Key Facts About BlackRock Technology Opportunities Fund
Investment Objective
The investment objective of BlackRock Technology Oppor tunities Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BlackRock Funds SM (the “Trust”), is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Service Shares of the Fund. Amounts in the table are rounded to the nearest basis point, which in some cases may be “0.00.” You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to your financial professional or your selected securities dealer, broker, investment adviser, service provider or industry professional (including BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”) and its affiliates) (each, a “Financial Intermediary”), which are not reflected in the table and example below.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Service Shares Management Fee 1 0.75% Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees 0.25% Other Expenses 0.23% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 1.23% Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements 1,2 (0.09)% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements 1,2 1.14% 1 As described in the “Management of the Fund” section of the Fund’s prospectus beginning on page 30, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive the management fee with respect to any por tion of the Fund’s assets estimated to be attributable to investments in other equity and fixed income mutual funds and exchange-traded funds managed by BlackRock or its affiliates that have a contractual management fee, through June 30, 2028. In addition, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive its management fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Fund pays to BlackRock indirectly through its investment in money market funds managed by BlackRock or its affiliates, through June 30, 2028. The contractual agreements may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the non-interested trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. 2 As described in the “Management of the Fund” section of the Fund’s prospectus beginning on page 30, BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements (excluding Dividend Expense, Interest Expense, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and cer tain other Fund expenses) to 1.14% of average daily net assets through June 30, 2028. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the non interested trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Service Shares $116 $381 $667 $1,481
Portfolio Turnover: The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its por tfolio). A higher por tfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s per formance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s por tfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its por tfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. technology companies in all market capitalization ranges, selected for their rapid and sustainable growth potential from the development, advancement and use of technology. Investments in derivatives are counted toward the Fund’s 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities.
Technology companies may include those companies in the businesses of, among others: software, IT consulting, IT services, interactive home enter tainment, interactive media and services, networking equipment, telecom services, communications equipment, technology hardware, storage and peripherals, electronic equipment, instruments and components, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and consumer finance. The Fund may invest in both developed and emerging markets. BlackRock determines, in its discretion, whether a company is a technology company. The Fund seeks to invest primarily in common stock but may also invest in preferred stock and conver tible securities. The Fund may also invest in Rule 144A securities, which are privately placed securities purchased by qualified institutional buyers. From time to time the Fund may invest in shares of companies through initial public offerings (“IPOs”).
The Fund may, when consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, buy or sell options or futures on a security or an index of securities and may buy options on a currency or a basket of currencies, or enter into foreign currency transactions, including swaps (collectively, commonly known as derivatives). An option is the right to buy or sell a security or an index of securities at a specific price on or before a specific date. A future is an agreement to buy or sell a security or an index of securities at a specific price on a specific date. A swap is an agreement whereby one par ty exchanges its right to receive or its obligation to pay one type of currency for another par ty’s obligation to pay or its right to receive another type of currency in the future or for a period of time. The Fund typically uses derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or as par t of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as currency risk. The Fund may also use derivatives to enhance returns, in which case their use would involve leveraging risk. The Fund may seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency exchange contracts (obligations to buy or sell a currency at a set rate in the future).
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose par t or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not per form as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of the principal risks of investing in the Fund. The relative significance of each risk factor below may change over time and you should review each risk factor carefully. Equity Securities Risk — Stock markets are volatile. The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Technology Securities Risk — Cer tain technology-related companies may face special risks that their products or services may not prove to be commercially successful. Technology-related companies are also strongly affected by worldwide scientific or technological developments. As a result, their products may rapidly become obsolete. Such companies are also often subject to governmental regulation and may, therefore, be adversely affected by governmental policies. In addition, cer tain technology-related companies in which the Fund may invest may not currently be profitable and there can be no assurance that such companies will be profitable in the future.
