Annual Report and Audited Accounts[3]


Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018

Dear Shareholder,

I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Global Index Funds (the “Company” or “BGIF”) over the twelve months
to 31 March 2018. The BGIF range comprised 10 funds (each a “Fund”, together the “Funds”) as at 31 March 2018.

The Funds’ performance is covered in more detail in the separate Investment Adviser’s Report. The period under review saw
volatility return as geopolitical tensions started to weigh on investors.

In particular, the US administration’s position on trade tariffs has left investors fearful of a full-scale trade war between the US
and China. China’s response to tariffs on steel and aluminum was initially relatively measured, imposing tariffs worth just £3 billion
on 128 US imports. However, this was followed with more robust moves later on.

At the same time, while the North Korean situation decreased in intensity, Russia/US tensions accelerated over Syria. The move
prompted United Nation’s General Secretary Antonio Guterres to say the Cold War was ‘back with a vengeance’. US President
Donald Trump admitted that the US/Russian relations are as bad as they have ever been. However, the forthcoming meeting
in Helsinki is an attempt to improve relations.

On the opposing side, markets were buoyed by significant tax cuts in the US, as President Donald Trump finally got his tax reform
legislation through Congress. Corporations were a notable beneficiary, with their rate of tax reduced significantly.

This activity was reflected in growing volatility in markets. The S&P ended the period under review higher than where it had started,
but after a strong bounce in December 2017, there was a significant sell-off towards the end of January 2018. The sell-off was
prompted by the US wage data, which seemed to suggest a resurgence in inflation, and therefore that higher interest rates were
imminent. Global stock markets followed the US lead.

The global economy, in contrast, continued to drift higher. While there remain fears that fiscal stimulus and a trade war will trigger
inflation in the US, force rate rises and therefore hasten a recession, there was only isolated evidence for this scenario over
the period. Emerging markets, notably in Asia, continued to show strength.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to improving growth and employment figures, with a further quarter point rise in March
2018, bringing the Fed funds rate to 1.5-1.75 %. Debate continues over whether there will be three or four rate rises in 2018.
Recent comments from new Fed Chair Jay Powell suggest a more hawkish stance.

Stock markets continued their rotation away from more defensive companies, with stable, predictable earnings, cashflow
and dividends, and towards more economically-sensitive areas, such as financials or resources, which looked likely to benefit
from an inflationary environment. In particular, equity income areas performed poorly, as investors anticipated higher bond yields.

For the most part, the US markets continued their leadership, in spite of higher valuations. Performance broadened out
from the large technology companies that had led markets higher for much of 2017, particularly when they became embroiled
in a difficult row about how they use, store and distribute user data.

Elsewhere, Japanese markets also showed strength, buoyed by the supportive policies of the Japanese central bank and
an improving economy. Performance continued to be good among domestically-focused small and mid-cap stocks.

Although Europe had put many of its political problems behind it with the election of centrist, pro-European Emmanuel Macron
as President in 2017, its stock markets were lackluster. The Eurozone economy continued to show strength, although it lost
a little momentum in the early months of 2018. The weak coalition pulled together by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel
and messy elections in Italy continued to weigh on the region.

The UK started to see some light at the end of the Brexit tunnel and marginally more political stability than seen for much of 2017.
Nevertheless, global investors continued to shun UK assets and its stock market performed poorly relative to its peer group.

The information stated in this report is historical and not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 continued

Emerging markets were a key area of strength, although Asia saw some turbulence in the wake of the wrangling over trade tariffs.
Investors were encouraged by continued strong economic performance and growing corporate earnings.

Bond yields continue to move higher, particularly shorter-dated bonds. A notable phenomenon has been the flattening of the
US yield curve – traditionally a precursor to recession. However, while inflation has remained relatively benign, it has kept a lid
on yields. There are still significant deflationary forces at work – high debt, an ageing population and low business investment.
Corporate bonds remain at historically tight spreads over government bonds, but with the global economy still strong, there is
no immediate catalyst for a shift in direction.

Regulatory change continued throughout Europe and a number of these future changes could have implications for investors.
Key changes included:

Revisions to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID II”) and the new Markets in Financial Instruments
Regulation (“MiFIR”) came into effect at the beginning of 2018. New requirements include restrictions on how financial
advisers may be remunerated, plus disclosure on fees.

European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”): the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities published
the final draft of the Regulatory Technical Standards in March 2016, which provide the framework for EMIR. This aims
to increase the transparency and reduce the risk relating to over-the-counter derivatives. In May 2017, the European
Commission published a legislative proposal to amend EMIR, reflecting the outcome of its review into how the regulation
has worked since its adoption in 2012.

Packaged Retail Investment and Insurance-based Investment Products (“PRIIPs”): The new legislation – which governs
the marketing and distribution of financial products – came into effect at the start of 2018. Although the Funds are not directly
impacted by PRIIPs, investment in underlying securities and investors to Fund may be affected.

