For the live figure, consult the fund's official website or its latest SEC EDGAR filing.

What is BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc.'s expense ratio?

How current is BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc.'s holdings data on StockSifting?

If the fund has made significant portfolio changes since that date — responding to market events, earnings releases, or macro shifts — those changes will not be reflected here until the next N-PORT filing is released. For the most up-to-date holdings before the public disclosure window, refer to the fund's official website or SEC EDGAR directly. StockSifting is best used for fundamental research and historical portfolio analysis, not real-time trading decisions.
