tax advisory and audit fees, Directors
fees, travel expenses, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
printing, publication, translation and all other costs relating
to shareholder reporting, regulatory filing and licence fees,
correspondent and other banking charges, software support
and maintenance, operational costs and expenses attributed
to the Investor Servicing teams and other global administration
services provided by various BlackRock Group companies.
The Management Company bears the financial risk of ensuring
that the Funds total expense ratio remains competitive.
Accordingly the Management Company is entitled to retain
any amount of the administration fee paid to it which is in
excess of the actual expenses incurred by the Company
during any period whereas any costs and expenses incurred
by the Company in any period which exceed the amount of
administration fee that is paid to the Management Company,
shall be borne by the Management Company or another
BlackRock Group company.
Directors of the Fund who are not representatives of the
BlackRock Group receive a fee of EUR 25,000 per annum gross
of taxation in return for their duties performed. The Chairman
receives a fee of EUR 27,500 per annum gross of taxation.
Directors who are representatives of the BlackRock Group
have agreed to waive their Directors fees.
6. Custodian and Depository Fees
The Custodian receives a fee in respect of each Fund. These
fees are to remunerate the Custodian for safekeeping and
transaction costs applicable to each Fund. These fees vary in
respect of each Fund depending on the value of assets under
management and the volume of trading in that Fund.
For Funds which have low volume trading the safekeeping
fee which accrues daily, will range from 0.005% to 0.20%
per annum and the transaction fees will range from USD 7
to USD 50 per transaction.
For Funds which engage in higher trading volumes, the
Custodian does not charge separate safekeeping and
transaction fees. The Custodian receives a fee which is
charged on a sliding scale, based on the value of assets
under management and the volume of trading within each
Fund. These fees range from 1 basis point to 15 basis points
of assets under management of each Fund, depending on
whether a particular Fund is considered to be a medium
volume trading Fund or high volume trading Fund.
Each of the Funds is also subject to a minimum annual fee
which will be set at either, USD 30,000 for a low volume
trading Fund, USD 100,000 for a medium volume trading Fund
or USD 150,000 for a high volume trading Fund.
Trading volumes for each Fund vary according to the
investment strategy of each Fund. The combined custody
cost to each Fund depends on its asset allocation and trading
activity at any time.

(as applicable to the relevant Fund, as stated in Appendix F
of the Prospectus) of the amount by which the net asset value
per share return exceeds the appropriate benchmark return

indicated in Appendix E of the Prospectus.
