Each of BlackRock Balanced Capital Fund, Inc. (“Balanced Capital Fund”), BlackRock Total Return Fund (“Total Return Fund”), a series of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc., and BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund (“CoreAlpha Bond Fund” and collectively with Balanced Capital Fund and Total Return Fund, the “Feeder Funds”), a series of BlackRock Funds VI, is a “feeder” fund in a “master/feeder” structure. Each of Total Return Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Fund invests all of its assets in Master Total Return Portfolio (“Master Total Return”), a series of Master Bond LLC and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio (“CoreAlpha Bond Master” and together with Master Total Return, the “Master Funds”), a series of Master Investment Portfolio II, respectively. Balanced Capital Fund invests a significant portion of its fixed-income assets in Master Total Return. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), each Feeder Fund’s voting rights with respect to the applicable Master Fund interests that the Feeder Fund owns generally must be passed through to shareholders of the Feeder Fund. This means that each Feeder Fund must vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund in accordance with the voting instructions received from its shareholders and will vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund iii
with respect to which it has not received voting instructions in the same proportion as the interests for which it has received instructions from other holders (this is called “proportional voting” or “echo voting”). Q. | What is a fundamental investment policy? |
A. | The Investment Company Act requires registered investment companies, such as the Funds, to have certain specific investment policies that can be changed only with shareholder approval. Investment companies may also elect to designate other policies that may be changed only with a shareholder vote. Both types of policies are often referred to as fundamental policies. (In this overview and the enclosed joint proxy statement, identifiesthe word “restriction” is sometimes used to describe a policy.) |
Some fundamental policies were adopted in the past by the Funds to reflect certain regulatory, business or industry conditions which are no longer in effect. In addition, certain of the policies of the Funds that remain required by law are more restrictive than the law requires. As a result, many of the current restrictions unnecessarily limit the investment strategies available to BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”) in managing the assets of the Funds. Q. | How do the proposed changes to the Funds’ fundamental investment policies benefit shareholders? |
A. | Changes to the fundamental investment policies of the Funds as proposed in Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, as applicable, are intended to benefit the Funds and their shareholders in the following ways: (i) each of these changes is designed to provide the Funds with greater investment flexibility to pursue their investment objectives and principal investment strategies and/or respond to a changing regulatory and investment environment; and (ii) by reducing to a minimum those policies that can be changed only by shareholder vote, the Funds in the future may be able to avoid the costs and delay associated with holding shareholder meetings to address issues relating to fundamental investment policies. |
While Proposal 1 is intended to, among other things, provide BlackRock with greater flexibility in managing the portfolios of the Funds, if approved, each Fund will continue to be managed subject to the applicable limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder, as well as the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and policies. Although in the near term certain Funds may take advantage of the greater flexibility provided by the amendment or elimination of certain of their current investment restrictions, each Fund will continue to be managed pursuant to its current investment guidelines and Fund management does not anticipate material changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies, unless otherwise disclosed in the enclosed joint proxy statement. iv
Q. | What is happening with BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund? |
A. | Currently, BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund (“Long-Horizon Equity Fund”) is classified as diversified under the Investment Company Act. BlackRock and the Board Members, includingof Trustees of Long-Horizon Equity Fund (the “Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board”) have determined that it is appropriate to change the Board Nominees,diversification classification of Long-Horizon Equity Fund so that such Fund will be classified as non-diversified. In order to be classified as diversified under the Investment Company Act, a fund is required to invest so that at least 75% of the value of the fund’s assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for each Fund.the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the total assets of the fund and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. A fund that is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act is not required to comply with these investment limitations. |
BlackRock and the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board believe that such Fund’s current diversification classification is inconsistent with certain changes to such Fund’s name, investment objective, investment process and principal investment strategies as approved by the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board. The Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board has approved changing the investment objective of such Fund from “to provide high total investment return” to “to seek to achieve long-term capital growth.” Such changes to Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies did not require shareholder approval. In order to reconcile this inconsistency, as well as to provide greater flexibility for such Fund to take advantage of and respond to market developments and trends, the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board recommends amending such Fund’s diversification classification so that it is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act. Because a non-diversified fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely. If Long-Horizon Equity Fund shareholders approve Proposal 6, it is the intention of the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board to rename the Fund “BlackRock Unconstrained Equity Fund.” In conjunction with the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board’s approval of the name and certain strategy changes, it is the intention of BlackRock to change the Fund’s portfolio management team and to change the Fund’s benchmark index from MSCI ACWI Index to the MSCI World Index. The Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board has also reviewed the non-fundamental investment restrictions of Long-Horizon Equity Fund. If the shareholders approve Proposal 6, it is the intention of the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board to amend or eliminate certain of these restrictions, which does not require shareholder approval. Q: | | Why are the Funds holding a meeting to elect Board Members at this time?What is happening with BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio?
|
A: | BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio currently has a fundamental investment policy not to “concentrate” its investments, which means it may not invest more than 25% of its total |
v
| assets in any one industry. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) requiresFund is now seeking to amend its concentration policy to provide that persons filling vacancies on a board be elected by shareholders at a meeting called for that purpose unless at least two-thirds of the directors/trustees then holding office have been elected by shareholders.it will concentrate in non-agency mortgage-backed securities to enhance its ability to execute its principal investment strategies. The Investment Company Act also requires a fundFund does not intend to hold a meeting for the purpose of electing directors/trustees if at any time less than a majority of the directors/trustees were elected by shareholders of the fund. Because five Board Members have been appointed by the existing Board Members and were not elected by shareholders, the Investment Company Act could potentially restrict the abilityotherwise change its principal investment strategies. |
The Fund’s strategy of concentrating in non-agency mortgage-backed securities means that its performance will be closely tied to the performance of a particular market segment. The Fund’s concentration in these securities may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in these securities would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a mutual fund that does not concentrate in such securities. At times, the performance of these securities will lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. Q. | Why are the Boards to appoint new Board Members in the future unless the shareholdersof Directors/Trustees of the Funds elect new Board Members.(each, a “Board”) recommending the changes contemplated by the proposals? |
A. | With respect to Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, as noted above, the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions of the Funds are intended to provide each Fund with greater investment flexibility to pursue its investment objective and strategies and/or respond to a changing regulatory and investment environment and to eliminate fundamental investment restrictions that are not required by the Investment Company Act. Moreover, the proposed changes will generally align the fundamental policies of the Funds with those of other registered funds managed by BlackRock. |
With respect to Proposal 3 and Proposal 4, the proposed elimination of the non-fundamental restriction of each of CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master will remove an investment restriction previously adopted by such Funds that is not required by the Investment Company Act. With respect to Proposal 5, the proposed changes to BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.’s bylaws will remove fundamental policies and references thereto, which are not required to be included in BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.’s bylaws under the Investment Company Act or Maryland law. With respect to Proposal 6, BlackRock and the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board have reviewed such Fund’s investment objective, investment strategies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and determined that it is appropriate to change the diversification classification of Long-Horizon Equity Fund so that such Fund will be classified as non-diversified. Please see the above Q&A for additional detail on the Long-Horizon Equity Fund. Q:Q. | | What is a Feeder Fund and what proposals as a shareholder of a Feeder Fund am I being asked to vote on?will happen if shareholders do not approve the proposals? |
A: | A. | Certain Funds and series of Funds (“Feeder Funds”) invest substantially all of their assets inEach proposal is subject to a corresponding Fund or series ofseparate vote by each applicable Fund’s shareholders. If shareholders do not approve a Fund that hasproposed change to an investment objective that is identical to that Feeder Fund’srestriction in Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3 or Proposal 4, as applicable, the applicable current investment objective (each a “Master Fund,” and collectively,restriction will remain in effect.

For Total Return Fund, if shareholders do not approve Proposal 1 but do approve Proposal 5, the fundamental policies and references thereto will be removed from BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.’s bylaws. If shareholders of Total Return Fund do not approve Proposal 5 but do approve Proposal 1, then BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.’s bylaws will be amended to reflect the amended or eliminated fundamental investment restrictions, as applicable. If neither Proposal 1 nor Proposal 5 is approved by Total Return Fund’s shareholders, no changes will be made to BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc.’s bylaws. For Long-Horizon Equity Fund, if shareholders do not approve Proposal 6, such Fund’s diversification classification will not change and such Fund will continue to be classified as diversified under the Investment Company Act. The changes discussed above to Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s name, investment objective, investment process, principal investment strategies, portfolio management team and benchmark index will not take effect if Proposal 6 is not approved because certain of these changes are incompatible with such Fund’s current diversification classification. In the event that Proposal 6 is not approved by such Fund’s shareholders, BlackRock and the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board may determine to make other changes to Long-Horizon Equity Fund that are compatible with its current diversification classification and do not require shareholder approval. Q. | How do the “Master Funds”). A Master Fund,Boards suggest I vote in turn, invests directlyconnection with the proposals? |
A. | The proposals cannot be effected without shareholder approval. The Boards have approved each applicable proposal. Each Board believes the applicable proposals are in securities and other investments. Each Feeder Fund that invests in a Master Fund that is an Equity-Liquidity Fund is being asked to vote for the Board Nomineesbest interests of the Masterrelevant Fund in whichand recommends that you vote, or submit voting instructions, “FOR” each of the Feeder Fund invests. Under the Investment Company Act, each Feeder Fund’s voting rightsproposals with respect to the Master Fund shares that the Feeder Fund holds generally must be passed through to the Feeder Fund’s own shareholders. This means that each Feeder Fund must vote its Master Fund shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Feeder Fund’s shareholders and will vote interests in the Master Fund with respect to which it has not received voting instructions in the same proportion as the interests for which it has received instructions from other holders (this is called “proportional voting” or “echo voting”). If you are a shareholder of a Feeder Fund that invests in a Master Fund that is an Equity-Liquidity Fund, in addition to |
| seeking your votes on Proposal 1 relating to the Feeder Fund in which you own shares, you will also be asked to provide your voting instructions to your Feeder Fund, as to how, as a beneficial owner of a Master Fund, your Feeder Fund should vote for the election of the Board of the corresponding Master Fund (or, if the Master Fund is a series of a Fund, for the Fund for which such Master Fund is a series) with respect to which your Feeder Fund votes as a shareholder.

