Background

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 5 ]

iShares V public limited company (the "Company") is organised as an open-ended investment Company with variable capital. The Company was

incorporated in Ireland on 2 December 2009 with limited liability and segregated liability between its Funds and is organised under the laws of

Ireland as a Public Limited Company (“plc”) pursuant to the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 and the European Communities (Undertaking for

Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the "UCITS Regulations") and is regulated by the Central

Bank of Ireland.

The Company is structured as an umbrella Fund and comprises separate Funds (“Funds”) of the Company.

The term “Fund” shall be deemed to mean either a Fund of the Company, or if the context so requires, the Manager or its delegate acting for the

account of the relevant Fund. The term “BlackRock” is used to represent BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. The investment objectives and

policies of each Fund are set out in the prospectus and the relevant supplemental prospectus.

Changes to the Company

Effective 9 January 2014, iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF was listed on the Borsa Italiana.

Effective 24 January 2014, iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF was listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

An updated prospectus was issued on 14 April 2014. A further updated prospectus was issued on 6 October 2014. Please refer to the

prospectus for details of amendments made.

Until 30 April 2014, securities lending income was split between the Fund and the securities lending agent in a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the

Fund. Effective 1 May 2014 the ratio changed to 62.5:37.5 in favour of the Fund.

iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Growth UCITS ETF launched on 6 June 2014. This Fund has adopted UK Reporting Fund Status.

On 12 June 2014, the Board of Directors resolved to merge iShares MSCI USA UCITS ETF, a Fund of iShares V Plc with iShares MSCI USA - B

UCITS ETF a Fund of iShares VII Plc with effect from 18 August 2014. The merger was approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") on

14 July 2014. The exchange ratio used to calculate the number of shares in the Receiving Fund issued to former shareholders of the Merging

Fund was 0.245811029. As a result, iShares MSCI USA UCITS ETF closed on 18 August 2014, this Fund has been prepared on a termination

basis.

Effective 6 October 2014, the Investment Manager changed the methodology used to calculate global exposure from relative Value at Risk

(“VaR”) to the commitment approach on all Funds with the exception of those presented in the table below:

Fund

iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares MSCI Japan EUR Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares MSCI World EUR Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares MSCI World GBP Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares S&P 500 EUR Hedged UCITS ETF

iShares S&P 500 GBP Hedged UCITS ETF

The Investment Manager has concluded that the commitment approach is a more suitable methodology based on the Funds’ investment

strategies and risk profile. The commitment approach is a methodology that aggregates the underlying market or notional value of financial

derivative instruments to determine the global exposure of the Fund. In accordance with the UCITS notices, global exposure for a fund utilising

the commitment approach must not exceed 100% of the Fund’s NAV. The change in methodology does not change the way in which the Funds

are managed. As disclosed under the Market Risk section, the Investment Manager will continue to report VaR and other relevant metrics to the

Board of Directors on a quarterly basis for risk management purposes.

TRACKING DIFFERENCE

Tracking 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 non-replicating 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 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.

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 year ended

30 November 2014. An explanation for the difference gross of TER is provided:

TRACKING ERROR

Realised 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.

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 non-replicating 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 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.

Cash management, efficient portfolio management techniques including securities lending, transaction costs from rebalancing and currency

hedging 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.

In addition to the above, the Funds may also 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.

The table below 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 30 November 2014. An explanation of the difference is provided. The realised tracking error is

annualised and calculated using data from the preceding 36 month observation period. Where a fund has not been trading for 36 months, the

annualised tracking error since inception has been presented.

MARKET REVIEW

Equities

Global equities

This market background summary covers iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI World EUR Hedged UCITS ETF and iShares MSCI

World GBP Hedged UCITS ETF.

Global equities generated solid gains over the Company’s review year. Despite a rise in geopolitical tensions as conflict in the Middle East

deepened and concerns persisted over the lacklustre Eurozone economy, optimism that the US led global economic recovery would continue to

underpin corporate earnings lent support to global equities.

Against the backdrop of firm economic data during the final quarter of 2013, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced that the $85

billion/month quantitative easing (QE) stimulus programme would be progressively wound down, by $10 billion/month from January. Although

the news initially produced a muted reaction in developed markets, many higher risk emerging equity markets suffered significant falls around

the turn of the year, reflecting concerns that earlier QE related inflows could be reversed. Equity investors remained nervous for much of the

first quarter amid concerns over the ongoing Ukraine crisis and some disappointing economic news from China and the US. However, sentiment

subsequently gradually improved amid signs that the US economy’s poor first quarter performance had been largely weather related, with signs

of a significant second quarter rebound subsequently helping US equities to lead their global peers higher. Asian emerging markets were among

the leading gainers against the backdrop of some more positive Japanese economic news flow and sporadic signs of improvement in some

Chinese data. Meanwhile growing optimism that European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers would introduce new measures to boost faltering

growth and fight deflationary pressures helped global equities to end the first half of 2014 on a high.

Although global equities lost ground in late July as the loss of the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine prompted tougher

sanctions against Russia, optimism over the outlook for the US economy helped equities to recover. Market volatility picked up from historically

low levels, with investors’ appetite for risk hit by rising geopolitical worries amid coalition military intervention in the Middle East and fears over

the spread of Ebola. Despite disappointing economic indicators in the Eurozone, investors drew comfort from news that ECB policymakers

would combine recent interest rate cuts with a limited asset repurchase programme, albeit stopping short of QE. Despite a sharp slide in early

October amid concerns that increasingly robust US economic news could convince the Fed to raise interest rates in mid-2015, global equities

subsequently sustained a robust rally from their mid-October lows to end the Company’s review year on a firm note. The gains were driven by

the announcement of a large extension to Japan’s economic stimulus programme, encouraging news from the US jobs market, positive data

from China’s manufacturing sector and optimism that Eurozone policymakers could be inching towards launching a full QE programme. A slide

in oil prices also raised hopes that global businesses and consumers could channel the savings from lower energy related outgoings into

increased spending elsewhere. Nevertheless, the sharp drop in oil prices and the effect of sanctions increasingly impacted on the Russian

economy, with the rouble’s declining intensifying into December.

Over the review year the equities complying with the size, liquidity and free float criteria specified for inclusion in MSCI’s All Country World Index

(ACWI) Net USD Index marginally underperformed relative to wider global equity indices. iShares MSCI World GBP Hedged UCITS ETF slightly

outperformed iShares MSCI World EUR Hedged UCITS ETF during the year, reflecting sterling’s gains relative to the euro.

US equities

This market background summary covers iShares MSCI USA UCITS ETF, iShares S&P 500 EUR Hedged UCITS ETF and iShares S&P 500 GBP

Hedged UCITS ETF.

US stocks delivered very strong returns over the Company’s review year, outperforming their global developed and developing market peers.

Despite some sporadic signs that the pace of the US economic recovery was moderating very slightly in late 2013 and the Fed’s decision to taper

QE, growing confidence that the increasingly robust US economic backdrop was feeding through to support corporate earnings helped US

equities to produce significant gains.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Equities (continued)

US equities (continued)

With US economic data remaining positive in late 2013, albeit with some indicators suggesting that growth was moderating slightly from earlier

high levels, the Fed announced in December 2013 that QE tapering would begin in January 2014. Assuming that the economy continued to

recover in line with forecasts, monthly asset repurchases would be reduced by $10 billion/month. In January 2014, a selloff in emerging

markets – unsettled by concerns over a reversal of previous QE related capital inflows – subsequently weighed to some extent on developed

markets, while the softer tone of US economic data also raised questions over the sustainability of the recovery. Nevertheless, having made

only modest progress late in the first quarter amid mixed earnings announcements from US companies, US equities rose strongly during the

second quarter. Despite confirmation that the economy suffered a surprise contraction during the first quarter, growing conviction that the

setback was largely weather related lifted investors’ confidence in the outlook for US corporate earnings. Against the backdrop of improving

signs from the housing market and positive trends in the labour market, data would subsequently show that economic activity rebounded

strongly from the shock (2.10%) first quarter contraction, with growth of 4.00% on an annualised basis during the second quarter. Following a

brief dip in line with their global peers on the loss of the Malaysia Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine in late July, confidence in the US

economic environment helped US equities to reach new all-time highs in August and September. Although volatility picked up in October as

global equities briefly dipped amid deepening concerns over conflict in the Middle East, disappointing Chinese economic data and speculation

that the robust nature of the US recovery could warrant an earlier than expected rise in interest rates, US equities rallied sharply over the final

six weeks of the review year. Growing confidence that the recovery would continue following the end of QE in October, coupled with optimism

that Eurozone policymakers would follow the lead of their Japanese peers with significant new stimulus measures, helped US equities to rally

to new all-time highs in late November. Although sliding oil prices weighed on the energy sector, the broader market rallied strongly on

optimism that lower energy related outgoings would act as a further stimulus to economic activity.

During the year sterling’s gains relative to the euro helped iShares S&P 500 GBP Hedged UCITS ETF to marginally outperform iShares S&P 500

EUR Hedged UCITS ETF.

Japanese equities

This market background summary covers iShares MSCI Japan EUR Hedged UCITS ETF and iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF.

Despite performing well in local terms, the weakness of the yen saw Japanese equities deliver disappointing returns during the Company’s

review year, sharply underperforming their overseas counterparts, both developed and developing, for unhedged overseas investors. Despite

policymakers’ determination to stimulate economic activity with massive amounts of QE, some concerns arose that the stimulus packages were

gradually having less effect on the underlying economy, with April’s sales tax increase also impacting on spending patterns.

Japanese equities began the review year on a relatively soft note, weighed by signs that economic activity was gradually slowing towards the

end of 2013. Amid concerns that the outlook for exports to China was also deteriorating, Japanese equities fell sharply during the first quarter

of 2014 on fears that the Fed’s decision to taper QE could impact on wider demand for Japanese exports across emerging markets.

Nevertheless, having bottomed out early in the second quarter, more encouraging signs from the domestic jobs market and optimism over the

outlook for exports to developed economies, notably the US, added weight to the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) forecast that economic growth should

recover. This view was subsequently vindicated by news that growth picked up sharply from 0.10% in Q4 2013 to 1.50% in Q1 2014, albeit that

the figures were distorted by consumers bringing forward spending ahead of the rise in consumption tax in April. Amid signs that Japan was

winning the battle against deflation, as inflation rose to 23 year highs of 3.40%, Japanese equities ended the second quarter on a firm note,

making good some of their earlier underperformance relative to their overseas peers.

Having briefly dipped, alongside their international counterparts following the loss of the Malaysian passenger jet over Ukraine in late July,

Japanese equities made modest gains during the third quarter. Despite disappointment on news that the Japanese economy contracted by

(1.80%) during the second quarter, reflecting the distorted timing of consumer and business spending due to April’s sales tax increase,

encouraging news from the Japanese labour market and optimism over the export prospects as the US economy grew strongly helped Japanese

equities to make further gains into September.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Equities (continued)

Japanese equities (continued)

Although global equities slipped in early October amid fresh geopolitical worries and fears over the potential for an earlier than expected US

interest rate rise, the surprise news of a large extension of the BoJ’s stimulus package underpinned Japanese stocks during the final six weeks

of the Company’s review year. Highlighting concerns that domestic demand remained subdued and the risk that sliding oil prices could rekindle

deflationary pressures, the BoJ announced the expansion of its asset repurchase programme, from ¥60-70 trillion to ¥80 trillion a year.

With sentiment heavily reliant on the level of ongoing policymaker support for the economy, in dollar terms, Japanese equities significantly

underperformed their developed market peers, as the yen weakened by approximately 15% against the US currency during the review year.

iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF outperformed iShares MSCI Japan EUR Hedged UCITS ETF as sterling marginally outperformed the

single currency during the year.

Emerging markets

This market background summary covers iShares Emerging Markets Dividend UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Growth

UCITS ETF and iShares MSCI Poland UCITS ETF.

Emerging markets posted disappointing returns over the Company’s review year, reflecting the reduction in many investors’ appetite for

markets regarded as higher risk against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and the prospect of slower than expected Chinese

economic growth. Concerns over the growing impact of sanctions and the falling oil price on the Russian economy also weighed on sentiment.

