This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in member countries of the ASEAN 1 economic organisation at the time of investment. The Fund places particular emphasis on leading companies that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, have attained or exhibited potential to attain above average market share in the geography they operate, or in one or more products or services within its principal sector, or profitability or sales growth or superior returns. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. 1 ASEAN means The Association of Southeast Asian Nations which was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration). As of the date of the Prospectus of BGF, the members of ASEAN are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. 3

5 BlackRock Global Funds ASEAN Leaders Fund Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. As the Fund is an equity fund, it does not anticipate investing more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities issued and/or guaranteed by any single sovereign currently rated non-investment grade*. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets (most ASEAN member countries except Singapore) may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 3. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 4. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in member countries of ASEAN. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 6. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. * Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 4

6 BlackRock Global Funds ASEAN Leaders Fund 7. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 8. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. How has the Fund performed?

9 BlackRock Global Funds Asia Pacific Equity Income Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Monthly: A6, A8 Quarterly: A5(G), C5(G) Yearly: A4(G) Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. All distributing share classes in this Fund pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A and C shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To achieve an above average income without sacrificing long term capital growth by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in, the Asia Pacific* region excluding Japan. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as India, South Korea and Taiwan). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. * Asia Pacific refers to the region comprising the countries in the Asian continent and surrounding Pacific islands including Australia and New Zealand. 8

10 BlackRock Global Funds Asia Pacific Equity Income Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Income-generating Investment Strategy The Fund pursues an investment strategy in order to generate income which may reduce the potential for capital growth and future income of the Fund. Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 4, 5, 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 4. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets (including certain Asia Pacific countries) may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 9

18 BlackRock Global Funds Asian Growth Leaders Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in, Asia, excluding Japan. The Fund places emphasis on sectors and leading companies that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, exhibit growth investment characteristics, such as above-average growth rates in earnings or sales and high or improving returns on capital. Such companies may also have attained or exhibited potential to attain above average market share in the geography they operate, or in one or more products or services within its principal sector. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China ( PRC ) via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect ( Stock Connect ). For the avoidance of doubt, it is expected that the Fund s investments in the PRC via Stock Connect shall be less than 30% of the Fund s total assets. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as India, South Korea and Taiwan). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. As the Fund is an equity fund, it does not anticipate investing more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities issued and/or guaranteed by any single sovereign currently rated non-investment grade*.

Certain share classes (Class 6) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of its fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Class 6 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). 20

22 BlackRock Global Funds Asian Local Bond Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of its total assets in local currency-denominated bonds (including non-investment grade* bonds) issued by governments/authorities of, and companies based in, or with the majority of their business in Asia, excluding Japan. The Fund may also invest in distressed securities. It is not anticipated that the Fund will invest more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities issued and/or guaranteed by any single sovereign currently rated non-investment grade*. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets (including certain Asian countries) may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. * Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 21

23 BlackRock Global Funds Asian Local Bond Fund Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 4. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 6. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 8. Liquidity Risks The size and trading volume of securities in the markets relevant to the Fund may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may lead to investments in such securities becoming less liquid, making it difficult to dispose of them which may reduce the Fund s returns/lead to losses for investors. 9. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 10. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries and currencies (such as Renminbi, which is subject to foreign exchange restrictions) prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries or currencies. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 11. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in Asia, excluding Japan. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 22

24 BlackRock Global Funds Asian Local Bond Fund 12. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. 13. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Class 6) or payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Class 6) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital or gross income), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share.

Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 13. Liquidity Risks The size and trading volume of securities in the markets relevant to the Fund may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may lead to investments in such securities becoming less liquid, making it difficult to dispose of them which may reduce the Fund s returns/lead to losses for investors. 28

45 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2, C2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Daily: A1, C1 Monthly: A3, A6, A8 Annual: A4 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Classes 6 and 8) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A and C shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in bonds (including non-investment grade^) issued by governments/authorities of, and companies based or with the majority of their business in, emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). The Fund may also invest in distressed securities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by governments in each of Brazil, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela, which are currently rated noninvestment grade^. Although the Fund is not an index-tracking fund, the Investment Adviser will take into account the constituent weighting of the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified Index when making investment decisions. Currently, the government bond markets of Brazil, Turkey and Venezuela each account for a significant weight within this index. Further, the Fund may hold more than 10% in Ukraine government bonds due to compelling economic reasons. Due to market movements, as well as credit/investment rating changes, the exposure may change over time. The above countries are for reference only and may change without prior notice to the investors. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. ^ Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 44

46 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 4. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 5. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 45

47 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund 6. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). The Fund may have greater exposure (up to 20% per country) of its assets in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by non-investment grade countries i.e. Brazil, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela, which may result in higher credit/default risk and concentration risk. 7. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 8. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 9. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 46

48 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund 10. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 11. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 12. Liquidity Risks The size and trading volume of securities in the markets relevant to the Fund may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may lead to investments in such securities becoming less liquid, making it difficult to dispose of them which may reduce the Fund s returns/lead to losses for investors.

51 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in bonds (including non-investment grade^) denominated in any currency issued by companies based in, or with the majority of their business, in emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may also invest in distressed securities. It is not anticipated that the Fund will invest more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities issued and/or guaranteed by any single sovereign currently rated non-investment grade^. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. ^ Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 50

52 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund 3. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 4. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 6. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 8. Liquidity Risks The size and trading volume of securities in the markets relevant to the Fund may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may lead to investments in such securities becoming less liquid, making it more difficult to dispose of them which may reduce the Fund s returns/lead to losses for investors. 9. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 10. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries and currencies (such as Renminbi, which is subject to foreign exchange restrictions) prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries or currencies. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 51

56 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund Dividend policy: (Class A as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Monthly: A6, A8 Quarterly: A5(G) Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. All distributing share classes in this Fund pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To achieve an above average income without sacrificing long term capital growth by investing globally at least 70% of its total assets in stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in, emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. 55

57 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Income-generating Investment Strategy The Fund pursues an investment strategy in order to generate income which may reduce the potential for capital growth and future income of the Fund. Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 5, 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 3. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 4. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 56

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by governments in each of Brazil, Hungary and Turkey, which are currently rated non-investment grade^. Although this Fund is not an index-tracking fund, the Investment Adviser will take into account the constituent weighting of the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index when making investment decisions. Currently, the government bond markets of Brazil, Hungary and Turkey each account for a significant weight within this index. Due to market movements, as well as credit/investment rating changes, the exposure may change over time. The above countries are for reference only and may change without prior notice to the investors. ^ Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 64

66 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 4. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 65

67 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund 5. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). The Fund may have greater exposure (up to 20% per country) of its assets in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by non-investment grade countries i.e. Brazil, Hungary and Turkey, which may result in higher credit/default risk and concentration risk. 6. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 8. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 9. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries and currencies (such as Renminbi, which is subject to foreign exchange restrictions,) prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries or currencies. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 10. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 11. Liquidity Risks The size and trading volume of securities in the markets relevant to the Fund may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may lead to investments in such securities becoming less liquid, making it difficult to dispose of them which may reduce the Fund s returns/lead to losses for investors. 66

68 BlackRock Global Funds Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund 12. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. How has the Fund performed?

79 BlackRock Global Funds Euro Reserve Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity by investing at least 90% of the Fund s assets in investment grade* bonds denominated in Euro and Euro cash. The Fund will invest only in securities with a residual maturity until the legal redemption date of less than or equal to 397 days and the Fund will maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days and a weighted average life of no more than 120 days.

Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 4.