PROPOSALS 1, 21.A. THROUGH 1.N. AND 3—ELECTIONPROPOSALS 2.A. THROUGH 2.J. — TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OR ELIMINATION, AS APPLICABLE, OF BOARD MEMBERSCERTAIN OF THE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS OF EACH FUND AND, FOR BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND, AN AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. TO REFLECT THE AMENDMENT OR ELIMINATION OF SUCH FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTING SEPARATELY WITH RESPECT TO THEIR FUND The purpose of Proposal 1Proposals 1.A. through 1.N. is to elect fifteen Board membersapprove the amendment or elimination, as applicable, of certain of the fundamental investment restrictions of each Fund. In addition, Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F., 1.H. and 1.J. include proposed changes to the Boardbylaws of each Fund.BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. (“BlackRock Bond Fund”), which require shareholder approval to be implemented, in order to align certain fundamental policies set out in the bylaws with the stated fundamental investment restrictions proposed for Total Return Fund as described in such Proposals. The purpose of Proposal 2Proposals 2.A. through 2.J is to provide voting instructions to each Feeder Fund with respect to how, as a beneficial owner of the applicable Master Fund, the Feeder Fund should vote in connection with the electionproposals to approve the amendment or elimination, as applicable, of fifteencertain of the fundamental investment restrictions of the applicable Master Fund, as contemplated by Proposals 1.A. through 1.J., as applicable. Background The Investment Company Act requires registered investment companies, such as the Funds, to have certain specific investment policies that can be changed only with shareholder approval. Investment companies may also elect to designate other policies that may be changed only with a shareholder vote. Both types of policies are often referred to as fundamental policies. (In this Proxy Statement, the word “restriction” is sometimes used to describe a policy.) Some fundamental policies were adopted in the past by the Funds to reflect certain regulatory, business or industry conditions which are no longer in effect. In addition, certain of the policies of the Funds that remain required by law are more restrictive than the law requires. As a result, many of the current restrictions unnecessarily limit the investment strategies available to BlackRock in managing the assets of the Funds. Changes to the fundamental investment policies of the Funds as proposed in Proposal 1, as applicable, are intended to benefit the Funds and their shareholders in the following ways: (i) each of these changes is designed to provide the Funds with greater investment flexibility to pursue their investment objectives and principal investment strategies and/or respond to a changing regulatory and investment environment; and (ii) by reducing to a minimum those policies that can be changed only by shareholder vote, the Funds in the future may be able to avoid the costs and delay associated with holding shareholder meetings to address issues relating to fundamental investment policies. In the proposed fundamental investment restrictions, references to the Investment Company Act or other applicable law, as applicable, will include any rules promulgated thereunder and any guidance, interpretations or modifications by the Securities and Exchange (the “Commission”), Commission staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, including court interpretations, and exemptive, no-action or other relief or permission from the Commission, Commission staff or other authority. - 7 -
The Proposals are intended to update the fundamental investment policies of the Funds as set forth below by amending or eliminating certain fundamental investment policies. Each Proposal relates to a particular fundamental restriction. Shareholders are being asked to vote separately on, and provide voting instructions separately with respect to, each applicable Proposal. No Proposal to amend or eliminate any fundamental investment policy is contingent upon the approval of any other Proposal. As a result, it may be the case that certain of a Fund’s fundamental investment policies will be amended or eliminated while others will not. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve an applicable Proposal, the current investment policy contained in that Proposal will remain in effect for that Fund. If a Proposal is approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the proposed change to that fundamental investment policy will take effect as soon as reasonably practicable. Each Proposal described below sets out the current fundamental investment restriction of each Fund to which the Proposal is applicable. Please note that the charts may not include the exact wording of the fundamental investment restrictions described. A list of the fundamental investment restrictions that will apply to each Fund if each applicable Proposal is approved by the Fund’s shareholders is set out in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. (Appendix B includes current fundamental investment restrictions that are not proposed to be amended for certain Funds because such current restrictions already reflect the fundamental investment restrictions in effect for other BlackRock-advised Funds (as defined below) and provide maximum investment flexibility.) Proposal 1 is intended to, among other things, provide BlackRock with greater flexibility in managing the portfolios of the Funds, and, as noted below, in the near term certain Funds may take advantage of the additional investment flexibility provided by the amendment or elimination of certain of their current fundamental investment restrictions. However, if Proposal 1 is approved for a Fund, unless otherwise disclosed in this Proxy Statement, Fund management does not anticipate material changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies, and the Fund will continue to be managed subject to the applicable limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder, as well as the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and policies. The proposed changes to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund contemplated by Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H., which require shareholder approval to be implemented, will not be made if Total Return Fund shareholders approve Proposal 5. As discussed below in Proposal 5, it is proposed that the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund be amended to remove fundamental policies and references thereto. In the event that Proposal 5 is approved by Total Return Fund’s shareholders in addition to Proposal 1, rather than BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws being amended pursuant to Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H., all fundamental policies of BlackRock Bond Fund and references thereto will be removed from the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund. If shareholders do not approve Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and/or 1.H. but do approve Proposal 5, the fundamental policies and references thereto will be removed from BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws. If shareholders of Total Return Fund do not approve Proposal 5 but do approve Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and/or 1.H., then BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws will be amended to reflect the amended or eliminated fundamental investment restrictions, as applicable. If none of Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H. and Proposal 5 is approved by Total Return Fund’s shareholders, no changes will be made to BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws. - 8 -

For purposes of the concentration policy, the Fund will look through to the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds in which it invests and will aggregate the holdings of the underlying funds (on a pro rata basis based on the Fund’s investment in each underlying fund) to determine concentration in a particular industry in accordance with the concentration policy provided above. For the purposes of this policy, only those underlying funds that are part of the BlackRock family of funds will be aggregated; the Fund will not aggregate underlying fund holdings, if any, in underlying funds outside of the BlackRock family of funds. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activity in the same industry if, immediately after the purchase and as a result thereof, the value of the Fund’s investments in that industry would exceed 25% of the current value of the Fund’s total assets, provided that this restriction does not limit the Fund’s: (i) investments in securities of other investment companies, (ii) investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or (iii) investments in repurchase agreements, provided further that the Fund reserves the right to concentrate in the obligations of domestic banks (as such term is interpreted by the Commission or its staff. |

In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund state that it is a fundamental policy of the BlackRock Bond Fund not to invest more than 25% of the total assets of the any series of BlackRock Bond Fund (taken at market value at the time of each investment) in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws further provide that utilities will be divided according to their services; for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone each will be considered a separate industry for purposes of this restriction. Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Concentration For each applicable Fund, other than BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio, the proposed fundamental investment restrictionwould state that the Fund may not: “concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used in the Investment Company Act.” For Total Return Fund, it is also proposed that the fundamental policy in BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws relating to concentration be amended to conform to the proposed fundamental investment restriction regarding concentration set out above, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. For BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio only, the proposed fundamental investment restriction would state that the Fund may not: “concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used in the Investment Company Act; provided, that the Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which for purposes of this investment restriction the Fund will treat as an industry or group of industries.” Rationale While the Investment Company Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the Commission has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future. The applicable Funds’ current fundamental policies on concentration vary. The Funds’ current fundamental policies reflect the 25% test noted above that is the Commission’s current interpretation of concentration. If this interpretation were to change, each applicable Fund would not be able to change its concentration policy without seeking shareholder approval. The proposed investment restriction does not contain a stated percentage limitation and will be interpreted to refer to concentration as it may be interpreted from time to time. BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio is seeking to amend its concentration policy to provide that the Fund will concentrate in non-agency mortgage-backed securities to enhance its ability to execute its principal investment strategies. The Fund’s strategy of concentrating in non-agency - 11 -
mortgage-backed securities means that its performance will be closely tied to the performance of a particular market segment. The Fund’s concentration in these securities may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in these securities would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a mutual fund that does not concentrate in such securities. At times, the performance of these securities will lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. Proposals 1.B. and 2.B.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing and the Issuance of Senior Securities. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing and the issuance of senior securities. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing and the Issuance of Senior Securities Under each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing and the issuance of senior securities, the Fund may not issue senior securities, borrow money or pledge its assets, except that it may borrow from banks or enter into reverse repurchase agreements or dollar rolls in amounts aggregating not more than 331/3% of the value of its total assets (calculated when the loan is made) to take advantage of investment opportunities and may pledge up to 331/3% of the value of its total assets to secure such borrowings. Each Fund is also authorized to borrow an additional 5% of its total assets without regard to the foregoing limitations for temporary purposes such as clearance of portfolio transactions and share redemptions. For purposes of these restrictions, the purchase or sale of securities on a “when-issued,” delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, the purchase and sale of options and futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect thereto are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security, a borrowing or a pledge of assets. Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions Regarding Borrowing and the Issuance of Senior Securities The proposed fundamental investment restrictionsof each applicable Fund would state that the Fund may not: “borrow money, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act” and “issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate the Investment Company Act.” - 12 -
Rationale All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy regarding the borrowing of money. The Investment Company Act permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to an additional 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Each Fund has received an exemptive order from the Commission (the “IFL Order”), as further described below, that permits it to borrow from BlackRock-advised Funds (as defined below), which are not banks, to the limited extent necessary to implement the Interfund Lending Program (as defined below) to the extent consistent with the Fund’s investment restrictions and policies and subject to compliance with the conditions of the IFL Order. To limit the risks attendant to borrowing, the Investment Company Act requires a fund to maintain an “asset coverage” of at least 300% of the amount of its borrowings, provided that in the event that the fund’s asset coverage falls below 300%, the fund is required to reduce the amount of its borrowings so that it meets the 300% asset coverage threshold within three days (not including Sundays and holidays). Moreover, the current restrictions require certain Funds to include reverse repurchase agreements in their one-third borrowing limit. However, under new Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act, which governs registered funds’ use of derivatives and has a compliance date of August 19, 2022, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions may either be treated as borrowings and subject to the Investment Company Act restrictions or may be treated as derivatives. In addition, all mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy regarding the issuance of senior securities. The Investment Company Act prohibits an open-end investment company from issuing any class of senior security, or selling any class of senior security of which it is the issuer, except that the investment company may borrow from a bank provided that immediately after any such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all of its borrowings. Each applicable Fund’s current investment restriction as it relates to borrowing limits borrowings to borrowings from banks in amounts not exceeding 331/3% of total assets to take advantage of investment opportunities and an additional 5% for temporary purposes. The proposed investment restriction regarding borrowing will permit an applicable Fund to borrow to the fullest extent permitted by the Investment Company Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time, and in situations and under circumstances in which it previously could not do so. Borrowing may cause the value of a Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not borrow. This is because borrowing tends to magnify the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a Fund’s portfolio holdings. Borrowed money thus creates an opportunity for greater gains, but also greater losses. There also are costs associated with borrowing money, and these costs would offset and could eliminate a Fund’s net investment income in any given period. Additionally, pursuant to the IFL Order, each applicable Fund, to the extent permitted by its investment policies and restrictions and subject to meeting the conditions of the IFL Order, has the ability to borrow money from certain other funds advised by BlackRock or BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) or any successor thereto or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock or BFA or any successor thereto (“BlackRock-advised Funds”) pursuant to a master interfund lending agreement (the “Interfund Lending Program”). Under the Interfund Lending Program, a Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes directly from certain other BlackRock-advised Funds (an “Interfund Loan”). All Interfund Loans would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending BlackRock-advised Fund - 13 -
otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments. Each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction as it relates to borrowing would limit the Fund’s ability to borrow under the Interfund Lending Program in certain circumstances. Under the proposed investment restriction regarding borrowing, each applicable Fund would be able to conduct all borrowing from other BlackRock-advised Funds up to the prescribed limits under the Investment Company Act through the Interfund Lending Program, which the Board of itseach applicable Fund believes could provide the Fund access to lower interest rates on such borrowed amounts than those that typically would be payable under short-term loans offered by banks or custodian overdrafts. Proposals 1.C. and 2.C.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing and, for Total Return Fund, to Approve an Amendment to the Bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to Reflect the Amendment of Such Fundamental Investment Restriction. Funds affected: BlackRock Total Return Fund BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio Master Total Return Portfolio CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing and, in the case of Total Return Fund, an amendment to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to make conforming changes to the corresponding Master Fund.fundamental policy in the bylaws, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not borrow money, except that (i) the Fund may borrow from banks (as defined in the Investment Company Act) in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (ii) the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (iii) the Fund may obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, and (iv) the Fund may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Fund may not pledge its assets other than to secure such borrowings or, to the extent permitted by the Fund’s investment policies as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time, in connection with hedging transactions, short sales, when-issued and forward commitment transactions and similar investment strategies. |
- 14 -
| | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund | | The Fund may not borrow money, except that (a) the Fund, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may borrow from banks (as defined in the Investment Company Act), other affiliated investment companies and other persons or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (b) the Fund may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (c) the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, (d) the Fund may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law and (e) the Fund may engage in transactions in mortgage dollar rolls which are accounted for as financings. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, including the rules, regulations and any orders obtained thereunder. | | | BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund | | The Fund may not borrow money, except that (i) the Fund may borrow in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (ii) the Fund may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (iii) the Fund may obtain such short term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities and (iv) the Fund may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Fund may not pledge its assets other than to secure such borrowings or, to the extent permitted by the Fund’s investment policies as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time, in connection with hedging transactions, short sales, when-issued and forward commitment transactions and similar investment strategies. | | | BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. | | The Fund may not borrow money, except that (i) the Fund may borrow from banks (as defined in the Investment Company Act) in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (ii) the Fund may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (iii) the Fund may obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities and (iv) the Fund may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Fund may not pledge its assets other than to secure such borrowings or, to the extent permitted by the Fund’s investment policies as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time, in connection with hedging transactions, short sales, when-issued and forward commitment transactions and similar investment strategies. |
In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund, Inc. state that it is a fundamental policy of BlackRock Bond Fund not to issue senior securities, or borrow amounts in any series of BlackRock Bond Fund in excess of 5% of the total assets of such series, taken at market value at the time of the borrowing, and then only from banks as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. - 15 -
Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each applicable Fund would state that the Fund may not: “borrow money, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act.” For Total Return Fund, it is also proposed that the fundamental policy in BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws relating to borrowing and the issuance of senior securities be replaced with the proposed fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing set out above, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. (As described below in connection with Proposal 1.D., it is also proposed that this same restriction be replaced with the proposed fundamental restriction regarding the issuance of senior securities.) Rationale See the discussion under “Proposals 1.B. and 2.B.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Borrowing and the Issuance of Senior Securities—Rationale” for a discussion of the rationale for amending the current fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing for each applicable Fund other than CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master. For CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master, the proposed fundamental investment restriction is substantially similar to the current investment restriction in the flexibility it provides to CoreAlpha Bond and CoreAlpha Bond Master with respect to borrowing because, as noted above, the reference to the “Investment Company Act” in the proposed investment restriction will include the rules, regulations and any orders obtained thereunder. However, the proposed investment restriction would allow for greater flexibility with respect to borrowing to the extent the Investment Company Act, including any guidance, interpretations or modifications by the Commission, Commission staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, including court interpretations, and exemptive, no-action or other relief or permission, provides greater flexibility in the future. The proposed investment restriction is also intended to align CoreAlpha Bond Fund’s and CoreAlpha Bond Master’s fundamental restriction regarding borrowing with that of certain other BlackRock-advised Funds. In addition, the proposed investment restriction would not affect CoreAlpha Bond Fund’s and CoreAlpha Bond Master’s ability to borrow money through the Interfund Lending Program, as such Funds’ current investment restriction permits such Funds to conduct all borrowing from other BlackRock-advised Funds up to the prescribed limits under the Investment Company Act through the Interfund Lending Program. Proposals 1.D. and 2.D.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding the Issuance of Senior Securities and, for Total Return Fund, to Approve an Amendment to the Bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to Reflect the Amendment of Such Fundamental Investment Restriction. Funds affected: BlackRock Total Return Fund BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. - 16 -
BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio Master Total Return Portfolio CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding the issuance of senior securities and, in the case of Total Return Fund, an amendment to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to make conforming changes to the corresponding fundamental policy in the bylaws, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding the Issuance of Senior Securities The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding the issuance of senior securities: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund, BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate applicable law. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, including the rules, regulations and any orders obtained thereunder. |
In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund state that it is a fundamental policy of BlackRock Bond Fund not to issue senior securities, or borrow amounts in any series of BlackRock Bond Fund in excess of 5% of the total assets of such Portfolio, taken at market value at the time of the borrowing, and then only from banks as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding the Issuance of Senior Securities The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each applicable Fund would state that the Fund may not: “issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate the Investment Company Act.” For Total Return Fund, it is also proposed that the fundamental policy in BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws relating to borrowing and the issuance of senior securities be replaced with the proposed fundamental investment restriction set out above, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders, in addition to the proposed fundamental restriction regarding borrowing described above under Proposal 1.C. Rationale All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy regarding the issuance of senior securities. The Investment Company Act prohibits an open-end investment company from issuing any class of senior security, or selling any class of senior security of which it is the issuer, except that the investment company may borrow from a bank provided that immediately after any such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all of its borrowings. - 17 -
The sole change in the proposed investment restriction for each Fund other than CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master is to reference to the “Investment Company Act,” rather than “applicable law.” This change is intended to provide greater specificity as to any potential limitations on the ability of each Fund to issue senior securities. For CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master, the proposed fundamental investment restriction is substantially similar to the current investment restriction in the flexibility it provides to CoreAlpha Bond and CoreAlpha Bond Master with respect to the issuance of senior securities because, as noted above, the reference to the “Investment Company Act” in the proposed investment restriction will include the rules, regulations and any orders obtained thereunder. However, the proposed investment restriction would allow for greater flexibility with respect to the issuance of senior securities to the extent the Investment Company Act, including any guidance, interpretations or modifications by the Commission, Commission staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, including court interpretations, and exemptive, no-action or other relief or permission from the Commission, Commission staff or other authority, provides such greater flexibility in the future. In addition, the proposed investment restriction is intended to align CoreAlpha Bond Fund’s and CoreAlpha Bond Master’s fundamental restriction regarding the issuance of senior securities with that of certain other BlackRock-advised Funds. Proposals 1.E. and 2.E.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Real Estate. Funds affected: all Funds The Board of each Fund has proposed that shareholders of the applicable Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in real estate. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Real Estate The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in real estate: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio, BATS: Series S Portfolio, BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, except that the Fund may purchase securities of issuers which deal in real estate and may purchase securities which are secured by interests in real estate. | | | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc., BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, except that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund may invest in securities directly or indirectly secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies which invest in real estate or interests therein. |
- 18 -
| | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund | | The Fund may notpurchase, hold or deal in real estate, although the Fund may purchase and sell securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts and mortgage-related securities and may hold and sell real estate acquired by the Fund as a result of the ownership of securities. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business). |
Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Real Estate The proposed investment restrictionof each Fund would state that the Fund may not: “purchase or hold real estate, except the Fund may purchase and hold securities or other instruments that are secured by, or linked to, real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts, mortgage-related securities and securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business, and the Fund may purchase and hold real estate as a result of the ownership of securities or other instruments.” Rationale The Investment Company Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate or investing in real estate mortgage loans; however, a fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act (real estate may be considered illiquid). Investing in real estate may involve risks, including that real estate is generally considered illiquid and may be difficult to value and sell. Owners of real estate may be subject to various liabilities, including environmental liabilities. Currently, each Fund is not permitted to purchase or sell real estate, but it may invest in certain real estate-related securities. As a general rule, each Fund currently does not intend to purchase or sell real estate. However, each Fund wishes to preserve the flexibility to invest in certain real estate-related securities consistent with its investment objective and strategies. The proposed investment restriction would allow each Fund to invest in a potentially greater universe of real estate-related securities than the current investment restriction by permitting investments in securities or other instruments that are secured by, or linked to, real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts, mortgage-related securities and securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business. In addition, the proposed investment restriction would permit each Fund to purchase and hold real estate as a result of the ownership of securities or other instruments. - 19 -
