Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The returns presented for the Fund reflect the performance of the Predecessor Fund. Effective January 23, 2026, the Fund adopted performance of the Predecessor Fund as a result of a reorganization in which the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed certain stated liabilities of the Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”). Performance shown below is based on the investment objective and investment strategies utilized by the Predecessor Fund, which were the same as those of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was a mutual fund that was managed by a different investment adviser that was under common control with BFA and had the same portfolio management team as that of the Fund. The returns presented for the Fund reflect the performance of Institutional Shares of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund acquired
all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, a series of BlackRock Funds II, as a result of a different reorganization on September 17, 2018. The performance information of the Predecessor Fund below is based on the performance of the BlackRock GNMA Portfolio for periods prior to the date of such reorganization. The BlackRock GNMA Portfolio had the same investment objective, strategies and policies, portfolio management team and contractual arrangements, including the same contractual fees and expenses, as the Predecessor Fund as of the date of such reorganization. The Predecessor Fund’s and the BlackRock GNMA Portfolio’s total returns prior to January 28, 2025 as reflected in the bar chart and table are the returns of the Predecessor Fund and the BlackRock GNMA Portfolio, as applicable, when each followed a different investment objective and different investment strategies and process under the name “BlackRock GNMA Portfolio.”
