2 BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

BSF Chairman’s Letter to ShareholdersNovember 2013

Dear Shareholder,

I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Strategic Funds (“the Company”), a Luxembourg UCITS Fund range

providing clients with access to BlackRock investment products that seek to take full advantage of the expanded investment

powers incorporated in the UCITS directive. This report covers a six month period from 1 June 2013 to 30 November 2013.

After some strong gains seen earlier in the year, equity returns moderated over the period as concerns about a potential ‘tapering’

(reduction) of quantitative easing (“QE”) purchases led to profit-taking by market participants. Anxiety over the sustainability of

the rate of China’s economic growth also weighed on markets, particularly those of the Asia Pacific region. Elsewhere, Japanese

equities continued to perform well, supported by strong optimism about the direction of the country’s economic policies.

Having initially also benefited from global central banks’ buying of bonds in significant quantities, fixed income investors seemed

to increasingly favour higher yielding bonds as many areas of the government bond markets began looking fully valued. Concerns

over the timing of QE tapering subsequently led to a sharp rise in bond yields. Global government bonds ended the period in

negative performance territory, while UK index-linked gilts and investment grade corporate bonds proved somewhat more

resilient.

Over the period, there were a number of important regulatory developments, which are expected to affect the way fund providers

service their clients and communicate with them. They included:

� The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published guidelines aimed at enhancing investor protection,

including additional disclosures being provided to all investors. In addition, new risk management obligations relating to the

use of collateral could result in lower permissible exposures to certain counterparties and governments.

� The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) will deliver mandatory clearing through central counterparties as

it attempts to increase the resilience of the market and its participants. The requirements apply to all counterparties who

engage in over-the-counter derivative business. The use of central counterparties and the associated compliance burden

imposed could also result in an increase in trading costs.

� A US law, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is expected to have far-reaching consequences in many other

global jurisdictions. Financial institutions, including asset managers, will be required to obtain information on clients in

order to identify whether a withholding tax is payable. The tax is intended to prevent US investors circumventing US taxation

requirements through the use of non-US investments.

The performance of the Funds is covered in more detail in the separate Investment Adviser's report, which also sets out some

views regarding our investment outlook.

Overall, the assets under management in the BlackRock Strategic Funds range have increased from USD3,937.0m to USD5,614.9m,

which reflected the continued ‘risk-on’ sentiment among market participants over the period.

One of the fastest-growing Funds within the range was the multi-asset BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund, which

increased from EUR160.5m to EUR359.9m over the six months. The BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexi Dynamic Bond Fund,

which was launched during the six month period, reached USD80.1m.

It was a very good period for the BlackRock Global Absolute Return Bond Fund (“GARBF”), which increased in size from

EUR111.7m to EUR187.5m. This was during a period which was generally difficult for bond investors. GARBF targets positive

returns in all market conditions by extracting relative value from a very broad range of fixed income-related investment strategies,

some of them traditional actively managed, and some of them based on quantitative models. GARBF also uses derivatives to

enhance its risk-management capabilities. At times, these financial instruments are used to quickly build protection (hedge)

against sudden market movements.

The largest Fund in the BSF range, the BlackRock European Absolute Return Fund, grew from EUR1,203.6m to EUR1,504.3m over

the period. Having reached its capacity, the Fund is now closed to new subscriptions.

Another one of our flagship bond Funds, BlackRock Fixed Income Strategies Fund (“FISF”), grew from EUR113.0m to EUR179.7m.

The Fund aims to offer attractive returns at lower volatility than the underlying market by investing across different European

fixed income sectors. FISF is able to go actively short duration (reverse its sensitivity to interest rate changes) and protect clients’

capital during periods of rising interest rates.

BSF Chairman’s Letter to ShareholdersNovember 2013 continued

The BlackRock European Credit Strategies Fund also attracted good flows for the period under review as it grew from EUR766.7m

to EUR1,104.1m.

Funds which experienced a reduction in size over the reporting period included BlackRock Americas Diversified Equity Absolute

Return Fund, which declined from USD235.1m to USD186.2m, BlackRock Latin American Opportunities Fund, which declined from

USD169.7m to USD146.0m and BlackRock Mining Opportunities Fund, which declined from USD10.3m to USD9.1m.

BlackRock is fully committed to remaining at the forefront of the European Mutual Funds Industry by bringing innovative

investment products to our clients and is actively working on adding other Funds to the range as our product development

process brings forward appropriate investment opportunities for clients.