Emerging market equities suffered steep falls around the turn of the calendar year as the Fed’s QE tapering announcement prompted concerns

over the potential reversal of QE related inflows that had previously helped emerging markets to outperform. Signs that the recovery in China’s

economic growth that many investors had anticipated was failing to materialise was a further cause for concern, with indications of a slowdown

in industrial production and retail activity. Russian equities performed poorly, weighed by unease over the impact of sanctions as the Ukraine

crisis deepened while other European emerging markets also struggled on concerns over the export prospects to many sluggish Eurozone

economies. Meanwhile, with the Chinese economy continuing to largely disappoint, resource rich Latin American markets also delivered poor

returns amid downgrades to forecasts for exports to Far Eastern countries. Nevertheless, emerging market equities fared relatively well during

the second quarter as some earlier economic concerns receded. Although the Ukraine situation remained tense, there was some relief that

there had been no significant escalation of hostilities, while a modest recovery in Chinese industrial production raised hopes that economic

growth could yet prove more resilient than had been forecast. Optimism over the potential for a recovery in Chinese demand for commodities

particularly benefitted Latin American equities.

Following a brief setback in late July on the loss of the Malaysian passenger aircraft over Ukraine, broadly positive global economic news flow

underpinned investors’ appetite for risk, helping emerging markets to make further progress into mid-September. However, sentiment took a

marked turn for the worse in early October, with disappointing Chinese economic data and worries over the effect of coalition military

intervention in the Middle East, with emerging markets sharply underperforming their developed peers. Although more reassuring US economic

data and the surprise extension of Japan’s economic stimulus programme subsequently helped developed markets to recover, emerging

markets failed to rally alongside their global peers during the final weeks of the review year, reflecting investors’ reluctance to add exposure to

higher risk areas as global uncertainties persisted.

Income orientated emerging market equities underperformed wider emerging markets over the review year, impacted by the formers’ relatively

high exposure to dividend paying companies in the underperforming Brazilian market and relatively low exposure to outperforming Indian

equities which benefitted from hopes of market friendly reform from the new government.

Emerging markets (continued)

Following its launch in early June, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Growth UCITS ETF, which offers exposure to large and mid-cap

consumer oriented stocks that derive high or growing revenues from emerging markets, performed ahead of wider emerging market equity

indices. Performance benefitted from the strong relative returns from several major constituents of the underlying index, including China

Mobile and Apple. Meanwhile, having performed largely in line with wider emerging markets during the first half of the review year, the Polish

market subsequently underperformed wider EM markets by a wide margin. Polish equities struggled in tandem with other Eastern European

markets amid concern over the impact of more stringent sanctions on Russia.

ETF.

European government bonds generated very strong returns over the Company’s review year, outperforming US Treasury bonds, and, to a lesser

extent, UK gilts. The robust returns delivered by the main Eurozone bond markets were underpinned by the region’s sluggish growth outlook, the

marked fall in inflation and investors’ confidence that the ECB was set to embark on a large scale asset repurchase programme.

European sovereign debt markets began the review year on a relatively soft note. Despite ongoing evidence that the region’s economic recovery

remained very subdued, speculation that more positive US economic data would herald the tapering of QE was subsequently vindicated by

December’s announcement that the US bond repurchases programme would be progressively withdrawn from January. However, European

bond markets rallied strongly in February and March, underpinned by rising concerns that, following a lengthy period of poor economic

performance, deflationary risks had risen. Data would subsequently show that inflation fell to 0.50% in February, compared to 1.50% as

recently as June 2014. Although senior ECB officials sought to downplay the risk of a deflationary spiral, with economic activity showing only

sporadic signs of any upturn, speculation grew of further support measures from the ECB. Having cut interest rates by 0.25% in June 2014, the

ECB implemented a similar cut in September 2014, taking the benchmark borrowing rate to euro era lows of just 0.05%, while also setting a

negative deposit rate to encourage banks to lend rather than keep funds on deposit at the central bank. Nevertheless, with inflation continuing

to fall, slipping to just 0.30% in September, growth remaining generally weak, with Italy returning to recession, and investors seeking safe

havens amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, European government debt performed strongly towards the end of the review year. Speculation rose

that a support package announced by the ECB, a bond repurchase package aimed at private securities, such as asset backed and covered

bonds, could yet develop into a full QE programme, including government bond purchases, should resistance, notably from Germany, be

overcome.

Over the review year long-dated bonds outperformed their shorter-dated peers, reflecting longer-dated bonds’ greater exposure to expectations

that interest rates will remain ‘lower for longer’, and the decline in inflation. In country terms, debt issued by ‘core’ AAA rated Eurozone

countries, such as Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, delivered solid returns. Meanwhile, debt issued by countries previously seen as

entailing higher risk produced higher returns. Mid-rated countries, such as Belgium, Austria and France, the latter has been regarded as ‘core’

to the single currency project but has struggled to implement reforms and meet deficit targets, outperformed debt issued by core countries.

However, despite some concerns over political risks in Greece as polls showed significant support for anti-euro parties ahead of December

elections, lower-rated ‘peripheral’ debt issued by Spain and Italy delivered stronger returns, bolstered by the perceived reduction in systemic

risks to the single currency project and the growing perception that the ECB could embark on large scale sovereign bond purchases through QE.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Fixed income (continued)

Corporate Bonds

This market background summary covers iShares $ Emerging Markets Corporate Bond UCITS ETF and iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest

Rate Hedged UCITS ETF.

Having lost ground early in the Company’s review year on concerns over the impact of the Fed’s QE tapering announcement and generally

disappointing economic data from the Eurozone and China, credit markets subsequently recovered to end the twelve month period with modest

gains. Despite the positive returns generated by credit during the year, the underperformance relative to government bonds largely reflected the

increased level of caution among many investors as geopolitical uncertainties deepened.

Having suffered steep losses around the turn of the calendar year, corporate bond prices generally rallied steadily from mid-January, helped by

tentative signs that global economic activity could surprise positively following earlier downgrades underpinned investors’ appetite for risk

based assets, such as corporate bonds. Despite the lack of any significant political progress towards a negotiated solution to the Ukraine crisis,

relief that the annexation of Crimea had not sparked a significant broadening of the conflict also helped to underpin credit markets.

Nevertheless, with the Eurozone economic backdrop remaining disappointing and deflationary risks rising, the strong performance of European

government bonds was generally very supportive of European credit valuations into mid-2014, largely offsetting a brief setback in late July

following the loss of the Malaysian passenger jet.

Although the prospect of additional central bank support continued to underpin sentiment towards euro denominated bonds towards the end of

the review year, increasing levels of risk aversion as geopolitical tensions rose limited investors’ appetite for emerging market credit.

US dollar denominated emerging market credit’s gains over the Company’s review year were largely driven by strong returns during the first half

of the period. Over the year as a whole dollar based credit significantly outperformed higher risk dollar denominated high yield bonds but

marginally underperformed dollar sovereign and quasi-sovereign emerging markets bonds.

iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF delivered modest positive returns over the Company’s review year. Although

credit spreads narrowed in early 2014, as investors drew reassurance that central bank support would underpin the trading environment and

therefore boost corporate borrowers’ ability to service their debt burdens, investors’ risk appetite subsequently waned as global uncertainties

rose. Longer-dated bonds significantly outperformed their shorter-dated peers while financials marginally underperformed relative to non-

financial corporate debt.

Agriculture

This market background summary covers iShares Agribusiness UCITS ETF.

Investing in the largest publicly traded companies involved in agribusiness from around the world, the Fund ended the Company’s review year

with positive returns, albeit underperforming relative to wider global equities. Having performed broadly in line with global equity indices for the

bulk of the review year, sentiment towards agri-business equities deteriorated in line with the weakness in soft commodity prices during the

final three months of the Company’s review year.

iShares Agribusiness UCITS ETF shares lost ground early in the review year as QE related uncertainties weighed heavily on emerging markets,

reflecting the importance of developing economies for companies such as crop chemical producer Syngenta. In particular, concerns over the

decline in emerging market currencies relative to the dollar weighed on sentiment towards agribusiness companies. Although China’s rejection

of US corn shipments containing genetically modified corn also weighed on sentiment towards seed producers during the first half of the review

year, optimism that the policy could be reconsidered and a rally in emerging market currencies helped agribusiness valuations to recover.

MARKET REVIEW (continued)

Fixed income (continued)

Agriculture (continued)

Sentiment also benefitted from more encouraging sector news during the third quarter, with crop processing index heavyweight Archer Daniels

Midland performing strongly. However, agribusiness equities were hit by a rise in geopolitical uncertainties in October amid a return of emerging

market concerns. The underperformance of stocks such as seed supply giant Monsanto weighed on the agribusiness sector even as global

equities recovered in late October and November amid concerns over the effects on earnings of renewed emerging market currency weakness

against the dollar.

Energy

This market background summary covers iShares Oil & Gas Exploration & Production UCITS ETF.

Investing in the largest companies involved in the production of oil & gas from around the world, the Fund fell sharply in value during the

Company’s review year, reflecting a marked deterioration in sentiment as crude oil prices plummeted during the second half of 2014.

Exploration and production companies’ valuations weakened early in the Company’s review year on concerns that the cooling Chinese economy

would impact on demand. Although the harsh North American post-Christmas weather underpinned near term domestic demand for oil & gas,

signs that that US economy was set to fail to match growth forecasts in the first quarter weighed to some extent on sector returns.

Nevertheless, energy producers’ valuations recovered strongly in the second quarter, bolstered by relatively firm levels of demand from

emerging markets and evidence that the US economy was staging a robust recovery from the surprise first quarter contraction. Having peaked

in June on good results from companies such as independent US oil & gas producer ConocoPhillips, which reported rising US shale production,

and relief that supplies from countries such as Iraq and Libya had held up relatively well despite rising levels of conflict, oil & gas producers

valuations fell sharply as oil prices slipped during the third quarter. Despite ongoing strength in the US economy and optimism that further

support from policymakers in the Eurozone and Japan would underpin global energy demand, robust levels of supply from US shale production

and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC’s) decision not to impose production cuts in the face of weaker prices

triggered a deeper slump in crude oil prices during the final weeks of the Company’s review year. This in turn weighed heavily on producers’

valuations.

Gold

This market background summary covers iShares Gold Producers UCITS ETF.

Investing in major companies involved in the exploration and production of gold and related products, the Fund produced negative returns

during the Company’s review year, underperforming both physical gold and wider global stock markets.

Gold producers’ share prices rallied early in the review year. Despite many investors’ view that the Fed’s decision to taper QE from January could

reduce medium-term global inflationary risks, thereby undermining the attraction of gold given the precious metal’s status as a traditional anti-

inflation hedge, uncertainties related to volatility in emerging markets highlighted gold’s status as a ‘store of value’. Some encouraging sector

developments, such as news that Barrick Gold had made by progress towards bringing its massive Pascua-Lama mine in Chile on stream

following earlier disagreements with local communities, supported producers’ valuations. Although ongoing tensions in Ukraine partly offset

declining concerns over the outlook for growth in emerging markets in mid-2014, gold prices suffered a bout of weakness in August and

September as robust US economic data releases prompted renewed strength in the dollar. Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties amid

coalition intervention aimed at stemming conflict in Iraq and Syria, speculation that the strength of the US economic recovery could warrant a

rise in US interest rates by mid-2015 produced further dollar strength. Against the backdrop of falling physical gold prices, disappointing

results from companies such as Goldcorp, which reported lower-than-expected levels of 2014 production, weighed heavily on gold producers’

valuations late in the Company’s review year.

Chairman’s Statement

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 2 1 ]

The Board of iShares V plc (the “Company”) considers corporate governance matters and adherence to codes of best practice to be of the

utmost importance. As Chairman of the Board, I believe that it has operated effectively throughout the year and that its role and its composition

are well defined, appropriate and support the long-term development of the Company.

Overview of the Company

The Company is incorporated in Ireland as a public limited company pursuant to the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 (the “Companies Acts”) and

the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS

Regulations”) and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

The Company is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”). The Funds of the Company pursue strategies of either tracking or replicating the performance

of a benchmark index in order to deliver the objectives of each fund.

The Company’s sole objective is the collective investment in transferable securities and by its nature it operates a delegated model under which

the Board exercises overall central management and control over its activities. The management and administration is delegated to BlackRock

Asset Management Ireland Limited (the “Manager”) which, in turn has appointed BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited (the “Investment Manager”)

as the Investment Manager. The Manager has delegated the administration of the Company and its funds to State Street Fund Services (Ireland)

Limited (the “Administrator”) including the calculation of the daily net asset value, and the preparation of the accounts of the Company subject

to the overall supervision of the Directors and the Manager, while Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited has been appointed

registrar of the Company. The Company has appointed State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Custodian”) as Custodian of the

assets with responsibility for the safe keeping of such assets, pursuant to the UCITS Regulations. As part of its fiduciary responsibility to the

Company the Custodian provides a certain level of ongoing oversight of the Company as well as reporting on the conduct of the Company in each

annual accounting period as set out in the Statement of the Custodian’s Responsibilities.