Concentration Risk — The Fund’s strategy of concentrating in technology and related companies means that its per formance will be closely tied to the per formance of a par ticular market segment. The Fund’s concentration in these companies may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in these companies would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a mutual fund that does not concentrate in such companies. At times, the per formance of these companies will lag the per formance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. Convertible Securities Risk — The market value of a conver tible security per forms like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a conver tible security usually falls. In addition, conver tible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest, principal or dividends when due, and
3
NM1026U-5982597-3/12
Page 4
their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditwor thiness. Since it derives a por tion of its value from the common stock into which it may be conver ted, a conver tible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock, including the potential for increased volatility in the price of the conver tible security. Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives may increase its costs, reduce the Fund’s returns and/or increase volatility. Derivatives involve significant risks, including: Leverage Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives can magnify the Fund’s gains and losses. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a derivatives position and can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested. Market Risk — Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations than other securities. The Fund could also suffer losses related to its derivatives positions as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. Finally, BlackRock may not be able to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates and other economic factors, which could cause the Fund’s derivatives positions to lose value. Counterpar ty Risk — Derivatives are also subject to counterpar ty risk, which is the risk that the other par ty in the transaction will be unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, and the related risks of having concentrated exposure to such a counterpar ty. Illiquidity Risk — The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Operational Risk — The use of derivatives includes the risk of potential operational issues, including documentation issues, settlement issues, systems failures, inadequate controls and human error. Legal Risk — The risk of insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of counterpar ty, or legality or enforceability of a contract. Volatility and Correlation Risk — Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a shor t time period. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate with the overall securities markets.
Valuation Risk — Valuation for derivatives may not be readily available in the market. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Hedging Risk — Hedges are sometimes subject to imper fect matching between the derivative and the underlying security, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions will be effective. The use of hedging may result in cer tain adverse tax consequences. Tax Risk — Cer tain aspects of the tax treatment of derivative instruments, including swap agreements and commodity-linked derivative instruments, are currently unclear and may be affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. Such treatment may be less favorable than that given to a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. Emerging Markets Risk — Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging financial markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets. Foreign Securities Risk — Foreign investments often involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances that the Fund will lose money. These risks include: The Fund generally holds its foreign securities and cash in foreign banks and securities depositories, which may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business and may be subject to only limited or no regulatory oversight. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s por tfolio. The economies of cer tain foreign markets may not compare favorably with the economy of the United States with respect to such issues as growth of gross national product, reinvestment of capital, resources and balance of payments position. The governments of cer tain countries, or the U.S. Government with respect to cer tain countries, may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions through capital controls and/or sanctions on foreign investments in the capital
4
NM1026U-5982597-4/12
Page 5
markets or cer tain industries in those countries, which may prohibit or restrict the ability to own or transfer currency, securities, derivatives or other assets. Many foreign governments do not supervise and regulate stock exchanges, brokers and the sale of securities to the same extent as does the United States and may not have laws to protect investors that are comparable to U.S. securities laws. Settlement and clearance procedures in cer tain foreign markets may result in delays in payment for or delivery of securities not typically associated with settlement and clearance of U.S. investments. The Fund’s claims to recover foreign withholding taxes may not be successful, and if the likelihood of recovery of foreign withholding taxes materially decreases, due to, for example, a change in tax regulation or approach in the foreign country, accruals in the Fund’s net asset value for such refunds may be written down par tially or in full, which will adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value.
Geographic Concentration Risk — From time to time the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment per formance. The Fund’s investment per formance may also be more volatile if it concentrates its investments in cer tain countries, especially emerging market countries. Investment Style Risk — Under cer tain market conditions, growth investments have per formed better during the later stages of economic expansion. Therefore, this investment style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the investment style used by the Fund is out of favor, the Fund may underper form other equity funds that use different investment styles. Leverage Risk — Some transactions may give rise to a form of economic leverage. These transactions may include, among others, derivatives, and may expose the Fund to greater risk and increase its costs. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate por tfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the rules thereunder. Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund’s por tfolio will be magnified when the Fund uses leverage. 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. An investor could lose money over shor t periods due to fluctuation in the Fund’s net asset value in response to shor t-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities or other investments held by the Fund may underper form the markets, the relevant indices or benchmarks, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies, or may otherwise fail to per form as intended. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a par ticular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. The success of a Fund’s activities could be affected by interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncer tainty, changes in laws, tariffs and trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions, currency exchange controls, and local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events. Recent policy initiatives under taken by the U.S. government have the potential to impact international relations, trade agreements and the overall regulatory environment in ways that could create uncer tainty and instability in domestic and global markets, and could adversely affect the investment per formance of the Fund. In par ticular, actions taken by the U.S. government in respect of international trade relations could lead to trade wars, increased costs for impor ted goods, disruptions in supply chains, reduced foreign investment, and instability in regions where the Fund invests. Mid Cap Securities Risk — The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. “New Issues” Risk — “New issues” are IPOs of equity securities. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shor tly after the IPO. Operational and Technology Risks — The Fund is directly and indirectly susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of ar tificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI”), which may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund’s operations. While the Fund’s service providers are required to have appropriate operational, information security and cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures, their methods of risk management may differ from those of the Fund. Operational and technology risks
5
NM1026U-5982597-5/12
Page 6
for the issuers in which the Fund invests could also result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Fund’s investments in such issuers to lose value. Preferred Securities Risk — Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than preferred securities of larger companies. Purchase and Sale Contracts Risk — If the other par ty to a purchase and sale contract defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money. Restricted Securities Risk — Limitations on the resale, including any required lock up or holding periods, of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on their marketability and their liquidity may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at advantageous prices, if at all.. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. In order to sell cer tain restricted securities, the Fund may have to bear the expense of registering the securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration. Other transaction costs may be higher for restricted securities than unrestricted securities. Restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available, there may be limited other information regarding the investment’s market or fair value, and the securities values may have significant volatility. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a given restricted security, and therefore may be less able to determine the security’s market or fair value or assess the investment risks as fully as for other issuers for which more information is available. Cer tain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses to the Fund. Cer tain restricted securities may represent limited investment oppor tunities and each shareholder’s propor tionate investment exposure to such limited investment oppor tunities may be reduced propor tionately as the Fund’s net assets grow from new or additional investments made in the Fund by other shareholders. Small Cap Securities Risk — Small cap companies may have limited product lines or markets. They may be less financially secure than larger, more established companies. They may depend on a more limited management group than larger capitalized companies.
Performance Information
The information shows you how the Fund’s per formance has varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Effective December 30, 2017, the Fund changed its name, investment process and investment strategies. Per formance for the periods prior to December 30, 2017, shown below, is based on the investment process and investment strategies utilized by the Fund at that time under the name “BlackRock Science & Technology Oppor tunities Por tfolio.” The table compares the Fund’s per formance to that of the MSCI All Country World Index (Net), the MSCI All-Country World Information Technology 10/40 Index (Net) and the MSCI All-Country World Information Technology Index (Net). The MSCI All-Country World Information Technology 10/40 Index (Net) and the MSCI All-Country World Information Technology Index (Net) are relevant to the Fund because they have characteristics similar to the Fund’s investment strategy. To the extent that dividends and distributions have been paid by the Fund, the per formance information for the Fund in the char t and table assumes reinvestment of the dividends and distributions. As with all such investments, past per formance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future results. The table includes all applicable fees. If BlackRock and its affiliates had not waived or reimbursed cer tain Fund expenses during these periods, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Updated information on the Fund’s per formance, including its current net asset value, can be obtained by visiting www.blackrock.com or can be obtained by phone at (800) 882-0052.

Such indices use withholding tax rates that are often at a higher rate than the rates to which the Fund is subject in each country, including for countries where the Fund is not subject to withholding taxes. When this is the case, index per formance will be lower than if the index used the Fund’s applicable withholding tax rates, if any. For additional comparative per formance information for the MSCI All Country World Index, the MSCI All-Country World Information Technology 10/40 Index and the MSCI All Country World Information Technology Index, please see the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. 2 The inception date of the MSCI All-Country World Information Technology 10/40 Index (Net) was February 23, 2024. 3 The Fund has added this additional benchmark.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