Proposals 1.F. and 2.F.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Underwriting and, for Total Return Fund, to Approve an Amendment to the Bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to Reflect the Amendment of Such Fundamental Investment Restriction. Funds affected: all Funds The Board of each Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting and, in the case of Total Return Fund, an amendment to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to make conforming changes to the corresponding fundamental policy in the bylaws, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Underwriting The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio, BATS: Series S Portfolio, BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 except to the extent that the purchase of obligations directly from the issuer thereof, or the disposition of securities, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and limitations may be deemed to be underwriting. | | | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc., BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not underwrite securities of other issuers except insofar as the Fund technically may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in selling portfolio securities. | | | BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund | | The Fund may notunderwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities by the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriting. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not underwrite securities of other issuers, except to the extent that the purchase of permitted investments directly from the issuer thereof or from an underwriter for an issuer and the later disposition of such securities in accordance with the Fund’s investment program may be deemed to be an underwriting; and provided further, that the purchase by the Fund of securities issued by an open-end management investment company, or a series thereof, with substantially the same investment objective, policies and restrictions as the Fund shall not constitute an underwriting for purposes of this paragraph. |
- 20 -
In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund state that it is a fundamental policy of BlackRock Bond Fund not to underwrite securities of other issuers except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in selling portfolio securities. Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Underwriting The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each Fund would state that the Fund may not: “underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities by the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriting or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.” For Total Return Fund, it is also proposed that the fundamental policy in BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws relating to underwriting be replaced with the proposed fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting set out above, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. Rationale All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy regarding engaging in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers. The Investment Company Act permits a fund to engage in the business of underwriting securities within certain limits. Under its current investment restriction, each Fund is prohibited from underwriting securities issued by others, subject to certain exceptions which vary by Fund. The proposed investment restriction would permit each Fund to underwrite the securities of other issuers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and thus would give each Fund greater flexibility to respond to future investment opportunities, subject to its investment objective and strategies. The current investment restrictions permit certain Funds to sell portfolio securities, even if the Fund technically may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act. This exception refers to a technical provision of the Securities Act which deems certain persons to be “underwriters” if they purchase a security from the issuer and later sell it to the public. Although it is not believed that the application of this Securities Act provision would cause a Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the proposed investment restriction would be interpreted not to prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether it may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an underwriter may be liable for material omissions or misstatements in an issuer’s registration statement or prospectus. Securities purchased from an issuer and not registered for sale under the Securities Act are considered restricted securities. There may be a limited market for these securities. If these securities are registered under the Securities Act, they may then be eligible for sale but participating in the sale may subject the seller to underwriter liability. These risks could apply to the extent a Fund invests in restricted securities. - 21 -
Proposals 1.G. and 2.G.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Commodities. Funds affected: all Funds The Board of each Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in commodities. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Commodities The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in commodities: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction(s) | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio, BATS: Series S Portfolio, BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities except that the Fund may, to the extent appropriate to its investment policies, purchase securities of companies engaging in whole or in part in such activities, may engage in currency transactions and may enter into futures contracts and related options. | | | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund, BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc., BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities or contracts on commodities, except to the extent that a Fund may do so in accordance with applicable law and the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time, and without registering as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act. | | | For BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities except that the Fund may, to the extent appropriate to its investment policies, purchase securities of companies engaging in whole or in part in such activities, may engage in currency transactions and may enter into futures contracts and related options, to the extent permitted by applicable law. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities, provided that (i) currency will not be deemed to be a commodity for purposes of this restriction, (ii) this restriction does not limit the purchase or sale of futures contracts, forward contracts or options, and (iii) this restriction does not limit the purchase or sale of securities or other instruments backed by commodities or the purchase or sale of commodities acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. |
Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing in Commodities The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each Fund would state that the Fund may not: “purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except as permitted by the Investment Company Act.” - 22 -
Rationale The Investment Company Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities or contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). The value of commodities and commodity-related instruments may be extremely volatile and may be affected either directly or indirectly by a variety of factors. There also may be storage charges and risks of loss associated with physical commodities. The current investment restriction of certain Funds requires that the Fund’s purchase and sale of commodities or contracts on commodities not cause it to have to register as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) under the Commodity Exchange Act. Under the current rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), BlackRock, as the investment adviser, and not the Fund, would be the entity required to register as a CPO to the extent a Fund’s commodity investments exceeded certain thresholds. The proposed investment restriction removes the outdated reference to a Fund potentially being required to register as a CPO as a result of its commodity investments. BlackRock would register as a CPO with respect to a Fund if the Fund’s commodity investments require BlackRock to so register under applicable CFTC rules. The proposed investment restriction also references the “Investment Company Act,” rather than “applicable law,” to provide greater specificity as to any potential limitations on each Fund’s ability to purchase or sell commodities and commodity contracts. As noted below in connection with Proposal 1.K., certain Funds are also seeking shareholder approval to eliminate a separate fundamental investment restriction regarding purchasing commodities contracts and investing in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs. Proposals 1.H. and 2.H.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Lending and, for Total Return Fund, to Approve an Amendment to the Bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to Reflect the Amendment of Such Fundamental Investment Restriction. Funds affected: all Funds The Board of each Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding lending and, in the case of Total Return Fund, an amendment to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to make conforming changes to the corresponding fundamental policy in the bylaws, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. - 23 -
Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Lending The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding lending: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio, BATS: Series S Portfolio, BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not make loans, except that the Fund may purchase and hold debt instruments and enter into repurchase agreements in accordance with its investment objective and policies and may lend portfolio securities. | | | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not make loans to other persons, except that the acquisition of bonds, debentures or other corporate debt securities and investment in government obligations, commercial paper, pass-through instruments, certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements or any similar instruments shall not be deemed to be the making of a loan, and except further that the Fund may lend its portfolio securities, provided that the lending of portfolio securities may be made only in accordance with applicable law and the guidelines set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time. | | | BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund | | The Fund may notmake loans, except through (a) the purchase of debt obligations in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, (b) repurchase agreements with banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions, (c) loans of securities as permitted by applicable law, and (d) loans to affiliates of the Fund to the extent permitted by law. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not make loans to other parties, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, including the rules, regulations and any orders obtained thereunder. For the purposes of this limitation, entering into repurchase agreements, lending securities and acquiring any debt securities are not deemed to be the making of loans. | | | BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund and BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio | | The Fund may not make loans to other persons, except (i) that the acquisition of bonds, debentures or other corporate debt securities and investment in government obligations, commercial paper, pass-through instruments, certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements, purchase and sale contracts or any similar instruments shall not be deemed to be the making of a loan; (ii) that the Fund may lend its portfolio securities, provided that the lending of portfolio securities may be made only in accordance with applicable law and the guidelines set forth in the Fund’s Registration Statement, as it may be amended from time to time; and (iii) as may otherwise be permitted by an exemptive order issued to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
- 24 -
In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund state that it is a fundamental policy of BlackRock Bond Fund not to: | 1. | make loans, except to lend portfolio securities as provided immediately below and except through the purchase of obligations in private placements (the purchase of publicly-traded obligations not being considered the making of a loan). |
| 2. | lend portfolio securities of any series of BlackRock Bond Fund in excess of 20% of the total assets of such series, taken at market value at the time of the loan, and provided that such loans shall be made in accordance with guidelines set forth in the BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws. |
Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Lending The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each Fund would state that the Fund may not: “make loans to the extent prohibited by the Investment Company Act.” For Total Return Fund, it is also proposed that the fundamental policies in BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws relating to lending be replaced with the proposed fundamental investment restriction regarding lending set out above, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. Rationale The Investment Company Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, Commission staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. Each Fund’s current fundamental restriction regarding lending generally prohibits the making of loans, but specifies that investments in certain debt instruments, repurchase agreements and similar instruments, as applicable, and the lending of portfolio securities are not subject to the restriction. The proposed investment restriction will permit each Fund to make loans, unless prohibited by the Investment Company Act, thus providing potentially greater flexibility. Making loans involves risks. In determining whether to make a direct loan, a Fund will rely primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower and/or any collateral for payment of interest and repayment of principal. Among other things, in making a direct loan, a Fund is exposed to the risk that the borrower may default or become insolvent and, consequently, that the Fund will lose money on the loan. Furthermore, direct loans may subject a Fund to liquidity and interest rate risk and certain direct loans may be deemed illiquid. Direct loans are not publicly traded and may not have a secondary market. The lack of a secondary market for direct loans may have an adverse impact on the ability of a Fund to dispose of a direct loan and/or to value the direct loan. If Proposals 1.H. and 2.H., as applicable, are approved by shareholders of Total Return Fund, Master Total Return, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund, BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio and BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc., such Funds may utilize the additional flexibility provided by the proposed investment restriction to engage in direct lending in the near term. Each Fund, except BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund, CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund and BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio, is not permitted to lend through the Interfund Lending Program under its current investment restriction, but, subject to prior Board approval to participate as lenders in the Interfund Lending Program, - 25 -
