The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
In the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, risk assets, such as
stocks and high-yield bonds, continued to deliver strong performance. These markets showed great resilience during a period with big political surprises, including the aftermath of the U.K.s vote to leave the European Union and the outcome of
the U.S. presidential election, which brought only brief spikes in equity market volatility. In contrast, closely watched elections in France, the Netherlands, and Australia countered the isolationist and nationalist political developments in the
U.K. and the United States.
Interest rates rose, which worked against high-quality assets with more interest rate sensitivity. Consequently, longer-term U.S.
Treasuries posted negative returns, as rising energy prices, modest wage increases, and steady job growth led to expectations of higher inflation and further interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed).
The markets performance reflected reflationary expectations early in the reporting period, as investors began to sense that a global recovery was afoot.
Thereafter, many countries throughout the world experienced sustained and synchronized growth for the first time since the financial crisis. Growth rates and inflation are still relatively low, but they are finally rising together.
The Fed responded to these positive developments by increasing short-term interest rates three times and setting expectations for additional interest rate increases.
The Fed also began reducing the vast balance sheet reserves that had accumulated in the wake of the financial crisis. In October 2017, the Fed reduced its $4.5 trillion balance sheet by only $10 billion, while setting expectations for additional
modest reductions and rate hikes in 2018.
By contrast, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) both continued to expand
their balance sheets despite nascent signs of sustained economic growth. The Eurozone and Japan are both approaching the limits of central banks ownership share of debt issued by their respective governments, which is a structural pressure
point that limits their capacity to deliver additional monetary stimulus. In October 2017, the ECB announced plans to cut the amount of its bond purchases in half for 2018, while the BoJ reiterated its commitment to economic stimulus until the
inflation rate rises to its target of 2.0%.
Emerging market growth also stabilized, as accelerating growth in China, the second largest economy in the world and
the most influential of all developing economies, improved the outlook for corporate profits and economic growth across most developing nations. Chinese demand for commodities and other raw materials allayed concerns about the countrys banking
system, leading to rising equity prices and foreign investment flows.
While escalating tensions between the United States and North Korea and our nations
divided politics are significant concerns, benign credit conditions, modest inflation, solid corporate earnings, and the positive outlook for growth in the worlds largest economies have kept markets relatively tranquil.
High valuations across most assets have laid the groundwork for muted returns going forward. At current valuation levels, potential equity gains will likely be closely
tied to the pace of earnings growth, which has remained solid thus far in 2017, particularly in emerging markets. In this environment, investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes, and be nimble as
market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in todays markets.
Sincerely,

Municipal Market
Overview For the Reporting Period Ended October 31, 2017
Municipal Market Conditions
Municipal bonds experienced modestly positive performance for the period as a result of rising interest rates spurring from generally stronger economic data, signs of inflation pressures, Fed monetary policy
normalization, and market expectations for pro-growth fiscal policy. However, ongoing reassurance from the Fed that rates would be increased gradually and would likely remain low overall resulted in continued
demand for fixed income investments. More specifically, investors favored the income, attractive relative yield, and stability of municipal bonds amid bouts of interest rate volatility (bond prices rise as rates fall) resulting from geopolitical
tensions, the contentious U.S. election, and evolving global central bank policies. During the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, municipal bond funds experienced net outflows of approximately $3 billion (based on data from the Investment
Company Institute). The asset class came under pressure post the November U.S. election as a result of uncertainty surrounding potential tax-reform, though expectation that tax reform was likely to be delayed
or watered down quickly eased investor concerns.
|
|
|
For the same 12-month period, total new issuance remained healthy from a historical perspective at $376 billion (though well below the robust
$441 billion issued in the prior 12-month period). A noteworthy portion of new supply during this period was attributable to refinancing activity (roughly 51%) as issuers continued to take advantage of
low interest rates and a flat yield curve to reduce their borrowing costs. |