On 12 June 2013, we launched the BlackRock Emerging Markets Flexi Dynamic Bond Fund, which seeks to maximise total return

by taking long, synthetic long and synthetic short positions in predominantly fixed income securities. We also launched the

BlackRock Emerging Markets Allocation Fund on 15 November 2013. The Fund seeks to achieve total returns over the investment

cycle by investing in a broad range of asset classes that provide exposure to factors that are positively correlated with growth

in Emerging Markets (“EM”). Such asset classes include equity securities, fixed and floating-rate debt instruments, derivatives,

other investment companies, including affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and Exchange-Traded Funds “(ETF”),

currency- and commodity-related instruments and structured products.

The BlackRock European Opportunities Absolute Return Fund was closed in July 2013 following a number of large redemptions,

which led to a fall in the Funds’ assets to under €1 million, rendering it commercially unviable. Therefore, it was decided that it

was in the best interests of shareholders to close this Fund and distribute redemption proceeds to shareholders.

4 BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

BSF Investment Adviser’s Report

Performance Overview

1 June 2013 – 30 November 2013

Market OverviewThe period was underpinned by a growing belief in the

market that economic recovery in the US was solidifying,

despite the level of unemployment remaining high. But

sentiment faded somewhat after the Federal Reserve (“Fed”)

Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated that the bank’s

USD85 billion-a-month asset purchase programme might be

scaled back should economic data continue to improve.

Nevertheless, global equities gained over the six months,

with most developed regions finishing in positive territory.

Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific were particularly weak

amid concerns over economic growth and what the end of

the era of ‘easy money’ might mean for capital flows.

The picture in fixed income markets was quite different as

they largely failed to move forward, with weak returns across

most bond sectors, driven in part by the aforementioned

concerns over the Fed’s potential tapering of its QE

programme. The agitation this caused exposed the level of

reliance on liquidity injections that had flooded into asset

markets since the financial crisis in 2008.

Fund PerformanceEquities continued to produce relatively strong performance,

with the MSCI All-Country World Index up by 10.5% over the

period in US dollar terms.

Among the key global equity markets, North America

provided the strongest returns, supported by continuing

improvement in economic indicators. Europe ex UK and

Emerging Markets closed the period in positive territory but

underperformed the broader global equity market, with Latin

America particularly weak.

In fixed income markets, both government and corporate

bonds posted declines as bond yields rose and expectations

grew regarding Fed tapering.

The performance data to which we refer in the following

comments is for the primary share class, stated in the base

currency of each respective Fund.

Equity Fund PerformancePerformance of the equity-based Funds within the

BlackRock Strategic Funds range has been mixed but

predominantly positive. The best-performing fund was the

BlackRock European Opportunities Extension Fund, which

produced an absolute positive return of 21.8% over the

period, significantly outperforming its benchmark, the S&P

Europe BMI Index (Developed Markets only), which rose by

9.5%. This Fund seeks to outperform by blending a portfolio

of high conviction long positions with the flexibility to

establish synthetic short positions.

Another particularly strong performer during the period was

the BlackRock European Diversified Equity Absolute Return

Fund, which gained 10.1%, compared to 0.1% for its

benchmark, 3 Month Euribor Index. The Fund invests in a

very diversified range of stocks and can therefore seek to

take advantage of a wide range of opportunities. It typically

exploits long and short positions in as many as 1,500–2,000

European stocks, ranging from small to large companies.

The BlackRock Asia Extension Fund gained 5.9%,

outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex

Japan Index, which rose by 4.2%. Having reached its

capacity, the Fund is now closed to new subscriptions. The

BlackRock Americas Diversified Equity Absolute Return Fund

produced a positive absolute return of 2.8%, outperforming

its benchmark, LIBOR 3 Month Index, which was up 0.1%.

The largest Fund in the BSF range, the BlackRock European

Absolute Return Fund, produced a positive return of 1.7%

over the period and outperformed its benchmark, the

3 month Euro Libor Rate, which was up by 0.08%.

The weakest performers included the BlackRock Latin

American Opportunities Fund, which declined by 9.8% and

underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EM Latin America

Index, which was down by 5.1% over the period. Despite the

recent underperformance, the investment team believes that

their positioning in the region currently provides a good entry

point for long-term investors.

