4 What’s innovative about iShares... iShares are ’40 Act Index Funds… …that trade like stocks iShares have market makers… …addressing discounts & premiums to NAV iShares access underlying market liquidity …trading volume does not equal liquidity iShares in-kind transfers… …enable tax advantages Feat-003 Mutual funds and iShares are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year-end. Your own iShares trading will also generate tax consequences and transaction expenses. Certain traditional mutual funds, such as municipal bond funds, can be tax-efficient as well. Although BGI believes that market makers will take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of iShares through arbitrage opportunities, BGI cannot guarantee that they will do so.

10 Disclosure The iShares that are registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as iShares, Inc. and iShares Trust (the “US iShares”) are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SEI). Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA) serves as an advisor to iShares. Barclays Global Investors Services (BGIS) assists in the marketing of iShares. BGFA and BGIS are subsidiaries of Barclays Global Investors, N.A., none of which are affiliated with SEI. For complete information, including charges and expenses, request a prospectus by calling iShares ( ). Read it carefully before you invest. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Past performance does not guarantee future results. iShares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance is calculated at NAV. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with equity investing, narrowly focused investments, such as single countries, sectors and small companies, typically exhibit higher volatility. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency vales, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. REIT investments include illiquidity and interest rate risk. Products of companies in which technology funds invest may be subject to severe competition and rapid obsolescence. Disc-001