would be permitted to lend through the Interfund Lending Program under the proposed investment restriction regarding lending. Under the Interfund Lending Program, the Funds would be able to lend money for temporary purposes directly to certain other BlackRock-advised Funds. All Interfund Loans would consist only of uninvested cash reserves that the lending BlackRock-advised Fund otherwise would invest in short-term repurchase agreements or other short-term instruments. The Board of each Fund believes that the ability to borrow and lend between and among the BlackRock-advised Funds, subject to compliance policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the IFL Order, would benefit both the borrower and lender. The Board of each Fund believes that short-term cash loans made directly to other BlackRock-advised Funds could earn interest at a rate higher than the Funds otherwise would obtain from investing its cash in repurchase agreements or certain other short-term money market instruments. The current fundamental restriction regarding lending of each of BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund, CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio and BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio provides an additional exception for loans permitted by a Commission exemptive order. BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund’s current fundamental restriction regarding lending provides an exception for loans to affiliates of the Fund to the extent permitted by law. Such exceptions currently permits each of BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund, CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund and BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio to lend money to certain other BlackRock-advised through the Interfund Lending Program. The proposed investment restriction would not affect such Funds’ ability to lend money through the Interfund Lending Program. Proposals 1.I. and 2.I.—To Approve the Amendment of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Diversification. Funds affected: BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve an amendment to the fundamental investment restriction regarding diversification. - 26 -
Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Diversification The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding diversification: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Global Long/Short Credit Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio and BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase securities of any one issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities or certificates of deposit for any such securities) if more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets would (taken at current value) be invested in the securities of such issuer, or more than 10% of the issuer’s outstanding voting securities would be owned by the Fund or the registrant of which the Fund is a series, except that up to 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may (taken at current value) be invested without regard to these limitations. For purposes of this limitation, a security is considered to be issued by the entity (or entities) whose assets and revenues back the security. A guarantee of a security shall not be deemed to be a security issued by the guarantors when the value of all securities issued and guaranteed by the guarantor, and owned by the Fund, does not exceed 10% of the value of the Fund’s total assets. | | | BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in the securities of any one issuer or the Fund’s ownership would be more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, provided that this restriction does not limit the Fund’s investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or investments in securities of other investment companies. |
Proposed Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Diversification The proposed fundamental investment restrictionof each applicable Fund would state that the Fund may not: “make any investment inconsistent with the Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act.” Rationale The Investment Company Act requires each management investment company to state whether it is “diversified” or “non-diversified,” as those terms are defined in the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, a “diversified company” must meet the following requirements: at least 75% of the value of its total assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of its total assets and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. A “non-diversified company” means any management investment company other than a diversified company. No change is being made to each applicable Fund’s designation as a diversified company. Each applicable Fund’s existing current investment restriction regarding diversification generally reflects the Investment Company Act as it is in effect today. The proposed investment restriction would directly tie each applicable Fund’s policy to the Investment Company Act definition of “diversified company.” Further, if the requirements for diversification under the Investment Company Act were to change, each applicable Fund would be able to take advantage of that change without seeking shareholder approval. - 27 -
Proposals 1.J. and 2.J.—To Approve the Elimination of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing for the Purpose of Exercising Control or Management and, for Total Return Fund, to Approve an Amendment to the Bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to Reflect the Elimination of Such Fundamental Investment Restriction. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Total Return Fund BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc. BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio Master Total Return Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction regarding investing for the purpose of exercising control or management and, in the case of Total Return Fund, an amendment to the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to eliminate the corresponding fundamental policy from the bylaws. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing for the Purpose of Exercising Control or Management The following table sets out each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding investing for the purpose of exercising control or management: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio, BATS: Series S Portfolio, BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not purchase securities of companies for the purpose of exercising control. | | | BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund | | The Fund may not make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management. Investments by the Fund in wholly owned investment entities created under the laws of |
- 28 -
| | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | | | certain countries will not be deemed the making of investments for the purpose of exercising control or management. | | | BlackRock Total Return Fund, BlackRock Strategic Global Bond Fund, Inc., BlackRock U.S. Mortgage Portfolio and Master Total Return Portfolio | | The Fund may not make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management. |
In addition, the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund state that it is a fundamental policy of BlackRock Bond Fund not to make investments for the purpose of exercising control over, or management of, any issuer. Rationale There is no requirement under the Investment Company Act that a fund have a fundamental restriction regarding investing for the purpose of exercising control or management. The fundamental restriction was derived from state laws that have been preempted by the federal securities laws. In order to maximize the investment flexibility of each Fund, this restriction is proposed to be eliminated. Proposal 1.K.—To Approve the Elimination of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Purchasing Commodities Contracts and Investing in Oil, Gas or Mineral Exploration or Development Programs. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction regarding purchasing commodities contracts and investing in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Purchasing Commodities Contracts and Investing in Oil, Gas or Mineral Exploration or Development Programs Under each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding purchasing commodities contracts and investing in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development program, the Fund may not purchase or sell commodity contracts, or invest in oil, gas or mineral - 29 -
exploration or development programs, except that the Fund may, to the extent appropriate to its investment policies, purchase securities of companies engaging in whole or in part in such activities and may enter into futures contracts and related options. Rationale The Investment Company Act does not prohibit a fund from purchasing commodities contracts. The risks of purchasing commodities contracts are generally similar to those of purchasing commodities, which are discussed above in connection with Proposal 1.G. With respect to investing in oil, gas or mineral explorations or development programs, this fundamental investment restriction was originally adopted to comply with certain state securities laws and regulations that have since been preempted by the federal securities laws. Therefore, eliminating this investment restriction will provide an applicable Fund with additional investment flexibility to engage in otherwise permissible activities. Investments in oil, gas, and other mineral leases, rights or royalty contracts, and in securities which derive their value in part from such instruments, entail certain risks, including price volatility, risks of political and social disturbances, and foreign risks such as the existence of multinational cartels and competition. To the extent that an applicable Fund were to ever invest in such programs, it would remain subject to any applicable Investment Company Act limitations, including limits on the Fund’s ability to purchase illiquid or restricted securities in Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act. Proposal 1.L.—To Approve the Elimination of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Acquiring Other Investment Companies. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction regarding acquiring other investment companies. Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Acquiring Other Investment Companies Under each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding acquiring other investment companies, the Fund may not acquire any other investment company or investment company security except in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of assets or where otherwise permitted by the Investment Company Act. - 30 -
Rationale Each applicable Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in other investment companies was based on requirements no longer applicable to open-end funds. Moreover, in the absence of this policy, each applicable Fund is still subject to the limitations on investments in other investment companies imposed on all open-end funds under Section 12(d) of the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder. In general, under Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, an investment company (“Acquiring Fund”) cannot acquire shares of another investment company (“Acquired Fund”) if, after the acquisition, (i) the Acquiring Fund would own more than 3% of the Acquired Fund’s securities; (ii) more than 5% of the total assets of the Acquiring Fund would be invested in the Acquired Fund; and (iii) more than 10% of the total assets of the Acquiring Fund would be invested in other investment companies (including the Acquired Fund). Therefore, eliminating this fundamental investment restriction will provide a Fund with additional investment flexibility to engage in otherwise permissible activities under the Investment Company Act, which was already reflected in the current fundamental investment restriction. To the extent a Fund invests a portion of its assets in shares of other investment companies, the Fund also will generally bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses incurred by the purchased investment company in addition to its own expenses. Proposal 1.M.—To Approve the Elimination of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Writing and Selling Options, Straddles and Spreads. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction regarding writing and selling options, straddles and spreads. - 31 -
Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Writing and Selling Options, Straddles and Spreads The following table sets out each Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding writing and selling options, straddles and spreads: | | | Applicable Funds | | Current Fundamental Investment Restriction | BATS: Series C Portfolio, BATS: Series M Portfolio and BATS: Series S Portfolio | | The Fund may not write or sell put and interest rate options, call options, straddles, spreads, or any combination thereof, except for transactions in options on securities and securities indices, futures contracts and options on futures contracts and currencies. | | | BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund, BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio, BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio, BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio and BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio | | The Fund may not write or sell put options, call options, straddles, spreads, or any combination thereof, except for transactions in options on securities and securities indices, futures contracts and options on futures contracts. | | | BlackRock Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio | | The Fund may not write or sell put options, call options, straddles, spreads, or any combination thereof, except for transactions in options on securities and securities indices, futures contracts and options on futures contracts and currencies, to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
Rationale The Investment Company Act does not require a fund to adopt a fundamental investment restriction regarding investment in options, straddles and spreads, except to the extent that these transactions may result in the creation of senior securities. If each applicable Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding writing and selling options, straddles and spreads is eliminated, the Fund will remain subject to the Investment Company Act’s limitations on, and the Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding, the issuance of senior securities. Moreover, each Fund would make any investments in such instruments consistent with the disclosure in its prospectus and/or statement of additional information. Proposal 1.N.—To Approve the Elimination of the Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding the Purchase of Securities on Margin and Short Sales. Funds affected: BATS: Series C Portfolio BATS: Series M Portfolio BATS: Series S Portfolio BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexible Dynamic Bond Portfolio BlackRock GNMA Portfolio BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio BlackRock Low Duration Bond Portfolio The Board of each applicable Fund has proposed that shareholders of the Fund approve the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction regarding the purchase of securities on margin and short sales. - 32 -