80 BlackRock Global Funds Euro Reserve Fund 7. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund.

83 BlackRock Global Funds Euro Short Duration Bond Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in bonds denominated in Euro with duration of less than five years, and at least 80% in investment grade* bonds. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). * Meaning, at the time of purchase BBB (Standard & Poor s) or equivalent or better by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 82

84 BlackRock Global Funds Euro Short Duration Bond Fund 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 5. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 6. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in Europe. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 7. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. How has the Fund performed?

91 BlackRock Global Funds European Equity Income Fund Dividend policy: (Class A as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Monthly: A6, A8 Quarterly: A5(G) Yearly: A4(G) Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. All distributing share classes in this Fund pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To achieve an above average income without sacrificing long term capital growth by investing at least 70% of its total assets in stocks of companies based in or with the majority of their business in, Europe. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as Hungary, Poland and Russia). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. As the Fund is an equity fund, it does not anticipate investing more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. 90

92 BlackRock Global Funds European Equity Income Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Income-generating Investment Strategy The Fund pursues an investment strategy in order to generate income which may reduce the potential for capital growth and future income of the Fund. Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 4, 5, 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 4. Geographical Concentration Risks/Eurozone Crisis Risk The Fund s investments are concentrated in Europe. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments and which may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone markets. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund s investments in Europe may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 6. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 91

93 BlackRock Global Funds European Equity Income Fund 7. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 8. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 9. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. How has the Fund performed?

The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 6. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 7. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in Europe. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 8. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. 95

100 BlackRock Global Funds European Special Situations Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in, Europe. The Fund places emphasis on special situations companies that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, are companies with potential for improvement that the market has failed to appreciate. Such companies generally take the form of small, mid and large capitalisation companies that are undervalued and exhibit growth investment characteristics, such as above-average growth rates in earnings or sales and high or improving returns on capital. In some cases such companies can also benefit from changes in corporate strategy and business restructuring. In normal market conditions the Fund invests at least 50% of its assets in the stocks of companies based in, or with the majority of their business in, Europe and which form the bottom 30% by market capitalisation of European stock markets. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as Hungary, Poland and Russia). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund.

Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund.

108 BlackRock Global Funds Fixed Income Global Opportunities Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2, C2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Daily: A1, C1 Monthly: A3, A6, A8 Quarterly: A5, C5 Yearly: A4 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Classes 6 and 8) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A and C shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in bonds (including non-investment grade*) denominated in various currencies and issued by governments/authorities and companies worldwide. The Fund may also invest in distressed securities, emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea) and To Be Announced securities ( TBAs ). TBAs are mortgage-backed securities ( MBS ) bought from a mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date, where the exact security is not known but the main characteristics are specified, and can be either investment grade or non-investment grade. The Fund may also invest without limit in asset-backed securities ( ABS ) and MBS, whether rated investment grade or not. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. For the purpose of Hong Kong-specific disclosure requirements, the Fund may use derivatives for hedging and extensively for non-hedging/investment purposes. Derivatives such as government bond futures and interest rate swaps may be used for hedging and mitigating interest rate risk. Foreign exchange forwards and futures may be used to minimize currency exposure. In addition to using derivatives for hedging and risk mitigation, the Fund may use derivatives such as futures, foreign exchange derivatives, swaps and options extensively for non-hedging/investment purposes but it is not limited to a particular strategy regarding the derivatives usage. * Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 107

