Investment involves risk and may lose value. If you are considering making an investment, you are advised to obtain your own independent professional advice and to carefully consider all relevant risk factors. The price of units or shares and the income from them in relation to any investment may go down as well as up and any past performance is not indicative of future performance. BlackRock does not guarantee the performance of the Funds.

An investment in the Funds often involves investing in international markets. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments involve the risk of losing all or part of any capital from unfavourable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. An investment in emerging markets also involves heightened other risks such as increased volatility and the possibility of lower trading volume.

When making an investment in the Funds which are listed on one or more stock exchanges, the price of the shares or units will be determined by supply and demand. It is not necessarily the same as the value per share or unit of that the Funds’ assets. At any time the share or unit price may be at a discount or premium to the asset value. However, because of the exchange-traded fund structure, it is expected that a significant discount or premium of price to asset value will not be sustainable over the long term. Any projections or examples (including calculations used therein) are for illustrative purposes only and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete. You should note that shares or units may only be redeemed directly from the Funds by persons or entities registered as participating dealers in very large redemption sizes. Listing of the shares or units of the Funds does not guarantee a liquid market for them.

Where a Fund's investment objective is to track an index, the Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, issued, sold or promoted by the relevant index provider. None of these companies make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds.

Important information about the Funds is contained in the prospectus for the Funds which is available upon request from BlackRock. BEFORE ACQUIRING THE SHARES OR UNITS OF ANY FUNDS BY PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ THE FUNDS’ PROSPECTUS OR OFFERING MATERIALS.

IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of the iShares FTSE China A50 ETF (the “ETF”) for details, including the risk factors. Investors should not base investment decisions on this marketing material alone. Investors should note:
• The ETF aims to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the FTSE China A50 Index (“the Underlying Index”).
• Generally, investments in emerging markets, such as the A Share market, may involve increased risks such as liquidity risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal, regulatory and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility. The A Share market may be more volatile and unstable than those in the more developed markets. The ETF’s exposure is concentrated in the PRC and may be more volatile than funds adopting a more diversified strategy.
• The ETF is subject to tracking error risk, which is the risk that its performance may not track that of the Underlying Index exactly.
• The ETF is subject to restrictions and requirements applicable to QFII / RQFII investment, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations in the PRC, which are subject to change and such change may have potential retrospective effect. The ETF may be unable to invest via the QFII/RQFII status of each QFII/RQFII Licence Holder including if the approval of the relevant QFII/RQFII Licence Holder is revoked/terminated or otherwise invalidated as the ETF may be prohibited from trading of relevant securities and repatriation of the ETF’s monies, or if any of the key operators (including the QFII/RQFII Custodians and PRC broker) is bankrupt or in default and/or is disqualified from performing its obligations (including execution or settlement of any transaction or transfer of monies or securities).
• The relevant rules and regulations on the Stock Connect are subject to change. The Stock Connect is subject to quota limitations. Where a suspension in the trading through the programme is effected, the ETF’s ability to invest in A shares through Stock Connect will be adversely affected.
• The ETF currently does not provision for withholding tax on capital gains (“CGT”) arising from its investment via CAAPs, QFII or RQFII on or after 17 November 2014, or its investment via Stock Connect. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws, regulations and practice in respect of capital gains realized on the ETF’s PRC investments, which may have retrospective effect. Any increased tax liabilities on the ETF may adversely affect its value, and the resultant tax liability would be eventually borne by investors.
• All units will receive distributions in the base currency (RMB) only. The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital which amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of or effectively out of the ETF’s capital may result in an immediate reduction of the ETF’s NAV per unit.
• In the event that a unitholder has no RMB account, the unitholder may have to bear (i) the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such dividend distributions from RMB to HKD or any other currency; and (ii) other bank or financial institutional fees and charges associated with the handling of the distribution payment in currencies other than RMB. Unitholders are advised to check with their brokers regarding arrangements for distribution.
• The trading price of the units of the ETF on the SEHK is subject to market forces and may trade at a substantial premium/discount to the ETF’s NAV.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The iShares FTSE China A50 ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of the 50 largest companies in mainland China, trading on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges.

Why 2823 / 82823?

