Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018

Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Global Index Funds (the “Company” or “BGIF”) over the twelve months to 31 March 2018. The BGIF range comprised 10 funds (each a “Fund”, together the “Funds”) as at 31 March 2018.

The Funds’ performance is covered in more detail in the separate Investment Adviser’s Report. The period under review saw volatility return as geopolitical tensions started to weigh on investors.

In particular, the US administration’s position on trade tariffs has left investors fearful of a full-scale trade war between the US and China. China’s response to tariffs on steel and aluminum was initially relatively measured, imposing tariffs worth just £3 billion on 128 US imports. However, this was followed with more robust moves later on.

At the same time, while the North Korean situation decreased in intensity, Russia/US tensions accelerated over Syria. The move prompted United Nation’s General Secretary Antonio Guterres to say the Cold War was ‘back with a vengeance’. US President Donald Trump admitted that the US/Russian relations are as bad as they have ever been. However, the forthcoming meeting in Helsinki is an attempt to improve relations.

On the opposing side, markets were buoyed by significant tax cuts in the US, as President Donald Trump finally got his tax reform legislation through Congress. Corporations were a notable beneficiary, with their rate of tax reduced significantly.

This activity was reflected in growing volatility in markets. The S&P ended the period under review higher than where it had started, but after a strong bounce in December 2017, there was a significant sell-off towards the end of January 2018. The sell-off was prompted by the US wage data, which seemed to suggest a resurgence in inflation, and therefore that higher interest rates were imminent. Global stock markets followed the US lead.

The global economy, in contrast, continued to drift higher. While there remain fears that fiscal stimulus and a trade war will trigger inflation in the US, force rate rises and therefore hasten a recession, there was only isolated evidence for this scenario over the period. Emerging markets, notably in Asia, continued to show strength.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to improving growth and employment figures, with a further quarter point rise in March 2018, bringing the Fed funds rate to 1.5-1.75 %. Debate continues over whether there will be three or four rate rises in 2018. Recent comments from new Fed Chair Jay Powell suggest a more hawkish stance.

Stock markets continued their rotation away from more defensive companies, with stable, predictable earnings, cashflow and dividends, and towards more economically-sensitive areas, such as financials or resources, which looked likely to benefit from an inflationary environment. In particular, equity income areas performed poorly, as investors anticipated higher bond yields.

For the most part, the US markets continued their leadership, in spite of higher valuations. Performance broadened out from the large technology companies that had led markets higher for much of 2017, particularly when they became embroiled in a difficult row about how they use, store and distribute user data.

Elsewhere, Japanese markets also showed strength, buoyed by the supportive policies of the Japanese central bank and an improving economy. Performance continued to be good among domestically-focused small and mid-cap stocks.

Although Europe had put many of its political problems behind it with the election of centrist, pro-European Emmanuel Macron as President in 2017, its stock markets were lackluster. The Eurozone economy continued to show strength, although it lost a little momentum in the early months of 2018. The weak coalition pulled together by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and messy elections in Italy continued to weigh on the region.

The UK started to see some light at the end of the Brexit tunnel and marginally more political stability than seen for much of 2017. Nevertheless, global investors continued to shun UK assets and its stock market performed poorly relative to its peer group.

Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 continued

Emerging markets were a key area of strength, although Asia saw some turbulence in the wake of the wrangling over trade tariffs. Investors were encouraged by continued strong economic performance and growing corporate earnings.

Bond yields continue to move higher, particularly shorter-dated bonds. A notable phenomenon has been the flattening of the US yield curve – traditionally a precursor to recession. However, while inflation has remained relatively benign, it has kept a lid on yields. There are still significant deflationary forces at work – high debt, an ageing population and low business investment. Corporate bonds remain at historically tight spreads over government bonds, but with the global economy still strong, there is no immediate catalyst for a shift in direction.

Regulatory change continued throughout Europe and a number of these future changes could have implications for investors. Key changes included:

� Revisions to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID II”) and the new Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (“MiFIR”) came into effect at the beginning of 2018. New requirements include restrictions on how financial advisers may be remunerated, plus disclosure on fees.

� European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”): the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities published the final draft of the Regulatory Technical Standards in March 2016, which provide the framework for EMIR. This aims to increase the transparency and reduce the risk relating to over-the-counter derivatives. In May 2017, the European Commission published a legislative proposal to amend EMIR, reflecting the outcome of its review into how the regulation has worked since its adoption in 2012.

� Packaged Retail Investment and Insurance-based Investment Products (“PRIIPs”): The new legislation – which governs the marketing and distribution of financial products – came into effect at the start of 2018. Although the Funds are not directly impacted by PRIIPs, investment in underlying securities and investors to Fund may be affected.

� The Benchmarks Regulation also applies from 1 January 2018, subject to certain transitional provisions. This brings in guidance on the structure and use of benchmarks in measuring the performance of investment funds.

There were no new fund launches or closures during the twelve month period. Assets Under Management (“AUM”) in the BGIF range increased by 15.3 %. They now stand at USD 7.17 billion, up from USD 6.22 billion at the start of the period. The strongest inflows were seen into the iShares Global Government Bond Index Fund, which rose 282 % to USD 363.16 million. The iShares Euro Aggregate Bond Index Fund also saw strong growth, with AUM rising by 35.0 % to EUR 623.97 million. The iShares Emerging Markets Government Bond Index Fund saw assets rise 30.2 % to USD 2,441 million.

Within equity funds, the iShares Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund saw the strongest flows, with AUM rising 19.7 % to USD 522.96 million. The iShares Japan Index Fund was also strong, with assets up 22.7 % to USD 185.08 million. The iShares Pacific ex Japan Equity Index Fund rose 14.4 % to USD 353.80 million.

Flows into the iShares North America Equity Index Fund were weak in spite of the strength of the US markets, falling 23.8 % to USD 597.07 million. The iShares Europe Equity Index Fund saw net assets falling 11.0 % to EUR 381.37 million. The iShares Euro Government Bond Index Fund saw assets fall, dropping 2.6 % to EUR 425.04 million. The iShares World Equity Index Fund was also weak, with assets falling 18.1 % to USD 939.92 million.

As notified to shareholders on 26 July 2017, with effect from 29 August 2017, the use of the iShares brand was extended to cover BlackRock’s index mutual funds range. As a result, the names of the following Funds have been rebranded as set out in the table overleaf.

Investment Advisersʼ Report Performance Overview1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018

Investment Advisers’ Report

Disclosed in the table below are the performance returns for the primary share class for each Fund, which has been selected as a representative share class. The primary share class for each Fund is the A class non-distributing share. Performance figures for any other share class can be made available upon request.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The Funds invest a large portion of assets which are denominated in other currencies; hence changes in the relevant exchange rates will affect the value of the investment. The performance figures do not consider charges and fees that may be levied at the time of subscription or redemption of shares. Levels and bases of taxation may change from time to time. Subscriptions can only be made on the basis of the current Prospectus, the KIID, supplemented by the most recent annual report and audited accounts and unaudited interim report and accounts, if published after such annual report and audited accounts. Copies are available at the registered office of the company from the Local Investor Servicing team(1), the Transfer Agent, the Management Company or any of the Distributors. BGIF is only available for investment by non-US citizens who are not residents of the US. The Funds are not offered for sale or sold in the US, its territories or possessions.