109 BlackRock Global Funds Fixed Income Global Opportunities Fund The Fund uses Absolute Value at Risk to monitor and manage its global exposure. In normal market conditions the expected level of leverage for the Fund is 500% of its net asset value using sum of notional approach or up to 300% of its net asset value using the commitment approach. The actual average level of leverage using sum of notional approach over the past financial year ended 31 August 2015 was 746%. The expected level of leverage may be higher or lower in exceptional circumstances, for example when there are sudden movements in investment prices. The expected level of leverage is indicative and not a regulatory limit. The level of leverage using the sum of notional approach is expressed as a ratio between the aggregate of the notional values of all derivatives entered into by the Fund (including derivatives that are used for investment purposes and/or for hedging purposes) and its net asset value. The level of leverage using the commitment approach is expressed as a ratio between the market value of the equivalent position in the underlying assets of the derivatives (taking into account the possible netting and hedging arrangements) and its net asset value. Certain derivatives used by the Fund may be in respect of asset classes not correlated with the underlying securities positions held by the Fund such as derivatives on currencies, inflation and indices. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 4. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 5. Risks associated with investments in ABS and MBS The obligations associated with these securities may be subject to greater credit, liquidity and interest rate risk compared to other fixed income securities such as government issued bonds. ABS and MBS are often exposed to extension risk (where obligations in the underlying assets are not paid on time) and prepayment risks (where obligations on the underlying assets are paid earlier than expected). These risks may have a substantial impact on the timing and size of the cashflows paid by the securities and may negatively impact the returns of the securities. 6. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 108

110 BlackRock Global Funds Fixed Income Global Opportunities Fund 7. Delayed Delivery Transactions Risks TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund. 8. Derivatives Risks Risks associated with derivatives include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and market risk. The leverage effect of derivatives can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested and extensive exposure to derivatives may lead to a significant loss by the Fund. The Fund may have commitment leverage of more than 100% of its net asset value. This may magnify the potential impact of any negative change in the value of underlying assets on the Fund and may also increase the volatility of the Fund s price and may lead to significant losses. Certain derivatives such as derivatives on currencies, inflation and indices may be uncorrelated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. In this regard the Fund may suffer significant losses notwithstanding that there may be no loss in respect of the underlying securities positions (predominantly fixed income securities) held by the Fund. 9. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 10. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 11. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 109

111 BlackRock Global Funds Fixed Income Global Opportunities Fund 12. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 13. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debts. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign Issuer In case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks).

Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by following an asset allocation policy that invests in stocks, bonds (including non-investment grade*), collective investment schemes, cash and money market instruments worldwide. The Fund may invest up to 80% of its assets in equities; up to 80% in fixed income; up to 20% in cash and cash equivalents; and up to 20% in alternative investments (including hedge funds, property, commodities). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. * Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 112

114 BlackRock Global Funds Flexible Multi-Asset Fund The Fund adopts a flexible approach to asset allocation, driven by proprietary macroeconomic research on equity, bond, currency markets and alternative investments. We compare current valuations to our own analysis of the economic cycle to determine whether our estimated returns are more or less optimistic than the consensus. In order to generate returns in a risk-controlled manner, we monitor factors outside our basic cycle-valuation framework, including investor sentiment and positioning. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. The performance of the Fund is partially dependent on the success of the asset allocation strategy employed by the Fund. There is no assurance that the strategy employed by the Fund will be successful and therefore the investment objectives of the Fund may not be achieved. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 4. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 5. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 6. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 113

115 BlackRock Global Funds Flexible Multi-Asset Fund 7. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone).

118 BlackRock Global Funds Global Allocation Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks, bonds (including non-investment* grade) and short term securities issued by companies and governments/ authorities worldwide. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. The Fund will generally invest in securities that show characteristics of being undervalued. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in equities; and up to 100% in fixed income and money market instruments. The Fund may also invest in distressed securities and emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). The Fund adopts a fully managed investment policy, varying from time to time the combination of United States and foreign equity securities, debt and money market securities, both with respect to types of securities and markets, in response to changing market conditions and economic trends. In deciding between equity and debt investments, the Fund looks at a number of factors, such as the relative opportunity for capital appreciation, capital recovery risk, dividend yields and the level of interest rates paid on debt securities of different maturities. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays.

119 BlackRock Global Funds Global Allocation Fund 4. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 5. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 6. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 7. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 8. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 9. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks.

Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 10. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. 11. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due.

123 BlackRock Global Funds Global Corporate Bond Fund Dividend policy: (Class A as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Monthly: A3, A6, A8 Quarterly: A5 Yearly: A4 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Classes 6 and 8) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors.

