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).

BlackRock is not responsible for determining the appropriateness or suitability of the model portfolios or any other portfolios, or any of the securities included therein, for any client of a financial professional. Information concerning the model portfolios or any other portfolios – including holdings, performance, and other characteristics – may vary materially from any portfolios or accounts derived from the model portfolios or any other portfolios included in this material.

Performance of such managed account strategies, which reflects the impact of advisory fees, trading, and other factors, is available upon request.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The model portfolios include investments in shares of funds. Clients will indirectly bear fund expenses in respect of portfolio assets allocated to funds, in addition to any fees payable associated with any applicable advisory or wrap program. For models provided by BlackRock, BlackRock intends to allocate all or a significant percentage of the model portfolios to funds for which it and/or its affiliates serve as investment manager and/or are compensated for services provided to the funds (\"BlackRock Affiliated Funds\"). BlackRock has an incentive to (a) select BlackRock Affiliated Funds and (b) select BlackRock Affiliated Funds with higher fees over BlackRock Affiliated Funds with lower fees. The fees that BlackRock and its affiliates receive from investments in the BlackRock Affiliated Funds constitute BlackRock’s compensation with respect to the model portfolios. This may result in model portfolios that achieve a level of performance less favorable to the model portfolios, or reflect higher fees, than otherwise would be the case if BlackRock did not allocate to BlackRock Affiliated Funds.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Any information on funds not managed by BlackRock or securities not distributed by BlackRock is provided for illustration only and should not be construed as an offer or solicitation from BlackRock to buy or sell any securities. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This information is intended for use in the United States.

Index performance does not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\"). Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Alternative investments may be less liquid than investments in traditional securities.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Commodities' prices may be highly volatile. Prices may be affected by various economic, financial, social and political factors, which may be unpredictable and may have a significant impact on the prices of precious metals.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","RISKPROFILE_MODERATE_AGGRESSIVE":"Moderate Aggressive (65-<80% Target Equity Exposure)","MPUF_JEX_DISCLOSURE":"The equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by 100% S&P National Municipal Bond Index.The equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by 100% S&P National Municipal Bond Index.","MPUF_SYGI_DISCLOSURE":"The Moderately Conservative Benchmark is represented by 10.0% S&P 500 High Dividend Index/10.0% Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index TR/10.0% Morningstar Global ex-US Dividend Growth Net Index/22.67% iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index/45.33% iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index/2.0% ICE BofA 3 Month Treasury Bill Index.

Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","MPUF_ULS_DISCLOSURE":"The equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 45% MSCI ACWI Index and 55% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by 50% BBG US Universal 1-5 Year Index, 50% BBG US Universal 5-10 Years Index and a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month.

The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries.

Higher quality, longer duration bonds fared less well as the soft-landing narrative gained traction with growth remaining resilient despite global central banks continuing on their tightening trajectory. The U.S. Federal Reserve again raised interest rates after pausing in June citing core inflationary pressures and resilient economic and employment data. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank took rates to their highest level in history, although hope has grown for the possibility of a pause in September as signs of easing inflation are building and concern grows that the bank is hiking into an inevitable recession.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The July CPI report came in softer than expected and was consistent with the broad trend in moderating inflation. Prices climbed 3.2% on an annual basis versus the consensus estimate of 3.3%. However, core CPI, which excludes more volatile food and energy prices, rose 4.7% and remains well above the Fed’s long-term 2% target. Meanwhile, the U.S. producer price index (PPI) surprised to the upside, rising at an annual rate of 0.8% compared to estimates of 0.7%, driven by costs of services. So, while we remain optimistic on the downward trend in U.S. inflation and the tailwind that provides for a soft-landing, we are not yet out of the woods and we believe central banks will remain steadfast in their efforts.</p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<p>All models posted positive total returns for the month of July but underperformed their benchmarks. Dividend stocks, a diversified multi-asset exposure, and high yield bonds were the largest absolute contributors. Despite lagging riskier credit, the selected active investment grade credit strategy also contributed, notably outperforming the model’s investment grade benchmark. However, this was partially offset by a non-benchmark exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities, which ended the month in negative territory. The largest relative detractor for the month was high dividend equity selection, primarily driven by underperformance of an active income-oriented equity strategy.</p>","TARGET_ALLOCATION_SMART_BETA_COMMENTARY_PERFORMANCE":"<p>As of 7/31/23</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>PERFORMANCE</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>As record summer temps scorched the US, stocks continued to sizzle, extending the S&amp;P500&rsquo;s hot streak to four months.

While recession risk remains elevated over the intermediate term, year to date data is not consistent with an imminent sharp retrenchment in growth and recent economic data has been mixed. For instance, regional manufacturing surveys have been markedly weaker whereas retail sales have remained remarkably resilient. Meanwhile, job quits declined again in April, signaling a normalizing labor market, even as the overall level of wage growth remains elevated. More broadly, the continued cooling of inflation gave the Federal Reserve the room they needed to “skip” in their June meeting. However, the month on month core inflation rate is still meaningfully higher than Fed’s long-term target so we believe rate cuts remain unlikely in the near future.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, we continue to believe a balanced risk-taking posture remains appropriate. We believe upside potential in dividend stocks has improved relative to credit markets, where spreads have tightened year to date. Dividend stocks have also meaningfully lagged the broad S&amp;P 500 given the concentration of returns in a handful of technology names that have buoyed the entire index. We believe this rally has room to broaden out and therefore reduced a strategy with concentrated sector exposures in favor of more diversified U.S. dividend payers with attractive valuations and where we perceive the bar to beat expectations as lower.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spreads on high yield bonds have retraced their March wides and are currently approaching their year to date tights. Less attractive valuations, combined with a far greater volatility profile, led us to trim in favor of agency mortgages, an area we had allocated to in our April rebalance. These mortgages are backed by government agencies and thus high quality in nature. We also believe they may benefit more than Treasuries if interest rate volatility subsides given this would reduce prepayment risk (which, when elevated, weighs on the price of mortgages).  </p>","ESTIMATED_RISK_HEADER":"Current Risk","MINI_COMPARE_DIALOG_SUBTITLE":"NOTE: If you select a different model portfolio, it may not align with the previously selected goal.","CAPITAL_PRESERVATION_EXPLORE_CARD_CONTENT":"Seek to limit downside (0%-50% equity)","ML_CORE_ALLOCATION_ALTS_TAX_AWARE_COMMENTARY_RO_TRADE_NOTICE":"iCRMH0123U/S-2668182","TRADEFREQUENCY_SEMI_ANNUALLY":"Tax-Aware (2-4x per year)","MPUF_KSGI_DISCLOSURE":"The Conservative Benchmark is represented by 3.3% S&P 500 High Dividend Index/3.3% Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index TR/3.3% Morningstar Global ex-US Dividend Growth Net Index/29.3% iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index/58.7% iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index/2.0% ICE BofA 3 Month Treasury Bill Index.