Current Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding the Purchase of Securities on Margin and Short Sales Under each applicable Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction regarding the purchase of securities on margin and short sales, the Fund may not purchase securities on margin, make short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that (a) this investment limitation shall not apply to the Fund’s transactions in futures contracts and related options or the Fund’s sale of securities short against the box, and (b) the Fund may obtain short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Rationale A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. Short sales expose a fund to the risk that the fund will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the fund. Other risks and costs to a fund of engaging in short sales include that the fund may be required to sell securities it would otherwise retain in order to raise cash to replace the borrowed securities, thus forgoing possible gains and/or selling at inopportune times, as well as incurring transaction costs. Under the Investment Company Act, a fund is restricted from making short sales unless the sale is “against the box” and the securities sold are segregated, or the fund’s obligation to deliver the securities sold short is “covered” by segregating cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the market value of the securities sold short. A sale is not made “against the box” if a fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. Losses from short sales can theoretically be unlimited, although, as noted above, under the Investment Company Act, a fund is required to “cover” its exposure under any short position. If Proposal 1.N. is approved by shareholders of BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, the Fund may utilize the additional flexibility provided by the elimination of the Fund’s current investment restriction to engage in short selling in the near term. Mutual funds are not required to have a fundamental policy regarding engaging in short sales. Each applicable Fund believes this fundamental policy is unduly restrictive. There may be circumstances in which Fund management believes that a short sale is in the best interests of shareholders. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, each applicable Fund will be able to engage in short sales subject to the Fund’s other investment policies and applicable law. Each Fund would be permitted to engage in short selling or maintain short positions to the extent consistent with the disclosure in its prospectus and/or statement of additional information. Each applicable Fund will be subject to any limitations on engaging in short sales imposed by the Board or BlackRock from time to time, as well as the Fund’s other investment policies. In addition, the Investment Company Act does not require that a fund have a fundamental policy relating to purchasing securities on margin. Margin purchases involve borrowing money from a broker to purchase securities. The risks associated with purchasing securities on margin are generally similar to those of borrowing money. For a discussion of those risks, please see Proposals 1.B and 1.C., as applicable. Each applicable Fund believes that this fundamental policy is unnecessary and may be unduly restrictive. The Funds’ ability to borrow is governed by the fundamental policy on borrowing discussed in Proposals 1.B. and 1.C., as applicable. To the extent that purchasing securities on margin may be considered the issuance of a senior security, - 33 -
the issuance of senior securities is governed by the fundamental policy discussed in Proposal 1.B. and 1.D., as applicable. The applicable Funds believe that these other fundamental policies provide adequate protection with respect to purchasing securities on margin. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the applicable funds will be permitted to purchase securities on margin subject to the Funds’ other investment policies and applicable law. EACH FUND’S BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE “FOR” PROPOSALS 1.A. THROUGH 1.N., AS APPLICABLE. THE BOARD OF EACH OF BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND AND BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND AND BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND, RESPECTIVELY, PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS “FOR” PROPOSALS 2.A. THROUGH 2.J., AS APPLICABLE. - 34 -
PROPOSALS 3 AND 4 — TO APPROVE THE ELIMINATION OF THE NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION REGARDING INVESTING FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXERCISING CONTROL OR MANAGEMENT OF EACH OF BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND AND COREALPHA BOND MASTER PORTFOLIO SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND AND COREALPHA BOND MASTER PORTFOLIO VOTING SEPARATELY WITH RESPECT TO THEIR FUND The purpose of Proposal 3 is to approve the elimination of the non-fundamental investment restriction regarding investing for shareholdersthe purpose of Balanced Capitalexercising control or management of each of BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund (previously defined as “CoreAlpha Bond Fund”) and CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio (previously defined as “CoreAlpha Bond Master”), which non-fundamental restriction requires shareholder approval to be eliminated. The purpose of Proposal 4 is to provide voting instructions to CoreAlpha Bond Fund with respect to how, Balanced Capital Fund should vote, as a beneficial owner of CoreAlpha Bond Master, Large Cap Series LLC, for the election of fifteen Board members to the Board of Master Large Cap Series LLC. Although Balanced Capital Fund is not an Equity-Liquidity Fund and will not be voting to elect the Board of Balanced Capital Fund at this time, it invests in the Master Large Cap Core Portfolio of Master Large Cap Series LLC and is requesting instructions from its shareholders with respect to how Balanced CapitalCoreAlpha Bond Fund should vote in connection with the proposal to approve the elimination of the non-fundamental investment restriction regarding investing for the electionpurpose of the Board Nominees to the Boardexercising control or management of CoreAlpha Bond Master, Large Cap Series LLC.as contemplated by Proposal 3. Current Non-Fundamental Investment Restriction Regarding Investing for the Purpose of Exercising Control or Management NomineesUnder each applicable Fund’s current non-fundament investment restriction regarding investing for Eachthe purpose of exercising control or management, the Fund Board. The Boardmay not make investments for the purpose of each Fund currently consists of 15 Board Members, 13 of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds (as defined in the Investment Company Act) (the “Independent Board Members”). Two current Board Members, Herbert I. London and Toby Rosenblatt, are scheduled to retire fromexercising control or management. Though this investment restriction is “non-fundamental,” the Board of each applicable Fund as of December 31, 2015, and therefore arehas adopted a policy whereby the Board agrees to not standing for re-election. Another current Board Member, Frank J. Fabozzi, is scheduled to resign as a Board Memberchange or eliminate such investment restriction in the future without the approval of the Equity-Liquidity Funds in advanceholders of a majority of the Meeting and thereforeFund’s outstanding voting securities.
Rationale There is not standingno requirement under the Investment Company Act that a fund have a restriction on investing for election. It is anticipated that after his resignation, Mr. Fabozzi will serve asthe purpose of exercising control or management. In 2019, FDP BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund (the “Target Fund”), formerly a consultant toseries of FDP Series II, Inc., was reorganized into CoreAlpha Bond Fund. The Target Fund had a fundamental investment restriction against making investments for the Boards throughpurpose of exercising control or management. At the first quarter of 2016 and will receive a fee for such services. Alltime of the Board Nominees, other than John M. Perlowskireorganization, CoreAlpha Bond Fund did not have a corresponding investment restriction. In connection with the reorganization, CoreAlpha Bond Fund and Barbara Novick, areCoreAlpha Bond Master each adopted a non-fundamental policy providing that it may not “interested persons”“make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management” effective upon the closing of the Funds (the “Independent Board Nominees”). Each Board Nominee elected at the meeting will serve until his or her successor is elected or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The Board recommends a vote“FOR” the election of David O. Beim, Susan J. Carter, Neil A. Cotty, Collette Chilton, Matina S. Horner, Rodney D. Johnson, Cynthia A. Montgomery, Barbara Novick, John M. Perlowski, Joseph P. Platt, Jr., Robert C. Robb, Jr., Mark Stalnecker, Kenneth L. Urish, Claire A. Walton and Frederick W. Winter (collectively, the “Board Nominees”). All of the Board Nominees other than Susan J. Carter, Neil A. Cotty and Claire A. Walton currently serve as Board Members of the Funds, and all except, Susan J. Carter, Collette Chilton, Neil A. Cotty, Barbara Novick, John M. Perlowski, Mark Stalnecker and Claire A. Walton were previously elected by shareholders of the Funds. The Board Nominees were recommended by the Independent Board Members.
Generally, Independent Board Members retire from the Board as of December 31 of the year in which they turn 75. The Board may determine, on a case-by-case basis, to extend the terms of Independent Board Members. The Boards of the Funds have unanimously approved extending the mandatory retirement age for Matina S. Horner and David O. Beim until December 31, 2016, which the Boards believe is in the best interest of shareholders.
To vote for the Board Nominees, please vote by telephone or via the Internet, as described in the proxy card, or date and sign the enclosed proxy card(s) and return the proxy card(s) promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you owned shares in more than one Fund or Portfolio as of December 11, 2015, and/or if your Fund or Portfolio is organized as a “feeder” in a “master/feeder structure”, you may receive more than one proxy card. Each of the Board Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a Board Member if elected.
Board Members’/Nominees’ Biographical Information. Please refer to the below table, which identifies the Board Members, including the Board Nominees, and sets forth certain biographical information about the Board Members, including the Board Nominees, for all of the Funds. Each Board Nominee was nominated by the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Governance Committee”) ofreorganization. In addition, the Board of each respectiveof CoreAlpha Bond and CoreAlpha Bond Master adopted a policy, effective upon the closing of the reorganization, whereby the Board agreed to not change or eliminate such investment restriction in the future without obtaining shareholder approval. In order to maximize the investment flexibility of each Fund, this restriction is proposed to be eliminated.

THE BOARD OF EACH OF COREALPHA BOND FUND AND COREALPHA BOND MASTER RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE APPLICABLE FUND VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3. THE BOARD OF BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKROCK COREALPHA BOND FUND, PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS “FOR” PROPOSAL 4. - 36 -
PROPOSAL 5 — TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND, INC. TO REMOVE FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES AND ALL REFERENCES THERETO SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKROCK TOTAL RETURN FUND VOTING Article VIII, Section 1 and Exhibit E of the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund currently include fundamental policies of BlackRock Bond Fund and references to such fundamental policies. Currently, the sole series of BlackRock Bond Fund is BlackRock Total Return Fund (previously defined as “Total Return Fund”). Certain of these fundamental policies are stated in Total Return Fund’s statement of additional information. BlackRock Bond Fund is not required to include its fundamental policies in its bylaws under the Investment Company Act or Maryland law. Accordingly, it is proposed that the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund be amended to remove fundamental policies of the series of BlackRock Bond Fund and all references thereto. Such amendment requires approval of shareholders of Total Return Fund. Rodney D. Johnson was selected As discussed above, Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H. include amendments to servethe bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund to reflect the amendment or elimination of certain fundamental investment restrictions of Total Return Fund, subject to approval of Proposal 5 by Total Return Fund’s shareholders. In the event that Proposal 5 is approved by Total Return Fund’s shareholders in addition to Proposal 1, rather than BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws being amended pursuant to Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H., all fundamental policies of BlackRock Bond Fund and references thereto will be removed from the bylaws of BlackRock Bond Fund. If shareholders do not approve Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and/or 1.H. but do approve Proposal 5, the fundamental policies and references thereto will be removed from BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws. If shareholders of Total Return Fund do not approve Proposal 5 but do approve Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and/or 1.H., then BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws will be amended to reflect the amended fundamental investment restriction or the elimination of the fundamental investment restriction, as applicable. If none of Proposals 1.A., 1.C., 1.D., 1.F. and 1.H. and Proposal 5 is approved by Total Return Fund’s shareholders, no changes will be made to BlackRock Bond Fund’s bylaws. THE BOARD OF BLACKROCK BOND FUND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF TOTAL RETURN FUND VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 5. - 37 -
PROPOSAL 6 — TO APPROVE A CHANGE IN BLACKROCK LONG-HORIZON EQUITY FUND’S STATUS FROM DIVERSIFIED TO NON-DIVERSIFIED AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKROCK LONG-HORIZON EQUITY FUND VOTING BlackRock Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s (previously defined as the Chair“Long-Horizon Equity Fund”) Statement of each Board.Additional Information states that under its fundamental investment restrictions, Long-Horizon Equity Fund may not make any investment inconsistent with such Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act. In order to be classified as diversified under the Investment Company Act, Long-Horizon Equity Fund is required to invest so that at least 75% of the value of such Fund’s assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the total assets of such Fund and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. A fund that is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act is not required to comply with these investment criteria. Because a non-diversified fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely. BlackRock, Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s investment manager, and the Board of such Fund (the “Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board”) have reviewed such Fund’s investment objective, investment strategies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies. BlackRock and the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board have determined that it is appropriate to change such Fund’s diversification classification from diversified to non-diversified. This would be accomplished by eliminating Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction that such Fund may not make any investment inconsistent with such Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act. Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s current diversification policy is fundamental, which means that it may not be changed without shareholder approval. If Proposal 6 is approved, Long-Horizon Equity Fund will be classified as non-diversified. In conjunction with the diversification classification change, it is the intention of the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board also to rename such Fund “BlackRock Unconstrained Equity Fund” and change such Fund’s investment objective, investment process, principal investment strategies, portfolio management team and benchmark index. The specific changes to Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s diversification classification, name, investment objective, investment process, principal investment strategies, portfolio management team and benchmark index are set out in the following table: | | | | | | | Current | | Proposed | Diversification Classification | | The Fund may not make any investment inconsistent with the Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act. | | Eliminate current diversification policy under the Investment Company Act. |

| | To provide high total investment return | | To seek to achieve long-term capital growth | Investment Process | | In making investment decisions, Fund management conducts bottom-up, company-specific, research to identify stocks it believes have the potential to produce attractive total returns over a long-term investment horizon.

