9 PART I: INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS Part I of this Statement of Additional Information ( SAI ) sets forth information about the BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund (the GA Disciplined Volatility Fund ) and the BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund (the GA Enhanced Equity Fund ) (each, a Fund and collectively, the Funds ), each a series of Managed Account Series (the Trust ). It includes information about the Trust s Board of Trustees (the Board or the Board of Trustees ), the management services provided to and the management fees paid by each Fund and information about other fees applicable to and services provided to each Fund. This Part I of this SAI should be read in conjunction with the Funds Prospectuses and those portions of Part II of this SAI that pertain to each Fund. I. Investment Objectives and Policies In implementing each Fund s investment strategy, from time to time, BlackRock Advisors, LLC ( BlackRock or the Manager ), each Fund s investment manager, may consider and employ techniques and strategies designed to minimize and defer the U.S. federal income taxes which may be incurred by shareholders in connection with their investment in such Fund. Set forth below is a listing of some of the types of investments and investment strategies that a Fund may use, and the risks and considerations associated with those investments and investment strategies. Please see Part II of this SAI for further information on these investments and investment strategies. Information contained in Part II about the risks and considerations associated with a Fund s investments and/or investment strategies applies only to those Funds specifically identified as making each type of investment or using each investment strategy (each, a Covered Fund ).

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ( CFTC ) subjects advisers to registered investment companies to regulation by the CFTC if a fund that is advised by the investment adviser either (i) invests, directly or indirectly, more than a prescribed level of its liquidation value in CFTCregulated futures, options and swaps ( CFTC Derivatives ), or (ii) markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The CFTC also subjects advisers to registered investment companies to regulation by the CFTC if the registered investment company invests in one or more commodity pools. To the extent a Fund uses CFTC Derivatives, it intends to do so below such prescribed levels and will not market itself as a commodity pool or a vehicle for trading such instruments. BlackRock has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act ( CEA ) pursuant to Rule 4.5 under the CEA ( Rule 4.5 ) with respect to BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund. BlackRock is not, therefore, subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA in respect of the Funds. I-5

13 BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund s primary vehicle for gaining exposure to the commodities markets is expected to be through investments in Cayman GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund formed in the Cayman Islands (the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary ), which invests primarily in commodities, commodity-related instruments and other derivatives. BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund s primary vehicle for gaining exposure to the commodities markets is expected to be through investments in Cayman GA Enhanced Equity Fund, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund formed in the Cayman Islands (the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary and with the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary each, a Subsidiary and collectively, the Subsidiaries ), which invests primarily in commodities, commodity-related instruments and other derivatives. Each Subsidiary may also hold cash and invest in other instruments, including fixedincome securities, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary s derivative positions. Investments in the Subsidiaries BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the shares of its wholly-owned and controlled Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary. BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the shares of its wholly-owned and controlled Enhanced Equity Subsidiary. Investments in the Subsidiaries are expected to provide the applicable Funds with exposure to the commodity markets within the limitations of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and recent Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) revenue rulings, as discussed below. Each Subsidiary is advised by the Manager. Each Subsidiary (unlike the Funds) may invest without limitation in commodityrelated instruments. However, each of the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary and the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary is otherwise subject to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment restrictions as BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund, respectively, including the timing and method of the valuation of the Subsidiary s portfolio investments and shares of the Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary is managed pursuant to compliance policies and procedures that are the same, in all material respects, as the policies and procedures adopted by the Trust. Each Subsidiary is a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and is overseen by its own board of directors, which is comprised of Neal J. Andrews, Chief Financial Officer of the Trust, and John M. Perlowski, a Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust. Each of BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund is the sole shareholder of the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary and the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary, respectively, and shares of the Subsidiaries will not be sold or offered to other investors. Each Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-related instruments. Although BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund may enter into these commodity-related instruments directly, BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund will likely gain exposure to these commodity-related instruments indirectly by investing in the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary and the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary, respectively. To the extent that BlackRock believes that these commodity-related instruments provide suitable exposure to the commodities market, BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund s and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund s investments in the Subsidiaries will likely increase. Each Subsidiary may also hold cash and invest in other instruments, including fixed-income securities, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary s derivative positions. The Manager manages the assets of each Subsidiary, but receives no additional compensation for doing so. The Manager also provides certain administrative services for the Subsidiaries, but receives no additional compensation for doing so. Each Subsidiary will also enter into separate contracts for the provision of advisory, sub-advisory, custody, transfer agency and accounting agent services with the same or with affiliates of the same service providers that provide those services to BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund. I-6