However, over the quarter, we observed a resoundingly strong equity market, with mixed results across broader asset classes. With fears of a US default on its financial obligations in the rearview, equities charged ahead powered by the disproportionate growth of technology companies at the top of most equity indices. &nbsp;US Large Cap and International Equities both delivered solid gains across the quarter. While not all equities were treated equally this quarter (and year) &ndash; dispersion remained very elevated from levels seen pre-COVID &ndash; the broader equity market did participate in the rally, with small cap stocks also generating a modest return over the quarter. International equity returns were largely driven by increases in valuations, rather than by strength in earnings, as investors&rsquo; concerns of an impending recession were dimmed, and emerging technologies showed great promise for helping companies drive an increasing share of revenue to their bottom lines. In contrast, fixed income markets have told a less exuberant tale year to date. &nbsp;Headline CPI, the primary inflation metric published by the Federal Reserve, showed softening inflation throughout the quarter. Unfortunately core CPI, which strips out many of the most volatile components of the headline CPI metric, has remained largely unchanged from the end of 2022. The implication on bond markets is that though the Federal Reserve decided to take a pause from further interest rate hikes in its June meeting, the probability of future hikes remains very high. With moderating inflation and relatively steady interest rates, TIPS experienced slightly negative performance over the quarter but remain positive YTD. After a very strong 2022 in which commodities were really the only bright spot for multi-asset investors, 2023 has shown a departure from broader markets. A combination of softening global demand, warmer winters particularly in Europe, and recoveries in supply chains following 2022&rsquo;s challenges arising from the conflict in Ukraine, have led to declines in commodities markets.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>All model portfolios delivered positive returns, with seven out of the ten model portfolios outperforming their benchmarks for the quarter.

Market sentiment remained complacent, and volatility sedated. Tech stocks ended the month higher but lost some shine, as market leadership broadened to YTD underperformers, like value factor stocks. Commodity prices also rebounded after a sluggish start to the year, partly fueled by GDP figures that surprised to the upside. Global stocks, led by commodity-rich emerging markets, moved higher on improved growth prospects. The June CPI print came in softer than expectations, but the Federal Reserve nonetheless again raised rates at its July meeting and reiterated a focus on data dependency for future decisions (futures markets think the Fed is done). Treasuries and higher-quality bonds faced pressure as hopes grew for a &lsquo;goldilocks&rsquo; soft landing and decreasing odds of recession - but with it perhaps structurally higher rates.

As inflation appears to follow a path of reticent decline, GDP growth carries on far from recession, the labor market persists in its tightness at an absolute level, and risky credit trades in the range of historically median valuation. Nonetheless, there are tentative signs of a softening economy, with notable examples including (modestly) decelerating employment compensation, accelerating speculative grade defaults (from a low level), and Loan Officers imposing more stringent lending standards.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Considering the balance of risks, it is straightforward to break for either a bearish or bullish outlook on the dominant Fixed-income risk factors. However, the threat of the long and variable lags of monetary policy, as well as the contrary possibility of a stubbornly higher level of inflation going forward, is set against a highly inverted yield curve with very attractive short-maturity, low-risk interest rates.&nbsp; We capitalize on this perspective by buying predominantly floating-rate Treasuries. These securities, with their frequent interest-rate resets, have very small price sensitivity to the yield curve. We barbell these purchases with small amounts of 20+ Treasuries to soften the decline in portfolio rate sensitivity with little cost to portfolio yield.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>These purchases are funded by combinations of intermediate Treasuries, mortgages, bank loans, and in one case, high yield bonds. The purchase and sale combination are done in proportions that reduce portfolio duration, while replacement of speculative grade bonds with Treasuries reduces portfolio credit sensitivity a modest amount.</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>Amidst all of this, we do maintain meaningful positions in nontrivial-duration and credit-risky assets, but at reduced levels.

During July, cyclical sectors such as Energy, Industrials and Materials were among the best performing stocks in the global indexes.

Long-dated U.S. government bonds fell, however, as the U.S. Federal Reserve resumed it’s increase of the Fed funds rate at the end of the month and signaled that further rate hikes might still be warranted in the future, absent continued progress on the inflation front. Somewhat surprisingly, other forms of sovereign debt, such as municipal bonds and international bonds, generally rose during the month. Municipal bonds continued to benefited from a seasonal lull in issuance. International developed-market bond prices were aided a weakening U.S. dollar.

Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","MARKET_UPDATE":"Market Update","INVESTMENT_PROCESS_STEP1_DESC_TA_MODELS":"Strategic asset allocation begins with a broad benchmark and tilts to rewarded sources of returns to reflect our long-term views","MINI_COMPARE_DIALOG_TITLE":"Compare model portfolios","MPUF_BTX_DISCLOSURE":"<p>As of 7/1/2021, for all models except the Target Allocation Tax-Aware Multi-Manager with Alts Equity Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the S&amp;P National Municipal Bond Index.

We think the financial cracks are unlikely to deter central banks from trying to get inflation back closer to their targets.

To offset the increased active risk budget in the mid and longer dated model portfolios, we are reducing the active International Equities exposure and increasing the International Equities Index exposure as we believe they could potentially offer better risk-adjusted returns. For investors with shorter investment horizons, we reduced international equities exposures and increased fixed income exposure in the short-dated model portfolios to help lower the active risk in the portfolios. We also slightly raised Active Fixed Income exposures in mid-dated model portfolios to counterbalance the reduced active risk budget.</p>","TARGET_ALLOCATION_HYBRID_COMMENTARY_RO_TRADE_NOTICE":"iCRMH0723U/S-3009674","FUND_PERF_LOAD_ADJ_RETURNS_10Y":"10YR","FUND_PERF_STD_MKT":"Quarterly Returns - Market (%)","RISK_MODERATE":"Moderate","QUAR_MARKET_UDPATE":"Quarterly-Trading Market Update","MAI_BLK_PIMCO_GROWTH_AND_INCOME_TA_COMMENTARY_RO":"iCRMH0823U/S-3069098","MPUF_FTA_DISCLOSURE":"As of 7/1/2021, for all models except the Foundations Core 100/0 model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index.

Although far from fully subdued, the June CPI data stood in stark contrast to the 9% annual CPI rate for the 1-year period ended June 2022, which now stands as the peak in the current cycle. Stocks were also supported by higher-than-expected economic growth and better-than-expected earnings. Per Bloomberg, 2Q’23 GDP came in at 2.4%, substantially higher than the 1.8% Wall Street consensus estimate. Meanwhile, Factset observed that with 51% of S&amp;P 500 companies having reported 2Q’23 earnings per share (EPS)† through July 28, 80% exceeded consensus EPS estimates, exceeded consensus revenue estimates.</p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Stocks extend recent gains, led by U.S. small-caps: </strong>Global equities, as measured by the MSCI World Index, advanced +3.4% in July. The combination of lower-than-expected inflation and better than expected economic growth continued to boost U.S. small-cap stocks, which tend to have higher concentrations of cyclical stocks than do their large-cap peers. During July, cyclical sectors such as Energy, Industrials and Materials were among the best performing stocks in the global indexes. Outside the U.S., emerging market stocks were among the equity market’s best performing segments, as investors anticipated that China’s government would provide policy support to shore up consumer confidence as economic growth in the country has struggled to find its footing post COVID.</p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Credit rallies on growth data, but long-term Treasuries fall: </strong>Global bond performance was split in July. Corporate bonds advanced as the prospects of better than anticipated U.S. economic growth lowered the likelihood of recession and corporate defaults. Long-dated U.S. government bonds fell, however, as the U.S. Federal Reserve resumed it’s increase of the Fed funds rate at the end of the month and signaled that further rate hikes might still be warranted in the future, absent continued progress on the inflation front. Somewhat surprisingly, other forms of sovereign debt, such as municipal bonds and international bonds, generally rose during the month. Municipal bonds continued to benefited from a seasonal lull in issuance. International developed-market bond prices were aided  a weakening U.S. dollar.

The BlackRock model portfolios do not constitute research, are not personalized investment advice or an investment recommendation from BlackRock to any client of a third party financial professional, and are intended for use only by a financial professional, with other information, as a resource to help build a portfolio or as an input in the development of investment advice for its own clients.

The BlackRock model portfolios, allocations, and data are subject to change.

Clients will indirectly bear fund expenses in respect of portfolio assets allocated to funds, in addition to any fees payable associated with any applicable advisory or wrap program. BlackRock intends to allocate all or a significant percentage of the BlackRock model portfolios to funds for which it and/or its affiliates serve as investment manager and/or are compensated for services provided to the funds (\"BlackRock Affiliated Funds\"). BlackRock has an incentive to (a) select BlackRock Affiliated Funds and (b) select BlackRock Affiliated Funds with higher fees over BlackRock Affiliated Funds with lower fees. The fees that BlackRock and its affiliates receive from investments in the BlackRock Affiliated Funds constitute BlackRock’s compensation with respect to the BlackRock model portfolios.

Certain closed-end funds are “interval funds” that are not listed for trading on any securities exchange and are designed primarily for long-term investors. An investment in “interval funds”, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid and is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Investors may be unable to reduce their exposure to such funds during any market downturn. Shares of an “interval fund” are not redeemable at an investor’s option nor are they exchangeable for shares of any other fund, although the fund periodically offers to repurchase shares from outstanding shareholders. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional details. A closed-end fund’s dividend yield, market price and NAV will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited.  There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\").  Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Alternative investments may be less liquid than investments in traditional securities.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Commodities' prices may be highly volatile. Prices may be affected by various economic, financial, social and political factors, which may be unpredictable and may have a significant impact on the prices of precious metals.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

More broadly, the continued cooling of inflation gave the Federal Reserve the room they needed to “skip” in their June meeting. However, the month on month core inflation rate is still meaningfully higher than Fed’s long-term target so we believe rate cuts remain unlikely in the near future.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, we continue to believe a balanced risk-taking posture remains appropriate. We believe upside potential in dividend stocks has improved relative to credit markets, where spreads have tightened year to date. Dividend stocks have also meaningfully lagged the broad S&amp;P 500 given the concentration of returns in a handful of technology names that have buoyed the entire index. We believe this rally has room to broaden out and therefore reduced a strategy with concentrated sector exposures in favor of more diversified U.S. dividend payers with attractive valuations and where we perceive the bar to beat expectations as lower.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spreads on municipal high yield bonds have retraced their March wides and are currently at year to date tights. Less attractive valuations, combined with a greater volatility profile, led us to trim in favor of a flexible municipal bond strategy with the ability to dynamically adjust to the changing market backdrop.</p>","MPUF_PEX_DISCLOSURE":"For all models except the 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the S&P National Municipal Bond Index.