Market ReviewThere were two clear periods in the period under review. Stock markets rallied for much of 2017 as the US tax reform buoyed expectations of global growth and benign economic conditions supported corporate earnings. There were then sharp sell-offs in 2018, as investors started to fear inflation and higher interest rates.

Within this, there was plenty of disparity between the performance of individual countries, sectors and companies. In general, investors favoured areas delivering clear growth – technology, smaller companies, Asia, the US – and shunned

more solid, old-fashioned areas – equity income was weak in relative terms, for example. The ‘bond proxies’ that had found favour in a weaker growth environment began to lose favour as the prospect of interest rates rose.

Bond markets were volatile for much of the period, with yields moving higher as inflationary pressures mounted. The US Fed raised rates three times in 2017 and once to date in 2018. The market currently expects two or even three more in 2018. Elsewhere, the Bank of England raised rates in November 2017, moving it off the emergency low rate introduced in the wake of the vote to leave the European Union. The European Central Bank also started to discuss paring back quantitative easing, though the Bank of Japan remained resolute in its support of loose monetary policy.

Equity Fund PerformanceThe iShares Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund (LU) was the strongest over the period, rising 24.1 %. Japanese equities were also strong, with the iShares Japan Equity Index Fund (LU) rising 18.9 %. The iShares World Equity Index Fund (LU) also performed well over the period, rising 13.1 %. The iShares North America Equity Index Fund (LU) rose 10.9 % over the period, while the iShares Europe Equity Index Fund (LU) rose 0.1 % over the period and the iShares Pacific ex Japan Equity Index Fund (LU) rose 7.9 %.

Fixed Income Fund PerformanceGovernment bond yields rose as interest rate rises became a reality. Within BGIF Funds, the weakest performance came from the iShares Euro Aggregate Bond Index Fund (LU), which rose just 1.7 %, while the iShares Euro Government Bond Index Fund (LU) rose 2.5 %. The iShares Emerging Markets Government Bond Index Fund (LU) rose 3.8 %. The iShares Global Government Bond Index Fund (LU) was the strongest performer, rising 7.9 %.

Tracking DifferenceTracking difference is defined as the difference in returns between a Fund and its Benchmark Index. For physically replicating funds, the investment management approach is to buy a portfolio of securities that as far as practicable consist of the securities that make up the Benchmark Index, in similar proportion to the weights represented in the Benchmark Index.

For optimising funds, the investment management approach aims to match the performance of a Benchmark Index by investing in a portfolio that is primarily made up of securities that represent the Benchmark Index. The objective is to generate a return which is as close as practicable to the total return of the index net of transaction costs and gross of fees and other costs.

Explanation of the tracking difference

iShares Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund (LU)

24.09% 25.03% (0.94)% Before costs and after adjusting for the difference in the valuation point of the Fund and the pricing point of the Benchmark Index, the performance of the Fund relative to the Benchmark Index is in line with the expectation.

iShares Emerging Markets Government Bond Index Fund (LU)

3.80% 4.30% (0.50)% Before costs, the Fund performed in line with the Benchmark Index.

iShares Europe Equity Index Fund (LU)

0.06% (0.24)% 0.30% Before costs and after adjusting for the difference in the valuation point of the Fund and the pricing point of the Benchmark Index, the Fund outperformed the Benchmark Index primarily due to the receipt of the historical tax reclaims and due to differences in tax rates applied to the dividends received in the Fund versus the tax rates assumed in the total return calculation of the Benchmark Index.

iShares Euro Aggregate Bond Index Fund (LU)

1.69% 2.37% (0.68)% Before costs and after adjusting for the difference in the valuation point of the Fund and the pricing point of the Benchmark Index, the Fund underperformed the Benchmark Index due to the sampling technique applied.

iShares Euro Government Bond Index Fund (LU)

2.52% 3.13% (0.61)% Before costs and after adjusting for the difference in the valuation point of the Fund and the pricing point of the Benchmark Index, the Fund underperformed the Benchmark Index due to the sampling technique applied.

iShares Global Government Bond Index Fund (LU)

7.91% 8.49% (0.58)% Before costs, the Fund performed in line with the Benchmark Index.

* Performance is reported for each Fund’s A class shares.

Cash management, efficient portfolio management techniques including securities lending, transaction costs from rebalancing and currency hedging can have an impact on tracking difference. Importantly, these impacts can be either positive or negative depending on the underlying circumstances.

In addition to the above, the Funds may also have a tracking difference due to withholding tax suffered by the Funds on any income received from its investments. The level and quantum of tracking difference arising due to withholding taxes depends on various factors such as any reclaims filed on behalf of the Funds with various tax authorities, any benefits obtained by the Funds under a tax treaty or any securities lending activities carried out by the Funds.

The table below compares the realised Fund performance against the performance of the relevant Benchmark Index during the twelve months ended 31 March 2018. An explanation for the difference is provided.

Tracking ErrorRealised tracking error is the annualised standard deviation of the difference in monthly returns between a Fund and its Benchmark Index. Tracking error shows the consistency of the returns relative to the Benchmark Index over a defined period of time. Tracking error is based on the Net Assets Value (“NAV”) calculated in accordance with the prospectus.

Anticipated tracking error is based on the expected volatility of differences between the returns of a Fund and the returns of its Benchmark Index. For physically replicating funds, the investment management approach is to buy a portfolio of securities that, as far as practicable, consist of the securities that make up the Benchmark Index, in similar proportion to the weights represented in the Benchmark Index.

For optimising Funds, the investment management approach aims to match the main risk characteristics of the Benchmark Index by investing in a portfolio that is primarily made up of securities that represent the Benchmark Index. The objective is to generate a total return as close as reasonably possible to that of the index, net of transaction costs and gross of fees.

Cash management, efficient portfolio management techniques (including securities lending), transaction costs from rebalancing and currency hedging collectively can have an impact on tracking error, as well as the return differential between a Fund and its Benchmark Index. Importantly, these impacts can be either positive or negative, depending on the underlying circumstances.

Explanation of Divergence Between Anticipated and Realised Tracking Error

The Funds may have a tracking error due to a number of sources.

Funds may have a tracking error due to withholding tax suffered by the Funds on any income received from its investments. The level and quantum of tracking error arising due to withholding taxes depends on various factors, such as any reclaims filed by the Funds with various tax authorities, any benefits obtained by the Funds under a tax treaty or any securities lending activities carried out by the Funds.

A Fund’s tracking error may be affected if the times at which a Fund and its Benchmark Index are priced are different. Where the Benchmark Index is valued at the time the relevant markets close for business and a Fund is valued at an earlier time, the tracking error of that Fund may appear to be higher than if the Fund and the Benchmark Index were priced at the same time. This is particularly relevant for the fixed income Funds, although, less so for the equity Funds for which the relevant index provider issues a price of the relevant Benchmark Index at the same time as the equity Fund’s valuation point.

