Fund details
The investment objective of the sub-fund consists of replicating the performance of the
Swiss Performance Index (SPI® - the "reference index") by using the replicating
strategy (full replication) and in the approximate weightings of the reference index. It
may be the case here that the sub-fund does not invest in all securities of the reference
index, but uses a representative selection of the reference index (Optimized Sampling).

Index description
The reference index is an equity index of publicly traded companies which have their
primary listing on SIX Swiss Exchange. Only investment companies and equities with a
free float of less than 20% are excluded from the reference index. This is therefore an
equity index which aims to replicate the performance of the Swiss equity market as a
whole. The weightings of the individual stocks in the reference index are based on their
market capitalization. As at 07 March 2017, the four largest constituents of the
reference index were: Nestlé SA, Novartis AG, Roche Holding AG, and UBS AG. The
composition of the index is periodically updated by SIX Swiss Exchange on the basis of
the index regulations. For the last available composition of the reference index and the
index regulations, as well as for other information on the index (e.g. rebalancing
frequency), please see www.six-swiss-exchange.com.

In principle, all funds may participate in securities lending. BlackRock, acting as an agent, currently lends securities on behalf of certain funds with the
objective of generating incremental returns for the funds while maintaining a low level of risk.
Should a particular Fund undertake securities lending, it will receive 62.5% of the income generated by this activity and the remaining 37.5% will be received by
BlackRock as the securities lending agent. The fact that BlackRock receives a portion of the fee generated from the overall securities lending income does not increase
the costs of running the Fund. Securities lending involves risk such as that of counterparty default. As an additional safeguard in the event of a counterparty default,
BlackRock, Inc. provides the Fund with an indemnity to cover losses associated with borrower default — in the event of a default, if a shortfall exists between the
proceeds of the sale of the collateral and the cost to repurchase loaned securities, BlackRock reimburses the Fund in full under the terms of the indemnity.