Market sentiment remained complacent, and volatility sedated. Tech stocks ended the month higher but lost some shine, as market leadership broadened to YTD underperformers, like value factor stocks. Commodity prices also rebounded after a sluggish start to the year, partly fueled by GDP figures that surprised to the upside. Global stocks, led by commodity-rich emerging markets, moved higher on improved growth prospects. The June CPI print came in softer than expectations, but the Federal Reserve nonetheless again raised rates at its July meeting and reiterated a focus on data dependency for future decisions (futures markets think the Fed is done). Treasuries and higher-quality bonds faced pressure as hopes grew for a &lsquo;goldilocks&rsquo; soft landing and decreasing odds of recession - but with it perhaps structurally higher rates. In China, economic growth slowed in the second quarter, but policy easing and hopes for further stimulus contributed to positive returns in local markets.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>All models delivered positive absolute returns but underperformed their benchmarks for the month. US growth, international developed market value-oriented, liquid alternative strategies and emerging market stocks were the primary contributors to return. Allocations to US technology and healthcare stocks added to total performance but weighed on relative return. The largest absolute detractors came from the fixed income side of the portfolio, with relatively muted losses coming from intermediate- and long-term US treasuries. Municipal bonds slightly contributed to performance over the month.</p>","ML_CORE_ALLOCATION_ALTS_TAX_AWARE_COMMENTARY":"<p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Seeking to enhance the overall quality and resilience of the portfolio</strong>, cutting net exposure to stocks and riskier bonds amidst unusually elevated uncertainty</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Continuing to rotate out of names with the most embedded active risk</strong>, and selling out of US small caps and momentum-oriented stocks</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Adding to growth-oriented US large cap and international developed market stocks, </strong>reducing exposure to financials</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Maintaining an overweight to duration, </strong>consolidating the fixed income sleeve to emphasize quality and diversification characteristics</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Trade Rationale:</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The collapse of two sizable US regional banks - and the decisive and unprecedented response by the FDIC and Treasury - showcase the real-world practical consequences of rapid financial tightening.

Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","MPUF_AEC_DISCLOSURE":"The equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index while the fixed income and liquid alternatives portions are represented by 100% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

One of the more recent, and convincing, examples of the resiliency of the U.S. economy was recent release of 2Q’23 GDP, which was reported at 2.4% versus consensus estimates of just 1.8% (per Bloomberg). Meanwhile, the most recent U.S. jobs data indicated that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.5% in July, revisiting lows that it has not experienced since the late 1960’s. Finally, 2Q’23 S&amp;P 500 earnings results generally surprised favorably. According to FactSet, with roughly 80% of S&amp;P 500 companies having reported earnings for 2Q’23 through the second week of August, 84% have exceeded consensus earnings per share (EPS)* estimates, well above the 10-year average of 73%.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This generally better-than-expected economic and profit performance has not gone unnoticed by equity investors, with U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&amp;P 500 Index, having returned over +16.8 YTD through 6/30/23 (per Bloomberg). What some investors may not realize, however, is that a large proportion of the S&amp;P 500 Index’s YTD gains have been driven by a relatively small-handful of mega-cap Technology stocks, whose impact on the broader index’s returns is disproportionately high, due to the massive market capitalizations these stocks possess. Since late May, we have begun to witness market leadership broaden out beyond mega-cap Tech, toward cyclicals. Considering the resiliency of the U.S. economy, we believe this trend may continue for the intermediate term. As a result, we introduced an equal-weighted S&amp;P 500 Index ETF across most risk profiles in an effort to capitalize on this subtle shift in investor sentiment, while continuing to maintain existing tilts emphasizing both the “quality” factor and the “growth at a reasonable price” (GARP) investment style. Overseas, we added exposure to an international equity ETF, largely at the expense of a European equity ETF. The purpose of this adjustment was to reduce a longstanding underweight to Japanese stocks. Although a continuing deceleration in global growth (particularly China) may pose a headwind for Japan’s exporters, a vibrant domestic economy, swiftly recovering from COVID induced lockdowns, is likely to support above average consumption within the country.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Across bonds, we reduced our underweight to duration following a sharp rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. As it remains our expectation that the U.S. economy will avoid recession and because we anticipate that U.S. inflation will follow a path of prolonged - but choppy - deceleration, we are not inclined to rotate toward overweight exposures to duration at the current time.  That said, the recent rise in long yields, coupled with reduced liquidity caused by seasonal factors provides sufficient reason to tactically reduce our duration underweight as we move toward late summer. Seasonal factors were also the reason we continued to reduce some of our U.S. high yield exposures in our more aggressive models, sacrificing some carry in favor of slightly lower risk profiles.</p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<p>* Earnings per share (EPS) is a measure of a company’s profitability. The ratio is the company’s net profit divided by the number of common shares it has outstanding.</p>","SECTOR_ROTATION_COMMENTARY_RO_TRADE_NOTICE":"iCRMH0723U/S-3009555","MODELCATEGORYTYPE_PMG_FI_GLOBAL_ALLOCATION":"Global Allocation","MODEL_PORTFOLIOS_FOR_WOMEN_COMMENTARY_RO":"iCRMH0723U/S-3016629","MPUF_EMT_DISCLOSURE":"For all models except the Choreo Min-Vol Tax-Deferred 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

Index performance does not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.</strong></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\"). Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus.