Another notable underperformer over the period was the

BlackRock Mining Opportunities Fund, which declined by

7.6%, compared to a fall of 2.1% for its benchmark, the HSBC

Global Mining Total Return Index. The mining sector and

other cyclical areas have struggled as global economic

growth remained weak.

Bond Fund PerformanceThe best-performing bond fund within the range was

BlackRock European Credit Strategies Fund, which gained

2.3%, compared to 0.1% of the 3 Month Euribor Index.

The Fund seeks to achieve a positive absolute return for

investors in different market environments. It seeks to

achieve its investment objective by taking long and short risk

positions in fixed income transferable securities and

fixed-income related securities (including derivatives)

issued by companies, governments and agencies.

The other two funds within the range managed to the same

benchmark, BlackRock European Constrained Credit

Strategies Fund gained by 1.7% and BlackRock Global

Absolute Return Bond Fund fell by 0.2%.

Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts 5

BSF Investment Adviser’s Report

Performance Overview

1 June 2013 – 30 November 2013 continued

One of our flagship bond funds, BlackRock Fixed Income

Strategies Fund, produced an absolute positive return of

1.5% over the same period.

Mixed Fund PerformanceThe BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund

produced an absolute return of 1.5% over the six months,

outperforming its benchmark, the Euro Overnight Index

Average, which returned 0.0%.

Fund of Funds PerformanceThe BlackRock Funds of iShares Range, which was

launched in September 2010, offers investors four

diversified, multi-asset class funds for different risk

appetites: Conservative, Moderate, Growth and Dynamic.

The funds deliver their objectives via a combination of the

asset-allocation expertise of BlackRock and subsequent

investment in BlackRock’s award-winning iShares Exchange

Traded Funds (“ETF”) range. All four funds achieved levels of

risk appropriate to their respective profiles.

The best-performing fund in this range was the BlackRock

Fund of iShares – Dynamic, which delivered an absolute

return of 4.5%, which was followed by the BlackRock Fund

of iShares – Growth (+2.8%), the BlackRock Fund of iShares

– Moderate (+1.1%) and, finally, the BlackRock Fund of

iShares – Conservative (-0.5%).

OutlookOur assumption is that equity and bond markets have been

driven heavily in 2013 by macroeconomic liquidity, and that

this will change in 2014, albeit only slightly. This will mean

changing outcomes for investors.

Our central scenario is that economic growth will be slow in

all major regions, policy will gradually tighten, and the

volatility in bond yields will steadily increase.

We would agree that some areas in equity markets are

looking fully valued, but in our view we are not in asset

‘bubble’ territory. Indeed, we believe that equities can rise

further from current levels, and that they still represent

better value than cash and bonds. However, further gains will

need to come alongside corporate earnings growth. Given the

current environment of slow economic growth, sluggish wage

growth and lacklustre consumer spending, that may not be

easy for companies to achieve.

In conclusion, we believe that economic and market

conditions should continue to improve. And while many

investors continue to sit on the sidelines, there are still

opportunities to be found, and in our view the risks of not

investing outweigh the risks of being in the market.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance

with the legal and regulatory requirements relating to the

preparation of the financial statements as prescribed by the

Luxembourg authorities for Luxembourg investment companies

and include the following significant accounting policies:

(a) Valuation of Investments and Other Assets

The Company’s investments and other assets are valued as

follows:

� the value of all securities and other assets forming any

particular Fund’s portfolio is determined by last known

prices upon close of the exchange on which those securities

or assets are traded or admitted for trading. For securities

traded on markets closing after the time of the valuation,

last known prices as of this time or such other time may

be used. If net transactions in Shares of the Fund on any

Dealing Day exceed the threshold set by the Board of

Directors of the Fund, then additional procedures apply (see

Note 2(h)). The value of any securities or assets traded on

any other regulated market is determined in the same way.

