Portfolio Turnover:
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio 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 Portfolios performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolios portfolio turnover rate was 50% of the
average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Retirement Core Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing
at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, primarily common stock, of large cap companies located in the United States that BlackRock selects
from among those that are, at the time of purchase, included in the Funds benchmark, the Russell 1000
®
Index. Equity securities
consist primarily of common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked
to the value of common stock. Large cap companies are companies that at the time of purchase have a market capitalization equal to or greater than the
top 80% of the companies that comprise the Russell 1000
®
Index. As of June 28, 2013, the most recent rebalance date, the lowest market
capitalization in this group was $3.8 billion. The market capitalizations of companies in the index change with market conditions and the composition
of the index.
The Fund will use an investment approach that blends growth and
value. Growth companies are those whose earnings growth potential appears to the Fund management team to be greater than the market in general and
whose revenue growth is expected to continue for an extended period. Stocks of growth companies typically pay relatively low dividends and sell at
relatively high valuations. Value companies are those that appear to be undervalued by the market as measured by certain financial
formulas.
The Fund is a feeder fund that invests all of its
assets in Master Core Portfolio, which has the same investment objective and strategies as the Fund. All investments are made at the Portfolio level.
This structure is sometimes called a master/feeder structure. The Funds investment results will correspond directly to the investment
results of the Portfolio. For simplicity, the prospectus uses the terms Retirement Core Fund or Fund (as applicable) to include
the Portfolio.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in
Retirement Core 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 part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary
description of principal risks of investing in the Fund.
n
|
|
Equity Securities Risk
Stock markets are
volatile. The price of an equity security fluctuates based on changes in a companys financial condition and overall market and economic
conditions.
|
n
|
|
Investment Style Risk
Under certain market
conditions, growth investments have performed better during the later stages of economic expansion and value investments have performed better during
periods of economic recovery. Therefore, these investment styles 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 underperform other equity funds that use different investment styles.
|
n
|
|
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. Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by Fund management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the
securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. This means you may lose money.

Performance Information
The returns for Class K Shares of Retirement Core Fund prior to
their inception date of January 3, 2008 are based upon the performance of Institutional Shares of BlackRock Large Cap Core Fund, a series of the
Corporation which is also a feeder fund into Master Core Portfolio. The returns for the Class K Shares, however, are adjusted to reflect the annual
fund operating expenses of Class K Shares of the Fund.
The information shows you how the Funds performance has
varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table compares the Class K Share performance to that of the
Russell 1000
®
Index. As with all such investments, past performance is not an indication of future results. Sales charges are not
reflected in the bar chart. If they were, returns would be less than those shown. However, the table includes all applicable fees and sales charges. If
BlackRock and its affiliates had not waived or reimbursed certain Fund expenses during these periods, the Funds returns would have been lower.

Tax Information
Because of the special tax rules applicable to investments by

are invested through such a plan, you will not be taxed on dividends paid by the Fund or on the proceeds of a redemption or an exchange of shares of

requirements of Section 401(a) or 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Payments to Broker/Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or
other financial intermediary, the Fund and BlackRock Investments, LLC, the Funds distributor, or its affiliates may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary and your individual financial professional to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial professional or
visit your financial intermediarys website for more information.