In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility.

</strong>favoring broad aggregate bond exposure and reducing exposure to US corporate credit</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Trade Rationale:</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Stocks have climbed a formidable wall of worry since March. Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","PDF_INVESTMENT_PREFERENCES_FACTORS":"Factors","PDF_QUART_RET_DISCLAIMER_2":" ","INVESTMENT_PROCESS_KEY":"Investment Process Pages","MPUF_CDV_DISCLOSURE":"As of 7/1/2021, for all models except the CFS Global Dividend 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","MPUF_ML_DISCLOSURE":"For the Merrill Lynch Core Allocation Taxable models, the Conservative Benchmark is represented by 58% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index, 18.2% MSCI ACWI Index, 7.8% MSCI USA Index, and 16% ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index.

Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? &lsquo;No big deal.&rsquo; Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*. Another series of Fed hikes with short-term rates potentially kissing 6%? &lsquo;Bring it on!&rsquo; A pleasantly surprising run, heroically led by a narrow set of stocks: the &lsquo;Magnificent 7&rsquo; tech giants. Following this dramatic outperformance by those with outsized exposure to the A.I. boom, we&rsquo;re reducing our tech overweight. We expect risk-assets to take a breather in Q3 and for the drivers of return to broaden to YTD laggards, like midcaps.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Does all this mean we&rsquo;re out of the woods? Not necessarily. In our view, while the worst &lsquo;unknown unknowns&rsquo; emanating from the bank failures now appear to be off the table and cuts in lending appear less than severe, stocks have been partially propped up by one-time infusions of liquidity &ndash; from the Fed&rsquo;s emergency bank lending program and the US Treasury&rsquo;s General Account (TGA) balance drawdown &ndash; which are now reversing. Between March and June, these infusions more than offset the Fed&rsquo;s on-going quantitative tightening (QT). But that&rsquo;s behind us now and commercial bank reserves at the Fed are falling again. We think this is likely to cause some market indigestion later in Q3. This explains our cuts to liquidity-sensitive assets like emerging market stocks and lower quality credit.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, we do believe the odds of recession are lower than 4 months ago. This reflects the lingering power of &lsquo;revenge spending&rsquo; by consumers, fueled by post-pandemic pent-up demand and excess savings. But the economy&rsquo;s impressive resilience may also make the endgame battle against inflation trickier than the 9%-3% freefall in CPI the last 12 months. The Fed appears committed to flexing its rate-hiking and QT muscles into the final rounds of this fight, and Treasury markets have re-priced accordingly (perhaps even overshooting). We&rsquo;re taking advantage of this surge to add yield via floating rate Treasuries and TIPS, which we see as having higher than normal real yields, complemented with long-term Treasuries. This barbell strategy may help guard against the cumulative effects of Fed tightening potentially proving to be excessive vs an already weakened foe, bringing to fruition what so many have been calling for the last 18 months: the R word.</p>","MPUF_TCX_DISCLOSURE":"For all models except the 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the S&P National Municipal Bond Index.

Certain closed-end funds are “interval funds” that are not listed for trading on any securities exchange and are designed primarily for long-term investors. An investment in “interval funds”, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid and is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Investors may be unable to reduce their exposure to such funds during any market downturn. Shares of an “interval fund” are not redeemable at an investor’s option nor are they exchangeable for shares of any other fund, although the fund periodically offers to repurchase shares from outstanding shareholders. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional details. A closed-end fund’s dividend yield, market price and NAV will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited.  There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\").  Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility.

Higher quality, longer duration bonds fared less well as the soft-landing narrative gained traction with growth remaining resilient despite global central banks continuing on their tightening trajectory. The U.S. Federal Reserve again raised interest rates after pausing in June citing core inflationary pressures and resilient economic and employment data. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank took rates to their highest level in history, although hope has grown for the possibility of a pause in September as signs of easing inflation are building and concern grows that the bank is hiking into an inevitable recession.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The July CPI report came in softer than expected and was consistent with the broad trend in moderating inflation. Prices climbed 3.2% on an annual basis versus the consensus estimate of 3.3%. However, core CPI, which excludes more volatile food and energy prices, rose 4.7% and remains well above the Fed’s long-term 2% target. Meanwhile, the U.S. producer price index (PPI) surprised to the upside, rising at an annual rate of 0.8% compared to estimates of 0.7%, driven by costs of services. So, while we remain optimistic on the downward trend in U.S. inflation and the tailwind that provides for a soft-landing, we are not yet out of the woods and we believe central banks will remain steadfast in their efforts.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>All models posted positive total returns for the month of July but modestly underperformed their benchmarks. Dividend stocks were the largest absolute contributors, followed by a diversified multi-asset exposure and high yield bonds. Higher quality fixed income continued to lag riskier assets, with investment grade corporate bonds being the only core bond sector to deliver positive results this month. As such, an overweight to the sector and an underweight to Treasuries helped boost performance. The largest relative detractor this month was equity selection, primarily due to underperformance of a global dividend income strategy and income-oriented equity strategy. An exposure to international dividend growth stocks also weighed on relative results, having underperformed the model’s broad high dividend benchmark.</p>","PORTFOLIO_COUNT_DISCLOSURE":"Please select + to see the model portfolios available based on the filtering criteria.","TARGET_ALLOCATION_HYBRID_WITH_ALTS_COMMENTARY_RO":"iCRMH0823U/S-3069123","MPUF_AVM_DISCLOSURE":"For all models except the 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