Where such securities or other assets are quoted or dealt

in on more than one stock exchange or regulated market

the Board of Directors of the Fund may in their discretion

select one of such stock exchanges or regulated markets

for such purposes;

152 BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

� for non-quoted securities or securities not traded or dealt in

on any stock exchange or other regulated market (including

securities of closed-ended investment funds), as well as

quoted or non quoted securities on such other markets

for which no valuation price is available, or securities for

which the quoted prices are, in the opinion of the Board of

Directors of the Fund, not representative of the fair market

value, the value shall be determined prudently and in good

faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund on the basis of

their expected disposal or acquisition price;

� liquid assets such as time deposits may be valued at

nominal values plus any accrued interest or at amortised

cost basis;

� cash, bills payable on demand, other debts and prepaid

expenses are valued at their nominal amount;

� assets which include, in particular, interest and dividends

receivable, receivable for investments sold and receivable

for Fund shares subscribed are valued at nominal value;

� liabilities which include, in particular, income distribution

payable, payable for investments purchased and payable for

Fund shares redeemed are valued at nominal value.

Funds that invest in fixed income transferable securities may

purchase “To Be Announced” securities (“TBAs”). This refers

to the common trading practice in the mortgage-backed

securities market in which a security is to be bought from a

mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date. At the time

of purchase the exact security is not known, but the main

characteristics of it are specified. Although the price has been

established at the time of purchase, the principal value has not

been finalised. As a TBA is not settled at the time of purchase,

this may lead to leveraged positions within a Fund. Purchasing

a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be

purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Risks may

also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential

inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

The Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if

it is deemed appropriate to do so. Proceeds of TBA sales are not

received until the contractual settlement date. During the time

a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable

securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment

(deliverable on or before the sale commitment date), are held

as cover for the transaction.

If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of

an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realises a gain or

loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealised gain

or loss on the underlying security. If the Fund delivers securities

under the commitment, the Fund realises a gain or loss from

the sale of the securities upon the unit price established at the

date the commitment was entered into.

The Funds had TBAs outstanding as of 30 November 2013,

which are included within receivable for investments sold

and payable for investments purchased in the Statement

of Net Assets.

The market value of the Contracts for Difference (“CFDs”) is

determined by the traded price on the exchange on which

the underlying securities or assets are traded or admitted for

trading. For underlying securities traded on markets closing

after the time of the valuation, last known prices as of this time

or such other time may be used. The change in market value,

if any, is recorded as unrealised appreciation or depreciation

in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Realised gains or losses on maturity or termination of the CFDs

are presented in the Statement of Operations and Changes

in Net Assets.

The liquidating value of futures, forward or options contracts

not traded on exchanges or on regulated markets and/or

other regulated markets shall be their net liquidating value

determined, pursuant to the policies established by the Board

of Directors of the Fund, on a basis consistently applied for

each different variety of contract. The liquidating value of

futures, forward and options contracts traded on exchanges or

on regulated markets and/or other regulated markets is based

upon the last available settlement prices of these contracts

on exchanges and regulated markets and/or other regulated

markets on which the particular futures, forward or options

contracts are traded by the Company; provided that if a futures,

forward or options contract could not be liquidated on the day

with respect to which net assets are being determined, the

basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract

shall be such value as the Board of Directors of the Fund may

deem fair and reasonable.

(b) Cost of Sales of Investments

Gains and losses on sales of investments have been

determined on the basis of the average cost method.

Gains and losses on sales of CFDs have been determined on

cost basis using the First In First Out (“FIFO”) method.

(c) Income from Investments

The Company takes credit for income from its investments on

the following basis:

� interest income is accrued daily and includes the

amortisation on a straight line basis of premiums and

accretion of discounts;

� bank interest, fixed deposit and money market deposit

income are recognised on an accrual basis;

� dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.

(d) Financial Instruments

During the period, the Funds have entered into a number of

forward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts.

Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts 153

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Open forward foreign exchange transactions and futures

contracts are valued at the cost to close the contracts on

the valuation date. Surpluses/deficits arising from these

and closed unsettled contracts are taken to unrealised

appreciation/depreciation and are included under assets or

liabilities (as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period, the Funds have entered into CFDs. CFDs

allow investors to take synthetic long or synthetic short

positions with a variable margin. Unlike shares, with CFDs

the buyer is potentially liable for far more than the amount

they paid on margin. This will result in the Funds holding

cash received from shareholders on deposit with various

institutions as described in the Prospectus. CFD positions

are entered into subject to a daily financing charge, applied

at a previously agreed rate above or below the applicable

benchmark. The related interest income or expense is

disclosed net of withholding tax in the Statement of

Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

The Funds can write covered call and put options and

purchase call and put options. When the Funds write and/or

purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium received

or paid by the Funds is reflected as a liability or an asset.