In addition, as the NAV of a Fund taken at its valuation point includes the effect of any swing pricing, the tracking error figures set out below may be impacted depending on the significance of any adjustment in the NAV in order to reduce the effect of “dilution” on that Fund resulting from the sale or purchase of shares in the Fund.

A Fund’s tracking error figures set out below may also be affected by non-dealing days, which occur at times when the local stock exchanges or regulated markets in respect of a particular Fund are closed for trading and settlement due to public holidays. During such times, the relevant Funds will not be able to obtain access to such market(s) directly and will, for example, either hold the cash received from any subscriptions until the relevant market(s) are open or will obtain exposure to the relevant market(s) indirectly using proxy instruments. Both approaches may increase a Fund’s tracking error. Alternatively, the tracking error of a Fund may be affected if there is a public holiday in Luxembourg, as the NAV of the Funds will remain the same, despite movements in the underlying markets.

The table overleaf compares the anticipated tracking error of the Funds (disclosed in the prospectus on an ex ante basis) against the actual realised tracking error of the Funds as at 31 March 2018. The realised tracking error is annualised and calculated using data from the preceding 36 month observation period.

Directors’ Report

Corporate Governance Statement

IntroductionBlackRock Global Index Funds (the “Company”) is a public limited company (société anonyme) established under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as an open ended variable capital investment company (société d’investissement à capital variable). The Company has been authorised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”) as UCITS pursuant to the provisions of Part I of the law of 17 December 2010, as amended and is regulated pursuant to such law. The Company complies with the principles set out in the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (“ALFI”) Code of Conduct Revision 2013 (the “Code”) issued by ALFI in June 2013.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and is accountable to shareholders for the governance of the Company’s affairs. The Board has considered the principles and recommendations of the Code and has put in place a framework for corporate governance which it believes is appropriate for adherence to the principles of the Code given the nature of its structure as an Investment Company. This statement summarises the corporate governance structure and processes in place for the Company for the period under review from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.

Board CompositionThe Board currently consists of six non-executive Directors, (including one independent Director). The Board is committed to maintaining an appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge amongst its members.

The Directors’ biographies, on pages 14 and 15, collectively demonstrate a breadth of investment knowledge and experience, business and financial skills and legal and regulatory familiarity which enables them to provide effective strategic leadership, oversight and proper governance of the Company. The Board of Directors will propose at the 2018 Annual General Meeting of shareholders that the number of directors be increased to seven and will propose the election of Dr Martha Boeckenfeld as an Independent Director. BlackRock considers this compositions to be a suitable and appropriate balance for the Board.

Article 13 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in accordance with Luxembourg law, provides that Directors shall be elected by the shareholders at their annual general meeting for a period ending at the next annual general meeting and until their successors are elected. Any Director who resigns his/her position is obliged to confirm to the Board and the CSSF that the resignation is not connected with any issues with or claims against the Company.

The Board supports a planned and progressive renewal of the Board. BlackRock is committed to ensuring that Directors put forward for election by the shareholders possess the skills needed to maintain this balance. The Board is committed to carrying out an annual review of its performance and activities.

The Directors have a continuing obligation to ensure they have sufficient time to discharge their duties. The details of each Director’s (including the Chairman), other appointments and commitments are made available to the Board and BlackRock Investment Management (U.K.) Limited (“BIM UK”) for inspection. All new appointments or significant commitments require the prior approval of BIM UK.

Before a new Director is proposed to the shareholders for appointment he or she will receive a full induction incorporating relevant information regarding the Company and his or her duties and responsibilities as a Director. In addition, a new Director is required to spend some time with representatives of BIM UK so that the new Director will become familiar with the various processes which are considered necessary for the proper performance of his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company.

The Company’s policy is to encourage Directors to keep up to date with developments relevant to the Company. The Directors have attended and will continue to attend updates and briefings run by BIM UK and affiliated entities in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Directors also receive regular briefings from, amongst others, the auditors, investment strategists, risk specialists, depositary and legal advisers regarding any proposed product developments or changes in laws or regulations that could affect the Company.

Board’s ResponsibilitiesThe Board meets at least quarterly and also on an ad hoc basis as required. The Board is supplied with information in a timely manner and in a form and of a quality appropriate to enable it to discharge its duties. The Board is responsible for the long-term success of the Company and recognises its responsibility to provide leadership, direction and control to the Company within a framework of prudent and effective controls which enables risk to be assessed and managed. The Board reserves to itself decisions relating to the determination of investment policy and objectives, any change in investment strategy and entering into any material contracts. The Board also approves the prospectus and any addenda to it, circulars to shareholders, financial statements and other relevant legal documentation.

The Chairmanʼs main responsibility is to lead and manage the Board, encourage critical discussions and promote effective communication within the Board. In addition, he is responsible for promoting best practice corporate governance and effective communication with shareholders.

Directors’ Report continued

The Directors have access to the advice and services of external counsel and the resources of BIM UK and BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. (the “Management Company”) should they be needed. Where necessary, in the furtherance of their duties, the Board and individual Directors may seek independent professional advice. The Board has responsibility for ensuring that the Company keeps proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and which enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant accounting standards. It is the Board’s responsibility to present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s financial position, which extends to interim financial statements and other reports made available to shareholders and the public. The Board is responsible for taking reasonable steps for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for taking reasonable steps in the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

InsuranceThe Company maintains appropriate Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance cover.

Delegation of ResponsibilitiesAs an open ended variable capital investment company most of the Company’s day-to-day management and administration is delegated to BlackRock Group companies such as the Management Company which employs dedicated compliance and risk professionals, the Investment Advisers and other third party service providers. The Board has delegated the following areas of responsibility :

Management and Administration

The Board has delegated the investment management, distribution and administration of the Company and its Funds to the Management Company. The Management Company has delegated the management of the investment portfolio to the Investment Advisers. The Investment Advisers operate under guidelines determined by the Board and as detailed in the Company’s prospectus relating to the Company’s Funds. The relevant Investment Advisers have direct responsibility for the decisions relating to the day-to-day running of the Company’s Funds and are accountable to both the Management Company and the Company for the investment performance of the Funds. The Board has also delegated the exercise of voting rights attaching to the securities held in the portfolio to the respective Investment Advisers who may in turn delegate to BIM UK. Voting on behalf of shareholders is done in a manner which is believed to be in the best economic interest of shareholders as long-term investors.

The Management Company has delegated its responsibilities for administrative services of the Company and its Funds to State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A (“the Administrator”). The Administrator has responsibility for the administration of the Company’s affairs including the calculation of the net

asset value and preparation of the financial statements of the Company, subject to the overall supervision of the Directors and the Management Company. The Administrator is a subsidiary of State Street Bank & Trust Co. The Company has appointed State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as Depositary of its assets, which has responsibility for safe-keeping of such assets, pursuant to the regulations. The Depositary is a subsidiary of State Street Bank & Trust Co. The Management Company has delegated transfer agent and share registration services to J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A.