125 BlackRock Global Funds Global Corporate Bond Fund 8. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 9. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 124

Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies worldwide. The Fund will generally invest in stocks that show characteristics of being undervalued. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. The Fund may also invest in other emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). 127

129 BlackRock Global Funds Global Dynamic Equity Fund Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 3. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 4. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 5. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 128

144 BlackRock Global Funds Global Government Bond Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 4. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 6. Delayed Delivery Transactions Risks TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund. 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 143

148 BlackRock Global Funds Global High Yield Bond Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2, C2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Daily: A1, C1 Monthly: A3, A6, A8 Quarterly: A5 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Classes 6 and 8) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors.

Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 4. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns.

Delayed Delivery Transactions Risks TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund. 148

150 BlackRock Global Funds Global High Yield Bond Fund 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 8. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 9. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 10. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 149

The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea) and To Be Announced securities ( TBAs ).

Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 8. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 9. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 154

159 BlackRock Global Funds Global Multi-Asset Income Fund Dealing frequency: Daily Financial year end: 31 August Base currency: USD Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2, C2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Monthly: A3(G), A6, C6, A8 Quarterly: A5(G) Yearly: A4(G) Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. All distributing share classes in this Fund pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Classes 6 and 8 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A and C shares What is this Product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To seek an above average income without sacrificing long term capital growth by following a flexible asset allocation policy that invests in stocks, bonds (including non-investment grade*), collective investment schemes, cash, and money market securities worldwide. The Fund may invest up to 80% in equities; up to 80% in fixed income; up to 20% in alternatives (including other collective investment schemes); up to 20% in cash and cash equivalents; and up to 15% in commodities. The Fund may invest in emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. It is not anticipated that the Fund will invest more than 10% of its net asset value in debt securities issued and/or guaranteed by any single sovereign currently rated non-investment grade*. The Fund uses fundamental analysis within a flexible asset allocation approach. Economic/earnings cycles and valuations are the main drivers behind asset class returns over the medium-term, although other factors, including investor sentiment, influence investment decisions particularly over short periods. The Fund compares income opportunities and expected returns across asset classes in order to target a consistent level of income and to balance this with the potential for capital appreciation over the long-term. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. * Debt securities which are unrated or rated at the time of purchase BB+ or lower (Standard & Poor s rating) or equivalent rating by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 158

160 BlackRock Global Funds Global Multi-Asset Income Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. The performance of the Fund is partially dependent on the success of the asset allocation strategy employed by the Fund. There is no assurance that the strategy employed by the Fund will be successful and therefore the investment objectives of the Fund may not be achieved. 2. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Income-generating Investment Strategy The Fund pursues an investment strategy in order to generate income which may reduce the potential for capital growth and future income of the Fund. Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Classes 6 and 8), payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8) or payment of implied interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging as dividends (Class 8) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital, gross income or interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains (if any)), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. Payment of Dividends from Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 3. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund. However, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 159

161 BlackRock Global Funds Global Multi-Asset Income Fund 5. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 6. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 7. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debts, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 8. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 9. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 10. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 160

The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund.

Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets (including India) may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. India has recently enacted changes to the Indian tax regime which may negatively impact the Fund. 4. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 5. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in India. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 172

Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Income-generating Investment Strategy The Fund pursues an investment strategy in order to generate income which may reduce the potential for capital growth and future income of the Fund. Risks Associated with Fees Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Classes 3, 4 and 5) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of gross income), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share. 4. Limited Market Sectors Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the natural resources sector, which may include investments in commodities-linked exchange traded funds. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments. 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 6. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 7. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. 189

191 BlackRock Global Funds Natural Resources Growth & Income Fund Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 8. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 9. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. How has the Fund performed?