The liability for a written option and the asset for a purchased

option is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current

value of the option. When a security is sold or bought through

an exercise of an option, the premium received (or paid) is

deducted from (or added to) the basis of the security sold or

bought. When an option expires (or the Funds enter into a

closing transaction), the Funds realise a gain or loss on the

option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain

or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transactions

exceeds premium paid or received).

The Funds have entered into swap agreements to exchange

the return generated by one instrument for the return

generated by another investment. In the case of credit

default swaps, a series of premiums is paid to the seller of

the protection, in return for a payment contingent on a credit

event (predefined in the agreement). Where possible, swaps

are marked to market based upon daily prices obtained from

third party pricing agents and verified against the actual

market maker. Where such quotations are not available swaps

are priced based upon daily quotations from the market

maker. In both cases changes in quotations are recorded as

unrealised appreciation or depreciation in the Statement

of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Realised gains

or losses on maturity or termination of the swaps and the

interest earned in relation to the swaps are presented in the

Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

(e) Foreign Exchange

The cost of investments in currencies other than the currency

of denomination of the respective Fund has been translated

at the rates of exchange ruling at the time of purchase.

Investments and other assets in currencies other than the

currency of denomination of the respective Funds has been

translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the Fund’s

valuation point in Luxembourg on 30 November 2013.

Income and expenses in currencies other than the currency of

denomination of the respective Fund have been translated at

the rates of exchange prevailing on record date.

The following exchange rates were used to translate

the investments and other assets and other liabilities

denominated in currencies for all Funds other than the base

currency of the Fund at 30 November 2013:

(f) Total Combined Figures

The combined figures of the Company are expressed in

USD and include the total of the financial statements of the

different Funds. For the translation of the Statement of Net

Assets, the exchange rate prevailing at 16:00 in Luxembourg

as at 30 November 2013 for all Funds expressed in Euros

excluding BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund is:

EURUSD 0.7353

For the BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund,

the exchange rate prevailing at 17:00 in Luxembourg as at

30 November 2013 is:

For the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets,

the following exchange rate is the average rate calculated

over the period for all Funds expressed in Euros excluding

BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund:

EURUSD 0.7496

For the BlackRock Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund,

the following exchange rate is the average rate calculated over

the period:

EURUSD 0.7495

(g) Income Equalisation

The Company operates Income Equalisation arrangements

with a view to ensure that the level of net income accrued

within a Fund is not affected by the issue, conversion or

redemption of Fund shares during an accounting period.

The Income Equalisation is netted in the Movements in share

capital in the Statement of Operation and Changes in Net

Assets.

(h) Swing Adjustment

If on any dealing day the aggregate transactions in shares

of all classes of a Fund result in a net increase or decrease

of shares which exceeds a threshold set by the Board of

Directors of the Fund, the Net Asset Value of the relevant

Fund may be adjusted by an amount which reflects the

dealing costs that may be incurred by the Fund and the

estimated bid/offer spread of the assets in which the Fund

invests. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Fund may

agree to include anticipated fiscal charges in the amount of

the adjustment. In accordance with the prospectus such a

swing was applied as at 30 November 2013 to the BlackRock

Latin American Opportunities Fund.

The Management Company may, at its discretion, decide to

subsidise the swing adjustment.

The published/dealing NAV per share is disclosed in the Three

Year Summary of Net Asset Values and may include a swing

pricing adjustment. This adjustment is not recognised in the

Statement of Net Assets or the Statement of Operations and

Changes in Net Assets.

(i) Fair valuation

If in any case a particular value is not ascertainable by the

methods outlined above, or if the Board of Directors of the

Fund considers that some other method of valuation more

accurately reflects the fair value of the relevant security

or other asset for the purpose concerned, the method of

valuation of the security or asset will be such as the Board

of Directors of the Fund in its absolute discretion decides.

Discrepancies in the value of securities may result where

the underlying markets are closed for business at the time

of calculating the net asset value of certain Funds. The

Board of Directors of the Fund may set specific thresholds,

that where exceeded, result in an adjustment to the value of

these securities to their fair value by applying a specific index

adjustment.

For BlackRock Asia Extension Fund and BlackRock Emerging

Markets Absolute Return Fund in case of price variation, the

Board of Directors of the Fund may decide to apply a fair

valuation factor on the market value of the Fund.

