What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The investment objective of iShares U.S. Intermediate Credit Bond Index Fund (the Fund), a series of BlackRock Funds SM (the Trust), is to seek to provide investment results that correspond to the total return performance of fixed-income securities, in aggregate, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index (or the Underlying Index).

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index, a capitalization-weighted index of investment-grade corporate and government-related bonds with maturities between one and ten years, using sampling techniques to approximate the index's total return rather than replicate it exactly. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its performance may diverge from the index. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of three to ten years and may use derivatives and securities lending for liquidity management.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

106.08%
of net assets
Bonds99.28%
Cash & short-term6.79%

These positions come to 106.08% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

4.21 yr
approx. move per 100bp
4.34 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Credit spreads51%
Interest rates49%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
