The investment objective of BlackRock LifePath Index Retirement Fund (LifePath Index Retirement Fund or the Fund), a series of BlackRock Funds III (the Trust), is to seek to provide for retirement outcomes based on quantitatively measured risk. In pursuit of this objective, LifePath Index Retirement Fund will be broadly diversified across global asset classes.
The fund allocates its assets among affiliated equity index funds, bond index funds, and money market funds in proportions determined by BlackRock's quantitative risk measurement framework, which analyzes historical and forward-looking market data to target a specific risk profile appropriate for near-term retirement. The fund is structured as a fund of funds and seeks to match the performance of its custom benchmark index while maintaining at least 80% of assets in securities or instruments with economic characteristics similar to that benchmark. Because the fund invests through other funds rather than holding securities directly, its performance will reflect both the performance of its underlying funds and any fees charged by those funds.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.