Fund management may select stocks for the portfolio without regard to the presence or absence of the stock in the Fund’s benchmark, geographic location or market capitalization. | | Investment decisions will be based on fundamental, company-specific research to identify and select equity and equity-related securities globally that, in the opinion of Fund management, have the potential to produce attractive long-term capital growth. Fund management research looks at a range of factors when selecting companies in which to invest including but not limited to an analysis of their competitive advantages, the impact of structural (such as economic, demographic or technological) changes, the quality of management teams and their financial discipline. In addition, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”), the Fund’s investment manager, seeks to screen out investments in certain issuers or industries based on certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria |

The Boards believe that each Independent Board Member satisfied, at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Board Member, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. Furthermore, in determining that a particular Board Member was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Board Member, the Boards have considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling.

Board Leadership Structure and Oversight
Each Board currently consists of 15 Board Members, 13 of whom are Independent Board Members. The investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act that are advised by the Advisor or its affiliates (the “BlackRock-advised Funds”) are organized into the BlackRock Equity-Liquidity Complex, another complex of open-end funds, one complex of closed-end funds and one complex of exchange-traded funds (each, a “BlackRock Fund Complex”). The Funds are included in the BlackRock Equity-Liquidity Complex.
The Boards have overall responsibility for the oversight of the Funds. The Chair of each Board is an Independent Board Member, and the Chair of each Board committee (each, a “Committee”) is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has five standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight and Contract Committee and an Executive Committee. The Boards do not have a compensation
committee because the executive officers of the Funds, other than the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), do not receive any direct compensation from the Funds and the CCO’s compensation is comprehensively reviewed by the Boards. The role of the Chair of the Boards is to preside at all meetings of the Boards, and to act as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Board Members between meetings. The Chair of each Committee performs a similar role with respect to the Committee. The Chair of the Boards or the Chair of a Committee may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Boards or the Committees from time to time. The Independent Board Members meet regularly outside the presence of Fund management, in executive session or with other service providers to the Funds. The Boards have regular in person meetings five times a year, including a meeting to consider the approval of the Funds’ investment management agreements, and if necessary, may hold special meetings before the next regular meeting. Each Committee of a Board meets regularly to conduct the oversight functions delegated to that Committee by the Board and reports its findings to the Board. Each Board and each standing Committee conducts annual assessments of their oversight function and structure. Each Board has determined that the Board’s leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise independent judgment over management and to allocate areas of responsibility among Committees and the full Board to enhance effective oversight.
The Boards have engaged the Advisor to manage the Funds on a day-to-day basis. Each Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisor, other service providers, the operations of each Fund and associated risksmanaged in accordance with its current diversification classification. Any future changes to such Fund’s diversification classification will continue to require shareholder approval. In addition, the provisionschanges discussed above to the name, investment process, principal investment strategies, portfolio management team and benchmark index of Long-Horizon Equity Fund will not take effect if Proposal 6 is not approved because certain of these changes are incompatible with the Investment Company Act, state law,current diversification classification of such Fund. In the event that Proposal 6 is not approved by Long-Horizon Equity Fund shareholders, BlackRock and the Long-Horizon Equity Fund Board may determine to make other applicable laws, each Fund’s charter, and each Fund’schanges to the investment objective(s) and strategies. The Boards review, on an ongoing basis, the Funds’ performance, operations,process and investment strategies of such Fund, among other potential changes, that are compatible with its current diversification classification and techniques. The Boards also conduct reviews ofdo not require shareholder approval.
A supplement to Long-Horizon Equity Fund’s prospectus, dated August 5, 2021 (the “Supplement”), has been filed with the AdvisorCommission and its role in running the operations of the Funds. Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds is the responsibility of the Advisor or other service providers (dependingavailable on the nature of the risk), subject to the supervision of the Advisor.BlackRock website at www.blackrock.com. The Funds are subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. While there are a number of risk management functions performed by the Advisor or other service providers, as applicable, it is not possible to eliminateSupplement, which includes further details regarding all of the risks applicablechanges to the Funds. Risk oversight is partFund discussed above (subject to shareholder approval of the Boards’ general oversightProposal 6) may be obtained free of the Funds and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. The Boards, directly or through Committees, also review reports from, among others, management, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds, the Advisor, and internal auditors for the Advisor or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks facedcharge by the Funds and management’s or the service provider’s risk functions. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Board Members and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of the Funds’ activities and associated risks. The Boards have appointed a Chief Compliance Officer, who oversees the implementation and testing of the Funds’ compliance program and reports regularly to the Boards regarding compliance matters for the Funds and their service providers. The Independent Board Members have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.calling (800) 441-7762.

The Board of each Fund has established the following standing committees:
Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee of each Board (the “Audit Committee”) are Kenneth L. Urish (Chair), Frank J. Fabozzi, Herbert I. London, Mark Stalnecker and Frederick W. Winter, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to approve, and recommend to the full Board for approval, the selection, retention, termination and compensation of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”) and to oversee the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s work. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation, to (1) evaluate the qualifications and independence of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; (2) approve all audit engagement terms and fees for the Fund; (3) review the conduct and results of each independent audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements; (4) review any issues raised by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm or Fund management regarding the accounting or financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund and the internal controls of the Fund and certain service providers; (5) oversee the performance of the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; (6) review and discuss with management and the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm the performance and findings of the Fund’s internal auditors; (7) discuss with Fund management its policies regarding risk assessment and risk management as such matters relate to the Fund’s financial reporting and controls; (8) resolve any disagreements between Fund management and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding financial reporting; and (9) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Audit Committee. The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.
Governance and Nominating Committee. The members of the Governance and Nominating Committee of each Board (the “Governance Committee”) are Matina S. Horner (Chair), Collette Chilton, Herbert I. London, Cynthia A. Montgomery, Robert C. Robb, Jr. and Toby Rosenblatt, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The principal responsibilities of the Governance Committee are to (1) identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Board Members of the Fund and recommend Independent Board Member nominees for election by shareholders or appointment by the Board; (2) advise the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees (other than the Audit Committee); (3) oversee periodic self-assessments of the Board and committees of the Board (other than the Audit Committee); (4) review and make recommendations regarding Independent Board Member compensation; (5) monitor corporate governance matters and develop appropriate recommendations to the Board; (6) act as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures (other than the Audit Committee) and codes of ethics as they relate to Independent Board Members; and (7) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee of each
Board may consider nominations for the office of Board Member made by Fund shareholders as it deems appropriate. Each Governance Committee may consider nominees recommended by a shareholder. Fund shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee to the Governance Committee in the future should send such recommendation to the Secretary of the Fund that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Governance Committee, which is attached to this proxy statement asAppendix K.
The Governance Committee of each Board has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, skills and attributes that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Board Member candidates (the “Statement of Policy”). The Board believes that each Independent Board Member satisfied, at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Board Member, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. Furthermore, in determining that a particular Independent Board Member was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Board Member, each Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Independent Board Members have balanced and diverse experience, skills, attributes and qualifications, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the Funds and protecting the interests of shareholders. Among the attributes common to all Independent Board Members are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with each Fund’s investment adviser, sub-advisers, other service providers, counsel and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Board Members.
The Governance Committee of each Board seeks to identify individuals to serve on the Board who have a diverse range of viewpoints, qualifications, experiences, backgrounds and skill sets so that the Board will be better suited to fulfill its responsibility of overseeing the Fund’s activities. In so doing, the Governance Committee reviews the size of the Board, the ages of the current Board Members and their tenure on the Board, and the skills, background and experiences of the Board Members in light of the issues facing the Fund in determining whether one or more new Board Members should be added to the Board. Each Board as a group strives to achieve diversity in terms of gender, race and geographic location. The Governance Committee of each Board believes that the Board Members as a group possess the array of skills, experiences and backgrounds necessary to guide the Fund. The Board Members’ biographies included in this Proxy Statement highlight the diversity and breadth of skills, qualifications and expertise that the Board Members bring to the Funds. The Governance Committee may, but is not required to, engage the services of a third party firm at the relevant Funds’ expense to identify and assist in evaluating potential Board candidates.
Further, each Board has adopted Board Member qualification requirements, including: (i) age limits; (ii) limits on service on other boards; (iii) restrictions on relationships with investment advisers other than BlackRock; and (iv) character and fitness requirements. In addition to not being an “interested person” of the Fund as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, each Independent Board Member may not be or have certain relationships with a shareholder owning five percent or more of the Fund’s voting securities or owning other percentage ownership interests in investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act.

The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Compliance Committee.
