◼ Jan – June 2021 (first half of the year)◼ July – September 2021 (second half, to date)

The COVID-19 Delta variant delayed but didn’t derail the summer’s scorching economic restart, weighing on activity, consumer confidence, and labor dynamics. This fueled rate volatility and the rotation away from cyclicals & value to defensives & growth.

Positioning past the peak

Investors may see inflation moderate from current levels but could remain higher than the pre-COVID range

COVID-19 variants such as Delta weigh on activity

U.S. growth appears to have peaked in the middle of the year, as the lifting of lockdowns and sharp springtime increase in vaccinations powered the economic restart.

A rising tide in the sea of U.S. equities

Nearly all sectors* have been buoyed by the restart, but forward-looking estimates point toward a peak of earnings growth and increased dispersion

Sector Return vs Earnings Revision

The broadening economic restart has lifted most boats among U.S. equities, but dispersion between sectors sailing or sinking post the peak of economic & earnings growth is reemerging.

Quality timeIn these periods of slowing growth, sectors* with high profit margins, low leverage, and strong pricing have potential to outperform. Companies that can raise prices without negatively affecting demand and maintain profitability become more important as they can offset the losses of inflation while in a slowing growth environment

Peak growth may be behind us, but it has not derailed the equity market. There could be some benefit in being selective when growth is positive but slowing.

Room for value

Since 2017, value indices, such as the MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index, have experienced decreasing price to earnings relative to the S&P 500 benchmark

Price-to-Earnings* Relative to S&P 500

Now could be an attractive entry point for value investors.

* The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a fundamental measure used to determine if an investment is valued appropriately. Each holding's P/E is the latest closing price divided by the latest fiscal year's earnings per share. Negative P/E ratios are excluded from this calculation.

Fees as of current prospectus. All other data as of 09/30/21.

Source. BlackRock as of 9/30/21. The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. 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. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com or www.blackrock.com. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Any applicable brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the fund. Prior to August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs were calculated using the midpoint price and accounted for distributions from the fund. The midpoint is the average of the bid/ask prices at 4:00 PM ET (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs). The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Since shares of a fund may not trade in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the fund, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com or www.blackrock.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments. These risks often are heightened for investments in emerging/developing markets and in concentrations of single countries.

Funds that concentrate investments in specific industries, sectors, markets or asset classes may underperform or be more volatile than other industries, sectors, markets or asset classes than the general securities market.

Technology companies may be subject to severe competition and product obsolescence. Technologies perceived to displace older technologies or create new markets may not in fact do so. Companies that initially develop a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on the technology.
