to view or download a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
* "Management Fees" are fees paid to Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA), the Fund's investment advisor. A Fund may also incur indirect expenses on its investments, if any, in other investment companies. Please see the Fund's prospectus for more information on such expenses.
In addition to the management fees shown, the total expenses for the iShares Barclays Aggregate Bond Fund (AGG) and iShares Barclays MBS Bond Fund (MBB) include “acquired fund fees and expenses” of 0.04% and 0.11%, respectively, which are related to the funds' investments in the BGI Prime Money Market Fund (the “money market fund”). The total annual fund operating expenses for AGG and MBB are 0.24% and 0.36%, respectively. “Acquired fund fees and expenses” represent the funds' pro rata share of the fees and expenses charged by the money market fund and may vary based on the funds' allocation of assets to the annualized net expenses of the money market fund. Annual operating expenses do not include the effect of interest earned by investments in the money market fund, which is expected to offset the money market fund's fees and expenses.
An investment in the fund(s) is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
