Factors are the persistent and well-documented asset characteristics that have historically driven investment risk and return. Factors are not new — they have been present in portfolios for decades. But exchange traded funds (ETFs) helped to revolutionize how investors access these historically rewarded strategies by capturing the power of factors (sometimes called “smart beta”) in a transparent and cost-effective way.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses, which may be obtained by visiting the iShares Fund and BlackRock Fund prospectus pages. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics ("factors"). Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses. There is no guarantee that the classification system used to determine the Factor Rotation model for the U.S. Equity Factor Rotation ETF will achieve its intended results. The fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities which may result in higher transaction costs to the fund. The fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or loss of principal. Transactions in shares of ETFs may result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences.
