Source: BlackRock, as of 9/30/19. The model performance shown is hypothetical and for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of a specific investment product or any client account. Performance does not include any overlay fee, brokerage fees, or commissions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. For standardized performance on the underlying holdings, please see the end of this document. Volatility is based on ex-ante risk, which is an estimate of a portfolios’ annualized standard deviation based on its exposure to 2,200 risk factors in BlackRock’s proprietary risk model. Risk factors are objective, measurable characteristics of a security that historically had explanatory power of volatility. Exposures to these risk factors are aggregated, with correlations taken into account, to arrive at an estimate of total standard deviation at the portfolio level. Yield levels for portfolios correspond to blend, tax-agnostic version of models and represent the yield-to-worst of the underlying model holdings. Benchmark yields represented by yield-to-worst for fixed income and by 12-month dividend yield for equity. Components of the risk benchmarks are as follows: 30% MSCI World Index & 70% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for Conservative MF/ETF, 50% MSCI World Index & 50% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for Moderate MF/ETF, and 70% MSCI World Index & 30% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for Growth MF/ETF. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Multi-Asset Income MF/ETF Models are comprised of three multi-asset model portfolios that each seek to provide yield at varying risk levels.

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month endmay be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. eastern time (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Performance shown may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment advisor to the fund for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower without such waivers. Performance for periods longer than a year has been annualized using a geometric mean.

Important notesInvesting involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.Important Risks of the Funds: The funds are actively managed and their characteristics will vary. These Funds may invest significantly in BlackRock equity and/or fixed income mutual funds (“underlying funds”) and affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs. As such, it is subject to the risks associated with the underlying BlackRock funds in which they invests. Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. International investing involves special risks including, but not limited to political risks, currency fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility. These risks may be heightened for investments in emerging markets. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Asset allocation strategies do not assure profit and do not protect against loss. Non-diversification of investments means that more assets are potentially invested in fewer securities than if investments were diversified, so risk is increased because each investment has a greater effect on performance. These funds may use derivatives to hedge its investments or to seek to enhance returns. Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and increase volatility. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Additional Risks for the Dynamic High Income Fund: Covered call risk is the risk that the issuer will forgo any profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option but retain the risk of loss if the security declines in value. A number of factors may influence the option holder’s decision to exercise the option, including the value of the security, price volatility, dividend yield and interest rates. To the extent that these factors increase the value of the call option, the option holder is more likely to exercise the option, which may negatively affect the fund.

1 The Morningstar Analyst Rating is not a credit or risk rating. It is a subjective evaluation performed by the mutual fund analysts of Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar evaluates funds based on five key pillars, which are process, performance, people, parent, and price. Morningstar's analysts use this five pillar evaluation to identify funds they believe are more likely to outperform over the long term on a risk-adjusted basis. Analysts consider quantitative and qualitative factors in their research, and the weighting of each pillar may vary. The Analyst Rating ultimately reflects the analyst's overall assessment and is overseen by Morningstar's Analyst Rating Committee. The approach serves not as a formula but as a framework to ensure consistency across Morningstar's global coverage universe. The Analyst Rating scale ranges from Gold to Negative, with Gold being the highest rating and Negative being the lowest rating. A "Bronze"-rated fund has advantages that outweigh the disadvantages across the five pillars, with sufficient level of analyst conviction to warrant a positive rating. Analyst Ratings are evaluated at least every 14 months. "For more detailed information about Morningstar's Analyst Rating, including its methodology, please go to http://corporate.morningstar.com/us/documents/MethodologyDocuments/AnalystRatingforFundsMethodology.pdf. The Morningstar Analyst Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a mutual fund. Morningstar Analyst Ratings are based on Morningstar's current expectations about future events; therefore, in no way does Morningstar represent ratings as a guarantee nor should they be viewed by an investor as such. Morningstar Analyst Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar's expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected.

Important notes2 The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60- 119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. The Managed Income Fund received a received a Morningstar Rating of 3 stars for the 3-year period, 4 stars for the 5-year period and 4 stars for the 10-year period, rated against 178, 149 and 86 Allocation--15% to 30% Equity Funds, respectively as of 9/30/19. The Multi-Asset Income Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 4 stars for the 3-year period, 3 stars for the 5-year period and 4 stars for the 10-year period, rated against 497, 402 and 267 Allocation--30% to 50% Equity Funds, respectively as 9/30/19. The Dynamic High Income Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 5 stars for the 3-year period, - stars for the 5-year period and - stars for the 10-year period, rated against 376, 307 and 179 World Allocation Funds, respectively as of 9/30/19.