In accordance with Guidance Note 4/07 on the Organisation of Management Companies issued by the Central Bank of Ireland the Board of the

Manager has identified BlackRock personnel who monitor and control the management functions as outlined therein. These BlackRock personnel

report to the Board of the Manager and the Company on a regular basis. The management functions delegated by the Manager are subject to

appropriate reporting and ratification procedures, which are designed to ensure that the appropriate reports are received in a timely fashion such

that the Manager and the Board can discharge their duties, as part of the governance framework put in place by the Manager and the Company. The

Board reviews risk reporting on a regular basis together with an annual review of internal controls and risk management from the Manager.

The Board

The Board comprises five Directors, two of whom are independent. The members of the Board were chosen for their range of skills and

experience - Paul McGowan has extensive experience in the area of tax, financial services and corporate governance, Karen Prooth has over

twenty years’ experience in the asset management industry, Cora O’Donohoe has considerable experience in the area of portfolio management,

Barry O’Dwyer has extensive knowledge and experience in corporate governance and I have over 25 years’ experience in the banking and

finance, fund management and securities processing industries.

Matters relating to the Company during the year

There were 23 Funds in operation at 30 November 2014. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Consumer Growth UCITS ETF launched on 6 June

2014. On 12 June 2014, the Board of Directors resolved to merge iShares MSCI USA UCITS ETF with iShares MSCI USA - B UCITS ETF, a Fund of

iShares VII Plc effective 18 August 2014. The merger was approved at the EGM on 14 July 2014. The financial statements of this Fund have been

prepared on a termination basis.

Effective 6 October 2014, the Investment Manager changed the methodology used to calculate global exposure from VaR to the commitment

approach. The Investment Manager has concluded that the commitment approach is a more suitable methodology for calculating global

exposure based on the Funds’ investment strategies and risk profiles other than for those Funds outlined on page 5.

During the year there was a change in the securities lending income split between the Funds and the securities lending agent. For further

details please refer to the Background section.

It is the opinion of the Board that all funds have performed in line with their objectives and that any tracking differences have been explained in

the Investment Manager’s report. Additional information on the funds’ performance can be found in the Investment Management Report.

Corporate Governance Statement

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 2 3 ]

Introduction

The Board of the Company (an umbrella open-ended investment company with variable capital and having segregated liability between its funds (an

“Investment Company”), is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and is accountable to shareholders for the

governance of the Company’s affairs. The Company is subject to the United Kingdom Listing Authority Listing Rules (the “UKLA Listing Rules”) as

they apply to overseas open-ended investment funds under Chapter 16 of the UKLA Listing Rules, and applicable chapters of the Financial Conduct

Authority (“FCA”) Disclosure and Transparency Rules; available at http://www.fca.org.uk (the “DTR Rules”). The Company is subject to the

governance standards set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) issued by the Financial Reporting Council in September 2012,

which is applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2012. The Company is also subject to corporate governance practices

imposed by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) in their UCITS Notices and Guidance Notes which can be obtained from the Central

Bank’s website at http://www.centralbank.ie/regulation/industry-sectors/funds/ucits/Pages/default.aspx and are available for inspection at the

registered office of the Company.

The Board has considered the principles and recommendations of the Code and has put in place a framework for corporate governance which it

believes both adheres to best practice and is appropriate for the Company, given the nature of its structure as an Investment Company.

The Code is published by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and is available to download from http://www.frc.org.uk. The Company has also

voluntarily adopted the Irish Funds Industry Association Corporate Governance Code for Collective Investment Schemes and Management

Companies (Dec 2011) (the “IFIA Code”) and, in addition, refers to this Code for the period under review. The IFIA Code can be obtained from the

IFIA website at http://www.irishfunds.ie/media-centre/news-archive/67-corporate-governance-code-and-faqs/.

The sole objective of the Company is the collective investment in transferable securities and/or other liquid financial assets referred to in

Regulation 68 of the UCITS Regulations of capital raised from the public and which operates on the principle of risk spreading. The Articles of

Association of the Company provide that the Company may offer separate classes of shares, each representing interests in a fund comprising a

distinct portfolio of investments. The shares of each fund are issued on different terms and conditions to those of the other funds. The specific

investment objectives and policies of each fund are formulated by the Directors at the time of the creation of the Fund and any change to a

fund’s investment objective and/or material change to the investment policy of a fund is subject to the prior consent of Shareholders evidenced

by either a majority vote at a meeting of Shareholders of a fund or by written consent of all the Shareholders. The Funds of the Company are

exchange traded funds and pursue strategies of either tracking or replicating the performance of a benchmark index in order to deliver the

objectives of each fund.

This statement summarises the corporate governance structure and processes in place for the Company for the period under review.

Compliance

The Board has made the appropriate disclosures in this report to ensure the Company meets its continuing obligations pursuant to the UKLA

Listing Rules and the DTR Rules. It should be noted that as an Investment Company all of the Company’s day-to-day management and

administration is delegated to BlackRock group companies such as the Manager and the Investment Manager and other third party service

providers. The Company has no employees and the Directors are all non-executive. The Board recognises that the shareholders of the Company

invest into a regulated Investment Company and considers that the governance structure and operational processes in place for the Company

are suitable for an Investment Company.

The Board considers that the Company has complied with the relevant provisions contained within the Code throughout this accounting period

except, as explained below, where departure from the Code is considered appropriate given the Company’s position as an Investment Company.

This Corporate Governance Statement, together with the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, describes how the main principles of the

Code are applied to the Company.

The Code includes provisions relating to:

(i) the appointment and role of the Chief Executive;

(ii) executive Directors’ remuneration;

(iii) the need for an internal audit function; and

(iv) the need to establish a Remuneration Committee.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

[ 2 4 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

Compliance (continued)

Due to the nature of its structure as an Investment Company, the Board does not consider these provisions appropriate to the Company.

Therefore the Company was not compliant with these provisions during and post the period under review.

The Code also includes provisions for the re-election of Directors by shareholders with which the Company was not in compliance during the

period under review. The Board is currently considering a re-election policy in line with the Code.

The Board considers that the Company has been in full compliance with the IFIA Code during the period under review.

Board Composition

The Board currently consists of five non-executive Directors, two of whom are independent. The Board is committed to maintaining an

appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge amongst its members.

In accordance with the Code, the Board has carried out an assessment based on the independence requirements set out therein and has

determined that, in its judgement the Chairman, Mr Paul McNaughton, and Mr Paul McGowan are independent within the meaning of those

requirements. They are independent of the Manager, the Investment Manager and other third party service providers such as the Administrator

and Custodian. The Board has also considered and is satisfied that the presence of two non-executive independent Directors (including the

Chairman) is an appropriate balance for the Board. The Board has appointed Mr Paul McGowan as the Senior Independent Director.

The Directors’ biographies, collectively demonstrate a breadth of investment knowledge, business and financial skills which enables them to

provide effective strategic leadership, oversight and proper governance of the Company.

Delegation of responsibilities

The Directors of the Company have delegated the following areas of responsibility:

Management and Administration

The Directors of the Company have delegated the investment management, distribution and administration of the Company and its Funds to the

Manager. The Manager has delegated the management of the investment portfolio and distribution of the Company's shares to the Investment

Manager. The Investment Manager operates under guidelines determined by the Company and as detailed in the Company’s prospectus and the

various supplementary prospectuses relating to the Company’s Funds. The Investment Manager has direct responsibility for the decisions

relating to the day-to-day running of the Company’s Funds and is accountable to the Board of the Manager and the Company for the investment

performance of the Funds.

The Company has appointed State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited as the custodian of its assets, which has responsibility for safe-

keeping of such assets, pursuant to the UCITS Regulations.

The Manager has delegated the administration of the Company and its funds to the Administrator including the calculation of the daily net

asset value, and the preparation of the accounts of the Company subject to the overall supervision of the Board and the Manager.

certain functions to these committees. Please see the “Committees of the Board” section in this Corporate Governance Statement for further

Board’s Responsibilities

The Board meets monthly and also on an ad hoc basis as required. All Directors are expected to attend each meeting and the attendance at

board and committee meetings during the period is set out below. Directors are provided with relevant papers in advance of each meeting. In

addition, electronic copies of meeting papers and other relevant information are available to Directors. If a Director is unable to attend a

meeting, they will still receive the supporting papers. During the period, ad hoc board meetings were arranged at short notice and it was not

always possible for all Directors to attend.

The Board reserves to itself decisions relating to the determination of investment policy and objectives, any change in investment strategy, the

appointment and removal of the Company Secretary and entering into any material contracts. The Board also approves the prospectus,

circulars to shareholders, listing particulars and other relevant legal documentation. A formal schedule of matters specifically reserved for

decision by the Board is maintained.

Any Director who resigns his/her position is obliged to confirm to the Board and the Central Bank that the resignation is not connected with any

issues with or claims against the Company. Furthermore, any Director who has concerns about the running of the Company or a proposed

course of action may provide a written statement to the Chairman outlining his/her concerns for circulation to the Board or alternatively may

have his/her concerns formally recorded in the minutes of a board meeting. There were no resignations during the period under review.

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 the Companies Acts and

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

also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for taking reasonable steps in the prevention and detection of fraud and other

irregularities.

The Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, external counsel and the resources of the Investment Manager

should they be needed. Where necessary, in the furtherance of their duties, the Board and individual Directors may seek independent

professional advice at the expense of the Manager.

Directors’ induction and training

Prior to his/her appointment, each new Director receives a full and formal tailored induction incorporating relevant information regarding the

Company and his/her duties and responsibilities as a Director. In addition, a new Director is required to spend some time with representatives

of the Investment Manager so that the new Director will become familiar with the various processes which the Investment Manager considers

necessary for the performance of his/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 the Investment Manager and which are relevant to the Company. The Directors also receive

regular briefings from, amongst others, PricewaterhouseCoopers Ireland (the “External Auditors”), investment strategists, custodians and legal

advisors regarding any proposed product developments or changes in laws or regulations that could affect the Company. 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 training needs of the

Directors are evaluated as part of the annual performance evaluation of the Board. Further information in respect of performance evaluation is

provided below.

Performance Evaluation

The Board formally reviews its performance on an annual basis and an appraisal system has been implemented for the Board, its supporting

Committees and the individual Directors, including the Chairman. This evaluation process assists in identifying individual Directors training and

development needs. The Board is satisfied with the robustness of the appraisal system and considers the current review and evaluation

process adequate. The Board evaluation for 2014 was completed on 26 November 2014.

Committees of the Board

Nominations Committee

The Board has established a Nominations Committee comprising a majority of independent Directors. The Nominations Committee comprises

of Mr Paul McNaughton (Chairman), Mr Paul McGowan and Mr Barry O’Dwyer. The key objective of the Nominations Committee is to ensure the

Board comprises individuals with the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge appropriate to the Company to

ensure that it is effective in discharging its responsibilities and oversight of all matters relating to corporate governance.

No Director has exceeded the term of six years tenure on the Board of the Company during the period under review.

The terms of reference of the Nominations Committee are available upon request.

As there were no new appointments to the Board the Nominations Committee did not meet during the period under review. The Board has,

subject to the approval of the Central Bank, the final decision on the appointment of new Directors.

The Articles of Association provide that retiring Directors are eligible for re-appointment by the other Directors every three years. The Board is

currently reviewing its policy on director re-election.

Board Diversity

The Nominations Committee, together with the Board, acknowledges the importance of diversity to enhance its operation. During the selection

process the Board and Nominations Committee are committed to selecting those with diversity of business skills, experience and gender and

candidates for appointment are considered based on these attributes. They will ensure that all selection decisions are based on merit and that

recruitment is fair and non-discriminatory. The Board has not set specific targets in respect of gender diversity but acknowledges its

importance and currently has a female representation of 40%.

Audit Committee

The Company has established an Audit Committee which reports directly to the Board and meets regularly throughout the year in order to

discharge its duties. Further information on how the Audit Committee carried out its duties during the period under review is contained in the

responsibilities effectively. Furthermore, Paul McGowan is a qualified accountant with relevant experience in financial matters as they pertain

to investment companies.

