The Fund which aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the ICE 0-3 Month US Treasury Bill Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index (“Index”). The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds)] that make up the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of US Dollar denominated fixed income securities issued by the US Treasury that have a remaining maturity of less than or equal to three months at the rebalancing date. Only bonds that meet the index provider's criteria for time to maturity, fixed coupon schedule and amount outstanding are included in the Index. There are currently no minimum credit rating requirements or credit rating restrictions on bonds included in the Index. Inflationlinked securities are excluded from the Index. The Index is market capitalisation weighted and rebalances on a monthly basis based on amounts outstanding of qualifying securities at each rebalance. If, at a rebalance, it is known that there will be fewer than six eligible securities remaining in the Index prior to, or at the point of, the next rebalance, due to expiring maturities of securities in the Index, one or more eligible securities will be added to the Index to ensure that at least six un-matured securities remain in the Index by the next rebalance. Such bonds will have a maturity date after the date of the next rebalance and will be selected in order of priority by shortest maturity date, largest amount outstanding and most recently issued. Market capitalisation is the market value of the outstanding bond issuance. The Fund uses optimisation techniques in order to achieve a similar return to the Index and it is therefore not expected that the Fund will hold each and every underlying constituent of the Index at all times or hold them in the same proportion as their weightings in the Index. The Fund may hold some securities which are not underlying constituents of the Index where such securities provide similar performance (with matching risk profile) to certain securities that make up the Index. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income.

The price of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates which in turn may affect the value of your investment. Fixed income securities prices move inversely to interest rates. Therefore, the market value of fixed income securities may decrease as interest rates increase. The credit rating of an issuing entity will generally affect the yield that can be earned on fixed income securities; the better the credit rating the smaller the yield. Further information about the Fund can be obtained from the latest annual report and half-yearly reports of the iShares IV plc. These documents are available free of charge in English and certain other languages. These can be found, along with other (practical) information, including prices of units, on the iShares website at: www.ishares.com or by calling +49 89427295800 or from your broker or financial adviser.

Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value). The Fund’s base currency is US Dollar. Shares for this Share Class are denominated in Mexican Peso. The performance of your shares may be affected by this currency difference. Your shares will be hedged with the aim of reducing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the denominated currency of the shares and the Fund’s underlying portfolio currencies or the Fund’s base currency. FDIs, including FX forward contracts, will be used for currency hedging purposes. The hedging strategy may not completely eliminate currency risk and, therefore, may affect the performance of your shares. Please see the prospectus for further details. The shares are listed and traded on various stock exchanges. In normal circumstances, only authorised participants may buy and sell shares directly with the Fund. Investors who are not authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) can generally only buy or sell the shares on the secondary market (e.g. via a broker on a stock exchange) at the then prevailing market price. The value of the shares are related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The prevailing market price at which the shares trade on the secondary market may deviate from the value of the Shares. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites.

Intended retail investor:The Fund is intended for retail investors with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested in the Fund (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).

Insurance benefits:The Fund does not offer any insurance benefits.