214 BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar Core Bond Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2, C2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Daily: A1, C1 Monthly: A3, A6 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Class 6) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of its fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Class 6 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors. US$5,000 initial, US$1,000 additional for Class A and C shares What is this product? This is a sub-fund of BlackRock Global Funds ( BGF ), an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg. Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in bonds denominated in US dollars (at least 80% being investment grade* bonds). The Fund may also invest in To Be Announced securities ( TBAs ). TBAs are mortgage-backed securities bought from a mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date, where the exact security is not known but the main characteristics are specified, and can be either investment grade or noninvestment grade. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. * Meaning, at the time of purchase BBB (Standard & Poor s) or equivalent or better by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 213

215 BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar Core Bond Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Advisers may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 5. Delayed Delivery Transactions Risks TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund. 6. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 7. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the US. This may result in greater volatility than more broad-based investments. 8. Non-Investment Grade Risks Investment in non-investment grade bonds, including sovereign debt, may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks. If the issuer of the bond defaults, or if the non-investment grade bonds fall in value, investors may suffer significant losses. Non-investment grade bonds tend to be more volatile, and the market for these bonds is generally less liquid, than investment grade bonds. Adverse events or market conditions may have a larger negative impact on the prices of non-investment grade bonds. 9. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. 214

216 BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar Core Bond Fund 10. Turnover risk The Fund may have large exposure to US Treasury bonds. The Investment Advisers support the liquidity of the Fund by ensuring that it invests in on the run Treasury bonds which are those that have recently been issued and are hence most liquid, and rotating such bonds to offer greater liquidity for a lower cost of trading. However, this policy may result in additional transaction costs which will be borne by the Fund and may adversely affect the Fund s net asset value and the interest of the relevant Shareholders. 11. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Class 6) or payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Class 6) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital or gross income), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share.

221 BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar High Yield Bond Fund 8. Distressed Securities Risks Investment in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed. 9. Geographical Concentration Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the US. This may result in greater volatility than more 5broad-based investments. 10.

Payment of Dividends From Implied Interest Rate Differentials For Distributing (R) Shares (Class 8), any dividends payable may include interest rate differentials arising from share class currency hedging gains/losses which may increase/ decrease dividends paid. Shareholders of such Distributing (R) Shares will forego capital gains as any currency hedging gains are distributed rather than added to capital. Conversely, currency hedging losses may decrease the dividends paid, and in extreme cases may deduct from capital. 220

ABS and MBS are often exposed to extension risk (where obligations in the underlying assets are not paid on time) and prepayment risks (where obligations on the underlying assets are paid earlier than expected). These risks may have a substantial impact on the timing and size of the cashflows paid by the securities and may negatively impact the returns of the securities. 3.

The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 4. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 5. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due.

249 BlackRock Global Funds World Agriculture Fund Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in stocks of companies worldwide which are engaged in agriculture. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in certain eligible China A Shares listed in the People s Republic of China via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea). Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as equity securities consistent with the Fund s objective and cash. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Limited Market Sectors Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the agriculture sector, which may include investments in commodities-linked exchange traded funds. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments. 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 5. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 6. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 7. Foreign Investments Restrictions Risks Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund. 8. Small Cap Companies Risks Investment in small cap companies may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks. 248

253 BlackRock Global Funds World Bond Fund Dividend policy: (Class A and C as at the above date) Non-Distributing Shares: No dividends will be declared or paid A2 Distributing Shares: Dividends, if declared will be paid in cash or reinvested Daily: A1, C1 Monthly: A3, A6 Minimum investment: All declared dividends result in an immediate decrease in the Fund s net asset values per share on ex-date, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Certain share classes (Class 6) may pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of its fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital). This will result in an increase in distributable income available for payment as dividends, and therefore, these share classes may effectively pay dividends out of capital. Class 6 may also pay dividends out of capital (including net realised and net unrealised capital gains) of the relevant share class at the Directors discretion. The Directors may amend the above dividend policy subject to the SFC s prior approval and by giving one month s prior notice to investors.