The Benchmarks Regulation also applies from 1 January 2018, subject to certain transitional provisions. This brings
in guidance on the structure and use of benchmarks in measuring the performance of investment funds.

There were no new fund launches or closures during the twelve month period. Assets Under Management (“AUM”) in the BGIF
range increased by 15.3 %. They now stand at USD 7.17 billion, up from USD 6.22 billion at the start of the period. The strongest
inflows were seen into the iShares Global Government Bond Index Fund, which rose 282 % to USD 363.16 million. The iShares
Euro Aggregate Bond Index Fund also saw strong growth, with AUM rising by 35.0 % to EUR 623.97 million. The iShares Emerging
Markets Government Bond Index Fund saw assets rise 30.2 % to USD 2,441 million.

Within equity funds, the iShares Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund saw the strongest flows, with AUM rising 19.7 % to
USD 522.96 million. The iShares Japan Index Fund was also strong, with assets up 22.7 % to USD 185.08 million. The iShares
Pacific ex Japan Equity Index Fund rose 14.4 % to USD 353.80 million.

Flows into the iShares North America Equity Index Fund were weak in spite of the strength of the US markets, falling 23.8 %
to USD 597.07 million. The iShares Europe Equity Index Fund saw net assets falling 11.0 % to EUR 381.37 million. The iShares
Euro Government Bond Index Fund saw assets fall, dropping 2.6 % to EUR 425.04 million. The iShares World Equity Index Fund
was also weak, with assets falling 18.1 % to USD 939.92 million.

As notified to shareholders on 26 July 2017, with effect from 29 August 2017, the use of the iShares brand was extended to cover
BlackRock’s index mutual funds range. As a result, the names of the following Funds have been rebranded as set out in the table
overleaf.

Investment Advisersʼ Report
Performance Overview
1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018

Disclosed in the table below are the performance returns for the primary share class for each Fund, which has been selected
as a representative share class. The primary share class for each Fund is the A class non-distributing share. Performance figures
for any other share class can be made available upon request.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a
product. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will
vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The Funds invest a large portion of assets which are denominated
in other currencies; hence changes in the relevant exchange rates will affect the value of the investment. The performance figures
do not consider charges and fees that may be levied at the time of subscription or redemption of shares. Levels and bases
of taxation may change from time to time. Subscriptions can only be made on the basis of the current Prospectus, the KIID,
supplemented by the most recent annual report and audited accounts and unaudited interim report and accounts, if published
after such annual report and audited accounts. Copies are available at the registered office of the company from the Local
Investor Servicing team(1), the Transfer Agent, the Management Company or any of the Distributors. BGIF is only available for
investment by non-US citizens who are not residents of the US. The Funds are not offered for sale or sold in the US, its territories
or possessions.

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D'ENTREPRISES AGREE

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of BlackRock Global Index Funds {the « Company ») and of each of its
sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the portfolio of investments as at 31 March 2018 and
the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

ln our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the
Company as at 31 March 2018, and of the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year
then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession {Law of 23 July
2016) and with International Standards on Auditing {ISAs) as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier" (CSSF). Our responsibilities under those Law and standards are further
described in the "Responsibilities of Réviseur d'entreprises agréé for the Audit of the Financial Statements"
section of our report. We are also independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted for
Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our report of Réviseur
d'entreprises agréé thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

ln connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
concluded that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have
nothing to report in this regards.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors of the Company and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements, and for such internai control as the Board of Directors of the Company
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

Deloitte.
ln preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for assessing the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors of the Company either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of Réviseur d'entreprises agréé
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the
CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errar and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg
by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain prafessional scepticism thraughout the
audit. We also:

• ldentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and apprapriate
• to pravide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internai contrai.
• Obtain an understanding of internai contrai relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are apprapriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internai contrai.
• Evaluate the apprapriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Company.
• Conclude on the apprapriateness of Board of Directors of the Company use of the going concem basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related
to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
report of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the Réviseur d'entreprises agréé. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internai contrai that we
identify during our audit.

Appendix II – Global Market Risk Exposure (Unaudited)
The Management Company adopted the Commitment Approach as the global exposure methodology of the Funds.

The Commitment Approach is a methodology that aggregates the underlying market or notional values of financial derivative
instruments to determine the degree of global exposure of a Fund to financial derivative instruments.

Pursuant to the 2010 Law, the global exposure for a Fund under the Commitment Approach must not exceed 100% of that Fund’s
NAV. As at 31 March 2018 the global exposure of each Fund did not exceed 100% of its NAV.

The Company may, on behalf of each Fund and subject to the conditions and within the limits laid down by the CSSF and the

arrangement and is delivered to and held in an account with a tri-party collateral manager in the name of the Depositary, State Street Bank
Luxembourg S.C.A. on behalf of the Funds. Collateral received is segregated from the assets belonging to the Funds’ Depositary or the
Securities Lending Agent.