A Closer Look at Yields
|
From October 31, 2016 to October 31, 2017, yields on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds increased by 27 basis points
(bps) from 2.56% to 2.83%, while 10-year rates rose by 28 bps from 1.73% to 2.01% and 5-year rates increased 29 bps from 1.13% to 1.42% (as measured by
Thomson Municipal Market Data). The municipal yield curve steepened modestly over the 12-month period with the spread between 2- and
30-year maturities steepening by just 2 bps. |
During the same time period, on a relative basis, tax-exempt municipal bonds strongly outperformed U.S. Treasuries with the greatest outperformance experienced in the
front and intermediate portions of the yield curve. The relative positive performance of municipal bonds was driven largely by a supply/demand imbalance within the municipal market as investors sought income and incremental yield in an environment
where opportunities became increasingly scarce. The asset class is known for its lower relative volatility and preservation of principal with an emphasis on income as tax rates rise.
Financial Conditions of Municipal Issuers
The majority of municipal credits remain strong, despite well-publicized distress among a few issuers. Four of the five states with the largest amount of debt outstanding California, New York, Texas
and Florida have exhibited markedly improved credit fundamentals during the slow national recovery. However, several states with the largest unfunded pension liabilities have seen their bond prices decline noticeably and remain vulnerable to
additional price deterioration. On the local level, Chicagos credit quality downgrade is an outlier relative to other cities due to its larger pension liability and inadequate funding remedies. BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond
defaults will remain minimal and in the periphery while the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to advocate careful credit research and believe that a thoughtful approach to structure and security selection remains imperative amid
uncertainty in a modestly improving economic environment.
The opinions expressed are those of BlackRock as of October 31, 2017, and are
subject to change at any time due to changes in market or economic conditions. The comments should not be construed as a recommendation of any individual holdings or market sectors. Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Bond values
fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit
risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds
may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable.
The Standard & Poors Municipal Bond Index, a broad, market value-weighted index, seeks to measure the performance of the U.S. municipal
bond market. All bonds in the index are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only. It is not possible to invest directly
in an index.

2017 BLACKROCK SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the distribution rate
on, and net asset value (NAV) of, their common shares (Common Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on
short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by a Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of the Funds (including the assets obtained from
leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Funds shareholders benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of
dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV.
To illustrate these
concepts, assume a Funds Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it utilizes leverage for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available for investment in longer-term income securities. If prevailing
short-term interest rates are 3% and longer-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, a Funds financing costs on the $30 million of proceeds obtained from leverage are based on the lower
short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by a Fund with the proceeds from leverage earn income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, a Funds financing cost of leverage is significantly lower than the
income earned on a Funds longer-term investments acquired from such leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of Common Shares (Common Shareholders) are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the
ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other costs of leverage exceed the Funds return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Funds had not used leverage. Furthermore, the
value of the Funds portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the value of the Funds obligations
under their respective leverage arrangements generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds NAVs positively or negatively. Changes in the future direction of interest
rates are very difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that the Funds intended leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each Funds NAV, market price and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to
cause a greater decline in the NAV and market price of a Funds Common Shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. In addition, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to
comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Funds ability to invest in certain types of
securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares. Moreover, to the extent the
calculation of the Funds investment advisory fees includes assets purchased with the proceeds of leverage, the investment advisory fees payable to the Funds investment adviser will be higher than if the Funds did not use leverage.
To obtain leverage, each Fund has issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP Shares) and
Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares) (collectively, Preferred Shares) and/or leveraged its assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (TOB Trusts) as described in the Notes to Financial
Statements.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), each Fund is
permitted to issue debt up to 33 1/3% of its total managed assets or equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of its total managed assets. A Fund may voluntarily elect to limit its leverage to less than the maximum amount permitted under
the 1940 Act. In addition, a Fund may also be subject to certain asset coverage, leverage or portfolio composition requirements imposed by the Preferred Shares governing instruments or by agencies rating the Preferred Shares, which may be more
stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act.
If a Fund segregates or designates on its books and records cash
or liquid assets having a value not less than the value of a Funds obligations under the TOB Trust (including accrued interest), then the TOB Trust is not considered a senior security and is not subject to the foregoing limitations and
requirements imposed by the 1940 Act.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure
to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other asset without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate,
commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset,
possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. The Funds successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment advisers ability to predict pertinent market movements
accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to
shareholders. The Funds investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2017 |
|
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. |
Investment Objective
BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc.s (MUA) (the Fund) investment objective is to provide high current income exempt from U.S. federal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of
medium- to lower-grade or unrated municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from U.S. federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax). The Fund invests at
least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds that are rated in the medium to lower rating categories by nationally recognized rating services (for example, Baa or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or BBB or lower
by Standard & Poors Corporation (S&P), or securities that are unrated but are deemed by the investment adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest directly in such securities or
synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Funds investment
objective will be achieved.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance results may include adjustments made for
financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The following
discussion relates to the Funds absolute performance based on NAV:
|
|
U.S. municipal bonds rallied in the six-month period due to the combination of fading prospects for tax reform during the early spring and summer, a
positive balance of supply and demand in the market, and budget agreements in Illinois and Connecticut. Longer-term bonds outpaced shorter-term issues, reflecting the backdrop of muted inflation data and expectations for continued monetary policy
tightening by the Fed. |
|
|
The Funds positions in longer-dated securities made the largest contribution to performance, as bonds in the 20- to 40-year maturity range outpaced the broader market. |
|
|
Investments in lower-rated investment-grade, below investment-grade and non-rated securities benefited performance at a time of robust investor risk
appetites. Credit spreads narrowed considerably amid strong fund flows and investors ongoing search for yield. |
|
|
At the sector level, the largest contributions came from health care, transportation and tobacco issues. The Fund gained an additional benefit from investments in development districts and
single-site project financings. |
|
|
Investments in high-quality, pre-refunded securities in the one- to five-year range declined in value amid the upward pressure on
short-term interest rates fostered by the ongoing normalization of monetary policy. These positions, which the Fund acquired in a higher-rate environment, were retained due to their above average income. |
|
|
The Funds modest exposure to general obligation bonds issued by Puerto Rico, which suffered large price declines in the wake of hurricane damage on the island, also detracted.