The Management Company reports to the Board on a quarterly basis and by exception where necessary. Reporting is in place to ensure that the Board can effectively oversee the actions of its delegates.

The Management Company is responsible for the risk management and internal controls of the Company and for reviewing their effectiveness, for ensuring that financial information published or used within the business is reliable, and for regularly monitoring compliance with regulations governing the operation of the Company. The Management Company reviews the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems on an ongoing basis to identify, evaluate and manage the Company’s significant risks. As part of that process, there are procedures designed to capture and evaluate any failings or weaknesses. Should a case be categorised by the Board as significant, procedures exist to ensure that necessary action is taken to remedy the failings.

The Board is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control and risk management systems of the Company in relation to the financial reporting process. Such systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Company’s financial reporting objectives. The Company has procedures in place to ensure all relevant accounting records are properly maintained and are readily available, including production of annual and interim financial statements. These procedures include appointing the Administrator to maintain the accounting records of the Company independently of the Investment Adviser and the Depositary. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable law and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The accounting information given in the annual report is required to be audited and the Audit report, including any qualifications, is reproduced in full in the annual report of the Company.

The control processes over the risks identified, covering financial, operational, compliance and risk management, is embedded in the operations of the Management Company, BIM UK and other parties including the Administrator and the Depositary. There is a monitoring and reporting process to review these controls, which has been in place throughout the period under review and up to the date of this report, carried out by BIM UK’s corporate audit department.

Directors’ Report continued

BIM UK’s internal audit and operational risk units report to the Board through the Management Company on a quarterly basis. The Management Company also receives a report from the Administrator and the Depositary on the internal controls of the administrative and custodial operations of the Company. The Board recognises that these control systems can only be designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve fund objectives, and to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss, and relies on the operating controls established by the service providers.

Financial ReportingThe Company prepares its financial statements under Luxembourg GAAP and on a going concern basis.

RemunerationThe Company is an investment company and has no employees or executive Directors. No Director (past or present) has any entitlement to a pension from the Company, and the Company has not awarded any share options or long-term performance incentives. No element of Directors’ remuneration is performance-related. Those Directors who are also employees of the BlackRock Group are not entitled to receive a Director’s fee. All other Directors are paid fees which are submitted for approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting and are disclosed on page 138. The Board believes that the level of remuneration for those Directors who take a fee properly reflects the time commitment and responsibilities of their roles. The maximum amount of remuneration payable to the Directors is approved by the Board.

Communication with ShareholdersThe Board is responsible for convening the annual general meeting and all other general meetings of the Company. Shareholders have the opportunity to, and are encouraged to attend and vote at general meetings. Notice of general meetings is issued in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and notice of the annual general meeting is sent out at least 8 days in advance of the meeting.

Report on Remuneration

The below disclosures are made in respect of the remuneration policies of the BlackRock Group (“BlackRock”), as they apply to BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. (the “Management Company”). The disclosures are made in accordance with the Directive 2009/65/EC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to UCITS, as amended, including in particular by Directive 2014/91/EU of the European Parliament and of the council of 23 July 2014, (the “Directive”), and the “Guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the UCITS Directive and AIFMD” issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority.

BlackRock’s UCITS Remuneration Policy (the “UCITS Remuneration Policy”) will apply to the European Economic Area (“EEA”) entities within the BlackRock Group authorised as a management company of UCITS funds in accordance with the Directive, and will ensure compliance with the requirements of Article 14b of the Directive.

The Management Company has adopted the UCITS Remuneration Policy, a summary of which is set out below.

Remuneration Governance BlackRock’s remuneration governance in EMEA operates as a tiered structure which includes: (a) the Management Development and Compensation Committee (“MDCC”) (which is the global, independent remuneration committee for BlackRock, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, including the Management Company); and (b) the Management Company’s Board of Directors (the “Management Company’s Board”). The MDCC is responsible for the determination of BlackRock’s remuneration policies.

(a) MDCC The MDCC’s purposes include:

� providing oversight of: � BlackRock’s executive compensation programmes; � BlackRock’s employee benefit plans; and � such other compensation plans as may be established by BlackRock from time to time for which the MDCC is deemed as administrator;

� reviewing and discussing the compensation discussion and analysis included in the BlackRock, Inc. annual proxy statement with management and approving the MDCC’s report for inclusion in the proxy statement;

� reviewing, assessing and making reports and recommendations to the BlackRock, Inc. Board of Directors (the “BlackRock, Inc. Board”) as appropriate on BlackRock’s talent development and succession planning, with the emphasis on performance and succession at the highest management levels; and

� in accordance with applicable UK and European regulations and guidance, to act as the Remuneration Committee for BlackRock’s EMEA regulated entities.

The MDCC directly retains an independent compensation consultant, Semler Brossy Consulting Group LLC, which has no relationship with BlackRock, Inc. or the BlackRock, Inc. Board that would interfere with its ability to provide independent advice to the MDCC on compensation matters.

The BlackRock, Inc. Board has determined that all of the members of the MDCC are “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which requires each meet a “non-employee director” standard.

The MDCC held 10 meetings during 2017. The MDCC charter is available on BlackRock, Inc.’s website (www.blackrock.com).

Through its regular reviews, the MDCC continues to be satisfied with the principles of BlackRock’s compensation policy and approach.

(b) The Management Company’s BoardThe Management Company’s Board has the task of supervising and providing oversight of the UCITS Remuneration Policy as it applies to the Management Company and its Identified Staff.

The Management Company’s Board (through independent review by the relevant control functions) remains satisfied with the implementation of the UCITS Remuneration Policy as it applies to the Management Company and its Identified Staff.

Decision­making processRemuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year. This timing allows full-year financial results to be considered along with other non-financial goals and objectives. Although the framework for remuneration decision-making is tied to financial performance, significant discretion is used to determine individual variable remuneration based on achievement of strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities.

No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards. In determining specific individual remuneration amounts, a number of factors are considered including non-financial goals and objectives and overall financial and investment performance. These results are viewed in the aggregate without any specific weighting, and there is no direct correlation between any particular performance measure and the resulting annual incentive award. The variable remuneration awarded to any individual(s) for a particular performance year may also be zero.

Annual Report and Audited Accounts [17]

Report on Remuneration continued

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool.

The size of the projected bonus pool, including cash and equity awards, is reviewed throughout the year by the MDCC and the final total bonus pool is approved after year-end. As part of this review, the MDCC receives actual and projected financial information over the course of the year as well as final year-end information. The financial information that the MDCC receives and considers includes the current year projected income statement and other financial measures compared with prior year results and the current year budget. The MDCC additionally reviews other metrics of BlackRock’s financial performance (e.g., net inflows of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) and investment performance) as well as information regarding market conditions and competitive compensation levels.

The MDCC regularly considers management’s recommendation as to the percentage of preincentive operating income that will be accrued and reflected as a compensation expense throughout the year for the cash portion of the total annual bonus pool (the “accrual rate”). The accrual rate of the cash portion of the total annual bonus pool may be modified by the MDCC during the year based on its review of the financial information described above. The MDCC does not apply any particular weighting or formula to the information it considers when determining the size of the total bonus pool or the accruals made for the cash portion of the total bonus pool.

