iShares® ETFs are managed by BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited ("BlackRock Canada"). Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses
all may be associated with investing in iShares Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual
compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or operational
charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. The funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past
performance may not be repeated. Tax, investment and all other decisions should be made, as appropriate, only with guidance from a qualified professional.
The Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including
management fees and other expenses, were deducted.
Unlike an actual performance record, hypothetical results do not represent actual performance and are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition,
hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. There are frequently differences, including material differences, between hypothetical performance results and the
actual results subsequently achieved by any particular fund. Since trades have not actually been executed, hypothetical results cannot account for the impact of certain
market risks such as lack of liquidity. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or the implementation of any specific investment strategy, which
cannot be fully accounted for the in the preparation of hypothetical results and all of which can adversely affect actual results.
Prior to November 15, 2005, the investment objective of each of XIC, XSB (formerly, XGV), XSP and XIN was to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of,
respectively: S&P®/TSX® 60 Capped Index; the return of a bond issued by the Government of Canada with a five-year term to maturity; S&P 500 Index; and MSCI EAFE
Index. Prior to December 2004, the investment objective of XBB (formerly XGX) was to replicate the return of a bond issued by the Government of Canada with a ten-year
term to maturity. Prior to December 15, 2006, the investment objective of XGD was to replicate the return of the S&P/TSX Capped Gold Index. Consequently, performance
prior to November 15, 2005 for XIC, XSB, XSP and XIN, prior to December 16, 2004 for XBB and prior to December 15, 2006 for XGD may have been materially different than it
would have been under the current respective investment objectives. Inception date is the date of the first subscription for units of the fund and the first calculation of net
asset value per unit. Tax, investment and all other decisions should be made, as appropriate, only with guidance from a qualified professional.