While recession risk remains elevated over the intermediate term, year to date data is not consistent with an imminent sharp retrenchment in growth and recent economic data has been mixed. For instance, regional manufacturing surveys have been markedly weaker whereas retail sales have remained remarkably resilient. Meanwhile, job quits declined again in April, signaling a normalizing labor market, even as the overall level of wage growth remains elevated. More broadly, the continued cooling of inflation gave the Federal Reserve the room they needed to “skip” in their June meeting. However, the month on month core inflation rate is still meaningfully higher than Fed’s long-term target so we believe rate cuts remain unlikely in the near future.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, we continue to believe a balanced risk-taking posture remains appropriate. We believe upside potential in dividend stocks has improved relative to credit markets, where spreads have tightened year to date. Dividend stocks have also meaningfully lagged the broad S&amp;P 500 given the concentration of returns in a handful of technology names that have buoyed the entire index. We believe this rally has room to broaden out and therefore reduced a strategy with concentrated sector exposures in favor of more diversified U.S. dividend payers with attractive valuations and where we perceive the bar to beat expectations as lower.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spreads on high yield bonds have retraced their March wides and are currently approaching their year to date tights. Less attractive valuations, combined with a far greater volatility profile, led us to trim in favor of agency mortgages, an area we had allocated to in our April rebalance. These mortgages are backed by government agencies and thus high quality in nature. We also believe they may benefit more than Treasuries if interest rate volatility subsides given this would reduce prepayment risk (which, when elevated, weighs on the price of mortgages).</p>","MPUF_FLX_DISCLOSURE":"For all models the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the S&P National Municipal Bond Index.

One of the more recent, and convincing, examples of the resiliency of the U.S. economy was recent release of 2Q’23 GDP, which was reported at 2.4% versus consensus estimates of just 1.8% (per Bloomberg). Meanwhile, the most recent U.S. jobs data indicated that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.5% in July, revisiting lows that it has not experienced since the late 1960’s. Finally, 2Q’23 S&amp;P 500 earnings results generally surprised favorably. According to FactSet, with roughly 80% of S&amp;P 500 companies having reported earnings for 2Q’23 through the second week of August, 84% have exceeded consensus earnings per share (EPS)* estimates, well above the 10-year average of 73%.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This generally better-than-expected economic and profit performance has not gone unnoticed by equity investors, with U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&amp;P 500 Index, having returned over +16.8 YTD through 6/30/23 (per Bloomberg). What some investors may not realize, however, is that a large proportion of the S&amp;P 500 Index’s YTD gains have been driven by a relatively small-handful of mega-cap Technology stocks, whose impact on the broader index’s returns is disproportionately high, due to the massive market capitalizations these stocks possess. Since late May, we have begun to witness market leadership broaden out beyond mega-cap Tech, toward cyclicals. Considering the resiliency of the U.S. economy, we believe this trend may continue for the intermediate term. As a result, we introduced an equal-weighted S&amp;P 500 Index ETF across most risk profiles in an effort to capitalize on this subtle shift in investor sentiment, while continuing to maintain existing tilts emphasizing both the “quality” factor and the “growth at a reasonable price” (GARP) investment style. Overseas, we added exposure to an international equity ETF, largely at the expense of a European equity ETF. The purpose of this adjustment was to reduce a longstanding underweight to Japanese stocks. Although a continuing deceleration in global growth (particularly China) may pose a headwind for Japan’s exporters, a vibrant domestic economy, swiftly recovering from COVID induced lockdowns, is likely to support above average consumption within the country.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Across bonds, we reduced our underweight to duration following a sharp rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. As it remains our expectation that the U.S. economy will avoid recession and because we anticipate that U.S. inflation will follow a path of prolonged - but choppy - deceleration, we are not inclined to rotate toward overweight exposures to duration at the current time. That said, the recent rise in long yields, coupled with reduced liquidity caused by seasonal factors provides sufficient reason to tactically reduce our duration underweight as we move toward late summer. On the margin, we modestly added to municipal bonds across most risk profiles as issuance in the sector remains below historical averages.</p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<p>* Earnings per share (EPS) is a measure of a company’s profitability.

While recession risk remains elevated over the intermediate term, year to date data is not consistent with an imminent sharp retrenchment in growth and recent economic data has been mixed. For instance, regional manufacturing surveys have been markedly weaker whereas retail sales have remained remarkably resilient. Meanwhile, job quits declined again in April, signaling a normalizing labor market, even as the overall level of wage growth remains elevated. More broadly, the continued cooling of inflation gave the Federal Reserve the room they needed to “skip” in their June meeting. However, the month on month core inflation rate is still meaningfully higher than Fed’s long-term target so we believe rate cuts remain unlikely in the near future.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, we continue to believe a balanced risk-taking posture remains appropriate. We believe upside potential in dividend stocks has improved relative to credit markets, where spreads have tightened year to date. Dividend stocks have also meaningfully lagged the broad S&amp;P 500 given the concentration of returns in a handful of technology names that have buoyed the entire index. We believe this rally has room to broaden out and therefore reduced a strategy with concentrated sector exposures in favor of more diversified U.S. dividend payers with attractive valuations and where we perceive the bar to beat expectations as lower.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spreads on municipal high yield bonds have retraced their March wides and are currently at year to date tights. Less attractive valuations, combined with a greater volatility profile, led us to trim in favor of a flexible municipal bond strategy with the ability to dynamically adjust to the changing market backdrop.</p>","MPUF_WTB_DISCLOSURE":"<p>The equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index while the fixed income portion is represented by 100% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

Market sentiment remained complacent, and volatility sedated. Tech stocks ended the month higher but lost some shine, as market leadership broadened to YTD underperformers, like value factor stocks. Commodity prices also rebounded after a sluggish start to the year, partly fueled by GDP figures that surprised to the upside. Global stocks, led by commodity-rich emerging markets, moved higher on improved growth prospects. The June CPI print came in softer than expectations, but the Federal Reserve nonetheless again raised rates at its July meeting and reiterated a focus on data dependency for future decisions (futures markets think the Fed is done). Treasuries and higher-quality bonds faced pressure as hopes grew for a &lsquo;goldilocks&rsquo; soft landing and decreasing odds of recession - but with it perhaps structurally higher rates.