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P or Moodys if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating
agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |
|
|
(b) |
The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and
individual investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the
investment adviser to be investment grade represents 1% and 5%, respectively, of the Funds total investments. |

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance results may include adjustments made for
financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The following
discussion relates to the Funds absolute performance based on NAV:
|
|
U.S. municipal bonds rallied in the six-month period due to the combination of fading prospects for tax reform during the early spring and summer, a
positive balance of supply and demand in the market, and budget agreements in Illinois and Connecticut. Longer-term bonds outpaced shorter-term issues, reflecting the backdrop of muted inflation data and expectations for continued monetary policy
tightening by the Fed. |
|
|
Portfolio income, enhanced by leverage, produced the largest positive contribution to performance in a period characterized by a mild decline in municipal bond yields. (Prices and yields move
in opposite directions.) |
|
|
The Funds exposure to the long end of the yield curve aided results at a time of outperformance for longer-term bonds. Positions in lower-coupon bonds, including zero-coupon issues, contributed to performance due to their above-average interest rate sensitivity. |
|
|
The Funds position in New Jersey state-appropriated debt benefited from a meaningful tightening of yield spreads. At the sector level, transportation issues made a strong contribution
to performance. Municipal bonds subject to the AMT, which outperformed in anticipation of possible tax law changes, also performed well. |
|
|
The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures, which had a small, positive effect on returns. |
|
|
Exposure to pre-refunded issues slightly hurt Fund results given the underperformance of short-term bonds. |
|
|
Reinvestment was a further detractor, as the proceeds of higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called needed to be reinvested at materially lower prevailing rates.
|
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P or Moodys if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating
agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |
|
|
(b) |
The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual
investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment adviser
to be investment grade each represents less than 1% of the Funds total investments. |

|
|
The Funds positions in longer-dated securities made the largest contribution to performance, as bonds in the 20- to 40-year maturity range outpaced the broader market. |
|
|
Investments in lower-rated securities within the investment-grade market benefited performance at a time of robust investor risk appetites. Credit spreads narrowed considerably amid strong
fund flows and investors ongoing search for yield. |
|
|
At the sector level, the largest contributions came from state and local tax-backed, transportation and health care issues. |
|
|
Investments in high-quality, pre-refunded securities in the one- to five-year range declined in value amid the
upward pressure on short-term interest rates fostered by the ongoing normalization of monetary policy. These positions, which the Fund acquired in a higher-rate environment, were retained due to their above average income. |
|
|
The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures, which had a small, positive effect on returns. |

