| Investment Objective: |
The iShares Core 60/40 Balanced Allocation ETF (the "Fund") seeks to track the investment results of S&P Target Risk Balanced Index. 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 (including USD-denominated bonds) or the U.S. Treasury bond market; each such asset class has its own risk profile. The S&P Target Risk Balanced 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 "growth" target risk allocation strategy as defined by SPDJI. The Underlying Index seeks to provide increased exposure to equities, while also using some fixed income exposure to dampen risk. |