Certain closed-end funds are “interval funds” that are not listed for trading on any securities exchange and are designed primarily for long-term investors. An investment in “interval funds”, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid and is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Investors may be unable to reduce their exposure to such funds during any market downturn. Shares of an “interval fund” are not redeemable at an investor’s option nor are they exchangeable for shares of any other fund, although the fund periodically offers to repurchase shares from outstanding shareholders. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional details. A closed-end fund’s dividend yield, market price and NAV will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited.  There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\").  Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility.

Market sentiment remained complacent, and volatility sedated. Tech stocks ended the month higher but lost some shine, as market leadership broadened to YTD underperformers, like value factor stocks. Commodity prices also rebounded after a sluggish start to the year, partly fueled by GDP figures that surprised to the upside. Global stocks, led by commodity-rich emerging markets, moved higher on improved growth prospects. The June CPI print came in softer than expectations, but the Federal Reserve nonetheless again raised rates at its July meeting and reiterated a focus on data dependency for future decisions (futures markets think the Fed is done). Treasuries and higher-quality bonds faced pressure as hopes grew for a &lsquo;goldilocks&rsquo; soft landing and decreasing odds of recession - but with it perhaps structurally higher rates. In China, economic growth slowed in the second quarter, but policy easing and hopes for further stimulus contributed to positive returns in local markets.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>All models delivered positive absolute returns, and most outperformed their benchmarks for the month. Broad US equities, international developed and emerging market stocks were the primary contributors to return. Allocations to US small cap equities also added to total performance. The largest absolute detractors came from the fixed income side of the portfolio, with relatively muted losses coming from intermediate- and long-term US treasuries and mortgage-backed securities exposure. Emerging market bonds outperformed broader bond indices and were the only net positive contributor to return from the fixed income sleeve.</p>","PREFERENCES_ALTERNATIVES":"Alts","MPUF_BEC_DISCLOSURE":"For all models except the 100/0 Model, the equity portion of the benchmark is represented by 70% MSCI ACWI Index and 30% MSCI USA Index, while the fixed income portion is represented by a fixed 2% allocation to the ICE BofAML US T-Bill 0-3 Month Index and the remaining allocation to the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index.

Certain closed-end funds are “interval funds” that are not listed for trading on any securities exchange and are designed primarily for long-term investors. An investment in “interval funds”, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid and is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Investors may be unable to reduce their exposure to such funds during any market downturn. Shares of an “interval fund” are not redeemable at an investor’s option nor are they exchangeable for shares of any other fund, although the fund periodically offers to repurchase shares from outstanding shareholders. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional details. A closed-end fund’s dividend yield, market price and NAV will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities (\"MBS\") and commercial mortgage-backed securities (\"CMBS”) are subject to prepayment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. An investment in a treasury Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>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 and the general securities market.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's use of derivatives may reduce a fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited.  There can be no assurance that any fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics (\"factors\").  Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>A fund's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. A fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Alternative investments present the opportunity for significant losses and some alternative investments have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Alternative investments may be less liquid than investments in traditional securities.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Commodities' prices may be highly volatile. Prices may be affected by various economic, financial, social and political factors, which may be unpredictable and may have a significant impact on the prices of precious metals.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

This is a more timely view of risk because it is based on current exposures, as compared to the historical volatility of portfolio returns. Current Risk is a probability-based measure that can help you understand how much dispersion you might have around an expected return. This makes it a useful tool in portfolio construction – too much risk can lead to larger drawdowns or larger swings in performance. Too little risk might make it harder to hit return objectives. Current Risk is a measure of volatility presented as an annualized standard deviation, calculated using BlackRock's proprietary Aladdin® risk model.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The risk model measures currently observable, fundamental characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings (“risk factors”) that are demonstrated to explain the volatility of securities prices. The composition of the portfolio’s current exposure to these risk factors, the historical volatility levels of the risk factors themselves, and the correlation between them all come together to determine the Current Risk. Current Risk may differ (sometimes significantly) from historical, realized volatility, depending on changes in portfolio holdings, the time period and assumptions of the risk model. In order to estimate a portfolio’s Current Risk, the model decomposes a fund’s holdings into their underlying risk factors. The level of exposure to a factor for a given security corresponds to the location of that security in the distribution across all securities in the universe for the characteristic in question. Historical volatility and correlations across the factors are taken into account in order to estimate the total risk of the overall portfolio. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The model uses 10 years of monthly history and applies a 36 month half-life in order to estimate the volatility and correlations between factors. This half-life places more emphasis on the last 3 years in the analysis.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Current Risk reflects a holdings-based, annualized volatility (one standard deviation) of the portfolio, which provides an estimate of the range of outcomes that the portfolio may experience over a one year horizon. For example, a Current Risk of 5% means that a portfolio’s return is likely to vary between -5% and +5% over the course of a year around 68% of the time, and between -10% and +10% around 95% of the time.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Neither BlackRock nor the Aladdin portfolio risk model can predict a portfolio's risk of loss due to, among other things, changing market conditions or other unanticipated circumstances. The Aladdin portfolio risk model is based on assumptions using available data and any of its calculations are subject to change. For BlackRock and iShares funds, data about the specific underlying holdings are used when applying the Aladdin risk model. For third-party funds, BlackRock uses underlying holdings, or in certain cases, determines appropriate proxies for relevant holdings using a combination of Morningstar and other publicly available data sources. Product specific inputs for BlackRock, iShares and third-party funds are typically based on the latest disclosed data, which may be lagged.</p>","MPUF_SSI_DISCLOSURE":"The Conservative Benchmark is represented by 3.34% S&P 500 High Dividend Index/3.33% Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index TR/3.33% Morningstar Global ex-US Dividend Growth Net Index/25.33% iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index/58.67% iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index/5% ICE BofA Preferred Stock Fixed Rate Index/1.0% ICE BofA 3 Month Treasury Bill Index.