Internal Control and Risk Management

The Board 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. Certain of these responsibilities have been delegated to the Audit Committee as outlined in the Audit Committee

report. The system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Company’s business objectives and can only

provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss and relies on the operating controls established by the

service providers. The Board is also responsible for overseeing the management of the most significant risks through the regular review of risk

exposures and related key controls.

The Board reviews the Company’s principal risks and the control processes over the risks identified. The control processes cover financial,

operational, compliance and risk management, and are embedded in the operations of the Manager, the Investment Manager and other third

party service providers including the Administrator and the Custodian. 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.

The Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control and risk management systems of the Company in relation

to the financial reporting process. The Company has procedures in place to ensure all relevant accounting records are properly maintained and

are readily available, including production of annual and half-yearly financial statements. These procedures include appointing the

Administrator to maintain the accounting records of the Company independently of the Investment Manager and the Custodian. The annual and

half-yearly financial statements of the Company are required to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and filed with the Central

Bank and the London Stock Exchange. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in

Ireland, the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities)

Regulations 2011 (as amended).The accounting information given in the annual report is required to be audited. The External Auditor’s report,

including any qualifications, is reproduced in full in the annual report of the Company.

Monitoring and review activities

There are procedures designed for monitoring the system of internal control and risk management and 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.

During the financial year under review the Custodian reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Board receives a report from the Custodian on the internal controls of the custodial operations of the Company. The Manager receives a

report from the Administrator on the internal controls of the administrative operations of the Company and the Administrator reports to the

Board on an annual basis.

Review of effectiveness

The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems (including financial, operational and compliance

controls) in accordance with the Code for the year under review and up to the date of approval of the financial statements. The Board is not

aware of any significant failings or weaknesses in internal control arising during this review. Had there been any such failings or weaknesses,

the Board confirms that necessary action would have been taken to remedy them.

Going Concern

The going concern statement is set out in the Directors’ Report.

Remuneration

The Company is an Investment Company and has no employees or executive Directors. The Board believes that the principles of Section D of the

Code relating to remuneration do not apply to the Company, except as outlined below, as the Company has no executive Directors. No Director

past or present has any entitlement to pensions, and the Company has not awarded any share options or long-term performance incentives to

any of them. No element of Directors’ remuneration is performance-related.

iSHARES V PLC

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

[ 2 8 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

Remuneration (continued)

Those Directors who are also employees of the BlackRock group are not entitled to receive a Director’s fee. All other Directors have fees paid to

them which are set out in service contracts with the Investment Manager. 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 determined by the Board and is set out in the prospectus of the Company.

The terms of the aforementioned service contracts are for one year and include an assessment of the time commitment expected of each

Director. The Directors also have a continuing obligation to ensure they have sufficient time to discharge their duties. The detail of each

Director’s, including the Chairman’s, other appointments and commitments are made available to the Board for inspection and all new

appointments or significant commitments require the prior approval of the Investment Manager. The Directors, who are employees of the

BlackRock group, have executed letters of appointment which include an assessment of the time commitment expected. Extracts of the service

contracts as they relate to the Company and letters of appointment are available for inspection on request and at each AGM.

Communication with Shareholders

The Company is an Investment Company and the shareholders invest in its range of funds in order to, inter alia, gain exposure to the expertise of

the Investment Manager and its investment strategies. Given the nature of the Company, it is not necessary or desirable for the Chairman or any

of the other Directors to discuss investment strategy with shareholders. Furthermore, the Manager has appointed the Investment Manager as

distributor and it is this entity which is tasked with actively managing the relationship between the Company and its shareholders.

The Board reviews monthly reports on shareholder communications and in addition, the Board reviews reports from the Manager’s compliance

function which include updates on shareholder complaints.

The Board is responsible for convening the annual general meeting (the “AGM”) and all other general meetings of the Company. All shareholders

have the opportunity to attend and vote at general meetings. Notice of general meetings is issued in accordance with the Companies Acts and

the Articles of Association of the Company and notice of the annual general meeting is sent out at least 21 clear days in advance of the meeting

and any item not of an entirely routine nature is explained in a covering circular. All substantive matters put before a general meeting are dealt

with by way of separate resolution. Proxy voting figures are noted by the chairman of the general meeting and the results of each general

meeting, including the number of votes withheld, will be announced and made available on the iShares website shortly after the meeting.

General meetings are managed and run by the Company Secretary. Strategic issues and all operational matters of a material nature are

determined by the Board. If the shareholders wish to engage on matters relating to the management of the Company then invariably they will

wish to discuss these matters or meet with the Investment Manager.

However, the Board will accept requests to make individual Directors available to shareholders. One of the independent Directors is always

available to attend general meetings. The Chairman of the Audit and Nominations Committees will be available to attend general meetings and

to answer questions, if required, while the Senior Independent Director will be also available to liaise with shareholders, where required.

Every holder of participating shares present in person or by proxy who votes on a show of hands is entitled to one vote. On a poll, every holder of

participating shares present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote in respect of each share held by him. The poll may be demanded by the

chairman of a general meeting or at least five members present in person or by proxy or by any holder or holders of shares present in person or

by proxy representing at least one tenth of the shares in issue having the right to vote at such meeting.

Audit Committee Report

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 2 9 ]

The Company is a collective investment scheme and by its nature it operates a delegated model under which the Board exercises overall central

management and control over its activities. The management and administration is delegated to BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited

(the “Manager”) which, in turn has appointed BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) as the Investment Manager and

Distributor. The Manager has delegated the administration of the Company and its funds to State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (the

“Administrator”) including the calculation of the daily net asset value, and the preparation of the accounts of the Company subject to the overall

supervision of the Directors and the Manager, while Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited has been appointed registrar of the

Company. The Company has appointed State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Custodian”) as Custodian of the assets which has

responsibility for the safe keeping of such assets, pursuant to the UCITS Regulations and as part of its fiduciary responsibility to the Company

the Custodian provides a certain level of ongoing oversight of the Company as well as reporting on the conduct of the Company in each annual

accounting period as set out in the Statement of the Custodian’s Responsibilities.

In accordance with Guidance Note 4/07 on the Organisation of Management Companies issued by the Central Bank of Ireland the Board of the

Manager has identified BlackRock personnel who monitor and control the management functions as outlined therein. These BlackRock

personnel report to the Board of the Manager and the Company on a regular basis. The management functions delegated by the Directors are

subject to appropriate reporting and ratification procedures, which are designed to ensure that the appropriate reports are received in a timely

fashion such that the Board can discharge its duties, as part of the governance framework put in place by the Company. The Board reviews risk

reporting on a regular basis together with an annual review of internal controls and risk management from the Manager.

The Board established an Audit Committee whose roles and responsibilities are detailed below. The Audit Committee comprises of Paul

McGowan (Chairman) and Paul McNaughton.

Roles and Responsibilities

The main responsibilities of the Audit Committee include considering and recommending to the Board for approval the contents of the interim

and annual financial statements, and providing an opinion as to whether the annual financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced

and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s performance, business model and

strategy. The Audit Committee also reviews related information presented within the financial statements, including statements concerning

internal controls and risk management from its delegates. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for approving the audit fees of the

External Auditor, conducting a review of the External Auditors report on the annual financial statements and reviewing and forming an opinion

on the effectiveness of the external audit process and audit quality. Other duties include reviewing the appropriateness of the Company’s

accounting policies, reviewing the requirement for an internal audit function and reviewing the Investment Managers internal audit activities.

There are formal terms of reference in place for the Audit Committee. The terms of reference of the Audit Committee are available to

shareholders on request.

The Audit Committee meets at least three times a year and has met nine times during the reporting period. These additional meetings were to

consider various items including updates in the regulatory environment as they relate to the financial statements of the Company, updates on

the Company’s accounting policies and progress reports on the audit. The significant issues considered by the Audit Committee in relation to

the financial statements are discussed overleaf/below.

Financial Statements

The Audit Committee reviewed the interim financial statements, annual financial statements and the audit findings presentation from the

External Auditors.

Significant issues considered in relation to the financial statements

During the year, the Audit Committee considered the following significant issues in relation to the financial statements.

1. Valuation

The Board has in place a hierarchical structure for the pricing of every asset class of the Company which details the primary, secondary and

tertiary pricing sources (the “Pricing Hierarchy”). The Administrator has been appointed for the purposes of valuing each asset class of the

Company.

[ 3 0 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

Roles and Responsibilities (continued)

Significant issues considered in relation to the financial statements (continued)

1. Valuation (continued)

The Administrator follows the Pricing Hierarchy in this regard. During the year under review, monthly reporting was provided by the Investment

Manager in which any exceptions to this process were identified and investigated and referred to the Audit Committee. No significant

exceptions to valuation of the assets were noted during the year under review.

2. Existence

In order to gain comfort on the existence of the assets of the Company, a daily reconciliation of all asset classes is performed by the

Administrator between their records and the separate records held by counterparties, the Custodian and the Investment Manager. During the

year under review, any material exceptions identified by these reconciliations were reported on a monthly basis by the Investment Manager and

quarterly by the Administrator and Custodian. The Custodian also provided a report in relation to the oversight of its global sub-custodian and

global custody network and any exceptional items regarding existence of assets of the Company were referred for consideration by the Audit

Committee. No significant exceptions to the existence of the assets were noted during the year under review.

3. Investment Performance

The Board received and considered regular presentations from the Investment Manager throughout the year which detailed the performance of

the Funds. In addition the Manager has appointed BlackRock personnel with responsibility for monitoring the investment policies, investment

strategies and performance of the Company. Reporting in respect of this is provided to the Board on a monthly basis. Any exceptional items

regarding investment performance were referred to the Audit Committee. The performance of the Funds together with the tracking difference

and tracking error is detailed in the Investment Manager’s report. No significant exceptions in respect of the investment performance of the

Funds were noted during the year under review.

4. Risk of Management Override

The Custodian and Administrator provided reports to the Board on an annual basis on the controls in place to minimise the risk of management

override. In addition to this, the Manager has reviewed the Statement on Service Organisational Control (the “SOC1”) prepared by the Custodian

and Administrator to further ensure that the relevant control procedures were in place to minimise the risk of management override. The SOC1

of the Investment Manager is also presented annually for review. Any exceptions noted were referred to the Audit Committee for further review.

No significant exceptions in respect of the risk of management override were noted during the year under review.

5. Financial Instruments and Risks

The Board receives quarterly risk summary reports from the Manager on the risks faced by the Company. In addition the Manager has appointed

BlackRock personnel, who monitor and report to the Manager on a monthly basis, and who have responsibility for risk management and

operational risks. Any exceptions noted were referred to the Audit Committee for further review. No significant exceptions in respect of financial

instruments and risks were noted during the year under review.

6. Developments in Corporate Governance

In September 2014 the FRC revised the Code. The new Code applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2014. The new

requirements are currently being evaluated by the Board and the Audit Committee and will be reflected in the financial statements for the year

end 30 November 2015.

7. Termination basis of accounting

The Board has considered and adopted a recommendation from the Manager to apply the termination basis of accounting in preparing the

financial statements of iShares MSCI USA UCITS ETF, which they resolved to merge during the period. In light of the performance, marketability

and risks of the remaining funds within the Company, the Board has determined it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the

financial statements of the Company.

Fair, Balanced and Understandable

The production and audit of the financial statements is a comprehensive process requiring input from a number of different contributors.

Following the adoption by the Company of the revised version of the Code, which applies to financial years commencing on or after 1 October

2012, the Board requested that the Audit Committee advise on whether it believes the financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced

and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s performance, business model and

strategy. In so doing the Audit Committee has given consideration to the following:

� The comprehensive reviews that are undertaken at different levels in the production process of the financial statements, by the Manager

and the Administrator;

� The comprehensive review also undertaken during the production process by the Investment Manager;

� The comprehensive review undertaken by the Audit Committee that aimed to ensure consistency, overall balance and appropriate

disclosure;

� The controls that are in place at the Investment Manager, the Administrator and Custodian, to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the

Company’s financial records and the security of the Company’s assets;

� The existence of satisfactory SOC1 control reports reviewing the effectiveness of the internal controls of the Investment Manager, the

Administrator and the Custodian; and

� The timely identification and resolution of any significant audit risks, process errors or control breaches that may have impacted the

Company’s Net Assets Value (“NAV”) and accounting records and how successfully any issues in respect of areas of accounting judgement

were identified and resolved.