Its home regulator is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Objectives and Investment Strategy To maximise total return by investing at least 70% of the Fund s assets in investment grade* bonds worldwide. The Fund may also invest in emerging markets (such as Brazil, South Africa and South Korea) and To Be Announced securities ( TBAs ). TBAs are mortgage-backed securities bought from a mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date, where the exact security is not known but the main characteristics are specified, and can be either investment grade or non-investment grade. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and internal guidelines, the remaining 30% may be invested in financial instruments of companies or issuers of any size in any sector of the economy globally such as debt and other securities consistent with the Fund s objective, subject to the restriction that no more than 10% of the Fund s assets will be invested in equities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively or primarily used for investment purposes. The Fund may employ currency management and hedging techniques which may include hedging the currency exposure on the Fund s portfolio and/or using more active currency management techniques such as currency overlays. Any active management techniques implemented by the Fund through the currency derivatives such as forward exchange contracts, currency futures and options may not be correlated with the primary underlying securities held by the Fund. * Meaning, at the time of purchase BBB (Standard & Poor s) or equivalent or better by at least one recognised rating agency such as Moody s or Fitch. 252

254 BlackRock Global Funds World Bond Fund What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Credit Risks The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs. The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security could decrease its value and liquidity, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund, however, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale. 3. Interest Rate Risks An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. 4. Sovereign Debt Risks Investment in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities may involve political, economic, default, or other risks, which may in turn have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to these factors, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due. Holders of defaulting sovereign debt may be requested to participate in the restructuring of such debt. In addition, there may be limited legal recourses available against the sovereign issuer in case of failure of or delay in repayment. The Fund may have exposure to Eurozone sovereign debts. In light of the fiscal conditions of certain European countries, the Fund may be subject to a number of increased risks arising from a potential crisis in the Eurozone (such as volatility, liquidity, price and currency risks). The performance of the Fund could deteriorate should there be any adverse events in the Eurozone (e.g. downgrade of sovereign credit ratings, default of one or more European countries, or even break-up of the Eurozone). 5. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. The Investment Adviser may utilise techniques and instruments (e.g. currency overlays) in relation to currencies other than the base currency with the aim of generating positive returns. Any active currency management techniques implemented by the Fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses even if there is no loss to the value of the underlying securities held by the Fund. 6. Delayed Delivery Transactions Risks TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund. 7. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 253

255 BlackRock Global Funds World Bond Fund 8. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 9. Capital Growth Risks Risks Associated with Fees and/or Dividends Paid Out of Capital Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital (Class 6) or payment of dividends out of gross income (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) (Class 6) amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Whilst all dividends paid result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share, these share classes may pay larger dividends (i.e. by paying dividends out of capital or gross income), which may therefore result in a larger reduction in the net asset value per share.

Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment Risks The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Fund may suffer losses. 2. Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Limited Market Sectors Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the energy sector, which may include investments in commodities-linked exchange traded funds. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments. 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 5. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 6. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 257

Equity Risk The values of equities fluctuate daily and a Fund investing in equities could incur significant losses. 3. Limited Market Sectors Risks The Fund s investments are concentrated in the mining sector, which may include investments in commodities-linked exchange traded funds. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments. 4. Currency Risks The Fund may invest in assets denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates between such currency and the base currency may adversely affect the value of the Fund s assets. 5. Derivatives Risks In an adverse situation, if the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management becomes ineffective, the Fund may suffer significant losses. 6. Emerging Market Risks Investment in emerging markets may be subject to a higher than average volatility than more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, and foreign exchange risks. The size and trading volume of securities markets in emerging markets may be substantially smaller than developed markets. This may subject the Fund to higher liquidity and volatility risks. Custody and registration of assets in emerging markets may be less reliable than in developed markets, which may subject the Fund to higher settlement risk. The Fund may be subject to higher regulatory risks due to low level of regulation, enforcement of regulations and monitoring of investors activities in emerging markets. 273