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P or Moodys if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating
agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and
individual investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance results may include adjustments made for

The following
discussion relates to the Funds absolute performance based on NAV:
|
|
U.S. municipal bonds rallied in the six-month period due to the combination of fading prospects for tax reform during the early spring and summer, a positive balance of supply and
demand in the market, and budget agreements in Illinois and Connecticut. Longer-term bonds outpaced shorter-term issues, reflecting the backdrop of muted inflation data and expectations for continued monetary policy tightening by the Fed.
|
|
|
The Fund posted a gain in the period, with positive performance coming from both income and rising bond prices. |
|
|
Geographically, positive returns were driven by exposure to Illinois and New Jersey bonds. Illinois passed its budget and moved closer to achieving fiscal balance and saw a stabilization of its credit rating. In New
Jersey, legislation that redirected roughly $1 billion annually in lottery proceeds to the states pension funds helped stabilize its credit rating and contributed to positive returns for the New Jersey credits held in the Fund.
|
|
|
Positions in the tax-backed (state), tax-backed (local) and transportation sectors were positive contributors to performance. Holdings in
longer-term bonds also added value in the period. |
|
|
The Fund utilized a mix of U.S. Treasury futures contracts to help manage the risk of rising interest rates. This strategy was tactically adjusted throughout the period, resulting in a modestly positive contribution to
performance. |
|
|
The Funds emphasis on higher-quality bonds was a headwind at a time of outperformance for issues rated below investment grade. Reinvestment was a further drag on results, as the proceeds of higher-yielding bonds
that matured or were called needed to be reinvested at materially lower prevailing rates. |
|
|
The Funds holdings in short-term, pre-refunded bonds, while producing positive returns, lagged somewhat due to the premium amortization that occurred as the bonds approached
their call and maturity dates. (When a bonds price trades at a premium over its face value, the difference is amortized over time. A premium occurs when the price of the bond has increased due to a decline in interest rates.)
|
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or
other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

|
|
Concentrations in intermediate securities maturing in the 12- to 16-year range contributed to performance. The
Funds use of leverage also boosted returns by enhancing income and amplifying the effect of rising bond prices. |
|
|
The Funds allocation to A and BBB rated investment-grade debt aided results, as lower-quality bonds outperformed. Positions in the transportation and
tax-backed (state) sectors further helped performance, highlighted by the strong showing of New Jersey and Illinois issues. |
|
|
The Fund utilized a mix of U.S. Treasury futures contracts to help manage the risk of rising interest rates. This strategy was tactically adjusted throughout the period, resulting in a
modestly positive contribution to performance. |
|
|
Positions in shorter-dated bonds, including high-quality pre-refunded securities, hurt results at a time in which shorter-term bonds lagged. The
Funds more-seasoned holdings also detracted due to the premium amortization that occurred as the bonds approached their call and maturity dates. (When a bonds price trades at a premium over its face value, the difference is amortized
over time. A premium occurs when the price of the bond has increased due to a decline in interest rates.) Additionally, positions in higher-quality securities underperformed relative to lower-quality issues. |

Investments in lower-rated securities within the investment-grade market benefited performance at a time of robust investor risk appetites. Credit spreads narrowed considerably amid strong
fund flows and investors ongoing search for yield. |
|
|
At the sector level, the largest contributions came from state and local tax-backed, transportation and utilities issues. |
|
|
Investments in high-quality, pre-refunded securities in the one- to five-year range declined in value amid the
upward pressure on short-term interest rates fostered by the ongoing normalization of monetary policy. These positions, which the Fund acquired in a higher-rate environment, were retained due to their above average income. |
|
|
The Fund sought to manage interest rate risk using U.S. Treasury futures, which had a small, positive effect on returns. |
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on

(a) |
For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P or Moodys if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating
agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |
|
|
(b) |
The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and
individual investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017 the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment
adviser to be investment grade represents 1% and 3%, respectively, of the Funds total investments. |