Following the end of the performance year, the MDCC approves the final bonus pool amount.

As part of the year-end review process the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments report to the MDCC on any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions.

Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Control functionsEach of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) has its own organisational structure which is independent of the business units. The head of each control function is either a member of the Global Executive Committee (“GEC”), BlackRock’s global management committee, or has a reporting obligation to the Manager’s Board.

Functional bonus pools are determined with reference to the performance of each individual function. The remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by the Committee.

Link between pay and performanceThere is a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy and compensation programmes which are designed to meet the following key objectives as detailed below:

� appropriately balance BlackRock’s financial results between shareholders and employees;

� attract, retain and motivate employees capable of making significant contributions to the long-term success of the business;

� align the interests of senior employees with those of shareholders by awarding BlackRock Inc.’s stock as a significant part of both annual and long-term incentive awards;

� control fixed costs by ensuring that compensation expense varies with profitability;

� link a significant portion of an employee’s total compensation to the financial and operational performance of the business as well as its common stock performance;

� discourage excessive risk-taking; and

� ensure that client interests are not negatively impacted by remuneration awarded on a short-term, mid-term and/or long-term basis.

Driving a high-performance culture is dependent on the ability to measure performance against objectives, values and behaviours in a clear and consistent way. Line Management Companies use a 5-point rating scale to provide an overall assessment of an employee’s performance, and employees also provide a self-evaluation. The overall, final rating is reconciled during each employee’s performance appraisal. Employees are assessed on the manner in which performance is attained as well as the absolute performance itself.

In keeping with the pay-for-performance philosophy, ratings are used to differentiate and reward individual performance – but do not pre-determine compensation outcomes. Compensation decisions remain discretionary and are made as part of the year-end compensation process.

When setting remuneration levels other factors are considered, as well as individual performance, which may include:

� the performance of the Management Company, the funds managed by the Management Company and/or the relevant functional department;

Report on Remuneration continued

� factors relevant to an employee individually; relationships with clients and colleagues; teamwork; skills; any conduct issues; and, subject to any applicable policy, the impact that any relevant leave of absence may have on contribution to the business);

� the management of risk within the risk profiles appropriate for BlackRockʼs clients;

� strategic business needs, including intentions regarding retention;

� market intelligence; and

� criticality to business.

A primary product tool is risk management and, while employees are compensated for strong performance in their management of client assets, they are required to manage risk within the risk profiles appropriate for their clients. Therefore, employees are not rewarded for engaging in high-risk transactions outside of established parameters. Remuneration practices do not provide undue incentives for short-term planning or short-term financial rewards, do not reward unreasonable risk and provide a reasonable balance between the many and substantial risks inherent within the business of investment management, risk management and advisory services.

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme.

BlackRock operates an annual discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to be considered for a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make any award to an employee under its discretionary bonus scheme. In exercising discretion to award a discretionary bonus, the factors listed above (under the heading “Link between pay and performance”) may be taken into account in addition to any other matters which become relevant to the exercise of discretion in the course of the performance year.

Discretionary bonus awards for all employees, including executive officers, are subject to a guideline that determines the portion paid in cash and the portion paid in BlackRock, Inc. stock and subject to additional vesting/clawback conditions. Stock awards are subject to further performance adjustment through variation in BlackRock, Inc.’s share price over the vesting period. As total annual compensation increases, a greater portion is deferred into stock. The MDCC adopted this approach in 2006 to substantially increase the retention value and shareholder alignment of the compensation package for eligible employees, including the executive officers.

The portion deferred into stock vests in three equal instalments over the three years following grant.

Supplementary to the annual discretionary bonus as described above, equity awards from the “Partner Plan” and “Targeted Equity Award Plan” are made to select senior leaders to provide greater linkage with future business results. The long-term incentive awards have been established individually to provide meaningful incentive for continued performance over a multi-year period recognising the scope of the individual’s role, business expertise and leadership skills.

Selected senior leaders are eligible to receive performance-adjusted equity-based awards from the “BlackRock Performance Incentive Plan” (“BPIP”). Awards made from the BPIP have a three-year performance period based on a measurement of As Adjusted Operating Margin(1) and Organic Revenue Growth(2). Determination of pay-out will be made based on the firm’s achievement relative to target financial results at the conclusion of the performance period. The maximum number of shares that can be earned is 165% of the award in those situations where both metrics achieve pre-determined financial targets. No shares will be earned where the firm’s financial performance in both of the above metrics is below a pre-determined performance threshold. These metrics have been selected as key measures of shareholder value which endure across market cycles.

A limited number of investment professionals have a portion of their annual discretionary bonus (as described above) awarded as deferred cash that notionally tracks investment in selected products managed by the employee. The intention of these awards is to align investment professionals with the investment returns of the products they manage through the deferral of compensation into those products. Clients and external evaluators have increasingly viewed more favourably those products where key investors have “skin in the game” through significant personal investments. These awards vest in equal instalments over the three years following grant.

Identified StaffThe UCITS Remuneration Policy sets out the process that will be applied to identify staff as Identified Staff, being categories of staff of the Management Company, including senior management, risk takers, control functions and any employee receiving total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration bracket as senior management and risk takers, whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profiles of the Management Company or of the funds it manages.

The list of Identified Staff will be subject to regular review, being formally reviewed in the event of, but not limited to:

� organisational changes;

(1) As Adjusted Operating Margin: As reported in BlackRockʼs external filings, reflects adjusted Operating Income divided by Total Revenue net of distribution and servicing expenses and

amortisation of deferred sales commissions.(2) Organic Revenue Growth: Equal to net new base fees plus net new Aladdin revenue generated in the year (in US dollars).

Report on Remuneration continued

� new business initiatives;

� changes in significant influence function lists;

� changes in role responsibilities; and

� revised regulatory direction.

Quantitative Remuneration DisclosureThe Management Company is required under the UCITS to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of the Management Company; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Company.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Company is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

Members of staff and senior management of the Management Company typically provide both UCITS and non-UCITS related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of the Management Company and across the broader BlackRock Group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Management Company’s UCITS-related business according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of the Management Company. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by the Management Company to its staff which has been attributed to the Management Company’s UCITS-related business in respect of the Management Company’s financial year ending 31 December 2017 is USD 89.7 million. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 5.3 million and variable remuneration of USD 84.4 million. There were a total of 104 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by the Management Company, which has been attributed to the Management Company’s UCITS-related business in respect of the Management Company’s financial year ending 31 December 2017, to its senior management was USD 0.2 million, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Management Company’s UCITS-related business was USD 89.5 million.

The Company was established on 30 August 2012 and was authorised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”) as an UCITS pursuant to the provisions of Part I of the law of 17 December 2010, as amended and is regulated pursuant to such law (the “2010 Law”).

