Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of the total U.S. investment-grade bond market, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Fund's underlying index).

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio is 100% invested in the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG). The underlying index measures the performance of the total U.S. investment-grade bond market. The underlying index includes investment-grade U.S. Treasury bonds, government-related bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed pass-through securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities ("ABS") that are publicly offered for sale in the United States. The underlying index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies. Components of the underlying index primarily include mortgage-backed pass-through and treasury securities, and industrials companies. The components of the underlying index, and the degree to which these components represent certain industries, are likely to change over time. The securities in the underlying index have $250 million or more of outstanding face value and have at least one year remaining to maturity, with the exception of amortizing securities such as ABS and mortgage-backed securities, which have lower thresholds as defined by the index provider. In addition, the securities in the underlying index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate and non-convertible. Certain types of securities, such as state and local government series bonds, structured notes with embedded swaps or other special features, private placements, floating-rate securities and Eurobonds are excluded from the underlying index. The underlying index is market capitalization-weighted and the securities in the underlying index are updated on the last business day of each month. BlackRock uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund.