As a result of the work performed, the Audit Committee has concluded that the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2014,

taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s

performance, business model and strategy. The Audit Committee has reported on these findings to the Board and recommended the approval of

the financial statements to the Board. The Board’s conclusions in this respect are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities.

External Auditor

To assess the effectiveness of the external audit, members of the Audit Committee work closely with the Investment Manager and the Manager

to obtain a good understanding of the progress and efficiency of the audit.

Feedback in relation to the audit process and also the efficiency of the Investment Manager and the Manager in performing their role is also

sought from relevant involved parties, notably the audit partner and audit team. The External Auditor is invited to attend the Audit Committee

meetings at which the annual financial statements are considered.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Ireland, in their capacity as statutory auditor, has acted as the External Auditor since the Company was incorporated

in December 2009 and the lead audit partner rotates every five years to assure independence. The Company is not a FTSE350 entity and thus

the requirement to put the external audit contract out to tender at least every ten years does not apply. To form a conclusion with regard to the

independence of the External Auditor, the Audit Committee considers whether their skills and experience make them a suitable supplier of non-

audit services and whether there are safeguards in place to ensure that there is no threat to their objectivity and independence in the conduct

of the audit resulting from the provision of such services. During the year the External Auditor performed other assurance services relating to

merger exchange ratios as required by Regulation 60 of Statutory Instrument (“S.I.”) No 352/2011. The audit and assurance services fees are

disclosed in note 5 of the financial statements of the Company.

On an annual basis, the External Auditor reviews the independence of its relationship with the Company and reports this to the Board. The Audit

Committee also receives information about policies and processes for maintaining independence and monitoring compliance with relevant

requirements from the Company’s External Auditors, including information on the rotation of audit partners and staff, details of any

relationships between the audit firm and its staff and the Company as well as an overall confirmation from the External Auditors’ of their

independence and objectivity.

Audit Committee Report (continued)

[ 3 2 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

External Auditor (continued)

As a result of its review, the Audit Committee has concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers Ireland, as External Auditor, is independent of the

Company. The Audit Committee has therefore recommended to the Board that a resolution be put to shareholders for the re-appointment of

the External Auditor, at the Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Audit Committee has conducted a review of independence of the External Auditor and has in place a pre-approval policy on the engagement

of the External Auditor to supply non-audit services.

Internal Audit

The Board considers it appropriate for the Company not to have its own internal audit function as all of the management and administration of

the Company is delegated to the Manager, Investment Manager, Administrator and Custodian. The internal audit report prepared by the

Investment Manager is provided to the Audit Committee on quarterly basis.

Whistleblowing Policy

The Investment Manager has a “Whistleblowing” policy under which its staff, in confidence, may raise concerns about possible improprieties in

matters of financial reporting or other matters insofar as they may affect the Company. As the Company does not have any employees, the

Board review this policy on an annual basis and have adopted this policy as the Company’s “Whistleblowing” policy.

Audit Committee Effectiveness

The performance of the Audit Committee is reviewed at least annually. The Audit Committee evaluation for 2014 was completed on 26 November

2014.

Report on the financial statements

Our opinion

In our opinion the financial statements:

� give a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland of the state of the Company’s

and Funds’ (as listed on pages 1 and 2) affairs as at

30 November 2014 and of their results for the year then ended;

and

� have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 and the

European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment

in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended).

This opinion is to be read in the context of what we say in the

remainder of this report.

What we have audited

The financial statements, which are prepared by the Directors of

iShares V plc, comprise:

� the Company and Funds’ Balance sheets as at 30 November

2014;

� the Company and Funds’ Income statements for the year then

ended;

� the Company and Funds’ Statements of changes in net assets

attributable to redeemable participating shareholders for the

year then ended;

� the Schedule of investments for each of the Funds as at

30 November 2014;

� the Financial instruments and risks which are presented

separately rather than as part of the notes to the financial

statements; and

� the Accounting policies and Notes to the financial statements

for the year then ended.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their

preparation comprises Irish law and accounting standards issued by

the Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by the Institute of

Chartered Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in Ireland).

What an audit of financial statements involves

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards

on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK & Ireland)). An audit involves

obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the

financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether

caused by fraud or error.

This includes an assessment of:

� whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied

and adequately disclosed;

� the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made

by the Directors; and

� the overall presentation of the financial statements.

In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in

the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited

financial statements and to identify any information that is

apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent

with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the

audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or

inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Overview of our audit approach

Materiality

We set certain thresholds for materiality. These helped us to

determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and

to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and on the

financial statements as a whole.

During the year, 1 Fund terminated, (the ‘terminated Fund’). There are

23 Funds operating as at 30 November 2014 (the ‘continuing Funds’).

Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for

each continuing Fund to be 50 basis points of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)

at 30 November 2014. For the terminated Fund, we determined

materiality to be 50 basis points of average NAV during the year. We

viewed these as appropriate benchmarks because the main objective

of the Company is to provide investors with a total return at a Fund

level, taking into account the capital and income returns.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them

misstatements identified during our audit above 5 basis points of the

relevant NAV, for NAV per share impacting differences, as well as

misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted

reporting for qualitative reasons.

Overview of the scope of our audit

The Company is an open-ended investment Company with variable

capital. The Company’s Balance sheet, Income statement and

Statement of changes in net assets attributable to redeemable

participating shareholders are an aggregation of the results of the 24

Funds that were in existence during the year.

Overview of the scope of our audit (continued)

The Directors control the affairs of the Company and are responsible

for the overall investment policy which is determined by them. The

Directors have delegated certain duties and responsibilities to

BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited (the “Manager”) with

regards to the day-to-day management of the Company.

The Manager has delegated certain of these responsibilities to

BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) and to

State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Administrator”).

State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Custodian”) has

been appointed as the Custodian. The financial statements, which

remain the responsibility of the Directors, are prepared on their behalf

by the Administrator.

In establishing the overall approach to our audit we assessed the risk

of material misstatement at a Fund level, taking into account the

nature, likelihood and potential magnitude of any misstatement. We

look at each Fund at an individual level. As part of our risk

assessment, we considered the Company’s interaction with the

Administrator, and we assessed the control environment in place at

this entity.

Areas of particular audit focus

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors made a number of

subjective judgements, for example the selection of pricing sources to

value the investment portfolio. We primarily focused our work in these

areas by assessing the Directors’ judgements against available

evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the

disclosures in the financial statements.

In our audit, we tested and examined information, using sampling and

other auditing techniques, to the extent we considered necessary to

provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtained

audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls,

substantive procedures or a combination of both.

We considered the following areas to be those that required particular

focus in the current year. This is not a complete list of all risks or

areas of focus identified by our audit. We discussed these areas of

focus with the Audit Committee. Their report, which includes those

matters that they considered to be significant issues in relation to the

financial statements is set out on pages 29 to 32.

Area of focus How the scope of our audit

addressed the area of focus

Existence of financial assets at

fair value through profit or loss

The financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss included in

the Balance sheet of each Fund

are held in the Fund’s name at

30 November 2014.

We focused on this area because

it represents the principal

element of the financial

statements.

We obtained independent

confirmation from the Custodian

and counterparties of the

investment portfolio held at

30 November 2014, agreeing the

confirmation to the books and

records.

Valuation of financial assets at

fair value through profit or loss

The financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss included in

the Balance sheet of each Fund

at 30 November 2014 are valued

at fair value in line with Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice in

Ireland.

We focused on this area because

it represents the principal

element of the financial

statements.

We tested the investment

portfolios by independently

agreeing the valuation of

investments to third party vendor

sources.

Risk of management override of

internal controls

ISAs (UK & Ireland) require that

we consider this.

We assessed the overall control

environment of the Company and

each of the Funds. We tested key

reconciliations and certain manual

journal entries. We considered

whether there was evidence of

bias by the Directors in the

significant accounting estimates

and judgements relevant to the

financial statements.

Accounting policies*

* The accounting policies are an integral part of the notes to the financial statements.

[ 4 2 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting

standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish statute comprising

the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 and the provisions of the European

Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable

Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”).

Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing

financial statements which present a true and fair view are those

published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (the

“Institute”) and issued by the Financial Reporting Council.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost

convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and

financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss, with the

exception of the Merging Fund as detailed in the background section.

This Fund has been prepared on a termination basis.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Irish

Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (“Irish GAAP”) requires

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of

income and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from

those estimates. Details of any critical accounting estimates and

judgements are set out in section b) in this accounting policies

section.

The information required by Financial Reporting Standard (“FRS”) 3,

"Reporting Financial Performance", to be included in a statement of

total recognised gains and losses and reconciliation of movements in

shareholders' funds, is, in the opinion of the Directors, contained in

the income statement and the statement of changes in net assets

attributable to redeemable participating shareholders of the

Company.

The Company has availed of the exemption available to open-ended

investment funds under FRS 1 (revised) “Cash Flow Statements” and

is not presenting a cash flow statement.

All references to net assets throughout this document refer to net

assets attributable to redeemable participating shareholders unless

otherwise stated.

New standards issued but not yet adopted

In 2012, 2013 and 2014 the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) revised

Financial Reporting Standards in the United Kingdom and Republic of

Ireland. The revisions fundamentally reformed financial reporting,

replacing the extant standards with a number of new Financial

Reporting Standards. The only new standard relevant to the Company

is FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and

Republic of Ireland. FRS 102 is effective for accounting periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2015 with early adoption permitted.

The Company does not plan to early adopt FRS 102. The Manager is

currently evaluating the new standard to determine the impact it will

have on the Company’s financial statements.

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are:

a) Investments

Classification of investments

The Company classifies its investments as financial assets or

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The category of

financial assets through profit or loss comprises financial

instruments designated by the Investment Manager, at inception, as

being at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value

through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and

their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with

the documented investment strategy.

Recognition/derecognition of investments

Purchases and sales of investments are accounted for on the date the

trade transaction takes place. Investments are derecognised when

the rights to receive cashflows from the investments have expired or

the risks and rewards of ownership have all been substantially

transferred. Realised gains and losses on disposals are calculated

using the average cost method and are reflected as net gains/(losses)

on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the

income statement.

Initial measurement of investments

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or

loss are initially recognised at fair value. Gains and losses arising

from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or financial

liabilities are presented in the income statement in the year in which

they arise. Transaction costs on purchases and sales of investments

are included in the net gains/(losses) on financial assets/liabilities at

fair value through profit or loss in the income statement.

Valuation of investments

The estimation of fair value, after initial recognition, is determined as

follows:

i) Listed investments

Investments which are quoted, listed, traded or dealt on a market or

exchange are based on quoted prices which, for the purpose of the

financial statements, is the closing bid-market price for financial

assets and the closing ask market price for financial liabilities, as at

the year end date, on the relevant market or exchange which is

normally the principal market or exchange for such investments.

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 4 3 ]

a) Investments (continued)

Valuation of investments (continued)

ii) Futures contracts

A futures contract is a contract, traded on an exchange, to buy or sell

a certain underlying instrument at a certain date in the future, at a

specified price.

Initial margin deposits are made to the relevant brokers upon entering

into future contracts and are generally made in margin cash. The cash

balances held as margin at the reporting date are included in current

assets/liabilities in the balance sheet.

The changes in value of futures contracts are recognised as

unrealised gains or losses by marking-to-market the value of the

contract at the balance sheet date. Changes in the futures contracts’

value are settled daily with the exchange by paying or receiving a

variation margin amount. Changes in unrealised gains or losses are

recognised in the income statement.

When the contract is closed, the difference between the proceeds

from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the original transaction

is recorded as a realised gain or loss in the income statement.

iii) Forward currency contracts

A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to

buy or sell a certain underlying instrument at a certain date in the

future, at a specified price.

The unrealised gain or loss on open forward currency contracts is

calculated by reference to the difference between the contracted rate

and the rate to close out the contract as at the year end date.

Unrealised gains and losses are included in the balance sheet.

Contracts are marked-to-market and the change, if any, is recorded

as an unrealised gain or loss.

Realised gains or losses are recognised on the maturity of a contract

as the difference between the rate that the contract was entered into

and the closing spot rate at the settlement date of the contract.

Realised gains or losses and changes in unrealised gains or losses are

recognised in the income statement.

iv) Warrants

Warrants are financial instruments that convey the right, but not the

obligation, to engage in a future transaction on an underlying

security, within a certain time frame.