Each Fund is a separate pool of assets and is represented by separate shares of each Fund which are divided into share classes as detailed in Appendix I.

The classes of shares have equivalent rights in the Company but carry different features and charging structures which are more fully described in the Company’s Prospectus.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Luxembourg and with the legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements as prescribed by the Luxembourg authorities for Luxembourg UCITS and include the following significant accounting policies:

(a) Valuation of Investments and Other Assets

The Company’s investments and other assets are valued as follows:

transferable securities which are admitted to an official exchange listing or dealt in on another regulated market, are valued on the basis of the latest available price prevailing on the valuation date. For securities traded on markets closing after the time of the valuation, last known prices as of this time or such other time may be used. Where such securities or other assets are quoted or dealt in, on or by more than one stock exchange or regulated market the Board may in its discretion select one of such stock exchanges or regulated markets for such purposes. Discrepancies in the value of securities may result, for example, where the underlying markets are closed for business at the time of calculating the NAV of certain Funds or where governments chose to impose fiscal or transaction charges on foreign investment. As a result, the Directors have implemented fair value techniques in order to estimate the fair value of these investments. Such securities and derivatives shall be valued at their probable realisation value as determined by the competent persons (the Directors). Because of the inherent uncertainty in the fair value process, these estimated values may significantly differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and from the values that may be ultimately recovered;

for non-quoted securities or securities not traded or dealt in on any stock exchange or other regulated market (including securities of closed-ended investment funds), as well as quoted or non-quoted securities on such other markets for which no valuation price is available, or securities for which the quoted prices are, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, not representative of the fair market value, the value shall be determined prudently and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of their expected disposal or acquisition price;

if in any case a particular value is not ascertainable by the methods outlined above, or if the Board of Directors of the Company consider that some other method of valuation more accurately reflects the fair value of the relevant security or other asset for the purpose concerned, the method of valuation of the security or asset will be such as the Board of Directors of the Company in their absolute discretion decide. Discrepancies in value of securities may result, for example, where the underlying markets are closed for business at the time of calculating the NAV

Page 138: Annual Report and Audited Accounts BlackRock …...The weak coalition pulled together by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and messy elections in Italy continued to weigh on the

[136] BlackRock Global Index Funds (BGIF)

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

of certain Funds. In such cases the Board of Directors of the Company may set specific thresholds, that, where exceeded, result in adjustment to the value of these securities to their fair value by applying a specific index adjustment. Additionally, where governments choose to impose fiscal or transaction charges on foreign investment, the Board of Directors of the Company may adjust the NAV to reflect such charges.

As at 31 March 2018, such fair valuation adjustment was applied as per table below:

Fund Currency

securities % of Net

AssetsiShares Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund (LU) USD 2 0.00

securities lending: securities are delivered to a third party broker in accordance with lending agent instructions and continue to be valued as part of the portfolio of the Fund;

liquid assets such as money market instruments may be valued at nominal values plus any accrued interest or at amortised cost basis which approximated their fair value;

cash at bank, bills payable on demand and other debts are valued at their nominal amount, unless it appears unlikely that such nominal amount is obtainable;

cash collateral provided by the Company is identified on the balance sheet as pledged cash collateral and is not included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. Cash collateral provided to the Company by counterparties is identified on the balance sheet as cash collateral payable. The Company may reinvest this cash collateral and the assets purchased are included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet;

assets which include, in particular, interest and dividends receivable, receivable for investments sold and receivable for Fund shares subscribed, are valued at nominal value unless it appears unlikely that such nominal amount is obtainable;

liabilities which include, in particular, expenses payable, income distribution payable, payable for investments purchased and payable for fund shares redeemed, are valued at their nominal value.

(b) Net realised gains and losses on Investments

Net realised gains and losses on sales of investments have been determined on the basis of the average cost method.

(c) Income/Expense from Investments

The Company takes credit for income from its investments on the following basis:

interest income is accrued daily and includes the amortisation on a straight line basis of premiums and accretion of discounts;

bank interest income/expense is recognised on an accrual basis;

dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date and is shown net of withholding taxes;

securities lending income is accrued on a weekly basis;

negative yield expense on financial assets relating to interest from a negative effective interest rate on assets held is accreted daily and is recognised in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets over the life of the underlying instrument;

when a bond has been identified as being in default, the interest accrual on the defaulted security is stopped. On confirmation of default from relevant parties, the amount receivable is written off;

the date included in the description of any perpetual bonds in the Portfolio of Investments is the next callable date of the bonds and the interest rate disclosed under the description in the Portfolio of Investments is the interest rate applicable at the period end and is for information only as these bonds are bearing variable interest rates.

(d) Financial Derivative Instruments

During the year, the Funds have entered into a number of forward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts. Open forward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts are valued at the fair market value to close the contracts on the valuation date. Surpluses/deficits arising from these and unsettled contracts are taken to net unrealised appreciation/(depreciation) and are included under assets or liabilities (as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets. The net change in unrealised appreciation or depreciation and the net realised gains or losses on settlement or closing transactions of forward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts are presented in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

(e) Foreign Exchange

The cost of investments in currencies other than the currency of denomination of the respective Fund has been translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the time of purchase. Investments and other assets and liabilities in currencies other than the currency of denomination of the respective Fund have been translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the Fund’s recent valuation point in Luxembourg. The net change in unrealised appreciation or depreciation and the net realised gains or losses on disposal or settlement of other assets or liabilities in currencies other than the currency of denomination of the respective Fund are presented in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

(f) Combined Financial Statements

The accounts of each Fund are expressed in the Funds’ base currency.

The combined figures of the Company are expressed in USD and include the total of the financial statements of the different Funds, translated if necessary. For the translation of the Statement of Net Assets, the following exchange rate prevailing at the Fund’s valuation point in Luxembourg

as at 31 March 2018 for all Funds expressed in Euros, has been applied:

EURUSD 0.8115

For the translation of the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, the following exchange rate is the average rate calculated over the year for all Funds expressed in Euros:

EURUSD 0.8561

The combined figures in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets have been calculated using the average exchange rates throughout the year. The resulting Foreign exchange adjustment of USD 224,006,249 represents the movement in exchange rates between 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2018. This is a notional amount, which has no impact on the Net Assets of the individual Funds.

(g) Income Equalisation

The Company operates Income Equalisation arrangements with a view to ensure that the level of net income accrued within a Fund is not affected by the issue, conversion or redemption of Fund shares during an accounting year.

The Income Equalisation is included in the Movements in share capital in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

(h) Dilution

If on any dealing day the aggregate transactions in shares of all classes of a Fund result in a net increase or decrease of shares which exceeds a threshold set by the Board of Directors of the Company, the NAV of the relevant Fund may be adjusted by an amount which reflects the dealing costs to be incurred by the Fund and the estimated bid/offer spread of the assets in which the Fund invests. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company may agree to include anticipated fiscal charges in the amount of the adjustment. As at 31 March 2018, no dilution adjustment was applied.

