Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Treasury Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing exclusively in a diversified portfolio made up only of short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of not more than 397 days (13 months) that are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior written notice before changing this strategy.
Fund management decides which U.S. Treasury securities to buy and sell based on its assessment of their relative values and future interest rates. The Funds dollar-weighted average maturity will be 60 days or less, and the dollar-weighted average life of all of its investments will be 120 days or less.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Treasury Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of an instrument held by the Fund defaults or if short-term interest rates rise sharply in a manner not anticipated by Fund management. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the Fund.
-
Income Risk
Income risk is the risk that the Funds yield will vary as short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
-
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.
Additionally, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund.
-
Market Risk and Selection Risk
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. Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by the Fund will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. This means you may lose money.
-
Treasury Obligations Risk
Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund.

Payments to Broker/Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and BlackRock Investments, LLC, the Funds distributor, or its affiliates may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
