1 QUARTERLY UPDATE FOCUSED INCOME ETF PORTFOLIOS 4Q 2017 Managed Portfolio Strategies Key Takeaway: The risk rally may have room to run. U.S. earnings are outpacing analyst estimate revisions. Analysts have improved their outlook for 2018 earnings, but in our opinion, they have further to go to account for tax reform, increasing confidence and strong 2017 earnings. We believe growth prospects for the United States and emerging markets (EM) lead those of non-u.s. developed regions. Lower corporate tax rates are a potential tailwind for investment grade bonds. The deduction of debt interest by U.S. corporations may have relatively less benefit in a world with lower tax rates, and the net result may be a reduction in debt issued. Basic supply and demand suggests that diminished issuance should support corporate bond prices. We remain shy on duration. We do not buy into the conventional wisdom that globalization and technological advances have killed inflation. BlackRock s own GPS measure of inflation, which incorporates big data on price trends, suggests that prices may be headed higher. Further, the end of the Federal Reserve s repurchase program could increase net available supply of Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities versus last year.

2 Trade Rationale Volatility: Consistent with our concerns regarding interest rate risk, we are modestly reducing duration by shifting from preferred stocks into a mix of high yield positions (a combination of U.S. corporate and emerging market). We continue to have a positive outlook on emerging market asset classes generally. Rising Rate: Consistent with our concerns regarding interest rate risk, we are modestly reducing duration by shifting from preferred stocks into short-duration corporate credits. Within equities, we are modestly reallocating from mega cap stocks to global energy equities. We like the positive momentum that has been associated with that sector, and we believe it is reflective of strong fundamentals. Inflation: We are reducing our allocation to intermediate corporate credit in favor of high yield emerging market debt. We are attracted to the larger yield potential within that exposure, and continue to have a positive outlook on emerging market asset classes generally. We are also implementing a modest shift from high-yield bonds to global energy equities, with the intent of increasing portfolio inflation sensitivity. Performance Highlights 2017 was a strong year for risk assets and the fourth quarter was no exception. We experienced synchronized global growth and strong corporate earnings with almost every asset class advancing over the course of the year. Consistent with this environment, all of the portfolios delivered positive performance for the fourth quarter and delivered an income return consistent with the objective. Our preference for equities was the primary driver of positive performance, as stocks continued to outperform bonds. In particular, the portfolios benefited from exposure to U.S. stocks which rallied on the back of strong corporate earnings and the passage of tax reform. Exposure to preferred stocks weighed on portfolio returns. Additionally, an allocation to intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries was the primary detractor from performance in the Volatility Focused Income Managed Portfolio Strategy. This information should not be relied upon as investment advice, research, or a recommendation by BlackRock regarding (i) any funds, (ii) the use or suitability of the model portfolios or (iii) any security in particular.

7 Investing involves risk. Information concerning portfolio allocations and holdings is representative of the target portfolio for this strategy and does not necessarily reflect an actual account. Actual portfolios may differ as a result of account size, client-imposed investment restrictions, the timing of client investments, market, economic and individual company considerations. Futures and options may not be used in the portfolio to create leverage or for any other reason. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. Any performance information included herein represents the performance achieved by BlackRock as a discretionary investment manager with trade implementation responsibility for the accounts included in the performance composite. The performance shown does not reflect the performance of Model-Based Program accounts managed by a Sponsor or OPM utilizing BlackRock s non-discretionary investment recommendations. In Model-Based Programs, although it is generally contemplated that the Sponsor or OPM will implement BlackRock s investment recommendations in Program accounts, the performance of such accounts may differ from the performance shown for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: the Sponsor or OPM, and not BlackRock, is responsible for implementing trades in the accounts; differences in market conditions; client-imposed investment restrictions; the timing of client investments and withdrawals; fees payable by Model-Based Program accounts; and/or other factors. The performance results to the end of the most recent calendar quarter represent the performance of one fully discretionary, unconstrained, proprietary separate account that did not pay any fees, managed in this style by the firm for at least one month. Composite and benchmark/index performance results reflect realized and unrealized appreciation and the reinvestment of dividends, interest, and/or capital gains. Taxes have not been deducted. Gross composite returns do not reflect actual performance because they do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. Certain performance figures do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees (please refer to Part 2 of BlackRock s Form ADV) in the case of both separate investment accounts and mutual funds; but they do reflect commissions, other expenses (except custody), and reinvestment of earnings. Such fees that a client may incur in the management of their investment advisory account may reduce the client s return. The net of fees performance figures reflect the deduction of actual investment advisory fees but do not reflect the deduction of custodial fees. All periods longer than one year are annualized. Net composite returns reflect the deduction of an annual fee of 3.00% typically deducted quarterly. Due to the compounding effect of these fees, annual net composite returns may be lower than stated gross returns less stated annual fee. Index returns do not reflect transaction costs or the deduction of fees and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
