How did the Fund perform last year?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, the Fund's Institutional Shares returned 6.87%.
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index returned 4.00%, and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 7.50%.
What contributed to performance?
With respect to credit tiers, B and BB rated securities were the leading contributors to absolute performance. At the sector level, the largest contributions came from information technology, property and casualty, and healthcare issues. The Fund used derivatives to manage its portfolio positioning, and this aspect of its strategy was an additional contributor. Holdings in cash also added to absolute returns.
What detracted from performance?
At a time of strong returns for the broader market, no aspect of the Fund’s positioning significantly detracted from absolute performance. With this said, an allocation to D rated securities was a small detractor, as was a position in the construction machinery sector.

Householding
The Fund will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Fund at (800) 441-7762.

How did the Fund perform last year?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, the Fund's Investor C Shares returned 5.82%.
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index returned 4.00%, and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 7.50%.
What contributed to performance?
With respect to credit tiers, B and BB rated securities were the leading contributors to absolute performance. At the sector level, the largest contributions came from information technology, property and casualty, and healthcare issues. The Fund used derivatives to manage its portfolio positioning, and this aspect of its strategy was an additional contributor. Holdings in cash also added to absolute returns.
What detracted from performance?
At a time of strong returns for the broader market, no aspect of the Fund’s positioning significantly detracted from absolute performance. With this said, an allocation to D rated securities was a small detractor, as was a position in the construction machinery sector.

How did the Fund perform last year?
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, the Fund's Class K Shares returned 6.97%.
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index returned 4.00%, and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 7.50%.
What contributed to performance?
With respect to credit tiers, B and BB rated securities were the leading contributors to absolute performance.

On September 17, 2018, the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds II, through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund is the performance and accounting survivor of the Reorganization.
Performance shown prior to the Class K Shares inception date of March 28, 2016 is that of Investor A Shares. The performance of Class K Shares would be substantially similar to Investor A Shares because Class K Shares and Investor A Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that Class K Shares and Investor A Shares have different expenses. The actual returns of Class K Shares would have been higher than those of the Investor A Shares because Class K Shares have lower expenses than the Investor A Shares.

Footnote(c) | For purposes of this report, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

Householding
The Fund will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Fund at (800) 441-7762.
The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, issued, sold, or promoted by Bloomberg Index Services Limited, Morningstar, Inc., and their respective affiliates, nor do these companies make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.
