Dear Shareholder,
The 12-month reporting period as of April 30, 2022 saw the emergence of significant challenges that disrupted the economic recovery and strong financial markets which characterized 2021. The U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter of 2022, ending the run of robust growth which followed reopening and the development of the COVID-19 vaccines. Rapid changes in consumer spending led to supply constraints and 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 invasion has presented challenges for both investors and policymakers.
Equity prices were mixed but mostly down, as persistently high inflation drove investors’ expectations for higher interest rates, particularly weighing on relatively high valuation growth stocks and economically sensitive small-capitalization stocks. Overall, small-capitalization U.S. stocks declined, while large-capitalization U.S. stocks were nearly flat. Both emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets fell significantly, pressured by rising interest rates and a strengthening U.S. dollar.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield (which is inversely related to bond prices) rose during the reporting period as increasing inflation drove investors’ expectations for higher interest rates. 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 is growing faster than expected, raised interest rates in March 2022, the first increase of this business cycle. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and raised the prospect of reversing the flow and reducing its balance sheet. Continued high inflation and the Fed’s new tone led many analysts to anticipate that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates multiple times throughout the year.
Looking ahead, however, the horrific war in Ukraine has significantly clouded the outlook for the global economy, leading to major volatility in energy and metal markets. Sanctions on Russia, Europe’s top energy supplier, and general wartime disruption are likely to drive already-high commodity prices even higher. We believe sharp increases in energy prices will exacerbate inflationary pressure while also constraining economic growth. Combating inflation without stifling a recovery, while buffering against ongoing supply and price shocks amid the ebb and flow of the pandemic, will be an especially challenging environment for setting effective monetary policy. Despite the likelihood of more rate increases on the horizon, we believe the Fed will err on the side of protecting employment, even at the expense of higher inflation.
In this environment, we favor an overweight to equities, as valuations have become more attractive and inflation-adjusted interest rates remain low. Sectors that are better poised to manage the transition to a lower-carbon world, such as technology and healthcare, are particularly attractive in the long term. We favor U.S. equities due to strong earnings momentum, while Japanese equities should benefit from supportive monetary and fiscal policy. We are underweight credit overall, but inflation-protected U.S. Treasuries, Asian fixed income, and emerging market local-currency bonds offer potential opportunities for additional yield. We believe that international diversification and a focus on sustainability and quality can help provide portfolio resilience.
Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes, 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.
Sincerely,

Global Market Overview
Global equity markets declined during the 12 months ended April 30, 2022 (“reporting period”). The MSCI ACWI, a broad global equity index that includes both developed and emerging markets, returned -5.44% in U.S. dollar terms for the reporting period.
In the first half of the reporting period, stocks were supported by economic recovery in most regions of the world. The global economy continued to rebound from the impact of restrictions imposed at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, as mitigation and adaptation allowed most economic activity to continue. However, significant challenges emerged in the second half of the reporting period, erasing earlier gains. Inflation rose significantly in many countries, reducing consumers’ purchasing power and leading many central banks to tighten monetary policy. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine presented a further challenge to the global economy, disrupting markets in important commodities such as oil, natural gas, and wheat.
The U.S. economy grew briskly over the final three quarters of 2021, powered primarily by consumers with strong household balance sheets. Record-high personal savings rates allowed consumers to spend at an elevated level throughout much of the reporting period, releasing pent-up demand for goods and services. Hiring increased as businesses restored capacity, and unemployment decreased substantially, falling to 3.6% in April 2022 — only marginally higher than the pre-pandemic rate of 3.5% in February 2020. However, the economy contracted in the first quarter of 2022 amid lower inventory investment and an inflation-driven decline in consumer sentiment.
Rising inflation led to a shift in policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). As the reporting period began, the Fed was using accommodative monetary policy to stimulate the economy. Short-term interest rates were kept at near zero levels, and the Fed used bond-buying programs to stabilize debt markets. However, rising prices led the Fed to tighten monetary policy in the second half of the reporting period in an attempt to prevent runaway inflation. The Fed slowed and then ended its bond-buying activities and discussed plans to begin reducing its balance sheet by selling bonds later in 2022. In March 2022, it raised short-term interest rates and indicated that further increases could be necessary. Interest rates rose significantly in anticipation of further tightening, leading to higher borrowing costs for businesses.
Stocks declined in Europe and economic growth stalled, with the Eurozone economy slowing substantially in the second half of the reporting period. Significantly higher inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine negatively impacted equities. Russia is an important trading partner with many European countries, and new sanctions against Russia imposed limits on certain types of trade with Russia. Investors became concerned that the sharp rise in energy prices during the reporting period would constrain economic growth, as Europe relies on imported energy for much of its industrial and heating needs. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) maintained ultra-low interest rates but started to wind down its bond buying program.
Despite relatively low inflation by global standards, Asia-Pacific stocks declined significantly. Chinese stocks endured substantial declines, driving much of the negative performance in the region. Regulatory interventions by the Chinese government weighed on equity markets, particularly in the information technology sector. While China’s economy continued to expand at a solid pace, COVID-19 cases rose sharply late in the reporting period, and analysts became concerned that the subsequent lockdowns would constrain growth.