1. Exposure to the 50 largest China A-share companies
2. Access to market liquidity for mainland China exposure Estimated NAV per unit is indicative and for reference purposes only. It is calculated, disseminated on a delayed basis and displayed on this website by ICE Data Services. The estimated NAV per unit for each trading currency other than the Base Currency is calculated using the estimated Net Asset Value per Unit in the Base Currency multiplied by the real time exchange rate provided by ICE Data Services for each such trading currency. The near real time estimated NAV per unit is updated at 15-second intervals during trading hours of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Note: The base currency of the fund changed from HKD to RMB on 1 January 2018. Accordingly, both fund and benchmark performance information and Tracking Error and Tracking Difference, including for the period prior to 1 January 2018, are being shown in RMB.  Please note that this change impacts information which is displayed on this page before 1 January 2018 and investors should be aware of the display reference currency when using information from other sources. Click here for historical Holdings, NAV, Performance and Distributions information prior to 1 January 2018 displayed in HKD.

Tracking Difference is the return difference between an ETF and its underlying index over a certain period of time.

Tracking Error measures how consistently an ETF follows its underlying index. It is the volatility (measured by standard deviation) of that return difference. Tracking Error is annualized based on the number of dealing days in the past year when daily tracking difference is calculated.

Performance is calculated based on NAV-to-NAV with dividend reinvested.

Performance is calculated in the base currency of the iShares Fund, including ongoing charges and taxes, and excluding your trading costs on SEHK.

Sustainability Characteristics

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% (or 50% for bond funds and money market funds) of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities with ESG coverage by MSCI ESG Research (certain cash positions and other asset types deemed not relevant for ESG analysis by MSCI are removed prior to calculating a fund’s gross weight; the absolute values of short positions are included but treated as uncovered), the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities. MSCI Ratings are currently unavailable for this fund.

Business Involvement

Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.

Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund’s investment objective, do not change a fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe, and there is no indication that an ESG or Impact focused investment strategy or exclusionary screens will be adopted by a fund. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

Review the MSCI methodology behind the Business Involvement metrics, using links below.

BlackRock business involvement exposures as shown above for Thermal Coal and Oil Sands are calculated and reported for companies that generate more than 5% of revenue from thermal coal or oil sands as defined by MSCI ESG Research. For the exposure to companies that generate any revenue from thermal coal or oil sands (at a 0% revenue threshold), as defined by MSCI ESG Research, it is as follows: Thermal Coal 3.54% and for Oil Sands 0.00%.

Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company’s specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.

Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund’s gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.

Total allocation percentages shown in the All Holdings tables may not equal 100% due to rounding.

Note: The base currency of the fund changed from HKD to RMB on 1 January 2018. Distribution amounts before and after 1 January 2018 are displayed in RMB. Click here for historical Holdings, NAV, Performance and Distributions information prior to 1 January 2018 displayed in HKD.

Review the MSCI methodology behind the Sustainability Characteristics and Business Involvement metrics: ¹ ESG Fund Ratings ; ² Index Carbon Footprint Metrics ; ³ Business Involvement Screening Research ; ⁴ ESG Screened Index Methodology ; ⁵ ESG Controversies ; ⁶ MSCI Implied Temperature Rise

For funds with an investment objective that include the integration of ESG criteria, there may be corporate actions or other situations that may cause the fund or index to passively hold securities that may not comply with ESG criteria. Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for more information. The screening applied by the fund's index provider may include revenue thresholds set by the index provider. The information displayed on this website may not include all of the screens that apply to the relevant index or the relevant fund. These screens are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus, other fund documents, and the relevant index methodology document.

Some funds may be based on or linked to MSCI indexes, and MSCI may be compensated based on the fund’s assets under management or other measures.

Disclaimer: Unless otherwise specified, all information as of the month end. Sources: BlackRock and FTSE. The above iShares Funds data is for information only. Investment involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Investment in emerging market countries may involve heightened risks such as increased volatility and lower trading volume, and may be subject to a greater risk of loss than investment in a developed country. Before deciding to invest, investors should read the Prospectus and Key Fact Statements for details, including the risk factors. Performance is calculated on NAV to NAV basis, inclusive of all transaction fees and assumes dividend reinvestment. The investment returns are denominated in base currency, which may be a foreign currency.

Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual iShares Funds or iShares Trusts performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee
