Amounts in the table are rounded to the nearest basis point, which in some cases may be “0.00.” The investment advisory agreement between BlackRock ETF Trust (the “Trust”) and BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) provides that BFA will pay all operating expenses of the Fund, except: (i) the management fees, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) taxes, (iv) expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions, (v) distribution fees or expenses, and (vi) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses. The Fund may incur “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.” Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the Fund’s pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.</div> Annual Fund Operating Expenses(ongoing expenses that you pay each year as apercentage of the value of your investments) 0.0027 0 0.0000 0.0000 0.0027 0.0000 0.0027 June 30, 2028 Amounts are based on estimated amounts for the Fund’s current fiscal year.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of owning shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be: 28 87 Portfolio Turnover <div style="margin-top: 4pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. From inception (March 10, 2026) to April 30, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 20% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.20 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="margin-top: 4pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund is actively managed and seeks to pursue its investment objective while seeking to maintain a low tracking error to the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund invests in a portfolio of equity securities of foreign issuers in a disciplined manner, using proprietary return forecast models that incorporate quantitative analysis. These forecast models are designed to identify aspects of mispricing across stocks which the Fund can seek to capture by over- and under-weighting particular stocks, while seeking to control incremental risk. While the Fund primarily invests in securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund may also hold securities that are not included in the MSCI EAFE Index.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of foreign issuers and derivatives that provide investment exposure to such securities or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, equity securities of foreign issuers are equity securities that are components of, or have characteristics similar to, the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index at the time of purchase. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, depositary receipts, and other financial instruments that are components of, or have characteristics similar to, the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index. From time to time, the Fund may invest in shares of companies through “new issues” or initial public offerings (“IPOs”). The Fund may also purchase convertible securities.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund may invest in securities of non‑U.S. issuers that can be U.S. dollar based or non‑U.S. dollar based on a hedged or unhedged basis. The Fund may enter into currency transactions on a hedged or unhedged basis in order to seek total return.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The MSCI EAFE Index is a capitalization-weighted equity index which, as of July 31, 2026, captures large and mid‑cap representation across 21 developed markets countries around the world, excluding the United States and Canada. With 672 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund may use derivatives, including options, futures, options on futures, swaps (including, but not limited to, total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference) and forward contracts, to seek to increase the return of the Fund, to hedge (or protect) the value of its assets against adverse movements in currency exchange rates, interest rates and movements in the securities markets and to manage cash flows into or out of the Fund effectively. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from another security, a currency or an index, including but not limited to the MSCI EAFE Index. The use of options, futures, swaps and forward contracts can be effective in protecting or enhancing the value of the Fund’s assets.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund is classified as non‑diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">BFA constructs and rebalances the portfolio by integrating its investment insights with the model- based optimization process. The investment process leverages fundamentally informed and data-driven insights, which may use a range of factors to generate investment ideas, including macroeconomic inputs, company fundamentals, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods including large language models, sentiment analysis, factor and thematic insights, and measures of whether a security is over- or under-valued.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its investments.</div> Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of foreign issuers and derivatives that provide investment exposure to such securities or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities.

Investments selected using these models may perform differently than as forecasted due to the factors incorporated into the models and the weighting of each factor, changes from historical trends, and issues in the construction and implementation of the models (including, but not limited to, software issues, issues related to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI”), and other technological issues). There is no guarantee that BFA’s use of these models will result in effective investment decisions for the Fund.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">The information and data used in the models may be supplied by third parties. Inaccurate or incomplete data may limit the effectiveness of the models. In addition, some of the data that BFA uses may be historical data, which may not accurately predict future market movement. There is a risk that the models will not be successful in selecting investments or in determining the weighting of investment positions that will enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Assets Under Management (AUM) Risk. </span></span>From time to time, an Authorized Participant (as defined in the<span style="font-style: italic;"> Creations and Redemptions</span> section of the Prospectus), a third-party investor, the Fund’s adviser, an affiliate of the Fund’s adviser, or another fund may invest in the Fund and hold its investment for a specific period of time to allow the Fund to achieve size or scale. There can be no assurance that any such entity would not redeem its investment or that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels, which could negatively impact the Fund.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Authorized Participant Concentration Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span> Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. There are a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants for the Fund, including on an agency basis on behalf of other market participants. No Authorized Participant is obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or do not place creation or redemption orders for the Fund and no other Authorized Participant places orders, Fund shares are more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Convertible Securities Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span> The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest, principal or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock, including the potential for increased volatility in the price of the convertible security.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Counterparty Risk. </span></span>The counterparty to an over‑the‑counter derivatives contract or a borrower of the Fund’s securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations. Any such failure to honor its obligations may cause significant losses to the Fund.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Depositary Receipts Risk. </span></span>Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. In addition to investment risks associated with the underlying issuer, depositary receipts expose the Fund to additional risks associated with the non‑uniform terms that apply to depositary receipt programs, credit exposure to the depository bank and to the sponsors and other parties with whom the depository bank establishes the programs, currency risk and the risk of an illiquid market for depositary receipts. The issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose information that is, in the United States, considered material. Therefore, there may be less information available regarding these issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the depositary receipts. While depositary receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing underlying foreign securities in their respective markets and currencies, they continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including political, economic, and currency risk.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Derivatives Risk.</span></span> The Fund’s use of derivatives may increase its costs, reduce the Fund’s returns and/or increase volatility. Derivatives involve significant risks, including:</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Leverage Risk. </span>The Fund’s use of derivatives can magnify the Fund’s gains and losses. Relatively small</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">market movements may result in large changes in the value of a derivatives position and can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Market Risk</span>. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations than other securities. The Fund could also suffer losses related to its derivatives positions as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. Finally, BFA may not be able to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates and other economic factors, which could cause the Fund’s derivatives positions to lose value.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Counterparty Risk</span>. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will be unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, and the related risks of having concentrated exposure to such a counterparty.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Illiquidity Risk</span>. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Operational Risk</span>. The use of derivatives includes the risk of potential operational issues, including documentation issues, settlement issues, systems failures, inadequate controls and human error.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Legal Risk</span>. The risk of insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of counterparty, or legality or enforceability of a contract.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Volatility and Correlation Risk</span>. Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a short time period. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate with the overall securities markets.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Valuation Risk. </span>Valuation for derivatives may not be readily available in the market. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Hedging Risk</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying security, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions will be effective. The use of hedging may result in certain adverse tax consequences.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Tax Risk. </span>Certain aspects of the tax treatment of derivative instruments, including swap agreements and commodity-linked derivative instruments, are currently unclear and may be affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. Such treatment may be less favorable than that given to a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Foreign Currency Transactions Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> The Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not eliminate movements in the value of non‑U.S. currencies and securities but rather allow the Fund to establish a fixed rate of exchange for a future point in time. This strategy can have the effect of reducing returns and minimizing opportunities for gain.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Geographic Concentration Risk.</span></span> From time to time the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance. The Fund’s investment performance may also be more volatile if it concentrates its investments in certain countries, especially emerging market countries.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">High Portfolio Turnover Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark‑ups and other transaction costs on the sale of the securities and on reinvestment in other securities. The sale of Fund portfolio securities may result in the realization and/or distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains or losses as compared to a fund with less active trading policies, such as index ETFs. These effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect Fund performance.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Large-Capitalization Companies Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller-capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions and competitive challenges. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller-capitalization companies. The performance of large-capitalization companies could trail the overall performance of the broader securities markets.