Dear Shareholder,
Significant economic headwinds emerged during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2022, disrupting the economic recovery and strong financial markets of 2021. The U.S. economy shrank in the first half of 2022 before returning to moderate growth in the third quarter, marking a shift to a more challenging post-reopening economic environment. Changes in consumer spending patterns and a tight labor market led to elevated inflation, which reached a 40-year high. Moreover, while the foremost effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a severe humanitarian crisis, the ongoing war continued to present challenges for both investors and policymakers.
Equity prices fell as interest rates rose, particularly weighing on relatively high-valuation growth stocks as inflation decreased the value of future cash flows and investors shifted focus to balance sheet resilience. Both large- and small-capitalization U.S. stocks fell, although declines for small-capitalization U.S. stocks were slightly steeper. Emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets also declined significantly, pressured by rising interest rates and a strengthening U.S. dollar.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose notably during the reporting period, driving its price down, as investors reacted to higher inflation and attempted to anticipate its impact on future interest rate changes. The corporate bond market also faced inflationary headwinds, and increasing uncertainty led to higher corporate bond spreads (the difference in yield between U.S. Treasuries and similarly-dated corporate bonds).
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), acknowledging that inflation has been more persistent than expected, raised interest rates five times while indicating that additional rate hikes were likely. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and is accelerating the reduction of its balance sheet. As investors attempted to assess the Fed’s future trajectory, the Fed’s statements late in the reporting period led markets to believe that additional tightening is likely in the near term.
The pandemic’s restructuring of the economy brought an ongoing mismatch between supply and demand, contributing to the current inflationary regime. While growth has slowed in 2022, we believe that taming inflation requires a more dramatic economic decline to bring demand back to a lower level that is more in line with the economy’s capacity. The Fed has been raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades, and seems set to overtighten in its effort to get inflation back to target. With this in mind, we believe the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near-term is high, and the outlook for Europe and the U.K. is also troubling. Investors should expect a period of higher volatility as markets adjust to the new economic reality and policymakers attempt to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
In this environment, while we favor an overweight to equities in the long-term, the market’s concerns over excessive rate hikes from central banks moderate our outlook. Rising input costs and a deteriorating economic backdrop in China and Europe are likely to challenge corporate earnings, so we are underweight equities overall in the near term. However, we see better opportunities in credit, where higher spreads provide income opportunities and partially compensate for inflation risk. We believe that investment-grade corporates, local-currency emerging market debt, and inflation-protected bonds (particularly in Europe) offer strong opportunities for a six- to twelve-month horizon.
Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, position themselves to be prepared for a decarbonizing economy, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit iShares.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