Warrants which are quoted, listed, traded or dealt on a market or

exchange are valued based on quoted prices which, for the purpose of

the financial statements are the closing bid-market price as at the

year end date, on the relevant market or exchange which is normally

the principal market or exchange for such investments.

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Irish GAAP

requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also

requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of

applying the Company's accounting policies.

The estimates and associated judgements are based on historical

experience and various other factors that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the

basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and

liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual

results may differ from these estimates.

Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the

future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom

equal the actual results.

i) Prices calculated in consultation with the Manager

A number of securities were valued by the administrator in

consultation with the Manager in the absence of year end vendor

prices. The total value of securities valued using a price calculated by

the investment manager as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November

2013 is less than 1% of the NAV of the applicable Funds.

c) Income

i) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the securities are declared ex-

dividend. Dividend income is shown gross of any non-reclaimable

withholding tax, which is disclosed separately in the income

statement.

ii) Bond interest income

Bond interest income is accrued on a daily basis using the effective

yield method.

iii) Bank interest income

Bank interest income is recognised as income on an effective yield

basis.

[ 4 4 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

c) Income (continued)

iv) Amortisation/accretion of premium/discounts on purchase of

interest-bearing investments

Premiums or discounts on the purchase of fixed and variable interest

rate investments are amortised over the life of the investment on an

effective yield basis.

v) Securities lending income

Securities lending income is earned from lending securities owned by

the Fund to a number of third-party borrowers. Securities lending

income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

d) Fees and expenses

Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis with the exception of

transaction charges relating to the acquisition and realisation of

investments which are charged as incurred. Bank interest expense is

accrued on a daily basis using the effective yield method.

e) Transaction costs

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable

to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial

liability.

An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the

entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial

instrument. When a financial asset or financial liability is recognised

initially, it is measured at its fair value through profit or loss, plus

transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or

issue of the financial asset or financial liability.

Transaction costs on purchases or sales of financial assets or

financial liabilities are included in net gains/(losses) on financial

assets at fair value through profit or loss in the income statement of

the Fund. Separately identifiable transaction costs are disclosed in

note 10 of the notes to the financial statements of the Company.

Custody transaction costs are not separately identifiable as they form

part of the total expense ratio of the Fund. The Manager is

responsible for discharging all operational expenses of the Fund, see

note 4 of the notes to the financial statements of the Company on

page 79 for more details.

f) Distributions

Dividend expenses are accounted for as finance costs. The Directors

may declare distributions for each distributing Fund, in respect of

each financial period. Dividends will normally be declared quarterly,

semi-annually or such other times as the Directors deem appropriate.

As of 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013, all of the Funds have

adopted UK Reporting Fund Status.

g) Redeemable participating shares

Subscriptions and redemptions are accounted for on the day the

trade transaction takes place.

Redeemable participating shares are redeemable at the option of the

shareholders and are classified as financial liabilities. Any

distributions on these shares are recognised in the income statement

as finance costs.

The redeemable participating shares can be redeemed for cash equal

to a proportionate share of the NAV calculated in accordance with the

Company's prospectus. The redeemable participating share is valued

at the redemption amount that is payable at the balance sheet date if

the shareholder exercised their right to put the shares back to the

Company.

The fair value of the financial liabilities for the redeemable

participating shares is the redemption amount per share, calculated

as the NAV per share less any associated duties and charges and any

redemption fee which is payable on the shares redeemed. Any

potential duties and charges are at the discretion of the Board of

Directors.

h) Foreign currency

i) Functional and presentation currency

The presentation currency of the Company's financial statements is

ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional

currency of each Fund at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect

at the date of the transaction.

Subscriptions and redemptions of shares in foreign currencies are

translated at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the date

of the transaction. Foreign currency assets and liabilities, including

investments, are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at year

end. The foreign exchange gain or loss based on the translation of the

investments, as well as the gain or loss arising on the translation of

other assets and liabilities, is included in net gains/(losses) on

financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the

income statement.

i) Receivables

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction

costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. They are

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest

method less provision for impairment.

Dividend tax reclaim receivables are accounted for on the dividend ex-

date. The carrying amount of receivables approximates to their fair

value.

j) Payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated

at amortised cost. The difference between proceeds and the amount

payable is recognised over the period of the payable using the

effective interest method.

The carrying amount of payables approximates to their fair value.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents may include deposits held on call with

banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original

maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are classified as

liabilities.

l) Collateral

For collateral received from counterparties other than cash, a

disclosure of the value of collateral provided is made in the notes to

the financial statements.

m) Adjustment to align to the valuation methodology as set out in

the prospectus

The accounting policy of the Company, for the purpose of compliance

with FRS 26 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”,

is to value its investments at the relevant fair value at the balance

sheet date. Fair value is considered to be the relevant closing bid

market price on the balance sheet date.

Any difference between the valuation methodology stated in the

financial statements and the valuation methodology indicated in the

prospectus results in an adjustment between the net assets as per

the financial statements and the dealing NAV.

m) Adjustment to align to the valuation methodology as set out in

the prospectus (continued)

Net assets attributable to redeemable participating shareholders

represent a liability on the balance sheet, and are reflected at the

redemption amount that would be payable at the balance sheet date,

if the shareholder exercised their right to redeem shares in the Funds.

The redemption amount is based on the number of shares in issue at

the balance sheet date multiplied by the price per share.

Consequently, the differences described above adjust the carrying

amount of the net assets attributable to shareholders and the

cumulative differences are included in "Adjustment to align to the

valuation methodology as set out in the prospectus” on the balance

sheet. Further details are set out in note 9 in the financial statements

of the Company.

n) Equalisation on distributions

Equalisation arrangements are applied in the case of shares in the

Company. These arrangements are intended to ensure that the

income distribution per share is not affected by changes in the

number of shares in issue during the year.

To ensure that each shareholder receives the same rate of

distribution per share, the buying price of each share contains an

amount called equalisation. This is equivalent to the net of

distributable income less expenses accrued in the Company at the

time of purchase/sale.

As part of the distribution payment, the average amount of this

equalisation is returned to shareholders who subscribed to or

redeemed from the Company during the year. The equalisation

element of the distribution is treated as a repayment of capital.

For tax and accounting purposes, the Manager implements income

and equalisation arrangements, to ensure that the level of income

derived from investments is not affected by the issue, conversion or

redemption of units during the accounting period.

Equalisation income and/or expense amounts are included in note 6

in the notes to the financial statements of the Company.

o) Comparative period

Certain prior year figures have been reclassified to correspond to

current year presentation.

Financial instruments and risks*

* The information relating to financial instruments and risks is an integral part of the notes to the financial statements.

i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T [ 4 7 ]

The Company's investment activities expose it to the various types of

risk which are associated with the financial instruments and markets

in which it invests. The following information is not intended to be a

comprehensive summary of all risks and investors should refer to the

prospectus and supplements for a more detailed discussion of the

risks inherent in investing in the Company.

The Directors of the Company review quarterly investment

performance reports and receive semi-annual presentations in

person from the Investment Manager, which cover the Company’s

performance and risk profile during the year. The Directors have

delegated certain duties and responsibilities to the Manager with

regard to the day-to-day management of the Company. The Manager

has in turn delegated the day-to-day administration of the investment

programme to the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager is

also responsible for ensuring that the Company is managed within the

terms of its investment guidelines and limits set out in the prospectus

and supplements. The Board reserves to itself the investment

performance and product risk monitoring and oversight and delegates

to the Manager responsibility for the monitoring and oversight of

regulatory and operational risk for the Company. The Board has

delegated the daily risk management to key risk management

personnel of the Manager. The Manager has appointed a Risk

Manager who has responsibility for the daily risk management

process with assistance from key risk management personnel of the

Investment Manager, including members of the Risk and Quantitative

Analysis Group (“RQA Group”) which is a centralised group which

performs an independent risk management function. The group

independently identifies, measures and monitors investment risk.

RQA track the actual risk management practices being deployed

across the different Funds. By breaking down the components of the

process, RQA have the ability to determine if the appropriate risk

management processes are in place across the Funds. This captures

the risk management tools employed, how the levels of risk are

controlled, ensuring risk/return is considered in portfolio construction

and reviewing outcomes.

Change to global exposure calculation methodology

Under the UCITS notices issued by the Central Bank of Ireland, the

Investment Manager is required to employ a risk management

methodology which enables it to accurately monitor, manage and

calculate the global exposure of the Funds. Prior to 6 October 2014

the Investment Manager used a methodology known as "relative VaR"

to calculate global exposure.

Effective 6 October 2014, the Investment Manager changed the

methodology used to calculate global exposure from relative VaR to

the commitment approach for all Funds with the exception of 7

Funds, as disclosed in the background section. The Investment

Manager has concluded that the commitment approach is a more

suitable methodology based on the Funds’ investment strategies and

risk profile.

The commitment approach is a methodology that aggregates the

underlying market or notional value of financial derivative

instruments to determine the global exposure of the Fund. In

accordance with the UCITS notices, global exposure for a fund

utilising the commitment approach must not exceed 100% of the

Fund’s NAV.

The change in methodology does not change the way in which the

Funds are managed. As disclosed under the Market Risk section, the

Investment Manager will continue to report VaR and other relevant

metrics to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis for risk

management purposes.

The principal risk exposure of the Company is set out as follows:

a) Market risk

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of

financial instruments influenced by other price, currency and interest

rate movements. It represents the potential loss the Company may

suffer through holding market positions in the face of market

movements. The Company is exposed to market risk by virtue of its

investments in equities, rights, warrants, bonds, Exchange Traded

Funds (“ETFs”), futures contracts and forward currency contracts.

There is no assurance that each benchmark index will continue to be

calculated on the basis described in the prospectus or that they will

not be amended significantly. The past performance of each

benchmark index is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

A key metric the RQA Group uses to measure market risk is VaR which

encompasses price, currency and interest rate risk. The RQA Group is

a centralised group which performs an independent risk management

function. The group independently identifies, measures and monitors

investment risk.

VaR is a statistical risk measure that estimates the potential portfolio

loss from adverse market moves in an ordinary market environment.

VaR analysis reflects the interdependencies between risk variables,

unlike a traditional sensitivity analysis.

The VaR calculations are based on a confidence level of 99% with a

holding period of not greater than 1 month (20 days) and a historical

observation period of not less than 1 year (250 days) where relevant. A

VaR number is defined at a specified probability and a specified time

horizon. A 99% 1 month VaR means that the expectation is that 99%

of the time over a 1 month period the Fund will lose less than this

number in percentage terms. Therefore, higher VaR numbers indicate

higher risk.

[ 4 8 ] i S H A R E S V P L C A N N U A L R E P O R T

a) Market risk (continued)

It is noted that the use of VaR methodology has limitations, namely

assumptions that risk factor returns are normally distributed and that

the use of historical market data as a basis for estimating future

events does not encompass all possible scenarios, particularly those

that are of an extreme nature and that the use of a specified

confidence level (e.g. 99%) does not take into account losses that

occur beyond this level.

There is some probability that the loss could be greater than the VaR

amounts. These limitations and the nature of the VaR measure mean

that the Fund can neither guarantee that losses will not exceed the

VaR amounts indicated, nor that losses in excess of the VaR amounts

will not occur more frequently.

The 1 month VaR as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013

based on 99% confidence level is outlined in the table below and

i) Market risk arising from other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a

financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market

prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency

risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the

individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting

similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Company is exposed to market price risk arising from its

investments in equities, rights, bonds, warrants, ETFs, futures

contracts and forward currency contracts. The movements in the

prices of these investments result in movements in the performance

of the Company. The investment concentrations within the portfolio

are disclosed in the schedules of investments by investment type.

The Investment Manager manages the Company’s market risk on a

daily basis in accordance with the Company’s investment objective.

The investment objective of the Funds is to provide investors with a

total return, taking into account the capital and income returns, which

reflect the total returns of the respective benchmark. The Fund’s

performance is correlated to its benchmark. The correlation of the

Funds’ performance against the benchmark is a metric monitored by

key management personnel.

ii) Market risk arising from foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows

of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign

exchange rates.

The Company may invest in securities, which as far as possible and

practicable, consist of the component securities of the benchmark

index of each Fund, and which may be denominated in currencies

other than its reporting currency. Consequently, each Fund is exposed

to the risk of currency fluctuations between the base currency of the

benchmark index and the base currency of the constituent securities

of the benchmark index.

