BlackRock Capital Appreciation Fund Investor A Shares 

The BlackRock Capital Appreciation Fund primarily focuses its investments on a diversified collection of common stocks issued by U.S. companies. Its management team actively seeks out domestic firms that, in their assessment, have consistently demonstrated superior long-term earnings growth. A substantial portion of the fund's holdings, specifically at least 65% of its total assets, will typically be allocated to equity securities. This includes common shares, convertible preferred stock, other instruments exchangeable for common stock, and rights that allow for the subscription to common stock. While the fund maintains the flexibility to invest in companies across all market capitalizations, it strategically emphasizes businesses with medium to large stock market values.
