BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of BlackRock, Inc., announces today the estimated annual capital gains
distributions for the iShares Funds for the 2010 tax year. Please note that
these are estimated amounts only as of November 5, 2010 and include
forward-looking information which may cause the estimates to change before the
Funds' December 15 tax year-end. These estimates are for the year-end capital
gains distributions only, which are typically reinvested rather than paid in
cash, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual
cash distribution amounts.
We expect to announce the final year-end distribution amounts, as well as the
monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cash distribution amounts, on or about
December 17. The ex-dividend date for the 2010 annual distributions will be
December 24. The record date for the 2010 annual distributions will be December
30. The distributions will be paid/reinvested on December 31. The actual taxable
amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2010, including the tax
characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS)
in early 2011.

Reasons for some of the larger estimated capital gains distributions
XAL
The iShares Alternatives Completion Portfolio Builder Fund ("XAL") experienced
capital gains in 2010 due mostly to realized gains on investments in ETFs which
provide exposure to property and infrastructure. XAL also realized capital gains
on forward contracts used to hedge currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. XAL's
portfolio is generally rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
XCR
The iShares Conservative Core Portfolio Builder Fund ("XCR") experienced capital
gains in 2010 due mostly to realized gains on investments in ETFs which provide
exposure to Canadian equities and property. XCR also realized capital gains on
forward contracts used to hedge currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. XCR's
portfolio is generally rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
XCS
The iShares S&P(R)/TSX(R) SmallCap Index Fund ("XCS") experienced capital gains
in 2010 due mostly to turnover that resulted from the September 2010 annual
index reconstitution of the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index. The index experienced
one-way turnover of over 30% during that review, and 41 securities were deleted
from the index. XCS's disposition of these securities resulted in realized
capital gains.
XGD
The iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index Fund ("XGD") experienced capital gains in
2010 due mostly to the acquisition, and subsequent deletion from XGD's benchmark
index, of LIHIR Gold Ltd., as well as the various rebalances for the fund. XGD's
disposition of LIHIR Gold Ltd., as well as sales of other securities during the
quarterly rebalances of the index, resulted in realized capital gains.
XRE
The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index Fund ("XRE") experienced capital gains in
2010 due mostly to the funding trades for the addition of Artis REIT and Allied
Properties REIT to the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index during its September quarterly
index review. XRE sold various securities in order to fund the purchase of these
additional securities, which resulted in realized capital gains.
XSP
The iShares S&P 500 Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) ("XSP") experienced capital gains in
2010 due mostly to realized gains on forward contracts used to hedge currency
exposure to the U.S. dollar.