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Large Shareholder and Large-Scale Redemption Risk. </span></span>Certain shareholders, including an Authorized Participant, a third-party investor, the Fund’s adviser or an affiliate of the Fund’s adviser, a market maker, or another entity, may from time to time own or manage a substantial amount of Fund shares, or may invest in the Fund and hold their investment for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder or large group of shareholders would not redeem their investment.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">Redemptions of a large number of Fund shares could require the Fund to dispose of assets to meet the redemption requests, which can accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or capital gains and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to its shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. In addition, under certain circumstances, non redeeming shareholders may be treated as receiving a disproportionately large taxable distribution during or with respect to such year. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation of large redemptions, diluting its investment returns. To the extent the Fund permits redemptions in cash, these large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities when it might not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV, increase the Fund’s brokerage costs and/or have a material effect on the market price of the Fund shares.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Leverage Risk. </span></span>Some transactions may give rise to a form of economic leverage. These transactions may include, among others, derivatives, and may expose the Fund to greater risk and increase its costs. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act, and the rules thereunder. Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be magnified when the Fund uses leverage.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Market Risk and Selection Risk. </span></span>Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. An investor could lose money over short periods due to fluctuation in the Fund’s net asset value in response to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities or other investments held by the Fund may underperform the markets, the relevant indices or benchmarks, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies, or may otherwise fail to</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">perform as intended. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. The success of a Fund’s activities could be affected by interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, tariffs and trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions, currency exchange controls, and local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events. The Fund seeks to pursue its investment objective by using proprietary models that incorporate quantitative analysis and is subject to</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">“Model Risk” as described above.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">Recent policy initiatives undertaken by the U.S. government have the potential to impact international relations, trade agreements and the overall regulatory environment in ways that could create uncertainty and instability in domestic and global markets, and could adversely affect the investment performance of the Fund. In particular, actions taken by the U.S. government in respect of international trade relations could lead to trade wars, increased costs for imported goods, disruptions in supply chains, reduced foreign investment, and instability in regions where the Fund invests.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Market Trading Risk. </span></span>The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares (including through a trading halt), losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility, and disruptions in the process of creating and redeeming Fund shares. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund’s shares trading in the secondary market at a premium or discount to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings. If you buy Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to NAV or sell Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to NAV, you may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the Fund shares.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Mid Cap Securities Risk. </span></span>The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">New Fund Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">. </span>The<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Fund is new and has limited or no performance history as of the date of this prospectus. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure, and in turn, the Fund’s returns for limited periods of time. While the Fund is new, it may temporarily not be fully invested consistent with the principal investment strategies disclosed in its prospectus.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">“New Issues” Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> “New issues” are IPOs of equity securities. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shortly after the IPO.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Non‑Diversification Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> The Fund is a non‑diversified fund. Because the Fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Operational and Technology Risks.</span></span> The Fund is directly and indirectly susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI”), which may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund’s operations. While the Fund’s service providers are required to have appropriate operational, information security and cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures, their methods of risk management may differ from those of the Fund. Operational and technology risks for the issuers in which the Fund invests could also result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Fund’s investments in such issuers to lose value.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Preferred Securities Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than preferred securities of larger companies.</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Small Fund Risk</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span> When the Fund’s size is small, the Fund may experience low trading volume and wide bid/ask spreads. The Fund’s performance near its inception date may not represent how the Fund will perform in the future or with a larger asset base. In addition, the Fund may face the risk of being delisted if it does not meet certain requirements set by the listing exchange. Any resulting liquidation of the Fund could lead to elevated transaction costs for the Fund and negative tax consequences for its shareholders.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span></div> Performance Information <div style="margin-top: 4pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;">As of the date of this prospectus (the “Prospectus”), the Fund does not have a full calendar year of performance information to report. The Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI EAFE Index (Net).</div> As of the date of this prospectus (the “Prospectus”), the Fund does not have a full calendar year of performance information to report. As described in the “Management” section of the Fund’s prospectus beginning on page 16, BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees in an amount equal to the aggregate Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, if any, attributable to investments by the Fund in other equity and fixed-income mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) advised by BFA or its affiliates through June 30, 2028. BFA has also contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees in an amount equal to the aggregate Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, if any, attributable to investments by the Fund in money market funds managed by BFA or its affiliates through June 30, 2028. The agreement (with respect to either waiver) may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the non‑interested trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Amounts are based on estimated amounts for the Fund’s current fiscal year.
