CBR.A - Broad Commodity Index Fund (CAD-Hedged)

Commencement Date: 12-Oct-2010
The investment strategy of the iShares Broad Commodity Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) is to obtain economic exposure to the constituent securities of the Morningstar Global Long/Flat Commodity Index, or such other broad-based commodity index as may be selected by BlackRock Investments.

The Fund utilizes a Forward Agreement structure with a Canadian chartered bank or an affiliate thereof in order to provide exposure to the performance of its applicable index. Amounts equal to the income and/or capital gains generated by the portfolio of the index (interest and/or foreign income) will be paid to Unitholders of the ETF primarily as return of capital distributions and as distributions of capital gains. Depending upon the application of a proposed measure in the 2013 Federal Budget relating to any extension or replacement of the Forward Agreement following the Budget date, such distributions may be treated as ordinary income.

  % of Yield
Distribution Yield Distribution Yield

The annual yield an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution stayed the same going forward. The yield represents a single distribution from the fund and does not represent the total return of the fund. The yield is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing by the fund NAV from the as-of date. This figure is net of management fees and other fund expenses.

12-Month Trailing Yield 12-Month Trailing Yield

The yield an investor would have received if they had held the fund over the last twelve months assuming the most recent NAV. The 12-Month yield is calculated by summing any income distributions over the past twelve months and dividing by the sum of the most recent NAV and any capital gain distributions made over the past twelve months. This figure does not take into account management fees or other fund expenses.

Premium/Discount as of 22-May-2013

 
Premium/Discount Premium/Discount

The Premium/Discount table presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time). The table above shows the premium or discount expressed as a percentage of NAV.

Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of the Funds shares through arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so. There is no guarantee an active trading market for the shares, which may result in losses on your investment at the time of disposition of your shares.