(j) Transaction costs

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of securities.

An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred

if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the

security. When a security is recognised initially, it is measured

at its market value, plus transaction costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition or issue of the security.

Transaction costs excluding custodian transaction fees on

purchases or sales of securities are included within net

realised gain/(loss) or net change in unrealised appreciation/

(depreciation) within the Statement of Operations and

Changes in Net Assets of each Fund. Custodian transaction

fees are included in custodian and depositary fees in the

Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets of the

Fund. Refer to notes 6 for further information.

3. Management CompanyBlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. has been appointed by

the Company to act as its Management Company. The

Management Company is authorised to act as a Fund

Management Company in accordance with Chapter 15

of 17 December 2010 Law.

The Company has signed a restated Management Company

Agreement with the Management Company effective

Unaudited Interim Report and Accounts 155

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

1 August 2009. Under this agreement, the Management

Company is entrusted with the day-to-day management of

the Company, with responsibility for performing directly or

by way of delegation all operational functions relating to the

Company’s investment management, administration, and the

marketing of the Funds.

In agreement with the Company, the Management Company

has decided to delegate several of its functions as is further

described in the Prospectus.

BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary

within the BlackRock Group. It is regulated by the CSSF.

4. Management and Distribution FeesDuring the period the Company paid management fees to the

Management Company, BlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A.

The Company pays management fees at an annual rate that

varies from 0.50% to 2.00% of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”),

with the exception of Class X shares, which do not pay a

management fee but rather a fee to the Investment Adviser or

affiliates under an agreement. The level of management fee

varies according to which Fund and share class the investor

buys. These fees accrue daily, are based on the NAV of the

relevant Fund and are paid monthly. Certain costs and fees

are paid out of the management fee, including the fees of the

Investment Advisers.

Where a Fund invests a substantial proportion of its net

assets in other UCITS and other Undertaking for Collective

Investments (“UCIs”), the Investment Adviser will ensure that

the total management fee (excluding any performance fee, if

any) charged to such Fund (including management fees from

other UCITS and UCIs in which it invests) shall not exceed

3.75% of the net asset value of the Fund.

During the period, the following active Funds were subject to

management fee rebate:

BlackRock Emerging Markets Allocation Fund, BlackRock

Euro Dynamic Diversified Growth Fund, BlackRock Fund of

iShares – Conservative, BlackRock Fund of iShares – Dynamic,

BlackRock Fund of iShares – Growth, BlackRock Fund of

iShares – Moderate and BlackRock Global Absolute Return

Bond Fund.

During the period, the following active Funds were subject to

fee reimbursement from the Management Company:

BlackRock Emerging Market Absolute Return Fund, BlackRock

European Opportunities Absolute Return Fund, BlackRock

European Opportunities Extension Fund, BlackRock Fund of

iShares – Conservative, BlackRock Fund of iShares – Dynamic,

BlackRock Fund of iShares – Growth and BlackRock Fund of

iShares – Moderate.

During the period, the Company paid distribution fees to

BlackRock (Channel Islands) Limited who acted as Principal

Distributor.

The Company pays annual distribution fees of 1.00% of the

NAV for Class C Shares, 0.50% of the NAV for Class E Shares,

0.50% of the NAV for Class L Shares and 0.75% of the NAV

for Class M Shares. These fees accrue daily, are based on

the NAV of the relevant Fund reflecting, when applicable,

any adjustment to the NAV of the relevant Fund, and are

paid monthly.

The management and distribution fees per share class per

Fund are disclosed in detail in the Prospectus and KIID of the

Company.

The Principal Distributor may rebate all or part of the fees it

receives under the terms described in the current Prospectus.

5. Administration FeesThe Company pays an administration fee to the Management

Company.

The level of administration fee may vary at the Board

of Directors of the Fund’ discretion, as agreed with the

Management Company, and will apply at different rates

across the various Funds and Share Classes issued by the

Company. However, it has been agreed between the Board of

Directors of the Fund and the Management Company that the

administration fee currently paid shall not exceed 0.30% per

annum. It is accrued daily, based on the Net Asset Value of the

relevant Share Class and paid monthly.

For the period ended 30 November 2013 the administration

fee % per class were as follows:

ShareClass

Equity Funds

Bond Funds

Mixed Funds

Fund of Funds

A, C, D, E, H, U 0.30% 0.20% 0.25% –

I, T, X 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% –

K, L, M – – – 0.10%

Investment in I, T and X Shares is restricted to institutional investors within the meaning

of Article 174 of the law of 17 December 2010.