To minimise this risk, the Funds, iShares MSCI Japan EUR Hedged

UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI

World EUR Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI World GBP Hedged

UCITS ETF, iShares S&P 500 EUR Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares S&P 500

GBP Hedged UCITS ETF (collectively the ''Currency Hedged Funds''),

invest in forward foreign exchange contracts that as far as possible

track the hedging methodology of the benchmark index. The

benchmark indices of the Currency Hedged Funds are designed to

represent a close approximation of the return that can be achieved by

hedging the currency exposures of the index in the one-month

forward market at the end of each month.

The Currency Hedged Funds in the following tables track the currency

hedged indices which aim to provide investors with a return

correlated to the local index return by reducing the effect of exchange

rate fluctuations between the local and hedged currency.

The hedge is not adjusted during the month for price movements of

securities, corporate actions or index changes but is adjusted

proportionately for subscription and redemption activity.

This approach means the Fund retains an element of currency risk on

mid month price movements. The hedge is closed on the last business

day of each month by executing a spot transaction which will settle

two days after the month end. The value of the foreign currency

contracts are disclosed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

With the exception of the Currency Hedged Funds, the Funds, in line

with their benchmarks, are unhedged and are therefore exposed to

foreign currency risk.

The tables below outline the exposure to foreign currency risk as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013:

iii) Market risk arising from interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a

financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market

interest rates.

All of the Funds are exposed to interest rate risk through their cash

holdings including margin cash held with brokers. The Funds listed in

the following tables are also exposed to interest rate risk through

their investments in bonds where the value of these securities may

fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. The Funds that

invest in ETFs have an indirect exposure to those investments that are

held by the ETFs.

The Funds also have indirect exposure to interest rate risk through

investments into futures contracts, whereby the value of the

underlying asset may fluctuate as a result of a change in interest

rates.

iShares Euro Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF (the

"Interest Rate Hedged Fund") sells German government futures

contracts in order to hedge the underlying German government bond

yield risk, which is part of the Funds European corporate bond

exposure.

The Interest Rate Hedged Fund, as far as possible and practicable,

tracks the hedging methodology of the benchmark index. The

benchmark index of the Interest Rate Hedged Fund aims to measure

the total return of euro denominated corporate bonds in the Barclays

EUR Corporate Interest Rate Hedged Index while hedging against

underlying interest rate risk of euro corporate bonds in the form of

German government bond yield risk. The benchmark index hedges

against underlying interest rate risk by subtracting from the total

return of the Barclays EUR Corporate Interest Rate Hedged Index, the

return on a basket of German government bond futures contracts on a

monthly basis. The hedge aims to minimise exposure to movements in

the yield of German government bonds, which is a part of European

corporate bond exposure.

b) Counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a financial

instrument will fail to fulfil an obligation or commitment that it has

entered into with the Company.

A number of the Funds invest into sovereign and corporate debt. This

exposes the Funds to the risk that the issuer of the bonds may default

on interest or principal payments. To manage this risk, the Investment

Manager invests in a wide range of securities, subject to the

investment objectives of each Fund and monitors the credit ratings of

the investments as disclosed in the schedules of investments.

The ratings of the debt securities are continually monitored by the

BlackRock Portfolio Management Group (“PMG”).

The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk from the parties

with which it trades and will bear the risk of settlement default.

Counterparty credit risk to the Company arises from transactions to

purchase or sell futures contracts, forward currency contracts,

equities, bonds, rights, warrants and ETFs (through their underlying

holdings).

Counterparty credit risk is monitored and managed by BlackRock’s

RQA Counterparty & Concentration Risk Team. The team is headed by

BlackRock’s Chief Credit Officer who reports to the Global Head of

RQA. Credit authority resides with the Chief Credit Officer and

selected team members to whom specific credit authority has been

delegated.

As such, counterparty approvals may be granted by the Chief Credit

Officer, or by identified RQA Credit Risk Officers who have been

formally delegated authority by the Chief Credit Officer.

The BlackRock RQA Counterparty & Concentration Risk Team

completes a formal review of each new counterparty, monitors and

reviews all approved counterparties on an ongoing basis and

maintains an active oversight of counterparty exposures and the

collateral management process.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

The Company’s holdings in futures contracts expose the Company to

counterparty credit risk. The exposure is limited by trading the

contracts through a clearing house. The Company's exposure to

counterparty credit risk on contracts in which it currently has a gain

position is reduced by such gains received in cash from the

counterparty under the daily mark-to-market mechanism on

exchange traded futures contracts (variation margin). The Company's

exposure to counterparty credit risk on contracts in which it currently

has a loss position is equal to the amount of margin posted to the

counterparty which has not been transferred to the exchange under

the daily mark-to-market mechanism. The counterparty for futures

contracts is Barclay's Plc. The long term credit rating of Barclay's Plc

as at 30 November 2014 is A- (30 November 2013: A- (Standard and

Poor's rating).

Margin is paid or received on futures contracts to cover any exposure

by the counterparty or the Company to each other. ''Margin cash

account” on the balance sheet consists of margin receivable from or

payable to the Company's clearing brokers and various

counterparties.

The Company's holdings in forward currency contracts also expose

the Company to counterparty credit risk. The Company's maximum

exposure to counterparty credit risk from holding forward currency

contracts will be equal to the notional amount of the currency and any

net unrealised gains as disclosed in the schedules of investments.

Forward currency contracts do not require variation margins and thus

the counterparty credit risk is monitored through the BlackRock RQA

Counterparty & Concentration Risk Team who monitor the

creditworthiness of the counterparty. The counterparties for forward

currency contracts are disclosed in the schedules of investments.

State Street Bank is the counterparty for forward currency contracts

and has a credit rating of AA- (S&P rating).

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery

using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as

delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received

payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have

been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to

meet its obligation.

Counterparty credit risk arising on transactions with brokers relates

to transactions awaiting settlement. Risk relating to unsettled

transactions is considered small due to the short settlement period

involved and the high credit quality of the brokers used. The Company

monitors the credit rating and financial position of the brokers used to

further mitigate this risk.

The Company is indirectly exposed to the counterparty credit risk

within each ETF from the parties with whom each ETF trades. Each

ETF is subject to the same control procedures that the Investment

Manager employs on the Company.

The Company’s Custodian is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland)

Limited (the "Custodian"). The majority of the investments are held by

same at year end. Investments are segregated from the assets of the

Custodian, with ownership rights remaining with the Company.

Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Custodian may cause the Company’s

rights with respect to its investments held by the Custodian to be

delayed or limited. The maximum exposure to this risk is the amount

of long investments disclosed in the schedules of investments.

The Custodian has appointed State Street Bank and Trust Company

(the “Sub-Custodian”) as its global Sub-Custodian. Substantially all of

the cash of the Company is held with the Sub-Custodian.

The Funds' cash balances are held by the Sub-Custodian in its

account together with its own cash balances and with those cash

balances that are held on behalf of other clients. The Funds’ cash

balances are separately identified within the records of the Sub-

Custodian.

In respect of the cash held by the Sub-Custodian or other depositaries

it appoints, the Company will be exposed to the counterparty credit

risk of the Sub-Custodian or those depositaries. In the event of the

insolvency or bankruptcy of the Sub-Custodian or other depositaries,

the Company will be treated as a general creditor of the Sub-

Custodian or the depositaries.

To mitigate the Company's exposure to the Custodian, the Investment

Manager employs specific procedures to ensure that the Custodian is

a reputable institution and that the counterparty credit risk is

acceptable to the Company. The Company only transacts with

Custodians that are regulated entities subject to prudential

supervision, or with "high credit ratings" assigned by international

credit rating agencies.

The long term credit rating of the parent company of the Custodian

and Sub-Custodian, State Street Corporation, as at 30 November

2014, is A+ (30 November 2013: A+) (Standard and Poor's rating).

Prior to the dividend payment date for the distributing funds, cash,

equal to the dividend payable by the Company to shareholders will be

transferred from the Company’s cash accounts with the Custodian to

client asset accounts held with Computershare Investor Services

(Ireland) Limited (the “Registrar”). The Registrar is responsible for

making dividend payments to shareholders invested in distributing

funds and it will do so out of the monies held in client asset accounts.

b) Counterparty credit risk (continued)

While dividend monies are held with the Registrar in the form of cash,

the Company will have counterparty credit risk exposure to the

Registrar and any depositary bank with which the Registrar maintains

cash accounts for the benefit of the Company.

The Company has sought to mitigate its counterparty credit risk

exposure to the Registrar in terms of dividend monies by agreeing

with the Registrar that the cash accounts held with the Registrar

would be operated as client asset accounts in accordance with the

requirements of the Central Bank of Ireland and the Registrar’s

authorisation under the European Communities (Markets in Financial

Instruments Directive) Regulations 2007 (MiFID).

In order to further mitigate the Company’s counterparty credit risk

exposure to depositary banks with which dividend monies are held,

the Company has put in place arrangements with the Registrar to

invest some or all of the dividend monies in money market CIS's

(which may include CIS's managed by the Manager and/or its

affiliates) during part of the period in which dividend monies are held

with the Registrar pending payment to shareholders.

These arrangements include the Registrar holding the units in the

money market CIS's for the benefit of the Company on a segregated

basis, separate from the Registrar’s own assets. This is because,

while securities may be ring-fenced in segregated accounts, cash is

usually held by depositary banks on a commingled basis and, in the

event of insolvency of a depositary bank, a cash account holder would

usually be treated as a general creditor of the depositary bank.

The CIS's with which dividend monies may be invested may comprise

funds in Institutional Cash Series Plc (“ICS”) (a BlackRock umbrella

fund and open-ended investment company with variable capital

incorporated in Ireland. ICS holds these distribution monies for a

short duration pending payment to shareholders. Residual cash held

by the Funds was also invested in ICS during the year), which invest in

money market instruments.

The Company engages in securities lending activities which expose

the Funds to counterparty credit risk. The maximum exposure to each

Fund is equal to the value of the securities loaned in accordance with

note 19 of the notes to the financial statements of the Company.

To mitigate this risk, the Funds receive securities as collateral

(financial instruments) equal to a certain percentage of the value of

the securities loaned and BlackRock provides the Funds with

indemnification against borrower default as disclosed in note 19.

The securities lending borrowers that received securities on loan

during the year included: Barclays Bank Plc, Barclays Capital

Securities Ltd, BNP Paribas Arbitrage, Citigroup Global Markets

Limited, Goldman Sachs International, HSBC Bank Plc, JP Morgan

Securities Plc, Merill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley & Co.

International Plc, Nomura International Plc, Socéité Générale, The

Bank of Nova Scotia and UBS AG.

The carrying value of financial assets together with cash best

represents the Company’s gross maximum exposure to counterparty

credit risk at the reporting date, before including the effect of

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master

agreements and close-out netting, which would reduce the overall

counterparty credit risk exposure.

Cash held as security by the counterparty to derivative contracts is

subject to the credit risk of the counterparty. There were no past due

or impaired assets as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013.

The following tables detail the credit rating profile of the debt securities held by the Company as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013:

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties

in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk to the Company arises from the redemption requests of

investors and the liquidity of the underlying investments the Company

is invested in. The Company’s shareholders may redeem their shares

on the close of any daily dealing deadline for cash equal to a

proportionate share of the Company’s NAV. The Company is therefore

potentially exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting the shareholders’

redemptions and may need to sell assets at prevailing market prices

to meet liquidity demands. It is also exposed to the liquidity risk of

daily margin calls on derivatives.

Liquidity risk is minimised by holding sufficient liquid investments

which can be readily realised to meet liquidity demands. To manage

this risk, if redemption requests on any dealing day represent 10% or

more of the shares in issue in respect of any Fund, the Manager may,

in its discretion, refuse to redeem any shares in excess of 10% (at any

time including after the cut-off time on the dealing day). Any request

for redemption on such dealing day shall be reduced rateably and the

redemption requests shall be treated as if they were received on each

subsequent dealing day until all shares to which the original request

related have been redeemed. Any deferred redemption requests shall

be treated in priority to any redemption requests received on

subsequent dealing days. In any event settlement for redemptions will

normally be made within fourteen days of the day on which the

redemption request is made.

The Company’s liquidity risk is managed on a daily basis by the

Investment Manager in accordance with established policies and

procedures in place. The portfolio managers review daily forward

looking cash reports which project cash obligations. These reports

allow them to manage their cash obligations.

All financial liabilities of the Funds held at the years ended

30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 fall due within one month,

d) Valuation of financial instruments

FRS 29 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” requires the Company to

classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that

reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements.