U.S. Bond Market Overview
The U.S. bond market experienced a considerable decline for the 12 months ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”). The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. fixed-income performance, returned -15.68%.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) shift toward tighter monetary policy was the primary factor driving the market downturn. Annualized consumer price inflation, which had been under 3.0% for over a decade, began to rise throughout 2021 and ultimately climbed above 6.0% in the year’s fourth calendar quarter. The inflation picture soon grew even more challenging following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, which—together with the resulting sanctions—further snarled global supply chains and contributed to a spike in energy prices. Inflation exceeded 8.0% in March 2022 and remained above that level through the end of the reporting period, with a peak of 9.1% in June.
The Fed moved aggressively in an effort to calm price pressures, ending its stimulative quantitative easing program and boosting interest rates from a range of 0.0%-0.25% to 3.0-3.25% in five separate increases from March to September 2022. This marked the largest move in such a short interval since 1980. In addition, the Fed appeared set to continue raising rates until inflation showed signs of returning closer to its longer-term target of 2%. Some evidence began to emerge later in the period that the Fed’s rate hikes had begun to reduce activity in certain segments of the economy, but there was still no sign that consumer price inflation had started to decline in a meaningful fashion. As a result, market prices at the end of October indicated that the central bank would not stop tightening until rates reached the 4.5-5.0% range.
These circumstances weighed heavily on bond market performance. The yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note rose from 0.50% at the beginning of the period to 4.48% by the end of October 2022, while the 10-year yield climbed from 1.55% to 4.05%. The yield curve inverted significantly as result, meaning that short-term yields were higher those on longer-term debt. In late September, the yield curve moved to its largest inversion since 1982.
The surge in U.S. Treasury yields, together with investors’ increased aversion to risk, fueled weakness across all sectors of the bond market. Mortgage-backed securities, which were hurt by concerns about the housing market and the loss of demand stemming from Fed’s decision to end its quantitative easing policy, posted negative returns. Still, the category held up better than the broader index.
Investment-grade corporate bonds were among the worst-performing segments of the market. In addition to being adversely affected by rising Treasury yields, the asset class was pressured by a pronounced increase in yield spreads. The latter trend reflected concerns that weaker economic growth could lead to a slowdown in corporate earnings. Notably, the yield on corporate bonds—as gauged by the ICE BofA US Corporate Index—closed the period at the highest level since 2009.
High yield bonds also experienced sizable losses. As was the case with investment-grade corporates, a rise in both prevailing yields and yield spreads weighed heavily on performance. However, the category outperformed the investment-grade market due to its lower interest-rate sensitivity and higher weighting in the energy sector. Higher-rated issuers in the category—which are seen as having the least vulnerability to slowing growth—generally outperformed their lower-quality counterparts.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2022 (continued) | BlackRock Short Maturity Bond ETF |
Portfolio Management Commentary
The annual period was characterized by high volatility and poor performance for risk assets. In the United States, inflation reached 40-year highs following the lifting of COVID-related restrictions. This prompted a dramatic response from the U.S. Federal Reserve, including 300 basis points (three percentage points) of interest-rate hikes. Short-term bonds, while having less sensitivity than the overall market, were nonetheless adversely affected by these events. However, the -0.11% return for the Bloomberg Short-Term Government/Corporate Index (the Fund’s benchmark) was well ahead of the -15.68% return versus the broader fixed-income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund underperformed its benchmark. In absolute terms, the bulk of the Fund’s negative absolute return occurred in the first half of the period. In the latter half, income helped offset the effect of declining prices.
The Fund’s largest allocations were to U.S. investment-grade corporate issues and non-U.S. investment-grade corporates, respectively. Both categories experienced negative total returns as yield spreads widened to reflect mounting recession concerns, detracting from Fund performance. Toward the end of the period, the Fund increased its allocations to U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds and asset-backed securities to capitalize on higher yields.
On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its defensive positioning. About 11% of the portfolio was held in cash-like securities during the period, helping relative performance. Holdings in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are better insulated against rising interest rates due to their floating-rate feature, were also beneficial.

Portfolio Management Commentary
The annual period was characterized by high volatility and poor performance for risk assets. In the United States, inflation reached 40-year highs following the lifting of COVID-related restrictions. This prompted a dramatic response from the U.S. Federal Reserve, including 300 basis points (three percentage points) of interest-rate hikes. Short-term bonds, while having less rate sensitivity than the overall fixed-income market, were nonetheless adversely affected by these events. Bonds with lower credit quality lagged, as yield spreads widened to reflect mounting concerns that the economy would fall into a recession.
The -2.17% return for the Bloomberg the Bloomberg Municipal Bond: 1 Year (1-2) Index (the Fund’s benchmark) was well ahead of the -15.68% return versus the broader fixed-income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark. The Fund invests predominately in short-term, fixed-rate, investment-grade municipal bonds and variable-rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), which are longer-maturity securities with floating-rate coupons. VRDNs produced positive total returns in the 12-month period, so the Fund’s holdings in this area contributed to relative performance. The Fund increased its allocation to VRDNs from about 43% to 60% over the reporting period to better position the portfolio for rising rates.
From a sector perspective, tobacco, utility and education bonds delivered positive returns, while transportation issues lagged. Positions in higher-quality securities generally outperformed, with AA rated issues contributing positively. On the other hand, BBB rated bonds detracted due to widening yield spreads.

The Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofA US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, returned 0.53% and strongly outperformed the -15.68% return of the overall fixed-income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund posted a narrow gain, with income slightly outweighing the impact of falling prices. Relative to the broader market, the Fund benefitted from its defensive positioning. It had a shorter average duration (interest-rate sensitivity) and held a large position in cash and cash equivalents. Commercial paper, which represented about 39% of the Fund’s market value on average, was the primary source of positive total returns. Certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, and a small allocation to municipal securities were also additive to Fund performance. Positions in these areas helped offset losses from holdings in investment-grade corporate bonds.
Over the course of the year, the Fund reduced its allocations to investment-grade corporate bonds and increased its weighting in commercial paper. Within corporates, the Fund added to floating-rate notes since they are better insulated against interest-rate increases than fixed-rate securities.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments. As a result, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at iShares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.
Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. Beginning August 10, 2020, the price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is the closing price. Prior to August 10, 2020, Market Price was determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not trade in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the fund, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (1) transactional expenses, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing expenses, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense examples shown (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as brokerage commissions and other fees paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
