The level of the yield may be subject to fluctuation. The difference between the redemption and the running (or income) yield is because the redemption yield takes into account expected capital payments as well as income payments should the bonds be held until maturity. The running (or income) yield gives an indication of the income to be paid based on the fund's current holdings. The Gross redemption yield figures quoted are predictions and not guaranteed.

As with other investments, investors should be aware that the price of your investment (which may trade in limited markets) may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invested. In addition your income is not fixed and may fluctuate. Investors are advised to seek the advice of an independent financial advisor in assessing the suitability of iShares as an investment.