The Company’s accounting policies on fair value measurement are

discussed in note a) in the Accounting Policies.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted market price in an active market for an identical

instrument. These included active listed equities, rights, ETFs,

warrants, exchange traded derivatives etc.

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if

quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange,

dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency

and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market

transactions on an arm’s length basis.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques used to price securities based on

observable inputs. This category includes instruments valued using:

quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments;

quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are considered

less than active; or other valuation techniques where all significant

inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

Valuation techniques used for non-standardised financial

instruments such as over-the-counter derivatives, include the use of

comparable recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other

instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow

analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of

market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific

inputs.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs.

This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique

includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable

inputs could have a significant impact on the instrument’s valuation.

This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted

prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable

adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences

between the instruments and instruments for which there is no active

market.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value

measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis

of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement in its entirety.

For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the

fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement

uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on

unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement.

Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value

measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors

specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes observable requires significant

judgement by the Investment Manager.

The Investment Manager considers observable data to be that market

data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable

and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources

that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The following is an analysis of the Funds’ financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013:

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in

active markets and therefore classified within level 1. These include

active listed equities, rights, ETFs, warrants and exchange traded

derivatives. The Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these

instruments.

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered

to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer

quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable

inputs are classified within level 2. These include bonds and over-the-

counter derivatives.

As level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active

markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be

adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are

generally based on available market information.

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 during the current year

or in the prior year.

Investments whose values are based on unobservable inputs are

classified within level 3. These include equities and warrants that are

currently suspended and equities priced at zero at the year ended 30

November 2014. The Company has used specific valuation techniques

to determine the fair value of these securities.

The level 3 equities consist of securities with stale and/or suspended

prices at the year ended 30 November 2013. The total market value of

level 3 securities is deemed immaterial for the purposes of presenting

a level 3 roll forward table.

e) Global exposure

In accordance with the UCITS notices issued by the Central Bank of

Ireland, the Manager is required to employ a risk management

process which enables it to accurately monitor and manage the global

exposure of the Funds to financial derivative instruments (“FDI”).

Effective 6 October 2014, global exposure is measured using the

commitment approach to measure the global exposure of a fund and

manage the potential loss to the Fund due to market risk. This

approach is used for all funds with the exception of iShares Euro

Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI Japan

EUR Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF,

iShares MSCI World EUR Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares MSCI World GBP

Hedged UCITS ETF, iShares S&P 500 EUR Hedged UCITS ETF and

iShares S&P 500 GBP Hedged UCITS ETF, where global exposure is

measured using VaR.

The commitment approach is a methodology that aggregates the

underlying market or notional value of FDI to determine the global

exposure of the Fund. In accordance with the UCITS notices, global

exposure for a fund utilising the commitment approach must not

exceed 100% of the Fund’s NAV.

The exposures to FDI at year end are marked on the relevant Funds

schedule of investments.

Prior to 6 October 2014 global exposure was measured using the VaR approach for all Funds with the exception of the Funds detailed in the

following table. The following table details the highest, lowest and average utilisation of the VaR limit, expressed as a percentage of the

respective relative VaR regulatory limit for years ended 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013. For relative VaR, the VaR of the Fund’s

portfolio will not exceed twice the VaR of the reference portfolio. Utilisation refers to the level of risk taken in this context.

f) Leverage

The use of derivatives may expose Funds to a higher degree of risk. In

particular, derivative contracts can be highly volatile, and the amount

of initial margin is generally small relative to the size of the contract

so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure.

A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger

impact on derivatives than on non-derivative instruments. Leveraged

derivative positions can therefore increase Fund volatility.

f) Leverage (continued)

For funds where global exposure is measured using VaR, the leverage is calculated on a gross exposure basis, by taking the sum of the notional

values of the derivatives used by a fund, without netting, and is expressed as a percentage of the NAV. Disclosed in the following table is the

The Company employs an “all in one” fee structure for its Funds, with

each Fund paying all of its fees, operating costs and expenses (and its

due proportion of any costs and expenses allocated to it) as a single

flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio” or “TER”). The TER is calculated in

accordance with the Committee of European Securities Regulators

(“CESR”) guidelines on the methodology for calculation of the ongoing

charges figure in the Key Investor Information Document.

The Manager is responsible for discharging all operational expenses,

including but not limited to fees and expenses of the Directors,

Investment Manager, Custodian, Administrator, Transfer Agent and

Registrar from the amounts received by the Manager from the TER.

the amounts set out above during the life of a fund such amounts may

need to be increased. Any such increase will be subject to the prior

approval of the shareholders of the relevant Fund evidenced either by

a majority vote at a meeting of shareholders or by a written resolution

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to

control the other party or is able to exercise significant influence over

the other party, in making financial or operational decisions.

The following entities were related parties to the Company during the

year ended 30 November 2014:

Board of Directors of the Company

Manager: BlackRock Asset Management

Ireland Limited

Investment Manager and

Promoter: BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited

Sub-Investment Manager: BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.

When arranging transactions in securities for the Company, affiliates

of PNC may provide securities brokerage, foreign exchange, banking

may benefit therefrom. Commissions have 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

commissions rebates provided by brokers or agents have been passed

on to the Company. The services of PNC companies could have been

used by the Investment Manager where it is 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 this is consistent

with the above policy of obtaining best net results.

Fees payable to the Manager and Investment Manager are paid out of

the TER charged to the Funds. The TER forms part of the operating

expenses which are included in the income statement. The

Investment Manager will discharge the fees and expenses of the Sub-

Investment Managers. The Securities Lending Agent pays the

securities lending income to the Funds net of their fees.

Details of soft commission arrangements with related parties are

disclosed in note 15.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

The Company may declare and pay distributions to Redeemable

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total

income of the Fund net of expenses for that financial year.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 14 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

TER % 30 November

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total

income of the Fund net of expenses for that financial year.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

15. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The Company may, subject to the conditions and within the limits

from time to time laid down by the Central Bank of Ireland and the

prospectus, engage in securities lending and employ techniques and

instruments relating to transferable securities for efficient portfolio

management purposes.

During the year the Company engaged in securities lending. The

Company receives either cash collateral or securities as collateral, as

determined within the schedule, for a value in excess of the market

value of the securities loaned. As at 30 November 2014 the collateral

consists of securities admitted to or dealt on a regulated market.

The collateral is registered and held in the name of BlackRock

Advisors (UK) Limited on behalf of the Funds in any or all of the

following collateral agents and central securities depositaries: JP

Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Euroclear or

CREST, depending on the type of collateral the counterparty needs to

give as per the schedule in order to cover the required value of

exposure. Further details can be seen on page 63.

The Investment Manager monitors the fair value of the securities

loaned and additional collateral is obtained, if necessary.

The securities lending agent appointed pursuant to the stock lending

agreement is BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. Until 30 April 2014

securities lending income was split between the Fund and the

securities lending agent in a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the Fund.

Effective 1 May 2014 the ratio changed to 62.5:37.5 in favour of the

Fund, with all operational costs borne out of the securities lending

agents share.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

TER % 30 November

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO REDEEMABLE PARTICIPATING

SHAREHOLDERS

The Company may declare and pay distributions to Redeemable

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total

income of the Fund net of expenses for that financial year.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 14 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

16. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The Company may, subject to the conditions and within the limits

from time to time laid down by the Central Bank of Ireland and the

prospectus, engage in securities lending and employ techniques and

instruments relating to transferable securities for efficient portfolio

management purposes.

During the year the Company engaged in securities lending. The

Company receives either cash collateral or securities as collateral, as

determined within the schedule, for a value in excess of the market

value of the securities loaned. As at 30 November 2014 the collateral

consists of securities admitted to or dealt on a regulated market.

The collateral is registered and held in the name of BlackRock

Advisors (UK) Limited on behalf of the Funds in any or all of the

following collateral agents and central securities depositaries: JP

Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Euroclear or

CREST, depending on the type of collateral the counterparty needs to

give as per the schedule in order to cover the required value of

exposure. Further details can be seen on page 63.

The Investment Manager monitors the fair value of the securities

loaned and additional collateral is obtained, if necessary.

The securities lending agent appointed pursuant to the stock lending

agreement is BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. Until 30 April 2014

securities lending income was split between the Fund and the

securities lending agent in a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the Fund.

Effective 1 May 2014 the ratio changed to 62.5:37.5 in favour of the

Fund, with all operational costs borne out of the securities lending

agents share.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

15. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT (continued)

During the year the Company engaged in securities lending. The

Company receives either cash collateral or securities as collateral, as

determined within the schedule, for a value in excess of the market

value of the securities loaned. As at 30 November 2014 the collateral

consists of securities admitted to or dealt on a regulated market.

The collateral is registered and held in the name of BlackRock

Advisors (UK) Limited on behalf of the Funds in any or all of the

following collateral agents and central securities depositaries: JP

Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Euroclear or

CREST, depending on the type of collateral the counterparty needs to

give as per the schedule in order to cover the required value of

exposure. Further details can be seen on page 63.

The Investment Manager monitors the fair value of the securities

loaned and additional collateral is obtained, if necessary.

The securities lending agent appointed pursuant to the stock lending

agreement is BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. Until 30 April 2014

securities lending income was split between the Fund and the

securities lending agent in a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the Fund.

Effective 1 May 2014 the ratio changed to 62.5:37.5 in favour of the

Fund, with all operational costs borne out of the securities lending

agents share.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 14 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 are disclosed in note 4 and note

12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

value of the securities loaned. As at 30 November 2014 the collateral

The collateral is registered and held in the name of BlackRock

Advisors (UK) Limited on behalf of the Funds in any or all of the

following collateral agents and central securities depositaries: JP

Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Euroclear or

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO REDEEMABLE PARTICIPATING

SHAREHOLDERS

The Company may declare and pay distributions to Redeemable

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total

income of the Fund net of expenses for that financial year.

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

15. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT (continued)

During the year the Company engaged in securities lending. The

Company receives either cash collateral or securities as collateral, as

determined within the schedule, for a value in excess of the market

value of the securities loaned. As at 30 November 2014 the collateral

consists of securities admitted to or dealt on a regulated market.

The collateral is registered and held in the name of BlackRock

Advisors (UK) Limited on behalf of the Funds in any or all of the

following collateral agents and central securities depositaries: JP

Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Euroclear or

CREST, depending on the type of collateral the counterparty needs to

give as per the schedule in order to cover the required value of

exposure. Further details can be seen on page 63.

The Investment Manager monitors the fair value of the securities

loaned and additional collateral is obtained, if necessary.

The securities lending agent appointed pursuant to the stock lending

agreement is BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. Until 30 April 2014

securities lending income was split between the Fund and the

securities lending agent in a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the Fund.

Effective 1 May 2014 the ratio changed to 62.5:37.5 in favour of the

Fund, with all operational costs borne out of the securities lending

agents share.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 13 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 12 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES

Fees earned by the Manager during the year and balances

outstanding as at 30 November 2014 and 30 November 2013 are

disclosed in note 4 and note 14 respectively.

Please refer to note 5 of the financial statements of the Company for

each Fund’s management fee rate.

The Manager is responsible for discharging, from this fee, all fees of

the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Custodian and

any distributing agent appointed by the distributor through whom the

shares will be marketed, together with all reasonable out of pocket

expenses of such service providers, (including sub-custodial fees and

expenses, (which will be at normal commercial rates) and transaction

related charges of the Administrator and Custodian). The Manager

will also be responsible for discharging from its fee for each share

class an attributable proportion of the organisational and operating

expenses, including audit and directors fees, of the Company. The fee

will be accrued daily based on the daily net asset value of the share

classes and will be paid monthly in arrears. Where the actual fees and

costs incurred exceed the amount paid to the Manager, the excess

will be discharged by the Manager from its own assets.

The Fund employs an “all in one” fee structure, paying all of its fees,

operating costs and expenses (and its due proportion of any costs and

expenses allocated to it) as a single flat fee (the “Total Expense Ratio”

or “TER”). The TER is calculated in accordance with the Committee of

European Securities Regulators (“CESR”) guidelines on the

methodology for calculation of the ongoing charges figure in the Key

Investor Information Document.

Total fees paid to the Manager as a percentage of the average Fund

assets for the year were as follows:

Participating Shareholders on any distributing class of Shares in the

Company. The Company intends to declare distributions to

redeemable participating shareholders for each distributing Fund, in

respect of each financial year, which are generally equal to the total