The Board of Directors of the Fund and the Management

Company set the level of the administration fee at a rate

which aims to ensure that the total expense ratio of each

Fund remains competitive when compared across a broad

market of similar investment products available to investors

in the Funds, taking into account a number of criteria such as

the market sector of each Fund and the Fund’s performance

relative to its peer group.

The administration fee is used by the Management Company

to meet all fixed and variable operating and administrative

costs and expenses incurred by the Company, with the

exception of the custodian fees and distribution fees,

plus any taxes thereon and any taxes at an investment or

Company level. These operating and administrative expenses

include all third party expenses and other recoverable costs

incurred by or on behalf of the Company from time to time,

including but not limited to, fund accounting fees, transfer

agency fees (including sub-transfer agency and associated

156 BlackRock Strategic Funds (BSF)

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

platform dealing charges), all professional costs, such as

consultancy, legal, tax advisory and audit fees, Directors’

fees, travel expenses, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,

printing, publication, translation and all other costs relating

to shareholder reporting, regulatory filing and licence fees,

correspondent and other banking charges, software support

and maintenance, operational costs and expenses attributed

to the Investor Servicing teams and other global administration

services provided by various BlackRock Group companies.

The Management Company bears the financial risk of ensuring

that the Fund’s total expense ratio remains competitive.

Accordingly the Management Company is entitled to retain

any amount of the administration fee paid to it which is in

excess of the actual expenses incurred by the Company

during any period whereas any costs and expenses incurred

by the Company in any period which exceed the amount of

administration fee that is paid to the Management Company,

shall be borne by the Management Company or another

BlackRock Group company.

Directors of the Fund who are not representatives of the

BlackRock Group receive a fee of EUR 25,000 per annum gross

of taxation in return for their duties performed. The Chairman

receives a fee of EUR 27,500 per annum gross of taxation.

Directors who are representatives of the BlackRock Group

have agreed to waive their Directors’ fees.

6. Custodian and Depository FeesThe Custodian receives a fee in respect of each Fund. These

fees are to remunerate the Custodian for safekeeping and

transaction costs applicable to each Fund. These fees vary in

respect of each Fund depending on the value of assets under

management and the volume of trading in that Fund.

For Funds which have low volume trading the safekeeping

fee which accrues daily, will range from 0.005% to 0.20%

per annum and the transaction fees will range from USD 7

to USD 50 per transaction.

For Funds which engage in higher trading volumes, the

Custodian does not charge separate safekeeping and

transaction fees. The Custodian receives a fee which is

charged on a sliding scale, based on the value of assets

under management and the volume of trading within each

Fund. These fees range from 1 basis point to 15 basis points

of assets under management of each Fund, depending on

whether a particular Fund is considered to be a ‘medium

volume trading Fund’ or ‘high volume trading Fund’.

Each of the Funds is also subject to a minimum annual fee

which will be set at either, USD 30,000 for a low volume

trading Fund, USD 100,000 for a medium volume trading Fund

or USD 150,000 for a high volume trading Fund.

Trading volumes for each Fund vary according to the

investment strategy of each Fund. The combined custody

cost to each Fund depends on its asset allocation and trading

activity at any time.

7. Performance FeesA performance fee may be payable out of each Share Class

of each Fund with the exception of Class X shares which

do not pay a performance fee, in addition to other fees and

expenses mentioned in the Prospectus. The performance fee

accrues on each Valuation Day and is equal to 10% or 20%

(as applicable to the relevant Fund, as stated in Appendix F

of the Prospectus) of the amount by which the net asset value

per share return exceeds the appropriate benchmark return

described in further detail in Appendix E of the Prospectus.

Two methods of calculation are used and are referred to as

Type A and Type B – the method applicable to each Fund is

indicated in Appendix E of the Prospectus.

Crystallisation of the performance fee occurs on the last day

of each Performance Period or where a shareholder redeems

or converts all or part of his shares before the end of a

Performance Period.

8. Tax

investment company. Accordingly, no Luxembourg income

or capital gains tax is at present payable by the Company.

calculated at an annual rate of 0.05%, and in the case of all

Class I, Class T and Class X Shares, of 0.01% of the NAV of