The published/dealing NAV per share is disclosed in the Three Year Summary of Net Asset Values and may include a dilution adjustment. This adjustment is not recognised in the Statement of Net Assets or the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

(i) Transaction costs

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of securities. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the security. When a security is recognised initially, it is measured at its market value, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the security.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Transaction costs excluding depositary transaction fees on purchases or sales of securities are included within net realised gain/(loss) or net change in unrealised appreciation/ (depreciation) within the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets of each Fund. Depositary transaction fees are included within depositary fees in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets of each Fund. Refer to Note 6 for further information.

(j) Foreign currencies on other transactions

Foreign currencies on other transactions relate to realised and unrealised appreciation or depreciation on cash balances and spot contracts.

3. Management CompanyBlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. has been appointed by the Company to act as its Management Company. The Management Company is authorised to act as a fund management company in accordance with Chapter 15 of the 2010 Law.

The Company has signed a management company agreement with the Management Company. Under this agreement, the Management Company is entrusted with the day-to-day management of the Company, with responsibility for performing directly or by way of delegation all operational functions relating to the Company’s investment management, administration, and marketing of the Funds.

In agreement with the Company, the Management Company has decided to delegate several of its functions as is further described in the Prospectus.

BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary within the BlackRock Group. It is regulated by the CSSF.

4. Management FeesDuring the year, the Company paid management fees to the Management Company.

The Company pays management fees at an annual rate. The level of management fee varies from 0.05 % to 0.50 % of the NAV, with the exception of Class X shares, which do not pay management fees. The level of management fee varies according to which Fund and share class the investor buys. These fees accrue daily, are based on the NAV of the relevant Fund and are paid monthly. The Management Company pays certain costs and fees out of the management fees, including the fees of the Investment Advisers.

The management fees attributable to each share class of each Fund are disclosed in detail in Appendix E of the Prospectus and KIID of the Company. Management fees payable at 31 March 2018 are included in the Statement of Net Assets under the caption “Accrued expenses and other liabilities”.

5. Administration FeesThe Company pays an administration fee to the Management Company.

The level of administration fee may vary at the Board of Directors of the Company’s discretion, as agreed with the Management Company, and will apply at different rates across the various Funds and share classes issued by the Company. However, it has been agreed between the Board of Directors of the Company and the Management Company that the administration fee currently paid shall not exceed 0.15 % per annum. It is accrued daily, based on the NAV of the relevant share class and paid monthly.

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Management Company set the level of the administration fee at a rate which aims to ensure that the total expense ratio of each Fund remains competitive when compared across a broad market of similar investment products available to investors in the Funds, taking into account a number of criteria such as the market sector of each Fund and the Fund’s performance relative to its peer group.

The administration fee is used by the Management Company to meet all fixed and variable operating and administrative costs and expenses incurred by the Company, with the exception of the Depositary fees, plus any taxes thereon and any taxes at an investment or Company level.

These operating and administrative expenses include all third party expenses and other recoverable costs incurred by or on behalf of the Company from time to time, including but not limited to, fund accounting fees, transfer agency fees (including sub-transfer agency and associated platform dealing charges), all professional costs, such as consultancy, legal, tax advisory and audit fees, Directors’ fees (for those Directors who are not employees of the BlackRock Group), travel expenses, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, printing, publication, translation and all other costs relating to shareholder reporting, regulatory filing and licence fees, correspondent and other banking charges, software support and maintenance, operational costs and expenses attributed to the Investor Servicing teams and other global administration services provided by various BlackRock Group companies.

The Management Company bears the financial risk of ensuring that the Fund’s total expense ratio remains competitive. Accordingly the Management Company is entitled to retain any amount of the administration fee paid to it which is in excess of the actual expenses incurred by the Company during any year whereas any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in any year which exceed the amount of administration fee that is paid to the Management Company, shall be borne by the Management Company or another BlackRock Group company.

Administration fees payable at 31 March 2018 are included in the Statement of Net Assets under the caption “Accrued expenses and other liabilities”.

From 8 March 2017, any costs relating to withholding tax reclaims (plus any taxes or interest thereon) are no longer be paid by the Management Company and are allocated between the relevant Funds on a fair and equitable basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Directors of the Company who are not employees of the BlackRock Group receive a fee of EUR 30,000 per annum gross of taxation in return for their duties performed during the year ended 31 March 2018. The Chairman receives a fee of EUR 33,500 per annum gross of taxation. Directors who are employees of the BlackRock Group are not entitled to receive a Directors fee.

6. Depositary FeesThe Depositary receives a fee in respect of each Fund. These fees are to remunerate the Depositary for safekeeping and transaction costs applicable to each Fund. These fees will vary in respect of each Fund depending on the value of assets under management and the volume of trading in that Fund.

The Depositary receives annual fees, based on the value of securities, which accrue daily, plus transaction fees. The annual depositary safekeeping fees range from 0.005 % to 0.40 % of the NAV per annum and the transaction fees range from USD 5 to USD 75 per transaction. The rates for both categories of fees will vary according to the country of investment and, in some cases, according to asset class. Investments in bonds and developed equity markets will be at the lower end of these ranges, while some investments in emerging or developing markets will be at the upper end. Thus the depositary fee to each Fund will depend on its asset allocation at any time.

Depositary fees payable at 31 March 2018 are included in the Statement of Net Assets under the caption “Accrued expenses and other liabilities”.

7. TaxesLuxembourgThe Company is registered under Luxembourg law as an investment company. Accordingly, no Luxembourg income or capital gains tax is at present payable by the Company. The Funds are exempt from the subscription tax (“taxe d’abonnement ”) because the sole objective of each Fund is to match / replicate the performance of its Benchmark Index and all share classes of the Company are listed on the Euro MTF (since 25 August 2017). Therefore, in accordance with the 2010 Law, which provides an exemption from “taxe d’abonnement ” to funds and classes structured in this manner, it is expected that the share classes should be exempt from this annual subscription tax.

United KingdomReporting FundsThe UK Reporting Funds regime applies to the Company. Under this regime, investors in UK Reporting Funds are subject to tax on the share of the UK Reporting Funds income attributable to their holdings in the Fund, whether or not distributed, but any gains on disposal of their holdings are subject to capital gains tax. A list of the Funds which currently have UK Reporting Fund status is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/offshore-funds-list-of-reporting-funds.

Other transaction taxesOther jurisdictions may impose taxes, Financial Transactions Taxes (“FTT”) or other transaction taxes on certain assets held by the Funds (for example UK stamp duty, French FTT).

Withholding taxDividends and interest received by the Company on its investments may be subject to withholding taxes in the countries of origin which are generally irrecoverable as the Company itself is exempt from income tax. Recent European Union case law may, however, reduce the amount of such irrecoverable tax. Investors should inform themselves of, and when appropriate consult their professional advisers on, the possible tax consequences of subscribing for, buying, holding, redeeming, converting or selling Shares under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile. Investors should note that the levels and bases of, and reliefs from, taxation can change. The potential of withholding tax charges is further described in the Prospectus.

8. Investment AdvisersThe Management Company, BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A., has delegated some management and provision of investment advice to the Investment Advisers: BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited (“BIM UK”) and BlackRock Institutional Trust Company N.A., as described in the Prospectus. The Investment Advisers provides advice and management in the areas of stock and sector selection and strategic allocation. Notwithstanding the appointment of the Investment Advisers, the Management Company accepts full responsibility to the Company for all investment transactions.

BlackRock Institutional Trust Company N.A. does not currently provide any investment advice on existing Funds.

9. Transactions with Connected PersonsThe ultimate holding company of the Management Company, the Principal Distributor and the Investment Advisers is BlackRock, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, USA. PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (“PNC Group”) is a substantial shareholder in BlackRock, Inc.. When arranging transactions in securities for the Company, companies in the PNC Group may have provided securities, brokerage,

Page 142: Annual Report and Audited Accounts BlackRock …...The weak coalition pulled together by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and messy elections in Italy continued to weigh on the

[140] BlackRock Global Index Funds (BGIF)

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

foreign exchange, banking and other services or may have acted as principal on their usual terms and may benefit therefrom. Commission has been paid to brokers and agents in accordance with the relevant market practice and the benefit of any bulk or other commission discounts or cash commission rebates provided by brokers or agents have been passed on to the Company. The services of PNC Group companies could have been used by the Investment Advisers where it was considered appropriate to do so provided that their commissions and other terms of business are generally comparable with those available from unassociated brokers and agents in the markets concerned, and that this is consistent with the above policy of obtaining best results.

During the year, there have been no significant transactions which were outside the ordinary course of business or which were not on normal commercial terms. There were no transactions of the Company effected through BlackRock companies.

The securities lending agent appointed pursuant to the securities lending agreement is BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited which is a related party to the Company. BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited bears all operational costs directly related to securities loan transactions.

The Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc.. The indemnity allows for full replacement of securities on loan. BlackRock, Inc. bears the cost of indemnification against borrower default.

10. DividendsDistributions will not be made to the shareholders of the Non-Distributing Classes. The investment income and other profits will be accumulated and reinvested on behalf of these shareholders.

For the distributing share classes the policy is to distribute substantially all the investment income for the year after deduction of expenses. The Board of Directors of the Company may also determine if and to what extent dividends may include distribution, from both net realised and net unrealised capital gains. Where distributing share classes pay dividends that include net realised capital gains or net unrealised capital gains, dividends may include initially subscribed capital.

The Board of Directors of the Company intend to declare dividends on the distributing share classes out of the net revenue of the relevant Fund (i.e. all interest, dividends and other income less the Fund’s accrued expenses) for that financial year.

Where a Fund has UK Reporting Fund status and reported income exceeds distributions made then the surplus shall be treated as a deemed dividend and will be taxed as income, subject to the tax status of the investor.

Dividends will normally be declared with a view to being paid semi-annually (March and September).

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D'ENTREPRISES AGREE

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

560, rue de Neudorf L-2220 LuxembourgBP. 1173 L-1011 Luxembourg

· Tel: +352 451 451www.deloitte.lu

We have audited the financial statements of BlackRock Global Index Funds {the « Company ») and of each of its

sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the portfolio of investments as at 31 March 2018 and

the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and notes to the financial

statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

ln our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the

Company as at 31 March 2018, and of the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year

then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and

presentation of the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession {Law of 23 July

2016) and with International Standards on Auditing {ISAs) as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Commission de

Surveillance du Secteur Financier" (CSSF). Our responsibilities under those Law and standards are further

described in the "Responsibilities of Réviseur d'entreprises agréé for the Audit of the Financial Statements"

section of our report. We are also independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics

Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted for

Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial

statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe

that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our report of Réviseur

d'entreprises agréé thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of

assurance conclusion thereon.

ln connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing

so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge

obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we

concluded that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have

nothing to report in this regards.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors of the Company and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial

Statements

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and

presentation of the financial statements, and for such internai control as the Board of Directors of the Company

determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from mate rial misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

Page 145: Annual Report and Audited Accounts BlackRock …...The weak coalition pulled together by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and messy elections in Italy continued to weigh on the

Deloitte.

ln preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for assessing the

Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern

and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors of the Company either intends to

liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of Réviseur d'entreprises agréé that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the

CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errar and

are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the

economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg

by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain prafessional scepticism thraughout the

audit. We also:

• ldentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to

fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit

evidence that is sufficient and apprapriate

• to pravide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from

fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional

omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internai contrai.

• Obtain an understanding of internai contrai relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures

that are apprapriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

effectiveness of the Company's internai contrai.

• Evaluate the apprapriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Company.

• Conclude on the apprapriateness of Board of Directors of the Company use of the going concem basis

of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related

to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going

concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our

report of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if

such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit

evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé. However, future

events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in

a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and

timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internai contrai that we

identify during our audit.

Appendix II – Global Market Risk Exposure (Unaudited)

The Management Company adopted the Commitment Approach as the global exposure methodology of the Funds.

The Commitment Approach is a methodology that aggregates the underlying market or notional values of financial derivative instruments to determine the degree of global exposure of a Fund to financial derivative instruments.

Pursuant to the 2010 Law, the global exposure for a Fund under the Commitment Approach must not exceed 100% of that Fund’s NAV. As at 31 March 2018 the global exposure of each Fund did not exceed 100% of its NAV.

Efficient Portfolio Management TechniquesThe Company may, on behalf of each Fund and subject to the conditions and within the limits laid down by the CSSF and the Prospectus, employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities provided that such techniques and instruments are used for efficient portfolio management purposes or to provide protection against exchange risk or for direct investment purposes, where applicable.

Securities LendingAll securities lending transactions entered into by the Funds are subject to a written legal agreement between the Funds and the Securities Lending Agent, BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited, a related party to the Company, and separately between the Securities Lending Agent and the approved borrowing counterparty. Collateral received in exchange for securities lent is transferred under a title transfer arrangement and is delivered to and held in an account with a tri-party collateral manager in the name of the Depositary, State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. on behalf of the Funds. Collateral received is segregated from the assets belonging to the Funds’ Depositary or the Securities Lending Agent.

The following table details the value of securities on loan as a proportion of the Funds’ total lendable assets and NAV. Total lendable assets represents the aggregate value of assets forming part of the Funds’ securities lending programme.

Investment grade securities are those issued by an entity with a minimum investment grade credit rating from at least one globally recognised credit rating agency; Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch.

A recognised equity index contains at least 20 equities where no single equity represents more than 20 % of the total index and no five equities combined represent more than 60 % of the total index.

The maturity tenor analysis for fixed income securities received as collateral is based on the respective contractual maturity date, while for equity securities, ETFs and money market funds received as collateral are presented as open transactions as they are not subject to a contractual maturity date.

Cash collateral received relating to securities lending is not subject to a contractual maturity date.

The following table provides an analysis of the amounts of non-cash collateral received by the Funds in respect of securities lending transactions and held by the Funds’ Depositary (or through its delegates) or through a securities settlement system as at 31 March 2018.
