Certain sectors and markets performed exceptionally well based on market conditions during the six-month period. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and investors should not expect that such exceptional returns will be repeated. The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The performance shown above assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results. The iShares MSCI Austria Investable Market Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Austria Investable Market IndexSM (the “Index”). The Index consists of stocks traded primarily on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2011, the total return for the Fund was 32.00%, while the total return for the Index was 32.20%.