14 The financial statements of the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary and the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary will be consolidated with the financial statements in the Annual and Semi-Annual Reports of BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund, respectively. The Annual and Semi-Annual Reports are distributed to shareholders. Copies of the Annual Report are provided without charge upon request as indicated on the front cover of this SAI. The Subsidiaries are not registered under the Investment Company Act, and, unless otherwise noted in each Fund s Prospectus or this SAI, are not subject to all the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. However, BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund wholly own and control the Disciplined Volatility Subsidiary and the Enhanced Equity Subsidiary, respectively, and each Fund and Subsidiary are managed by the Manager, making it unlikely that a Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Company s Board of Directors has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of each Fund, including, with respect to BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund, each Fund s investment in the respective Subsidiary, and each Fund s role as sole shareholder of its respective Subsidiary. As noted above, the Subsidiaries will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as their respective Funds. The Subsidiaries are managed pursuant to compliance policies and procedures that are the same, in all material respects, as the policies and procedures adopted by the Trust. In addition, changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of each Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as described in each Fund s Prospectus and this SAI, and could adversely affect the Funds. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiaries. If Cayman Islands law changes such that a Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. Each Fund, as a regulated investment company under the tax rules, is required to realize at least 90 percent of its annual gross income from investment-related sources, specifically from dividends, interest, proceeds from securities lending, gains from the sales of stocks, securities and foreign currencies, other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, or certain types of publicly traded partnerships (referred to as qualifying income). Direct investments by a regulated investment company in commodityrelated instruments generally do not, under published IRS rulings, produce qualifying income. The Subsidiaries will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. They will, however, be considered controlled foreign corporations, and each applicable Fund will be required to include as income annually amounts earned by its Subsidiary during that year. Gains from the sales of investments by a Subsidiary will not be eligible for capital gains treatment but instead will be treated as ordinary income when included in income by the applicable Fund. Furthermore, each of BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund and BlackRock GA Enhanced Equity Fund will distribute net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gain, if any, at least annually, on Subsidiary income, whether or not the Subsidiary makes a distribution to the respective Fund during the taxable year. II. Investment Restrictions The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted restrictions and policies relating to the investment of the Trust s assets and its activities. Certain of the restrictions are fundamental policies of a Fund and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of that Fund s outstanding voting securities (which for this purpose and under the Investment Company Act, means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares). The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has also adopted certain non-fundamental investment restrictions, which may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. Set forth below are the fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of each Fund. Unless otherwise provided, all references below to the assets of a Fund are in terms of the current market value. I-7

15 Under these fundamental investment restrictions, each Fund may not: 1. Concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used in the Investment Company Act. 2. Borrow money, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act. 3. Issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate the Investment Company Act. 4. Purchase or hold real estate, except the Fund may purchase and hold securities or other instruments that are secured by, or linked to, real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts, mortgagerelated securities and securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business, and the Fund may purchase and hold real estate as a result of the ownership of securities or other instruments. 5. Underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities by the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriting or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. 6. Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except as permitted by the Investment Company Act. 7. Make loans to the extent prohibited by the Investment Company Act. 8. Make any investment inconsistent with the Fund s classification as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act. Notations Regarding each Fund s Fundamental Investment Restrictions The following notations are not considered to be part of each Fund s fundamental investment restrictions and are subject to change without shareholder approval. With respect to the fundamental policy relating to concentration set forth in (1) above, the Investment Company Act does not define what constitutes concentration in an industry. The Commission staff has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry or group of industries constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future. The policy in (1) above will be interpreted to refer to concentration as that term may be interpreted from time to time. The policy also will be interpreted to permit investment without limit in the following: securities of the U.S. government and its agencies or instrumentalities; securities of state, territory, possession or municipal governments and their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions; and repurchase agreements collateralized by any such obligations. Accordingly, issuers of the foregoing securities will not be considered to be members of any industry. There also will be no limit on investment in issuers domiciled in a single jurisdiction or country. Finance companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of the parents. Each foreign government will be considered to be a member of a separate industry. With respect to each Fund s industry classifications, the Fund currently utilizes any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. The policy also will be interpreted to give broad authority to each Fund as to how to classify issuers within or among industries. With respect to the fundamental policy relating to borrowing money set forth in (2) above, the Investment Company Act permits a Fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the Fund s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the Fund s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. (A Fund s total assets include the amounts being borrowed.) In addition, each Fund has received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting it to borrow through the Interfund Lending Program (discussed below), subject to the conditions of the exemptive order. To limit the risks attendant to borrowing, the Investment Company Act requires a Fund to maintain at all times an asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of its borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of a Fund s total assets (including amounts borrowed), minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Borrowing money to increase portfolio holdings is known as leveraging. Certain trading practices and I-8