Portfolio Management Commentary
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) advanced during the reporting period, benefiting from increased need for warehouses and storage space resulting from supply chain disruptions and the coronavirus pandemic. Industrial REITs that own and operate warehouses contributed the most to the Index’s return. Demand for warehouse space grew throughout 2021 as supply chain disruptions arising from the pandemic created a need for additional space to store a backlog of goods, supporting sharp rental price increases. Shifting consumer buying trends toward e-commerce and away from brick-and-mortar stores also added to growing demand for warehouse space, and occupancy rates at warehouses soared to record highs. Regulatory hurdles preventing the building of new warehouses in urban or suburban areas close to consumers limited the supply of new units.
Specialized REITs, particularly those involved in self-storage, also contributed to the Index. The COVID-19 pandemic encouraged Americans to declutter as they increasingly worked, studied, and exercised at home. To make room for home offices and gyms, people turned to self-storage rental units to store excess items. Growing demand for storage space helped reduce the excess supply of rental units that existed prior to the pandemic, which led to significant price increases and record occupancy rates. The positive environment meant that profits and revenues from self-storage companies exceeded analysts’ expectations.
Residential REITs, most notably those invested in apartment buildings, also contributed to the Index’s performance. Revenues and lease rates grew sharply in 2021 as renters returned to urban areas and the impact from the pandemic eased. In addition, as housing prices climbed higher, many potential homebuyers continued to rent rather than buy. Limited growth in new apartment buildings kept supply tight, which supported rental price increases.

Portfolio Management Commentary
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) advanced during the reporting period, benefiting from increased need for warehouses and storage space amid supply chain disruptions and the coronavirus pandemic. REITs’ dividend payouts and growth potential attracted investors concerned about inflation and in search of an alternative to the low yields offered by bonds.
Industrial REITs that own and operate warehouses contributed the most to the Index’s return. Demand for warehouse space grew throughout 2021 as supply chain disruptions arising from the pandemic created a need for additional space to store a backlog of goods, supporting sharp rental price increases.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2022 (continued) | iShares® Global REIT ETF |
Portfolio Management Commentary
Global real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) advanced modestly during the reporting period, benefiting from surging property values as global economies rebounded from the coronavirus pandemic. Industrial REITs contributed the most to the Index’s return, driven primarily by U.S. REITs that own and operate warehouses. Demand for warehouse space grew throughout 2021 as supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic created a need for space to store a backlog of goods, supporting sharp rental price increases. Shifting consumer buying trends toward e-commerce and away from brick-and-mortar stores also added to growing demand for warehouses. Occupancy rates at warehouses soared to record highs, while rents continued to grow. Regulatory hurdles preventing the building of new warehouses in urban or suburban areas close to consumers constrained the supply of new units and limited competition. Industrial REITs in Canada and the U.K. added marginally to the Index’s performance.
U.S. residential REITs, most notably those invested in apartment buildings, contributed substantially to the Index’s performance. Revenues and lease rates grew sharply in 2021 as renters returned to urban areas as the impact from the pandemic subsided. In addition, as housing prices climbed higher, many potential homebuyers continued to rent rather than buy. Rising interest rates sent mortgage rates climbing to their highest level since 2009, leading home mortgage applications to drop sharply near the end of the reporting period. Limited growth in new apartment buildings kept supply tight, which supported rental price increases. In addition, high occupancy rates in apartment complexes also allowed landlords to raise rents.
On the downside, Japanese REITs that invest in office buildings detracted from the Index’s return. The pandemic resulted in many workers choosing to work from home, lessening the demand for office space in central Tokyo and other urban areas. Many Japanese companies moved their offices out of urban areas to more suburban areas to be closer to their employees’ homes and offer a more appealing alternative to working from home.

Fund Summary as of April 30, 2022 (continued) | iShares® International Developed Real Estate ETF |
Portfolio Management Commentary
International developed real estate stocks declined during the reporting period, as the strengthening U.S. dollar and rising interest rates weakened investment returns in foreign markets. The Japanese yen hit a 20-year low against the U.S. dollar late in the reporting period and the euro dropped to a five-year low as the Fed signaled a more aggressive approach to fight soaring inflation by raising interest rates. Higher interest rates tend to weaken the performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). As interest rates rise, the costs of borrowing money and refinancing debt also escalates. In addition, higher interest rates increase the attractiveness of investments such as government and corporate bonds relative to REITs.
Japanese equity REITs detracted the most from the Index’s return, led by office REITs. Vacancies in Tokyo office towers rose through most of 2021. The coronavirus pandemic led many workers to choose to work from home, lessening the demand for office space in core urban areas such as central Tokyo. Many Japanese companies moved their offices out of urban areas to nearby suburbs to be closer to their employees’ homes and offer a more appealing alternative to working from home. Japanese diversified REITs also declined. Although demand increased for logistics and data centers, driven by growth in online shopping and remote work, land costs also rose. The Japanese yen’s significant depreciation relative to the U.S. dollar further weighed on performance for U.S. investors.
German real estate management and development companies detracted from the Index’s performance, as these companies posted weaker profits and decreased dividends payable to shareholders. Inflationary pressures and the risk of rising interest rates in Germany also weakened the outlook for the real estate sector. The ECB announced late in the reporting period that it will wait until late 2022 to raise interest rates despite soaring inflation.
On the upside, Canadian equity REITs contributed slightly to the Index’s return. The trend toward e-commerce increased demand for warehouses and logistics centers to store goods close to consumers.

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 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 a 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.
