| Investment Objective: |
The iShares Core 30/70 Conservative Allocation ETF (the "Fund") seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of a portfolio of underlying equity and fixed income funds intended to represent a conservative target risk allocation strategy. The Underlying Funds invest primarily in distinct asset classes, such as large- or mid- capitalization U.S. or non-U.S. equity, the aggregate bond market. The S&P Target Risk Conservative Index (the "Underlying Index") is composed of a portfolio of equity and fixed-income Underlying Funds and measures the performance of the S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the "Index Provider" or "SPDJI") proprietary allocation model that is intended to represent a "conservative" target risk allocation strategy as defined by SPDJI. The Underlying Index seeks to emphasize exposure to fixed income, in order to produce a current income stream and avoid excessive volatility of returns. Equities are included in the Underlying Index to seek to protect long-term purchasing power. The Fund is designed for investors seeking current income, capital preservation and avoidance of excessive volatility of returns. |