Market sentiment remained complacent, and volatility sedated. Tech stocks ended the month higher but lost some shine, as market leadership broadened to YTD underperformers, like value factor stocks. Commodity prices also rebounded after a sluggish start to the year, partly fueled by GDP figures that surprised to the upside. Global stocks, led by commodity-rich emerging markets, moved higher on improved growth prospects. The June CPI print came in softer than expectations, but the Federal Reserve nonetheless again raised rates at its July meeting and reiterated a focus on data dependency for future decisions (futures markets think the Fed is done). Treasuries and higher-quality bonds faced pressure as hopes grew for a &lsquo;goldilocks&rsquo; soft landing and decreasing odds of recession - but with it perhaps structurally higher rates. In China, economic growth slowed in the second quarter, but policy easing and hopes for further stimulus contributed to positive returns in local markets.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>All models delivered positive absolute returns but underperformed their benchmarks for the month. Quality factor, international developed market value-oriented, and emerging market stocks were the primary contributors to return.

Now that we believe we have improved clarity (while market participants still exhibit historically excessive bearish sentiment), we begin targeted efforts to gently shift risk across both stocks and bonds.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The confidence to make these moves stems from our belief that inflation has peaked and will likely decelerate at a sufficient pace over the coming months to convince the Fed to pause (but for all practical purposes &lsquo;end&rsquo;, in our view) its rate hiking campaign. If this proves correct, it means the Fed&rsquo;s overtly hawkish rhetoric, and adverse influence on markets, may have also peaked.&nbsp; Softening U.S. inflation and less Fed-hawkishness may also mean a peak in the strength of the US dollar.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Risks of slowing growth or an outright contraction are still substantial, but we don&rsquo;t think the &lsquo;R&rsquo; word is necessarily a foregone conclusion, in contrast to the consensus expectation of professional economists. If the highly anticipated recession refuses to materialize, we see potential upside, and in a mild recession scenario, we think the potential for a substantial further decline in prices for more risky assets may be limited given the sell-off of 2022. US corporations and consumers continue to hold high cash balances and moderate debt burdens (conditions that do not historically precede severe downturns), meaning recession avoidance may not be as improbable as many believe.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The asymmetric risk of these bull/bear outcomes, along with our expectations of a less market-antagonistic Fed that adjusts its pace of policy in the face of cooling inflation, give us conviction that equities could potentially deliver high single-digit returns in 2023. With respect to bonds, after a challenging year in 2022, we believe going forward that fixed income assets may once again play their traditional role as a portfolio diversifier and volatility dampener.</p>","MVAL_PDF_PERFORMANCE_ERROR_MESSAGE":"The report is currently not available.

This is a more timely view of risk because it is based on current exposures, as compared to the historical volatility of portfolio returns. Current Risk is a probability-based measure that can help you understand how much dispersion you might have around an expected return. This makes it a useful tool in portfolio construction – too much risk can lead to larger drawdowns or larger swings in performance. Too little risk might make it harder to hit return objectives. Current Risk is a measure of volatility presented as an annualized standard deviation, calculated using BlackRock's proprietary Aladdin® risk model.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The risk model measures currently observable, fundamental characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings (“risk factors”) that are demonstrated to explain the volatility of securities prices. The composition of the portfolio’s current exposure to these risk factors, the historical volatility levels of the risk factors themselves, and the correlation between them all come together to determine the Current Risk. Current Risk may differ (sometimes significantly) from historical, realized volatility, depending on changes in portfolio holdings, the time period and assumptions of the risk model. In order to estimate a portfolio’s Current Risk, the model decomposes a fund’s holdings into their underlying risk factors. The level of exposure to a factor for a given security corresponds to the location of that security in the distribution across all securities in the universe for the characteristic in question. Historical volatility and correlations across the factors are taken into account in order to estimate the total risk of the overall portfolio. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The model uses 10 years of monthly history and applies a 36 month half-life in order to estimate the volatility and correlations between factors. This half-life places more emphasis on the last 3 years in the analysis.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Current Risk reflects a holdings-based, annualized volatility (one standard deviation) of the portfolio, which provides an estimate of the range of outcomes that the portfolio may experience over a one year horizon. For example, a Current Risk of 5% means that a portfolio’s return is likely to vary between -5% and +5% over the course of a year around 68% of the time, and between -10% and +10% around 95% of the time.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Neither BlackRock nor the Aladdin portfolio risk model can predict a portfolio's risk of loss due to, among other things, changing market conditions or other unanticipated circumstances. The Aladdin portfolio risk model is based on assumptions using available data and any of its calculations are subject to change. For BlackRock and iShares funds, data about the specific underlying holdings are used when applying the Aladdin risk model. For third-party funds, BlackRock uses underlying holdings, or in certain cases, determines appropriate proxies for relevant holdings using a combination of Morningstar and other publicly available data sources. Product specific inputs for BlackRock, iShares and third-party funds are typically based on the latest disclosed data, which may be lagged.</p>","COMMENTARY_DISCLOSURE":"<br><b>This information should not be relied upon as investment advice, research, or a recommendation by BlackRock regarding (i) the funds, (ii) the use or suitability of the model portfolios or (iii) any security in particular.
