What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The investment objective of iShares U.S. Long Government 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. Government: Long Index (or the Underlying Index).

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Government: Long Index, which comprises U.S. Treasuries and agency debt with maturities of ten years or longer, using sampling techniques to approximate the index's total return. Because the fund samples rather than fully replicates the index, its returns may diverge from the benchmark. The fund may use futures, forwards, options and other derivatives to manage liquidity or replicate index positions.

What the fund is made of

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

107.62%
of net assets
Bonds98.95%
Cash & short-term8.67%

These positions come to 107.62% 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%.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Risk profile

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

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.

14.25 yr
approx. move per 100bp
0.07 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
Interest rates100%
Credit spreads0%

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.

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.