16 investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, may be considered to be borrowings or involve leverage and thus are subject to the Investment Company Act restrictions. In accordance with Commission staff guidance and interpretations, when a Fund engages in such transactions, the Fund instead of maintaining asset coverage of at least 300%, may segregate or earmark liquid assets, or enter into an offsetting position, in an amount at least equal to the Fund s exposure, on a mark-to-market basis, to the transaction (as calculated pursuant to requirements of the Commission). The policy in (2) above will be interpreted to permit a Fund to engage in trading practices and investments that may be considered to be borrowing or to involve leverage to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act and to permit a Fund to segregate or earmark liquid assets or enter into offsetting positions in accordance with the Investment Company Act. Short-term credits necessary for the settlement of securities transactions and arrangements with respect to securities lending will not be considered to be borrowings under the policy. Practices and investments that may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowings are not subject to the policy. With respect to the fundamental policy relating to underwriting set forth in (5) above, the Investment Company Act does not prohibit a Fund from engaging in the underwriting business or from underwriting the securities of other issuers; in fact, in the case of diversified funds, the Investment Company Act permits each Fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Those circumstances currently are that the amount of a Fund s underwriting commitments, when added to the value of the Fund s investments in issuers where the Fund owns more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of those issuers, cannot exceed the 25% cap. A fund engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ). Although it is not believed that the application of the Securities Act provisions described above would cause a Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the policy in (5) above will be interpreted not to prevent a Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act or is otherwise engaged in the underwriting business to the extent permitted by applicable law. With respect to the fundamental policy relating to lending set forth in (7) above, the Investment Company Act does not prohibit the fund from making loans (including lending its securities); however, Commission staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets (including lending its securities), except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. In addition, collateral arrangements with respect to options, forward currency and futures transactions and other derivative instruments (as applicable), as well as delays in the settlement of securities transactions, will not be considered loans. Each Fund is currently classified as a diversified fund under the Investment Company Act. This means that each Fund may not purchase securities of an issuer (other than (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and (ii) securities of other investment companies) if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, (a) more than 5% of the Fund s total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or (b) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, a Fund can invest more than 5% of its assets in one issuer. Under the Investment Company Act, a Fund cannot change its classification from diversified to non-diversified without shareholder approval. Under its non-fundamental investment restrictions, which may be changed by the board without shareholder approval, each Fund may not: a. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act. As a matter of policy, however, each Fund will not purchase shares of any registered open-end investment company or registered unit investment trust, in reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) (the fund of funds provisions) of the Investment Company Act, at any time the Fund has knowledge that its shares are purchased by another investment company investor in reliance on the provisions of subparagraph (G) of Section 12(d)(1). I-9

17 b. Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except to the extent permitted by each Fund s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as amended from time to time, and applicable law. Unless otherwise indicated, all limitations under each Fund s fundamental or non-fundamental investment restrictions apply only at the time that a transaction is undertaken. Any change in the percentage of a Fund s assets invested in certain securities or other instruments resulting from market fluctuations or other changes in the Fund s total assets will not require the Fund to dispose of an investment until BlackRock determines that it is practicable to sell or close out the investment without undue market or tax consequences. III. Information on Trustees and Officers The Board of Trustees of the Trust consists of eleven individuals (each, a Trustee ), nine of whom are not interested persons of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act (the Independent Trustees ). The registered investment companies advised by the Manager or its affiliates (the BlackRock-advised Funds ) are organized into one complex of closed-end funds (the Closed-End Complex ), two complexes of open-end funds (the Equity-Liquidity Complex and the Equity-Bond Complex ) and one complex of exchange-traded funds (each, a BlackRock Fund Complex ). The Funds are included in the BlackRock Fund Complex referred to as the Equity-Bond Complex. The Trustees also oversee as board members the operations of the other open-end registered investment companies included in the Equity-Bond Complex. The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Trust and the Funds. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee, and the Chair of each Board committee (each, a Committee ) is an Independent Trustee. The Board has five standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee. The Chair of the Board s role is to preside at all meetings of the Board, and to act as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees generally between meetings. The Chair of each Committee performs a similar role with respect to the Committee. The Chair of the Board or a Committee may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board or the Committee from time to time. The Independent Trustees meet regularly outside the presence of Fund management, in executive session or with other service providers to the Funds. The Board has regular meetings five times a year, and may hold special meetings if required before its next regular meeting. Each Committee meets regularly to conduct the oversight functions delegated to that Committee by the Board and reports its findings to the Board. The Board and each standing Committee conduct annual assessments of their oversight function and structure. The Board has determined that the Board s leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise independent judgment over management and to allocate areas of responsibility among Committees and the full Board to enhance effective oversight. The Board has engaged the Manager to manage the Funds on a day-to-day basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Manager, other service providers, the operations of the Funds and associated risk in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act, state law, other applicable laws, the Trust s charter, and each Fund s investment objectives and strategies. The Board reviews, on an ongoing basis, each Fund s performance, operations, and investment strategies and techniques. The Board also conducts reviews of the Manager and its role in running the operations of the Funds. Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds is the responsibility of the Manager or of sub-advisers or other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), subject to the supervision of the Manager. The Funds are subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. While there are a number of risk management functions performed by the Manager and the sub-advisers or other service providers, as applicable, it is not possible to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Funds. Risk oversight forms part of the Board s general oversight of the Funds and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. The Board, directly or through a Committee, also reviews reports from, among others, management, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds, sub-advisers, and internal auditors for the investment adviser or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and management s or the service provider s risk functions.