Performance Oversight Committee. The members of the Performance Oversight and Contract Committee (the “Performance Oversight Committee”) of each Board are David O. Beim (Chair), Collette Chilton, Frank J. Fabozzi, Toby Rosenblatt, Mark Stalnecker and Frederick W. Winter, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The Performance Oversight Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Fund’s investment performance relative to its agreed-upon performance objectives and to assist the Independent Board Members in their consideration of investment advisory agreements. The Performance Oversight Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation, to (1) review information on, and make recommendations to the full Board in respect of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and practices; (2) review information on the Fund’s investment performance; (3) review information on appropriate benchmarks and competitive universes and unusual or exceptional investment matters; (4) review personnel and other resources devoted to management of the Fund and evaluate the nature and quality of information furnished to the Performance Oversight Committee; (5) recommend any required action regarding changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, fund mergers or liquidations; (6) request and review information on the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the shareholders; (7) make recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements; and (8) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Performance Oversight Committee.

Approval of Proposal 1 will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 for Funds (identified inAppendix A) which require a majoritycertain of the outstanding shares present, in person orapplicable Master Fund’s fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions as contemplated by proxy. However, abstentionsProposal 2.A through 2.J. and broker non-votes will not have an effect on Proposal 1 for Funds that require a plurality or a majority of the votes cast. A vote requiring a plurality to elect Board Nominees for a Fund means that the Board Nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected to fill the available positions for that Fund. 4, as applicable. Each Feeder Fund will vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund in which it invests in accordance with the voting instructions received from theits shareholders of the Feeder Fund and will vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund with respect to which it has not received voting instructions in the same proportion as the interests for which it has received instructions from other shareholders (this is called “proportional voting” or “echo voting”). TheEach Feeder Funds doFund does not require that a specified number of shareholders submit voting instructions before a Feedereach such Fund will vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund at the Meeting. Because each Feeder Fund will use proportional voting to vote its interests in its correspondingthe applicable Master Fund, a small number of shareholders could determine how aeach Feeder Fund votes if other shareholders fail to vote. Please note that, as All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, will be voted at the Master Funds may have shareholders besides the Feeder Funds, it is possible that a matter may be approved by the Master Funds, even if it is not approved by Feeder Fund shareholders. Balanced Capital Fund will vote its interests in Master Large Cap Series LLCMeeting in accordance with the voting instructions received from its shareholders, and will vote interests in Master Large Cap Series LLC with respect to which it has not received voting instructions indirections on the same proportion asproxies; if no direction is indicated, the interests for which it has received instructions from other shareholders. Balanced Capital Fund does not require that a specified number of shareholders submit voting instructions before Balanced Capital Fund will vote its interests in Master Large Cap Series LLC at the Meeting. Because Balanced Capital Fund will use proportional voting to vote its interests in Master Large Cap Series LLC, a small number of shareholders could determine how Balanced Capital Fund votes if other shareholders fail to vote.
If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution, or variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy), and if you return a properly executed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on Proposal 1, your shares will be voted “FOR”and voting instructions will be submitted, as applicable, in accordance with the Board Nominees inrecommendation of the Boards “FOR” approval of Proposal 1, and, if applicable, “FOR” the Board Nominees in Proposal 2, and/or Proposal 3.3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5 and Proposal 6, as applicable.
The Funds expect that broker-dealer- 45 -
Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Proposal before the Meeting. Shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted shall be counted as present for purposes of determining whether the necessary quorum of shareholders of a Fund exists. Broker-dealer firms will not be permitted to grant voting authority with respect to shares for which no instructions have been received. Shares represented by proxies that are returned to a Fund but that are marked “abstain” or on which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any non-routine proposal (“broker non-votes”) will be counted as present for the purposes of determining a quorum of that Fund. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against a Proposal. If you are a beneficial owner of a Fund’s shares held in street name (that is, if you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other financial institution), you may instruct your bank, broker or other financial institution of record how to vote your shares in favor of Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5 and Proposal 3 before the Meeting. Under New York Stock Exchange rules, broker-dealer firms may, without instructions, give6, as applicable, and, if you are a proxy to vote on routine matters if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. If instructions are not received by the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ proxy solicitation materials, broker-dealers may vote on Proposal 1,shareholder of Balanced Capital Fund, Total Return Fund and CoreAlpha Bond Fund, submit voting instructions for Proposal 2 and Proposal 3,4, as applicable, in one of four ways: Voting via the Internet. You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instructions on the voting instruction form(s) provided by your broker, bank or other financial institution of record. Prior to logging on, you should read this Proxy Statement and have your voting instruction form(s) at hand. Voting by Telephone. You may vote by proxy by calling the toll-free number found on the voting instruction form(s) provided by your broker, bank or other financial institution of record and following the automated touchtone voting directions. Prior to calling, you should read this Proxy Statement and have your voting instruction form(s) at hand. Voting by Mail. If you received printed copies of this Proxy Statement by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the voting instruction form(s) provided by your broker, bank or other financial institution of record and sending it back in the postage paid envelope provided. Voting at the Meeting. You must request and obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other financial institution of record that holds your shares if you wish to attend the Meeting and vote at the Meeting. A person submitting votes by telephone or Internet is deemed to represent that he or she is authorized to vote on behalf of all owners of the broker-dealer firms’ customers and beneficial owners. A properly executed proxy cardaccount, including spouses or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify howjoint owners. By using the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instructiontelephone or the Internet to vote such shares in favor of such proposal. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspector of election will treat withheld votes and “broker non-votes,” if any, as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a)submit voting instructions, have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to exercise discretion on a particular matter.
If you are a beneficial shareholder of a Fund (that is if you hold shares of a Fund through aauthorizing their bank, broker or other financial institution or intermediary (calledof record to execute a service agent)),proxy to vote the service agent may beshareholder’s shares at the record holder of your shares. AtMeeting as the shareholder has indicated.
If, at the Meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A properlyvalidly executed proxy card or other authorizationis submitted by a shareholderbroker-dealer or record holder and no voting instructions are given, the shareholders represented by the proxy will be present for purposes of obtaining a quorum at the Meeting and the persons named as proxy holders will cast all votes entitled to be cast pursuant to that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of Proposal 1 (and toproxy and submit voting instructions for Proposal 2 and/or Proposal 3, as applicable). Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but is not required to, vote such shares in the same proportionthat proxy, as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”applicable, “FOR” Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5 and Proposal 6. INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM- 46 -
The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, of each Fund and Portfolio, have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds and Portfolios, as indicated onAppendix I.
No representatives of D&T or PwC will be present at the Meeting.
Appendix I sets forth for each Fund the fees billed by that Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the two most recent fiscal years for all audit, non-audit, tax and all other services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information inAppendix I is presented under the following captions:
(a) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including out-of-pocket expenses.
(b) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.
(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, tax distribution and analysis reviews and miscellaneous tax advice.
(d) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”
Each Fund’s Audit Committee is required to approve all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fund. Each Fund’s Audit Committee also is required to consider and act upon (i) the provision by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of any non-audit services to the Fund, and (ii) the provision by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of non-audit services to the Advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”) to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. SeeAppendix I to this Proxy Statement for information about the fees paid by the Funds, their investment advisers, and Affiliated Service Providers to each Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
The Audit Committee of each Fund complies with applicable laws and regulations with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, each Fund’s Audit Committee must also approve other non-audit services provided by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Fund and to the Fund’s investment advisers and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Each Fund’s Audit Committee has implemented policies and procedures by which such services may be approved other than by the full Audit Committee. Subject to such policies and procedures, including applicable dollar limitations, each Fund’s Audit Committee may pre-approve, without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”), certain permissible non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Each service approved subject to general pre-approval is presented to each Fund’s Audit Committee for ratification at the next regularly scheduled in-person Board meeting.
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, there were no services rendered by D&T or PwC, as applicable to the Funds for which the general pre-approval requirement was waived.
Each Fund’s Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by D&T or PwC, as applicable, to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers in connection with determining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T to each Fund and each Fund’s Affiliated Service Provider that required pre-approval were pre-approved during the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.
The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following Board Members all of whom are Independent Board Members:
Kenneth L. Urish (Chair)
Frank Fabozzi
Herbert I. London
Mark Stalnecker
Frederick W. Winter

Note: Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Governance and Nominating Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Fund, a single Audit Committee, a single Governance and Nominating Committee and a single Board. The terms “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee” and “Board” mean each “Audit Committee,” “Governance and Nominating Committee” and “Board” as it relates to the respective Fund, unless the context otherwise requires. Each Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee and Board of each Fund shall act separately and in the best interests of such Fund.
Annex A
Statement of Policy on Criteria
for Selecting Independent Directors
The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted this Statement of Policy to memorialize its views as to the appropriate criteria for selecting Independent Directors of the Fund.
A. The Governance and Nominating Committee expects that all candidates will have the following characteristics:
Unquestioned personal integrity.
The candidate may not be an “interested person” of BlackRock or its affiliates within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The candidate should have no material relationship that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of BlackRock and its affiliates. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships (among others).
The candidate needs the disposition to act independently in fact in respect of BlackRock and its affiliates. It is expected that Independent Directors will play an active and, if necessary, an adversarial role in pursuing the best interests of the Fund and shareholders.
The candidate needs to be able to attend six meetings per year. The effect of this requirement is to limit the number of other boards on which a candidate can participate.
The candidate needs to have demonstrated sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial or regulatory issues.
The candidate should have sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fund.
Candidates should have experience on corporate and other boards. This helps assure that they have other exposure to current governance issues and business practices. Candidates should not, however, have board memberships or other relationships that could result in business or regulatory conflicts with the Fund.
The candidate needs the capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required in light of the Fund’s complex regulatory, operational and marketing setting.
B. The following characteristics are desirable, but not mandatory:
The candidate should have the ability to serve seven or more years before reaching mandatory retirement age.
The candidate should have diversity of interests evidenced by participation in community, charitable or other similar activities.
C. The following are desirable characteristics of the Independent Directors as a group:
The Independent Directors will generally be drawn from the ranks of respected and accomplished senior business, government, professional and academic leaders.
The Independent Directors will strive to achieve diversity in terms of gender, race and geographic location.
The Independent Directors as a whole should reflect a diversity of experience. At least one Independent Director will be a “financial expert,” as such term is defined by the SEC. The Governance and Nominating Committee will strive to achieve a balance of experience of Independent Directors in respect of industries, management roles and other experience.
